of the more full and formal surrender of forts, gates and keys. They had compas sion, doubtless, on the Commissioner and desired to spare him the task really incumbent on him, If they had chosen to insist on it, of putting down the threatened opposition and withdraw all the armed forces of China from the terri tory. They released him and his masters from the performance of that duty and took it on themselves to give effect to the surrender, and to get, possession of the fortresses and public bulidings. They did not undertake any difficult task. Kolung fell into their hands after a skirmish, and with the capture of Kelang all resistance in the northern portion of the luland has ceased. Our latest news from Formosa Is that all is perfectly tranquil and that trade has resumed its usual channels.
