THE WAR IN CHINA.—An account of the pro-
ceedings of our Naval and Military Force in the
Chinese Seas, from an intelligent officer, who has
taken an active part in them, has been greatly de-
sired; and this we are, at last, to have from a quarter
that cannot fail to satisfy the expectations of the most
exacting. Commander Bingham, R.N., as First
Lieutenant of the Modeste, one of the squadron most
conspicuously engaged throughout the war, was an
eye witness of every important affair with the enemy,
and from his position must easily have obtained the
fullest information of all matters which did not come
under his own observation. He was seriously wounded
in action, and having greatly distinguished himself by
his' gallantry was promotEd and sent home. The
work he has announced, besides its professional value
in the eyes of the author's brother officers, is said to
be an exceedingly entertaining narrative, as Captain
Bingham from personal intimacy with many of the
natives of different classes, has been able to introduce
into his pages very graphic and interesting sketches
of the Chinese, from the highest officers of the State
to the humblest of its innumerable sub;ects. A more
attractive work, at the present moment,' it is scarcely
possible to imagine.
