eE3By the arriva. Of the steam ship North Amer
lea and City of Baltimore advces are received from
Europe to the 18th inst. The most important news
is that from China. The French and English PIE
nipotcntiaries having arrived off the river Peho,
below Pekin, on the 18th Of June, found that the
Notifications had been rebuilt. and the entrance OF
the river barred. No notice having been taken OF
their arrival by the Celestial Government, the Pie
nipotentiaries on the 25th joined the squadron I'M
der Admiral Hope, and attempted to force passage
ND the river to the capital when batteries which
had been masked, were uncovered, and deadly fire
was opened upon the squadron, which was returned
with spirit but after action the force resl-
red with loss of three g,ln-boats, and 464 killed
and wounded Among the killed were seven Off
GERS. and among the wounded seventeeen-Admiral
Hope among the latter. The French force consisted
of only sixty, Of whom fourteen were killed anu
wounded. This gross violation of treaty sti2ula-
tions will most likely lead to another war; The A
merican bassador is said to have been quietly and
peacefully admitted at Pekn-a fact which excites
til. ire of the London Times.
A feed pipe had exploded the Great Eastern,
killing FIVE fircmcn, and wounding many more.

highly satisfactory and her departure for the Uni

Once, just after she took the vows, she was
i'll, and was ordered to put her feet in warm
water. The Sister lithuanian brought it,
Sister Corona tried it, and said that it was too
hot; but the lithuanian declared that it was
as it should be; and the dear soul was so meek
and SO firm that she plunged her poor feet in
directly, without saying another word, and kept
them there, as she was bidden for twenty miser-
able minutes, without so much as writing,
though when she took them out at last, and
wiped them, all the skin came off on the towel.
