Tron Papers by the English Hell

1'!!! IIIELLION IN OHINA. The Annals of the Propagation of the Faith contain some curious letters written in the s ring of the present ear from the Vicara- postolic of Kin ai an Hots-Ksuang. ese priests relate the in the month of January the insurrection had a made considerable pro . The forces c Tieri-ts, or as he is cal ed in other accounts 'l‘aeping-weng; sv - where announced their resolution to do 'ver e Chinese nation the Tartar okc. They were well received by the pulstion, end ob- tsincd without dilllculties lzrgs contributions in support of their cause. Their army is far better disci lined and ovided for war than the Iniperle troo ,sn it is continually rein- forced by consi erable desertions of native Chinese. But the most roniarkable circum- stances attending their progress is that they and their chiefs profess none of the idoletrous religion hitherto dominant in China. u the contrary, wherever they appear they destroy the joss-houses, the idols, and the monastic insti- tuticns of bonus, which were held in veneratdon the Chinese, and their conduct appears to confirm the gusgc of their proclamations, quoted by us some little time ago, which indi- cated an a ity with the more spiritual doc- trines of Christianity, They carry on their ers, however, the words, “ ' houoei ” or, “ the Religion of the Greek Einepror," a term not known to the Roman Catholic missions, and which con usntl marks the distinction between them an the omanist converts. The Chinese Government a pear to have thought that the hostility of}, those iconoclasts to the prevailing worship of the countr estab- lishcde strong resumption that the C ristian congregations vr ere the original authors of the rebellion, and in some parts of the cm ire - sons suspected of professing Christianity have been arrested and persecuted in consequence of this suspicion. '

In March the province of Bou-Koueng had become the centre of the operations of the vic- torious 'l‘icn-te. He had taken by ‘storm the capital of the provincc,and also the city of Hon Yang-foo, where the In rial troops where defeated and all the Mllendsrins and civil authorities put todeath. He then proceeded to more upon the province of Iiouan, having divided his army into three numerous columns ; and he had summoned thewlandsrins of Nankin to receive him as their legitimate sovereign, descending in the ninth generation from the last prince of the Ming dynasty. The Imperial Government bed summoned fresh troops from Msutolioo Turtery, and the fate of the empire seemed to depend on the result of the next battle. Meanwhile the aspect of the Imperial army is described as extremely ludicorous and edemiiiete, every man carrying an umbrella and a lantern, and the movements of the forces being encumbered by an enormous and unwiel- dy train of he go. The shops are closed, and tredcis stopfinupou their passage ; indeed, it would seem t t eresult of these events has been for the present to throw the southern provinces of the empire intos. fri htfiil stats of anarchy. The policy of Tien-tea his followers is to make war on the’l‘ttrtar authorities, but as fares gssible to protect the people ; and among so me odicsl end in ous a nation as the Chinese it is evident at ‘this state of disorder will be of short duration. M. de la Place, the Vicar-Apostolic of Kisug-sl, from whose letters we have borrowed these particulars, terminates

is narrative‘ in the following words :--

“ is these things, which I have had oc- casion to learn in a journey I have just made from Houan to Kisng-si, along the western part of Ngen Hocy, because it is for us it question of life and dcath——of liberty or persecution. If, as is now‘very probable, the insurgents prevail, we me perhaps ex t some emancipation of our holy religion. f, on the contrary, the Tar-

: dynasty recovers its ascendancc, we shall witness a frightful reaction against everything that has thrchuracter of an association : and, as thcchurch is one of the most important as- sotistions in China, and one orfthe most hated by the government it will attack the Christian cotiimunit with llsry, and we may expect s. blood a a fiery persecution. Liberty or r- seeu n, all is good in the Lord Jesus. ith

her our influence will extend; wit perse- cution we shall have the glory of dying for our . -» V...

The breve ma fervent language of these enthu- slssile‘ iuselytea is that of men actually surround- gdby dssgsn ibsy describe, and who know how many of their teachers have already‘ laid down their lives in China for the propagatioe of cl“-isqsnily.

Sir,-—Pcrmil me lo make a few observations which I think will be very interesting and en- couraging to our Protestant brethren.

Twenty years ago, when in Chins, l was daily at the house of the Isle Rev. Dr. Morrison. and at that time. I remember, we were busily engaged in taking texts from the Bible, printed is Chinese characters, with a picture on one side to call the attention of the Chinese. similar lo one I have on-

. These were sated up and circulated at Mscso, Canton, and onsn. Some of the limo- grsphs were done b _myself. The printing press ‘was removed from scan to Canton on account of the Portuguese Governor prohibiting the printing at Macs as it was contrary to their faith that the Holy Scri lures should be made known among the people. any thousands of texts were print- ed in this manner. It was simply the Word of God that was circulated in this way, and it was generally gladly received. Sometimes the late Mr. Morrison (eldest son of Dr. Morrison) and myself would go far into the interior for a walk with alittlc money (small Chinese coins) in our pockets to ensure a good reception from the peo- ple; in this way we distributed many hundreds.

have accompanied the Rev. Mr. Gutzlsl in the same manner, at Macao, without the city, among the poor its place called “ the Ciimpo," giving away St. Paul's Epistles and other portions of God s Word.

In perusing your excellent article in The Times of yesterday, it brought to my mind the foregoing occurrences, and how these texts have been veri- fied-—Eccles. xi.. lat and Glh verses: -‘ Cast Iby n the waters: for thou shalt find it after many sys," " In the morning sow thy seed, and in the evening withhold not tblno hand: for thou knowest not whether shell prosper either this or that, or whether they both shall be alike good.”—I remain, sir, your most obedient servant,

THE RUSSIAN AGGBESSION

AGAINST TURKEY. -

Tn: Turkish question still absorbs‘ the atten- tion of Europe. It is the all-engrossing topic of

II- quietude which it creates, disturbs commerce and industr , and causes a daily loss of other- wise availab a wealth, which is sensibly perceiv- ed in every civilised counts , though its amount is not to be easily estimate . _

Since our last ublication, says the Illustrated London News, it as become more than ever ap- parent that the Russian Em ror stands alone in the false sition into wbi he has thrust him- self; that c has not, and cannot have, an allies or abettors; and that if war be his desire, he must bear the brunt of it, with all the great powers of Euro against him. Every document that is made pu lie in reference to his aggression incontcstnbly proves that, in sending Prince Menschikofl to (kustantinople, to urge his un- reasone lc demands against the Sultan, War was is forego e conclusion. He evidently cal- culated that the long-wished-for hour of seizure and s liation bad arrived——that Great Britain and co were cold and disunited—and that any serious opposition to his project was impro- bs lc,if notimpcssible. The pro ess of events must have shown him his error. were of their onimon danger in presence of an ambition so -on vernable, and im lied by that sense of Ii tand Justice whic exists in the conscience of nations no less than in that of individuals, the various were of Europe have united in re- sistanoe. rset Britain and _Frurtop, after a short period of iucertitudc and indecision on the

rt of France, have taken a llrm shed. Ind litvs carried with them the grcat, though minor,

were of Austria and Prussia. Tha_od'snding izompsm, awakened at last to the conviction that he has made a mistake, driven from plea to piss, and from justification to justification, has at length found himself rsduosd lo the miserable expedient ofthrowing the blame of his aggression upon. the two powers who did their utmost "to prevent it. I Drouyn dc Lhuys in his temperate. lucid, and unanswsrsble reply to the circular of Count Nsssclrode, has convicted the Csar of an error, that looks exceedingly like a wilful one-—framcd with the intention to deceive. He has demon- strated to the satisfaction of the whole world that the charge brcu in against the British and French Governments, 0 having forced Russieto occupy the Dsuubisu Provinces by l'l‘nIl'IIlIl|9 occupation of the pom sud harbours of turkey, _is is proper tsrous ‘as it Is insulting.

that he will yel find means to withdraw from his utenabls and ofl'snsivc position. In his hands are the issues. If he be not insane, as some allege- sliiicled with the worst form of madness, religious fanaticism-s note addressed by Turkey to the Great Powers of Euro collectively, and the Jimullsiieoiis withdrewalwof the Russian forces from the Nloldo-Wallachisn provinces and of the British and French fleets from the Turkish wslsrs, will put an end to the dilemma, and restore the nations to their wcntcd tranquility. But not the less certainly-—_svcn in this csse—vvill the mps- ror of Russia have accomplished the great object of his dynasty, if not of his people. He will have hulllcd, ‘coerced, and weakened tlis Turkish Empire. Every dsy’s occupation of the Durabi- sn Provinces is not only an insult but a loss to the Sultan. The Emperor knows this, and calcula- ted upon it. If without war he can but prolong that occupation for s month or simweeks to come, he will achieve a triumph in the expense of the power whom he wishes to humiliate. Nnris this the only evil that will ensue. The perplexities and troubles of the Turkish Fmpire are internal as well as external. Already disslfeclion and re- voit have been the consequences of the Emperor’s aggression. A powerful sail ulire-Turkish party, which has long been scsndalized by the innova- tion oflhe fats Sultan Mahmoud and those of his able successor, Abdul-Medjid. has attempted to raise the standard of Mahomet, to depose the pre- sent Sultan, and to wage a religious war of the Crescent against the Cross. Tlis Russian Empe- ror fcrcsaw all these results, and built upon them the superstructure of his am ilion. Turkey is notoriously weak and lettering; and even to me- nace her is to do her an injur .

It seems probable, from t ese endu thousand other circumstances, that the days of the Mus- selman power in Europe are numbered; that the Sultans, withdrawn into Asia, will have to de- fend their throne against their own Satra s; and that many other Pachas sud Viziers, es s. lo and ambitious as tlis late Mehcmet Ali. will yet arise to carve kingdoms out of the disjecta mem- bra of the fallen empire. But let not the Czar Niche too sari ine that such events will work tohis advantage. Though the Turks may vacate Europe, itdoes not follow that he will be permitted to step into their places. The great powers have no interestiii u holdings dominion that seems predestined to is l ; but they have an interest in raising up a rival to dis ute the possession of it with Russia. That riva already exists. The Christian subjects of the Sultan already know that their absorption into the great lusoovite Empire would add ziothin to the prosperity or the consideration which t cy now enjo , and that it would destroy for ever their fontlbopc ofindepcndeucc. Thus, though it is probable that the Czar may destroy Turkey, it is Suite as probable that he will not be mitts‘ to share the spoil ; and that a new B antinc Empire may arise from the ruins of the Mahometuii power in Euro e, and be a more formidable barrier. against this a essive in- roads of that insatiable Colossus, w 0 now over- shadows and alurms‘Europe, than Turkey has ever been. This would be a fitting and retribu- tive uel of the lots and conspiracies, which, since t e days of eter the Great, the Em rots of Russia have not ceased to form against their neighbour. At the present moment it seems to be the most probable solution of a mighty difli- culty. It is one that England and France have not sought to ex dite.‘ The blame and the consequences will alike fall upon Russia.

THE CRYSTAL PALACE.

The Crystal Palace st Sydeiihem begins to cast before it a very distinct shadow of the magnifi- cence io come. Those who have availed them- selves of the privilege, now open to all, of inspec- ting the works on payment a a five shilling fee, must have been sufficiently impressed with the thoroughness with which the business is being

one. They must have felt, if not said to them- selves, " This promiées to be, not only the finest exhibition in the world, but the Guest exhibition ssible at the world's reseutstagc of progress.” acaimi se of all the II lest sculptures which an- cient and modern times have produced, will be assembled in one spot. Aichilecturcs—Egyptisn, Greek, Arabic, and Golhic—will not only be re- presenled. -but re-produced, “ life-size," in all their more notable forms, and with practical "illustrations of the opulsr mysteries of plychro- my, hvpmlhral mulls’, honey-comb vaulting, sn- cient frescoes and sisbcsques,&c. ; and, further- more, the main building itself will be the first and most glorious specimen of an entirely new style of architecture ofwingular beauty. and of great, thou it, as yet very imperfectly foreseen powers of s aptation to our peculiar modern wants. Mr. Ruskin, who ‘said of the architecture of the old Crystal Palace, that e earth has bubbles as the water bath, And this is oflhem ; will be found to have committed a memorable blunder; and he will doubtlessly be not slow to retract it when he lishclda, from the lovely wes- tcru valley. the terraced hill blazing with millions of flowers audjetufeau, and crow with the loft transcpts, vaulted nsves, and searing towers of I s new cathedral of the srtsand sciences. The art of nature will bersprssented side by side and hand in hand with the art men. and in the same order-—thai is, historically. The marvels of Ksrnak and Niusvsb. with their pbioxes sad balls as big as the Trojs horse, wil be matched with the pr ‘ a of the " heroic ages" nsiui-s—tbo vest mud lake, the dreary shore of
