CHINA.  (Pram the Offrilla ',Vied of Chipso, of August 10.)  In eeriest report lassos (Hong Kong) we told of the repulse of the English and French forces from the forte at the Illtrapos of the Peiho river, and the consequent return of the French and English ministers to Shanghni. We have intelligence from Shanghai to the 'lad of August, but in connexion with these painful matters nothing of any moment has since oocurred.  'flu Majesty's steamer Cruiser and gunboats Sterling and Forester still remain in the golf of Pahlli, the rest of the defeated Nucleon being at anchor principally off the entrance of the Ningpo river. The Aaiseidas plenipotentiary, Ward, is still ea board the steam ship Powhattan, in the gulf of Peskin, and is as unlikely apparently to obtain a ratification of the treaty made by his predecessor, Mr. Reed, as either Mr. Bruce or M. Bourbon= those concluded by the Earl of Elgin and Baron Gros. Of the Russians not • word is heard; but it is still supposed that they are in the background, and that it was by their aid oar repulse was effected. Still there is no proof of this that we know of; while a French traveller from St. Petersburg to Shanghai, via Pekin, =sorts that the members of the Russian =lesion are treated very cavalierly by the Pekingites, and hardly dare to show themselves in the streets.  desert or later the truth must cease out in resod to Chins, that the foreigners there have chiefly their own stupidity to blame for the hostility of the Chinese. Hiyiug, the most faithful and intelligent Mead of our interests In China, was compelled to setae& suicide by the Imperial Court because—and we make the charge with pain—he was so slighted and set aside by Lord Elgin's mission that the Imperial Court wee led to believe he had been deceiving it es to his knowledge of and interest with foreignersEwei-liang and Hes-Ghana were so slighted by Mr Dense refusing to ass them at Shanghai, that Prince Senn-ko-lin-sin, the head ef the war party, was raised to influence. Now there are indica. tires that the brutal outbreak and aseassination at Shanghai will be treated in a manner calculated to Immo the evil from which it sprung. Between the coolie and the coolie trader it is a matter of six of the one and half a down of the other. There is oceasionally fraud on both sides, and there may, very rarely, be cases of kidnapping. It is too provoking Co have our safety in China eadanpred by the quarrel, of a few loose Portuguese and French cc  /Ike one wide, with lying,lambling ellipses= on this , ether. In epithet the Mini= win made &bent a hw individual cases, the bonellts of the balk are largely in favour of the Chinese; and therefore, since they choose to make it an occasias foe riot, we should be justified in closing it altogether. Bat to do this at the priest j tincture—to dismiss, as we hear  the French minister diroatenstodednoet of the coolies in the dertrade,would be to commit one of those weak end ill-judged sots which always lay the foundation of Mare trouble. If the Chinamen of Shanghai are to be loosened from their engagements and allowed to pocket the benefits, by the somewhat simple expedient of ripping open the stomachs of a few of the respectable foreigners resident there, they will be DIM to find other engagements in which similar means may be useful. If they are allowed to escape with impunity, or an approach to it, they will probably have recourse to that gentle pressure whenever they have any other point which they desire to carry against foreigners.
