date as that lelegraphed from s. Johns on Tuesday

The postponsment in the departure of the big
ship to October 18th is necesstaed by the time re
quirsd by Mr.. ScoTr RUSSELL to repair the dsnsge
oecasioned by the expulsion, and to put the vessel
in the same condition that she was in when she
sailed from the Thames. This contract, however,
does not include any repairs which the boilers may

There is no later news from China. The official
dispatches of Admiral HOPs are Published in the
London Ggzsite, but they add nothing to the nfor-
nation previously received. A letter from China
published in the London Times speaks as follows OF

The London Times in an editOrisl in which it
csnsurss Admiral HOPE for his too great confidence
and consequent defeat, concludes its remarks fol-
lows:
"The news Of this sanguinary repulse will not
