The Neptune, 91, screw steamship, in the steam

The Vulcan, screw steam iron troopship, got up

CHINA.

We take the following from the Overland Friend
of China of the 23d April :
"Political news in this quarter is as scanty as it
was when we last wrote—we have hardly an inci-
dent of importance to refer to ; and but for the
hourly looked-for arrival of the Minister to Pekin,
and other high functionaries, we see no prospect of
a stir in the stagnation.
" Consequent on the rumoured nearness of the
insurgents, the Allied Commanders at Canton have
issued the following notice, or rather this is our
native reporter's rendering of it—
"'Whereas our two nations have made a treaty with
China and we are desirous of doing all we can to help the
inhabitants of the Great Central Kingdom, recently, the
Excellency Pepqui, the Lieutenant Governor, has repre-
sented to us the inability of the people to defend themselves
against robbers who have daringly entered the 'city, and
has requested us to allow the constable and watchmen to
take back the arms which were compared by us last year.
Loving the people as we do, there can be no objection to so
reasonable a request ; and we readily comply with it. Be
it known, therefore, that all who require' arms can obtain
them, and so may the whole region be protected in peace
and happiness.

ELECTRICAL INFLUENCE IN HEALTH AND
DISEASE.

Just Published, price ls., free by Post for Fourteen Stamps,
ECOND LIFE : or ELECTRICAL NERVOUS
FORCE ; a MEDICAL WORK, intended for the special
perusal of all who are suffering from the various fbrms of

NERVOUS and PHYSICAL DEBILITY,
and the distress-
ine; ulterior consequences to which they lead ; with practical
Observations on the great Curative power of ELECTRO-
GALVANISM in the treatment of these Disorders, by infus-
ing tone and vigour in constitutions relaxed or debilitated
from various enervating causes. Illustrated with Cases com-
piled from the Note-book of a Registered Medical Practi-
tioner of twenty years' standing.
Unlike many vaunted restoratives, Electricity is one which
commends itself to the medical man as being accordant with
the soundest teachings of physiology. By the most obvious
indication it admits of being shown that the Electrical and
Nervous energies are identical ; hence, that when the latter
fails, the former can take its place, and that when, from irre-
gularities of any kind, the nervous system has become debili-
tated, paralysed, or exhausted, and the patient brought to a
condition little short of total prostration, then by the action
of Electricity, imparting certainty and efficacy to medical
treatment, he can ba re-invigorated, and his health re-esta-
blished to a degree almost warranting the designation of
SECOND LIFE.

a level race for a quarter of a mile, when the winners took
the lead, which they held all the way ; Yellow, Pink, and
Green rowed a fine neck-and-neck race to the Crabtree,
when Yellow and Pink accidentally fouled, and Pink had
their rowlocks broken ; Yellow eventually came in second,

were afterwards presented in a neat speech by Mr. Isles,

THEATRE WINE AND SPIRIT
LICENSES.

Yesterday a meeting of the proprietors and
lessees of the metropolitan theatres took place at
the new Adelphi Theatre, Benjamin Webster, Esq.,
in the chair, for the purpose of taking into con-
sideration and making arrangements to carry into
immediate effect the new wine and spirit licenses
granted to the above theatres.
Mr. WEBSTER read to the meeting a copy of the
memorial presented by Mr. Wm. Heritage to the
Lords of the Treasury in November last, on behalf
of the managers, praying that such licences might
be granted pursuant to the sth and 6th William
IV., cap. 39 ; and also read their lordships' reply,
dated the 30th May last, acquiescing in the prayer
of the memorial.

--
There were present, Messrs. Creswick, Shepherd,
Douglass, Wm. Cooke, C. James, Nelson Lee' and'
Swanborough, all of whom expressed their high'
satisfaction at the success obtained by Mr. Hen-
tage, and passed a vote of thanks to that.gentle-
man for the satisfactory manner in which he had;
conducted the whole proceedings.
Mr. SHEPHERD observed that a more substantial
mark of appreciation should be offered than a vote
of thanks, which remark was cordially responded
to by all present, and Mr. Heritage was, indepen-
dent of this, instructed to obtain the licences in
question.
The business of the meeting terminated with a
vote of thanks to the chairman.

while attributing the chief merit of the victory of
Magenta to General (now Marshal) de M'Mahon,
calls him an Irishman. The illustrious Marshal is

thing. It is more than a hundred years since his
great grandfather, himself a Frenchman, settled in
Burgundy. After Pelissier had taken theMalakhoff,
our Irish friends claimed him as a countryman, in

gallant M'Mahon would not thank any one for
attempting to pass him off for anything else than
what he is—a Frenchman to the backbone.

THE FRENCH TROOPS IN TUSCANY,

. .
French troops pour into Tuscany in great num-
bers. .At the moment I am now writing two fine
batteries, just coming in. are rattling and tramping
under my window, men and horses all decked with
flowers and laurel wreaths lavished by the people's
hands ; the soldiers shouting, singing, and one
of them, seated on a caisson, accompanying the
chorus of his comrades with that most unwarlike of
instruments, a .fiddle. Two such batteries I saw
last evening at the Cascine, where hardly less than
10,000 men were encamped in the various fields
about the promenade. That, encampment is no bad
image of a gay, dancing, prancing, rollicking war-
holyday ; everything looks so green and fresh,
every horse so sound and in suuh capital condition,
every man's countenance so beautifully bronzed
with health, every skin so whole. Imagine a green
field with eight
.or ten thousand men, and five or
six hundred horses, encamped, •with tents, arms,
and accoutrements, and all the appurtenances-Of
life, in the open air; the mencooking, bivouacking,
dining, sleeping, drilling, playing—engaged, in
short, in all pursuits that duty imposes, or free-
will, whim, and pleasure,suggests. Imagine, I say,
this camp, in all this show and dishabille, invaded
by fifty or sixty thousand men, women, and chil-
dren, from the high-dressed court lady in her chariot
dispensing' smiles and cigars to_ the liberators of
Italy, to the tattered mendicant and vagabond,
hobbling after the smoking soldier, with a• hope to
come in for the stump of the cigars aforesaid. Pity
the scene should have come to change so sadly in a
few days !----that we should have to think of way-
worn feet, crowded ambulances, corps.strewnbattle-
fields ! But, On nefait pas d'ornelete sans casser dEs
wars, and a man may come to a worse end than a
soldier's death.

Dl. BENEDICT'S ANNUAL CONCERT.

We see that M. Benedict's annual concert will be given
next Wednesday morning at St. James's Hall, and, if pos-
sible, he offers greater attractions than usual to his nume-
rous patrons and admirers. When we mention the fol-
lowing artistes as forming a portion of his "assistants," wa
think a tolerable estimate may be arrived at as to the high
class character of the entertainment :—Mademoiselles
Guarducci, Sarolta, and Victoire Balfe ; Madame Catherine
Hayes ; Signori Mongini, Corsi, and I. Graziani ; Herr
Reichardt, and Mr. Santley. Pianoforte, Miss Arabella
Goddard and M. Benedict ; violin, Herr Joachim ; and
violoncello, M.Paque, will variously illustrate the soundest
and most classical music, and a great treat may be antici-
pated, both instrumentally and vocally. M. Benedict is
universally held in eulogistic consideration, not only as a
gifted composer, but as a most efficient and skilful leader,
and we may safely predict that he will be greeted on this
especial occasion by a brilliant, crowded; and appreciative
audience.

Although it is not definitely settled on which
day the Court will arrive at Windsor for the Ascot race
week, orders have been received at the Castle to prepare for
the reception of the Court on Tuesday next, the first day of
the races.

MYSTERY, CAPTAIN MATIMWS,
WITH EMIGRANTS TO CANTERBURY, NEW ZEALAND.--
This ship Owned by Mr. J. K. Welsh, and despatched by
Messrs. Willis and Co , has made the rapid passage of
85 days, and landed 300 passengers safely. During the
voyage fifteen deaths occurred, entirely amongst the chil-
dren, and five births. Unfounded rumours of numerous
deaths having been circulated on thish p leaving the
to s
Channel, and thereby causing alarm friends,
,the earliest
authentic contradiction is now given. In the New Zealand
papers every expression of gratitude is recorded by all the
emigrants for the great care and kindness of Captain
Mathews during the voyage. •

MARSHAL DE M‘MAHON.

The Paris correspondent of a contemporary,
while attributing the chief merit of the victory of
Magenta to General (now Marshal) de M'Mahon,
calls him an Irishman. The illustrious Marshal is
not, and never was, an Irishman. True, he descends
from an Irish family ; but that is quite another
thing. It is more than a hundred years sinoe his
great grandfather, himself a Frenchman, settled in
Burgundy. After Pelissier had taken theMalakhoff,
our Irish friends claimed him as a countryman, in
the same way and with just as much ground. The
gallant M‘Mahon would not thank. any one for
attempting to pass him off for anything else than
what he, is—a Frenchman to the backbone.

CHINA.

We take the following from the Overland Friend
of China of the 23d April :
"Political news in this quarter is as scanty as it
was when we last wrote—we have hardly an inci-
dent of importance to refer to ; and but for the
hourly looked-for arrival of the Minister to Pekin,
and other high functionaries, we see no prospect of
a stir in the stagnation.
" Consequent on the rumoured nearness of the
insurgents, the Allied Commanders at Canton have
issued the following notice, or rather this is our
native reporter's rendering of it—
"'Whereas our two nations have made a treaty with
China and we are desirous of doing all we can to help the
inhabitants of the Great Central Kingdom, recently, the
Excellency Pepqui, the Lieutenant Governor, has repre-
sented to us the inability of the people to defend themselves
against robbers who have daringly entered the city, and
has requested us to allow the constable and watchmen to
take back the arms which were compared by us last year.
Loving the people as we do, there can be no objection to so
reasonable a request ; and we readily comply with it. Be
it known, therefore, that all who require arms can obtain
them, and so may the whole region be protected in peace
and hairiness.
ii 6 ienfung, 9th year, 2d moon, 29th day (April 2d,

THE. FRENCH LOSSES.

A letter from Marseilles says that if there were
any alloy or drawback to the feelings of national
exultation, it was at the meagreness of the first
despatch. We were told of the capture of 5,000
prisoners—since grown up to 7,ooo—and of 15,000
Austrians killed or wounded, who have also ex-
panded to 20,000, but not a word as to the extent
of the French losses. Surely the impatience of the
public will be excused when it is remembered how
many of their relatives were on the field of battle.
Subsequent despatches, received to-day, raise the
French losses from 2,000 to 3,000, and there is a
shrewd suspicion that the whole truth is not yet
told. We have not yet received authentic accounts
of the French losses at Montebello and Palestro ;
and wishes are expressed on all sides, which
have even found their way into the public jour-
nals, that the example of England might be
followed in giving exact returns, not only of the
superior officers slain, but also of the subalterns,
non-commissioned officers, and rank and file. It is
feared that the French losses aro much heavier
than they are stated to be ' • and many families are
plunged into most painful suspense—the agony of
doubt.

PENALTIES INFLICTED ON THE POOR.

Mr. T. DUNCOMBE directed the attention of the
Secretary of State for the Home Department to Return No.
192, of the last session, relative to convictions and penalties
inflicted on the poor, under the act 29 Charles 2, by the
rnagistrtites of the county of Southampton, for selling
fruits or sweets under the value of one penny; and asked
whether it would not be expedient to have the law re-
pealed, or impdrtially administered throughout the country.
The hon. member mentioned several cases in which fines
were inflicted on persons for selling a pennyworth of some
articles on Sunday.

Mr. S. ESTCOURT said that if a proposal were made
to repeal the act in question, he would give it his most
serious consideration.

OCCUPIERS OF LAND (IRELAND).
In answer to The O'DoNoaltuE,
The SOLICITOR-GENERAL said that bills in refer-
ence to this subject would shortly be introduced.
CHURCH RATES ABOLITION.
Sir J. TRELAWNY obtained leave to bring in a bill
to abolish Church-rates.

THE WAR IN ITALY.
Mr. T. DUNCOMBE moved an address for copy of
the instructions given to each officer sent by the British
Government to the head-quarters of the armies in Italy of
Austria, Sardinia, and France, together with any corres-
pondence that has passed between the Government of Eng-
land and those countries relative to such mission.—Agreed
