RUSSIA AND CHINA.

A letter from St. Petersburg, dated July 21,
gives the following summary of the treaty recently
concluded at Tien-Tzin by Count Putiatme on the
13th of June last

Art. 3 says :
" The commerce of Russia with Ct,ina may
henceforth be carried on not only by land in the old
border localities, but by sea also. Russian merchant
vessels msy land their cargoes at the following
ports :—Shanghai, Ningro, Foo-choo-foo, Sia-
mouim, Canton, Tai-wan-fou, Tscium-tchyin, and
at other places opened to foreign commerce."
In Art. 4 it is said :
" In future no restrictions whatever shall be put
upon the number of persons employed in the com-
merce by land, or on the amount of merchandise
imported, or on the capital employed."

Art. 5 says :
" The Russian Government has the right, should
it think fit, to appoint Consuls in all the above-
named ports. It may send its vessels of war there
to maintain order among Russian subjects sojourn-
ing. at the open ports, and to protect the authority
of the Consuls.'
In Articles 9 and 10 it is said:—

,‘ The Chinese Government,;ee agnising that the
Christian doctrine contributes to the establishment
of order and harmony among men, binds itself not
only not to persecute its subjects for following the
Christian religion, but to protect them equally as are
protected the adherents of any other form of wor-
ship tolerated in the Empire. Considering the mis-
sionaries to be worthy men, not acting from any
personal interest, the Chinese Government autho-
rises them to propagate Christianity among its
subjects, and will not prevent them from pene-
trating into the interior of the Empire by all open
localities; consequently a fixed number of mis-
sionaries shall be provided with certificates by the
Consuls or frontier authorities of Russia."
It is further said in Art. 10 :
" All the nu milers of the ecclesiastical mission of
Russia, instead a sojourning at Pekin fora
time, as formerly, may, in virtue of a deeisionfrotmo
the superior authorities, return atarnytime
route, and
Russia by Xiakhta, or by any. other
(ptlhaceer
atp Pekin."ersonsmay be nominated in their stead and

DEATH OF THE HON.. ROBERT WINDSOR CLIVE,
M.P.—We regret to annwance the death of the Hon. Robt.
Windsor Clive, M.P. for South Shropshire, who expired
yesterday forenoon at 1.)'.8 residence in John-street, Berke-
ley-square. The her, gentleman had been in indifferent
health since the 111,.e general election, and was unable
through illness to attend in the House of Commons on the
division on the Marquis of Hartington's amendment to the
address, which ',ed to the overthrow of the Earl of Derby's
Government. It was only a few hours before his dissoliu-
tion that fes'es were entertained of his ultimate recovery.
The probable character of the transformation of
the French army an d navy from a war to a peace footing
seems now to be vi ell understood, and Consols, therefore,
notwithstanding the pacific announcements daily received,
remain without: nay tendency to improvement. The de-
mand for money has been rather less active this aftern Don,
and at the Bank there was a falling off in the applicati one.
The mercantile 1 Os which fell due yesterday -were reme irk-
ably well met, a a case of embarrassment of the slightest iva-
portance having transpired.—Times' City Article.
