BOMBAY, August 26th.
The London correspondent of the Bombay Gazelle is authorized to state that there is aberlutely no foundation for the report published in the Landon letter of an up-country paper connecting by name Mr. Herbert Gladstone, M.P., with ceitsin divorce proceedings which, it was alleged by the writer of the paragraph, had been settled out of Court by the payment of a sum of toney. Mr. Gladstone denies the whole story, and according to the information received it is a tissue of tal-hoods,
Mr. W. E. Gladstone, speaking at Hawarden on Saturday at a meetion of the inhabitants, said: "We have been singularly blessed in our children. They have been brought up around us, I may vei tre to say, without constraint, They never have been governed at any period of their lives by force. We have had faith in principles of love and of mutual attachment, and have received in their conduct our richest reward. With the exception of the case in which it has pleased Almighty God that serious anxieties of health should arise, and of one single case, now long pas, of the bereavement of one loved little daughter, there has never been, in connection with any one of them, occasion in either of our hearts for a moment's anxiety or solicitude.
RECENT APPOINTMENTS AT PENING.

"About the year 1858 or 1859 I remember kicking about Hongkong, having left the clipper ship Flying Mist where I had been engaged from Frisco to Hongkong, Desirous of getting back to the United Sites, and no good chances offering, I shipped as quartermaster on the Messenger of New York, Captain Manton, then lying up the Canten river at Whampoa. Having heard considerable about cosile ships, I dreaded the cruise; but I wanted to get home. I went up the river in a small steams, passed through the Boca Tigre, and and a fine view of those remarkable forts, where the Chinamen had Imbedded their guns
in the rock sa that they could not hit aay boat er vessel passing through, unless the vessel gat in range of the guns. After about eight hours' sail, I was put on board the ship. She was of 2000 tons, built in early Californian days, and an extra fast sailor.
"When reached the deck, i found that there was no crew and only three other quartermasters, her full complement being eight, and she carried. when all the crew and officers were on board, about 100 men. A few conlies were on board. and my duty was to keep watch over them. The crew and remaining, officers came up from Hongkong, and the vessel was soon got ready | for sea.
knew that three men were in the cabin, and that place they were trying to reach. I dropped the wheel, leaving the vessel to take care of herself as best she could, and, drawing my collass, rushed into the crowd with the other quarter. masters on duty, and mi this wild moh on top of the after-house. They had secured hand- spikes, belaying pins, and anything they could ger for weapons, and old Sing Hi was swinging n sailmaker's bench over his head. We checked their advance, and were in a few seconds re- |inforced by the rest of the officers, who had jumped from their berths and rushed into the fight. It was cut and thrust. One fellow. with a heavy capstan bar struck at my head. I tried to parry with my cutlass, but he struck with such force, and the bar was so heavy, that he broke down my guard, and the end striking me on the head, laid open the scalp and knocked me down, but before he had time to raise the bar again my companion jumped over me as I lay. and, swinging his cutlass over his head, struck the pirate a heavy blow which split his skull, and he fell dead alongside of me ; and then lifting me up he said: 'Go for them; you are not dead | yet, but we all shall be if these devils get the üpper hand of us.' I went in, doing the best I could, but ['bled so freely that I was blinded from the loss of blood. At last we cleared the top of the house, and the carpenter and boat- swain, with the revolvers, began shooting into the crowd, and they all disappeared below. Thy could not make out what was the matter, when they saw us firing pistols without stopping to load, and concluded to get out of the way,
"Then the brokers began to put the coolies on board. Runners were sent out into the Country, and the coolies were obtained in any way possible. Some were hired and some were "It seemed a long time, but I do not suppose stolen. A raid would be made on some litle the fight lasted ten minutes. As soon as the village, and a number of young men and boys upper deck was cleared, we liberated the crew would be carried off.

The ship lay within gunshot of the shore, and one morning 1 sais quite a disturbance in town. Eight of these man-stealers had been
caught in the act, and these eight men lost their heads. The heads we stuck on poles as a warning to the coolic dealers.
"In due time we got on board 600 coblies, and the Captain went to Canton to clear the ship. But the Governor, knowing that atrocious deeds had been committed on boar, and in oblaining the coolies, came down with a fleet of men-of-war junks, and examine the lot to see if they were willing to go. After he had examined a few, he took them all on board of the junks, and carried them to Canton, and we never saw them again. 1 afterwards learned that they were all put into the Imperial army to fight the Tai Ping rebels,
"We lay at Whampoa about two weeks longer, and had collected about foo more, when we heard that the Governor intended to make another raid, So a small steamer was chartered and about 350 put on board on a dark night, and carried down the river to Macao. They first were put into a small vessel called a lorcha, and thence put into the ship Norway. The third mate and four of the crew, armed to the teeth, took charge of the lotcha and went with them. We were told to go Carefully, and not to allow any one to board us. found that the birds had, all flows. Seeing The next day the Governor came again, and
that we could not get our cargo there, we left for Macao, and on arriving fell in with the United States sloop-of-war Hartford. After a short stay here, word was given on a very dark night to get ready for sea, All of the officers were stationed on deck with pistols and cutlasses. We were told to do as we were bid and ask no questions. All lights were put out, except a large lantern between decks, and perfect quiet remained on board.
"About midnight, four dark objects were seen approaching the ship. As they came neater, a lantern was run up to the starboard mainyard arm, and was quickly answered by each lorcha showing a light over the bow. The vessels came alongside, and then we saw that their decks were crowded with coolies under a strong Rand. They were quickly transferred on board and put into the hold.

The coolies were then driven on deck one by one, and as they cute out of the hold they were inci by two of the quartermasters and myself, and if we could swear that we saw one of them in the fight, he was stripped naked, handcuffed and carried to the quarter deck. Seven men stood guard over them with strict orders to shoot the first one shawing any signs of being ugly. The others were told to take their queues down, as no Chinaman will fight with it down. We did not know this at the tinie, but ever after, no coolis was allowed on deck without 'first unfastening his queue. We found that we had forty prisoners, and that six had been killed in the fight, among whom was the leader, old Sing Hi, who had changed his name to Sing Lo.

After the flogging, they were taken down, their backs washed off with sea water, two cages were built just off the barricade, and a still greater punishment to them was in ficted. Their queues were their heads shaved bare. This completely broke death than lose his queue. Then, shackled to their spirits, as a Chinamar would rather suffer gether by twos, and without any clothing what ever, they were put into small cages, which they never left till the end of the voyage except to take a salt-water bath once a week, and then they were clothed and turned over to the brokers. under a strong guard.

She was paid so much a head for all landed, and the gross amount was $66,5oo. A high picket fence was built across the deck, behind which stood the guards. The coolies were allowed to occupy business, the whole of the spar deck. All of the officers lived abaft this barricade, and every precaution was taken to prevent any uprising of the coolies, and they were treated as well as circumstances would permit. All of the officers were armed.
"For the first ten days everything went well, that there would be no trouble. But the devils and the officers began to congratulate themselves were at work ploning their scheme. We had on board, as afterwards found, some twenty-five Ladrone pirates, who had shipped as coolies with the express purpose of capturing the ship and murdering the crew. It was their intention, is case of success, to run the ship into some of the islands in the China sea, and fitting out her boats, go on a regular piratical cruise, killing all that would not join them. The ship was to be plundered and then burned, as we learned from one of the prisoners after the fight.
