British Account of the Late Difficulty

(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.

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,"

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.

On the 18th instant a difficulty occurred be
tween two colored men on board of a dredeloy,
outlay, commanded by Capt. George T. Whirrs,
of Somerset county, while lying at anchor in
Black, Walnut Cove, Tilghman's Island. The par
flea were named George Lamhertson and Thomas
Young, both of Baltimore. 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.. Captain f.vans said he, never
saw him after he fell In the water. Lamberlson
was immediately arrested and arraigned before

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. Reaching
a point just north of Maguire market, Burke
gavo a jerk, loosened the hold of the officer, and
ran. louts, desirous of saying the valise, and
knowing that with it he would labor under great
disadvantages, quickly deposited it in a store and
gave chase. Ile tOst sight of his uffin for a few
minutes, but straining every sinew in the pursuit,
bus vision was gladdened on recovering it near
Eleventh and Salisbury. 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! This package was found to
consist of $18,750 in
. counterfeit United States

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.

went. The walls of the building fell, except - in
front; while the engines were at work, and a
large number of firemen were injured.
There being only a wooden partition separat

being highly joliammabe, the work of destruction
progressed with extraordinary rapidity. Mr.
Benjamin Rev's stbck consisted of rages. He

stock to another building,which ho intends to oc

Mr. Conness objected as before, on the ground
that the bill hankie been indefinitely postponed

Mr. Hendricks maintained that the offect,of the
indefinite poetponement was merely to prevent

also reviewed the history of the bill, and showed
that it had never been considered upon its merits

Mr. Ingersoll took a like view of the question,
