A Possible Chinese War.-— Shabbily as Britain acts towards the Colony of New Zealand she can find money for redressing outrages on. missionaries in China. The Spectator says : — Sir Rutherford Alcock, British Minister in Pekin, has tried to obtain redress for the outrages committed on Missionaries at Yangcliow. He has not obtained it. Consequently, he has "ordered Commodore Sir Henry ELeppel, — a decided person, who pnpe stormed Macao to release a missionary — to proceed up the river with the Rinaldo, Rodney, anjl Slaney, and enforce redress from the 7 Yiceyoy . Sir Rutherford, more- , pj^jßr, fears a general outbreak of hostility |tßj|oreigners, and in fact there are a.igood 4|nany signs of another Chinese war just when Mr. Gladstone wants reductions.
