Up to the 16th no no.te: tad been formed by the new President, who, wears. fiLde himself in: a position of great ember :maw fr-m the suddenness with which the duties tcd responsibilities of tte executive office have dito:rel upon him. He must determine in his own nr.l what his policy will be, see he surrounds himself ur ccedju.ors in carrying It out, and considering the airy ixpirtant and complicated questions that are tor sgratisg the Union, this is not a matter that ta: be determined upon in a day. Add to an that some of his most intimate friends Ire nattered about, some throughout the Union and dirs in Europe, and the really embarrassing nature et Ls position, with so many important matters call ir.gfor immediate action, may be somewhat under stood. All sorts of rumours are of course afloat se to the .. ..aracter and views of the future administration. In : I emergency Mr. FILLMORE called around him the ::risen of his predecessor, and requested them to pone their resignations for thirty days. To this :?oral they did not accede, bat agreed to manage :Le .r rtspective departments for a few days longer at lbe President wished to consult them as to le competition of the new cabinet, but they fought k diming him any advice—regarding their pee wit a 4 buten'', position as simply executive and:not grimy. Thus matters stood by the last accounts, the i-r• list/ of the new administration being involved in II such mystery as it was a week ago. Of course :di rem being hawked about without number, as •.;.e writsb:t cabinet that was to be, but these were Linefeed. as emanating from the prurient inven t:a of Wuhington letter writers. Ore fact worth Lotting is, that Mr. WEB 4 zTER is now less spoken of to .:holy to have a seat in the cabinet than he WY a net ago. S.houid the President determine, in all respect.. to wry out the policy of General TAILOR, he could c.t do so with General TAILOR'S advisers, between triton and the Palawan section of the New York t:.ere has been a decided breach since the no t-, Ltlion of the expiring cabinet. Whatever, there- Os, roar be Mr. FILLSIOIII . B views, new men will set.essrl3 be summoned to the head of the several &porta sty s. . . tut we h►ye no reason to change the opinion which we tamped last week, that, in acme respects, the Po:iey of the new President would differ from that of ksPettist-thrm. As regards the external relations o the (osctry it will be the same, bat, in reference to tit ter) el:Anions of the compromise and the tariff it d tier considerably its the one case, though but 1::0.61 is the other, frcm what would have been the aver. of General TAYLOR. Mr. FILLMORE is known to have sympathies with the northern abolitionists, bat then hie published views with regard to the prier of **gram to interfere with the subject of slavery are ...di as to excite no apprehensions in the south. Ity this time the final struggle respecting the Compress* hi.i is over in the Senate. The nitlnsition, at the sailing of the steamer, was that the saecr ss of the measure was sore, and it is to be desired that a etroeg cabinet favourable to it should be organised and in active operation, by the time the Lill is diecemed in the house. As tette tariff, we have already expreseed our con *tint that so violent change may be looked for, and to immediat e c h anges o f any kind. Indeed, whatever wight It the longings of the executive government ter a reurn to the high tariff of 1842, to carrying at.: 4 1 1 to man was more instrumental than Mr. F: 1 01 , ,P.F., the present state of parties both in sad out of the legislature, renders any coup in that sea impossibility. If the thing is to be effreted at all, it will be the work of time, whilst free trade ad not protection will be the gainer by each delay. The executive mast deal with the pre seat tWerers for another year. The senate is and, until the r ad of next session at least, will continue to ‘ opv, , td to any marked reaction in c nnmercial 'Y. Tte restrictive party have a null majority tt 'P. , lower home, but it is a majority more as whigs tl.‘t as protectioniats. In December last, when i l A n " met. and when some panic existed on 9..4 side of the Atlantic in reference to tl.e American tariff, we predicted that not only eta. tttle no chance of a reactionary measure being !trTied, het that there was none of one bring even setroduired. The event has proved the correeneme of far views. With a protectionist of the purest water Peeidtag over the Treasury department, and a Whig 11 _ 11 *Ikt7, however wall s is the House of Represents -B,ve r e , n was supposed by some that the Union nu on 2* . eve of a backward step in economic legislation. has , the feet that a free-trader was sprinted lipesker, anc ar-rAer free-trader nominated chairman of the sanimitt es of way, sad mean' demonstrated at once the utter !risibility of the ' present emigres.; to disturb ties set st 18411.

Indeed, a smaller party than the free bane now master lathe lathe would suffice for this, seeing that mut MIME is the sheet ems, when any each measure weld be adesta by the ardimmy shifts of obetrectioa and delay. Bo far, we see no danger to free trade in Americo, until December, 1831, at least—at which time the new congress, to be elected a few weeks earlier, will meet. As to the complexion of the new body, it is impossible to speculate with any certainty ; but it is di ffi cult to ses how, with all their predictions so completely falsified as they have been, particularly during the lastpwo the pro teetiomiste as wathge to were a wity In either beers. The tismate we believe to be perfectly safe until the close of the session of 1862-3. Shedd it then enderso . a change, and exhibit a 'big protectionist majority, there would be but little wet then to apprehend, see- 1 ing that the Presidential election of 1863 is almost as. to transfer the sweetmeat sees more to the democratic and tree trade party. Thee, should 1868 witness a decidedly protectionist:congress, the Union will have in a tree trade executive $ guarantee for the continuum of the bill of 1848, at hest until March 1837. As to what will happen afterwards, it will be time enough for as to trouble ourselves five or six years hews. In the meantime, satisfied that moderate wancile will prevail, both as re spects slavery sad commerce, we await with more curiosity than anxiety the completion of the new cabinet at Washington. We regret to see that the prospects of the cotton @rep have not materially improved. Nothing but the 0060111111209 of the moat favourable circumstances can now ensure an average crop. But this is scarcely to be looked for, considering the nature of the season so far. The prospects of the harvest, however, have improved in America, as they have with seat home— s omstanee which enabks us to contemplate with more equanimity than we otherwise could a failure in the cotton crop. IT cannot be too often impressed on the minds of all who feel an interest in Borneo, and the conduct sag &meter of Englishmen there, that there are theft &diet questions reelecting these matters at losimint under discussion. The Bret relates to the coat I , sad the efficiency of the government established at Lehman ; the second to the character of the proceed ings against the Sambas and the Sakarranak 2 ; the third to the personal character and conduct of Sir James BROOKS. The last is only of consequence, in so far as he has been the instigator of the numerous extensive slaughters in Borneo ; as he is the most costly part of the extravagant Lobos& job, and has been allowed to exercise a wide discretion (or indis cretion) in his conduct them ; and as the reputation established for him by the indiscrimieate puffing of a portion of the rem, has been used as •diversion from the other two subjects of inquiry. We adverted on Wednesday last to the anxiety shown by the Tines to exculpate Sir Jamas BROOKS from the charge of complicity in the slaughter of the Dyake, in July, 1849. .The Examiner of Saturday last, in its most felicitous e'y'e of sarcasm, adverts to one point in the allegations of the Times on this head : The Times, however, has brought to light a rare trait of clemency: " When the pirates. 3,000 in number, had escaped from the British fire to the shore Sir Jamas Brooke bad it in his power, by taking possession of a very narrow neck of land, to have vet off their maps to a man ; but, although premed to do so, be refused, m) aft that • Bumph bad been done." He might have slain them all, 3,000 to a man, and he did not. What merciful forbearance ! The Examiner, however, takes it for g-anted that the statements of the Times are true. In this it gives too mush credit to the Brooke-inspired journal. The 3,000 who escaped to shore are something like Falstaff's men in buckram. Sir CHRISTOPHER RAWLIESON (see Parliamentary Paper, " Piracy' (Boma), Bth March, 186 0 ), has certified that the number on board the Sakarran prahus at the begin ning of the attack was 2,140, and that 600 were killed in the action. According to this account only 1,600 escaped to shore. Of these Commander Fan- QUHAR'S report states that more than 600 " perished in the jungle. And these were cut off by the natives under Sir Jamas BROOKE'S command, who, in his letter to Lord PALMERSTON, of 2nd Feb., 1850, only says that "the pursuit was stopped as soon as pos sible." The attempt of the Times to exculpate Sir JAMES in the and 'lgor:Kt from all participation massacre, throw the: whole blame upon the English sailors, is preposterous, as a few quotations from the papers presented to parliament will show. In the letter to Lord PALMERSTON, already quoted, Sir Lutes states that he invited the late naval com mander on the station to attack the Serebans as early as the 6th of March, 1849. SirJhurs adds : TIN necessity was so pressing at that time, it became so urgent a duty to my. the lives of 'ascent potpie. and to pretest the trade, that I went out in native boats till I was nepportad by the steamer !retsina, when I siwprised the people of Saab's through the Reinke river with the object of keeping them in cheek till a larger force should anive ef fectually to punish them for their recent depredations. Commander FARQUHAR, in his report to the Ad miral, dated 25th August, 1849, mutes the following statements : I retched the anchorage off this town [Sarawak] on the 28th of Jane, and immediately made his Excellency Sir James Brooke acquainted with my instructions. • • • In order to give security to the friendly tribes on the banks of the Ling* during the 'booms ef the fighting men ' at the svggestices of his Endless, I determined to place a vessel at the entrance of the river. • • • On the 27th, hie Ezeellenc, arrived with the native force, sow Increased to 70 pram, Malays and Disks • • • On the 28th, laformation which odd be relied on was re ceived by Sir James. • • • Acting on the advice of his Excellency, &c., I determined to await their return, guarding well use entrancrs of the , Kaiak& and Sarebu rinn,the only avenues to their country.

The statements of Sir Lutes BROOKE and Clow mender FARQUHAR utterly contradict the stsertlas the Tones, that" at the time of the action Sir JAMES BROOKE was stationed op a river far removed from any . control over the progress of the fight" His division were the first to use the Saruban flotilla; he by a rocket gave notice to Commander FARQUHAR to attack them ; the action was teen by boats stationed within the Kaluka river, where Sir JAMES wan. Sir JAMES was a material link in the circle of armed boats into which the Se reheats were decoyed. He gave the signal for attack, and the men of his division began it. 'l'his is not all.

The Concordia of Turin quotes a letter from Flo rence of the 20th, stating that the strangest rumours are current about the bond of Il Passatore, who still infests both the Tuscan and Papal Romagna, not withstanding the exertions of the Austrian troops. Engagements are said to have taken place with his men in the vicinity of Cortons, in which the Aus. trims were worsted. They also say that Il Passatore has two pieces of cannon, that he has divided his band into three bodies, giving each a commander, and that he is well provided with arms and money. ROME JULY 16. The British claims for indemnification; in various parts of Daly, have so occupied the attention of the government and of the public lately, that your readers will certainly be interested in the following account of an affair pending between the British consul at Ancona and his excellency' Prince Bobwanenberg. During the dominion of the republicans in Ancona, an imperative order was emanated by the governor, obliging the principal inhabitants to lay in a stock of wheat, according to a stipulated scale, foe nay sudden •tit arse. This order, which was emergency that might _ issued previous to the arrival of the Austrian besieging army, was obeyed, although reluctantly, by the greater part of the inhabitants, and amongst the last who complied with it were a certain number of mer chants, including three English houses, repre senting in the aggregate five hundred quarters of wheat, which were ordered from the port of Civita Nuova. On the 24th of May, however, the Austrians approached the walls of Ancona, when the said merchants gladly availed themselves of the op portunity to despatch an agent to counter-order the wheat, which, fortunately, had not yet reached the port of Acoons, bat was shipped and on the way, and saciently close to the comet (about 16 miles to the south) to be communicated with, when the vessel was ordered to anchor at Umana, and sell the cargo there sad elsewhere. Accordingly, on the 26th May, the vessel anchored at Umans, where the captain sold 60 quarters of wheat, after which he purposed re turning with the remainder to the original port from whence he came. On the 6th June the Austrians captured this vessel and cargo, declaring it to be a fair prize notwithstanding it was under the protection of a por t which had returned to its legitimate allegiance towards the Pope. Subsequently, however, the vessel was released, as well as 6,000 lbs. of our which were on board, but the wheat was retained; a pro ceeding the more remarkable, as the flour and ship would certainly have been a fair prize also, if the wheat was: and the conduct of the Austrians is the more unjustifiable, as they, daring the resistance offered by Aocons, had the benefit of this supply less in the town, owing to the unwillingness and conso quent dilatoriness of the merchants in bringing it in. The sufferers soon after drew up a petition, setting forth the circumstances of the case, and requested Mr. Moore, the British consul at Ancona, to present it to General Count Strassoldo, military governor of the town, but that general replied that he could not ea tertain the question, as the event happened during the command of General Count Wimpffen then absent, and Mr. Moore therefore brought the affair before the notice of his Excellency Prince Schwartz-nberg, through the medium of Viscount Ponsonhy, British ambassador at Vienna, to whom he forwarded the necessary documents on the sth August, 1849. The petitioners, amongst whom, besides the representatives of English commercial houses, there are several Aus trian subjects, declared their readiness to abide by the arbitration of any impartial commission that might be appointed to investigate the merits of the question. Lord Ponsonby, on the 10th of August, sent a note • to Prince Schwartzenberg, enclosing Mr. Moore's despatch and the petition of the merchants. The _ . aid. was meshed through the medium of Sir Jams juge s de pais. The twelve justices of _ _. peace at examination of the Case occupied the Prince upwards Beams.

Secondly, that, according to the deposition. of Messrs. )let, Zunmit, and Pulini, of which a proas verbal had been drawn up by the Papal tribunal at Ancona, it appeared that Mr. Moreikt was of Genoese origin, and that Signer Pulini came from Mootokno, in the states of the church, whilst M. Zammit, who called himself a Maltese, was more probably a native of Ancona. Thirdly, that the above named nerehents confessed that they had only signed the petition at the instigation of a broker named Betelli, and that Signor Pulini had gone so far u to declare that he had signed the document without knowing its 'mikado. Prince fichwanenberg then expressed his surprise that Mr. Moon should have stated that the above. named British subjects were forced by the revolu tionary government of Ancona to furnish provisions to the insurgents, when he had, at the same time, British 1 ships of war stationed in the port expressly to defend the inteesste of his countrymen ; and that, cones quently, it was difficult to explain why he shouldhave allowed the revolutionary government to exercise mea sures of coestraint towards British subjects, without making use of the means placed at his disposition to protect them The upshot of all these arguments was, as may easily be imagined, that the Prince declined giving any further attention to the claims advanced.

It is complacently added in Commander FARQUHAR'S report, that " a coasiderable number of the enemy were killed." This rapplementary pillage and massacre is totally overlooked by the advocates of Sir Ulan BROOKS. It was at his seegestisa, epee his representations, under his inspection and control that it was effected. It was utterly needless, even supposing the Serebu !NUB' to have been what he rep:mated, for that flotilla encountered by his force when eying from defeat, lad been utterly destroyed, and one.helf of the on board (its crews, who had been into ser vice, and captives u well as wanton) slain.

But the barbarities exercised were great, may be inferred from the a=getie puenthems in Sir JANES BROOKS'S letter to FALDIMUSTON of Ist October, 1849: "The rewards given for the capture of Dyak women and children will, I trust. load to a more humane !Totem of warfare." " Mil lead," not "hew lei."

FRANCE. PARIS. MONDAY STUMM. The Minister of Public Works has made the follow ing proposPions to the committee of the budget rela tive to the completion of the railw4 from Paris to Avignon. The minister proposes to grant the lice as far as Lyons to one company, and that the section from Lyons to Avignon should be completed by the state. The concession of the line from Paris to Lyons is to be made on the following conditions: ninety nine years of possession; four per cent. interest guaranteed on the capital expended, which is not to exceed 190 millions; share in returns above eight per cent.; reimbursement to the state of sixty-five millions, fifteen being in ready . money, and any in five annuities with interest. For the completion of the section from Lyons to Avignon the government would demand a credit of 18 mil lions upon the budgets of 1850 and 1831 ; to begin immediately the works on the section from Avignon, to Valence. By the Canteens, arrived on the 27th lost. at Havre, we learn, that op to the 20th of May the French mer chants had not succeeded in persuading Roma to ac cept the modifications of the treaty of Lepredour de mended by the French government. The Monileur contains a government circular to the prefects of departments in relation to the English Exhibition of 1851. The Danish ambassador has bad yesterday and to day long interviews with the President of the Re public. The French government is preparing, in concert with England and Russia, negotiations in order to terminate the differences between Denmark mid i :Schleswig by a treaty. It is soppcsed that the recent defeat suffered by Dachies - the will render more easy the arrival at some definitive result, which, while it guarantees the exist ence of local rights, will prevent the question from assuming • dangerous magnitude as a Russian or German one. In the Areembly's sitting of to-day the budget of the Ministry of Marine was adopted without debate. Next came the budget of the ooloniee, in the discus sion of which there arose a question of con siderable interest. M. de Flavigny addressed ea Itherpellation to the Minister of Foreign Afffiks with regard to the reparation due to the numbeats of Havre and Bordeaux, in consequence iof the sdnare of fifteen of their vessels by the govern ment of the United States at San I/fascism. General I Lahitte replied that the title of those French subjects to satisfaction was incontestable, had been acknow ledged at Washington, and that the French govern ment would prosecute the affair so as to obtain fall compensation. Then the house pawed to the budget of finance, which was voted without any debate of interest. At the deemed of the president of the As sembly three bills were placed on the order of the day between the two budgets, namely the bill on the police of theatres, the bill on the railways from Tours to Nantes, and from Orleans to Bordeaux, and the bill on the colonial indemnity. The Assembly then adopted the purely formal articles of the budget, which remelted definitively fixed at 1,367 million,. M. Charles Lagrange has proposed, as an amend ment to M. Ginudin's motion to redoes the pay of representatives, that every representative should sa entice, in addition to one-third of his allowance, half , his income to the state. Several arrests in connexion with the affair of the Nemesis Club were made last night. Among the number of arrested is M. Vannier, former commis sioner of the provisional government in the depart ment of the Cote d'Or. Some factious writers attempt to get up a subject, of irritation against the English government out of the declaration of Lord Palmerston, that England had never acknowledged the French conquest of Algeria; and reproach the government with its readiness to do the bidding of a government which makes such a statement, by the decrees on quarantine which ap peared in the Moniker of yesterday. It is rumoored that Baroche is about to retire from the cabinet. This is far from improbable, but as yet there is not sufficient grounds for the report. The friends of Lamorreiere intend to bring forward this general as a candidate for the presidentship in 1852. To-day the term expires which is granted to elec tors excluded from the new lists for appeal to the 'the branches, under the &aspics' of the new administra tion. The paper is to be printed at Rouen. The first number is to appear on the 4th of August. The Boerne was oessipied w ith the liquidations at the and of the month. No news w a givea oat.

DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES, We have letters and papers from Hamburg of the 27th inst. The Schleswig-Holstein troops were then still at Sebestedt, where, after heroic efforts, Van der Tann and his corps bad succeeded in reaching his main body. With this corps and the troops remaining under Willieen the Duchies still have an army of 22,000 to 24,000 men. The Danes spent the day of the 26th in gathering up the dead on the field of battle. Their wounded are, it seems, in considerable number. The morning train from Rendsburg brought the in tellirnoe for the Harnburgh Borsenhalle, that the Danish general bad offered a truce of three days to General Willisen, but which he had refused. The Danish troops had. on the 26th, advanced within • few miles of the Eider, to Cropp. The following further particulars will be read with interest: (Front the Hansburgh Nachrichten, Jot, 27.) The lose on both sides is very great. Several officers, on a rough calculation, estimate it at above 10,000 men. Four guns fell into the hands of the Dates, and four of the Danish field-pieces were driven I into a morals, and spiked by the SchleswirHol 'Miners. One regiment of Danish Hussars is said to have suffered a great loss from the grape-shot of our artillery. No official reports have u yet been published, but we have received the following particulars from a highly respectable source, although we do not pledge ourselves u to their accuracy on every point : The centre of the Schleswig-Holstein army was posted at Idetedt, under the commend of General Willisen ; the right wing, under Von der Horst, ex tended from Wedelspang as far u the Sc.bleir and the left wing, under Baudissin, until he was obliged to retire in consequence of his wound, when the com mand devolved upon Von der Tann, extended from Helligbeck as far as the Treene, near Sollbroe, the whole army forming a semi-circle, the most promi nent point being the centre, at Idstedt. At the commencement of the engagement the left wing was very severely pressed, bat the Danes soon threw all their force on our centre, which, after a most obstinate contest, was at length compelled to retreat in the direction of Schleswig, the right wing also accompanying it, but maintaining the same relative position to the centre at 6 o'clock in the , evening as at 6in the morning. After the retreat of the centre, which defended itself with the utmost bravery, the left wing also commenced a retrograde movement, covering the retreat. The cavalry is said to have been but little engaged, and to have lost only three men. The following infantry officers are among the killed :—Major Brunckhof. Lieutenants—Haller stein, %Bergdorf, Haider, and Sander. And the following are among the wounded : Major-General Baudissin (slightly ; Major Lutzow (slightly); Captains—Unruh, Boner, and Carrel; Lieutenants—Schnobel, Hilliger, Duddiog, Wilding, and Jenner. _ _ The infantry took off their knapsacks, Sze., to enable them to fight the easier, and, having saved the whole of their baggage, it will at once be seen with what admirable order the retreat must have been conducted, The troops evacuated Schleswig, and commenced their march towards the month singing their national songs. (From the same Paper.) ECKERNFORDE, JCLT 2G, 11 km. The Danes are in full march upon as from the west, and are already in the immediate neighbour hood. They are expected to enter the town in a shirt time. Oar fortifications have been blown ap, and of the sixteen guns employed in arming oar batteries two have been removed to Friedricbsort, and the remainder, for want of horses, &c., have been obliged to be abandoned, but they have b:en spiked and otherwise rendered useless. . . . A Danish war steamer has been reconnoitering the Genoa, which, as is well known, has for some time been manned by the Prussians, and on learning this fact the steamer left as. GERMANY. RUPTURE BETWEEN PRUSSIA AND AUSTRIA. The news from Berlin is of the 27th inst. It is highly important. A correspondent, writing on that day, says : Ycu are aware that two notes have bean received from Vienna. One of them was a refusal to discuss at Frankfort, 1 in a free conference, the definitive organisation of the larger confederation, Penes Schwarzenberg being in favour of the ✓ssuioted diet of the confederation. The second note ie• mends that the Prateleas should quit the Duchy of Bolen , and that the Baden troops should totem home The result of these notes has been the real of of the Prue• elm envoy from Vienna. It will no doubt be followed by the departure from Frankfort of all the p!enipotentiaries of tha Union. In comer quence of these Austrian threats, it is stated that at a cabinet council held yesterday (the 26:b) the minister of war proposed to place the army on a war footing, but that the expense of 30 millions involved in this measure was cousi dered unativisable. But preparations are made for having the army on a war toeing within ten days. It seems patitive that two army corps are to be directed towerds Kreuznach and Woozier, and that a third will oc.upy the environs of Benet. The following letter is from our own corre spondent : BERLIN, JULY 25. The ministry are much engaged in preparations in cident upon the appointment of a finance minister, is the room of Von Rabe. A man is named, whose ap pointmet.t, certainly, would give a pledge that the existing . commercial system of Prussia shall not be altered in favour of protection, even supposing Von der Ileydt to maintain his place, which, however, is very doubtful. It is stated that Russia would support Denmark in the Schleswig affair by a material intervention. In this ease Russia would for the first time support the democratic party, for it is well known that with that pa ty in Denmark the proposition to suppress and war upon conservative lLuLtein originated. The important intelligence has arrived hero that the customs congress now sitting at Cases' cannot ogres upon the proposed alterations in the tariff of the Zollvereio, and that in consequence the further discussion of: those changes has been postponed in order that the Assembly might proceed to certain business of a merely administretive character. The Rhenish states, in which 60,000 spindles are turning, would not hoar of the duty on yarn rising from 4 to 6 dollars, u proposed by Von der Heydt. Saxony, whose government has been overwhelmed with petition■ against all in crease of the pressure of customs duties, could agree to no alterations in the tariff, since it considers neces sary that all the German governments should proceed to diemu the customs union proposals of Adstria without delay; a step which Prussia would not sanction. In this cam the petty jealousies and dis cords of German courts are likely to be of some ser vice to the people. The English consul-general, Mr. Ward, wu present in Cassel ; the free trade party is active, but their means of educating 70,000,000 of men in the principles of political economy are but In Saxony bath the chambers have met and are discussing the question of their competence or incom pettnoe. It is, at least, possible that the Stxon ministers will fall into their own angle, fer the report is already current that the members of the first chamber in the staves, not representing the people, but sitting in their own right, a kind of House of Lords in fact, have resolved not to surrender the place which they have been recalled to occupy by making any new electoral law, as the King has required. MALTA AND LEVANT. We have received our correspondence from Malta and the Levant. Our correspondent at Malta, writing on the 22nd, sates that the English fleet still canti need off the island. The number of sick in the fleet, which an.ounted at one time to 300, of whom the Queen alone counted 80, was greatly reduc d. The deaths hsd been few. On shore, a few isolsts d cues of cholera occurred, chiefly among the soldiers of the 44th, quartered at Florian. Dr. Grey, assl'aut-sur goon of the 44th, died on the night of the 13th. Ad mire: Parker came in on the 14th, in the Firebrand, and still remains. Vessels from Malta are subjected to a quarantine of 21 days at Naples, 14 at Celts Vecchia and Leghorn; 10 at Genoa, Ancona, Corfu, Puns, and Athens; 20 at Smyrna; 21 at Constan tinople ; and 10 in Syria, Alexandria, and Tripoli. Our letters from Athens are of the 18:h. The Greek government demanded of the Chamber a sup plementary grant for three months. The person chiefly instrumental in robbing the Greek bank, De metrius Coocarsi, had been arrested at Smyrna, and brought to Athens, where he confessed this crime. The French admiral Trehonart arrived in the Piraeus on the 7th, in the frigate Pandora. A band of SO brigands bad burned • large tillage called Kolaka. Numberless other bands exercised the most audacious depredations and atrocious cruelties. The signature of the treaty terminating the differences between Greece and Great Britain, of which we have received news from Paris, did not seem to be publicly known at the departure of the mail. Our letters from Constantinople are of the 15th. Colonel Rose, consul-general at Beyrout, had arrived, on his way to Syria. Gen. Jockmus was also in Con stantinople. Coffee was in great demand. Cotton is in demand at Smyrna. 300 piastres were asked on the 15th for the canter. 500 bales were sold at 290 piastres the canter. Coffee scarce, and worth 750 piastres the 100 ekes. CALIFORNIA. Dates from Sin Francisco, to June 1, state that trade had suffered a little from the fire which bad occurred - ..... - on the 4th of the previous month. Dealers bought but small quantiti, s, jutt sufficient for present supplies. EXCHANOWC—BiIIs on England, short eight, 430. and 49d. ; France, 51r. ; United States, par, three days' sight. The interest on money is 2 per cent. per month on good security. The total export of dust, according to the clearan ces at the Custom-hoagie, from the Ist October, 1849 (before which date no entry was made), to the 28th of May last, has been 8,845,952 dole ; to this we may add 2,203,000 dole. to be taken away by the mail steamer to-day. Of the amount of dust exported as above (per Custom-house clearances) 8,616.814 dots. went to Panama; 319,138 dole. to Clatit 1 i e. 289,138 doh. to Valparaiso, and 30,000 dole. to Talcahuano— port of Conception in the south of Chili); and 10,000 dole. to Peru. To the amount of exports cleared we may add as foibles:—Taken away by private parties in their luggage and about their persons (which is reckoned at about 330,000 doll. a month, although I think the eetinante Liw), would give in the eight months—October to Mey -2,800,000 dole.; add also amount taken by the vessels trading to Sow h America (captains and paesmeers seldom "clearing" their gold) in the same period, 500,000 dole.; and the quantity taken in the same time by men•ot.war 500,000 dole.; and the whole will give an export of gold in the eight months of 14,845,952 dole. This estimate is rather under than over the mark. Respecting the imports of bullion during the same period of eight mouths—October to Mar lest—there is much greater uncertainty. According to the manifests pr. s.nted at the Custom-house, the value of the imparts of bullion (In coin of all nations) is only 1,337,331 dole . of which 1,235,331 came from Panama, mid the remains 102,000 (rum Idelica. What the customs call "declared" amount cf imports is not one•tenth of the amount " brought here." The is none at all "declared" as brought from South America, I mean Peru and Chili, although large amounts have come (rem Chili ; and again the sum " declared" as from Ms air° does not amount to a tithe brought by gam biers alone from that country. • . . _ The tax of 30 dole. a month per man upon foreign miners had canted much dissatisfaction among that numerous and hardworking body. The tsx is undoubtedly high. and as it eanno• be reduced until the legislature meet next January. the trade of the southern mining disttict (Stockton) will suffer severely. The price current presents none of those exorbitantly high prices which at one time made it a document of no ordinary interest. :ut COWL OSBORNE, MONDAY, JVLY The Queen and Prince, accompanied by their illus trious relatives. walked early this morning in Osborne Park and grounds.

SUNDAY UTTER CARRIERS.—Some of the pass engem, when they arrived at Southampton on Sanday last. by the excursion train from London, immedistcly sent off two starrier pigeons, with noses announcing their arrival safe from railway accidents. The pigeons, as soon as they were let go, ascended over the town of Southampton, and for • few mements, they kept darting towards all points of the compass, and revelling apparently in the sunbeams that were playing on Southampton Water. In a very short time, however, true to unerring instinct, the, flew t!ff rapidly in • north-easterly direction :owarde the metropolis. THE NEM SUNDAY POSTAL REGULATIONS here instentoesly multiplied human labour on the Sabbath day. All the common Barriers sending their goods by railway were in the habit of held ist duplicates of their hiloff parcels by poet, and it often happened that half a s n h dupli cates were delivered, in various towns in the kingdom, by a single postmen. It is necessarythat these bills of parcels should be delivered on Sunday in order that carriers may commence work a: five cc six o'clock on Monday inotning.
