Advlces BY the Asia are to the 18th ult, from which
we extract the following intelligence:
THB GREAT EAsTERN.--As before announced. the
Great Eastern will leave Portland, Weymouth. on her
trial trip on the sth Of October instead Of the l7th
| of September, and finally sail from Holyhesd for
Portland Me- on the goth Of October, instead OF the
29th September. This delay of three weeks ia The
time in which Mr. Scott Russell contracts TO rena;r
the damage occasioned by the explosion and 10 mt
the vessel in the same condition that she was when
she sailed from the Thames. The contract, however
| does not include any repairs which the boilers NAV
be found to require, and although they apparently
sustained no damage investigation Is said to have
shown that the internal stays Of the boiler most d.
recty exposed to the force Of the shock have either
been displaced or greatly weakened, 30 that the
boiler cannot be safely used in its present state
A writer IN the Times urges that the Great East.
ern be sent to China with troops. We quote:
Let the trial trip Of the Great Eastern be to the
waters of China arm her with Armstroug's guns OF
the best and lightest rifed cannon, and embark 10
her sufficient force Of infantry, engineers and ar.
tillery, and let her make q summer voyage to the
Yang,tse. kiang. which she may accomplish 10 six
such an armament at such ! time from these shores
would have moral, we'll ~ material effect, not to
DO otherwise produced. No delay need occur in the
equipment Of The Great Eastern for it may be pre-
snmed aftst me recent disaster, that it will not be
mirrors and gliding, nor that the men who are TO
achieve such success would require them"

shat 1900 French troops had been ordered to be
held In readiness to depart for China. Gen. Wimp.
fen was talked Of for the command.
The Paris papers, almost without an exception, ex
press satisfaction at the announcement Of an Anglo
French Expedition against China, and several of
them add . hope that the union OF the two flags
against common enemy will strengthen the alliance
between the two countries and dspel recent rumors
of rupture.

League, has fixed his headquarters at Bologna the

Pope was almost entirely restored.
me Times Vienna correspondent says, it is evil
dent that Prince Metternich's mission led to the re-
cent note in the Paris Moniteur, but it will hardly
cany. At the same aas Austria Continues u to in.
crease her military strength in Italy where there are
now probably 1000 or 100 900 French troops.
The Austrian Gazette, in remarking on the recent
article in the Monteur argues that as the restora-
ton Of the Italian Princes had not been effected.
chlehy owing to the influence Of Sardinia, Austria
consequently is not bound to carry out the conces
sions she has made, including the cession of Lom.

BRITISH TESTIMONY TO AMERICAN HUMANITY.
The City Of Baltimore and Vanderbilt brought US
ample details OF the disaster at the mouth of the
Peho, but the papers now at hand contain additional
particulars. IAN eyewitness" in q letter to the
London Times, thus speaks Of the attitude of the
Americans:
u cannot end vithou. referring. to one matter
that, in connection with this battle, should ever 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 unwingly neutral As we
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 homely proverb.

great personal risk he went on board the Cormorant

American tender on the night of the fight cigars,
coffee, brandy, everything man could want, was
placed before them. The American crew forgot |
themselves, and thought only of the British. A few
Jays after the fight Chinese junk. with a flag of
truce, brought fresh provisions to the Powhattan |
United States rigate. These were Immediately sent

food was indeed deeply cemented in our trial at the

sure there are thousands, if may not say millions
IN both sides of the Atlantic, who will join me in
he fervent wish that that feeling of brotherhood
nay take deeper and deeper root in both landsn
The Times, in an editorial in which it censures |
Admiral Hope for his too great confidence and con.
equent defeat. concludes its remarks as follows;
" 1t is more easy to found than to restore supre
macy but in the execution of the duty which de. |
yolves upon England and France, it is an unmstaka |
de satisfaction to find that we may rely, at all |
vents, on the sympathes of the great Anglo.Saxon |
Republic. Whatever may be the result of the fight
England will never forget the day when the deeds |
md words of kindly Americans sustained and com.
orted her stricken warriors on the waters of the
oeiho.'
The official dispatches of Admiral Hope are pub.
ished in the Gazette, but adds little in importance
o the account already published.
