Several casualties are reported. There was considerable firing in front of Richmond on Wed nesday p.m., and along the line of the rear picket guard. Present movements in the rebel lines indi cate unusual commotion, but nothing is known re specting its cause. It is thought that Lee has been sending reinforcements both towards Lynchburg to oppose General Sheridan's advance, and to Wil mington to prevent the sending of our expedition against that city. Rebel deserters who came in a few days ago declare that the state of Whirs will compel early offensive operations by the rebel army in some direction, the nature of which is unknown.

We found seventeen guns protected by traverses, two only of which were dismounted, bearing up the beach and cover ing a strip of land the only practicable route, not wide enough for • thousand men in line of battle. Having captured Flag Food Battery, the garrison of which, sixty-five MSG and two commissioned °Moors, were take• off by the navy, we also motored Half- Moos Battery, and levee officers and 208 men of the Third North C►rolina Jaaior Reserves, iscludiog its ocentnander, from whom I learned that a portion of Hoke. division, consisting of Kirkland'. and Elopgixd's brigades, had been sent from the lines before Richmood on Tuesday last, arriving at Wilmington on Friday night. Gomm' Weitaal advanced his skirmish line within 50 yards of the fort, white the garrison was kept in their bombproof. by the fire of the navy, and so closely that three or four men of the picket Hee violated upon the parapet sod through the sally port of the work; capturing • horse, which they brought off, killing the orderly, who was the bearer of • despatch free the chief of artillery of General Whiting to bring a light battery within the fat; and also brought away from the parapet the flag of the fart. This was done while the shells of the navy were falling about the heads of the daring men who entered the work ; and it was evident, as soon as the fire of the navy ceased bemuse al the darkness, that the fort was fully massed again. and opened both grape and canister upon our picket line. Findieg that nothing but the opera tions of a regular siege, which did not come within my in• *ructions, would reduce the fort, and in view of the threat ening aspect of the weather, the wind arising from the month-west reediting it impossible to make farther lauding through the surf, I wised the troops, with their prisoners, to re-embark, and I see nothing further that can be done by the land forces.

The fire was dis covered, about 2 a. m., in the after cabal, and in lees than an hour the whole of the upper deck was in flames. As soon as the alarm was given the dock authorities opened the dock gates and scuttled the ship, so that the cargo has only been damaged by water. It consisted of about 4,000 bags, and has been valued at Ba. 30,000. The origin of the fire is a mystery, but the papers have all demanded that the government should wake a stringent inquiry into the matter, as the occurrence is supposed to be the work of an incendiary.

It is beyond measure inexpedient that we should repeat the disattrous expertment of 1839, of occu pying any country with a permanent force or attempting to force upon it an unwelcome rule, but we cannot safely be inattentive to what is going on." The fund for the relief of the sufferers by the cyclone at Maanhipatam has reached the amount of more than half a lakh of rupees by public sub scription, in which Bombay figures very liberally, according to her wont.

Affairs in J ap an (says the China Mail) appear to hang in the ba la nce. It would puzzle a conjuror to tell the next move that the Japanese authorities will make with regard to foreign relations. The virtue of patience, it would seem must be exer cised in regard to our relations with that strange people. Every new experience that we acquire with respect to them only stimulates further inquiry, and it appears very plainly that Japan cannot be any longer a closed country to foreigners. In one important respect it differs from China—viz., in its strict internal organisation, which utterly prevents that species of cans belli that brought matters to a cries in the latter coun try. The affairs of the country seem to be con ducted with the utmost strictness and vigour. There is nothing to tempt the pirate, the smug gler, or the rowdy ; and the consequence is that none of that class have as yet molested Japan, or brought us into hostile terms with the authorities there. We can only repeat what we have already urged, that the removal of Sir R. Alcock was a mis take on the part of her Majesty's ministers. He has spent very many years in J span and the adjacent em pire of China, studying, no doubt, the peculiar idio- syncrasies of both races ;he was at e an po t e lare . prepared to advise in cases of difficulty ; his has proved to a very great extent correct ; and be to have been allowed a chance of following it up. People here say that the recall of Sir R. Alcock is merely a device of the English cabinet to meet the objections of the peace party at home, and to stave off attacks similar to those which were based upon the affair at Eagosima. If this be so, we should decidedly say that Sir Rutherford was in luck. The operations at Shimonoseki were of an unusually mild sort, and proved as thoroughly effective as could have been expected by the peace party itself. In the meantime all continues to go well in Japan. AUSTRALIA. VICTORIA. The general election terminated in the first week of November, having caused but little excitement save in the district of Kilmore, where a disturbance took place, but happily without serious cons.- quencee. The results of the elections are a surprise to everybody. Public Tenn of unblemished reputation, high standing, and approved ability, have been re -1 jaded for men comparatively unknown, and pew' seeming no legislative experience whatever. Mr. W. C. Haines, who has been twice premier, and who also bad charge of the department of finance during the existence of the coalition !ministry, which held cane from 1861 to 1863, has been de feated by a gentleman utterly strange to public life; and the same thing has occurred in many other instances. The new parliament was to meet on the 28th November, but it was not expected that much work would be done until the new year. The Argus thinks that ministers should do something for colonial defence, "particularly as the weakness of our position has been forcibly brought home to us by the intelligence received this month from Europe of the attack which Russia contemplated on the Australian colonies in the event of any war with bland." he anti-transportation movement is still prose- I cuted with unabated zeal and energy. Numerous petitions to the Queen and the I m perW Legislature— the result of public meetings in all parts of the colony—havebeen despatched toEnglsind by the pre sent mail. A great metropolitan demonstration on the subject took place at St. George's Ball, Mel bourne, on Nov. 18, when the Anglican Bishop of Melbourne, a dean of the Roman catholic church, and ministers of other denominations, united in protesting against the continuance of the evil. The Arra contains the following information respecting the gold fields :—" A want of water is beginning to be already felt on those of oar gold fields which are worst supplied, and if dry weather should continue, the yield of gold must be seriously affected thereby ere long. It is some years since we have had a really dry summer, and the effect of such a season would now be rather serious on the diggings, as many of the worst provided of the miners have not the means to support them long without getting gold, and will not know where to betake themealves, any peat extent of poor mgn's ground being maroely ever available durinOhe slimmer. Many of those with means will find their way to the mountains, but even the richest of new reefs will support only a few men until crushing mills are erected ; and it will be long yet before machinery enough has been taken to the reefs in this region, which have been opened for some time, and are known to be rich, even though the tracks through the mountains have been sufficiently cleared and opened already to allow of loaded drays being taken as far as the Crooked River. As a resof the late speculation in shares, a number of new companies have been formed, principally for deep sinking, and these will Mord employment to a large number of men on wages ; but even this re source will scarcely suffice for the many miners who will be thrown out of work if the summer should prove dry. In the mean time, there is of activity on many of the old spots, and we vet bad a new rush or two of some little promise within the last few weeks. NNW =ALAND.
