The Capture ofNankin by the Reb-


The N. Y Commercial, in announcing tho
capture of Nankin. publishes the following
despatch received by Merchant of London,
from Trieste:
"The Hong Kong Gazette Of April 22d
confirms this information. and says that the
capture effected on the 21st of March
1t adds, how yer. the important intelligence
thai the insurgents were subsequently COMPEL
ed 10 evacnate the city. and that on the 9Th OF
April they were defeated in an engagement
with the Imperial troops, about thirty miles
'south of the city of Nankin.''
There was also in circulation in London, al
the closing of the Africas mails,a report to this
effect-"Shanghae abandoned" The infor
nation. however, was too vague to produce
much effect, for ii was impossible to decide
whether Shanghai was abandoned" by the
European residents, by the people generally,
by the Imperial forces or by the Insurgents
The most probable version seems to be the
latte-; or that they had abandoned all attempt
on Shanghae after being copelcd 10 evacuate

II is stated that another despachreceived in

Or cotton was good, but in consequence of the
want ofrain the weed is very small, and conse

In some of the countries not more than a
