Mr.. Cushing i'm China.

els is given in the New York True Sun:
At Bombay Mr.. Gushing was the guest
Of Sir George Arthur, former Governor
of Upper Canada. During the period of
his brief stay, he found time, in company
with Mr.. Fletcher Webster, and Mr..
O'Donnell, an Gttache Of the Legation, to
make an interesting excursion 10 the Nah
rata country-one which pleased them far
more than they could possibly have anti
cipated. The journey was made partly in
coaches and partly in palanquins. They
went as far as Poonah, situate on the south
western part Of the Deccan, in Central
India, and formerly the cal i;ol Of the
Mahrattas. 1t is somewhat celebrated for
having been captured in 1873, by Sir Ar
thur Wellesley and the Iron Duke Here
the travellers saw the largest environments
Of English troops in India, and attended a
grand review, where the American Min
lister received the highest military honors.
They also visited celebrated Brahmin
temple, being carried there on the backs
of the sacred elephants, and escorted by
the English Political Resident, Mr.. War
den, who is favorably known to many Of
our countrymen, after whom he enquired
with great interest. 5li
Mr.. Gushing resided in China exactly
six months, to day, and during the whole
period was constantly engaged in prcmot-
ing the object Of his mission. BY the
non-arrival Of the St. Louis sloop Of war,
which lay, very singularly, a long time at
the Cape, and through the continued OBJ
stacles Of the northern monsoon, he was
under the necessity Of remaining at Macao
until the Imperial parliament actually an
ticipated his movements by despatching q
commission to him. II consisted Of Isl
Yeng, an imperial delegate and plcnipo-
Tertiary; Wang, treasurer ofthe provinces
Of the two Kwangs, and Pwan Pwan, an
other high dignitary of stale.
Y Tsi Ycng Is Tartar Of the Imperial
blood, and the same person who negotiated
with Sir Henry Po.tinger. Hisname, we
might as well state here has been errone-
ously spelled Kying in the English news
papers. This parsonage seemed to have
the full confidence Of his sovereign, as he
was appointed, with all the powers Of a
plcnipotentiary, TO negotiate with the
French and American Legations, as soon
as they arrived.
For two weeks the two Commissioners
were employed day and night, with the
exception of their meal times and few
hours given to repose, in discussing and
arranging the various questions in contro-

in negotiating the treaty now before the
Senate of the United States It was at
last agreed upon and drawn up in Chi
nese and English, but finally prepared in
the Tartar dialect, which is the language
Of the Emperor.
1t was signed al ten o'clock at night on
the Sd Of July last, in the. Sanctuary 81
the Temple we have already mentioned,
md from which, as we have stated in part,
the priests and their idols had been previ-
ously displaced, without the slightest hes
itation, TO make room for the Commissioner
and his suite. This circumstance confirms
the opinion entertained by many residents
in China, that at the Imperial Court there
is no particular regard paid to any relig-
ion.
= Mr.. Gushing has left for Washington,
where he will remain fortnight.
