NEW WRIT.

On the motion of Mr. BRAND a writ was ordered to be
issued for the election of a member of Parliament in the
plaoe of Sir John Owen, Bart., deceased.
THE ARMY AND THE NAVY ENGAGED IN

THE CHINESE WAR.
Lord PALMERSTON, in rising to move a vote of thanks
to the members of the army and navy engaged in the opera-
tions in China, said he had one of the most grateful duties
to discharge. These forces had performed brilliant services
under circumstances of great difficulty and attended
with considerable danger. These operations were
of a most remarkable description. In the first place
these operations were performed by a comparatively small
force, and in one of the remotest portions of the globe.
The e was not a single mistake committed in the whole of
the operations, and the greatest unanimity prevailed between
forces engaged. The noble lord having adverted to the
fact that force was not resorted to until all attempts at con-
ciliation had failed, referred in detail to the achievements
of the B ritish troops,which he highly eulogised. He adverted
also to the union that prevailed between the French and
English troops, and expressed a hope that they would
never be materially engaged in hostilities except
side by side. He also directed attention to the
great political benefits wbich might be expected to result
from our successes in China, in inducing the people of
that country to keep faith with the European troops for the
future.

Mr. DISRAELI seconded the motion, and was

THE CONVICT REVOLT AT CHATHAM.

CHATHAM, WEDNESDAY.

A strong guard of troops of the line has been on
duty at the convict prison the whole of the day,
and also last night, and every precaution has been
taken to prevent a recurrence of the outbreak
among the prisoners confined in the establishment..
At an early hour this morning, in conformity with
a request made by Captain Powell, the Governor,
Major-General Eyre ordered the whole of the
drum.majors of the garrison, with a certain num-
ber of drummers from each corps to proceed to the
prison with the cats and triangles, for the purpose
of administering corporal punishment to the
prisoners who were yesterday ordered to be flogged
by Sir Joshua Jebb and Captain Gambier. Some
of the sailors from Her Majesty's ship Wellesley,
74, also proceeded to the prison for the same pur-
pose. The prisoners to be flogged were all brought
out into the yard, where they were stripped and
fastened up to the triangles, a guard of soldiers
being stationed round. A number of the stoutest
and strongest men from the band were then selected
and each prisoner then received three dozen lashes.
The number of men flogged to-day is 36, all of them
being those who took a leading part in the revolt
on Monday afternoon. The drummers engaged in
flogging the convicts were occupied at the task the
whole of the morning, and also this afternoon, the
convicts being punished one at a time. Each man
after receiving his punishment was conveyed to the
prison infirmary to be: medically treated. It was
remarked that the convicts who behaved in the
most outrageous manner during the outbreak were
those whose cries were the loudest during the in-
fliction of the punishment. Many of the prisoners
bore their punishment with scarcely a single cry.
There are still about 60 convicts ironed in the cells
awaiting the decision as to the punishment to be
inflicted on them, and it is understood that the
whole of that number will be flogged. The con-
victs have all been kept confined to their cells
to-day, and none have left the prison to work. The
jr9ops will remain on guard at the prison until
further orders from Major-General Eyre.

OLD FOLKS' CONC.EBT.

A very en-Lions troupe of minstrels have al-rived
from America, and have taken up their public abode
in the smarter hall of St. James's, which is entered
from Piccadilly.
It consists of 30 performers, costumed in the
style of a period ranging from 50 to 100 years siva,
and showing all the eccentricities of former fashions,
and proving that our grandfathers and grand-
mothers, and ancestors, doubtless up to the remotest
times, were, as are their descendants, the slaves of
fashion, consenting to put on any ludicrous garb,
or any absurd costume_that the absurdity of the
period may demand.

The concert is divided into the 'sacred and the
secular, and thus we have several pieces of very eld
religious music in the first part ; whilst the second
is devoted to very worldly, not to say fast produc-
tions, although throughout the utmost decorum is
preserved. The first part consists of some very
old psalm tunes, which forcibly carry one back to
the pure and stern Puritan times, when the young
Republic was making her way into the wild
prairie and the dark woods, and when she had a
stern and often solitary duty to perform. Doubt-
less in the cities of the Western World, whence
this " Old Folks' Concert" comes, these old tunes,
sung with the 'simple yet natural power of these
singers, must produce many associative feelings
which we on this side the Atlantic cannot so fully
participate in.
The merrier portion of the entertainment con-
sists of some melodies which have the novelty and
gaiety of the Western world, and although they
cannot be called negro, they have the simplicity
and touchingness of that class of music. Mrs.
Nichol sang two or three ballads with great sweet-
ness, and a certain naivete which were very telling
and which commanded rapturous encores. A lady
of the name of Reeve sings with much expression
and power ; and there is a fine natural bass voice,
but we did not catch the name of the possessor.
The chorus sing very well together, and are effec..
tive. Altogether it will prove attractive from its
eccentricity, and from the perfect novelty of much
of the performance. We can sincerely recommend
those in search of a couple of hours of novel amuse-
ment to look in on " The Old Folks' Concert."

FROM THE CAUCA.

The brig Bazaar, Francis, arrived in port on
Tuesday from Tumaco. The defeat of the Govern-
ment forces under Cordova in Sachacoco, by Gene-
ral Obando, is confirmed. Cordova had fled to Pasto,
his people having dispersed. General Obando had
passed the Juanambre, having decided to take
Pasto. Tuquerres had pronounced in favour of the
State of Cauca. It is also confirmed that Antioquia
is determined to remain neutral. The entire tenour
of the news is unfavourable to the general Govern-
ment, and we may soon expect to hear of a great
and decisive battle on the plains of Bogota.
Advices from Santa Martha were to the 29th of
December last. The defeat of Generals Paris and
Briceno in El Banco was confirmed. The latter
was said to have retreated up the river with only
200 men out of the 1,100 with which he had attacked
the other party at El Banco. The rumour of the
reverse said to have been experienced by General
Mosquera originated from a letter which had been
written by General Enao to the Secretary of State
of Cauca, informing him that, in consequence of
General Mosquera having invaded the territory of
Cundinamarca, he considered the terms of his agree-
ment dissolved, and that he would, with his forces,
obey the order of the General Government. General
Paris was marching with his division to Bogota,
and General Mosquera remained in the department
of Nieva, where some of the districts had pro-
nounced in his favour. It was said that General
Lopez had joined the Liberal party, and offered to
assist them with 2,000 men. In Bogota there were
about 2,500 troops, and a good deal of discontent
existed there on account of the manner in which
the forced contribution (under the law of 1857)
was assessed. The Government had not proceeded
to make any forced loan, as the Supreme Court had
decided that it was unconstitutional.

OUR TRADE WITH LOMBARDY.

The " correspondence relating to Italy," which
has been laid before Parliament, contains a report
from Mr. Consul General Otway, dated Milan,
January 10, 1861,'0n the commerce of Lombardy
and the way in which it has been affected by the
annexation to Piedmont. He states that most of the
articles which reach Milan from England come
through Genoa, where the duty is paid, and it
has not been in his power to procure any official
account of the British merchandise which finds its
way into Lombardy. He considers that trade is
kept slack by the unwillingness of purchasers to
have large stocks by them until political affairs
become more settled and reassuring, and the youth
of the country who have been running after mili-
tary adventure return to their trades and profes-
sions. Nevertheless, he learns from private sources
that the trade with England has already become
more active than before, in consequence of the
introduction of the customs' tariff of ancient Pied-
mont, with very moderate duties in comparison
with the preceding Austrian tariff, under which
indeed the trade with this country was extremely
limited, and in fact principally contraband,
owing to the differential duties in favour of the
countries of the Zollverein. One of hisd
informants states that the import of
cottons and woollen stuffs from England

ties, there is an opinion that the native manufac-
ture is more solid. Silk stuffs for ladies' dresses
are generally imported from Lyons, where they
are manufactured at a cheaper rate than the Eng-
lish. The importation of iron from England is
described to the Consul as having much in-
creased, "to the serious prejudice of our own Lom-
bard production, in consequence of the lower
prices, although in various sorts English iron is of
inferior quality to ours. As for the principal export
of Lombardy, silk, the English demandhas dwindled
almost to nothing within these four years, owing
to the high prica, and the Chiiese and Asiatic
silks have superseded it ; but the question of
merit between the two cannot be solved, until the
cessation of the malady which has prevailed in
Lombardy and damaged the:quality of its produce

though London. is not now among them,

DR. KAHN on MARRIAGE.—A new and
entirely re-written Edition (the 45th)of this celebrated
Treatise, with new Steel Plates, Woodcuts, &c., is now ready.
The object of the work is not to maintain any particular
hypothesis, but to enable every one to understand for himself
the structure and functions of the organs concerned in the
fulfilment of the physical obligations of the married state;
to acquaint him with the consequences arising from excesses ;
to prevent unnecessary misapprehension from unfounded
fears, and to indicate, when those fears are well founded, the
means of speedy relief. The work is not crowded with the
technicalities of ordinary professional books, nor does It pre-
sent the crudeness which characterises the so-called "popular
works" on the subject.

Chili.—From this Republic the news is unim-
portant. In local matters the approaching elec-
tions engage public attention, and it is hoped that
both the Government and the Opposition parties
will agree on a line of policy which will tend to
prevent a disturbance. In the South the Indians
have fearfully ravaged the country, burning the
forage and pastures, in order to deprive the army
©f all the resources the country might afford. The
market continues well supplied, and an improve-
ment in business is daily looked for. Manufactured
goods, metals, and liquors are abundant. Carolina
rice is scarce and in demand.

tREAT WiSTERist.

The report of the directors of this company states
that " although the aggregate reireinte of the past
half year exceeds that or the same period in the
preceding year (1859), it will be remarked, as an
exceptional case, that the income derived from pas-
senger traffic over the Great Western lines has dimi-
nished (almost for the first time) by ith lost at
amount than £16,885. Two concurrent circum-
stances sufficiently account for that falling off, one
being the diverson of passengers by the opening of
the direct railfty froth Salisbliry, by Yeovil, to
Exeter, Which line is in competition with the Great
Western line through Bristol; the Other being the
wet weather riteVaient daring the summer and
autumn, as well as the severity of frost at the com-
mencement of winter, both naturally affecting the
movement of railway travellers. This dGficiency in
receipts has, however, been more than counterbal-
anced by other revenue, derived from merchandise,
coals, and cattle, which exceeds the corresponding
income in 1850 by the sum of £29,231. The revenue
accounts to the 31st December, 1860, of all the
Great Western lines and of the Kennet and Avon
Canal, belonging to the company, leave a net dis-
posable balance of £157,154 ss. 10d., after defray-
ing all. claims for interest and preference charges ;
and your directors recommend that the same divi-
dend shall be paid to the proprietors as was declared
for the corresponding period of 1859, viz., at the
rate of 31 per cent. per annum, leaving £13,001
19s 3d. to be carried forward as balance to the cur-
rent half-year.

CONSUMPTION and ASTHMA CURED.—
Dr. H. JAMES discovered, while in the East Indies, a
certain CURE for CON SMIT lON, Asthma, Bronchitis,
Coughs, Colds, and General Debility. The remedy was dis-
covered by him when his only child, a daughter, was given up
to die. His child was cured, and is now alive and well.
Desirous of benefiting his fellow-creatures, he will send post
tree, to those who wish it, the recipe, containing full directions
for making and successfully using this remedy, on receipt o
their names' with stamped envelope for return postage.—

GAETA.

A letter from Gaeta, in the Augsburg Gazette,
has the following :—" The King and Queen inhabit
three low and damp rooms in the casemates, arrived
at by a narrow staircase terminated by a kind of
anti-chamber, in which it is necessary to keep a
lamp burning all day. Adjoining is another room
rather larger, in which no furniture is to be seen
but a writing table, two beds, and some arm
chairs. This is now the residence of a Sovereign
who only a short time ago possessed the most
splendid palaces in the world, The streets of
Gaeta almost resemble newly ploughed fields.
As to walking in them, it must not be thought of.
The Queen visits the hospitals at least once a day ;
she goes from bed to bed, takes a memorandum of
the requests of the wounded and dying; assists the
surgeons i❑ applying bandages, and if perchance a
shell bursts near, she pays not the slightest atten-
tion to it."

A letter from Turin mentions a very untoward
incident, in consequence of which General Pinelli,
commander of the column operating in the Abruzzi,
has been superseded. The general, having been
violently attacked by the clerical journal, the
igrmenta, thought proper to reply by forwarding
to it the copy of an order of the day which he had
recently addressed to his troops, and expressing the
hope that it would render him still more worthy
of the hatred of that journal and its supporters,
The extreme violence of this order will be seen
from the following extract :
" Officers and Soldiers,—You have accomplished
much ; but nothing is done so long as anything
remains to do. A remnant of that race of robbers
is still lurking in the mountains; hasten to dis-
lodge them, and be as inexorable as fate. Towards
such enemies mercy is a crime. Mean and sub-
missive when they see us in numbers, no sooner
do they see us weak than they traitorously at-
tack us from behind, and massacre our wounded
Indifferent to all political principles, eager only
for booty and rapine, they are for the moment
the salaried brigands of the Vicar, not of Christ,
but of Satan, ready to sell their poignards to any
others when the gold extorted from the stupid
credulity of the faithful shall no longer suffice to
satisfy their greed. We will annihilate them ;
we will crush the sacerdotal vampite which with
its foul lips has for centuries sucked the blood of
our mother; we will purify with fire and sword
the regions infected by its filthy slaver, and from
its ashes liberty shall rise with renewed vigour for
this noble province of Ascoli also."
Language so outrageous could not be allowed to
pass unnoticed by the Sardinian Government, and
Gen. Pinelli has consequently been removed from
his command, as announced by telegraph.

A NEW ASSOCIATION.

I am persuaded that if half-a-dozen clever young men
were to form themselves into a little association, each mem-
ber of which should be pledged to lose no opportunity of
crying up the other five members in conversation, through
the press, and in every other possible way, this would mate-
rially further their success in life and the estimation in
which they would be held wherover known. The world
would take them at the value so constantly dinned into its
ear. When you read on a silver coin the legend one shilling,
you readily take it for a shilling; and if a man walks about
with great genius painted upon him in large red letters,
!many people will accept the truth of the inscription. Every
one has seen how a knot of able young men hanging to-
gether at college and in after life can help one another even
in a material sense, and not less valuably by keeping up
one another's heart. All this is quite fair, and so is even
the mutual praise when it is hearty and sincere. For
several months past I have been possessed of an idea which
has been gradually growing into shape. I have thought of
getting up an association, whose members should always
hold by one another, be true to one another, and cry one
another up. A friend to whom I mentioned my
plan highly approved it, and suggested the happy name
of the Mutual Exaltation Society. The association
would be limited in number : not more than fifty mem-
bers could be admitted. It would include educated men
in all walks of life ; more particularly men whose success
in life depends in any measure upon the estimation in
which they are commonly held, as barristers, preachers,
authors, and the like. Its purposes and operations have
already been indicated with as much fulness as would be
judicious at the present juncture. Mr 'Barnum and Messrs.
Moses ana ion uvula no consulted on the cletana.
John Ellesmere, ex-solicitor-general and author of the
" Essay on the Arts of Self-Advancement," would be the
first president, and the general guide, philosopher, and
friend of the Mutual Exaltation Society. The present
writer will be secretary. The only remuneration he would
expEct would be that all the members should undertake, at
least six times every day, to make favourable mention of a
recently published work. Six times a day would they be
expected to say promiscuously to any intelligent friend or
stranger, " Have you read the ' Recreations of a Country
Parson' ? Most wonderful book I Not read it I Go to
Mudie's and get it directly"—and the like. For obvious
reasons it would not do to make public the names
of the members of the association; the moral weight of
their mutual laudation would be much diminished. But
clever young men in various parts of the country who may
desire to join the society, may make application to the
editor of Fraser' s Magazine, enclosing testimonials of
moral and intellectual character. Applications will be
received until the First of April, 1861.

STATE OF TRADE.

HUDDERSFIELD, Feb. 12.—The weather having
set in again cold has helped a few sales in winter
goods. There is also a little doing in spring and
summer patterns, but the amount of business alto
gether is much below what is usually done at this
season. The business doing in wools at present is
very trifling, but the stocks on hand are low, which
assists dealers in maintaining nearly the usual
prices.'
LEICESTER, 13th.—The hosiery trade remains
rather quiet, and there is barely an average amount
of business doing. Goods are made with caution,
and for the most part limited to the demand. In
the adjacent hosiery districts machinery is by no
means fully employed. Stocks are kept as low as
possible. The wool market is rather unsteady, and
there is not much demand for material. No im-
portant change in yarns.
NEWCASTLE-ON -TYNE, Feb. 11.—Trade upon the
whole is opening out here for the spring satisfac-
torily. The black hardware trade of above bridge,
the fire brick and retort trade, engine building,
and some other branches are active ; indeed, the
black hardware and the fire brick trades have not
been more active for soil:ie time past. The freight
market is not very lively. East India and China
freights have a downward tendency, and freights
for the Mediterranean and the United States are in
a tranquil state. South American freights are
firmer, and London freights, on account of the bad
weather, have risen to 7s 6d per ton for coals. Ac-
cording to the Custom-house returns 79,853 tons
of coal were exported over sea from Newcastle
in January, 36,066 tons from Sunderland, and
26,62 tons from Hartlepool ; 201,743 tons
were exported to London arid coastwise
from Newcastle in January, 170,558 tons from
Sunderland, and 103,614 tons from Hartlepool.
There was a falling off in the value of goods, other
than coals and coke, exported from Newcastle in
January, 1861, amounting to £23,698, as compared
with January, 1860, and of £191,029 from Hartle-
pool. There was a slight increase at Sunderland
and Middlesborough. The Newcastle Chamber of
Commerce has taken action against the renewal of
the London coal tax.

NOTTINGIEAM, 13T11.—There is very little more
demand for any description of lace this week. The
few buyers (both home and continental) who are
in the market are purchasing in limited quantities.
The spring is advancing, when there is usually a
good trade, but at present the business doing is
very much below an average of previous years.
Manufacturers are finishing cautiously, and very
little is being made except to order. A good deal
of machinery is, therefore, standing, or working
short time. There continues to be rather more
doing in the hosiery trade, the hands are being
better employed, and manufacturers are more san-
guine as to the future.
