What had happened was 'th, while the French had been breaching the walls, the rebels, who had divined their object, bad been burity engaged in loop-holing the wal's of a number of large pawn shops and other Luildings just oprosite, a complete line of interior defences behind which a strong, force was chin- cealed. When the Imperialists came through the breach they were allowed to run along the City Wall, without opposition and in fancied security, trusting to the support of their allies, for whom the rebel fire was reserved; and when the French party had been forced to retreat, the Imperiales finding themselves cut off became panic stricken, many falling into the hands of the rebels, while the remainder jumped over the city walls, some being killed or others crawling off more or less wounded. The French loss was very severe, and the Imperialists perished in hundreds

There were some fishing boats from the provinces of Awa and Kadrusa in the neigbourhood of Funakatamura and five or six villages in Awa-gun, province of Awn. These boats were caught by the storm and about 800 of them were damaged or blown over to neigh- bouring villages, but only 200 or thereabouts are missing. Some were subsequently found at Ashima, Miura-sahi, Amatsu and others have been lost. Old and young are searching for the boats daily; the number of fishermen in a boat is generally 8 or 10, but in some instances only solitary occupante have heen discovered in them, all the rest having been washed over board and drowned.

THE " ARIZONA KICKER."... "
THANKS GENTLEMEN.
On Monday evering a committee of prominent citizens waited on us and tendered us the nomina. tion for Lientenant Governor of this State, accompanied by such words of praise and esteem as brought,tears to eyes. While we had to decline the nomination, owing to the pressure of our private business, the spirit which actuated those gentlemen will make a better man of us. There is everything to encourage a Western editor to git up und hump himself like a jack- rabbit carrying sail before a pack of coyotes, and we wouldn't exchange our present position with Mr. Wanamaker if he would throw in ten Sunday-schools to boat.
THE JUDGE HAS GONE.
More than three months ago the Kicker very kindly but firmly informed Judge Gridley that this wasn't the climate ho was seeking after, and once or twice since we have courteously, inquired why he didn't get a movement on him. Last Saturday night committee waited on the Judge It had a rope along, and the rope was used to elevate the tardy imveler off his feet several times. When let down for good he had a gargle for sere throat put up at the nearest drug store
and then walked. It was a hint not to be dis- regarded, and he will now bonar some other town with his prerence. He was not a subscriber to the Kicker..
THAT'S ACCORDING.
A subscriber in Massachussetts writes to Inquire if this climate is good for asthma. That's according We have known men to come here and their breath within a week and others to lote it inside of three days. A great deal depends on the patient. If he comes bere with his mind made up to play our game drink our whisky and mix in with our society, his asthma will soon leave him, If he comes In the opposite spirit some, one of our townsmen will very likely feel it his solemn duty to give the weary sufferer rest.
NOT A BIT,
A friend of ours over at Tombstone inquires
This success of the rebels availed them little, however, as the only channels by which they had been receiving supplies were now closed, and their numbers rapidly grew less through deaths, and desertions; but still they managed to keep their besiegers at bay, until February 1855, when one night, large conflagrations in the city announced that something unusual was taking place. It was, soon learned that the town had been abandoned, the rebels baving made a desperate attempt to break through the lines that encircled them, in which some were successful, but most of them were captured, and of course suffered a horrible death.
Thus ended the siege, which had been fraught with so much excitement for the foreigners resid-

So much for me of the benefit accruing to foreigners. As for these to the Chinese they have been almost incalculable, and I think it is not too much to say that no event, since the advent of foreluners to China, has had so great an effect in remodelling the institutions of the country, and bringing them more in accordance with the spirit of the age, than this at first sight apparently untoward event. Previous thereto the Customs service et only here bat at the
other ports was simply a disgrace to the Govern ment, Honest traders had no chance in the field with their unscrupulous competitors, who were disposed to avaid themselves of the opportunities offered to them, by the venality of the custom-

for much less than theduty prescribed by the tariff, and in many cases without any payment at all, The fall of the city was the death blow to this system, and the records of the customhouse, which were so ruthlessly, trodden under foot by the rabble on the morning of its capture, received the treatment which they, doubtless, in justice deserved. That morning ended the old régime, For some time after the place was abandoned there was no customhouse in operation, and no efficials to collect the daties. During this Inter
regnum the various consuls received from their countrymen promissory notes for dulles, accruing on their ports and exports. Later on a few timid officials appeared on the scene, and attempted to levy duties in a boat anchored in the river under the guns of the'r fleet; but as this, and several other make-shift, failed to work satisfactorily, and caused serious in. convenience to the mercantile community, the treaty consule, acting with the concurrence

The episode of the battle of "Muddy Flat," already described by me, took place on the 4th of April, 1854, up to which time the relations between the rebels and foreigners had been rather cordial than otherwise. We used often to go into the city, to see how things were get. ting on, and were always kindly received; but it was most melancholy to walk through the deserted streets of abandoned houses, absolute desolation prevailing on every side, until the quarters occupied by, the rebels were reached, when there was more life, it is true, but that of anything but a cheerful character, as these wretched outlass could not but realise that the ground was rapidly sinking from under them, and their time when not sleeping or on duty was passed in oplum smoking and other dis- sipations. After the 4th of April, for one reason owing to some outrages on their subjects, the French authorities took up arms against them and one day i French frigate anchored off the Kin-ice-yuen Wharf opened fire on the city, which we all thought was now surely doomed to destruction; but, though the shell set fire to several buildings, including a fine temple just Inside the city walls, the rebels did not appear to be at all disconcerted. This bombardment having failed to produce any material effect, soon afterwards some 32-pounder guns were landed from the frigate and placed in battery near where the Church of St. Joseph stands, for the purpose of breaching the walls. Day after day and night after night, a cannonade was continued unill at last it was whispered that a practicable breach had been effected and that an assault on the city would be made by a combined force of From this small beginning, which was then French and Imperialists. Having had reliable Information of the time when the assault would take place, and posted myself at the top of our house, from which, through my glasses, I had a system which now embraces all the many treaty clear view of the operation, at the appolated time ports of China, and those of Corea as well, and I saw a crowd of Chinese soldiers said to not only ensures the collection of the enormous.
