Lord Satoun, landed to the west of the city
and took up position on the hill about nan
mile distant from the wall. The inhablt
ants are stated to have declared their un'
willingness to allow their houses and proper
ty to be destroyed. The garrison, consist
inc of about $4,000 Tartar and Chinese
troops. became terrified. A flag of truce
was sent out to the British plenipotcntiary
PRAYING for cessation OF hostlllties wlilcl
was granted, as commissioners having in
powers from the Emperor were declared tc
be on their road to treat for peace. The
assault on Nankin, which was designed FOL
the 18th was, therefore, postponed.
On the 18th the High Imperial Commis'
sioners arrived They were three, VIZ -
I.-Kec-Ying, member of the Imperial
Family, and Commandcr-m-chicr OF the Tar
tar troops in Konang-Sung.
2--Elpo, Lcutcnant-Generalo OF Tchapoo
former Governor of TZc-kcang, but de

cs Keang-Sou and Keang-Si.
They speedily communicated to the
British Plcnipotentiary their powers. which
were found to be in due order. Visits oi
ceremony then took place, and, after various
conferences, the conditions of a treaty OF
peace were signed in presence OF the Admi-
raj and General, aud many other British of
ficcrs. Copies of these conditions were I'M
mediatey transmitted TO Pekin, and their re-
turn was expected in ten days. When the
treaty was signed, a Royal salute was fired,
and all restrictions removed on the inter
course between the expedition and the ma
tives
This treaty Of peace has given great salts
faction to the British in China and lndln.-
1t was said that the Emperor had at first
some doubts as to the propricty of opening
a foreign trade at Foo-chow-fOo, which is
the capital of Fokien, and the nearest port
to the country where the Bohea tea grows,
but that he afterwards yielded that point.
The payment Of the opium claims will, it
is stated, be adjusted according to the amount
fixed some months ago by the British gov
crnnent. 1t was said that the Imperial
Commissioners had pressed the consldera-
ton of the opium trade on the British Plen-
ipotentary but he declined to discuss it,
stating if the Chinese government were de-
sirous Of producing a stoppage to it, that it
ought to be effected by their own internal
regulations, and by imposing restrictions OH
their own subjects.
The steamers were the objects of great
curiosity TO the Chinese, who called those
vessels the Devils ships"

Senate Of the nature and extent of "the inior.
NAL communications which took place between
the American Secretary Of State and the Bit
ish Special Minister during The late negotia-
tons at Washington City, upon the subject Of
the claims of the United States and Great Brit
ain to the country west Of The Rocky Mount
aims" and also 30 inform the Senate what were
the reasons which prevented "any agreement
upon the subject at present." and which made
it "inerpeditnt 10 include his subject among
The subjects Of formal negotiation.''
The President states, That in conformity 10
lhc purpose he announced in his Annual Mes
sage, measures have already been taken to
bring about speedy settlement Of the claims
Of the two countries to the territory in question,
and that, on this account, he does not deem il
expcdient TO make any communication on the
subject, at PRESENT.
On motion of Mr. Archer, the two messages
were lail on The table, and referred TO the Sc
lect committee 10 inquire into the propriely of
printing them.
The Senate then went into executive session.

MAssAcHUsErTs. The official canvass of the
votes for senators, by the Governor and Coun-
ell, elects but "a of the 40 before the people
as follows:
Locos-Mddesex 6, Hampden ., Berkshire
9, Norfolk |, Bristol 3-total ii.
WhigS--Suiiok 5, Hampshire Q, Barnsta-
be2, Nantucket and Duke total 10.
Ofthe vacancies, 5 are in Worcester, are
in Essex, in Franklin, in Norfolk aud , in
Plymouth.
If the Boston POSTS calculation is correct,
the Locos will have majority of seven in
joint ballot, and the filing up of the senate,
the choice of Governor SC. If the Atlas Is
right, there will be tie in joint ballot; and
what will come Of that remains to be seen.
The late failure of the Freewill Baptist Corpora
ton, says the Lowell Press, must be recorded as
one of the most disastrous events on the records of
Lowells history. Some of the incidents connected
with the iailure--resultng as it undoubtedly will,
in an almost total wreck of all investments in the
concern--are of the most painful character.

THE STORMING OF KINSHAN AND
CHIN-KTANG-FOO.
HEAD QUARTERs,
Cain-kiang.too, Juln %, 1912.

y
My Lord, 1t affords me great grati6ca-
ton to announce to your Lordship, that our
progress up the Yang-tse-kiang has, under
Divine Providence, been most propitious,
and our first operations upon the shores Of
this mighty river most successful.
We sailed from the anchorage of Woo
sung on the 9th. Many unavoidable delays
occurred in bringing fleet Of upwards Of 20
sail of men-ol-war and transports up river
for the most part totally unknown, and we
did not reach Suyshan, the first point where
opposition, if it can he so termed, was offer
ed, until the Nth. A few shots were fired
here from some small batteries, recently e.
rected, at the leading ships, which landed
their marines, when the enemy fled. The
feet anchored at this point, and the bate
ries and guns were destroyed. Unfortunate
~ the wind came more ahead the next NOR
ming, which, together with the strength of
the current. and the further difficulty pre-
scented by sudden bend of the river, pre-
vented the ships from proceeding on the 18th.
On the 10Th, however, | accompanied Sir
William Parker in the steam lrgate Vixen,
and we made a very satisfactory and accu-
rate reconnaissance of both Klnshan and
Chin-kiang-ioo. The steamer passed close
to the shore, within musket range of the i'm
peral canal, which passes through the sub
urbs Of the city, and without meeting the
slightest opposition, hundreds of the inhabi-
tants crowding the shore to gaze on her as
she passed This, as well as all our ac-
counts, led me to believe that little, if any,
resistance would be made. Not soldier
appeared upon the city walls, nor could
perceive any encampments in the neighbor-
hood We returned to the feet that eve
ming.
On the l7th, some of the fast sailing ships
Of war were enabled to pass the bend, and
proceeded up the river. On the 10Th the
Cornwallace effected this passage, and f.
yorable change of wind enabled the whole
fleet to reach Granddaughter on the 2Gth.
This city, with its walls in excellent re.
pair, stands within little more than half Z
mile from the river; the northern and the
eastern face upon range Of steep hills; the
west aud southern faces on low ground, will
the Imperial Canal serving in some measure
as wet ditch to these faces. To the west
ward, the suburb through which the cana
passes, extends to the river, and terminate.
under a precipitous hill, opposite to which
and within 1000 yards is the island Of Kin
shan, mere rock, rising abruptly from the
water; small seven storied pagoda crown,
the summit, and few temples and imperia
pavilions, partly in ruins, and only occupiet
by Chinese priests, run round its base anC
up its sides, interspersed with trees.
The island is not more than few hundred
yards in circumference, and by no means
calculated for a military position, being com
manded completely by the hill on the RICH
bank of the river.
About mile and half lower down thu
stream there is bluff height connected by
narrow ridge with smaller hill, both cap
ped with joss-houses, and both commanding

Singular Occurrence. A Horse starred 10
death in The Wo5urn Woods.-A very remark
able and distressing case happened this week,
of which we gather the following particulars:
a single horse and Sleigh hired ofMr. Seward
in School street, was driven out in company
with other sleghs on Monday evening. On
returning from Horn Pond, Messrs. l.. and c.
being ahead, in the single sleigh, turned
wrong corner in West Cambridge, when their
friends called 10 them to take a different road.
Mr.. l. suddenly checked his horse and giving
him turn to the left the sleigh Sltted round,
and both gentlemen were thrown out. Un-
fortunately they lost their hold Of the reinS,
and the horse ran with the sleigh in the drcc-
ton whence they came. Search was mmedi-
ately made for the horse and sleigh, which
was continued in all directions, between West
Cambridge and Lowell, on Tuesday and
Wednesday; and on Thursday afternoon the
poor animal was discovered in the woods, Lin
Woburn, with the sleigh still attached 70 him.
lie was chilled and starved, having been there
three days and nights, exposed TO the storm
and cold, and expired ia about ten minutes
after he Wds .foundt He had paved up the
earth for considerable distance around him,
and must have suffered the acutest agonics of
a horrible death.
He was one of Mr.. Stewards most valuable
horses. well known by the name of "Rob
Roy" and was highly priced by him and his
customers Bunker Hill aurora.

THE TRAGEDY OF the SoMERs.-The an
ncxed extract from The Madisonian indicates
the rie ht course-an immediate Court of Inuui-
ry by the highest names in the Maryland
meantime the abstaining from discussion in the
newspapers.
The United States Orig Somers-The
melancholy occurrence on board this ship and
the consequences Of good or Of evil TO those
concerned. require the greatest caution and de-
liberation before the public mind arrives at any
conclusion concerning it. The facts can only
be truly and fully exhibited before the constitu-
ted tribunals Of the country, and it becomes
therefore the duty, as we believe, Of the con-
ducors Of the public press, to abstain, as far as
practicable, from giving expression TO opinions,
until n full and fair investigation is made into
the matter. The Government has ordered that
inquiry. A Court, composed of men of the
highest character, and whose names are most
endearcd to the country, has already been de-
tailed. Justice will be done-full Justice.
We therefore deem it improper TO admit into
our columns any further remarks or comment
upon the subject, except such as the Depart
ment shall authorize. Nothing has yet been
published under lis authority. Justice to the
dead and to the living, alike require that we
should do nothing to prejudice the case in the
mind of the court or Of the country. The hon.
or Of the service and the integrity of the laws,
are safe in the hcnds of the public tribunals.
Let us abide their decision.
The Bankrupt La,c is safe for the residue
Of this week; the bill TO repeal it having been
laid aside in The House of Representatives yes
ierday in order TO go on with the Appropri-
alton Bill, the immediate passage Of which was
almost a matter of necessity. The Bankrupt
Repeal Bill cannot now be resumed in that
body before Monday next, for reason which
the reader will discover on perusing the next
paragraph. Let the friends Of the law, how
ever, deceive themselves with false hopes as to
its fate in Congress. A bill viii certainly pass
for the repeal OF The Bankrupt Act, in part, If
not in whole, before many weeks. Whether
i, will be repealed or modified as from the 6rs.
