CHINA  PROGRESS OF THE RESELLION.—FALT, OF SHANGHAI. HONG KONG, Sem 27. The departure of the mid-monthly mail left thh with intelligence of the near approach of that fled dissolution which must inevitably remove the Tartan dynasty, and work a great change in the constitutims and prospects of this vast empire. Notwithstanding all the imperial edicts, regardless of the thralls sod promises alternately in the mouth of the reigning monarch and his viceroys, the civil war continues to make progress—the rebellion advances with a degree of rapidity that justifies the conjecture that many months cannot pass without witnessing the complete and final expulsion of the Mantchas fr the Throne of China. Insurgency  has not merely become general throughout vait etopire—it has become a trade. Under the guise of aiding the common or popular cause, adventurers have rushed forward, and, in the name of patriotism, seized all available property within reach. What was began' by a small band of patriots promises to be consummated by the powerful combination known as the Triad Mutilation, whose growing influence is unmistakeably apparent, and whose numbers are daily swelled by accessions from all clesseau the only means of safety. At the date of my last letter it wee known and currently stated that about 10,000 members of the trade society were in the city of Shanghai end that it was apprehended that they would male an attack oe, and ultimately effect the capture the city. This expected movement was noticed is my mid-monthly letter, and the present mail clayey. to Europe confirmatory intelligence of the design. The city of Shanghai has fallen, and is now in the hands of the trade society. Sanaa, the chid authority, having escaped the slaughter, found refs. in the residence of the American consul, from whom residence he succeeded in effecting his escape: It b said that the Shanghai rebels are not acting is concert with those at Nankin, but it is mesa generally believed that they are in corresponds's', with the rebel camp, and that the capture of the city was undertaken at their direction. It is believed that several other cities have fallen, the Triads haring determined on a simultaneous movement elsewhere to strike terror into the heart of the Imperialists before venturing to attack Pekin. The only recent accounts from the metropolis of the empire are contained in the official notifications published in the Pekin Gazette, which afford evidence that the Emperor does not consider himself secure, although surrounded by the choicest troops from the mountain ranges—hardy warriors, better acquainted with hill warfare than the manoeuvres of a campaign. £MOY, Sm. 19. Since the Ist instant the Mandarin and Rebel forces have been fighting, after their fashion, almost daily, but as yet without any decisive results; and unless the rebels, from want of stores, or owing to quarrel.s amongst themselves, have to give it up— not at all improbable—we do not think the Mandarins will, as they fight at present, ever take the city. The Imperialists are now encamped to the eastward as well u to the north of the town, and number in all 10,000 men ; the rebels sent out to meet them are fully as numerous, and as well armed, but no close fighting ever takes place.  AUSTRIAN JEALOUSY OF PauseLt.--The understood peesielnass of the Prussian cabinet in an independent polities on the Erten question, and the failure of the meat attempt to iodate a union of Freesia with Austria, prejudicial to the efforts of the western powers, has esseed a chines of feeling between the two cabinets, which the Kona Zedeng thus notices:—" It is tiaras' that at the lament of the return of liaron de Prokesch-d'Osten to  Frankfort, the Austrian Press should publish articles hostile to Prussia. The Augsbarg Gazette of the 3rd, sad the Post Assp Gazette of the 4th, contain articles declaring that Prusaia is tending to fora a Bond/aloud, and is making anti-federal drifts. It appears that certain plans which were issagised have fallen to the ground, and that RIM the ezplaaation of the anger of these journals. At all events, Baron de Prokesch-d'Osten has no great reason to  be too well pleased with bis sojourn at Berlin. Greet Ito. 'Ailment is felt that Austria, who desires the maintenance  of pesos, should tolerate such aggressive articles against Prussia."' _ _  ATTEMPTS AT SUICIDE DT • PRlsoicua.-0a Wednesday morning, about half-past one o'clock, a woman, 27 years of age, residing in High-erossstreet, Nottingham, and named Jane Almy, was mopesheaded on a chugs of wilfully tweaking a square of glass in the Milton's Head public.home.
