(Shaw:time Correrpondente of the London Timos.l The squadron anchored off Nankin on the evening of the Bth November, and format notice awes at once given to the commander of the (hint as gun-boat Tungche that be was not to move from his anchorage without permission from the Rodney; that be was in fact, to consider him self formally "ate lched.."*On the following morning Mr. Medhuret, accompanied by several consular and naval oflicent, and escorted by a guard of -ixty marines,had an interview with the Viceroy, in whose company were seated Ma, his successor lest, the Governor of the Province of Klangeu, and the Taotais of Chinkeang and Shanghae. Mr. Medhuret at once opened the negotiations. Alter hotdiscussion,Tseng agreed to every ono of Mr. Medlatost's demands, appointing the Tatoi of dhatigh ati and another high official to accompany tom to Yang-chow, and there held a high court of inquiry mto the riot and its causes. Mr. bled burst expressed satisfaction, but next asked for some guarantee for the fulfilment of the condi tions assented to. The mandarins were indig nant, however, at the implied want of confidence in their good falai. lint Mr. Medlturat suggested that promises were liable to be broken at times, and that the Chinese gunboat Tuogche mast be handed over as a material guarantee for the ful filment of the new covenant. The gunboat was given up. On the 10th of November the new Viceroy, Ma, took over the seals of office. Though he had been several lays la Nankin he had very natu rally preferred that his predecesser should allay the storm he bad created, and it was far more satisfactory to foreigners that this should be so. if Taeng had gone off with the glory of his first rtjection of our demands iatact,the Chinese would have ascribed this to his pluck and Ws sate mission to cowardice. They would still have talleved that if Teeng had remained the litritiali would have been defeated. • The first act of dm new Viceroy was to offer any compensation demanded for the illegal attention of goods at the weierman barrier,. but to plead the impractlea bility of punishing the Hoppe., as he was ap puinted directly from Pekin. Mr. Medhuret ex pressed his re,rret that in that ease ho should be obliged to go to Havel-quan personally to see the necessary measures taken—an alternative which seemed to excite only less horror than the seizure of the Tungche. On the 11th Her Majesty's Con sul paid an official visit to the new Viceroy, and on the following day the latter returned this on board the Rodney,wbither he was conveyed in a email steamer attached to the ex pedition. The ship was, of course, Inspected, and His Excellency expressed high admiration at her cleanfintes and order. He was saluted with nineteen guns as he landed, and seemed pleased with his reception. Next day the teed taeighed anchor and returned to Chinkeang, anchoring off the month of the Grand Canal, which Mr. Medhunst ascended on the 14th to Yaugehow with the gunboats Blaney and Dove, and an escort of 400 marines and blue jackets from the Rodney. He was well received, and good quarters were given him and his escort in a handsome temple called •"fite flail of the Ten Thousand GeniL" it is amazing to learn that in a last despairing effort to bide the extent foliate "demonstration" from the inhabitants, the authorities guided-the troops by all the back lame to their new abode. This was submitted to at the time, but Mr. Medhurat intends before he leaves to march the men through all the prin cipal streets, and to post • proclamations—ln ad dition to the stone table—explaining the reason and results of the entire expedition. His work at Yangchow is nearly finished. Indemnity to the missionaries and to the owner of the goods detained ut the H wel-quan barrier lest been paid; the required proclamatlon has been drawn up, and is being engraved; the local magistrates bad been already removed; the pew ishmcut of the instigators of the riot is the chief mitining didicuity. One or two men of inferior rank' bad been implicated, and will be punished; but I much fear the arch culprits will escape. It is impossible to getlevidence against them. They are far more powerful locally than she district magistrates, and it is worth t-niore thou the life ut any Chinaman to testify against them. Any outs doing so would be sum- Aaiun d threetly the troops have left. Even it this point be not fully attaieed, th determined neilon taken in the matter will have a most bone tidal offset on our, relations with China. The mandarins had beenwe intolerably insolent and obstructive, and this timely display of energy has probably prevented a More serious collision that would have soon become inevitable.' Great credit is due Mr. Keating, for the ability and energy he has shown throughout the whole ne gotiations. and to Sir Rutherford Alcock for the wise use and vigorous support he has lent to the former'e, action. It is, fortunate that the Shanghae Consulate was eo well filled at the emergency. 110 ELAND. Wxtraordlnary Scone In a Cork. • ifflioatire. - • , I From filo ran Man Gazette, Jan.

PhotograplOs of the Great Solar Eclipse. The London. Daily News, of Jan. 12, says: "Our readers will be glad to hear that Major Tensant's photographi of the great eclipse have urned out much better than had been hoped for. It will be remembered that Major Tennant him self bad been disappointed by the results he had btained. In the first place, light, fleecy clouds had covered the sun during the period of totality, and though they had not interfered with vision, they bad, It was feared, seriously affected the estate of the photographic processes. Major Tennant complains. besides, of the effect of the intense heat of the Indian eimate upon the chem icals. The negatives, be told us, were spotty And under exposed. Under judicious manipulation, how ever, the negatives have borne magr.ifyinu exceedingly well. The prominencies are well r-b own, and the peculiar phenomena which it was hoped that this eclipse would reveal, have at length been exhibited. We now, learn that the prominences are really subject to vast and rapid prccesses of change. One solar promi nt nee represented in Major Tennant's photo graphs as a strange scroll shaped flame is pre sented in other views with a totally .different Ilk tire. It will serve to convey some Idea of the wondrous nature of the changes thus exhibited, to mention that the height of this prominence can cot be less than ninety thousand miles, and that the swaying motion would seem to have had a range of fully twenty thoneandmiles. "It is eatisfactoly to think that- the nine-inch Newtonian reflector, which had been constructed with so much skill and care by Mr. Browning, F. R. A. 8.. the optician, has thus been shown to nave fulfilled the expectations which had been formed by astronoMere; and that the ex penses of t o expedition have been fully repaid by its results," CBIMB.

The Washington Altar of fiat night says: The little town of New Windsor, in Carroll county, Maryland, was thrown into a state of in s use excitement on Saturday last upon the dis overy of the robbery of the ' - National Bank at hat place. Oneflaturday morning the offiVrs of be hank went as usual to their p l ace of business but discovered that the safe could not be opened. !he combination lock had been successfully picked and the: important portions of the lock re moved. On breaking open the safe the whole con tents. it was found, had been removed. The contents consisted of nine thousand dollars in greenbacks, one thousand dollar United dtates Five-twenty bonds of 1862; five thousand doll ire of the same bonds of 1864; five thousand and five hundred dollars of the same bonds of 1865; five hundred dollars of United • States Ten-forty mends; twelve thousand dollars of Central Pacific Railroad first mortgage bonds; eleven nonsand dollars of Central Pacific Rail oad bonds; eight thonsand and five hundred lollars of Western Maryland Railroad first ortgage bonds; ton thousand and two hundred !ollute of Western Maryland Railroad second mortgage bonds; eleven thousand and eight ban ned dollars of Washington County Maryl And bonds; twee ty-seven thousand dollars of New Orleans and Opelonsas Railroad first mortgage weds; four thousand dollars of bonds of the same et mpany for overdue coupons; and seven thou sand dollars of New Orleans and Jackson Rail road first mortgage bonds. The robbery was done by, expert burglars, and it is supposed that the arrangement for its con summation had been on hand for some time, so '-aelly and perfectly was it accomplished. The botels all, or nearly all, belonged to private indi viduals, who had deposited them with the bank for safe-keeping. The money belonged to the bank, and that is about the extent of the loss of the institution. A reward of ton thousand dol lars is offered for the recovery of the property. ratirder on a Maryland Oyster-Vossyl. [From the Bt.

The Captain ordered the anchor hauled up, to get the vessel in motion, when Lainhertson struck Young a severe blow on the head with a "handspike." which knocked him overboard..

The officer followed Burke upon the ear. 'saw him en aconeca in a seat, and deposit the nice, fat-look ing Valise by his side. Walking,. up to him, be said quietly but firmly, "You aro my . prisoner !" Burke, not at all discomposed, said he "griessed not;".but Louis, taking charge of the valise, took hold of Burke's, coat collar and told him to come along: At this juncture the train started, and , of course the officer could not get off with his prisoner, but he proposed to "stay , with him." The conductor happening along a moment after. alerting, Louis stated the case briefly, and desired to be dropped at the stock-yards station, to Lowell, which was accordingly done, 'the officer meanwhile carrying the valise, and retain ing firm hold of the prisoner. The two walked up to Broadway.

At length Burke ran into a barn, and the officer came near losing him. Waiting a few minutes, Valentine, doubtless fearing the arrival of reinforcements for his "enemy," struck out again, and the officer after him. _ _ ln his travels Burk jumped over the embank ment, and also ran into a house, the officer at Ws heels. He was at length cgrnered, and sur rendered unconditionally. The Officer had no further trouble with his pri soner, and securing the valise the two men made their appearance at the Central Station. Burk was searched, and locked up In the strongest cell in the calaboose, while the Chief of Police went through the valise. At the first glance nothing of note was discovered. Two palm of pantaloons were taken out, and under them was observed a vackaxe. Hurrah!

Main Works Destroyed. The Pittsburgh Gazette of yesterday says: Afire occurred in Birmingham about 11 o'clock A. IL yesterday (Monday), by which the Pitts burgh Glees Works were totally destroyed. The fire originated in the packing-room, where there was blame quantity of straw and other inilim mable material, and less than twenty minutes the entire building was in flames. The works were in operation when the fire broke out, and the flames spread with such great rapidity that several of the employee narrowly escaped fallings prey to the devouring element. A num tx r olbuilnings in the vicinity were in imminent danger of destruction, several of them being on fire at one time, but through the efforts of the firemen and citizene who had assembled at the scene of conflagration the flames were subdued and confined to the building in which they origi nated.' The building was a trams structure and consequently burned very rapidly: We were unable to ascertain the extent of the lose, bat presume it will be quite heavy, as there was a considerable quantity of stock on hand and the building was comparatively new.
