LONDON, ITTESDIT, MARCH 11. TOE discussion of the Treaty with France to whisk the House of Comatose wee invited last night by two gentlemen severally representing two if the most influential and important constitoencies tithe empire, was suddenly postponed. The Howse having pared the resolutions which saection the Treaty, might be supposed to be in a condition to pro ceed to the decorous and customary ceremony of voting an address to the Crown. It appears, now ever, that Mr. lima.* at, whose assiduity will doubtless be appreciated lathe proper quarter, wants the occasion once more to air his pet secret. He thinks the House would he trifling with a greet subject, and taking part in the emptiest of forme, if it gave an °piano' on the liberat Me of French and English commerce. before it was fully informed of the siouree the French Enetrioa will take in certain onitingeocies respecting Savoy. The question of Savoy is see of great importance, but we doubt whether the con nexion between it and this commercial treaty will be so clear to people out of doors as Mr. KINOLAIE and his supporters may wish. Oa what calculation of political probabilities, on what estimate of French policy, could an English Government have done better than to make this treaty when the oppoetn nity woe presented to it ? If, es Mr. KINGLAKE ass sum's, sad as we also think, France is too prone to listen to the suggestions of ambition, is it not wipe to attach her interests all the more strongly to the maintenance of peace ? This treaty has not been pat forward by Ministers in a spirit of charlatanry as a patent specific, an in fellible preservative against wars and rumours of wars. The Goverumeot have appealed boldly to the common Nadi of the country, and asked it to judge for itself of the degree and kind of influence which an enormous extension of intercourse is likely to have. We certainly have no intention of renoun cing our political character iu Europe fur the sake of seeding earthenware, garascios, sod plated articles of every description into France at and under a thirty per cent. duty ; and we may take it for granted that the French will do so just as little because we take their wins, in increasing quantity. But for all that, the enlarged community of interest and sentiment which will attend and fellow the extension of trade bet we en the two countries, will make itself heard, and ph ad powerfully, at every mists, in favour of huma nity and peace. Mr. ti•vuova FiTroua . u , wise represented the Foreign•udice in the Howes etConsmens daring Lord Ku-NE.BoLitre Secretaryship, asked last night whether the Government ought to take that opportu nity, when there was a very serious question affect ing the relations, not only of this country, but of the whole of Europe, of aeking the House to /sprees its assent to • Treaty by which the relations between es and France ars rendered more close and intimate, There is only one asinaeption on which this language and that held by Mr. KM:Lake is intelligible. If the present Government is eacrilicing the interests, or the dignity, maven the antiesent el the ematry, is T. 7et .7, IP. sad Oa P• 0 1 41 ; THE this 'frosty, then let the fact los pointed out, and by all means let the Ministers be censured. Bat there is not • man on the Oppcmhisa benches eqbp will venture to assort this. Now that the official igen "spina respecting Svip ip published. w all ISO that at the veryy time Ministers were urging the Treaty thrsq Parliampitt they were addreseing the moot earnest remonstrances to the French Eutaw& against the projected annexatn. la the nervew, feeble policy which Lead MALAMBLIZT would have oonosived and Mr. BETNOI7I FITZGZILALD advocated, there would have hem so room for this twofold energy, exerted dant taseonsly in different directions. The present Go vernment, however, do not think it necomary to monde* one duty to another, and And it quite prac ticable to address the strongest political remonstrances, and proposals in the interests of commerce, at one and the saws time, to one and the same Potentate. But we need not take much trouble to penetrate the secret thought of the Opposition. Mr. Ftrzort- LLD has disclosed the animus of his party in words that are irrevocable. Its object is to place this country at the head of a European league against France. Lord Joint RuesELL's explicit remonstrances, which we printed on Saturday, do not satisfy them. They are mere " rhe toric." Something more is wanted. Certain sovereigns of the Continent are shaking on their throes.. " There was not a Sovereign who did not " look to France with something akin to fear, but " there was not a country that wished to take the " initiative is a policy of resistance. They looked to this country with its free Parliament and free " preps for an initiative, and wh we led they " were sure to follow. (Loud opposition cheer..)" This is the latest developmeat of the plot which was seemed on when the hon. speaker was at the Foreign-offioe. It was called " nee " trelity" then. We are glad it is at last disclosed. Mr. BRIGHT expressed the simple. unexaggerated truth when he said, list sight, that " there were persons in this country occupying " positions before the public, who would prefer a " great alienation from France, whatever it might " lost—even though it might coot the terrific con " sequences of another war—rather than they would " we the growing friendship between the two peoples " which wee likely to be the result of this com " mercial treaty now being negotiated." No parties should be allowed to renew irritating discussions, day by day, without being compelled to take the con sequences. PROTIDENcE his set u down to live by the side of France, with her character such as history and events have made it. Are we, while looking to our own duty, honour, and interests, to cultivate relations of friendship with her or not That is the simple question. If we are, then the course which Messrs. HINGLAKII and FITZGERALD, and their sup porters, of whatever party, are taking, is most mis chievous. The challis's* which Lord JOUR RUSSELL addressed to them is se necessary as it to just. lam " sorry to see the course which some hon. gentlemen " have taken in renewing day after day irritating " discussions--putting forward particular parts of " incideets that have taken plane—caking for no " decisive vote—proposing no definite resolution " but always pointing at that person whom the " French by an immense majonty of vete. have " chosen to rale over them—u a ruler whom we " meat distant—agaiut whom we are to be perpe '" taa/ly prepared, in order at last to bring to a "total rupture the amicable relations between the " two eountriee. I most on this occasion really ask " them to ease to some definite resolution as to " what they themselves propose by their speeches " on the subject." gbc eeun.

INDIA. Bombay journals of February 9 have come to hand this afternoon. We learn from them that in COMM quenoe of the despatch from home of troops for the China expedition, several of the regiments de tailed in the acoonnts by the last mail as destined for China from the Bengal Presidency, have been countermanded, and that the following is the present arrangement: /1. new gold-field him been discovered at the had of th,, Yarns in one of the western spars of the Australia Alpe ; in • looality which from the scrubby and rocky character of the country had never been explored. Some Elect mad brought Into town was analysed by Dr. Mac. &dam, cad found to be worth at the rate of 1,6001. per ton. Ia the Legislative Assembly the Chid Secretary stated, in 'sewer to a question, that a person of the name of Were' bad called on him some time ago, sad reported that he had discovered a new gold-field. The Nod was through Yew sad by Bryant'e station. Fifteen at twenty mile' beyond the latter point the road became very difficult. The discoverer had traced the creek for about forty miles, and had found pia all the way, but not in large quantities. The staff which was taken from the creek, which bad the appear. awn of black sand, had been analysed and declared to be very valuable, the sample being estimated to be worth 1,6001. per ton. The road to these gold-fields is, howe‘se, so difficult that this is no Immediate probability of their attracting a large population. Laroplough appears to be keeping up its character. The official statement tithe Chief Secretary is that these digging. aro stunting an important character, that there are alree4 20,000 people on the ground, that no tingle individual hale obtained say great result, bat that it was believed the 1„-,- giags would Vn out to be very profitable. There had been a large number of insolvencies during the past mouth, bat in most cases the liabili ties were small. The anticipations of large failures had not been realised. The local markets, how ever, were in I most unsatisfactory state.

The embarkation of such troops as are definitively destined to form part of t►e force is rapidly pro ceeding, and we look with interest for some infor mation respecting the artillery from home. All the arrangements are concluded for its transport from Suez." Your lordships mu aware that the bilerreation of the excise oiler tikes pl.ai at • paper mill, for the first time, when the paper is reedy to b• seat out. It Is then his business to weigh it, to amp the duty ecooedieg to this weight, and to place round as roans labelsand wrappers denoting that the charge has been made, end distinguishing them from such as have sot been brought under hie inspection. These maple regulations leave the paper-maker compara tively tree to adopt the beet end most economical mode, of workiag, and he can scarcely snort, as the malteters and distillers do, that the cost of production Is increerid, at the quality of the meankeotured article impaired, by the fetters imposed epos him for fiscal purpose/. We eessidered it right to point out this dletinguishing o►sreelrWb of the paper duty, aim important considera tion in •ay discussion respecting the maintenance of it em • source of rwvea•e, and as being a matter of which few per sons besides those practically conversant with the operation of the revenue laws could be expected to have say knowledge. But our observations were limited to able one point, measly, the freedom of the proms of manufaotnre from excise regu lations, and were nut intended to convey any opinion upon the wider question whether the general effects of the duty were or were not as pernicious em bad been represented by the advocates goer its repeal. I. our third report, however (that of het year), we WWII compelled to drew your lordships' shanties' to the very great sod awessing msberrassenente in which we were aveived in collecting this tax. We pointed out that this state of things was attributable a • great won to the condemnation of the duty by • resolution of the Home of Commons; and we might perhaps have added, that the evils of which we complained had bees aeon mulstiag for missy years previously, under the prev,lence of a general hammiest that the duty on paper would be given up on the very first available opportunity. We endeavoured to show how imperials it was under these circumstances to The expedition with the submarine telegraph cable, which left Muscat on the morning of the 24th January, completed the laying of the line to Kooria Mooria saccessfally, on Sunday, the 29th January. Bombay residents were waiting with some impatience to hear of its continuation to Aden, when India will be almost within instant communication with Europe. Lord Canning, we learn from • north-west con temporary, held a grand durbar in Umballah at noon on the 19th of January, at which the Mahe rsjah of PlitteetJah, the Rajah of Jheend, and a large assemblage of other princes and nobles wire present. The scene is described as having been very grand and impressive. In the afternoon there was a grand review, in which the 7th litmus, 6th Dragoon Guards, a troop of Royal Artillery, a detachment of the 33th Foot, the 87th Royal Irish Fusiliers. and the 27th Innis killings, together with several native regiments, waisted, the object being that Visoonntees Canaing might present new colours to the gallant 87th. In the evening a ball was to be given by the of oers of her Majesty's 27th Inniskillings, and the camp was to break ground again for Lahore, on the 23rd January. It is said that Lord Clyde will accompany the Governor-General to Peshawar, where Duet Mahomed is to be received at • grand durbar. At no period daring the peat five years have them markets been so oompletely overdone and depressed. The evil woe gnomes of tzarist/a importation would appear to hate culminated, •nd a general feeling of want of confidence in the future of our import trade pervades the city, and we do not see how It could well be otherwise. From month to month, for years past, it has been strenuously nrpd that these markets are not capable of almorbiag the 400111109 As supplies which COM* forward from the United Kingdom, from the East, and from America. Our powers of consumption, it has bean said, have a positive limit, and the old laws of supply and demand apply equally in this as in ether countries. But enpoetulation this nature has been without effect. Speculation In imports, of the moat preposterous kind, has gone steadily forward, and one section of reckless speculators has Lem succeeded by another, so that all the evils of a bad system have been kept vigorously alive. At this moment we find that nearly every, if not every, imported article is held in inottlinsta quantities, and that sellers are willing to realise on terms which, in many instances, leave • direct loss. Goods are passed about from hand to band, and a little spurious excitement is occasionally engendered by the pro ceedings of • few credulous buyers ; bat the Lot Mill re mains notwithstanding, that no healthy trade is being car ried on, and that business is gradually becoming leas ma nerative to all who are moaned in it. apply to pullameat for power to subject sew branches of the teed' to excise regulations ; and at thorium time how unit's& It wee to allow to ose as exemption from that duty sad sur vey which slow prevented • rival branch from successful oompatition is the refirket. A serious disturbance has broken out is the city of the Nizani. SYDNEY. (DT ILICTIUO TZLEOWII.) SYDNEY, JAN. 16. The Liseknoie Herald says it has news from the frontiers to the effect that Jung Bahadoor has surrendered the Begum and her son Burjees Ka& unconditionally, without any stipulation for their maintenance ; and that they have arrived at Gouda and will be sent on to Lucknow. Should this news be confirmed, there is no longer any rebel leader in the field, of high or low degree, in Nepaul. There appears, however, to be a cause for regret inanother quarter. The Oade Gaulle hears that tidings have been received at head-quarters of "a feeling of discontent still lingering in the minds of the remnant of the late Company 'a European troops, wipe cially the Artillery. It has transpired that several of them, in different parts, have been in correspon dence, urging each other to agitate for the bounty. To put down this spirit of insubordination, govern ment has resolved upon some most stringent mea sures, which the ringieaders will be shortly made to feel."
