Important from China.

The latest accounts from China are by
way Of Vancouver's Island, taken there by
the barque Sea Nymph. By this arrival
we have news of the renewal of hostities
between the Chinese and the English and
FRENCH on the 25th of June at the mouth
of the river Pei-ho. The affair SCENE to
have grown out of misunderstanding of the
preiminaries to the exchange of treaties
between the allied ministers and the
Chinese authorities, consequent on which an
attempt was made by Admiral Hope to fol ce
the passage of the Pei-ho, at that date, in
which he was repulsed with considerable
loss.
The North China Herald says that the TO-
tai loss is as follows: British total killed and
wounded, 464. French 4 killed and 0 woun
ded Gnclndng Captain Tricault of the ebay
la, wounded in the arm) The following is
the total loss Of the Marine Brigade alone:
Killed. officer, 2 sergeants, l corporal
and "a rank and file; total. o. Wounded
--l5 officers, / 3 sergeants, bugers, cor
porals and l04 rank and file; total 142
Total killed and wounded of the Marine
Brigade, no.
The Chinese Overland Trade Report says,
that when the two gunboats sent by the al
lied squadron TO the mouth of the Peiho
with dispatches announcing the arrival Of
the ministers arrived, they found the river
heavily staked, but contractor superintend-
ing some Ct the villagers stated that the
works were undertaken for protection against
pirates, and that the stakes would be remov-
el. The gunboats advanced to the attack
under the impression that the batteries
were masked to conceal scarcity of guns.
No reconnaissance was made, and there
was nothing to prevent the gunboats Smelling
the forts out of The range of the guns of the
latter, and no reason why the land and sea
attacks should not have been made simulta-
nsously. AS it was, the land force was only
enabled to operate by the assistance in tow
inc of an American steamer. The force was
landed in mud SO soft that the wounded
could not rise after having fallen, and the
fifty tout of 1000 landed) who reached the
fort had not even a dry cartridge. 1t is as
serted, at Shanghai, that the Emperor has
expressed sorrow at the occurrence, and Or
dered the leaders decapiated. The O0er-
land Trade Report also takes the ground
that the attack of the British will be diff
cult to Justify.
