The substantial completion of the plan of the western tract by the Central Park Commision, as adopted at the meeting of the Board November 25, 1867, and the probabilities of the immediate develop- ment of the city in thisdirection, have diverted the eyes of real estate speculators to this tract as likely 4 inmerease more rapidly in value than any other tract within the limits of the metropolis, as is obvious from the annals of real estate transfers for the past ‘three weeks. It was but last week that the proceeds ef a single day’s sales of uptown lots by a single firm amounted to over a million and a quarter dollars, the number of lots sold being two hundred and forty- six. The location of these lots was on Fifty-seventh, Fifty-eighth and Fifty-ninth streets, between Sixth and Seventh avenues, and on Sixty-seventh, Sixty- eighth and Sixty-nimth streets, between Tenth and Eleventh avenues, or along the line of the new Boule- vard. One corner lot brought the large sum of $36,000, and several others went at an enormous advance on previous prices. These and like transactions in real estate exhibit in its trac light the eitect of the recent efforts of the Ceniral Park Commission to de- velop the upper tract on the we: make room for the city in this direction, Bi ard lots, next to lots bordering on the Central Park, are in first de- mand, though holders seem not to be disposed at present to put their tr im the market, apprehen- sive, of course, and. justly so, of an unprecedented rise in values within a short time. Hol of lots on adjacent streets are, however, less reticent in this respect, and sell ireely, though not without a liberal advance in pric 3 transactions on Sixty-seventh, Sixty-eighth, Sixty-ninth and 10éth streets abun- dantly prove. Within three weeks the transfers along the western tract, mostly between the new Boulevard and the boundary of the Park, have amounted to nearly one and a half million of dollars, principally along the streets above mentioned; and within the next three weeks a still heavier aggregate of sales may be justiy anticipated, In view of these facts, therefore, there is no topic of greater interest to the public than the matter-of-fact discussion of the present condition of this tract and what is likely to be done on it within the present year. SIXTH AVENUE, ABOVE THE PARK, is the only thoroughfare at present under treatment, the suggested treatment of this avenue by the Com- mission having been already confirmed by the Su- preme Court, for the sanction of which other features of the plan of November 25 are still waiting. The Commissioners of Assessment were appointed on this avenue August 5, 1865, and proceeded with their work, though rather lazily, es it, however, in time for the report of 1867, Workmen were dis- posed along the e of this thoroughfare last week upon receipt of the decree of confirmation by the court, and the work will be got weil under way in the course of the present summer. ‘The line of Sixth avenue is direct and wnornamental, and forms above the Park simply a business continuation of the thoroughfare below. One new avenue run- ning westward tn a diagonal direction connects it with the grounds of the Convent of the Sacred Heart, while Manhattan street connects it in the same direc- tion with the new Boulevard on Eleventh avenue. This avenue has been widened from the Park north- ‘ward, and, though no designs have been subinitted for its ornamentation, will without doubt constitute @ business thoroughfare of some importance, bearing Ertan about the same relation to Broadway at the ulevard above the Park that its ancestor, Sixth avenue below, bears to Broadway from Bleecker street to Fifty-ninth street. In short, it will natu- rally develop into a street of smaii retail stores, lying midway between the aristocratic Fifth aud the orna- mented Seventh avenue. Its grades are generally easy, the line of the avenue falling into the Harlem river, or rather cutting the exterior street ou the Harlem shore, near 140th street. The grade of SEVENTH AVENUE, ‘when the duty of developing it fell into the hands of the Commission, had been already fixed as high as 135th street, beyond which no grade had been fixed. Publicnotice was immediately given of a pro- posed alteration of the grade as far north as this line ‘and of a proposed fixing of the grade to Harlem shore, the extensive street of which is cut at Cen- tral bridge, near 155th street, at which point it also effects a junction with Macomb’s lane. The assent of the requisite two-thirds majority having been ob- tained, notice was given to occupants along the ave- nue to remove their fences and piantations from the ground of the avenue. The grade as Indicated by the natural level of the avenue, which, it was thought, wonld best subserve the purposes of busi- meas, necessitated a deep rock cut of about haifa mile in length, with a depth of from one to forty feet, throagh th ‘lem bluffs to the line of the exterior street, This grade necessitates the expense ofremoy- 465,000 cubic yards of excavation, of which 308,000 will be solid rock and only 147,000 will be earthy ma- terial or soll. The higher grade, on the other hand though interfering with the level of the avenue, avould have involved 191,000 cubic yards less of rock excavation. As the law stood then and stands now it was necessary that the work should be done by contract b the lowest bidder—a mode of doing work ‘which often leads to great inconvenience and delay, as contractors, unless guarded by written stipulation, and eyen then, are capable of in@king no littie ‘trouble, It has been suggested, in fact, that the Centra! Park Board should be invested with more arbitrary powers in the developing of these streets and should not only be at liberty to reject any bid of unreliable persons, but as well at liber to perform ‘the work partly by contract and brand yy day labor under thy Fro n especial supervision. The width of dhis avenue was estabilshed by law, when the for- Tier grading was fixed, at one nundred and fifty feet, Jeaving ihe Board no discretion in the matter, and the ordinances of the Corporation allot twenty-two feet only to parpoete of sidewalk. = On Phin avenue, the éotrtyards, steps, stoo) areas, railings and the like occupy thirty feet of whole width (one hundred), and, consequently, public way of one hundred feet has really been re- fegt only available for purposes of .dravel, If othér obstructions, a3 lamp-posts, hy- dianls and trees, be taken into account also, the width of this avenue really avatiable for travel or rriages 1s really only sixty-five feet, which gives ‘altogether too latge an allowance for private struc- tures; though on Fifth — being really a fashionahic thoroughfare, this ing of public land for pri yy be permissible for purposes of elegance of surrounding and general ornamentation. In improving Seventh avenue the Board have deemed it best to crabrace an opportunity for the reformation of this rather objectionable practice. Assuming th wer to be invested in the Board, it has been deemed best to preserve the I figures of the whole width for public use, though the innovation upon established custom will undoubtedly meet with opposition from property owners. As a justification of the practice, on the other hand, it is —_ that if owners are rmnitted to place their stoops, steps, areas and rail- ms within the line of the street a uniform width of duced to sevent 3 these append is secured, as well as a uniform line of house fronts on the exact legal line of the and that if owners are compelied to build steps, dc, within the limits of their own lots | ersity of these appurtenances in width (sov- ered altogether by | ay whim) would create an irregular and tasteless line of house fronts. As these appendages are not built very high the light , not interfered with, though Uts if not the case with the width of the street way. No law exists, however, to compel | any one to batid exactly on the street line, and the owner may, if he desires, set back his edifice at any distance. “Custe ppearance and the desire to make the most given lot generally induce the occupancy of to thi# line, and so it would be | h Af these appendages were not pern yond the street line. This objection ¢ owners is therefore of lite validity, and may be dis- Missed Without further comment A second objection on the part of property owners is, however, of greater importance and merits eon- sideration. ' Jt is urged that if owners of lots on the avenue are permitted to use & reasonable portion of Mt for courtyards, kept in excellent order and em- beliished with flowers and statuary, this is really a public use of the same, since thesé grounds or te width taken becomes pleasant accessories to the | avenue, and serve to render it agreeable to public taste. The Commission have substentially decided, however, to use the concession with guarded caution, | so that the whole width of way may be resumed at any future period if desirable. No stracture within the street limita will be granted, except as a tempo- Fary affair, and no appearance of solid or permanent occupancy will be, therefore, on the part of property owners, adinissibie, A license or easement of any Trmanent sort gives rise to questions of an exceed- ingly complicated nature, and it being dimMcult to Tetract a concession once given without considera- ble inconvenience, the conditions upon which the grant is made ‘should be carefully guarded, and ail structures should = be _ forbidden which cannot removed withont damage to any adjacent lot. Moreover, ae the neglect of an in- dividual owner here and there to maintain his court. yard in proper order might be oveasion of offence to the public taste, the should be accompanied with proper artic! ant on the part of owners to whotn the privilege is granted to maintain their yards in cerialn prescribed conditions of culture and ornatment. Any t to comply Would in this case annul the grant and compel tr owner, upgn due notice, to remove ail structur from the pilic ground, ‘The disposition of pri owners to exceed their limite bud, perhaps, » Justification in the days when cities were simy iaces of refuge from wandering and nomadic jordes, and were confined by encircling walls. | Every foot of space was tien needed for occupation | it appears that the accused obtained by some means within the bene | ey walls, and narrow | a number of genuine soldiers’ bean pay and streets, of whic e amall space occupied Was | the real offence consists in procuring ‘partes wo even trespassed upon, were among the conse- | answer tothe parties described in these discharges | quences, tuned by rivers, the situation of New | for ‘he purpose of obtaining Mp’ back pay, a | some degree’ analogous t that | The examination was adjourned until Monday nex though means of ingress and | It is more than provable the prisoners will be able to ny that the rtver yonndaries are of | escape the mesice of the law.—Jfulo courier, comparatively smal) IncopVentence.

Something of the artistic effect of setting back houses fromm the street line may be seen in the eral ensemble of London terrace on Twenty-thid street; aud a sccond and ratuer clumsy rt ata similar effect, has been made on Fourth avenue, be- tween Thirty-nmth and Forticthstreets. A third ai- tempt, less abortive than the latter, is aiso visible on Fourth avenue, between Eigiieenth and Nine- teenth streets, where the houses are set back flit feet from the avenue, In the former case on Fourt avenue the iollowing fuecg the genera! plan:— Sidewalk...

A couple of further plans were submitted, one of which, with some modification, was adopted, in which the bridle road was excluded. These plans contemplated Tespec- oe the following sub-division the space al- ol ial Feet.

It has been deomed best to give the sidewalks a width of thirty feet, and this idea will undoubtedly form a part of the general surface improvement of all the pp ravenues, The report of the Commissioner for 1867 (not yet printed) will exhibit gratifying p1 in the work of open- ing this thoroughfare to the Harlem shore, and it may be expected to take its place as an avenue of travel somewhat earlier than any other thoroughfare under the control of the Sixth avenue will follow next in order, and next in order the line of the new Boulevard, now the most important line on the western tract. The Eleventh avenue has already been opened to the Kingsbridge road, which it cuts at 155th street, and will be graded and worked this season, The lower Peis of the Boulevard in its deviations ml the Bloomingdale road is now in the hands of the Corporation Counsel for confirmation by decree of the court, and nothing is likely, therefore, to be done on this line for some months, as in fact is the case with nearly all the deviations from the old pian Which have been adopted by the Commission. How long it will be, therefore, before any surface im- provement can take place remains to be decided, or rather hangs rece the expedition of the functionar, who now has the matter in hand. Both the Sixtl and Seventh avenues are to be one hundred and fiity feet wide from the Park to the Harlem river, ‘THE EAST SIDE DRIVE. Another subject, to which little attention has been attracted, may admit here of a discussion. This is constituted by the new road to be opened from the Cy end of these avenues along the [Harlem Heights at a sufiictent elevation to command an unob- structed view of the intervening valley. This road will pass under High Bridge, and then crossin at Tubby Hook will follow the east bank of the Hudson at ® sufficient height to overlook the most elevated buildings on the livershore, Ths will connect with the Boulevard at the Riverbank avenue, and thus the Park, left at the Seventh ayentie gate, may be entered again at Fifty-ninth street. ‘This drive is to be one hundred and fifty feet in width, and will in due season be made to double and fold round the upper part ofthe island at Spuyten Duyvil creek, thus forming a continuous drive on the river heights around the entire northern and western tracts. It will be graded splendidly, with a view to pleasure driving, and shaded with parallel rows of trees, after the manner wroposed for the improve- ment of Seventh avenue. improvement will give one continuous drive from the Park via Seventh ave- nue to the river, along the river bank to a point op- posite Tubby Hook, across the island to Tubby Hook and thence down along the Hndson river heights to the Riverbank avenue, or down the Boulevard to the Fifty-ninth street gate.

The remainder of the ceremonies were then proceeded with and terminated shortly before tweive o'clock, St. Patrick’s Dag will be celebrated at the Cathedral with great soleMbity, and the musical arrangements will, ‘t is intended, be of @ grand description. MOLY TRINITY, Rev. Stephen H. Tyng, Jr., in His Pulpit. Holy Trinity, corner of Forty-second street and Madison avenue, was crowded yesterday morning with an assemblage of the most fashionable attend- ants of divine service in the city. Every pew con- tained one or more than its allotted number, and stools were placed by busy sextons along the aisles to accommodate the rush of religious sensationists who had gathered anticipating that Mr. Tyng would allude to the late trial in which he appeared so Prominent, or to his more recent “admonition” by ishop Potter. In this they were sadly disappointed. After the usual introductory services of morning worship were gone through with—the large congregation impressively ler aes ‘Tyn, approached the desk in the centre of the pulpit, and, while eager eyes looked expectantly and complacent countenances indicated the commencement of a spley Toate sald in a feeling but distinct manner:— “Tt lly necessary for me to to my own people and others accustomed to worskip here that this pulpit is never degraded by personal vindica- tions, nor made the place to pander to partisan feel- ings, but from it only can be heard the simplest vindication of the Gospel. Those among you that have come for any other purpose will be disap- inted, but it may be good that you are ere, aS some of the simplest truths of the Gos) may find a resting place in your hearts, helping you to eternal salvation.” A slight rastling through the church followed this, attestun the disappointment of some and the disgust o: others, but, Sonenntal, Mr, Tyng, just as the sun that had been darkened by the mist of the morning broke through its cloud shadow, sending its genial light with a peculiar eifect upon the brilliant toilets within the church—an omen not unnoticed by the reacher—announced his text as the 8th verse of the 4th chapter of Jeremiah:—"O the hope of Israel, the Saviour thereof in time of trouble, why shouldst thou be as a stranger In the dand, and as a wayfaring man that turneth aside to tarry fora night?’ From this Mr. Tyng preached an eloquent sermon of exhortation in reference to the nearness of Christ to His followers on earth, and His infinite mercy to all believers, sencing: three great truths, and exhorting his hearers in fervent Janguage to heed and recollect them, viz:—First, Jesus loves to be with His people; second, Jesus does not enter a heart that loves sin more than Himself; third, prayers for His ag in our hearts must spring from penitence. ‘The large con- gregation, after the — closing services, then dispersed, many of them, as they wended their Way froin the church, expressing satisfaction at the fervor of Mr. ‘Tyng’s exhortation, but disappointment in regard to their visit. ST, GEORGE'S EPISCOPAL CHURCH, A very large and fashionable congregation assei- bied at this church yesterday, ostensibly for the pur- pose of Divine worship, but more probably in antici- pation of the reading of the “protest”? by Rev. Dr. ‘Tyng, which he had prepared against the admoni- tlon of the Right Rev. Bishop Potter to Rev. Stephen Tl. Tytig, Jr., Oh Saturday. At the close of the intro- ductory services Dr. Tyng ascended the puipit and announced as his text, a bt of the third verse o' the ninth chapter of the k of the prophet Jere- miah:—But they are not valiant for the truth upon the earth.” This theme aroused somewhat of an expectation that its (er would be to the re- cent events connected with the charges, trial, sen- tence and recent censure of the junior Tyng; but the edge was completely worn off when the reverend geutieman in an early stage of his discourse an- pounced that he did notintend to treat the subject in a controversial inanner, but wholly in relation to its religious bearings, a statement which was rigtdly adhered to throughout to the peignant regret oi the quidnuncs, LECTURE AT ST. ANDREW'S ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH. The Rev. Dr. O'Hara, of Syracuse, delivered a lec- ture last evening at St. Andrew’s church, corner of Duane street and City Hall place, for the benefit of the poor of the parish, taking for his subject “Ire- land and St. Patrick.” The reverend lecturer pre- faced his remarks with the quotation, “I have chosen you that you may bring forth fruit, and that your fruit remain.” He described the liberation of the children of Israel from Egypt, the selection of the aposties and thetr entrance upon the missions assigned them by their divine Master. He stated that without the stamp of the true Churey thelr labors would be vain, and as fruitless as the barren fig tree cursed by the Saviour. He referred then to the sending of St. Patrick as apostle to Ireland 4 Pope Celestine. He would not refer, he sald, to the advent of Patrick in treiand or to his early history, which ix known to everybody, or to his efforts in converting a Pagan nation into a Christian nation. The reverend Doctor referred briefy to the various achieyements of the Irish peopie in ail ages. He quoted from history to show the enlightenment enjoyed by the people of Ireland while their peighbors were croveliiug in intellectual darkness, babarism and slavery. nowed that although everywhere assatied and trodden down by bitter foes, ireland had preserved the faith as im- parted to it by .

TAINITY GHAPEL. ‘The Rev. Prof. George FP. Seymour, D. D., repeated by special request last evening, under the auspices of the American Charch Union, bis sermon recently delivered in Zion church, The text was “In fastings,” second Corinthians, sixth chapter, a part of the fifth verse. The argument was briefly this:— God enjoins upon men in ‘he most solemn manner the observance of the seventh day as sacred to Him- self, He includes the command in the Decalogue which He gave from Mount Sinai under the most awful sanctions, He wrote it with His own finger on @ table of stone. Almost all, however, who pro- fess and call themselvesClriatians do not now keep the seventh day holy a8 God commanded, but observe aepereeerore att a sations—viz, ‘The scriptural for in both fretting is bed on Goa’ express commend the New; on Set arly Guay to those who unostenta- ee ane si M in this duty.

PLYMOUTH CHURCH, BRCOKLYN, Rey. Henry Ward Beecher preached yesterday morning to @ crowded congregation in Piymouth church, He commended to the attention of his hear- ers the American Home Missionary Society, and re- quested that a coilection should be taken up in aid of the objects included tu the programme of that ass9- ciation. At the evening service Mr. Beecher addressed a large body of the Young Men’s Christian Association, He called upon them, in very. forcible terms, to be earnest in all their rts, to be enthusiastic in the cause of God, and he remarked that in propertion to their hidden life would be their power to do good, They should exhibit in all their actions the working of internal re!izious spirit and devotion, and upon taking in hand any cause that was worthy the blessing and protection of Heaven they should be thoroughly impressed with the conviction that they would be able to carry it through. It had been siated that on one occasion, when Adtiral Dupont, one of the ablest men of the American navy, was explaining to Admiral Farragut the reasons why he had not been able to enter the bay of Charleston and capture the forts, Farragut said to him;—“Ah, Du- pont, you did not believe you could do ft, and that ts ihe reason.” Lo, if young men had work before them to do, and beileved taey could not do it, they never would do it! STS. PETER AND PAUL'S CHURCH, WILLAMSEURG. Reuben J. Parsons, D. D., last evening read before a large and appreciative audience, at thia church, a carefully prepared paper entitled “The Union of Ne- ligion and Patriotism; or, What a Cathollc Irishman Should Be.” Thelearned Doctor prefaced his lecture with the remark that in the history of nations there are certain periods in the history of peoples which bring out their patriotism; but in all religion and patriotism go hand in hand, and should be in- dissoluble. Love of country is as old as the diversity of civilized communities; but it is seldom found to exist in the hearts of tyrants and demagogues. It is, our duty, therefore, to contribute to cement the union Wi tyrants and demgaogues desire to dissever. In all ages the priesthood nurtured 3 Pngiat eventing, lands the putting of a in the condition of a constable interferes with his usefulness. Lately we have read in respectable Trish Ripa sentiments which we only look for in infidel continental journals. There is no good reason for the expression of such sentiments, for the soldier of liberty need never leave the lines gf the Church, There is a kind of patriotism in vogue wich is not more than self-love. It is this which impels Englan to keep its hold on Ireland, Russia on Poland, Tarkey on Crete, But true patriotism is that love of country which causes man to labor for the well-being of his compatriots, and religion combined with patriotism brings forth the civilization of nations. Dr. Parsons concluded by paying a glowing tribute to Washing- ton, who combined more than any other man-religion and patriotism. LUTHER AND THE REFORMATION. Lecture by ‘Father Hecker in St. Peters Church, Jersey City. Last evening a lecture was delivered in St, Peter’s church, Jersey City, by Father Hecker. The lecturer opened in the following strain:—We shall all agree, my friends, whatever be our religious differences, that being of one nature we should not be found in hostile attitude towards each other. The Church, receiving its commission from a Divine Founder and embracing all classes of human beings, was inits nature divine and human. By virtue of this commission it was exempt from error, and its immobility was assured in the charge to St. Peter, “On this rock will I bulld my Church.”? That there were bad bad bishops and bad priets no intelligent Catholic will deny. Nor will any one be foolish enough to sup that popes or priests are supernatural bel drop) down from the heavens. On the contrary, they are subject to the same frailties and imperfections as any ordinary mortal. Abuses have existed in the Church from the primitive ages. The lecturer here recounted the different heresies which had Sprung up, but the Church out-lived them ail. ‘The Church is not composed exclusively of saints, for Christ declared that there must needs be scandal, but “woe be to him by whom scandal cometh.” Still we are not to pronounce against the Church for its abuses, Have not good —, oftentimes bad children? Yet we cannot blame the parents always. In the Christian Church the is ever struggling to overcome the bad; hence the Church is called the iitiitant, or fighting, Church, Father Hecker then proceeded to review the history of the reformation in the sixteenth century, quoting fre- uently from Protestant historians. His discourse throughout was replete with valuable information on the causes that led to thatjsecession of a large por- tion of the Church, THE SPIRITUALISTS. A Trance Mediwn at Dodworth Hall—Qucer Nervous ExhibitionsSome Words About Visible and Invisible Means, ‘The First Spiritualists’ Society at Dodworth Hail pro- greases swimmingly in respect to the number of its audiences since the abolition of the ten cent admis- sion. Free toallis now the motto—the freedom ex- tending not only to the point of admission gratis, but also to the exercise of exceeding freedom alter the den has been entered. Yesterday morning Dr. Hallock explained to the assemblage of the faithful exactly what the country expected of Spiritualism (if it ever expected anything)}—though the reverend gentleman with the degree omit- ted very properly to explain what Spiritu- ualism expected of the country—a question of far greater importance than the former, though more intimately connected with the having of visible sof support. To be sure, it is @ part of the creed of the ism in question to rely on rather invisible means for that purpose, and not a few succeed re- markably well in 80 doi but, on the whole, it is better to have the visible means on hand, even erg! apres has really no use forthem, It answers the requirements of the law, if nothing more; and while one is in the world, it is of the ut- most importance to live legally and by visible means. People who live otherwise are often subjected to little annoyances which, for one’s comfort in living, ought to be scrupulously avoided. Arrests are sometimes made at the instance of less ethereal le, Who cannot support themselves without visible means, and are naturally envious of people who can. People have (very unjustly, to be sare), been Imprisoned for the fact of having no visible means of support on 4, even though tltey had no need of them, and could live without them just as well as not; and little accidents of this: sort are aiways disagreeable and troublesome. To be locked up as @ Vagrant on a mere formality—the mere for- mality of being required to have what one has no need of—is an incident that often occurs to very spiritually-minded people: for the police have no respect for spiritnal-mindedness asa rule, and have been Known to arrest persons professing it for the mere spite of the — Tt is a way they have of dotng things; and, therefore, though a real spiritualist of the first water has really no need of visible means of support and no occasion to use them, it is alw etter to avoid all possible annoyance and comp! with the regulations. Not having done so, people have suffered very unjustly sometimes, and, not doing 80, people will be very lixels to suffer again for tae same reason. It is very hard to convince the world that visible means of siipport are not an actual necessity of proper existence, to say aothing of aub- sistence, and some little respect ought to be pald to vopular prejudice, espectally in this respect. People Rave been heard of who did not believe ‘that the ravens consented to act as a commissary department for Elijah; and people there be also who have been in the wilderuess under similar circumstances and avens never came near. In other Words, when ‘avens were depended upon tie ravens did not come.

SPECIAL CORRESPONDENCE OF THE HERALD. The Barlingame Missi Regatta Contest— The Rebcliion—From Hankow to Cal by Burmah—fire in the imperial Paluc Swananax, Jan. 10, 1868, Since my last letter the only news of any import- ance is the appointment of the Hon. A. Burlingame, late United States Minister, to be Chinese Ambassi- der to the principal Powers of Europe. Mr. McLevy Brown, former!y of her British Majesty's legaiion, aud Mons, Deschamps, of the imperial maritime customs service, now form a part of his suite, which left Pekin November 25, 1867, and proceeded as far a3 Hoo-se- woo, when they heard of mounted robbers being in front, also a party of five hundred rebels within twelve li. ‘Therefore Mr. Burlingame wrote ior relief, which came on the 28th of November froi ‘fientsin and Pexix, Captain Dunlop, of her British Majesty’s | gunboat Dove, was despatched to the rescue with a party of marines. From Pekin came Mr. Murray, of ler Britannic Majesty's legation, also the Secretary, Mr. Conolly, Mr, Barber and the Cossacks from the Russian legation; and the forces brought to bear against the Che Ma Tsay soon caused the robbers to disperse and the besieged party arrived in safety about the 29th of November, and on the 6th of December leftin the Dove, which arrived at Taku in the evening, after which, they came to Shanghae in the Ashuelot. The selection of Mr. Bur! for this oflce i8 very good, because of his knowl of Chinese affairs, while his astuteness and well known tact as a diplo- matist serve to qi him for the honorable ‘There has been muc! time alone will prove whether this novel idea isa wise one or not. At present there is great diversity Conon on the subject. Sir Edmund Hornby, Chief Judge in her Britannic Majesty’s Supreme Court, was married on December $ to Miss Mary H. Hudson, ‘The sailing regatta came off on December 2, and the yacht Vision won the race. The Fearless met with a slight accident to her jibboom, whereupon her owner challenged the winner in a race for 1,000 The shock of an earthquake was felt here on De- cember 18, about ten A. M., when most pendulum clocks stopped. At Nii r shock was felt the same convulsion; bells swung to and fro at each vibration. The establishment of a home for destitute Chinese, which the Rev. Mr, Butcher has begun, has attracted attention to the fact that no system has been organized for the relief of distressed foreigners—Briti and American-and others—which are to be seen about the settlement, and we hope steps will be taken for their benefit. The rebels have been driven three hundred li from Chefoo, and a Nienfi chief was killed; whereu} the Imperial General Li, who saw the exploit perial column achieve a victory, rewarded his man with 10,000 taels. This is quite in accordance with the Chinese dramatic style of relating intelligence. However, the fact so inspired the imperial troops with a spirit of emulation, ac- companied by a longing for taels foc'siory to, ‘that they made some thirty chiefs prisoners in various encounters, From these accounts the Chinese here a] to believe they will soon be able to quell the rebellion entirely. A report is current hi that the imperial troops in Hankow have mutinied. They were quartered at San-Tseng, a town situated four hundred miles up the river Han, where they are so comfortable as to refuse going against the Shantung rebels or the revolted Mohammedans in Sankan. An Englishman, named T. T. Cooper, has lately started on a rather singular trial trip, to from Hankow through Burmah to Calcutta, a route by which some merchants propose to transport their c= ‘The gentleman started before, accompanied yy some Jesuit priests, who turned back; so th e he pursues the voyage of discovery quite alone. ews from Chefoo states that the rebels are march- ing south aud the country is still in a chronic state of rebelli There have been several skirmishes with the imperialists, but to the benefit of neither side, Al: junk was burned during the night of the 2ist, owing to the strong gale blowing. ‘Thirty. five men were drowned. She ran on the rocks, and no assistance could be given from the shore. At Chinkiang some bands of Nienfi rebels came up eneeae the river on the north bank and distin- guished themselves by plundering some cash and opium shops, which are generally defenceless. From Pekin we have intelligence via Chinkiang to the effect that a fire broke out in the imperiai palace, and which threatened to prove serious, but fortu- nately no damage was done.
