TUESDAY, OCTOBER 12,1858.
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.
Prince Albert bas consented to be nomi
nated as president of the British Association for
the Advancement of Soienoe for the year 1850.

Hugh Miller has been purchased by the British
Government for £5OO. In addition to this aumj
another of about £6OO. subscribed all over the
country, with a view to the purchase of the col

The collection will remain in the Edinburgh

Lord Brougham completed his 80th year on

It is proposed to erect a memorial fountain

An English astronomer, Mr. Forster, has
jost observed an extraordinary'phenomenon, whioh
has already been produced on three occasions:
since the appearatoe of the oomet. He has ob
served a brilliant meteor, of a red and white oelor,
appearing above the comet, which has been wrong
ljr&upposed to form part of that body.
A submarine telegraph of about 300 miles is
in course of manufacture in Scotland, to oonneot
the colony of Viotorla with Tasmania. ,
It was believed that before leaving the
Gulf of Peobeli Lord Elgin and Baron Gros would
visit, the great wall of China.
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

Lancaster Agricultural and Mechanical
Fair.
[Correspondence of The Press ]
Lancaster, Octobers, 1858.
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. .
Some conversation has been had &mong tne
managers and stockholders in reference to the
purchase of a suitable field for future exhibitions.
This will, no doubt, be accomplished, when the
Lanoaetor oounty agricultural aud juMhanioal
fair will beoome a permanent Institution. Thus

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. Mr. Forsythe seized a poker, and
replied in a somewhat striking manner to this
appeal, cutting the head of his opponent, Mr. Shaw,
by the force of his arguments. The suddenness of
the attack and the weight of the logio so overcame
Mr. Sbaw as to inoapaoltate him from replying at
the time in kind, in tho afternoon, howenrer, fats
wounds having been bound up. he saw his oppo
nent, and attacked him with a heavy cane. This
time the advantage was with the father, and Mr.
Forsythe was so badly hurt as to peril his life. It
is said that the interference of his son—a lad of
twelve or fourteen years of age—alone saved the
life of the teacher. He was, for twelve hours after
the assault, insensible.

Wagon and Steers Burnt.—Daring week
before last, as Mr. Oliver Ingraham, of Bibb coun
ty, Alabama, was engaged in elearing up a pleoe
of new ground for a turnip patch, the leaves hap
pened to take fire from a brush heap, and so rapid
was the flames upon the loaves that they reached
the wagon and steers olose'by, used by Mr. Ingra
ham in hauling out brush. As the flames touched
the steers they attempted to get out of the way,
and hi doing so the wagon became hitched is a
sapling, and before they could be released the '
flames passed over them,-killing the steers, and
leaving only the irons, of the wagon, as a proof
tbat&neh'a thing did exist. As incredible as this
may appear, it is so, and is the most extraordinary
occurrence we ever heard of.
Terrible Accident.—On Tuesday last, a
white boy, named Griffin, while working in the
factory at Prattville,' Ala., was caught up by a
belt attaohed to some part of the was
drawn under by tbe maohi&e between a belt end
a pulley, was’thrown to the flooring above, and
partially drawn through a small hole through
which Jhe band passed. There tbe head was
severed from the body, and the lifeless trunk fell
to the floor below, while the head remained above.
Nearly;all his bones were broken.' and his body
otherwise terribly mutilated. We -understand
that his mother oame to the mjU shortly after the
accident, and that the shook was’ so great as to
deprive her of reason; in which state she remained
at last accounts.—Confederation, 2d inst*
Ah Unnatural Quarrrl and us Conse
quences.—At s Bluffton, la., last week, Almon,
'Case, proprietor of the'Central Hotel, becoming
jexasporatod with his son, Scott Case, through

Procuring bail shortly after, he pursued his son
jwith violent threats, when the latter, in self-de

thought the wounded man Tknnot survive.

Two Deaths from one Murder.— Tho case
of Jacobi, the Pittsburgh wife murderer, is to be

the manner in whioh the deceased met her death r
the body was exhumed, and a bullet found Imbed

tho sight of which the groom followed suit with a
copious flow of the briny fluid. After his friends
succeeded In calming him, he said he couldn’t
help It, for he felt as had about it as she did.
Delightful Residence.—A Keokuk paper
gives a distressing account of things in lowa,
comparing its condition to that of “ the doomed
city of Jerusalem ” They have creditors without
and creditors within, every third man is a lawyer,
every other man virtually a pauper, and all stand
ing in listless and unprofitable Idleness, except tho
police and constables.
A Natural Curiosity.—We were shown,
says the Norfolk Herald , a little baby about six
inches long, fully developed with the exception of
the arms, wbioh were entirely wanting It was a
sweet potato, of natural growth, and had it had
arms it would have been a striking resemblanoe to
the human form. It was the greatest ourioslty of
tho kind we have ever seen.
The Providence Journal, commenting upon
tho profusion with whioh the New York courts
grant injunction orders for every conceivable and
imaginary grievance, asserts that it does not
“ suppose a man could legally kiss bis wife is New

tion upon him.”
Lovn and Suicide.—Miss Abby Jane Blake,

The Cost or “War-— The cost of a thirteen
ineh shell, as it flies through the air, is from $lO
