THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY ‘, EVENING, DECEMBER 15, 1860.

city, and Sir Hope Grant pushed on towards the
position we now occupy. On his way he saw a con-
siderable body of cavalry failing back before him,
but did not get up to them, as he had wily infantry
1 with him, and the cavalry were away on the right.
1 About the same time.the sent a message to the French
I General, saying that he Was moving forward some-
what to the right, and asking him to follow and do
the same. General de Montauban went more de-
cidedly to the right than was intended, crossed the
rear of our army, and, after marching till 7 at night,
always under the impression that he was behind us,
came suddenly on the Emperor's great summer
palace of Yuen-Ming-Yuen, some of the principal
buildings of Which be immediately occupied after a
trifling resistance. He found it entirely abandoned,
except by about 400 eunuchs, who attempted no
resistance, and were made prisoners.
Meanwhile, Sir Hope Grant, with the two infan-
try divisions, came upon a small picket of Tartars in
a Tillage situate just outside the gap in the intrench-
ment through which the great northern road runs,,
which leads from the North Gate up into Tartary;
They were soon driven in, and joining a larger body
of horsemen, retired along the road towards the City
Gate. The army then encamped just inside the
northern earthwork intrenchment already alluded
to, it being evident that there was no enemy left
outside the city, at all events on the north side.
There was some speculation during the afternoon
(we reached this place as early as 1 o'clock) as to
what could possibly have become of the French and
our own cavalry, neither of whom had made their
appearance ; bat when night came on, and there
was still no sign of them, a pretty correct guess
was made as to their whereabouts, and it turned out
afterwards that the cavalry, as well as the French,
had come up to the Summer Palace, and bivouacked
for the night in its neighbourhood.
During the same afternoon, Major Greathed, of
the Bengal Engineers, A.D.C. to Sir R. Napier,
made a reconnaissance, accompanied by a small party
of infantry, and succeeded in getting within 180
yards of the North-gate,an d 80 yards of the wall more
to the eastward. He found the former closed, and
people in the inside evidently on the alert, though
they did not fire on him. He then went round by
the suburbs to get a good sight of the wall and
ditch in which he was quite successful. He de-
scribes the wall as about 40 feet high, of which '
about eight would be knocked off by the first fire,
and the ditch as being apparently quite dry. It
could be quite possible to bring the heavy guns up
under cover to within 100 yards of the wall.
The next morning Wade received a letter from
Parkes dated the day before, at three o'clock in the
afternoon, enclosed in one from the Prince of
Kung, written from the Palace of Yuen-Ning-Yuen,
which he had only just time to escape from before
the arrival of the French, which gave us the
welcome news that the authorities had at last made
up their minds to release all those confined in Pekin
the next day but one, so that we might then look
for them the very next day. Wade immediately
arranged to have an interview with Hang-ke, who
is now one of the Ministers of the Household and
Assistant-Commissioner with the Prince of
Kong, in order that he might let him know
what the Commanders-in-Cnief proposed as
reaartiett-Pekin, and ascertain what probability
there was of having the prisoners not in Pekin sent
in as well as the others. Hang-ke, when first
informed that it was a sine qua non that one of the
gates of Pekin should be put in possession of the
allied troops, affected to say it was a thing not to
be thought of, but he soon calmed down and ended
by saying he thought it was a thing which after all
it might be possible to agree it. The negotiation
respecting this is not entirely concluded at the time
I am writing this, but I feel no doubt from what I
hear that the point will be yielded and the gate given
up. Respecting the prisoners not in Pekin, he had„
for the reasons I have already explained in a former ,
part of this letter, some difficulty in giving a .posi-
tive undertaking that they should be given up, but.
he promised that he would do his best, and to-day
he expressed HE firm belief that before three days
had passed we should see them all here. As he
has kept perfect faith in all respects with Parkes,
I have no doubt it will be as he says.

He expressed great concern at the occupation of
the Emperor's 'palace, and the way in which it had
been pillaged in the first instance by the French
alone, and subsequently with the consent of both
commanders. This seemed, indeed, to have pro-
duced a greater impression on him than any other
event that had occurred during the war. The
looting of it has undoubtedly been most com-
plete ; the French officers made scarcely an effort
to prevent the most indiscriminate destruction.
The English have certainly succeeded in getting
a large amount of valuables, and I:am told nearly
£20,000 of treasure set apart for division in cer-
tain proportions among the army at large—so far
the one body have behaved better than the other,
but when this is said all is said that 'can be urged
in favour of any in connection with the terrible
mismanagement that seems to have guided
every step taken in reference to the occupa-
tion, destruction, and abandonment of what was,
four days ago, by far the most magnificent series of
edifices in China, and certainly one of the most
remarkable sights I ever saw. I cannot
attempt to give any account of it in this letter but
may possibly do so on some future occasion.
I have made the summary of our proceedings
since last mail so much larger than I anticipated
that I fear I must abridge more than I could have
wished the account I have received from the late
prisoners of the way in which they were taken and
of their treatment by the Chinese during their con-
finement. Until the return of .Parkes and Loch
yesterday we were in entire ignorance on both these
points except to the extent that we had been able
to extract most unsatisfactory and unreliable infor-
mation from the Chinese authorities at Tung-chau
who invariably protested, and I am now disposed to
think truly enough, that they really could not tell
us what we wished to know, for the best of all rea-
sons, that they did not know it themselves.

It appears that when Loch, accompanied by Capt.
Brabazon of the Artillery and two Sowars, with a '
flag of truce, started on the morning of the 18th
for Tung chau to desire Parkes and the other Eng-
lishmen then there to return at once to Head
Quarters, they reached that town without encoun-
tering any difficulty, except in passing through the
Tartar lines, which was soon got over, and found,
on arriving at the Temple, where Parkes, Loch, and
the others had spent the night, that the former had,
on his return to Tung-chau, desired the Sowars to
be ready to start at a moment's notice, and left
a note for De Norman and Bowlby, who had
gone out for a walk, to wait his return ; after doing
which he proceeded in search of the Prince of I and
his fellow Commissioners. He had some difficulty
in finding them, but at last, with the assistance
of the Prefect, he did discover where they were.
On inquiring of the Prince whether he was aware
of what was likely to occur on the other side of
Chan-keia-wan if the Chinese army remained where
it was, and v. hether it was by his instructions or
with his knowledge they ever occupied the
position they did ; he answered him in a half
Jeering, half insolent tone, very different from any
that he had hitherto used in the conversations they
had had together, reminding him that one point
had always remained unsettled, vie., that as to
whether Lord Elgin should have an audience with
the Emperor or not. Parkes replied that this was
not one of the points involving war, peace or and
have never been so considered, having always been
looked on as one which could be reserved for discus-
sion after the more important points had been agreed
to ; that the Prince must have quite understood
this the day • before ; and he again asked him
what he meant to do ? The Prince again replied in
the sane tone as before, and after some further
discussion, leading to no result, •P4rkes left him with
the firm conviction on his mind that the whole was
a preconceived plan between the• Prince and, Sang-
ko lin-sin Consequent upon their having made up

either flank of their small force, blowing their
matches, and prepared to fire. As the pace at
which they were then going looked very much
as if they were running away, which they did not
wish to be supposed the case, as they had a flag of
truce, they slackened their pace to consult as to
what they should do. They were immediately al-
most surrounded by troops, and told civilly enough
that they could not be allowed to pass, as the action
had begun, without having the express permission
of the General. In reply to a question from Parkes
they said he was close by, and they thought it better
before making an attempt to cut their way through
to see if they could not obtain permission to pass out.
Accordingly Parkes, Loch, and one of Probyn's
Sowars, carrying the flag of truce, went to see the
General, telling the others that
they would be soon
back.

MONEY MARKET AND CITY NEW.

CITY, Two o'CLocK.

The Bank of England return, completed to 12th
Decetnber, is of—a, rather', satisfactory—character.
The extensive shipments of coin to the United
States, however, has caused a diminution in the
stock of the precious metals of nearly a quarter of
a million ; a favourable feature, however, is a small
reduction in the other securities, while the reserve
of notes has continued at a steady point. There is
a large increase in the public deposits, and the
private deposits consequently share a diminution.
An addition of £50,000 has also been made to the
Government Securities. In the other items of the
balance sheet there is no change of importance—
they will be seen in the subjoined table:—

About £BO,OOO in gold was sent into the Bank of
England yesterday, but 120,000 sovereigns were
withdrawn for America.

It was announced yesterday. that Messrs. Holds-
worth and Co., sugar refiners, had suspended. The

CHRISTMAS PLEA6URES.—Meantime, every day
is full of pleasures, which we enjoy through the bright
faces which are about us.: There are not a few which
please our own taste also. -.We like going into the woods
for hollyrend. finding mistletoe ~for ourselves, instead of
icondeseending to...buy it. .•We like,. burning fir ones, and
cheosing the .greenestinasses of •moss for cushion,ing the
pots of bulbs at home. We are never tired of the icicles
which glitter everywhere; and on Christmas-day we help
to count the kinds of flowers in bloom within our own gates.
Once, I remember, we found among us, 33 kinds. I had
rather find fewer, for I like a seasonable Christmas; and
when ono can make a bouquet of 33 diverse blooms one might
alniost aswell be passing Christmas-day in Australia, fanning
one's self, and sipping cooling cordials. On tie whole, I
believe we relish the Waits. Their music is very bad, cer-
tainly; but there is something moving in the associations
of a lifetime, awakened in the darkness and silence of night,
and seizing upon us in the impressionable moment of
waking from sleep. I own that, even now, that music plays
upon my heartstrings.—Once a Week.
TUE NEW WINE DUTIES.—The Commissioners
of Customs have issued a minute on the subject of the mode
of assessing the altered duties on wines, and the regulation
to be observed en their importation after the Ist of January
next; which is' to the effect that wines may be warehoused,
or entered for exportation, without the rate of duty to
which they are liable being first ascertained ; the duties on
those intended for home consumption, or to be removed to
the outports, are to be ascertained by testing the contents
of one cask in eight (should there be so many in the parcel)
by distillation, and these are to be recorded in the official
document under separate heads, as follows :—Class A—
wirwsoptaining less than 18 degrees of proof spirits ; B—
wines under 20. degrees ; C—wines under 40 degrees -,, 0—
wines under 45 degrees ;—wines containing 45, pee cent,
and upwards of proof spirits will be conaiaered
