September. This delay of three weeks is the time
in which Mr.. Scott Russell contracts to repair the
damage OccasiOned by the explosion, and to put the
vessel in the same condition that she was in when
she sailed from the Thames. This contract, how
ever, does not include any repairs which the boil
ers may be found to require, and although they
apparently sustained no damage, an investigation
is said to have shown that the internal stavs of the
boiler most directly exposed to the shock have
either been displaced greatly weakened, so that
the boiler cannot be safely used in the present
state.
The Daily Necs states that the Government have
decided on despatchng several additional steam fri
gates and corvetes together with sufficient num-
Der OF sailing trigates, to augment the squadron in
China 1t is also expected that force of 900 ad-

dress expresses hope that the conditions of peace
which his Majesty is about to dictate will be cacu-
lated To alleviate tho ,vb; 20,
threaten the future of Veneta. The address is 81
lent respecting the return of the Archdukes.
The Paris papers, almost without exception,
express satisfaction at the announcement of an An
gio-trench expedition against China; and several
OF them add hope that the union of the two flags
against common enemy will strengthen the alli-
ance between the two countries, and dispel recent
rumors of a rupture
The BOurse had been firmer and Rentes had ad-
!vanced to 6s95, at which they closed on the 10th
instant.
ITALY.
The latest news from Italy leave little doubt of
the determination of the Italians to rely on them
selves. Garibaldi was preparing general concen-
tration of troops on any given point. Gen. Fanti
Commander-in-chief of the troops of the Italian
League had fixed his headquarters at Bologna; the
soldiers disbanded by Victor Emmanuel were flock
ing around him.
Letters from Rome state that the health Of the
Pope was almost entirely restored.
The Vienna correspondent of the London Times
soon be abolished.

in Naples, and no reforms are to be expected. A
new Anti-Retorm Ministry spoken of. The

''Therefore, | need not say to you persevere. |
Will only congratulate you upon the order and mod
Grafton, of which you have given such brilliant ex-
amples, in order to prove to Europe that the ItaI
ians know how to govern themselves, and are
worthy to be citizens of free nation"
The Deputations had met with most enthusiastic
reception from the citizens of Turin.
The Austrian Gazette in remarking on the recent
article in the Wonie1r, argues that, the restora
tion of the Italian princes has not been effected,
chiefly owing to the influence of Sardinia, Aus
tria, consequently, is not bound to carry out the
concessions she has made, including the cession of
Lombardy.
CHINA
can Eyewitness" in letter to the London
Times thus speaks of the attitude of the Americans
that in connection with this BATTLE should be
remembered. Were we children of the same mother
we could not have received more sympathy and
kindness than we met with from the Americans
Never were men more unwillingly neutral As we
passed in to the assault, Flag Officer Tatnall was
heard to say, Blood is thicker than water' and in
hundred different ways he and all his people, to
the very cabin boys, acted up to this hOmeIy pro-
verb. When he heard that our Admiral was wound
ed at great personal risk he went on board the
Cormorant to see him. Many of our men slept in
the Toewan, American tender, the night of the
fight; cigars, coffee, brandy, everything a man
could want, was placed before them. The Ameri-
can crew forgot themselves, and thought only of
the British.
ga few days after the fight, a Chinese junk, with
a flag of truce, brought fresh provisions to the
Powhatan, United States frigate. These were i'm
mediately sent to our wounded. The bond of Amer
lean brotherhood was indeed deeply cemented in
our trial at the Pe-h3. | believe there was not a
man in the fleet who did not feel it growing I'D
within him, and am sure there are thousands, if
may not say millions, at both sides of the Atlantic
who will join me in the fervent wish that that feel
ing of brotherhood may take deeper and deeper
root in both lands"
LONDON, Saturday, Sept 1.-THE Daily Ne,cs of
this morning announces that Government have re-
solved to send at military force to China,
and to send it from India
The Times saws there are about 5 900 rather
wrong-headed soldiers in the vicinity of Calcutta
waiting passage home, and the object should be
to divert them from the west TO the east Assum-
ing, however, their re-engagement impracticable.
there is still in India force large enough to over
come even the mighty Chinese Empire.
