On the part of the Chinese this feeling of friendship is fully re- ciprocated. They are never tired of talking of their journeyings in the New World and of the kindness, hospitality and generosity of the American people. Indeed, so interested are they in the affairs of the United States that they might almost be taken for an embassy from that country a3 well as their own. Since their arrival in London the Chinese have re- sided at the Grosvenor Hotel, a vory large and fash- tonable estabhshment at the Victoria station of the Brighton Railway. The hotel is ono of those im- mense edifices which the English ratilway companies have erected at nearly every terminus in London, wud the Chinese have sceured exclusively the whole of the second floor, consisting not only of an ampie number of bedrooms and dressing rooms, but also of magnificent saloons, very elegantly furnished and ying with the best hotels of New York tn comfort ‘y. if the Chinese are not so much at home Jere as in the United States it 1s solely on account of iiaate, wh is already cold, wet and wintry. ALD hus already recorded the cool rece} e which the Engtish press and pub- ed upon this important embassy Minister bare ee is too good a feel this change in the popular at- overn him: uccordingly. Conse- urse and rest int ments than whem among their American friends. ‘They icel ibat they are porsons of rank and distinc. tion, eulrueted with a diplomatic mission of the ut- most imporiance, and they also techghat the English people have been udiced inst them and that tis prejudice must be lived down and overcome, They do not go ous here as they did in America. They haye attended no places of amusements, Some of Gem have Deen to see a few of the sights of Lon- don; but this was done very quietly and unostenta- tiously. They are anxious not to make @ show of themselves and will not be brought into anything that will lay them open to the sneer of beng a corps: Shinese performers. This shows that they uader- stand the hnglish } eople as weil as = unerstood the Americaus, Among friends they lald off all re- serve; #iuong prejudiced opponents they stand upon the dignity of tielr mission. It ia, however, but justice to add that the British government has not imitated the indigerence of the press, although I believe that the government ad- vised this indifference in order to gain an apparent point in dealing with the embassy, As you already know by telegraph the ambassadors have called upon Lord Staniey ofiiciaily, and I am now able to give you the details of that interview. Minister Burlin- game haying notified Lord Stanley of the arrival of the em & reply was received expressi: Lord Stanley's gratuication and fixing a time for the re- ception at the Foreign Office, At the hour named the ambassadors drove up and were very. cordially received by Lord Stanley, hav- ing been duced by Minister Burlingame. Mr. Reverdy Jolson, who ought to have performed this ceremony in order to have given the endorsement of the United States to the enibassy, was out of town preparing auotier friendty speech for the secession zers at Leeds, Without committing him- olf in regard to the new treaty, Lord Stanley spoke very earpestly of the pleasure it afforded him to re- ye such an empha and to welcome China among reat family of progressive nations, His remarks having been translated to the Chinese, Minister Bur- lingame deitvered @ brief reply. Lord Stanley then romised to preseut the ambassadors to the Queen mumediately m the retura of her Jesty from Bahuoral t Windsor Castle, and the interview, which seomd to be mutuatly satisfactory, terml- nated very agroeabiy. Lord standly espectally ex- pressed his pleasure at the appointment of Mr. Bur- lingame as ihe chief ambassador from China and appeared eager to have the embasay understand that ke had no prejudices nor jealousies in pegard to their mission, ‘Minister Burlingame looka forward to 9 ngthened stay 'n Englaud and arrangements havo been made for the ambassadors to visit the cuief eke and places of interest tn the Kingdom; but it is deemed prudent to remain quietiy in London until after the tormal reception of the embassy by the Queer. When this formality ts compieted the inaction of the am- bassadors will be succeeded by a wiurl of persed and enicriainments, among whicha splendid dinner, given by the Lord Mayor of London city, is aiready in contemplation. ‘The objects of the embassy have only to be thoroughly known in England to seenre a epentancous public dcknowledgment of they merits, and the adverse comments of the prejudiced press ‘wil all be hushed when royalty Itself stamped the mission with official approbation. But even now, aithough diplomatic London is realty “out of town,” some of the leading personages in society have called upon the ambassadors, and Minister Builingeme has entertained Dean Stanley ana other notahilities at dinner, although be is as yet obiiged to refuse the usual return for such hos} oe Alter the Queen has received tho embassy all seeh sockad courtesies willbe en regle, ‘The ambassadors comprehend perfectly that cer- tain interesis in England are opposed to their mis- sion and to the peaceful and progressive spirit in which this embassy to Europe has been eoncelved and carried out. “But they algo meena where there are no diMcuities to be overcome there is Iittic credit to be gained, and I believe that aa th regard Boiand as the government most likely t create obstacles in their Way, so they ppproaca the task of diplomatic negotiauons here with the most zest and enthusiasm. ‘The embassy % composed, as the Americans know, of scholars ana theinen who are not likely to swerve from the jndicious and dignttied course appropriate to their ewn ebaracters and the objects of their mission. They will dea therefore, with the English government direetly an simply, and the utterances of the press ean neither cdistarb their equavimity nor defeat thelr inten- tions, still it would be unjust to say that they do not feel the diticrence between the evid for- malities of their reception here and the hearty on- thusiasm of thelr welcome in the United States, ‘They do feel tt, they feel 1t deeply and keenly; Dat tt only inc ' their affection for the Ameneans and must wit ony injure, instead of benesung, Bug- jh interests; for the ambaszacdors send homo to China full reports of everything that occurs, and the an‘iorities in China fully comprehend the distinction betwoen American friendship and English neutrality, which, a3 usual, is but another name for English hea ey. Another point which shows how intimately the Chtucse and Americans are connected in present € rapat 4 fature interests ts the fact that Aiints- ter Bur! iless Onds a great jealousy of the Uniicd Sates and a disi to the deotded lead which our government has taken tm regard to the new Chino: y.

But this ts improbable, as the the Pope in his address to the Eastern bishops only states that he i greatly anxious about the salvation “of all Christian souls,’* whence it is certainly to be inferred that he expects neither Jews, Mussulmen nor Pagans at the Council. This tendency towards an universal embrace sounds very well, but the practical result cannot and will not correspond. Pius 1X. has tried it already— once unsuccessfully, In 1808 he addressed the Enoy- clica in supreme Wo the Easicrn schismatics, inviting them to return to the true Church, but the Emperor Nicholas prohibited the introduction of the letter into Russia, and tened to banish his bishops to Si- been and kuout their diocesana in case of disobeat- ee. The prisoners tried by the Consulta tribunat forthe first category of insurrectionary oifences last Au- tumn have had sentence passed on them, Mouti and Bossi are condemned to death and the others to the galleys, but it is said that the Pope intends to re- mit the capita! punishment, The same tribunat bas been tying three criminais for a crime which sum- ciently demonstrates the state of morals among the peasants around Rome, After drinking copiously in an osteria at @ little town named Zugarola, these men declared that they would kul the trst R r30R they encountered on leaving the wine shop. ‘The lot of slayer fell on one of thelr number, wie Juimedi- ately after met his own father in the street, but pro- tested against killing him, promising to settle tho business of the second comer instead, This hap- pened to be the Mayor, or Priore of the town, wlio, go.ng quietly towards his home, was shot dead witi- Out remorse by the gratuitous aseassiv. ‘The energy of the italian military commanders las nearly destroyed briganduge in tho southern provinces of the kingdom, but there are still danger- ous and rapacious bands on the Papal territory, the prince one, shout forty strong, being ensconced the forest of Caserta, under the command of Panici.

SUPREME COURT—SPECIAL TERM. The Ruuuing of City Ratironds on Brondway~ The Old Dry Dock Railroad Caso. Before Judgo Sutheriand, Ths People, e., vs. The Dry Dock, Last Broad- way and Battery Railroad Company.—It will be remembered that in the fall of 1860, im the interval from Saturday night to Sunday evening, the defena- anis extended thelr railway track from its present southern teraitnus at Ann street and Broadway, in front of the Hunap Building, diagonally across and down Broadway to Fulton strect, west, with a view of making a through connection tothe Battery, An injunction was granted in this suit by Jadge Suther- lana, temporarily enjoining the defencants from running their cars over the newly laid track, and requiring them to take up the raila, and yeater+ day the case came up on trial, the plaintiffs «le- manding judgment that the railway company bo perpetually enjoined from Iayimg rails or running cars over the route referred to. For the plaintur it was claimed that the act was wholly beyond the right guaranteed to the defend- 3 by their charter, Which permitted them to jay and rum and operate their rafiroad “to Broad- way. The question of public inconvenience, also, which is the most important consideration to the people, was also discussed at some length. The defence Pte that the right granted to the company to lay their ralis to Broadway meant the right to Jay raiis and run as far as the centre of the roadway of that thoroughfare, and that, power being also by thelr charter eXtended to them to construct and run their line through Fulton and other streets west of Lroadway to tie Battery, they have also the right to operate their road to the centre of Broadway from Futton street, west, thus making thelr connec- tion in the middle of the street, Otierwise the com- pany was prevented trom enjoying the franchises conferred upon ther ip thele charter. Whe plaintiid? further contended that even if the charter provided that the defendants might run their road “across” Broadway, the runniug of the track from the JiexaLD Building to Futton street woula be an excess of that privilege, as it wouid inyoive the running of cars not only “across”? Broadway, but “down and upon that thoroughfare, by reason of tts oblique direction, tor a distance of 105 feet. .

Plaintiff was Ina peculiarly delicate condition at the time and claimed on this trial that ber life and that of her unborn child were greatly endangered in consequeace of the ili treattnens she recetved from Callery. The defendant, tn his answer, claimed that he ex- ercised no more than necessary means for the arrest of the plaintiff and that it was 60 exercised solely in the discharge of his duty. Some superb swearing was done by the witnesses on both sides, frou which If could be gleaued with a presumption of credibility, that Mrs. Greer was en- deavoring to prevent the arrest of her husband, who was involved more ov less in a row, and that the knight of the locust, yeleps Callory, used very decl- sive means to put the qimetus on her resistance, get- ting her down on the Moor and handling her pro- miscuously and roughly, ‘The case was tried before the court without a jury, and Judge Curis gave judgment for the plaintif in the sum of fifty-one dollars, with coats, and granted an allowance to her counsel of twenty-iive deilars, remorkiag that he would not adjudge vinatetive dawages, buban example must be made m cases of this descripsien, GOURT CALENDAR—THIS DAY.
