CHINA. (Rom the Hongkong Mail, 29th July.)  The latest dates from Peking are to the 11th July. There is no news of importance. The health of the different members of the foreign legations is good. The rains have begun, rather late in the season.  Our advices from Tien-tsin apprise ns that a treaty has been concluded between Denmark and China. Negotiations were conducted at the capital between Colonel Raasloff, the Danish Minister, and Hang-ki, the mandarin appointed last year to meet Senhor de Gaimarens. Tsung-hau, superintendent of trade for the northern ports, was named joint commisioner with Hang-ki, and the treaty negotiated at Peking, and there signed by Colonel Raasloff and Hang-ki on the 10th inst., was finally signed by Tsang-hart on the 13th inst., at Tien.tsin. Its conditions will, according to custom, not appacr until the ratifications shall have been exchanged a twelvemonth hence; but, with the exception of the right of ministerial residence at  Peking, for which it appears the Danish Minister did not stipulate, it will secure to Danish subjects all privileges enjoyed by other Powers. The Danish flag has been excluded from the benefit of the Provisional Rules under which the Yangtsze kiang is open above Chin-kiang. The treaty, we understand, concedes to the Danes this trade on the same terms as to the elder treaty Powers, and the Chinese Government has so far shown itself friendly as at once to admit all steamers and square-rigged Danish vessels to a participation in the river trade, without waiting for the formality of an exchange of ratifications. The Danes, naturally, have not gained any advantages that are not practically within the reach of other nations, but if our information be correct their treaty has the honour of permanently recording sundry modifications that have been adopted in tle interests of trade in the last two years. The opening of the bean trade, for instance, is established by the disappearance of the old limitation from the Tariff and Commercial Articles. The term within which drawbacks are to be obtainable on Chinese produce carried from one treaty port to another, when re-shipped from the second to a third port, or to a foreign port, is extended by the Danish treaty to twelve months. The coast trade itself, at the half-tariff duty, is also become a treaty right. From Japan there is no decisive news as to the aspect of fature relations. Along with payment of the 440,000 of indemnity money was tendered, as already stated, the information, that the Mikado was positive in his injunctions to the Tycoon's Government to drive all foreigners out of Japan. This may be another way of stating that no security short of foreign retirement can be given against the frequent recurrence of outrages similar to those for which the indemnity was demanded. There was an apology stipulated for, but we cannot learn that it has been given. Moreover, the destruction of the Legation buildings at the Goten-yama, near Yeddo, has yet to be atoned for, and the murderers of Richardson executed, so that it is quite impossible to report matters as settled in Japan; it would be easier at once to predict a permanent state of un settlednesa.  The Shanghae .Recorder has the following star ling item  " The new Port of Osaka, it is confidently expected, will be opened in about three months. The foreigners were still quietly resident at Yokohama, and everything bore a peaceful aspect. A civil war was taking place, and the Tycoon was hemmed in by the troops of the Mikado at Osaka. The Elgin was conveying Japanese troops to the latter place."  „„:
