A telegram from Shanghai arrived in London on Friday, an-

nouncing that the Nienfei rebels, the rebels that is of the north- eastern county of China, had taken Pekin. That, if true, would be the most important message ever received from the country, for the capture of the capital involves universal anarchy, and it may be the murder of our own Minister, but it is very likely not true. The telegram is dated 12th July, and another of the 22nd July had previously been received, which announces all quiet. There is still enough doubt, however, to make all interested in China look somewhat anxiously for detailed information, the Nienfei rebels having by the latest letters taken a town within 100 miles of the capital.
