Niieep Worrying —A case of considerable importance arising from dogs killing sheep comes on in Our District-Court next week. A statement regarding tne law of such a ; case in .England fell under our notice' lately in a home paper, and we intended giving a copy of it, hut have not space The substance of it is that the dog whose owner is accused must be traced out, identified, and proved to be of vicious disposition, and dangerous to sheep ; and the owner must'be proved to have known this and to have been negligent in not providing against it. 'l’.his-rule was made by the Ho use of Lords, and given effect to in a case of. appeal from the Court of Session in Scotland.

WELLINGTON. - 1 (From our own Correspondent.) j

■ Monday morning, Dec. 10, 186 Q. We have had a whole week of politics ; [the all-engrossing topic up and down the,beach, “ Well, what’s to he the state of the poll ?” “Who do you vote for?” Committee meetings, both sides, held every night; busi ness almost suspended. 7’he nomination takes place to-day at 12 o’clock, and to-morrow for the tug of war. I, have posted myself well uj), and-think the result will be that Featherston tops the poll, and, will have at least 50 votes, most . probably more, more .. than the ’ a licalj leaih r Wakefield ; this is ominous in itself. JVext. in . rotation comes Taylor, TJhodes, Aowler, Wakefield, and Park at tlie bottom. .You must not believe the gross statements put forth in the r Advertiser; to-mor-row’s issue will,make them “ eat their leek.” Some of the leading men of the party don’i disguise that they have -no chance of getting in more than one man, and if they do so-wiil he satisfied —don’t they wish they may get it ! B great number will not vote at all, more especially on the Rowdy side; there will also be a good deal of splitting votes. By the Wonga Wonga, which sails to-morrow afternoon for your place, I trust I shall be enabled to give the final state of the poll, at any rate pretty near, so that it may be published in Thursday's Chronicle. Mr. Dudley Ward, your late District Judge, ami liis lady, sailed yesterday by the Lord Ashley for England. There is no news of any moment worth noticing. Not a single candidate has yet been announced, or likely to he, for any of the other districts, although Dr. Welch has been touting and feeling his way to obtain a seat; hut no go, as the electors have seen enough of this unassuming “ ship’s cook.” Tuesday, \ past 4 p.m.

As indicated in my epistle on Monday, although not a prophet, tlie then probable state of the poll is correct, although I am surprised to find such a large majority for the Constitutional party. I invariably try to keep within the margin, so that you may not mislead your readers. In giving the state of the poll from our polling clerks, please , hear in mind that the list lias to be checked ; as it is not. at all unlikely that some*parties may have voted twice, there being now two polling booths, fine at, 'le Aro and the other at the Resident Magistrate’s Court. I annex particulars:

Four o’ clock. —Featherston, 305 ; Taylor, 302; Rhodes, 301 ; Bowler, 223 ; Wakefield, 206 ; Park, 203. 7'his. result now decides not only the elections of this province, but all New Zealand. I’liere is no chance of opposition in our quar ter, as the Rowdies are so nonplussed, that they will not he in a hurry again to afford us an opportunity, as Jonathan would say, of giving them “a tarnation good licking.”* How Stafford had mistaken his host! He fancied that by sending down the writs quick Wellington would bejsafe for him, and that Featherston and Co.,’through the hold and correct views they advocated, would not meet favour with the Wellington electors. Poor man ! he ought to have a correspondent who will take the trouble to make himself better acquainted with the wishes of the people, , and to give him better advice in future. . This is. written in great haste, being anxious to communicate the day’s result.

CANADA.-

The Prince of "Wales.— -The NeW’ York papers contain copious reports of. the progress of the Prince from their special correspondents in Canada, from • which tlie following are extracts : —“ For the reception of the Prince at Quebec, on the 18th August, the streets were dressed with evergreens, and triumphal arches were erected. Troops appeared everywhere along the route in a regular line/aml in the streets promiscuously. As his Royal //ighness passed along, the cannon thundered, the flags waved, and tlie people cheered. Scotchmen with bagpipes, volunteer rifle corps, artillery men, infantry, common councilmen, < and citizens in carriages escorted them;: 'i/e looked fat, sunburnt, and pleased, and gratefully picked up the bouquets that were showered upon his youthful head. Tlie Prince attended divine service at the Anglican cathedral'oil the ]9th, dressed in plain clothes./ At tlje levee both tlie Speakers were knighted.'M’hen the Prince was fishing at the-Saguenay yiVer, he and Mr. Price became separated .from ;thq small party ~of five. .

Prince -back /upon his shoulders to the shore. ‘ -The: .visit- of the Prince to the Chaudiere Falls was the cause of much amusement. The Prince was to go to Chuudiere Falls, but the rain fell in torrents, and the Duke of Newcastle, thought it best for him not to go. The Priiic'e looked from the window, and having concluded it, would clear up, de. cided to go. After the,party had wandered around the Falls, lunch was served in a little hut during a drenching shower, and the whole party passed the hour in such a jolly way as made the old gentlemen roar with laughter and shake with - coughing..-.'’.The Prince opened several bottles of Seltzer water, holding them in such a manner that-the corks fell upon Newcastle’s pate, much to the amusement of kill who saw him. Z'hey returned to the steamer wet to the skin, but Full of good cheer and pleased. ; /• The Prince left 1 Quetiec on the 23rd, and reached Montreal! onnthe 24th, but, owing to unfavourable weather/■ did not land till tlie next morning; Ife iwas met on the wharf by the Mayors and Corporation, the members of the Government, the members of Parliament., the Commander of the Forces, attended by a numerous staff, and the Anglican and Roman bishops and clergy, &c.

After receiving and replying to the address oftlie Mayor and City Council, the Prince drove in procession through the principal streets to the Exhibition, which waf opened with great eclat. His reception was very enthusiastic, and the line of route was beautifully decorated/! His Royal Highness proceeded in tlie afternoon to lay the cornerstone of ihe Victoria bridge. A considerable number were invited.to witness the ceremony, after which the Prince partook of luncheon at the ’ buildings of the Grand Trunk Railway Company, and returned to the residence of the Commander of the Forces, which" Was specially fitted, np for himself 'aiKi suite.

Holloway's Ointment and Pills. —lnfluenza, Colds—ln diseases of the throat and chest, so prevalent in this country during the winter, nothing so speedily relieves or so certainly cures; as these remedies. These disorders are two ofteifneglected at their commencement, or are injudiciously treated, resulting, in either case, in disastrous consequences. Whatever the condition of the patient, Holloway’s msdiciues will restore if recovery be possible ; they will retard the alarming symptoms tili the blood is purified and nature consummates the cure, gradually restoring strength and vital nervous '"powers. By persevering in the use of Holloway’s preparation, tone is conferred on i lie stomach and frame generally; the fluids are regeneraied, morbific matter is expelled, ami a happy revolution occurs through the system.

EUBUPEAN NEWS TO 26th SEPT,

ENGLAND. Parliament was prorogued on the. 28th August by Commission. The number of //cts passed during the session was 155 public ami 202 local acts During the last twelve months 30 new members have been returned to Parliament. The Queen left Balmoral on the 17th, and embarked on a visit to Berlin on the 25th September. The Great Eastern, after her return from //merica, had been put on the gridiron ai Milford Huven, to have her bottom scraped and painted. On the Ist September 11,000 volunteers were reviewed by the Earl of Derby in Knowsley Park • Several hundreds of Englishmen and Scotchmen have left for Garibaldi’s army, under the name of “ Excursionists.”

It was said that Sir Henry Barclay would be appointed to the Governorship of Bombay. .The whole, of the press express astonishment" and'regret at the repulse, at Pulcetakauere, blame Colonel Gold severely, and consider it absolutely necessary that more troops should be sent out to crush the rebellion. A deputation, con-i-ting of Messrs. David Graham, IV. S. Drahame, Wort, Mitlian, Johnston, Kellnim, Williamson, .Fell, and Morrison, bad an interview with the Under Secretary of State for the CoLini.es on the ,24th Sept., for tbe purpose of obtaining information assto the additional, assistance to be sent to New Zealand. They were informed that another regiment 'would' be sent out. . The disputes between Mr. Scott Bussell and the Great Ship Company, relating to tbe Great Eastern, have at length been decided by the ai’bßrators,,Messrs:'Uawkshaw.M’Lean, and Fowler, awarding him the sum of £, 18“000. -. The work s of restoration in St. Paul’s Cathedral is going on rapidly, but it will be some time before all the contemplated improvements are completed. The organ screen has b£en removed, ami an uninterrupted view has tliu been obtained from the great western door to tiie altar window at tbe eastern extremity of the choir. A new organ has been purchased, and it will be placed in a suitable part of. the. Cathedral. *

It appears from the, summary of wreck;-, during the month of August, published by the Shipping Gazette, that the number reported was 90. In the month of January there wore in February 154,. in A/arch 166, in A\m\ 133, in M«y 124, in June 146, ; and in July 60, making a total during the present year of .1,1 08. Tlie /Feekly Reporter says, that Cardinal JFiseman is ordered to remain for the pre sent in a state of perfect repose. He has to recover, not so much from the fatigue of lib journey as from the effects of a second operation for diabetes. This was most skilfully performed at Paris by Mr. C. 7/awkins, who was summoned for that purpose by telegraph. It will require some time of careful attention and perfect rest before the results of tlie painful remedy can be attained, and the wound healed.

From the Ist September 1859 to the 31st August 1860, the number of days on which rain or snow has fallen is 194, the proportion of wet to dry days being 53, jv\ or more than half. The majority of the''remaining days have been dull, though dry. On Saturday Ist a general review took place of the Bristol ’Volunteer Artillery and 77fle Corps by the Inspector General ot Volunteers, Golonel McMurdo, and the dis trict inspectors, Majors 77ume and "Dick.

The Prince of Wales’visit to New Bruns wick, so graphically described by the special correspondent of the 7’imes, is likely to direct much public attention to that fine agricultural province, where land of the best quality for ail agricultural purposes may be obtained at about ss. an acre, payable by instalments. General Avezzaiio sailed from. Liverpool on 13tli Sept, in the steamer Frankfort, to join Garibaldi at Naples. 7’iiis distinguished rejfugee was minister of War at Koine in the year 1848. . He is sixty-five years of age, but apparently in excellent health, and full of enthusiasm and energy. The steamers Meander and Damascus (late of the Gunard /Service) have also' been purchased for Garibaldi, and will be despatched with the Cambria immediately. Garibaldi Volunteers.— The Ziverpool Mercury states, that, more gentlemen offered to join tlie excursion to Naples tliancould-be accepted! Amongst the number who have enrolled their names are several naval and military officers who are intent on aiding the brave Italians in their struggle for liberty.

Grain from California. —lncredible as 'i seems, the prices of grain in England last spring were sufficiently high to tempt shipments from. California. San Francisco advices of 31st. July mention, that at that moment six ships were loading wi*h wheat and oats —two of which were for England, and the remainder for Australia and New Zealand. Barley also had been sent to Chili in considerable' qtian titles.

Scandal in High Life. —The return of the Boscawen lias given publicity to an affair of the most painful character. It will be recollected that the Governor of < the Cape, Sir George Grey, with Lady Grey, took passageto the colony in the, Forte, 50, screw,'bearingtbe flag of Bear Admiral the Hon. Sir IP. Keppel, the newly, appointed commander-in-chief of tbe station. On the passage circumstances came to the knowledge of S\r George Which resulted in the.landing of her Ladyship at Bio, and his Excellency, proceeded to tlm Cape, leaving his wife, to. return-to,England;: Immediately the Forte.'reached the colony*. Admiral Keppel shined his fln: t < the. Brisk,., and proceeded to a distant, part <.,f bis station. The affair, we understand.. has east’a shade over the rejoicings with w ! ieh it was proposed" to celebrate the reimw <*t -I!,iu 'Governor of~ ; the colony, where be is exceedingly popular; and it is felt that either his Excellency tho Governor or tbe //dmiral mut. retire, if the latter be not superseded by the .authorities at home: or the interests of the colony would suffer from tbe impossibility of there existingany cordial understanding between tbe two, chiefs after such an occurrence as that referred ; to. — M>. ring Herald.

The Wool sales, which began 30th July and closed 19th August, were well attended, and prices kept up till within about a week of the close, when, from the fear of a bad harvest, a reduction - took place. About 92,000 bales were sold. Mr. 11. P. //ughes writes in his Oil cu'ar, “ New Zealand of good‘quality, clean, and lengthy in tbe staple, was well competed for The practice of packing greasy fleeces with washed wool, it is much to be regretted, is still in too many instances resorted to, and is most injurious to the sale.” New Zealand wool brought—Scoured fine, *2s to ' 2s 6d ; Scoured skin, Is 9d to Is lid; fine clean, fleeces, Is lid to 2s 3d ; inferior, Is 6d to, Is 9d; unwashed fleeces, lid to Is 4d; .lauih, wool Is 6d to Is lOd per il*.

INSURRECTION IN CALABRIA.

GAR!BAL’D!’/S’ PROGRESS.

A full account of Garibaldi’s progress in Calabria, the capture of 7?eggio,. and the. subsequent capture of all the Neapolitan positions on the continental shores of the Straits,, appears in the' correspondence of the daily,papers, from which we make tlie following extracts: > -

7mmediately on landing on the J 9th, Garibaldi sent orders to Missori .and bis column to join him on the hills iti tlie rear of Reggio,, and proce . e I himself with bis main body, 3,80 u strong, to the same position. 0. l effecting tliis junction Garibaldi ■ made his dispositions for attack as follows: Bixio, with four battalions, was to attack the. town from tlie south side, whilst the main body rtV vanced from the hills, carried tin; suburbs, and endeavoured to gain possession of tlie fortress, which is situated - in the centre of the town.. Two expeditions was also in readme s.to force the passage, Messina ami the other from the Faro. G: r-’.nddi commenct d the attack about an h-i.i l» fore daylight, and soon engaged the attention of the mass of the troops who had occupied all the most advau tagious positions in and near the town, and were advancing steadily, when Bixio’s fimous onslaught on th 6 southern side carried all before it. So Bixio, though slightly wounded, pushed his way up to the castle, effecting a junction with Garibaldi, whilst tlie Royal troops fell back on tlie castle from both sides. In spite’ of their- favourable portion and the vigour of their fire, it was hopeless for (hem to resist unless they were prepared to do s<» at tlie point of the bayonet, as when once our men bad entered tlie town they were allowed no time for anything else, and the conflict became almost a rout, the enemy flying to. the fortress. Bixio having captured a sort

of) magazine, in which lie foumTtwo heavy guns, they were immediately turned against. ilm castle, which (at eleven o’clock) hoisted the,white flag. Simultaneously with this attack, Cosenz, with a considerable body of men, crossed in boats at the Faro without much opposition, all the'steamers having been drawn southwards by the firiug, and by the feint made in the harbour of Messina, where all Garibaldi’s vessels were concentrated, with steam up and a mock embarkation.to divert the enemy. ' , The terms made on the capitulation of Reggio were ihose which were given at. MeJazzo —the garrison to evacuate with/*,arms and baggage, "leaving behind all the materiel of. the fort. These conditions might seem too favourable, hut it. must be recollected that time is a great agent in Garibaldi’s combinations, and a thousand prisoners, more or less cannot come into comparison with it. As it was the spoil was not had —weight, field pieces, with horses and all; six 32-pounders; eighteen position guns, from eighteeu to 24-pounders; two Paixhan’s 10-inch guns; 500 stand of arms, a quantity of coal, ammunition, and provisions, besides a number of horses and ~mules. For the Neapolitans the heaviest loss is the coal for their steamers, for which the depot was at Reggio, and the naval station itself. A]l the provisions both for the fleet

and for Messina, in troubled times came from Reggio. It was as it were the wrist of the hand with which they held Sicily, and which is now cut off. < t < 1 - The Daily News correspondent writesTrom Villa San Giovanni, on August 23rd : Yesterday, at 12 o’clock, after a fruitless/ inter•yievv with the Neapolitan General Brigante, at Accerello, Garibaldi gaye the order of march, and up we went to the hills, which are beyond the ridge facing the gulf. At dusk »>ur column reached a sort of plateau near a place oil the left of Mattinitti. General Cosenz had already reached on Monday last the heights of Aspromonte, intending to operate

there, in combination with the main body of Garibaldi’s column. He had landed between SScylla fort and Bflgnara, when, entering the small village of Solano on Tuesday, he met a body of Neapolitans, who tried to oppose his march. Besides the brigade he commands he had with him the English and French com. panics, commanded by the gallant Colonel de Flotte, the well-known defender of the Paris barricades in the bloody days of June, 1848. These two companies, having been suddenly attacked by the sth Gacciatoii battalion, had to fight hard to repulse it, in which, however, they succeeded after a fight of two hours. The village, had been already carried at the point pf the bayonet, when poor Colonel de Flotte. anxious to make prisoners of a few Neapolitans, run towards a lane of the village, sword in hand, summoning them .to surrender. He bad scarcely reached the corner of the lane when a Neapolitan soldier, who was concealed in it, shot him dead on the spot, loss of this officer was keenly felt both by Garibaldi and the army, for Colonel De Flotte w as highly esteemed and beloved by all who knew him. 3d is mortal remains were buried the day before yesterday, and a subscription has been opened to erect a monumeut worthy of him. Garibaldi has, however, already paid an honorable tribute to his memory, in a touching order of the day, in which the military capacities and social virtues of this lamented'officer are recorded. A s soon as Solano was carried by the ardour of the English company, who after Colonel De Flotte’s death Captain Goodall, General Cosenz could follow his march'without being further molested by the enemy. This brilliant result is in great, part to be ascribed to the boldness of the English captain mentioned above, who after the action was highly complimented by Garibaldi .himself. Lieuts. Walker, Richardson-, Styles, and Patterson also fought like true Britons. Next day, by a bold and well combined movement, Garibaldi outflanked General Milandis’ position, and General Brigante, being still in possession of Villa San Giovanni, had his communications cut off with the main body of Mi- : jandis’ brigade. As soon as Garibaldi thought lie had accomplished his object, and secured - the result of his strategic manoeuvre, .lie sent . to General Milandis two officers, namely Count • Trecclii and Major Veccbi, summoning him to surrender. A flag of truce was hoisted, ami the two officers proceeded to the enemy’s camp. The) found it in a state of total tleemoralisation, for some of the soldiers were .shouting out, “ Long live Garibald !” “ Long . live Italy ! ” After some neg.ociation, Garibaldi informed Milandis, that if by three o’clock lie had not surrendered, lie would attack him at once, and throw the whole of his i brigade into the sea. The consequence of -this peremptory summons was .that "Milandis was obliged to accept the conditions imposed upon him, and this was the signal for the total breaking up of his brigade. 'J'he Neapolitans, when made aware of the capitulation, threw

uway their arms and camei up to our lines to .'■•fraternize with our soldiers. I have no doubt -that the prime motive of this was fear, hut. the result was obtained, and 2000 men more had been forced to lay down their arms before a corps of so-called Filibusters. The consequence .pf General Mi land is’ surrender was, that his colleague Brigaute was also obliged to capitulate before night. . Whilst I am writing, his men, about 1200, are lying in the principal -Street of this village, waiting for the boats ;jvinch are to convey them to Naples. They will embark during the course of this night. fXim garrison of Pezzo Fort has also surrendered. It is- now occupied, by the battalion of and outposts’ are by this time iwithjn: the range of the Alta Fiutnara Neapolitan battery. . After relating the surrender of Brigante’s the Times ,co;7gspo»Ueßs,says.:••“ Ga-

rilialdi hiinself went down amongAhe Neapolitans, and was .almost torn to pieces, by hugging and embracing; soldier, and officer, toger ther with l • G'eiihr-AL'Brigahte, fraternised, If was, above all, when the Neapolitan soldiers were told - that -thcfset wlib .wished could go home, ;i that, the- burst; of Joy wasithe.greatestv They left The carabineers bit the' 1 line of- retreat-, not knowing what; had passed/fired jinto the first troop, but’.orders matter’s right, and the flying ‘column jras by nightfall dispersed;an all "directions/ leaving about 260QU.g?uiid of arms, four field-piedes, find ten guns -in the fort. But more than all this is the/moral; effect of this surrender;; apd of the 2000 soldiers returning to their homes adoring Garibaldi, besides the position wp have gained in the Straits. Indeed, the news has already come in that both the Forte di Fiumara and Scylla have been given up to .us. Tbits we shall probably find iio resistance till Moiileleone. if even there. The surrender yesterday showed the spirit of the Neapolitan army in a new light, ft was, as nearly as possible, defection in mass. Thus the whole country behind Calabria Citeriore and Basilica is...up ; they hayfe produced the Dic&torslrip of .GarihaWi/aud have-put themselves in communication with head quarters. Verily, it is high time that King Francis should think of.. eni barking ” ! r '' Garibaldi’s progress to Naples was not opposed, by tlie\Neapolitan itroops; Some opposition was-,anticipated at A/oiiteleone, where a corps of 11,000 men was posted under ; Genoral 'Glu>;“but-._pn the night, of, the 27th. August 3000 deserted, and on, the'2Bth they set out foM Fizzo, on their road to which placc 2000 more deserted.

TIIE PAP,AL ; STATES.: .- While these events wire transpiring in the south, a revolutionary movement begun in' the A/arches and Umbria. The inhabitants applied to the king,..of Sardinia for'protection against the Papal mercenary troops commanded by Lamoriciere. On the 11th Sept, his Sardinian majesty ordered the Sardinian troops to enter these provinces, in order, .according.to his proclamation, " to establish civil rule in the towns now desolated by misrule, and tty give to the people- the liberty" -of expressing their own wishes.” General Fanti entered C/mbiia on the sam'e'diy 'witH- 25',000'troop's, and was followed on the foliowing by other 25,000 under General Cialdini. An engagement took place between part of. the Sardinian troops and LamoriciereY mercenaries oil the 18th, in which the latter were defeated, with the loss of 600 prisoners and 400 killed aiitl wounded, and the inext-morning 200!0 men of General Pionodon’s corps surrendered, making a loss to Lamoriciere of 3000. Among the prisoners are some Irishmen, whom the Sardinian Government, .offered to deliver up to our representative, hut lie declined having anything to do with them. Lamoriciere re- ; treated on Ancona, and in a letter from Turin, dated 21stAS’ept, it is said that he intended surrendering that town. A i official despatch from Remind, dated 25th A%pt., stated, that the fortress of -Santa Le <■ was, after somp. hours’ firing, given up aud occupied by the Sardinian troops.

The news of Sardinian troops having entered the Papal States lias given more confidence in:commercial circles'iu‘Paris, as: it is thought there is.less,probabilty of a collision between the Guribaldians and the French troops at Home. The French Ambassador however was withdrawn from Turin, on the

fSardiniatr troops being ordered on this expedition. - ■■■■"■' r 'l'wo nmre- regiments have been sent to Annie. And, the French Emperor has intimated that he will defend Rome and its'suhurbs, the towns of Civita Y'ecchia and Viterbo ; but no more. This does not satisfy the Pope, who has resolved to fight for his dominions. The Ultramontane party in France are desirous that he should quit Aome. If lie were; to

do so, the French garrison would follow. ■ /The following extract from the London Axawi/ner'shows the position of affairs “ With the' annexation of Naples the true Italiamideadias made an enormous stride to fuifilmeiit. We have had three Italian ideas —that of Mazzini, or' Italy united into a red republic ; that of the" Emperor of the French, lint, less ’chimerical, with the Pope at the head of;a confederacy of little, crowns; and lastly, the great inn), wise conception of Garibaldi-and Count Cavour, the jconso.lidation of the whole peninsula and Italian name into one free monarchy ; the only idea in harmony with the views of'alir’unliglitened Italians, grasped hy the leading men of every state, apd agreeable to the .dispositions of tlie populations themselves.

The vigour which Fuad Pacha has displayed has-.filled' 1 the Moslems with consternation, and ba'r-deinbnstraited:.io rnaijy the futility of a foreign aimed intefveution.

This wretch, with his family and followers,.; butchered him. dreds' of; Christians, including many who trusted for safety to liis pretended friendship and to his profession-of regard. It was. by Iris orders,‘and by his people, that Mr. Graham was murdered, and lie plotted the deaths of Mr. Erej and Dr. Marshallah, noted Protes taut missionaries. Hassam Bey, a man well known in Damascus, was also hanged, with others, including the brothers, sons, and, followers of some of the chief personages in the cityi Rank ['and dignity made no difference. A t one o’clock on the same day, Monday, 110 of the Zapties (police) Bashi-Bazouks, and Others-who had been arrested, were led out. to the Great il/eidan and there sliot. . This act of stern justice filled A/oslems with the apprehensions ; their' shops were closed during the day, and the Mews kept to their own quarter, while very few Christians appeared in tlfe";streets, which were filled with the women ..related to the dead and to those in j prison; weeping aloud, and cursing the “dogs,” on whose account Moslems had been punished with death. Besides those who suffered the extreme penalty of the law, about 350 were sentenced to hard labour , for life, 'and they were marcliedfr out - ;of Damascus through the public streets, with, their wrists in wooden yokes,, to Boy rout, whence they are to embark for Constantinople.

Henceforward I am assured there will.be no further delay. As offenders, lire tried and condemned they will be imtiie.diatelv. executed; while those who have fled afe’now-being tried, and-on being!com!emhe<i will be liable to immediate execution on being; caught. Jfuad Pacha has 8000 troOps under his command, of whose fidelity lie ‘ feels as sured, to render him perfect master of the city, //limed Pacha, hue Governor of- Damascus, lias been tried and found guilty,' and cuiiijemned Aor death by civil tiibuual. 7/e lias to. he tried by a military court and wili then he executed-^—probably he has* been so AelWre-jihis.

"W. oill NA. ; Capture or tiie Taku Forts ~Qn ~tlii; 12th. August the allied armies left Pehfang! About 10 a m., Sitibw was attacked!*by both divisions, and the Tartars, evacuated it, and retreated to Tang Iy>o, a large fortified'village, about, 11 miles from the North Peilio forts,. Near Siih> the troops stopped till the 14t.1i August, when they stormed Tang JG>o. The Armstrong guns did splendid service, and totally eclipsed the French rifled camion. Major Piobyn’s horse had a smart reeontiv with the Tartars,. cti,t.ting fifty of them to pieces aiul, capturing 300 ponies. ' The second division remained at Tang Kop, till ;the 21st, the first division being at a place a little to the westward. Some 'guns were sent to the front on the evening- of the 20.t.h., & on the morning of the 21st the second division of the army and about 1500 French marched to the attack of the Peilio forts. At 530 p.m. the filing begau on,the pait of the Chinese, to which we replied with such, spirit that within three, hours and a half 1500 stiell.were fired into fort No. 3. At 9 a.mi tin place nas carried by assault, the 'Chinese, defending every inch of ground, and being bayoneted by scvwes and driven out alter the most desperate resistance. Our loss is said to be 40 killed and 102 wounded ; the french loss being somewhat similar. It is considered by mei of all arms that it is impossible to conceive a more, resolute defence—in fact the Chinese nave covered themselves with glory. A Victoria Cross has been awarded to Ensigi Chaplin ,of the 07 Uegi nent, who. by hi' bravery well deserved tiie medal. great Sankolinsin is of course in disgrace.

A letter horn tlie North, furnided l>y a subscriber of the Hongkong Rogister , adds the following particulars: — On their arrival at the Peiho they found tin "forts very strong ami well d -fended, hut owing to the efficacy of the Armstrong guns uno patent shells, the enemy were’.bombarded on of them after a vigorous resistance of eight hours. . .. 5 During the latter part of the attack, which was in the evening, the air seemed alive with bursting shells and rockets, and occasionally a ’tremendous glare as some .powder magaziin exploded. In two days after, toe troops had possession of the forts on both sides of tinriver. On entering them they found the Chinese lying dead by scores round their guns. Om loss in proportion was trifling—3oo killed and wpunded on, the side of the allies, including about twenty officers. General H ope Grant said ,that the mandarin who defended them deserved the Victoria Cross for the skill and courage he displayed. Lord Elgin and Baron Gros. arrived at 7'ien Tsin on the 25th August; Commissioners from Pekin arrived on the'2Bt.h. ’Negotiation's proceeded satisfactorily for a week, when tlie Chinese Commissioners all at once intimated that they had hb power to sign a treaty. Farther communications were then stopped, £ aiul the army put iu motion for Pekin, ' The trade at Shanghai continues paralysed.
