The Chinese disaster was—no doubt of it—the
result of a mistake. But for making that mistake
no one is found, upon careful scrutiny, to have been
in any respect really blameworthy. And this de-
cision, let it be particularly observed at once, is not
the result of that old stubborn system which leads
by a sort of a habit to a hush-up in cases of any pre-
sumed and even glaring delinquency. When first
the intelligence of this repulse encountered by our
steam gunboats on the waters and mud banks of
the Peiho reached this country there was a disposi-
tion on the part of some of the more captious and
cynical to direct the popular indignation at once
against the gallant old Admiral in command of that
little maritime expedition. It was precipitately,
and therefore most ungenerously, insinuated that
upon Admiral HOPE rested the whole painful and
grievous responsibility. We ourselves could not
help feeling instinctively the harshness, not to say
the cruelty and injustice of any such instant, un-
considered, and even it might be said (for we had
hardly at that moment the materials before us
for forming any reasonable conjecture), even, we
repeat, it might be said, anticipative condemnation.
We shrank from breathing a whisper of reproach
against Admirnl HOPE—remembering that, in addi-
tion to the total absence of any authentic particu-
lars as to the incidents which had led to the attack
and the repulse—remembering, especially and above
all, that Admiral HOPE had borne his part in that
disastrous and sanguinary encounter like a daunt-
less old tar, as he is ! Remembering, too, that he
himself was then suffering from the effects
of wound after wound, of a splinter in the thigh,
and a fall from a considerable height on to the
deck of the vessel to which he had been removed,
when the ono upon which his flag had been ori-
ginally flying had become unseaworthy, that one of
his ribs had been broken, that his frame had been
shaken, that his heart was depressed by the bitter
knowledge of the destruction and discomfiture of
so many of his heroic followers. Aware now of
the ftill particulars of the case, we cannot but 're-
joice in our intentional avoidance of any words in
any way- condemnatory of the naval Commander-
in-Chief.

The voluminous correspondence published in
our columns yesterday in extenso, more than
justifies this disinclination to jump to a cos
elusion. What in faet is it that Mr. BRUCE himself re-
marks, in plain, honest, manly words upon this very
point. Why, the Envoy declares positively in these
precise terms—the following are the ipsissima verba
that had the Admiral " expressed doubts [namely
as to the result] they would not have been shared by
the Squadron nor by those who had most experience
of warfare in China !" The Admiral, we all know,
of course, by the very fact of this little squadron
of steam gunboats having been led by him into the
Dragon's Jaws of that deadly and formidable am-
buscade of the. Chinese gunners lurking there, to
the number of 20,000, and waiting, match in hand,
behind the Peiho fortifications! the Admiral himself
-had no fear whatever as to the inadequacy of the
forces be was conducting apparently but to the
removal of a few booms and stakes—but really to
destruction and discomfiture. But neither for that
matter had Mr. BRUCE himself, according to his
own volunteered acknowledgment, nor yet, as we
have seen from his own notable words already
quoted, had any one in the whole Squadron, but
more particularly those who had most experience
!et' what Chinese warfare signified. The Mongol
Prince who had secretly prepared that deadly
ambush of 20,000 skilled archers, rifle•
men, and bombardiers, within the forts
at Taku, acted in this without any pre-
cedent. Europeans, in all their experience in
China, had never met anywhere, in any of their
encounters, with a reception like that prepared for
them "on thesly," with what we should call admira-
ble skill, daring, and forethought, but that it was

at the same time an infamous and execrable viola-
tion of all international law by the wily and
pitiless Commander-in-Chief of the Pechelee pro-
vince.

Besides, there was no room for delay either
for Admiral or for Ambassador. The Treaty,
signed at Tien-tsin, was to be ratified, at the latest,
by the 26th of June, and at no other spot in
China but Pekin ! Mr. BRUCE was sent forth
by his Government upon that positive and dis-
tinct understanding. He was to: go to Pekin to
ratify the treaty, and he was to go to Pekin for
that purpose not later than by the 26th of June.

his Excellency was to avail himself of the marl-
ime power in the Chinese seas under Admiral

HOPE. He was to resent instantly any attempt of
an indignity from every one, and this every where
even—he was told by the Foreign Secretary in
these very words in the instructions with which he
was sent forth upon his embassy—even should it
necessitate his withdrawal from the Presence Cham-
ber of the SOVEREIGN! The British Envoy is now
clearly shown to have had no alternative whatso-
ever. For, upon his approach to the frontiers of
the very shores of China he was told that the ex-
change of ratifications had better take place—
not at Pekin, but—at Shanghai. It was suggested
to him that after the ratification he might
then go on to Pekin from Shanghai.
And he writes himself upon this point in one of
his admirable despatches This journey occupies
two months, and I leave your lordship to judge
whethe'r, had we adopted this route, we should not
have abandoned for all practical purposes one
great object of the Treaty, viz.,—free access to
the central Government. I could not doubt that
the task of extorting a reception at Pekin in a
form implying a surrender on the part of the
Emperor of his pretensions to national supe-
riority would be more difficult than obtain-
ing a recognition of our equality on paper,
and that the Chinese Government in accordance

with its usual policy, would endeavour, by pre-
scribing the route I was to follow, by limiting the
number of my attendants, and by bad arrange-
ments during the journey, to put me in the de-
grading position hitherto occupied by foreign
Envoys, and recover by this means the prestige it
had lost by our successful coup de main of last
year." In point of fact, simply, Mr. BRUCE had
no alternative before him. He had merely to
do, what he did—namely, to place the matter en-
tirely in the hands of the Naval Commander-in-
Chief. And in regard to Admiral HOPE, we have
already seen and shown how completely and entirely
he is exonerated. No—Lord JOHN has defined the
actual position of affairs in regard to the Chinese
difficulty wisely as well as magnanimously. The
dead past is to bury its dead. While, as for the
future—why in this new Chinese War, England
and France must together see, we may rest assured
will together see, that it is terrible, swift, and
over whelming. •

The Turkish conspiracy appears to have been a
very serious affair. The numbers compromised are,
in all probability, very large, and it can hardly be
doubted that the life of the SULTAN would have
been readily sacrificed had he fallen into the con-
spirators' hands, and had he refused to abdicate in
favour of his brother. No doubt the leaders were,
as usual in such cases, actuated chiefly by personal
ambition. They wished indeed for a new regime ;
but the desire to obtain place and profit under it
was stronger than any political considerations. It
would appear, however, that political dissatisfaction
was so strong, and so widely diffused, that the con-
spirators relied confidently upon popular srpport,
at least on the support of the Mahommedan popu-
lation. The Government has taken all the pains
it could to suppress information on the details, yet
letters from Constantinople itself tell us that the
leading conspirators would have had the support of
15,000 troops, and of the Mehommedans generally ;
and that 3,000 persons have been arrested, includ-
ing nine colonels, five generals, and 300 officers.
The demands of the conspirators were, the recal of
the Hatti-Houmayoun of :the ith February, 1856 ;
dismissal of the present chief Ministers ; and pay;
ment of the arrears due to the troops and to the
Government employes ; with abdication of the STIL-
TON in favour of his brother. If these proposals
were not complied with, the SULTAN and his Minis-
ters were to be put to death, and the Government
buildings bombarded.
The first demand is the one on which the con-
spirators relied for success with the Mahommedan
population. The Hatti-Houmayoun, or,lmperial
order, is a Magna Charta, Habeas Corpus Act, and
Toleration Act, combined. And, so far as Mahom-
medans are concerned, it must be regarded by
them as depriving them of all the ecclesiasti-
cal and civil superiority they have so long
enjoyed, at a stroke. It is, indeed, but the de-
velopment and confirmation of what had been
already conceded by the Hatti-Sheriff of Gul
Haneh in 1839 ; but it is far more explicit, and was
granted under circumstances which made it far
more notorious, and where a representative of a
Christian power is an efficient man, it is more easy
to appeal to. Some of Mr. SENIOR'S informants
tells him, indeed, that beyond a long day's ride
from the metropolis it was a dead letter, and that
Ottoman officials paid not the slightest attention to
it. Still it was known every where. And while
high-and-dry old Turks regarded it as so much
waste paper, and its provisions as utterly imprac-
ticable, yet, one and all, they dare not refuse
obedience when it is insisted on by any who had
the ear of the Christian Ambassador, of the Eng.
lish Ambassador especially.
Two things seem to show that the present
SULTAN has created much disaffection. The con-
spiracy could scarcely have spread so widely as
that coming to light had not great numbers been
sufficiently alienated to be regarded as trustworthy.
Neither can we account for the comparative apathy
of " the faithful," had not ABDUL MEDJID be-
come from some cause unpopular with the
majority. The latter is, we have every reason
to think, too much the case ; and for two reasons
—one, that he is too much of a reformer ; the
other, that he is not reformer enough. The
SULTAN'S great pleasure is the costly one
of palace-building. In this mode of wasting his
money he may vie with the Christian King of
DENMARK. His civil list is probably the largest
in Europe ; it is four times that of our QUEEN'S ;
and his connection with the intolerable civil ad-
ministration of the country keeps him perpetu-
ally
deep in debt ; while his ragged troops are
unpaid,
and, but for Turkish apathy, would be in
perpetual mutiny. The better ordering of the
Imperial finances was even made a special subject
of promise in the Hatti-Houmayoun.
There can be little doubt, however, that the re-
forms to which the SULTAN is pledged by this, in
itself, weighty document, are the chief cause of the
indifference, or apprehension, or even displeasure,
with which he is extensively regarded. His sub-
jects reverence in him, indeed, the legitimate suc-
cessor of the Prophet. He is the Head of their
faith in a far higher sense than the CZAR is the
Head of the Russo-Greek Church. But, for that.
reason, if he succumb too much to the Infidel, he
aggrieves nearly all his subjects. If it be from the

pre.Nsure of irresistible force, they still feel humbled
in his person ; and if they at all imagine that he
feels, personally, no unwillingneis to yield, they
are more than humbled, they are indignant. They
think themselves betrayed. A feeling of this kind
seems to be diffusing itself throughout all the Mahom-
medan populations. It had not a little to do with
the Indian mutiny. The massacres at Jeddah and
in Syria are to be explained by it. Throughout all
Islam there is a bitter consciousness that the Cross
is triumphing over the Crescent. But one Mahom-
medan power now exists of any pretensions to con-
sideration among the empires of the earth, and this
power is now wholly at the mercy of the Christian
powers. Two or three of them saved it from being
trampled to the ground by a third—a service for
which gratitude was less felt than shame ; and now
these same powers have extorted from it the " Impe-
rial order," which places Christians on a level, in civil
and military matters, with believers in the Prophet
themselves ! It is true the Hatti-Houmayoun may
be disregarded in the provinces, but it is the badge
of submission to the Gaiour. Equality with Chris-
tians is degradation to Mussulmen.

We may despise all this if we like, but the Mus-
sulman pride of faith is a fact—a fact which will
yet shed no little blood. Englishmen, however,
with their purer creed, may look at lime as well
as condemn. These anti-reforming Moollahs and
old generals are the Mussulman Medixvalites. We
have but to remember how Orangemen, Puseyites,
and ardent Churchmen generally, resent every at-
tempt to lower, as they term it, their Church to the
level of Dissent ; or, as the State would term it, to
raise Dissenters to an equality with the Church—
and it is not difficult to comprehend the unpopu-
larity with Mussulmen of a Sultan who places the
Christian, by a decree emanating from himself, on
a level with the Orthodox. Fancy what a hubbub
would be raised if our " Defender of the Faith"
could by an edict place Church and Dissent on a
level Why, the Bishop of EXETER would give
up the ghost, and Mr. NEWDEGATE go crazy. We
are not sure that the Registrar-General would not
have to record the fatal effects of a new disease—
the Religious Equality Fever. The majority of
country rectors and curates would be restored to
health and sanity with difficulty. There is a large
class in England who ought to sympathise with
orthodox Turks groaning under the religious equa-
lity of the Hatti-Houmayoun.

The Marquis of Clanricarde and Mr. Lay and are

THE DISBANDED SOLDIERS IN INDIA.—A private
telegram received in Liverpool yesterday (Thursday) from
India states that the disbanded European troops had ac-
cepted the bounty, and consented to go to China,— Times.
A Turin letter of the 3d says :—" The Tuscan
corvette Argo, which arrived yesterday at Spezzia, struck
the Italian flag and hoisted that of Piedmont, with the red
cross in the white band of the centre. The Minister of the
Household of the King has just sent an order to Genoa to
prepare the Palace Balbi, which is the property of the
Crown, for the reception of the Dowager Empress of Rus-
sia, who is to arrive in that city about the 12th. The King
will receive her Majesty at Genoa, and accompany her to
Nice."

ADULTERATION OF COTTON.—A deputation of the
Liverpool Brokers Asssociation had an interview with the
American Chamber of Commerce in that town yesterday, in
reference to the frequent admixture of sand, dirt, and stones
with the cotton received from the American planters. A
memorial was presented setting forth the character of the
grievance, and stating that the adulteration was from 30 to
50 per cent. on the weight of the bales. The influence of the
Chamber was requested for the purpose of putting an end
to the evil by drawing attention to the subject throughout
the United States.

THE LATE STEAM-TUG EXPLOSION NEAR BRISTOL.
—The body of the fireman of the Fury steam -tug, the boiler
of which exploded in King-road on the 21st ult., was picked
up yesterday morning and brought to Pill, where it awaits
the coroner's inquest. The boy George Jones, who is the
only survivor, is still a patient at the Bristol Royal In-
firmary, but was sufficiently recovered to be able to give
evidence at the inquest held en Monday last on the body of
the engineer, when a verdict of " accidental death" was re-
turned.

IMPROVEMENTS IN THE STRAND.—NearIy the
whole of the houses from No. 17 in the Strand, occupied
by Mr. Watts, the chemist, to Craven-street, as also por-
tions of the Craven Hotel, have been pulled down for the
purpose of improvements being made on the Craven estate.
Craven-street will be widened by the removal of two houses.
In a short time the houses leading up to Northumberland-
street will be pulled down, and in their stead a number of
new buildings will be erected.

SGUTHAMPTON, Thursday.—The Dudbrook, 601
tons, Captain It. N. Forster, sailed to-day for Kurrachee,
taking out 8 soldiers, 135 women, 7 children over 12 years
old, 73 boys, 67 girls, and 6 infants, belonging to the
Royal Artillery, the 27th, 46th, 51st, 52d, and 70th Regi-
ments. The total number is 296, equal to 220 souls, and
they are under the care of Surgeon Henry Lannigan. The
Euxine, 1,080 tons, Captain Malcolmson, arrived from
London yesterday, and will leave for Madras about the

AYRSHIRE ELECTION.—The Speaker of the
House of Commons has issued his warrant to the Clerk
of the Crown to make outs new writ for the election of a
member to serve in the present Parliament, for the county
of Ayr, in room of the late Lord James Stuart. Mr.
Campbell, of Craigie, and Sir J. Fergusson, of Kilkerran,
the Liberal and Tory candidates, are incessantly canvassing,
and almost daily addressing the electors ; and as the election
approaches both parties seem confident of returning their
men.

ACCIDENT TO TIIE AMERICAN CONGRESS, NEW
YORK LINE OF PACKET SHlP.—Captain Mather, com-
manding the American Congress, from London, bound for
New York with cargo and passengers, arrived at Ports-
mouth yesterday, and reported his ship having gone ashore
during thick weather on the Shoal of the Lead, near the
Owers Light-vessel, where she remained. Application was
at once made through the American Consul at Portsmouth
to the proper authorities of her Majesty's dockyard for as-
sistance to get the ship off again, and the Government
steam-tug Echo, with barges in tow, containing warps and
anchors, was immediately despatched to the scene of the
disaster. The wind yesterday was easterly, with thick
weather, which will no doubt cause a heavy roll where the
ship lies, but no fears are entertained of her ultimate
safety. It is stated that some portions of her false keel
came up alongside soon after the ship struck the ground.
Tho American Congress is a vessel of about 1,000 tons re-
gister, and is one of Messrs. Phillipps, Shaw, and Lowther's
line of packet ships between London and New York.
DEFENCE OF AUSTRALIA.—Our Australian colo-
nies are giving proof of their earnest desire to relieve the
mother country of all anxiety as to their defence in case she
becomes involved in war with any maritime Power. Last
mail brought intelligence that, in addition to the steps that
had been taken to put Port Jackson in a position to repel
an attack, the Victorian government had passed laws for
increasing the troops of the regular army, enrolling some
6,000 volunteers of all arms, and erecting, powerfully-
constructed batteries both at the Heads of Port Phillip
and at the entrance to Hobson's Bay where usually lies at
anchor a fleet almost altogether British, of some half a
million of tonnage and many millions of value. The llon.
Captain A. Clarke, R.E., at the request of the colonists,
has been named by the Duke of Newcastle the commissioner
on behalf of the province to conduct the selection and pur-
chase in Europe of the arms and munitions of war requisite
to complete these defences• Captain Clarke was for many
years Surveyor-General in Australia, and was recently a
member of the Provincial Cabinet of Victoria.

THE GREAT EASTERN.—Seeing the statements
'in the papers that the directors of the Great Eastern contem-
plated sending her to Southampton to facilitate her repairs,
Mr. Malley, Lloyds' district surveyor at Plymouth, wrote
to the chairman and suggested Plymouth Sound as a most
eligible place for that purpose, being easy of access as well
as a safe and commodious anchorage for the great ship. He
also set forth the certainty of there being very considerable
receipts from the thousands of visitors from all parts of
Devon and Cornwall who would wish to see her when so
near at hand. Mr. Mulley received a reply, stating that it
was not intended that the ship should go to Southampton
or any other port for repairs. It will be oteervcd that the
directors do not positively say that they will not send her to
Plymouth for view, but appear to have left that question
open. We, therefore, hope they may yet decide to give her
a day or two here, and make Plymouth her port of .iepar-
ture on her trial trip.—Plymouth Journal.
ZOOLOGICAL SOCIETY OF LONDON.—At the
monthly general meeting, held yesterday, at the society's
house in Hanover-square, Mr. E. J. nudge, F.R.S., in the

Sydney, a corresponding member of the society. His Ex-
cellency Sir Geo. Grey, K.C.8., Colonel J. M. Caul hid,
and Messrs. J. Scott, W. C. Hewitson, C. Booth, T. 11.
Stewart, R. Towns, St. Leger Glyn, H. Woodward, and J.
Wolf were proposed as candidates for the fellowship. It
was announced that the silver medal of the society had
been presented to Viscount Canning, Lord William Hav,
Captain Hay, Major Ramsay, Mr. Brian Hodgson, 'Air.
Keene, Captain James, and the Baboo Rajendra Mullick,
in commemoration of their services in forming the collec-
tion of living Himalayan pheasants received in 1557 ; to Mr.
Richard Green, for his assistance in transporting them ;
also to Mr. William Dougall Christie, her Britannic Ma-
jesty's Minister to the Brazils, in acknowledgment of
numerous valuable donations of South American animals to
the menagerie. It was also announced that the number of
visitors to the gardens during the year had amounted to
315,560, being an increase over same period in /$3B of
20,004 persons.

FRANKFORT-ON-MAINE, OCT. 7.

The following is a summary of the reply given
by the Duke of Saxe Coburg to the note addressed
to him by the Austrian Minister of Foreign Affairs,
concerning the opinion lately expessed by him in
regard to Federal Reform in Germany :

" The Austrian Cabinet must have misunder-
stood the words of the Duke, he having only ex-
pressed a desire for the union of Germany, which
does not render necessary the exclusion of Austria
from that union.

" The Duke, however, as a reigning Sovereign,
must make the reservation that he does not consider
that an account of words spoken by him is due to
any one, and least of all to another Cabinet.
" The Duke has always most seriously persisted
in the support of Austria by Germany—but such
a support had lately been rendered impossible by
the imperfections of the Federal Constitution and
by the sudden conclusion of peace by Austria.

" The Duke expresses a doubt that the Emperor
of Austria, for whom personally he entertained the
highest esteem, had any knowledge of the note that
had been addressed to him ; he, therefore, insists
that his reply should be submitted to the Emperor."

PARIS, OCT. 7.

The who!e of the Mediterranean squadron has
not put to sea as stated. Several frigates only
have sailed for the coast of Africa with 6,000 men.
These troops will be landed at the port of Nemours,
formerly Dj amma Gazoroual, situated seven or eight
leagues distant from the frontier of Morocco, and
will reinforce the expeditionary corps which is to
occupy the district of Ouchda.
The Catholic clergy of Paris have arranged t 6

MODENA, OCT. 6.

Yesterday, Colonel Anviti, late president of the
Military Commission of the ex-Duchy of Parma,
was discovered to have arrived at Parma in disguise,
by the Bologna road.
Anviti had come for the purpose of getting up a
conspiracy, and had remained concealed until yes-
terday. He was recognised by the populace. Heroic
efforts were made to save him, but the troops being
quartered in the citadel, which is at half an hour's
distance, and the door of the guard-house, in which
four or five carabineers were stationed, and in which
he had taken refuge, having been forced, Colonel
Anviti was killed. The greatest tranquillity now
reigns in the city.

COPENHAGEN, OCT. 5.

A discussion on the proposal of M. Tscherning,
to ask for a declaration from the Government
concerning the application of article 23 of the
constitution of the whole kingdom, remained with-
out any result. M. Orid Lehmann proposed that
the council should pass to the order of the day in
expressing their views on the question of Holstein,
but afterwards withdrew his proposition.
The President of the Council of the Kingdom
said in his speech that the Government was making
continued efforts to join Holstein constitutionally
to the remainder of the kingdom.

In consequence of this statement M. Tscherning
withdrew his proposal, and M. Orld Lehmann like-
wise withdrew a proposition to forward an address
to the King.
