THE NEw CHINESE War Decided steps
have already been taken in England toward the
prosecution Of the new Chinese war. A great
quantity Of fixed ammunition has been already
packed to be forwarded BY the overland route,
and still larger quantities are being packed for
transportation around the Cape Of Good Hope
A thousand marines. two light infantry regi-
ments, and large detachments from the rife
brigade, are TO proceed at once over land and
already squadron has sailed designed TO reen-
force the British feet in the Chinese waters In
addition to frigates and other vessels, fifty gun
boats, it is stated, are to be dispatched on this
service. These vessels are, indeed, very indis-
pensable 10 operations in the north OF China,
where the shallowness Of the water along the
coast makes ii inaccessible to vessels of much
draft. France, too, is said TO be making pre-
perations to send out ships and men and pros
badly the forces lately employe ed ia the Franco
Spanish Cochin Chinese expedfion-thas war
having resulted in satisfactory concessions on
the part of the Cochin Chinese will now be
directed against Pekin. Should, indeed, the
war be carried on upon the extent indicated, .
far more formidable European force will be as
sembled in China than has ever appeared there
before. II would be an easy matter for such q
force to take possession Of Pekis, and TO reduce
the Imperial Government to such terms as they
might choose to dictate.

hickory club, on Saturday evening last, wound :

fore Justice Harris yesterday who held him in
bonds Of $4,000 to appear before the District
Court and answer to the charge He was una
bile to give the required bail, and was therefore
sent to Jail. The cause of this cowardly assault
is unknown, but ir is supposed some previous
il.ieelng existed between the two men, which
broke oct into open hostility on Saturday.
The club, which we examined, is a large
hickory one. about A feet long, aud weighing
probably six pounds, and it ~ Astonishing to vi
that Mr.. Keit Was not killed imme ediately.
