SHANGHAI.

The news from Shanghai, which comes down to the
morning of the sth inst.. is of a highly interesting and im-
portant nature. It is still too early even to hazard an
opinion on the influence recent events will have imme-
diately- on trade, but the ultimate result is beyond doubt.
The country which will be opened to foreign commerce is
rich and well peopled, and, what is of more importance,
the inhabitants are clothed, and consequently will be far
larger consumers than the natives of the middle and southern
portions of the empire.
Business in general remained almost at a dead stand, the
only ottlet being Ningpo, and if, as was currently reported,
the rebels should invest and ultimately occupy this port,
the business of Shanghai must come to stand, or the na-
tional parly must be dislodged from some of their vantage
ground.
It would be difficult, and perhaps unwise to give any
quotations for manufactured goods, which would in almost
every instance be nominal. We therefore forbear doing so.
Tea.—The amount of business in this staple had been
extremely small, and that little had bean in tea received
from Ningpo. A few chops from
Ningchow tea had been
brought to market, and 1,500 chests had been shipped;
but, on Teaman's account, 800 chests Hwoehow had been
settled at 18 to 23 taels, 500 chests common Congou at 15
taels, and a small parcel of Oolong.
Green Tea.—About 7,500 packages had bean settled, and
of Japan about 2,000 packages. The quality of the Chinese
tea was in such a state as to forbid classification, and con-
sequently quotations are nominal.
Silk.—Considerable business had been done in silk.

brisk. Largo sales continued very

Tea.—The recent large business had in a measure sub-
sided. Adverse accounts of business generally from home,
large stocks, and apparent indifference on the part of the
te
amen had caused the transactions to be limited. The
market had, however, a downward tendency. Settlements
reported were as follows :-10,000 chests Congou, dusty to
common, 121 to 18 taels ; good common to Savoury, 19 t°
24,1 i taels; Ningchow, 26i taels; 700 chests Souchong, 33f
taels ; 600 chests flowery Pekoe, 35i to 40} tads.

FALL OF THE FUNDS.—The cause of the fall in
the funds yesterday afternoon consisted in the receipt of
mercantile telegrams from Now York eia Halifax, quoting
the rate of exchange for bankers' bills on London at 106 f
—a decline of 1f per cent. since the previous advises, and
which, if it could be supposed to be in anY degree perma-
nent, would attract large sums of gold from this side. The
supposition, however, is that the movement is du e solely to
the agitation for disunion having caused a great amount of
Southern bills to be suddenly thrown on the New York
market, for which gold has been taken, thus causing a
sharp pressure for money. The New York bankers would
buy these bills to any amount at low terms, but to obtain

and should cause no uneasiness, as within the

next few weeks there must be numerous remittances from
New York to London, not only on account of interest due
on investments, but for a large amount of Ohio stock fall-
ing- due belonging to English capitalists.

THE SUN.
LONDON, TUESDAY, NOV. 27, 1860.
Seven miles from Pekin—Six miles from Pekin
—FIVE miles from Pekin : that is the last news
from the seat of war in China! It comes to us
simultaneously with detailed accounts of the ad-
vance of the allied forces from Tientsin to the
capital of the invaded Empire—together with full
particulars as to the last two notable hand-to•hand
struggles between the Allies and the Chinese, the
one on the 18th, the other on the 21st of Sep-
tember.

Examining the Royal Geographer's map of that
whole stretch of country lying between the north-
. east coasts of China on the Gulf of Pecheli,
and the hitherto impenetrable capital one
can now very readily, by tho' light afforded us
through these latest advices from the Alliod head_
'l:utters, follow the Anglo-French troops day by
day, step by step, from the morning of their leaving
: Tientsin on the Bth of Septeinber to their arrival,
as before intimated, within a distance of merely
five
from the walls of Pekin on the 23d or
21th of %teinber.
Advancing from Tien-tsin on the Bth our cavalry

" we' appear to have arrived at Ho-si-wu, "the
largest town, excepting Yang tsun, we had seen on
the march" writes one of the Correspondents.
Here at Ho-si-wu our troops remained for three
or four days until the advance in fact upon
on the 17th of September. About four miles be-
yond this, and within a single mile from Ho-ko-
chuang, on the 18th occurred the first of those two
resolute engagementa bctvicen the Allies and the
Tartar Cavalry, the second of which engagements
occurred nearly three days afterwards, namely, on
the 2tst of September. Upon the former occasion,
