Since my last several engagements have taken
place between the Taoutac's Imperial army and
the rebels in the city; but, as usual more powder
has been burned than lives lost
But for the past two weeks the army Of the Impe-
ra Taoutae being encsmped on the limits Of the
race course, which belongs to the foreigners, have
been committing various dcpredstions now and then
shooting at the foreigners as they pass along.
Ilese various outrages had been mentioned to
the la. utae by both the British and American Con
sus: the necessity Of their prevention had been
urged upon him, on the ground that If any foreign
ers should be injured by bis lawless soldiers, they,
tie consUls, could not be held responsible for the
protection which foreigners might afford themselves.
Thus things psssed on, till last evening about eve
o'clock, an English lady, escorted by gentleman,
was attacked by o band OF Taoutae's men, the gen.
tleman was wounded severely by several sword cuts,
having nothing but o cane to defend himself, while
the LADY escaped with fright only, although the
chair 10 which she was riding was cut badly in &C.

about the same time at different points the course,

The Duke of Newcastle assented to the importance
OF the colony, not only in respect to JIG mineral
supplies, but to its geographical position with
reference to the Russian possessions and to Canada.
He was forced to admit that the Hudson's Bay
Company had not acted energeticay In it's attempts
to cOlonise, but the disadvantages tho company had
to encounter in the attractions Of emgrants to Gal

eminent, however, had the matter under considers

In the House of Commons, Sir Charles Wood ex-
pressed himself unable to state whether not there
was any truth in the report that the Chinese insur
gents aided by English and Americans, had driven
the imperialists from Shangbae on April 4, as as
serted.
A bitter debate then ensuei on the item Of
voting 1850 for remuneration Of Roman Catholic

After long discussion, Professionalism carried the

The House went into committee on the Stamp
duties bill. The main feature of the debate on

the clause imposing tax on foreign bills Of ex-

majority OF l73 to no. The bill will also bring un-

editorial in the London Times In favor Of retaining

BLOCKADE OF RUSSIAN PORTS.
In the English House OF Commons, on June Is,
Mr.. H0rfal asked whether it was intended to
establish effective blockade Of the Russian ports
in tho Baltic, the Black, and the White Seas, or
whether there was to be distinction In favor Of
foreien fagsi
Sir J. Grsham-I have repeatedly answered cues
ti0ns on this point, and have endeavored to make
my answers clear as q sense of duty would allow
me. Orders we're given some time ago to the admit
rails both in the Black Sea and in the Baltic to in
have every reason to believe that these blockades
have been Instituted. With respect to the Danube,
the government received yesterday information by
telegraph from Admiral Dundas, that the Danube
was b&Ockaded and notification of the circum stance
will appear in the Gazette this evening" We have
not yet received from Admiral Napier any notifca-
tion Of the blockade being instituted in the Baltic
which would justify notification in the GIzeae
similar to that which will take place with regard to
the Danube; but, as l have before stated to the
House, though no such official notification can take
place without detailed information from the admi
rails the respective stations, yet have m doubt
that de acfo these blockades exist; and Of course
whore they exist and the force is effective warning
warning is sufficient when given by the admirals Of
the blockading force. (Hear, hear) need hardly
state that when blockade is instituted, there is no
respect Whatever paid to foreign vessels. With re-
gard 10 the White Sea, have already stated that.
In consequence of communications pending between
the French and English governments, no orders
have yet been sent to blockade the White Sea, but
have reason to believe thst reinforcement of the
squadron will be sent by the French government,
end theu orders will be given to blockade the White
Sea also. (Hear, hear)

A18 PILLS.
FOR ALL THE PURPOSES OF A
FAMILY PLY SIC.

THERE has long existed public demand for an
effective purgative pill which could be relied on as
sure and perfectly safe in its operation. ms mas
been prepared to meet that demand, and an extern
sye trial of its virtues has conclusvely SHOWN WIN
what success it accomplishes the purpose designed
1t is easy to make physical pill, but not easy to
make the best of all pills one which should have
none of the objections, but all the advantages, OF
every other. This has been attempted here, and
with what success we would respectfully submit to
the public decision. 1t has been unfortunate for
the patient hitherto that almost every purgative
medicine is acrimonious and irritating to the DOW
els This is not. Many of them produce so much
gripping pain and revusion in the system as to more
than counterbalance the good to be derived from
them. These pills produce no irritation or pain,
unless it arise from previously existing obstruc-
ton or arrangement in the bowels. Being purely
vegetable, no harm can arise from their use IN any
quantity but it is better that any medicine should
be taken judiciously. Minute directions for their
use in the several diseases to which they are ap-
plicable are given on the box, Among the com
plants which have been speedily cured by them, we
may mention Liver Complaint, in its various forms
of Jaundice Indigestion, Langhor and Loss of APP
petite, Lstlessness, Irritability, Bilious Headache,
Bilious Fever, Fever and Ague, Pain in the Side
and Loins; for in TRUTH all these are but the con-
sequence of diseased action in the liver. AS an
npcrient they afford prompt and sure relief in Cos
tiveness, Piles, Collie, Dyscntery, Humors, Scrof-
ula and Scurvy, Colds with soreness of the body,
Ulcers and impurity of the blood; in short, any
and every case where purgatlve Is required.
They have also produced some singularly sue
eessfu cures in Rheumatism, Gout, Dropsy, Gravel,
Eryspclas, Palpitation of the Heart, Pains in the
Back, Stomach, and Side. They should be freely
taken in the spring of the year. to purify the blood
and prepare the system for the change Of seasons.
An occasional dose stimulates the stomach and
bowels into healthy action, and restores the appe-
tte and vgor. They purify the blood, and, by their
stimulant action on the circulatory system, reno
waite the strength of the body, and restore the
wasted or diseased energies Of the whole organism.
Hence an occasional dose is advantageous, even
though no serious arrangement exists; but I'M
necessary dosing should never be carried too far,
as every purgative medicine reduces the strength,
when taken to excess. The thousand cases in which
physic is required cannot be enumerated here, but
they suggest themselves to the reason of every
body; and it is confidently believed this pill will
answer better purpose than any thing which has
Hitherto been available to mankind. When their
virtues are once known, the public will no longer
doubt what remedy to employ when in need of
cathnrtic medicine
