C | r f n ii\ TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 15, 1859, Newstead Abbey* It was a groat blow to Lord Byron's prido when ho was compollcd, in order jto pay his debts, to sell Nowstead Abbey to hia old Bchool-feliow Colonel Wildman. "Wo find tho following in one of our exchange papers; u It is reported that tho venerable and classic pile at Nowgtoitd, tho rcsidonce of tho late Colonel Wild man, togothor with thu estate, exceeding 3,oooacres in extent, will shortly bebrought to tho batomer in ono lot. Tho Into lamented owner of Newsteod purchased tho catato in IBIS for X9I,QOd, and since that period vory largo sums ot motieV have been expended in improving it, so that, imUpendent of tho great incrcaso which has taken place in tho vttluo of landed property during the lasj fow years, thcro is evory ronßon to expect that it trill fotoh a vory high prico. Tho connection, of Byron with this charming rural rotroat will also, no doubt, act as an additional attraction to purchasers- It ia said ‘that the late Colonel Wlldtudn baa left tho whole of his real and personal property to hia widow for lifo, vrith remainder tohis brothers.” Thcro scorns to bo a mistake hero} as to tho y>rioe. In 1812, Byron wrote to bla.Jricpd, William Banklb thatNewstcnfl Kfldbeen sold, by auction, at Garroway’s (in London) for X 1-10,000—sixty thousand pounds to remain on on tho estate for three yoars, paying interest. However, it was not sold at tho time, only £90,000 having been offered for it. It was subsequently sold to Mr. Clauoii ton, for <£l-10,000, his principal being Chandos Lliou, of Stoncleigh Abbey. The purchaser out. Newetcad returned to Byron. (Saugbton forfeited, and actually paid over £25,000, which Byhon received, writing to Mookk, at the same time, “ that don’t prevent me from being very prettily ruined.” It was finally sold, when Byron was in Italy, to Colonel Wildman, who is said to have expended £OO,OOO additional upon restoring and improving it. The tall tower at tho right, as you stand with your back to tho Luke, was an entire addition of 'Wildman’s— not quite in accordance with the architecture of tho main building. But tho general good taste ho ex hibited has been much admired. It was By ron’s solo consolation, when parting with Ncwfilead, that it passed into the hands of his old and attached fcliow-Hnrrovian. Scarcely any feeling in ins mind was stronger than a liking and lovo for Nowstead. It had been a long time in his family, and they were proud of it. Originally a priory, founded by llknry 11, Ncwstead was especially fa vored by successive mouarebs, uniil on the dissolution of tho monasteries by Henry VIII, tho church, priory, and lands of Nowstead were granted to tho Byron family, who previ ously had possessed much contiguous property, RaApii i>e Buiu’n being noted, bi Doomsday Book, among tho tenants of land in Hotting, hatnshire, and his descendants, under tho title of Lords of noi'cstan Castle, having estates in Derbyshire, besides becoming Lords of Roch dale iu Lancashire. At tho Battlo of Creasy, where fflo Black Princo won his spurs—at tho Siege of Calais, under tho Third Edward— and on tho field of Eoaworth, where Richard of Glostcr lost empire and life, the Byrons fought gallantly, and tho grant of Newsteod by tho crowned son of that Richmond, whom tho defeat of Closer elevated to tho throne, was but a grateful recompense to tho grand nephew of Sir John Byron, who had battled bravely for tho cause and by tho side of the first King of tho line of Tudor. In a letter to his mother, in March, 1809, written while English Barth and Scotch Re viewers was going through tho press, Byron thus expressed himself;. “ iyimLyiui_Najt-.ui.oJi yery true.' Come what'may, Nowstead and I "stand or fall together. I havo now lived on tho spot. I havo fixed my heart upon it, and no pressure, present or futuro, shall induce me to barter tho last vestige of our inheritance. I have that pride within mo which will enable mo to support difficulties. I can endure pri vations j but could I obtain in exchange for Newstead Abbey thu first fortune in tho coun« try, I would reject the proposition. I l'eel liko a man of honor, and I will not sell New -Btcad.” * "When tikis waa written, .Byron had boon only two months of ago and in full possession of his estates. Six years earlier he had written tho stanzas On Leaving Nowstead Abbey, which appeared in Hours of Idleness, and the Fragment in which, alluding to his ancestors, ho wished for '■ No loQfithoncd scroll, no praise encumbored stone.” and proudly added “ My epitaph shall l>o my name alone.” Somewhat later wan the Elegy to Nowstead Abbey, addressed as «fast-falling, once-re splcndant dome,” in which he traced tho his tory of that pile, from its erection by one Henry, (an ottering to the manes of Thomas a’ Bucket,) to its donation to tho Byron fa mily l>y another monarch of that name. This poem concludes thus hopetully : “ llaply thy sun, emerging, jet may shine, Thoo to irrndiato with meridian ray ; Honrs Rpleudid in the past may still lie thine, And Moss thy futuro as thy former day.” Ho did not live to boo it. The restora tion, by Colonel ‘Wilmun, was not com pleted until mauy years after Byron’s death. A somewhat stately description of Nowstead Abbey is to be found in tho beginning of Moore’s Life of Byron. A more desultory account is given in Moore’s own Diary, which is yet better. In Washington Irving’s Kecol loctions of Abbotsford and Nowstead Abboy, in tho Crayon Miscellany, considerable space is devoted to tho former homo of tho Byron family. William Ilowur’s Haunts and Homes of British Poets also contains a graphic description of Ncwstead. Lastly, Lord Byron himself devoted several pages in the thirteenth Canto of Don Juan, to a poetical description of this family-seat, which there figures as Nor mpn Abbey. Though this is a somewhat rose tinted picture, whoever has visited Nowstead will recognise the general accuracy of detail and the picturesque beauty and breadth of tho sketch. Of Nowstead, as it existed at tho time of Byron’s taking possession of it, after ho at tained in his majority, u graphic description v as written by his friend Charles Skinner Mat thews, who formed ono of a party of young college friends, whom, on tho eve of his tour in foreign lands, Byron had assembled around him at the Abbey, for a suit of festive farewell. It is dated London, May i!2d, 1800, and is con tained in a letter to a lady. It is so fresh ami vivid that wo extract it here, from Moore’s Life of Lord Byron : “ London, May 22, 1809. “My dear , “ I mud begin with giving you a few particu lars of tho singular plaoo which I havo lately qulttod. “ Nowstead Abbey is situate INft miles from Lou don—four on this side of Mansfield. It is so fine a piece of antiquity, that I should think thoro must boa description, and, perhaps, a picture of it in Grose. The auoestois of its present owner cnino into possession of it at the time of tho dissolution of tho monasteries, but tho building itself is of a much earlier date. Though sadly fullon to decay, it isatlll completely an übtiey, and moat part of it is atilt standing in tho same «tnto ns when it was first built. There aro two tiers of cloisters, with a va riety of cells and rooms about them, which, though not inhabited, nor in an inhabitable stato, might easily bo mmlo so; ami many of thooriginn! rooms, amongst which is a fino stone hull, aro still In ueo. Of tho abbey church o.nly one cud remains; and tho old kitchen, with a long rango of apartments, is reduced to a heap of rubbish. Loading from tho abboy to the modern part of tho habitation Is a noble loom seventy foot in length, and twonty threo in breadth ; but ovory part of the house dis plays neglect and decay, save thoso which tho pro sont Lord Ims lately fitted up. “ Tho house and gardens aro entirely surrounded by ft wall with battlements. In front is a large luko. bordered hero and there with castellated buildings, tho chief of which stands on an emi nence at tho further extremity of it. Fancy all this surrounded with bleak and barren hills, with scaioo a tree to ho seen for milos, except a solitary clump or two, and you will havo some idea of Now stead. For the lato Lord being at enmity with his son. to whom tho ostato was aocurod by entail, ro solved out of flpite to iho sarao, that tho estate should descend to him in as miserable plight as ho could puf-sibly rcducoit to; for which causo ho took no enro of tho mansion, and fell to lonpingoff every treo ho could lay his hands on, so furiously, that ho reduced immense tracts of woodland country to tho desolate state I havo just described. How ever, his son died before him, so that ail his rago was thrown away. “ So much for tho place, concerning tfhich I have thrown togolhor thesp few particulars, meaning my account to be, like tho plaoo itrelf, without any older or oonneotion. But if tho plaoo itself anpoar rather strange to you, tho ways of tho inhabitants •will not appoar much loss so.

In’tho lake, right in front of Newatcad Abbey, there was found, during the lifetime of tho iitth peer, whom Byron succeeded, n largo brass eagle, which it was supposed tho Au gusiino monks had thrown in, for concealment, when thoir homo was secularized and plun dered by Henry VIII, It was sold, in 1777, to a watchmaker in Nottingham, who, taking it to pieces for tho purpose of cleaning it, dis covered several manuscripts in its interior. Most of theso wero 33d legal documents con nected with tho rights and privileges of tho foundation, Ono document was a pardon granted to tho monks, by Henry V, for every possiblo ctiino, and a long list was enumerated, which thoy might have committed up to the Bth of Docciubcr preceding—murders cx c.cptcd, committed oiler tho 10th of Novem ber.

[Correspondence of Tho Press.] As things have changed- somewhat in our city since my last letter to The Press, I concluded to employ a few hours of tho now lengthening ovc niogs in writing to yoa of such matters as may prove interesttng.to your numerous readers. Lan 'C&Ator Hliirucoupica the same geographical bounda ries which it (lid two years ago, and, although the hardness of tho times is seriously felt by all, its oror-busy and industrious population is still going the rounds of trade and fashion. The appoarance of business is here, but tho lifo of it has been for some time past sadly on the wnno. It is a serious occupation and productive of grave reflections, to rend tho numerous sheriff’s hand-bills which aro posted on tho walls And think that so many of our best men, who, a fow rears ago, were in the full tide of prosperity, should hare been crushed by the financial panio brought about by tho rupture cf tho Lancaster Hank and tho Savings’ Institu tion. The withdrawal of a million and a half of dollars from circulation by tboso terrible ruptures, from among our business men, has wasted the commercial interests bore to an extant which will be seriously fait far many years fo come. The loss of confidence and other combining causes have thrown & shadow around our business interests, which will require more than an ordinary sun sbino to dissipate. There are no buildiugs going up, and if it wero not far tho crumbling walls and the clink of hammers on tho site of tho depotabout to bo erected, wo might fancy that wo Lod fallen into tho dearth of a perpetual sabbath. Still, we live in hope, tho only thing whiuhean support man In tho day of trial. Wo cling to it, “ as the shadow of a groat rock in arcary land,” in the oxpocta tion (hat times may change, and Lancaster arise once more, “ like rhcenix from her ashen,” after tho end of hor ordeal has been reached. The doAth of Francis Keenan, Esq., which oc curred a short tiwo ago, is ono of tho molancholy facts which wo havo to record. Ho was ono of those men who only livo once in acentury, endowed with all thoso nolAo qualities of head and heart which go to mako up tho perfect gentleman. He was an attorney, of for moro than ordinary abili ties, excelling rather as a counsellor than an orator, yet possessing a large fund of legal knowledge, and a judgment clear, found, and reliable. His many kind and social qualities mndo him a universal favorlto at tho bar; and wo doubt, indeed, whether it could be said of him that ho had a single enemy in the world, lie was the nephew of the Hoy. Ber nard Keenan, so well and favorably known as the pastor of tho Church of St. Mary of the Assump tion, in this city, under whoso auspices he was in terred, and whose namo and character be nevor once dishonored. “ I'oaco to his ashes.” “After lifo’s fitful fever ho sloeps woll.” Thesitooftho Lancaster Railroad depot covers tho ground formerly occupied by tho excellent hotel kept by Owon Hopple. Tho telegraph station, in tho rear of it, has been removed to Reese’s City Hotol, as well as tho ticket-office of tho Fcnnsyl* vania Railroad, whoro they will both remain until after tho depot is completed. This hotel is now daily thronged with visiters, whero tho accommo dations aro of such a character as to moot with tho moat confirmed approval. There is a talk of erecting another in tho vioinity of tho railroad, but whothcr this will be done remains to bo ascer tained. Thoro are already several well-conductcd hotels in tho vicinity, and, barring a few eating houses, it appears to us that anything elso would bo superfluous, and, probably, would prove a f.iiluro. Tho Howard Association has Already commenced its operations for tho reliof of the poor duriDg tho coming winter. Their demands, no doubt, will bo great, but, still, they must bo mot. It will not do in a Christian community, whilo tho cold storms nro raging, and naturo is sealed up by the icy finger of death, for tho less-favored amongst us to hunger or to starve. Tho officers of this institu tion, and nil who have taken an active part in its organization, havo full faith, notwithstanding the hardness of tho times, that they will be able to carry their philanthropic purposes into entire effect. Your agents, Ellas Barr it Co., in East King Biroot, arc in possession of tho seventh volume of tho Now Amerioan Cyclopodia, whioh is, without doubt, one of the groatest books of tho age. They are prepared now to furnish tho seven volumes to thoir customers, and thoro soems to bo a very decided disposition on tho part of tho roading public to possess themselves of its valuod treasures. It is a, complete compendium of law, literaturo, science, ar.d history, so admirably collected, as to bring a knowiedgo of them all within the powor of evory man’s Requisition.

Gaskin and Franklin- Mcllvain, having received tho highest number of votes, were declared elected. In each of said clec tions a Riley and Vaux delegate .acted as tellers, and proclaimed the vote. The Convention then took up tho subject of contested seats. The rates appointed the committees, and after tho committees had the contestants before them, they reported.’ Five delegates were admitted who voted* far Richard Vaox, and four delegates were admitted- who voted for William M. Riley. - The -Convention then went Into an election for delegate to the Convention at Harrisburg for the district, when Riohard Vaux received thirty votes, and Wil liam M. Riley twenty-three votes. On motion of Mr. A.. B. Thompson, a Riley delegate, seconded by John J. Foster, the Riley candidate for presi dent of the Convention, the nomination was made unanimous. Cheers were then given for the nomi nee, and for tho success of the Democratic ticket in I 860; and the Convention adjourned. There was no disorder, confusion, or any attempt at violence; on the contrary, godd feeling and harmony were manifested throughout. There was no protect, at any time whatever, by Hr. Riley’s friends, at any of the proceedings; on tho con trary, many of them came to me after the Conven tion and congratulated me on the impartial manner in which the proceedings were conducted; and yet, the Pennsylvanian says that, but for the acts of violonce, intimidation, outrage, and fllogal pro ceedings, another and different remit would have been achieved. I leave it to the Democratic voters of tho district to deoide who are the disorganisen. Edward R. Hblubold, President First Senatorial District Convention. PERSONAL AND POLITICAL* The Massachusetts Spy, alluding to the story told by a Washington letter-writer, to the ef fect that the Hon. Charles Sumner is “ about to resign his seat in the Senate, marry a wife, and taka up his permanent reaittence in England,” says: “ Tho fellow invented this story. Nobody told him so. He had no warrant far it. Hr. Sum ner is now on his way home, and he will probably be in Boston before the close of the present week. He is in exceUent.health, and will take hla seat in the Senate when Congress assembles.” It is said that Madame Jenny Lind Gold* eehmidt contemplates returning to the practice of her profession as a public singer. Toe Harper’s Ferry Inscrosvts.—On the 10th instant, when the Harper’s Ferry insurgent* were about to be sentenced, Coppie rose and spoke thus: “ The charges that have been made against me aro not true. I never committed any treason against the State of Virginia. I never made war upon it. I never eonspired with anybody to in* duce your slaves to rebel, and I never even ex* changed a word with one of your servants. What I came here for I always told you. It was to'run off slaves into a free State and liberate them there. This is an offence against your laws, I admit, but I never committed murder. When I escaped to the engine-house, and found the captain and hU pri soners ear rounded there, I saw no way Cf deliver ance but by fighting a little. If anybody was killed ou that occasion, it was in a fair fight. 1 have, as I said, committed an offence against your laws, but the punishment far that offence would be very different from what you are going to indict on mo now. I have no more to say. When Cook’s turn came, he delivered, in a hesi tating, nervous manner, a speech, which had pro* bably been carefully prepared. He said, in sub stance, that he had not come to commit treason or murder, but merely in pursuance of orders from bis commander-in-chief, with a design to liberate slaves. As to the sword and pistols of George Washington, taken from Lewis Washington’s house, he said they were seised by order of Brown,, not for purposes of robbery, but for the sake of the moral effect that their possession might afford in case of a war of liberation. At the conclusion of bis not very effective speech, Judge Parker pro nounced sentence of death, in a manner showing genuine sincerity of emotion and pity. He con cluded as follows : “To conclude this sad duty, I now announce that the sentence of tho law is, that you, and each ono of you, John E. Cooke, Edwin Coppie, Shields Green, and John Copeland, be hanged by the neck until you aro dead; and that execution of this judg ment be made and done by the sheriff of this oounty, on Friday, the sixteenth day of December next—upon you, Shields Green and John Copeland, between the hoars of eight In the forenoon and twelve, noon, of that day—and upon you. John E. Cooko and Edwin Coppie, between the hours of twelve, noon, and five m tho afternoon of the same day. And the Court being of opinion that the exe cution of this sentence Bhould be made public, it Is further ordered that this judgment bo enforced and executed, not in the jail-yard, but at such public place convenient thereto as the said sheriff may appoint—and may God have mercy upon the soul of each one of you.” The prisoners if ere thon remanded. The day fixed for the execution is the I6lh of December. There is, however, some reason to believe that the indictments will not hold together in the Court of Appeals. Tub Position or Mr. Pryor.—Tho Lynchburg (Virginia) Republican, in an article on the elec tion of Mr. Pryor to Congress from the Fourth dis trict of Virginia, says: “He was opposed by Mr. Goode, of Mecklen burg, an independent Democrat, who was opposed to conventions, to Douglas, and in favor of Con gressional intervention in tho Territories. He and those who supported him have been sorely rebnked by the popular voice of the people. They have been defeated on all these propositions. Mr. Pryor ©p- Eoscd intervention, ami said he would vote for 'ouglas, if nominated, in preference to Seward, or any Southern Know-Nothing of the Bolts and Bell Blripo. Tho people have fully endorsed these posi tions.” Postponement op the Broderick Obsequies, Tho New York Sun of yesterday says that ou ae couut of tho inclement state of the weather on Sunday, the obsoquies in memory of the late Sena tor Broderick, of California, were again postponed till next Sunday. A large number of Californians assembled on Saturday evening at the Hone House, corner of Broadway and Great Jones street, for tho purpose of making arrangements for parti cipating in tho obsequies on Sunday. The Hou. J. J. Hoff presided, and Mr. J. M\ Douglass acted as secretary. No resolutions were passed, on account of the non-appearance of the gentleman who had them in chargo. It was deoided to wear nothing but the usual badge of mourning on the left arm. During tho meeting, a Mr. Everett, a gentleman who visited Mr. Broderick a short time after he received tho pistol shot, made an address.

The Wreck or the Royal Charter. Br the City of Baltimore «e retired brief «e -eounte of the wreck of the aonw etauhuhip Royal Charter, end of the fearful lew of life isralred therein. We are r.ow fa pouw loa ef rrurhio a*l oopioue detxtlr of the s*'' try. Doing driven tow*rut the snore, end as the veter iru rapidly shoaling, it became necesarr at about ten o'clock at night, to let go the austere, guns having been previously fired and rockets di£ charged in the hope of attracting a pilot, bat with* out success: The gtle, meantime, increased to a perfect hur ricane, and, at two o’clock in the morning, the port-anchor chain parted, and, abort!/ afterwards, the ship was beating on the rocks, in a place called Moelfra Bay. rear Puffin Island, on the coast of Anglesea. The masts were eat a war, bat without as 7 beneficial remit. About daylight (six o'clock) a sailor, with a cord Ued around his went, jumped overboard, and, al though the sea ran tremendously high, he sae seeded in reaching and maintaining a flaring on rocky shore, which was sot more then tea yards distant from the ship, but was almost per* pendicolar to the height of forty feet. A hawser was then got ashore, and a boatswain chair was at tached to it, with a view of hauling the psawtiaon and crew on shore. About a doien seamen were, by this means, soon landed, and it was boned all on board might be saved. ° At about seven o’clock, however, the waves heat ing against the ship's broadside with continued vio lence, she suddenly snapped asunder amidahire and tumbled in pieces. As the passenger* had anally kept below, large cumbers were killed by the trashing debris, and only twenty-six managed to get ashore, making the whole number saved only thir ty-nine out of a total {passengers and erew) of 493. Tho scene was terrible in the extreme. Many were washed on and off the rocks several times, and in numerous instances those who thought them selves secure on jutting rocks were honed back into the sea by the furious waves. Not a superior officer was saved, neither a «o man nor child. Captain Taylor exerted himself to the utmost, but waafinally struck cm the head while struggling in the water, by a boat foiling from the davits, and was seen no more. The destruction of the ship was rapid and com plete, so that "by eight o'clock nothing was visible but masses of wreck, mingled with bodies of the dead washed on the strand. The prostration of the telegraph wires, and the destruction by the sea of a portion of the Chester and Holyhead Railroad (which passes the loealiiy.) caused considerable delay in the reception of rite news at Liverpool, and a consequent loss of time ic sending tug boats to the spot. The vessel had oo board (supposed) 79,000 ounces of gold, besides a huge namberof sovereigns, estimated of the total value of from £700,000 to £300,000, and hopes were entertained that this might be recovered by divert. The Boy at Charter was as iron t nonet of 2,749 tons register, clipper built, and furnished with auxiliaiy serew engines. She was built in 1865, at a cost of over £90,000, and was insured for £80,009. Her general cargo was not very valuable—#rv £5,000 . 7 Of the persons on board the Royal Charter when she left Australia sixty-three were cabin pfwn gers, three hundred and twenty-five other paaeen gen and one hundred and twentv-thxee erew— total, fire hundred and eleven. Of these, seven teen passengers were landed at Queenstown, and thirty-nine were saved from the wreck! so that the total loss of iife Among those reckoned as crew were eleven riggers who were transferred from a tug-boat to the Royal Charter in the Channel for conveyance to Liverpool. Insurances were being effected at Lloyd's on the bullion at twenty-five per cent, ’premium. ACCQGSI BY A PAJBBXUEB—BAKES or 80KB 0* HU riLLOV-TRIVXUJU.

INTERESTING ACCOITXT OF THE VISIT OF YISISTE& WARD TO PSKIX. The North China Herald contains an interesting letter in regard to the movements of the American minister, and the ratification of the treaty. The following are extracts: Srancrae, Aug. 22,1859. The United States steam-frigate Powhatan, har ing on board John E. Ward, the United States minister, has just arrived from the Peiho. From her officers we learn the following items of news: On th% 16th ultimo, while the Powhatan was an chored off Peitang. there arrived an imperial edict, ordering that the American minister and suito of twenty should be escorted with all honor to Pekin, and that they should leave Peitang any day after tho 19th. The edict was in answer to % communication of the American minister, inform ing the authorities that he was present and ready to exchange the treaty at any time and place they might appoint. On the morniDg of the 20th, Mr. Ward ana suite arrived at Peitang, where they were received by an escort, and conducted to Pe kin with every show of respect. They first tra velled forty-five miles across the country in covered carts, striking the Fcibo some ten miles above Tien tsin, and thence proceeded in junks to Toong-chan, distant twelve miles from Pekin, of which u is the port. There they again took carts for the capital. The entire trip occupied eight days and a half, five of which were pas**! upon the river. They passed not less than six or eight barriers between Peitang and Toong-Chan-Non, none of them, how ever, being in repair, or backed by forts. The boatmen said they were partly to stop the English, and partly to afford shelter to junks when the ice was breaking up. The legation remained at Pekin fifteen days, during which time they were confined to their quarters; not, however, as prisoners, for they were at liberty at any moment to walk out, but the commissioners refused the use of horses and guides, leaving it optional with Mr. Ward to grant permission to walk out or not, as he saw fit. They would doubtless, however, have closed the gates en tirely, had not that gentleman taken a firm stand at the very first interview, informing Kwei Liang that as soon as his movements should be at all re stricted, he should elose all intercourse and demand a return escort. It seems that the Emperor was very anxious to see Mr. Ward, but that he also persisted upon his performing Kot e., prostrating himself nine times with his bead to the ground—which was positively refased, as being against the principles of his ExceUecey. The result of this was, that upon the fourteenth day of their stay it was concluded to receive the President’s letter at Pekin, and to send his Excellency back to Pei-iang to exchange the treaty, and next day they returned arrived at Fei-tang on the ICtb, and trea ties were then exchanged, and an English pri soner, named John Powell, given up. This man. who was a seaman on board of the Highflyer, ana who. with a sapper, had been captured on the 25th of June, fearing for his life, had proclaimed him self an Amerioan. The Chinese informed Mr. Ward of this, and intimated their readiness to give him up as an American if he would demand him. This, h wever, the latter could cot do, as the man had been taken while fighting under the flag of another nation. Anxious to serve the poor fellow, he intimated that it would be a great personal fa vor if they would turn him over, and as sech it was done. Ho is now on board of the Powhatan. Of the sapper nothing more is known than that he was still a prisoner. The correspondent of the London Tinss thinks the whole affair was a humiliation to a great nation, *nd was intended as such. The British and French ministers remained at Shanghae. . „ , „ The American msn-of-war were disposed of as follows: Mississippi and Powhatan at Shanghae ; Toey-Wan at Gull Pecheli, and the German town 4 A*arge business had been done in tea at Foo Chow foo for the United Statee, at unchanged prices.
