THE ARMY.

In a letter dated Shanghai, June 13, an officer,
writing to his friends in Plymouth, says :
" Affairs in this place are in a most wretched
condition. The Imperial troops have been defeated
by the rebels at Hangchow and Soochow, two places
very important to England with regard to com-
merce; the former being the great emporium for
tea, while the latter is the great market from which
silk is brought. The rebels behave with much
cruelty to their captives, destroying men, women,
and children. At Hangchow no less than 75,000
were put to death, f e streets flowing with blood.
They are now threatening this place with an attack.
To protect the British residents, as well as the Im-
perialists, 400 marines and others have been landed,
and are quartered in some of the temples. It must
appear strange to the people of England that we
should protect here the very class of men whom in
another month we are going to fight in the north.
The Chinese Government have .our troops and the
French regularly in their service. They pay, feed,
and furnish residences for them according to the
custom of the English. The officers are messed
free, and are allowed to make use of whatever they
please. Executions are almost of daily occurrence,
either of rebels or of deserters from the Imperial
army. After the executions the heads are strung
up in twenties, and exposed in public places as a
warning to others. I saw about 30 the other day
in a most decayed and offensive condition. This
state of affairs will prevent many here from going
north, to their great chagrin and disappointment.
The General and Admiral are hourly expected from
Hong Kong, when it will be decided. Most of the
other troops have already departed."
The reinforcements for the 73d Regiment, to the
number of 259 non-commissioned officers and men,
were drawn up on the parade-ground at Chatham
Barracks yesterday morning, where they were in-
spected by Major-Gen. Eyre, accompanied by his
Aide-de-Camp, Lieut.-Col. Gordon. The troops com-
posing the detachment are generally a very fine
body of men, and will prove a valuable addi-
tion to the service companies, which have
fallen very much below their proper strength by
reason of no draughts having been despatched from
the depot for some time, it having been generally
understood that the regiment, which has been 15
years in India, was on the eve of returning home.
The order, however, for its return has been
countermanded for the present, and it is now uncer-
tain when the head quarters will leave India. The
reinforcements will embark at Gravesend on Satur-
day next, in the Gosforth.

THE' NEW RIDE IN HYDE-PARA.

This afternoon a deputation waited upon the Hon. Mr.
Cowper, First Commissioner of Works, for the purpose of
presenting a memorial to the right hon. gentleman in
favour of the new ride in Hyde-Park.
The deputation having been introduced by Mr. S.
Gurney, M.P.

Mr. TELLETT, the chairman of the committee, said he
had great pleasure in presenting a memorial in favour of
the new ride in Hyde-park, which had lately been made
by direction of the First Commissioner, and in doing so
said the memorial was signed by gentlemen of the greatest
influence in the neighbourhood. Having entered at some
length into an explanation as to the manner in which sig-
natures to the memorial had been obtained, he said
the circumstance of bills having been affixed to
the trees soliciting signatures was done without the
knowledge of the committee, and the instant
it became known to them they immediately ordered
their removal. He spoke the sentiments of the whole de-
putation when he asserted that the new ride would be of
the greatest good ; and the hostile remarks that had been
made were made by persons who would not think of the
great boon that had been conferred on the public. The
memorial he had the honour to lay before the right
hon. gentleman prayed for the continuance of the new ride
and had received the signatures of no less than 5,475 per-
sons ; not one of whose signatures had been obtained
in an underhand manner. There were 2,793 no-
bility and gentry, tradesmen 1,389 members of Parlia-
ment 71, medical gentlemen 46, army and navy 253,
the clergy 42, law 56, and mechanics 825, making in all
the number he had stated above. He concluded by hoping
that the right hon. gentleman would continue to maintain
the ride, and thus consider the wishes of thousands in pre-
ference to hundreds.

Mr. AUSTIN, a large owner of property in the neighbour-
hood, said he was quite sure that many persons who had
signed the petition for the discontinuance of the ride, had
done so under mistaken circumstances, and if they were
now asked for their signatures, would at once refuse them.
Mr. CRoucu said the clamour against the ride had been
got up by parties who had large power of lungs, and plenty
of time; and certainly not by those parties most interested
—namely, the residents in the neighbourhood.
Several other gentlemen having addressed the right hon.
gentleman,
Mr. COWPER, in replying generally to the remarks of the
various speakers, said he was much pleased with the memo-
rial, as it showed that the residents in the neighbourhood
agreed with him that the new ride would prove an enjoy
meat to the people, while it would improve the property of
the surrounding neighbourhood. The agitation against
the ride had been got up by persons who took an interest
in agitation, and he did not think it had much chance of
success. Many improvements would be made in the ride
if it became permanent.
The deputation then withdrew.

POLILT INTELLIGENCE-Aug. 14.

MANSION-TIOUSE.—David Foster, a tailor,
33 years of age, living in Rose and Crown-court,
Half-moon-street, was charged with an assault upon
his wife.

The Lord Mayor told the prisoner it was a brutal
and unmanly assault ; besides, he appeared to have
treated her so ill that she was compelled to leave him
a few months after marriage. The sentence of the
Court was that he be imprisoned and kept to hard
labour for two calendar months. His lordship ad-
vised the wife to go to the union with her child.
The Lord Mayor has received from a lady, sign-
ing " C. P.," is. 6d. for the four Irish boys, or-
phans, who recently applied for relief to the court
in a state of distress.

In the case of James Lee, a decayed actor, who
was brought before the court on Friday, charged
with begging, and who, in consideration of a state-
ment he made as to his age and infirmities, was
discharged with an admonition, his lordship took
occasion to say that he had since received several
sums of money for his use from benevolent persons,
but that, in consequence of a communication which
had been addressed, to him from a quarter where
Lee was well known, to the effect that he was not a
person deserving of sympathy or charity, he (the
Lord Mayor) should retain the money until he
received the directions of the donors as to its dis-
posal.

THE NA VY.

1 The Etna, 16, steam floating battery, 200-horse
power, one of the squadron of iron-cased floating
batteries now under repair at Chatham dockyard,
has undergone a careful survey by the officers
of that establishment, the result of which
I is that the vessel is found to be generally in good
repair, and in a more satisfactory condi-
tion than either of the floating batteries yet
taken in hand. The Etna was built in Cha-
tham dockyard during the most exciting time of
the Russian war, and notwithstanding the rapidity
with which she was constructed it is satisfactory to
find that her huge timbers, and indeed every part
of her, remain as sound and in as excellent condi-
tion as on the day she was completed. A few in-
cidental repairs will also be effected, after which
she will be undocked, and another of the floating
batteries taken into the same dock to be overhauled
and repaired. It is believed that the suggestion
made to the Government some time since by a
writer in the Times for the employment of the float-
ing batteries on certain parts of the coast will be
adopted, and that as soon as the several batteries
have been repaired, manned, and equipped they will
be placed on conspicuous parts of the southern and
south-eastern coasts, in which positions their large
and powerful guns will sweep a considerable per-
tion of sea and dockyards.

Linnet is being fitted at Chatham for the second•

THE ARMY.

♦
In a letter dated Shanghai, June 13, an officer,
writing to his friends in Plymouth; says :
" Affairs in this place are in a most wretched
condition. The Imperial troops have been defeated
by the rebels at Hangchowand Soochow, two places
very important to England with regard to com-
merce; the former being the great emporium for
tea, while the latter is the great market from which
silk is brought. The rebels behave with much
cruelty to their captives, destroying men, women,
and children. At Hangchow no less than 75,000
were put to death, the streets flowing with blood.
They are now threatening this place with an attack.
To protect the British residents, as well as the Im-
perialists, 400 marines and others have been landed,
and are quartered in some of the temples. It must
appear strange to the people of England that we
should protect here the very class of men whom in
another month we are going to fight in the north.
The Chinese Government have our troops and the
French regularly in their service. They pay, feed,
and furnish residences for them according to the
custom of the English. The officers are messed
free, and are allowed to make use of whatever they
please. Executions are almost of daily occurrence,
either of rebels or of deserters from the Imperial
army. After the executions the heads are strung
up in twenties, and exposed in public places as a
warning to others. I saw about 30 the other day
in a most decayed and offensive condition. This
state of affairs will prevent many here from going
north, to their great chagrin and disappointment.i
The General and Admiral are hourly expected from
Hong Kong, when it will be decided. Most of the
other troops have already departed."
The reinforcements for the 73d Regiment, to the
number of 259 non-commissioned officers and men,
were drawn up on the parade-ground at Chatham
Barracks yesterday morning, where they were in-
spected by Major-Gen. Eyre, accompanied by his
Aide-de-Camp, Lieut.-Col. Gordon. The troops com-
posing the detachment are generally a very fine
body of men, and will prove a valuable addi-
tion to the service companies, which have
fallen very much below their proper strength by
T3llOOll of sin arnngh ts havin2 been despatched from
the depot for some time, it having been generally
understood that the regiment, which has been 15
years in India, was on the eve of returning home.
The • order, however, for its return has been
countermanded for the present, and it is now uncer-
tain when the head quarters will leave India. The
reinforcements will embark at Gravesend on Satur-
day next, in the Gosforth.

ON TRUE and FALSE SPERMATORRHCEA ;
with the View to the Correction of wide-spread Errors
in relation to the Treatment and Cure of Sufferers from De-
bility of the Generative system, or Sexual Hypochrondriasis.

Translated from the German of Dr. PICKFORD.
" Dr. Pickford is known to English readers by his frequent
practical contributions to German medical literature. This
is the first time, he informs us, that he has addressed himself
to the non-medical reader. We trust that this may not be the
last, if he shall detect any other equally flagrant evil which it
may be in his power to correct."—London Medical Gazette.
" The editor has conferred a great boon on the sufferers
from this distressing malady by translating this little book,
and by laying bare the scandalous practices of unqualified
adventurers, who profess to cure a disease of which they
know nothing, with no other object than to fill their own
purses. The difference between true Spermatorrhcea and the
various forms of disease which resemble it are accurately de-
scribed, and thus a safe guide is offered for the treatment of
the malady."—Medical Circular.
" We have dilated so long upon the contents of the preli-
minary chapter, that we have scarcely left ourselves space for
any notice of the subject specially treated of by Dr. Pickford ;
but the moderate price at which the 'brochure' is sold, places
it within the reach of every one interested in the matter."—

PROCEEDINGS IN THE HOUSE OF LORDS.
Mr. MELLOR gave notice that, on the motion for ad-
journment on Friday, he would draw the attention of hon.
members to the refusal of the House of Lords to entertain
a bill relating to savings banks and benefit societies, and also
to the power they exercised of limiting and prescribing the
time for the consideration of bills sent from that house.

sad get, and, as there is no disputing his authority, 1
it may be as well to hear what he says through the
congenial columns of the Cork, Examiner :
" Don't believe anything that Cronin or any of
those who went home say, for they know no more
of how we were treated than you do, as they did not
enter the Papal States at all. They stopped back
in Trieste. They got terrified when they heard the
people, as we went along, speaking of Garibaldi,
and how he would kill us all. When they heard that
he had 60,000 men, they thought that the moment
they would be landed on Italian soil they would be
eaten up by his party, and so they are no better than
traitors, and don't deserve speaking to at all. lam
sorry to say we have 200 more cowardly ruffians
among us who are also crying for home. 100 of them
went back on Wednesday, and the remainder expect
to go this week. They are in prison, and getting no
pay, and are despised by all the men. lam sorry to
say that we have among them Pat Donovan and
Denny Lynch from the Sand Quay. The reason of
their going home is—there was a report here that
the Major said we should go in four weeks and take
the Romagnas, and upon this they all hised' their
sails and cried for home. They have proved them-
selves to be cowards, and worse than that, traitors
to their religion, for that was the cause they game
on. I suppose Donovan will have a great deal of
stories to tell when he gets home, but believe only
what you like of them. The food we get is good
enough, and fit for any man ; but they thought
when they came out they' would be made gentle-
men. I must admit the pay is small. It is 3d. a
day clearance,' but 3d. here put to its own use is
equal to 9d. at home. We are to receive £6 bounty,
L 2 of which will be kept back until we are going
home

IRISH BANK RETURNS.

The last return of the Irish banks of issue exhibit
a falling off in the circulation, as compared with the
previous return, of £210,000, which, added to the
reductions which have previously taken place, makes
a contraction in the circulation during the quarter
of £500,000, and during the half-year of £1,000,000.
The reduction on the month differs but little from
that of last year ; but if the comparison is extended
fUrther the decline is much more considerable than
what it then was. From February to May there
is usually an increase, while this year there was a
great diminution. In the coin held there is an in-
crease on the month of £50,000, and a decrease on
the half-year of £350,000.

RAILWAY COLLISION AT BLUEPITS.

On Monday night, about a quarter before eleven
o'clock, an alarming accident occurred at Bluepits,
on the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway ; but,
from the inquiries we have made, we learn that no
person was seriously injured.
A train of 22 carriages, with about 600 ex-
cursionists, composed of the Miles Platting work-
people of the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway
Company, was returning from Liverpool, and
on passing over the fork at Bluepits, the driver
received the signal from the pointsman that all
was right. The train, consequently, proceeded in
due course to the main line ; but whilst about
nine of the hinder carriages were still crossing
the rails of the main line, the 10.15 p.m. mail
train from Manchester to Yorkshire came up at
such a speed as not tq be able to pull up before a
collision had occurred. Two of the carriages of
the excursion train were thrown off the line by the
shock, and much damaged ; and many of the pas-
sengers were hurt. The medical men of the dis-
trict were mien. in attendance upon the sufferers,
but it was found that all were able to proceed to
their homes. Every attention, we are told, was
paid to those who were in any way injured. The
passengers in the 10 15 train were not affected by
the accident. The line was clear again after a delay
of three hours.
From another source we learn that six of the
carriages were thrown off the line ; and that an
hour and a half elapsed before medical men ar-
rived. Also, that much incivility was experienced
by the excursionists from the porters at the Blue-
pits Station.
The following are the names of the persons who
were hurt :
Isaac Allmon, Moore street, Rochdale road, Man-
chester.
Mrs. Watson, Watmore street, Garratt street,
Manchester.
Ann Black, Every street, Manchester.
Mary Birkenshaw, Garratt street, Oldham-road,
Manchester.
Samuel Edwards, Edward street, Manchester.
Ellen Catterall, Hannah street, Manchester.
John Luckman, Miles Platting.
Jane Richardson, Hamilton street, Manchester.
William Greaves, Rochdale road, Manchester.
James Aspinall, Gaylor street, Oldham road, Man
chester.
Mr. Luckman sustained a fracture of the arm
The injuries of the other persons are less serious.
The cause of the accident will be strictly in-
quired into. It appears at present to have been
the fault of the driver of the 10.15 train, who is
said to have disregarded the signal ; but, on the
other hand, there are some who say the signal was
not shown, in which case the pointsman will be
blameable.

THE ➢iURDERS AT WALWORTH.

Mr. Best, the counsel retained for the defence of the Pe'
sonor Wm. Godfrey Youngman, said he foind the case oil
the list for that morning, but as he had only received 0
brief last evening, he hoped the trial would be postponed
until to-morrow morning.
The application was granted, and the trial was ordered
to be placed first on the list. ,

ALLEGED CHILD MURDER.
Sophia Payne was indicted for wilfully causing
of her infant child. the death

The prisoner, who was undefended, pleaded not guilty.
It will be recollected that the death of the child was
caused through the want of proper nourishment, but there
was great doubt whether the prisoner had the means of
providing for the necessary wants of the child.
The counsel for the prosecution said he did not intend to
offer any evidence in this case, as be found so innelt
doubt existed whether the death of the child bad been vril"
fully caused. The prisoner, it appeared, had obtained 14
very hard living by making slep work, and although she,
had not shown all that kindness a mother usually exhibited
for her infant, he did not think a felonious intent could b 0
proved against her.
A verdict of not guilty was then returned, and the Pri4
sonar was discharged.

ATTEMPTING TO DROWN A CHILD.
Elizabeth Wicksteed was indicted for feloniously st'
tempting to drown her illegitimate child.
The facts of the case were that tho prison.- resided
Lambeth, and is returning home in a state of intoziati/
on the sth of July, the prisoner commenced ill-u.sine,
child. She was remonstrated with, when she deliberately
threw it on the floor twice, and then proceeded to the 99', 7,
of the house when she threw it into the water-butt, frt;
whence it was rescued by a young man, who witnessed W
act. The butt was three-parts full, and quite suffl t.oieut

BELGIUM AND CHINA.

The Belgian Moniteur publishes at the head of
its official columns the following document, styled
" Official Communication addressed by the Com-
missary for Foreign Affairs of China to the Belgian
Agent sent to that country :"
[Translation.]

"Ho Kwie-Tsing, Commissary for Foreign
Affairs and Governor-General of the Two Kiangs,
&c., sends the following despatch in reply t—
," On the 18th of October of the present year I
received your despatch, which contained the copy of
a despatch received from Key-ing, the former Com-
missary for Foreign Affairs, and I have read them
carefully.
" I find, on investigation, that not long since I
received a despatch from Laon, Governor-General
of the Two Kiangs, and from Hang, Superinten-
dent of Customs at Canton, with collies of de-
spatches relative to the affairs e Belgium,
which informed me that during the 25th year
of Taou-kwang (1845), Key-ing and Kwanggan-
Tang, Commissaries for Foreign Affairs, have,
in a report, proposed to his Majesty to allow
Belgian merchants to trade with the five
ports, that his Majesty granted that permission,
that thereupon the Commissaries provided the Bel-
gian Consul with copies of the British, French, and
American treaties and tariffs, as a guide to Belgian
commerce in the five ports, and that no commercial
regulation was agreed upon during the 4th year of
Ilien-Fung (the present Emperor).
" Belgian merchants, therefore, must conform
for the present to the arrangement agreed upon
during the 25th year of Taou-kwang (1845). And
it is enregistered that I wrote to that intent to the
superintendent of the districts of Soochen, Sung-
keen, and Tae-Toung, at Shanghai, charging him
to notify the same to the Consul at Shanghai, for
the guidance of Belgian merchants.
" As regards the new ports, although the Ame-
rican Minister has exchanged the American treaty,
nevertheless, neither that treaty nor the regulations
nor the tariff have come into force.
" The English and French Ministers not having
regulated their treaties, it will be necessary for the
Belgian Government to wait until the treaties of
all the three Governments have been settled in a
satisfactory manner, and the new ports thrown
open ; then I will address myself to his Majesty
respecting your country, that the same privileges
ilaay be granted to you as are granted to them.
Meantime, I have to request that your mer-
chants.will trade at the five ports conformably to
the regulations established during the 23th year of
Taou-kwang (1845). When it shall have pleased
his Majesty to grant additional privileges to your
