A public loan would also be impossible on account of the cessation of the extraordinary powers granted to the King. All rumours relating to financial operations on the part of the go vernment are therefore void of foundation. Moreover, we are in a position to assert that the Minister desired to effect the great operation based on the monopoly of tobacco not on account of the pressure of the wants of the treasury, but simply in conformity with his financial policy of the future. • It is believed that the minister will await the opening of parliament to propose a financial opera tion based on a land credit and on the public domains. The intention of farming the tobacco monopoly has been altogether relinquished. The 25 millions forming the balance in the Venetian treasury and the - 130 millions derived from the new taxes voted by the chamber before the outbreak of war will diminish the deficit of the budget of 1867-68. The increase of expenditure in the public administration will be compensated by the reforms in course of preparation, among which is the con version of the public pensions into Bentes. This measure will diminish the burdens of the budget by 30 milliona.".. - THE OVERLAND MAIL. and defeated by Choishiu's troops at T we, near Oshimagoor. Details are not given. o ° 4 lai r the most important bate arising out of the war is that the Goropto has revolted the foreign ministers to proclaim the closing of the Inland sea, until the war is aver and the blockade raised. This, so far as British ships are ooncerned, her Majesty's minister has power to do according to the terms of the " Order in CounciL" But what answer he , and his colleagues will give has yet to be decided. Oa being pressed to say what was intended by the interdiction of European yeses'', through the Straits of Simonosaki for awhile, the Goroglo has replied that they are not very particular as to the mere passage through. There is as yet no sham* of the war terminating, as the terms offered by the Tycoon to Choishiu are not agreeable to the latter's followers, and were therefore rejected. FRANCE.

In the south Mats daira Oki-no•karai another of the Shogoon's generals had seised the island of Osbima, intending thence to make a descent upon Chiosiu's territory, but troops were sent to expel him from his position, and he tied at their approach. Satsuma has 45,000 men now in Miako, and the Shogoon's Gorojiu, it is reported, have at last publicly recognised the fact of hie hostility to their master. The Prince of Risen, whose dominions li e between those of Satsum a and Chiosiu, and who has long been known ea favourable to foreigners and the scheme of confederation, is believed to be on the point of uniting with his neighbours, when the whole of the south of Japan will be in the hands of the party of progress.

BERLIN, Oct 13. The semi-official North Germiti‘ Gazette of this , evening says :—" The return home of the members , of the Prusso-Hungarian legion has obliged the Austrian government to adopt certain measures, by the instrumentality of the police, for the exorcise of necessary supervision, and in case of need, for the preservation of public order. Beyond this, however, the arrangements which have been made by the Austrian government do not extend. The Vienna cabinet has expressly declared that the provisions of the Treaty of Prague, relative to the amnesty, shall be strictly carried out, and that in no case shall any member of the Hungarian legion be prosecuted by the Austrian authorities. SAXONY. DRESDEN, Ocr. 13.

ITALIAN FINANCE. FLORENCE, Ocr. 14. The Nazione of to-day publishes an article in which it says :—" The bankers who had been in negotiation with the government for farming the State monopoly of tobacco, and who had offered to advance to the public treasury 250 million lire of the amount they engaged to pay, have been in-' formed by the Minister of Finance that the govern ment cannot accept their conditions, and that all negotiations on the subject must be considered at an end, as the exceptional powers with which the King was invested daring the war have now ceased. In consequence of the exchange of the ratifications of the treaty of peace there is no probability of these negotiations being resumed. The Minister of Finance is able to provide for the whole expen diture of the current year, and there will still be at his disposal 200 millions from the proceeds of the national loan to be carried over for meeting the expenditure of the next year.

PARIS, Ocr. 14. According to news from Athens it was believed in that city that the insurgents would be able to carry on their resistance for six months. Colonel Coroneos, commander of the national guard of Athens, had been secretly sent to Candia. The Athens journals publish a correspondence between the President of the Cretan Assembly ' General and M. Calergis, in which the latter ad vises the Cretans not to exceed the limits of a peaceful protest. News from Constantinople of the sth inst. states that the circulation of all Greek journals not pub • lished within the Turkish empire has been prohi bited. (orricrAL.) ATHENS, Oct 12, 4 P.M. The town of Candano, in Candia, has been evacuated by the Turks. 10,000 Turkish troops returning to Canea were attacked on tho 3rd and 4th instant by 4,000 Christians, and pursued to within three hours' march of Canea. The Turkish loss was 1,200 killed and 800 wounded. All negotiations have been hitherto utterly without result. TURKEY. CONSTANTINOPLE, 0cr.13. It is stated that Fuad Pacha, Kirithi Pacha, and Savfet Pacha will shortly enter the Turkish ministry. The territory of Novosella has been ceded to Montenegro. The negotiations relative to the block-houses are progressing favourably for the Montenegrians. An amnesty has been offered to the Cretan insurgents, on condition of their submitting to the authority of the Porte. The insurgents are said to have accepted this offer. ST. PETERSBURG, Ocr. 14. According to advices received here from Con stantinople, the Porte had agreed to the demands of the Montenegrins, and the deputation from Prince Nicholas had returned to Montenegro. The news received from Candia was of a contradictory character, and the successes obtained by the Turks were apparently unimportant. The eastern portion of the island was occupied by the insurgents, and the western portion by the Turks, who num bered 40,000 men. The Turkish blockade was strengthened, and a Greek brig bringing war material for the Cretans had been captured. Other vessels belonging to tho insurgents, which refused to surrender, were sunk by the Turkish ' gunboats, and their crews drowned. A Russian war frigate from the Piraeus was expected in Can_ dian waters. Rumours were curren that the Sultan was dissatisfied with the slow progress made by'the Turkish authorities in the pacification of Candia, and that he had despatched several aides de-camp to the island, to learn the real state of I affairs. RUSSIA. ST. PETERSBURG, Ocr. 13. The statement recently published by the Vienna Waiiderer, relative to the alleged resignation of the Russian ministry, is entirely unfounded. The assertion of the same journal that tho Czar was in bad health is equally devoid of truth. SMYRNA, Ocr. 5. INDIA. The Calcutta papers say that the famine is still great and wide-spread, notwithstanding the efforts which are being made to star it. In Calcutta a system of organised relief is said to be doing much good. Funds have been supplied by private charity to the extent of Re. 1,71,000, and Eu ropeans and natives are working energetically to gether to relieve the distress. Owing to the ar rangements made, the fear which was prevalent of a great epidemic breaking out in the famine stricken crowd of paupers in Calcutta is subsiding. The accounts from the distressed districts continue to be very painful. The following is an extract from a private letter from the district of Chum regarding which the Board of Revenue had t e L l i n furnishing the most favourable reports of im provement. "To the facts contained in this letter we may add (says the Eng/faunae, of Sept. 7) that ea epidemic cholera is sweeping away the popula tion of entire villages" : .I%inine daily becoming worse, and I might have said &oaths more numerous. Coini.ng in the other morning from Murkottah, I saw two dead bodies within 300 yards of the place, the dogs eating them leisurely, whilst vul tures looked on. Two miles on, at a village named Murpha, I saw part of a human body being devoured by two doge the flesh was quite red, and in fact bloody ; the right hand was resting on the forehead, partially on the left side. I Avidly do believe the dogs commenced their ghastly ban quet whilst breath was in the body. At a bazaar named Poonligah, I saw three dead bodies in one line—l should say father, mother, and daughter; they appeared to have died within a few minutes of each other ; they looked as if asleep. Little to the north of these I paw two more bodies. I did not examine them ; their bare legs told their own tale. About half a mile further on, at a village named Soroul Sooltan, I saw another body, the vultures finishing what the dogs had left. From thence nothing more, except occasional bad smells. New grain is coming in, but it will be of little help to the starving wretches ; they have not the means of buying,. consequently must live en charity. As the Midday crop in this part of the dis trict is very small in comparison to the Aughanee or paddy, the ryots will have much difficulty in supporting their own families ; besides, the Mahamn who advanced them grain will weigh off his share from the out-turn, so that very little will be left for the ryots, so that the distress will be amat as bad as it is until the end of December. Should vernment cease to assist the starving wretches, under e impression that the new crop will alleviate their inif twinge, the result will be death to an unheard of degree. It you have a voice in the matter, I hope you will iulvo elate the relief to continue to the north of the district ; to the south the Budday crops are heavy, and grain compara tively cheap. The Mcuiras Athenaeum says that the high prices Prevailing at Madras, chiefly attributable to the combination and extortionate practices of the grain dealers, have occasioned serious riots, in volving the necessity of calling out the military, both European and native, to aid the police ; but happily, beyond a great deal of uproar, some amount of bazaar looting, and a few dacoities, no serious mischief had been done. The ordinary guardians of the public peace had resumed their ascendancy, and the place was again quiet ; ap prehended offenders being dealt with according to their deserts. The frightened dealers, to whose extortion and sudden closure of their shops the tumult was mainly due, have entered into a volun tary joint engagement before the town police magistrates to observe moderation in their prices for some months to come, and should they fulfil their promise, the local population, though sorely straitened, will (the Athena-um says) be placed beyond the reach of actual famine. Things, how ever, will right themselves in time (it adds), by .he natural operation of the forces of su pp l y and - demand, and must be left to take their own course, without government interference, which a section of the distressed community have been foolish enough to call for. At Poonamalleo also there was lately a disturbance in the grain bazaar, but it ended quietly. Trifling affairs of the kind must be anticipated here and there until prices fall substan tially below their present level. A grand durbar is to be held in Agra during the early part of November next, when those chiefs and princes who have been admitted to the order of the Star of India are to be duly decorated. CHINA. A despatch has been published from Sir Ruther ford Alcock respecting the proposed municipal regu lations for Shanghai, in which it is suggested that it would be advisable to endeavour to obtain some form of charter from the imperial government, binding the natives resident in the English and American settlements by the rules and regulations designed for the local government of the place. " Shouldthis idea be carried out," says the Shanghai Commercial Record, " much of the difficulty which has till now existed, from the Chinese authorities interfering in an unsatisfactory manner in the ar rangements designed for the public good, will be obviated. They have hitherto enjoyed a species of influence on acoount of their claiming the right of taxing their own subjects, which has proved of a vex atious description ; as, in addition to the munici pal taxes which the natives had to pay to the coun cil, the Chinese authorities were m the habit of stepping iu and levying imposts as imperial taxes which often were far beyond any amount they were legally entitled to. This state of things it is to be hoped will now be put an end to ; and the fact that there is a probability of the Chinese go vernment being willing to grant a charter for Shanghai, forms gratifying evidence that at least some strides have been made in the avowed policy of foreign nations in China; namely, a policy of centralisation ; as it is an undoubted improvement to see that being now accomplished in conjunction with the high authorities at Pekin, which was for merly deputed to commissioners and local officials." The floods were subsiding at Hankow. They had put a stop to all trade, and caused considerable H.M.S. Osprey, which left Hong Kong on the 2nd, returned into harbour on the 16th August. She only succeeded in finding two pirati cal junks, which she made out on the Bth, and pro ceeded to overhaul them ; finding escape .impos sible, they ran on shore near Han ,, -go-tsm in Hai nan ; the crews deserted the junk: and escaped in land. On the Osprey getting within range she tired a few shot and shell at the junks, and then sent her boats to burn them, which was accordingly done, though in effecting it one man was seriously burnt by the explosion. The Osprey aftewards cruised along the coast of Hainan, but without making any more captures. The heat had been intense in Shanghai, and no feweran eight deaths from sunstroke took place in the w eek preceding the departure of the mail. JAPAN. From the Japan Herald we learn that war has commenced between the Tycoon and Choabiu. The following particulars are given : On Saturday, the 4th August, intelligence had reached Yokohama from Glace, to the effect that in three engage ments the troops of the Tycoon had prevailed against those of Choshiu. The scene of action was Oshimangoori, in the province of Soowo, one of the two provinces composing the estate of Mori. The troops engaged on the ride of the Ty coon were 5,000 or 6,000 men, under command of Mats dein' Okino-kami, and some infantry and artillery (about 1,2001 drilled in the European style. It appears that Simanosaki was occupied by the Tycoon's troops before the war began. Subsequent advises oon6rm this news, and add :—The Tycoon's troops occupy Oosima, and Cho shin's forces have made an attack on the aide of the Straits. They were, however, repulsed, but not before they had destroyed wend towns. In the operations Magda last two ships. Later intelligence in the same paper is as follows : News has arrived that a body of the Tycoon's forces under saaldbara and Ikanomono hes been at The event of the month has been the arrival of the new Governor, his Excellency SirJ. T. Manners-Sut ton which took place on the 13th August. The vessel did not arrive until late in the evening, and consequently there was not such an attendance of the public as would otherwise have been the case. His Excellency was received by the acting gover nor, General Carey, and the ministry, and imme diately proceeded to the vice-regal residence at Toorak. Ou the Wednesday following his Excel lency was sworn in, in the presence of a vast con course of people, and formally assumed the govern ment of the colony, his first official act being to prorogue parliament until the 2nd of October. Shortly afterwards his Excellency held a levee at the Exhibition Building, which was more nume rously attended than any which has taken place for some years past. " Indeed his Excellency's wel come to the colony (says the Age) has been of the warmest kind, all classes having vied with each other in their demonstrations of loyalty." At the half-yearly general meeting of the pre prietors of the Bank of Victoria, the directors reported that the net profits for the past year, ex clusive of bad or doubtful debts, amounted to 36,675/., which, with the balance of undivided profits left over, made 39,0&1. The directors recommended that in the present state of the money market caution should be exercised, and on that account fixed the dividend for the half-year at ten per cent. per annum. The first number of an original serial tale has been published at Melbourne. It is entitled The Beresforcis of Ellalong. NEW SOUTH WALES. Parliament was opened on the 24th July by his Excellency the Governor in person. The speech was brief, and the measures which the govern ment proposed to introduce included most of those mentioned some time ago as being then in course of preparation. The addresses adopted by both houses in reply to the opening speech contained congratulatory clauses that no new taxation would be necessary to meet the expenditure for the en suing year, and the Legislative Council expressed a hope that at no distant date consistently with the maintenance of the public credit, the additional taxation imposed a short time ago for a special I object might be dispensed with. SOUTH AUSTRALIA. The imports at Port Adelaide, from January 1 to August 18, amounted to 1,728,005/. and the exports to 1,189,996/. The cereal exports from Port Ade laide and the outporta to the same date are esti mated at 485,731/. 15s. Gd. The government land sales by public auction and private contract, to August 23, were 166,358} acres, which realized 264,6341.28. The Customs receipts at Port Adelaide and the outports, to August 18, were 157,292/. Ga. Bd. ; and the railway receipts to the same date, 75,7871. 15s. 11d. The population of the colony at the end of June was 166,252. NEW ZEALAND. The question of separation has seriously engaged the attention of the Assembly at Wellington, and at the lateit advices a ministerial crisis had occurred. Two attempts have been made to lay across Cook's Strait the cable to connect Wellington, in the North Island, with the telegraph system which is now complete through the Middle Island —from Picton and Nelson on its north coast, to Bluff Harbour, its southern extremity. The first attempt proved a failure. The second would have been a success, but the cable fell short some three miles off the shore. It is understood that sufficient is obtainable to complete the communication be tween the two islands. THE WEST INDIA MAILS. The Royal Mail Company's steamship Tasma nian, with the above mails, arrived at Southamp ton yesterday. She brings 66 passengers, 697,165 dollars in specie, and 1,163 packages of cargo, chiefly consisting of bark, rubber, cocoa, and cochineal. The Tasmanian left St. Thomas on the Ist Oct., and experienced heavy rains during six days. A hurricane visited the West India Islands on the 29th Sept. The West India and Pacific Navi gation Company's wharf at St. Thomas was cut through by a coal ship and demolished. Several ships went ashore. The St. Thomas dock escaped injury. Her Majesty's ship Buzzard left for England on the 28th ult. Yellow fever and smallpox still lingered at St. Thomas. Two cases of yellow fever occurred on board the Tasmanina, both proving fatal. Nothing had been done at Jamaica towards the inauguration of the new government. The Military Commission had arrived out. Fine weather pre vailed, but business was dull. The coffee crop was expected to be scarce. Exchange, 90 days, 2 per cent. At Grenada the cocoa picking had commenced, and the prospects were cheering. The corn crop was abundant and trade was dull. Guadaloupe continued healthy. At Bar ba does the weather was fine and planta tion prospects were encouraging, but dysentery and fever prevailed. At Demerara the weather was fine, but trade waa dull. Tonnage was abundant, and freights were declining. Sugar, 15d. to 18d. The other islands were healthy. Senor Perez had been proclaimed President of Chili. The country still demanded the vigorous prosecution of the war against Spain. Powerful batteries, which will be defended with 150 cannons, were being erected at Valparaiso. The freight en gagements at Valparaiso were extensive. Ex change on London, 45d. to 450. ; on Paris, 70 to 75. Bar silver, per mare, 10.50 do's. In Peru business continued active, and the cot- ton growing was inadaing . • It was expected that Colonel Prado would be elected President. Free trade was to be esta blished, and a postaltreaty concluded between Peru and Chili. The Tasmanian b ' only the West Indian and Pacific, not the A • mails. A legal case, bearing on the principles likely to guide the French government in the illegal extra dition of Lamirande from Canada, was tried at Lyons a few days ago. Two Frenchmen were arrested in Switzerland on a charge of forgery committed in France, and were given up to the French authorities. The charge of forgery being • found unsustainable was abandoned, but the men were tried, and found guilty of embezzlement—an • offence not within the Swiss extradition treaty. The court declared that the right of the prisoners to obtain a reversal of their extradition could not be taken notice of by a court of justice in France. The judges, however, speaking of a " right " of the prisoners which the court had no jurisdiction to recognise, seem to infer that the executive will put ,sui the matter right, and restore the men (a present though they may be) to the country from whose territorial protec tion they were abstracted under false pre tences. This may be a precedent in the come of - Lamirande if it shall be made out beyond con tradiction that he was wrongfully given up to French justice. There is, however, a distinction between the two cases. France may well say that, though she does not think it politic to carry into effect slaw against a prisoner only brought within her jurisdiction by a mistaken accusation , she is not bound to renounce the jurisdiction which she has acquired by the mistake, however induced, of a foreign judge. It is in the point of view of the pending question between France and England in the matter of extradition (apart from the particular case in Canada) that the Swiss precedent is interesting. If, contrary to the antici pations of the Lyons judges, the men wrongfully brought p prisoners from Switzerland be not set at liberty, it will be made to appear that the suspicions of several English members of parlia ment were just, that the French government is capable of claiming the operation of the extradition treaty for one offence, and trying a man, when it has got him, for another, and then it will be im possible that the new extradition treaty with France, voted only for a year, can be renewed without alteration ; otherwise French political re fugees would never be safe. The Avenir National says of the King of Hol land's manifesto . This royal manifesto contains no arguments that have not been refuted twenty times over. Our correspondent tells us that publio opinion has been deeply moved by its publication. Although in a quiet town like the Ragas the emotion may only find vent in words, it is to be feared that in Amsterdam and Rotterdam discontent may take the form of action. Our correspondent's letter con cludes :—The situation is serious, and our institutions are imperilled. M. Duruy and General Niel have gone to swell the congress of ministers and high officials at Biarritz. The Liberti says : " People speak less than they did yesterday of the probability of M. Fonld's re signation." The Bourse is again heavy. Rente fell 30c. for cash, and 10c. for account, closing at 68.70 and I 68.80 ; Italian, 1 0 c. In Mobilier an d Credit Fon ', cier there was scarcely any change. rn PROCLAMATION OF THEKLN G OF THE NETHERLANDS. The following is the text of the proclamation issued by the King of the Netherlands : We, William 111., by the grace of God King of the Netherlands, Prince of Orange, Nassau, Grand Duke of Luxembourg, &c.:—Beloved countrymen and subjects, — I have thought it necessary, in -accordance with my eon stitutional rights, to dissolve the Second Chamber of the States General. If our beloved country is and o in the uninterrupted enjoyment of order and unity, and thereby, nnderthe blessing of God, of peace and prosperity, it is necessary for the government to be the centre to which the looks of the people can be directed with confi dence. No government can fulfil this condition if the good understanding be wanting, the absence of which renders impossible the harmonious co-operation of the constitu tional authorities, so indispensable fur the interests of the national cause. The experience of the recent times has con vincingly proved that this understanding and co-operation cannot be obtained with the elements of which the Second Chamber of the States General was lately composed. The continual changing of my responsible advisers would gradually become pernicious to the moral and material well-being of the nation, by crippling the power of govern ment. Steadiness of aim, on the contrary, increases the powers of the administration and of the executive. In order to attain this end, I call now on my beloved people to make their wishes known. Inhabitants of the Nether lands, consider the 30th of October next as an important day in your national existence. Your King invites all of you to whom the law gives the right to vote to proceed to the ballot. Let your faithful attendance show that you value his appeal.--Given at Loo this 10th day of October, 1866. WiLmen. GOOD THINGS POR GooD MEN.—" The inaugu ration of the Jesuits' palace at Arlon," says the Echo du Luxembourg, " has just taken place. The proceedings commenced with s mass, were continued by a sermon, and ended by a banquet. Half a dozen laymen and about slaty ecclesiastics were present at the ceremony. The banquet was magnificent ; we are indebted to a grateful lay stomach for being able to place before our readers the bill of fare of this repast of anchorites, which will make the month water for all those who have not taken vows of poverty and abstinence. It is as followa: ' Huitres d'Oatende, potage ala tortue, crepinettee t Is Richelieu, saumon t Is Hollandaise, filet de Went jardiniere, auiseton sun olives farcies, filet de soles, matelot* Normande, perdreaux as naturel ; sorbets, au kirsch, cilia' farcis, hivre t la poivrade, dindomiesme traffic I l'episcopals, becomes, anguille an Mural Mont pellier, *nation d'Ardenne en g:l , ee ha:saris, pates de 10108 gran, bavaroite panache*, M edoine an champag ne. glades , fruits, dessert." It is hardly necessary to add th at this succulent repast was enlivened with old wines of the choicest vintages Among others is mentioned a certain white Tokay, which drew exclamations of delight from the pious guests. In short, it will be seen by tha description of this bountiful love feast that our religious communities, cures, and bishops have an easy and agreeable lite of I it, notwithstanding the abominable persecutions and =hops of which they are made the victims by the „,„,..4._,„ . ,(% 7 .--,.-,'" -- ‘.--..- ncrY ' ------ . --•..)-..-k 1.-"' 4.
