The Treaties with China. A true-born Englishman Is never thoroughly satisfied, unless ho has something to grumble at. This may seem paradoxical, but is true. Set John Bull in tho Garden of Eden, and the odds aro, China to a China orange, that he would murmur because ho had to walk upon tho velvet and flower-embroidered sward, in stead of the gravel walks to which ho has been accustomed in Vauxhall, or Cromorno, or Ken sington Gardens. Just now, J ohn Bull is in a peculiarly happy state of mind. -Ho has a grievance, and his favorite mouthpiece, the London Times, is vehement in complaint. For onco, John Bull really has some grounds for indignation. China has made treaties with the United States, Russia, France, and Eng land ; the particulars of three of these dif ferent treaties have been made public, bnt, up to Saturday, the 25th of September, (tbe date of onr last advices,) nothing hod bpen publi citated, in or ont of England, about the Treaty which Lord Emin had made with the official representatives of his Geleitlal Highness tho Emperor of China. What aggravates the matter is, that the Treaty itself bad been eight days in England, at the time when the Times spoke ont. It was despatched from China by Lord Eloih, throngh the hands of his own brother, the Hon. Mr. Bbhoe, who arrived in England on tho 18th of September. Mr. Bbuoe reached London that day, bnt there was no member of tho Government to receive him. Lord Derby was in Scotland with the Queen. Disraeli was in Buckinghamshire, with Lord Stanley for his guest. Sir E. Bulwer Lyttoh was at Knobworth, oither reading up for Colonial in. formation, or laying the keel of a new novel of society, to follow « What will he do with It.” Other Cabinet Ministers were scattered over tho country, speech-making and recruiting. Last of all, tho Earl of Malmesbury, whose duty, aB Foreign Secretary, was to receive Mr. Bruoe, and obtain from him a translated copy of tho Treaty, and immediately ,send the same to the newspapers, was somewhere “ out of town.” Mr. Bruoe went tho round of the public departments in London, bnt could And no responsible head any where. Therefore, without loss of time, he wont off to Scot'and, where Victoria is ruralizing, and Albert makes sundry efforts to persuade himself that ho is a sportsman. He placed tho original Treaty in Victoria's hands, and, no doubt, immediately retired with Lord Derby, to give him an account, over a glass of wine and a cigar, of the manner in which the Chinese War had been wound up by the quartette ol Treaties with the “ Brother of the Sun and Moon.” Five days alter Mr. Beuoe’s arrival at Bal moral, to see the Queen and the Premier, not a word of the Treaty had been laid before John Bull. Ho is angry at the neglect and careless ness, and well he might be. Thore, in the Foreign Office, lay a translation of the Treaty, loft for Lord Malmesbury's special use—there it lay, a week later, yet unopened in its enve lope ! What made tbe matter worse is, that as soon as ever the Russian Treaty was signed, Count Fdtiatih stele ,n march on bis three trionds (Lord Eloiw, Baron Gnos, and Mr. Reed), and privately despatched a copy of the Treaty to St. Petersburg, by swift overland conriers. The Czar immediately ordered the pnhli/wGifm. nf thft Trftfttv. So»~XVbfln A£. DE_ Bellkcour, who journeyed in company with Mr. Bruce, from China, reached, Paris, the Emperor Napoleon was away in Biarritz. But tho moment he receired the Treaty, his Imperial Majesty had a full abstract of it pub lished in the Moniteur. The French were not kept in ignorance but were immediately put in possession of particulars. The same occurred in Russia, and, adds the Times: “ Dr. Bradley, the amiable and estimable American consul for Ningpo, who bears the American treaty, is already half-way across the Atlantic; and it is by no means impossible that tho terms of this treaty of Tien-sin may be flashed about tho continent of America before they are known at Lloyd’s. Already it has been shown that the despots oi Europe have exhibited a consideration for tho anxious curiosity of their people, and a < respect for their good will, quite unknown in this consti tutional country. It only remains that Demo cratic America, with an extra three thousand miles of distance, Bhould obtain her informa tion before us, and we shall stand alone in our ignorance—a signal instance of a patient peo ple contemptuously snubbed by a tonth-rato mediocrity.” Well might that same journal indignantly complain that oflicial indifference had left England, alone among the four con tracting Powers, ignorant of the terms of the Treaty. Here, again, is the Circumlocution Office, with its eternal red tape. It is not merely interesting to the politician, but to the mer chant and the shipowner, to know the particu lars of a treaty which is to extend the com merce of Europe and America with China. The Times says : « The Hon. Frederick Bruce arrived at tho Foreign Office on Satur day, and every ono naturally concluded that the treaty would certainly appear in the Tues day’s Gazette . The Gazette comes out and makes no sign. and shipowners were naturally impatient and' irate. To them an early knowledge ot the stipulations that must hereafter govern their commercial trans actions Is not only of the highest possible interest, but of great pecuniary importance. It is not only curiosity, bnt cash/ that is in suspense. No wonder that people are uneasy when it is certain that there are several men now in England who thoroughly know all the details «f that document. Undue priority in the race of commercial speculation may not bo designed, and yet may occur.” [We learn, by tho Indian Queen, that the Treaty was pub lished, at last—ten days after its arrival!] The terms of each of the four treaties in clude one point—namely, that no one nation Bhonld gain advantages not glared, to the full, by every other high contracting Power. Thus, while England and France receive pecuniary and other reparation for tbo injuries or insults which, whether real or imaginary, were the alleged causes of the late War with China, America and Rnßsia are placed upon an equal footing with those Powers in all things else. Russia, it is trno, obtains tho cession of some desiderated territory, which will handsomely round oiT the Asiatic possessions of the Czar. France, which affects a marvellous fooling for tho advancement of the Catholic faith, has further made a special bargain for the Chinese Empire being thrown open to missionaries. This, and every, othor concession, tho Uni ted States will also enjoy, to tho fullest extent. England and America, then, in common with France and Russia, will be allowed to have diplomatic missions residing in Pekin, and communicating directly with tho Emperor himself. Instead oi being limited to enter only five Chinese ports, as by tho Treaty of 1844, tho citizens of tho United States, in common with tho subjects of other Powers, may henceforth travel, by passes, all over China, without let or hindrance. To use tho words of the Afoniteur: “ Commerce will re ceive new developments by favor of the rights acquired for tho future, by merchants, of buy ing direct, and without a go-between, their wares upon the very spot where they are pro duced. A new revision of -the tariffs will make tho customs dutios harmonize with tho fluctuations of prices. Goods will no longer bo subjected to arbitrary surcharges levied on thorn during their transit by tho provincial mandarins; tho Government will publish a uniform transit duty. The tonnage duty will be similarly reduced. Commercial shipping has long demanded a security that fails it In the seas whero piracy commits its ravages with impunity. Measures will be taken for the de struction of this scourge. It may fairly be assumed, that the amount wbish China will have to pay towards the ex penses of the war will not come within a TWO CENTS. great deal of liquidating the actual cost—more especially to England. Yet the advantages likely to result from the commercial and po litical concessions made by China are fully worth this pecuniary difference. Every one ef these advantages, so dearly purchased by France and England, will accrue to the United States, without any expenditure whatever, by means of the Treaty which our Minister, Mr. Reed, succeeded in obtaining.. Here we liter ally reap where others sowed. When John Bull realizes this, he will have another oppor tunity for grumbling, and will probably admit that, after ail, Jonathan was a little too cute for him. Mr. Reed, it must be admitted by all, has certainly fulfilled the purpose of his mission ably and satisfactorily. FOREIGN MISCELLANIES. Mr. Thouas Allsop.—Mr. Holyoake bas writton to a London newspaper a narrative of tbe circamßtanoeB which indooed the Secretary of State to abandon the prooeedings - against Mr. Thomas Alleop, the supposed aooomplioe of .Orrini. The letter contains several remarkable statements; and it would seem thatmaoh of the evidence whioh passed anohallenged at Dr. Bernard’s trial was in* oorreot. The bombs prodooed in eourt were not those ordered by Mr. Allsop; and Mr Tayler erred in identifying them as those he manufactured. Mr. Holyoake denies tbe report that his friend supplied Orsini with funds to carry on his enter prise. The declaration that neither Mr. Allsop nor any ether person not actually concerned in the attentat knew anything of Ortlni’s plana is quite consistent with the peouliar character of that ex traordinary man. One circumstance mentioned by the writer is oreditahle to the good taste, of his friond. An Amerloan showman offered Mr. Allsop $lOO per night to leotnre in the United States; but that gentleman, we are told, “ refused to trade in a platform of cuTiosity acoident bad attaohod to him.” Queen Victoria la about presenting to the Emperor of China a sto&m y&ebt, of the same equipment as that presented to tho Emperor of Janan.

Walter Savage Landor has taken up his residence at Genoa, where his family, whloh is numerous, possess a fine estate; and one of the curious effeots of the trial is, that it has led to a reconciliation between the aged poet and his wife, after a separation of forty years. There is great talk in Paris of the creation of five hundred barons, who are to form the nuoleus of anew noblesse'to surround and support the throne. The report has given rise to that of an other—that of the intendeef coronation of the Em peror at Notre Dame, like the great Napoleon, in the month of January next. The Journal des Debdts, in an elaborate no tice of the official statistics of Frenoh.oommerQe, shows that, comparing 1847 with 1857, the trade of France with England has increased in these ten years 272 per cent., with Russia only four per cent., with the aggregate of the States of Europe 132 per cent., and with the United States of North Ame rica 100 per cent. Accounts from every part of France repre- jrine harvest, aa being gathered under most fortunate auspioes. The fruit is so ripe that the juice ferments immediately, instead of, as usual, requiring a week’s time. The town of Mariposa, in the centre of the Californian gold miues, has acquired sufficient im portance for the French Government te think it necessary to appoint a vice-consul there. Accounts from Marseilles state that the merchants of that oity are preparing to avail themselves of the additional commercial facilities afforded by the treaty with China. Prince Napoleon will set forth for Algeria on the Ist of November. He is engaged during his leisure hours in making himself acquainted with the history and capabilities of the provinces which he has undertaken to preside over.

Fleets are constructing for the troops and sailors who are to form an establishment on the shores of the Bay of Tourane, in Cochin China. They will be shipped on hoard a transport which takes out a largo amount of stores to the China seas.

The report is contradicted that Marshal Canrohert is to be married to tho Duebess de Soto mayer, a Spanish grandee. It ia said, on the contrary, that he is engaged to the daughter ef an enormously rich ironmaster in the Haute Marne. M.

The old King of Wurtemburg has been fully apprised of the origin of tho false rumor as to his change of oreed. It is traced to a connection, no secret for years, with a lady no longer young, Frau Stubenrauch, whose influence is supposed to have already obtained from the aged monarch a soTt of concordat, almost as objectionable to Ms subjeots as the Austrian humiliation.

On Thursday afternoon there could not have been less than twenty thousand persons on the fair ground. It was the time appointed by the mana gers for the trial of the speed of horses, and the competitors for the different premiums were quite numerous. The trotting oommenoed first, two starting at a time, in harness, and quite a number of the Lanoaster-county horses making their mile inside of three minutes. The contest for the fifty dollar premium is between James Ward’s mare, of Philadelphia, and a largo, misshapen, knee-sprung horse, oalled “ Chuoklo-head,” owned by William MoCaskey, of this oounty. The trot was a olose one, the. mare coming in each time ahead. Some of the judges are of the opinion, however, that the premium should be awarded to tho horse, or rather his owner, as ho made his time, 2 65, in a dead trot, while the mare when lapped would start off on a run, or break as it is called, from which gait she could always oatoh again with much ease, and thereby gained an ad vantage. There were several other horses which made th. time above referred to, amowt which wns a more driven by Jaoob Lerman of this oity, and owned bv Jerry Heister. She went the mile on uno trial Tn 2.52 y Either of the other horses, however, it is said, can do it m much less. To-day will settle tho controversy. . At 11 o’clook to-day the address of the fair will be delivered by Professor T. C. Porter, an able and eloquent man, distinguished alike for his high moral character and his eminent piety as well as his learning and intelligence. The Immense crowd now thronging the fair-ground are waiting with anxiety in expectation of something Interest ing and instructive. The professor is one of the faoulty of Franklin and Marshall College. This afternoon the speed of tho paoing horses will be tested and the ward mare and the Me- Caskey horse timed. Mr. Hopple’s horse and Dr. Bwman’s mere will be the t wo principal competi tors for the premium. .

GENERAL NEWS. Chinese Weapons.— A correspondent gives the following ludicrous account of the weapon# used by’the Chinese: «i have seen the arms used by the Chinese at the storming of the forts at the month of the Peiho. The first sight of them shows the utter helplessness of this vast empire of 350,000,000 of population when it ootnes into con tact with European soienoe and arms and disci pline on the battle field. They remind me of the scene* of my boyhood, when all the lads of my oountry village were armed with wooden looks and flints, which oould snap if they oould not fire. They are ignorant of the rifle and percussion cap, and even of the flint, once need in its place. The gun is a matchlock, and of such formidable dimen sions and weight as to need wheels to oarry it in stead of their own shoulders. It is .almost impos sible to raise and level It, such is its weight; and often another man, kneeling before him who loads and fires, bears the end of the gun upon his shoul der, in the happy consciousness that, if the enemy onooses to kill him instead of the soldier at tho k!S?J * n< v )f the gun, he is innocent of any man’s blood, and could not but be. And those mateh- JookS'. they are worthy of a place in any antl- Almoat would the old Knfghts Malta start up again should these B*% ** in the gallery beside their armor. The matchlock, in oumbersomeness, is fairly in keeping with the barrel and stock; some inflammable material, which is kept burn ing, taking tho place of a flint.” A Louuville Row—On Thursday laal, in Louisville, K.ntuoky, a lad, passing by Mr. For sythe, being asked the name of that gentleman, suggested, as a proper means of dlsoovery, that he should be counted up in this wise: “One..scythe, two scythe, three scythe, Forsythe!” The gen tleman so named, a sohool teaoher, overhearing this, and thinking it disrespeotfol to be “ counted in” in that manner, seised the youth and adminis tered a thrashing. His father, passing by, remon strated rather strongly with the teaoher. and sug gested that when his boy misbehaved he wished-to v ““ orm ®d of it—that he would Inflict proper chastisement; adding, perhaps, some throats or rough words.
