The struggle between the heir of the late Yacob Khan and the Chinese is evidently now drawing to a speedy close. The Peking Gazette just published announces the cap- ture by the Chinese of the two towns of Akaa and Ush. This event was, according to the a count contained in the Gazette, preceded by a series of fights, lasting six days, between the Chinese troops, and the bands of Tal-yen-hoo, the Chinese Mshom- Insdan leader, and of the successor of Yacob

I was in the Court during a portion of the trial and heard the whole of the summing up and judgment. It was most lucid and was given in a satirios! vein which of course could not be caught in the reports, but which displayed to the full the utterly irregular system or rather the total want of system in the Manchester Trade.
