"' Monsieur le 11.1arechal,--It was egreed. be-
tween General Grant and myself to proceed to
Yuen-ming-Yuen, the summer residence which the
Emperor always occupies, four leagues north of
Pekin.

" ' This country is so cut up by roads, thickets,
&c., that General Grant and his army lost their
way, and I arrived alone, in the evening, in front
of the Palace, which was in charge of a Tartar
guard.
" Despite a long and fatiguing march I ordered
the Palace td be occupied at seven o'clock in the
evening, and forcing an entrance I had two officers
and two soldiers wounded. The Tartars evacuated
the Palace entrusted to their care and lost some
men, one inferior mandarin being killed in the
courtyard. I ordered the Palace to be occupied,
and went there myself early next morning. It is
impossible, M. le Marechal, for me to describe to
you the wonders of this Im'perial habitation. No-
thing in Europe can convey an idea of such luxury.
I shall not attempt to describe its splendours in
these hasty lines. I shall have the honour to
write to your Excellency at great length by next
mail to give you a full description.
" I placed strong posts at all the outlets of the
Palace, so that nothing might be disturbed until
our allies arrived, to whom I immediately sent in-
formation. A few hours afterwards they arrived,
and a portion of their cavalry having joined my
column I appointed two English and two French
officers to see that nothing was touched, and that
the two armies should conjointly exercise a strict
control.

" ' General Grant and Lord tlgin having arrived
we appointed three commissioners of each nation
to make a division of the most precious objects. In
this division I recommended our commissioners to
select only objects of value for the sake of art or
antiquity ; I hope to send to your Excellency, for
his Majesty the Emperor, and for the great collec-
tions of the Government, or for the Museum of
Artillery, some rare curiosities for France.
" am at present awaiting the arrival of Baron
Gros, who is to join me here, Lord Elgin being here
already. A sort of convention has taken place be-
tween Prince Hung, Regent of the Empire, and the
English General, in the name of the two Generals-
in-Chief.

" had consented to an armistice that Prince
Hung might come to Pekin to treat; he has gone
some eight leagues off, and the Emperor is in
Tartary.
" ' I beg of you, M. le Marechal, to excuse the
style of this letter, which I write hastily; I shall
remain here to-morrow, and even until Pekin is
occupied by force or otherwise, and I shall then
have the honour of sending you a full official report.
" I I remain, &c.,

way. Ripa complained that in his days the mis-
sionaries made no converts because their garments
were made of the richest materials ; because they
went nowhere on foot, but always in sedans, on
horseback, or in boats, and with a lar,;e retinue of
attendants following them; and because none of
them had been able to surmount t'ae language so
as to make himself understood by the people at
large. We are sure that the pious Crusaders would
not wish to reproduce such a state of languor in
the Missionary Church as this. Let them not
therefore take too many lands, at least to begin
with. And so we wish our allies God speed with
their new gains, only begging them so to use them
that they may not breed a new China war.— Tzwes.

ON TRUE sigAFALSE SPERIVIATORRHCEA;
with the V 1 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
the'firstis time, he informs us, that he has addressed literature. This
himself
to the non-medical reader. We trust that this may not be thel
last, if he shall detect any other equally flagrant evil which it
may be in his power to correct." —London edical 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 It disease of which they
blow 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."—

throughout the Empire will be restored to them
through the medium of the Minister of France.

" A Te Deum' and the Domine Salvum' were
sung on the 29th of October in the Cathedral of
Pekin, after the restoration on the summit of that
edifice of the cross which was formerly there."
The lifoniteur also publishes the following :

" Certain organs of the English press persist with
the most inexplicable obstinacy in entertaining
their readers with accounts of fabulous spoil with
which every French soldier will return after the
pretended sack of the Imperial Palace of Pekin.
The (Illy reply we can give is to publish textually
a letter written by General de Montauban to his
Excellency the Mar...,hal, Minister of War, dated
the Bth of October. It will be remembered that
the Ambassadors of France and of England entered
Pekin on the 22d of October, and that peace was

" ' H EAD-QUARTERS BEFORE PEKIN,
London, England, 1860-12-22

II ER MAJESTY'S THEATRE.

The first pantomime that has ever been produced on this
stage has been written by*Mr. E. L. Blanchard, expressly
to e.raploy the vast operatic and choregraphic resources of
t'ais establishMent, and, founded upon the familiar old
English story of that name, is entitled " Harlequin and
Tom Thumb ; or, Merlin the Magician, and the Good
Fairies of the Court of King Arthur." The miniature
hero, personated by Miss Lilla Ross, goes through all the
traditionary adventures recorded in the memorable nar-
rative, gets brought out of a magic album by the art of
the great wizard of the northern climes, shaken up in a
bag of cherry stones, tied up in a batter pudding, swallowed
by a great red cow, further absorbed into the system
of the giant Hurlothrumbo, is devoured by a salmon,
and finally brought before the table of the great King
Arthur, by whom he is knighted, and who appoints him a
residence in the palatial mousetrap, whence he sallies forth
on the expedition that leads to his legendary fate. Here,
however, the good fairy interposes, and he is transformed
into Harlequin, whilst the rest of the principal characters
undergo the usual magical metamorphosis. The celebrated
Lauri Family support the humours of the harlequinade,
and the ballet and the choral departments figure conspi-
cuously in the opening. Mr. Williamßeverleyhas invented
some most effective scenic contrivances for the embellishment
or the opening; and Mr. Tully, by original music, has given
some striking features to the vocal illustrations ; the masks
and characteristic costumes by Dykwynkyn, the expenditure
which has been gone to by the lessee, Mr. E. T. Smith, and
the exertions made by the other artists engaged to develop
the design of the author, will doubtless secure for the bur-
lesque ballet pantomime thus arranged all the additional
advantages of adeqr.ate illustration, besides that to be de-
rived from the r:ovelty of such an entertainment in such
an aristocratic region.

APPEAL-JUDGMENT.-AUNT V. ELME&

This was a competition between a mortgagee and a pur-
chaser without notice of the mortgage arising out of
Hughe, the solicitor, fraudulently concealing the mort-
gage on property at Stratford, Essex.
Lord Justice Knight Bruce and Lord Justice Turner
were of opinion that the mortgagee N. £l,OOO was prefer-
able to the subsequent purchaser, and varied the decree of
the Master of the Rolls, in so far as it ordered the defendant
to deliver up the title deeds of the property.

(Before Mr. Kerr.)
BETT V. WEIR-A LONG JUDGMENT.

This was a judgment summons, and Mr. Salter, for the
plaintiff, said that as long ago as 1852 a judgment sum-
mons had been issued against defendant in the Marylebone
County Court. That was not put in force because plaintiff
and the officers could not catch defendant.
His Honour—This is a very long time ago.
Mr. Salter—By permission of your Honour, under the
110th rule, the present summons has been issued.
Mr. Buchanan-1 appear for defendant. It is for the
plaintiff to prove that defendant has means.
Mr. Salter—Ho is in receipt of a salary.
Mr. Buchanan—He gets a job now and then.
His Honour—l will make an order of committal for ten
days.

The cause is there predicated of the monetary difficulties ex

LIVERPOOL—Oar. 9.

There was a fair attendance of both town and country

mand for wheat and flour, which may be quoted at about
2d per cental decline on wheat, and 6d per sack and barrel
on flour, with a retail business. In Indian corn there was
rather Jess business doing at easier rates. Barley, beans,
and peas in request, and brought fully late rates. New
oats and oatmeal is to is 6d per load lower.

,HOP INTELLIGENCE.

KENT.—The hop picking in most places in this
county will be brought to an end by the close of
the week. Many planters have already finished;
and a considerable number of grounds will not be
picked at all, there being a certainty that they
would not pay for the labour. We are informed,
indeed, that a portion of the hops which have
been dried and sent to market are almost
worthless, rubbing to dust if pressed between the
fingers, and wholly unfit for the use of the brewer,
so that the factors will not undertake to dis-
pose of them. This is especially the case with
the Goldings, which seem this season to have suf-
fered more than any other kinds. There are one
or two districts, however, which are stated to
have produced some good samples, though these are
exceptions to the prevailing rule this year every-
where. In Sussex and Surrey the picking gene-
rally is nearly completed, and the complaint is
general that the quantity has by no means come up
to the low estimate which was formed of the yield
while the poles were still standing. In Worcester
the picking is now carried on as rapidly as possible,
but the complaints are general that the new growth
weigh lighter than was expected, Duty called
£2,000 or £3,ooo.—South Eastern Gazette.
SUSSEX.—Nothing could be more favourable for
the hop-picking than the weather of the past week,
and great progress has been everywhere made.
The yield, however, seems in many .cases to fall
short of expectation, though as a rule the hops weigh
well—nay, better than was anticipated. In some
parishes there are fortunate exceptions to the
general rule, and good crops (considering the
season) are being secured. On the whole, how-
ever, the crop is a decided failure, and a grievous
disappointment. What aggravates the mischief is
that the planters have not—as is the case with
other producers—reaped any advantage from the
last few consecutive years of abundance. Large
crops have not brought them large profits ofripl ro-
portionate remuneration. Heavy crops. o ops
have simply induced extremely low prices and
outrageously heavy duties, the arrears of which
lastare at this moment pressing most onerously
upon the growers— vssex drerliser.

ALLEGED " NORTARA" CASE AT
TVA R WICK.

On Saturday evening last some hundreds of
people assembled in front of the residence of Mr.
Norman, chemist and druggist, of Smith•street,
Warwick, in consequence of a man named George
Gates creating a great disturbance about Ann Gates, 1
his daughter, who had been in the service of the
former for some few months. It appeared that
Mr. Norman was a Catholic, and Gates's daughter,
who was between 15 and 16 years of age, having
left him, Gates was under the impression that she
had been sent to a convent.
On Monday Mr. Norman applied to the Warwick
bench for a summons against Gates, consdaented.

The letter concluded by some allusion to a favourite
cat and jackdaw, and was written in a good hand.
Gates acknowledged that the letter was in his
daughter's handwriting, and on being told that
the case would be adjourned for a week he used
a host of invectives against the Catholic religion,
as being a most " disgusting " religion, and he
feared his daughter would be ruined in the mean-
time. Mr. Greves, solicitor, of Stratford, who
happened to be in court, said, " I think you know
nothing about it." Some" excitement will attend
the hearing of the case on Alonday next, as the
clergy arc said to have taken the matter in hand.
