" Yet, after the events which have occurred since the declaration of war, it is not to be expected that any treaty, procured by the whole force of Germany, which should restore Austrian supre macy in Italy, would have in it the elements of permanence and security. " The Prince Regent of Prussia looks with be coming anxiety to the maintenance of the balance of Power in Europe. Let us examine this matter. The balance of power in Europe means, in effect, the independence of its several States. The pre ponderance of any one Power threatens and de stroys this independence. " But the Emperor Napoleon, by his Milan pro clamation, has declared, as Baron Schleinitz has justly noted, that in this war he seeks neither eon quest nor territorial aggrandizement. " It might, perhaps, be premature to discuss whether the King of Sardinia should reign over Lombardy, Modena, and Tuscany, or whether se veral independent States in Northern Italy should be maintained or created. " Be their divisions and boundaries arranged as they may, it is the firm persuasion of her Majesty's Government that an Italy in which the people should be free citizens of a great country' would strengthen and confirm the balance of power. " The independence of States is never so secure as when the sovereign authority is supported by the attachment of the people. " A sovereign maintained wholly by the force of arms over .a disaffected people is a perpetual object of attack to her ambitious; neighbours; and a ba lance of power founded on such discordant elements gives only an unstable equilibrium. "If Italy could be ruled over by sovereigns pos sessed of the affections of their people, that coun try, with its 25,000,000 of inhabitants, its natural wealth, and its ancient civilisation, would, in the opinion of her Majesty's Government, be a valuable member of the European family. " I must not omit to state that any settlement of Italy would, in the eyes of her Majesty's Govern ment, be incomplete, which did not effect a perma nent reform in the administration of the States of the Church. OUR NATIONAL DEFENCES. (From the Times) When an independent member of Parliament comes forward and presses upon the Government that they should raise a large sum by loan, and apply it, to the amount of many millions, to build ing fortifications all over the coast, it is very difficult to believe that the Ministerial resistance is made in good faith, and that there is no collusion between the importunate suppliant and the self-denying recusant. Even as Cmsar, while he put from him the crown th a t Anthony Offered, almost seemed to clutch the bauble as he refused it, so we may fancy with what regret any Prime Minister must feel himself compelled to reject a proposition such as that offered on Friday night by Mr. Horsman to Lord Palmerston. The eclat of being the first seri ously to attempt to put the country in an efficient state of defence, the strength which the expendi ture of many millions of money must necessarily confer on any Administration, the Parliamentary influence it would secure, the local interests it would conciliate, the vast amount of patronage it would create, must all have passed in tempting review before the mind of our Premier. Like Merlin at the hollow oak,' he resisted for the first time the voice of the charmer; but we trust the experiment will not be too often repeated, lest " what should not be should be." in the first place, before we burden posterity with a debt of some five or six millions for the purpose of fortifying our dockyards, let us consider the agency we are to employ. 'When we have voted our five or six millions, to whom al e they to be handed over for expenditure ? Clearly, in a great measure to the authorities of the Horse Guards, still blushing with the glories of the Crimea, and to our engineers. We have some ex perience of what these departments can do in the way of management. We know how they besiege, and we may easily guess how they will defend. The idea of fortifying our dockyards is no new one. Large sums have been voted and expended upon it before now, with a result, as is, we believe generally admitted, that nothing really effective has been done, and that they remain now, as they were before, at the mercy of an invading army. This is not encouraging, unless we could have some assurance that we should, contrary to all expectation, find our money more economically ex pended when raised in large masses than it was when doled out in driblets, and that our authorities would show themselves equal to the conception and execution of a number of large works simultaneously undertaken, while they have shown themselves so entirely unable to deal with smaller operations car ried on one at a time. The whole force of public opinion in this country has hitherto proved unequal to the reform of our military system. We regret that we cannot amend, but we can, at any rate, steer clear of the absurdity of trusting to machinery the inefficiency of which we have proved, and assuming that because it has been faithless over a few things it will therefore be faithful over many things. We sincerely believe that it would be quite possible to expend five millions of the public money through the agency of our present military departments, without deriving for the public any tangible advantage, and for this reason, if for no other, we object most earnestly to running such a risk. Other reasons are, however, by no means wanting. Fortifications are things permanent and enduring, stiff, inflexible, and unalterable, while the art of war is changing day by day. with chame leon-like celerity, and has gone through , more changes in the last five years than in the five cen turies that elapsed between Cressy and Waterloo. On what principle are we to fortify ? Are we to assume that the destructive ingenuity of mankind is exhausted, and that, having suddenly leaped to the discovery of conical bullets and rifled cannon, it will rest there and go n o f ur th er; If t hi s i s to be the basis on which we are to build, there is little " Every one knows that Rome and the Legations have been much worse governed by the Pope's Mi nisters than Lombardy by Austrian Archdukes, and that would be a partial and unsatisfactory ar rangement which struck down the rule of the lat ter, and left the former in all its deformity. " Our views upon this subject have not been withheld from the Government of the Emperor of the French. " Such being the opinions of her Majesty's Go vernment on the present state of affairs, they are averse to any interposition which might either prove fruitless in the first instance, or which might lead to a partial and insecure settlement. " Her Majesty used her utmost efforts, consistent with peace, to maintain the faith of treaties. At the last moment Austria, by an act of supreme im prudence, began the war, and invaded Piedmont. From that time everything has been changed. Austria overstepped the frontier laid down in the treaties of 1815. It could no longer be expected that those treaties would be regarded as binding by France and Sardinia. Italy has been roused to war, and is taking her part in the struggle. " In these circumstances her Majesty's Govern ment are bound to take a larger view of the whole field of contest. They will be glad ; to consult Prussia on every occasion where either Power is of opinion that a step towards peace can be made with good effect. " It gives them pleasure to find that the Cabinet of Berlin does not partake of the violent excitement which has lately arisen in some parts of Germany, and that in directing the efforts of the German Confederation she is animated by an enlightened care for the best interests of European civilisation." CIRCULAR OF THE NEW SARDINIAN MINISTER, The following circular has been addressed by the new Minister of the Interior, Signor Rattazzi, to the Governors and the Intendants-General of Provinces : " The nature of the events in the midst of which has been accomplished the annexation of Lombardy to the Subalpine kingdom has given occasion to the eminent men who form the Council of the Crown to resign office; but that change does not induce any serious variation in the politi?al direction which the Government of the State has, with so much wisdom and firmness, up to this time maintained. " The sentiments which bind the King and the country to the glorious Emperor and the Great Nation the destinies of which he rules ; the neces sity of assuring, and of loyally executing, in the interests of our common country, the conditions of the peace ; the opportuneness of giving to the annexed provinces the earliest possible participa tion in the franchises of which the old ones are in possession—far from detaching us from it, ought to persuade us more and more of the fitness of remain ing-faithful to the direction which, for more than two lustres, has assured to us, by the union of order with liberty, all the benefits of our political regi men. danger in predicting that before the last shilling shall have filtered through the reluctant fingers of our schemers some new invention will render the work useless, and oblige us once more to recom mence it, once more to be disappointed. All ex perience shows us that they who invest their money on the faith that science has reached its limits in vest in a dangerous security, and commit them selves to the support of a falling cause. We have mnch confidence in what may be done by improving our defences by sea, and some in efforts that may be made under the pressure of immediate emergency and danger, but none in the preparations of Government instituted a long while beforehand, and much more likely to result in some colossal job than in any real plan of defence. It was not the fortifications of Sebostpol, nor the vast sums which the Imperial Government believed to have been expended in making it impregnable, re sisted for 11 months the combined armies and navies of France and England. Sebastopol built her own defences while our engineers'were making their approaches, and had made herself almost im pregnable just about the time that we were ready to begin to besiege her. Take as a specimen of what is proposed the project for fortifying Wool wich. It is much as if a man should leave his plate-chest wide open and lock up his crockery in an iron safe. The best protection to Woolwich will be its proximity to London- In the metropolis there will literally be metal more attractive so long as mankind shall continue to prefer gold and silver to brass and iron. Should the Zouaves and Turcos ever come, they are likely to fall into no such error, as it does not seem probable that the forces of the nation will abandon London in order to fall back suburbs. If storeswhich a is, reconsidered in danger after all,only one g o e f r its it. v our at Woolwich, let us by all means remove them to some inland depot, such as Weedon, for instance ; but do not let us countenance the ridiculous as mpelyyto. abandon at any rate, the sa m ni p t e i t o r n o p t l a i t s .vi' t o re t a h r e e fury an n e d d t a r a aci ta cityo f a w n h i i m e y o . ur coasts and p is la a ca k b in le gd i o u ni va i d n er i , ts c e o l n f te i n s t ln t s h t a , t w. , w e hi at l n e , preserve rerh a p t a h e t a h r e s e b n e a s l t o f d o e u fe r n a n i e t I o l e f r our arsenals will be found in the increase o our flotilla of gunboats. These vessels, unma nageable and almost useless in the midst of a stormy sea, may be of the most essential service by taking up positions in shallows, where great ships cannot go, and in landlocked situations where the smoothness of the water allows their aim to be steady and effective. We agree with Mr. Cobden that it is quite absurd to exclude gunboats and corvettes from the estimate of our naval force. We believe that for purely defensive purposes they will be found far more useful and efficient than the mighty leviathans of the deep. We must have both, but, while the larger vessels must be looked to for securing our command of the sea, it will be upon our smaller craft that we must principally rely for impeding or preventing an invasion. After all, however, the time has come when we should drop these eternal discussions. We have voted the money necessary for our immediate exigencies. Let us hear what a commission will report, and then act with all possible promptitude. Despotisms have this advantage over constitutional countries—that their actions generally precede the discussion of them. Let it not be said with truth that, while France acts without discussion, England is content to discuss without action. " And therefore the new Council will continue to promote to the utmost the development of the great principles which the magnanimous granter of the Statute (Constitution) established as the basis of our public law for the advancement of his people and as the safeguard of the destinies of Italy, which will find, in the reforms accomplished, and in the liberties practised after our example, the way to attain, without convulsion (scosse), that independ ence which is demanded by the wish of Europe, in harmony with the requirements of justice and civi lization. _ _ _ " The work which the new Ministry is called to conduct to a termination in a brief space is arduous in proportion to the importance of the results which the whole country is to derive from it. It has need, therefore, of the frank and intelligent co-operation of all the officials employed in the public adminis tration in the various parts of the country. The undersigned addresses himself to those who belong to his department, confidently inviting them to identify themselves with the idea of the Govern ment, and to make it their study to facilitate to it the fulfilment of the duties imposed upon it by the confidence of the Crown. _ "To this end they will take pains to calm those minds which are too readily discouraged, to raise depressed hopes, to strengthen faith in right and ilt liberty, to remove all occasions of discord, to give force to the conditions of order, to link together, in short, all the interests, all the aspirations, all the legitimate influences f the nation around the con stitutianal throne of the King. " The King's Government desires to be always that of the whole country, and never that of a party. And if it be inseparable from free institutions that the nation should be divided into parties, it is like wise an essential condition of those institutions that the authoriries, whence directly emanates the gua rantee of the rights and interests of the citizens, should remain alien to all spirit of party. " The moral authority of the public officers will increase in proportion as they show themselves im pressed with their duties in this respect. " Neither must it be forgotten by the represen tatives of the Central Power in the various pro vinces, that, according to the spirit of one institu tions, they are at the same time, and in many re spects, the representatives of those same provinces towards that Power itself, and that they are there constituted to protect, second, and strengthen, in the terms of the law, the local action, as well public as private, and not to deny it, suffocate it, or ap propriate it to the exclusive profit to the governing action. The concentrating organization that con stitutes the strength of the great modern States is certainly not to be dispensed with; but it cannot be exaggerated without danger of diminishing its efficacy, since such exaggeration would be detri mental to the energy which naturally developes it self in the communal and provincial circles and in that of private associations, whereby the political and economical power of nations is so greatly in creased. And as it is the intention of the Government to propose reforms which may enlarge the com munal and provincial liberties, and more amply realize the co-operation of the nation with all the carepowers s o e f co t t h i d e this St intention,ate, thep preparingublicoffici officials will illeotpaklee as far as on them depends, for this ex t ens i on of the public guarantees. ".In the provinces where the representative in stitution is not yet in vigour they will endeavour to anticipate the moment in which this shall be be stowed on them, endeavourinc , to ascertain the wishes of the populations confided to their care, and surrounding themselves to that end with those men who by their enlightenment, morality, and other dualities are looked upon as the natural representa tives of the district. In this same intention they will be careful to remove from office those persons who do not enjoy public consideration.

THE. SUN, LONDON, ' . MuNDAY EVENING, AUGUST 1, 1859. INDIA AND CHINA. In anticipation of the Overland Mail we have received by extraordinary express our papers from Calcutta, dated June 17 ; and Hong Kong, June 4. The Bengal Hurkaru of June 17 contains the following The past fortnight has been rather' barren of news. The courts of inquiry are still sitting at Meerut and Allahabad, and the European malcon tents have for the most part returned to their duty. It is said that a few of the " dumpies"—the cog nomen of the lads lately enlisted for the ex-com pany's cavalry—who are stationed at Allahabad had serious intentions a few days ago of deserting, but they thought better of it. We have no official news of the rebels. There - have, however, been some skirmishes with small bodies of insurgents. " A few days' ago," says a northwest contemporary, " Major Rennie. 3d Sikhs, with a party of his own regiment and 50 men of the Futtygurh Horse, made a forced march of nearly 40 miles, and attacked the celebrated dacoit leaders, Ballee and Balkurrun, and took their camp, killing about 30 of the rebels. His loss was one russuddar, one kote duffadar, and some sowars of the Futtygurh Horse killed, besides a few wounded." The rebels in Nepaul are reported, to be in the greatest straits. Sir Jung Bahadoor wishes them out of the country, but a rather strong party at Katmandoo regard them with some degree of favour, and it is said that the Nana, Bala Rao, and others have got permission, for themselves and families only, to remain in the Bang or Deogurh Valley, and they have accordingly eamped at the mouth of the Goorung Pass; leading into thesDang Valley. The Begum is in the interior of Nepaul, and Munnoo Khan, it is rumoured, will join her. The sepoys have been requested to quit the coun try. A rather large body of them are in the jungles at the foot of the hills, occasionally leaving their hiding place in quest of food. The ex-Nawab of Furruckabad is on his way through Central India to Bombay. The inhabitants of Furruckabad have raised a purse for him. The Legislative Council has not sat for two weeks, as sufficient members were not present to form a quorum. Mr. Ricketts has gone on leave to Madras, and on the 4th inst., in consequence of the illness of Sir Mordaunt Wells, Sir Charles Jackson had to take his place in the Insolvent Court, whilst on the following Saturday . Sir Charles was the presid ing judge at the criminal sessions of the Supreme Court. To provide against contingencies of this nature either the number of members forming the quorum should be reduced, or the council should be enlarged. We hope, however, that ere long the legislative body will be re-constituted, and an ad dition made of members not in the service of Go vernment. The petition from the inhabitants of Madras, praying for a representative government for India, is in course of signature. That from the Calcutta community is still with the committee ap pointed to draft the same at the meeting held in March last. Amongst the events of the fortnight are the loss of the British ship Alma and an accident to the mail steamer Bengal. The former vessel left Calcutta on the 2d instant, bound for the Mauritius. On Sunday the sth, about four o'clock, p.m., soon after parting from the steamtug Maria Stuart, whilst passing through the eastern channel, she struck, and in a short time went down. Some of the passengers and crew were rescued by the Nimrod, which, about the time of the accident reached the Sandheads, and others have since been picked up. Several lives, however, it is feared, have been lost. The Bengal sprung a leak by striking on a rock in the harbour of Galle. The passengers, mail, and baggage were landed, and the steamer Sydney was dispatched from Madras to bring them to Calcutta on the steamer Coromandel. The Bengal arrived in the river on Wednesday afternoon. thermometer has been standing close upon 90 deg. The weather, however, has been very healthy ; and owing to the clear dry air the heat has scarcely been felt. to imports.and goods on the way, there is no possi bility of realising the large profits that were for merly obtained. On the whole, trade bears a healthy aspect, money is plentiful and cheap. All share and funded property is now readily taken at high rates of premium. Credit under the usual caution exer cised by both bankers and merchants is good, with every prospect of its continuance. The yield of our gold fields is daily increasing. The determination our Government to extend railways to the interior, and the prospects of the long desired communica tion with England via Panama being realissed at no distant period, opening up, as it necessarily must do, great facilities for trade with the Ameri can continent, together with other indications of the prosperous state of the colony, suggests to the most prudent and cautious mind that we have bet ter times before us than we have experienced dur ing the past three years, EXCHANGE ON LONDON.—Since the date of our last t.ircular the banks have raised the rate of pre mium 1 per cent., and are now selling at 2 per cent. premium for 60 days' draft. FLOUR AND GRAIN.-Since our last circular there is a marked change in the market for flour. We now £23 to £24 for colonial, and 48s. per barrel for American, at which rates holders are not dis posed to quit stocks, as there is every prospect of a further advance. Wheat is very scarce, and we hear that 10s. 6d. per bushel has been refused for parcels, and that 1 ls. to 11s. 6d. was paid at auc tion on 11th inst. 'Recent imports of oats, both here and Melbourne, have checked the anticipated ad vance in prices. We have no transactions of im portance to report, the principal holders are not in the market. We have abundant supplies of the new crop of maize, which is freely offered at 2s. 9d. per bushel. Freights to London are without alteration—viz., wool unpressed, id. to e-d. per lb. in: full. Hides, 15s. to 17s. per ton. Tallow 20s. to 255. per ton. Cocoa nut oil, 20s. to 255. per tun. Sperm oil, 30s. to 355. per tun. Kauri gum, 20s. per ton. Timber, 18s. to 20s. per load. COMMERCIAL. There has not been much change in the money market during the past fortnight. Accommodations on good securi ties are still procurable from the Bazaar on more favourable terms than at the banks ; but dealers find difficulty in raising funds for the clearance of their purchases. Government se curities have had an upward tendency consequent on a slight improvement at Bombay, and the easy state of the money market, but few bona fide transactions have been re ported. Present quotations are—Fours at 254 to 26 ; Fives, ln to 14 ; and the New 51 per Cent. Loan, 6f to 7 per cent. discount. Exchange on London.—A moderate business has been done in local bank bills at 2s. 01d..t0 2s. ; first-class bills at Old. to 2s. O d. ; and documents at 2s. 91d. to 2s. Op. In exports the produce niarket has shoiT increased animation as regards saltpetre and oil seeds, and the demands, especially for the latter, have been so active that if supplies had not co me % freely the prices would have advanced considerably. Raw silk has been very sparingly' dealt in; stocks of native sorts, both here and in the inte rior, are heavy, and dealers would gladly dispose of them at a considerable reduction. Silk piece goods are little in demand. Sugar has been in limited operation, and is being offered at reduced prices. Rice, of low quality table, has been engaged for Great Britain, but the demand is not general. Jute, lac dye, and shell lac in very limited ope ration. Hides of good quality are scarce, and competed for at extreme prices. In imports mule twist was in a very favourable position at the date of our last report, and prices had slightly gone up ; since last week, however, there has been less disposition to purchase, and prices have again fallen. Coloured yarns, especially Turkey red, are in fair demand. Chintzes of fast colours are in moderate request. Grey shirtings of medium qualities, 6flb. to 71b., in good demand for local requirements. Grey madapollams, stocks almost none, prices slightly improved. Grey jaconets are in fair request. • Grey mulls are scarcely sought for at pre sent. White and figured shirtings are in limited request. White mulls are in very moderate request. The metal market continues inactive. CHINA. The following is from the Overland China Mail of June 4 : After delaying, day by day, longer in Hong Kong than they at first intended, the English and French plenipotentiaries have at last proceeded northwards with the ratified treaties, and it will soon be seen wheth er the Chinese Government is inclined to throw any obstacles in the way relinquish t w h T p o of s t haerier prepareda dvance to to Pekin, reln ehet righter the of emba e s r t s e y i l s * sperma nentont o residen ce believe that that t the capital.British ssoinmed doubt t as to the propriety of relinquishing s wheatlast-men tionedassembalnndou. need e s w m ill th be e before and a la large important nav a I forces privilege. being Gulf of Pecheleo, and both the minister accompanied to Peking by strong body-guards. A report came down here, via Canton, that the members of the Russian embassy at Pekin had all been murdered by the Chinese, but no credit is at tached to this report, it being evidently a mere attempt at intimidation. The latest intelligence of the movements of the Russians is of a less startling, but more probable and important kind. They are said to have made offers to the Imperial Govern ment at Pekin to assist in putting down the rebel lion, and have furnished some hundreds of cannon in return for the territory which was ceded to them on the banks of the Amour. There is a feeling in certain quarters that the Imperial Government should be assisted in putting down the rebels, be cause they devastate the country and apparently interfere with trade; but even for the interests of trade it would be a narrow and short-sighted policy for the foreign Powers to interfere in suppressing insurrection, which is the safeguard of a country, and has been the preservation of China from imme morial times. The rebels' have been making great progress of late in the neighbourhood of Yang-tsze-kiang, and two or three cities east' of the Grand Canal are now in their possession. It is now ascertained that some way up the river from Nankin the Imperialists have been defeated with very heavy loss. Their com mander was compelled to raise the siege of Nankin by the devastating excursions orrebels in its neigh bourhood ; at first the enemy retreated before him, but after he had crossed the river, with bag and baggage, they fell upon his army and defeated it with great slaughter. with great The remains rsrespect eonft andYh e have were e b a e r e e n f ;p ei n e t d u p a f t rCantontrans_ moffii s e s i i a o l n s onorthwards,ftheproviniene,presenceof mdomstnoefhthe respecthih and affection for the dec ease d.

A quarter for foreigners has already been fixed upon by the governor of Nagasaki, at which port several of the principal foreign mercantile houses in China have already got representatives. The American ship Vancouver, from New York, was totally wrecked on the 16th May within a short distance from Shanghae, and only a small portion of her cargo recovered, in a damaged state. The captain and crew were saved. The drought continues in the south of China, and the prospects of the rice crops are very had.

The total export of tea is 56,987,0001 b., against 75,738,8001 b, last season, the decrease being 18,758,8001 b. ; and..the export of silk 70,319 bales, against 60,610 last season, or an increase of 9,709 bales, and the outgoing steamer takes for Southampton, 881 bales. To Marseilles tha , export of silk amounts to 8,428 bales, and the Norna takes nearly 445. The export of tea to he United States amounts to 30,056,7001 b. Soon after our last report there was a cessation of the active demand for shirtings therein noticed. Fancy cotton goods are nearly as before but with less inquiry, and woollens 'continue dull. Metals are rather better. Straits produce generally may be reported as improving. Sugar is falling in price, (!s cargoes from the producing countries in the south are arriving. Rice remains nearly the same ; the wet wea ther is favourable for transplanting, though prejudicial to the wheat crop, now nearly ready for gathering in. EXCHANGE AND BULLION.—A moderate business has been done for this mail in other than bank paper, for which the demand has been'very limited. Rates opened at 6s.

The Avon will sail May 19, with 49,000 oz. and 25,000 sovereigns. The Benares, with the March mail, arrived at Mel bourne May 12. The following is from the summary of the Mel bourne Herald of the 17th : "We have simply to report no change' in poli tical affairs this month. Only a few incidents of the most unimportant and strictly local kind have transpired. For instance, the process of taking the first general registration under the new act has just been carried through its first stage, and with very satisfactory results. The number of claims to vote for the Lower House placed in the hands of the registrars is about 152,000, or very nearly one-half of the entire male population of the colony. The suffrage is an unlimited man hood one, and the claims are collected by persons appointed for the purpose—not voluntarily ten dered. It is clear, then, that our electoral roll is even now in a tolerably complete state. Yet, so persistent is the spirit of agitation amongst certain classes of persons, and so frivolous are sometimes the pretences seized upon to maintain it, that this community has been nearly deafened during the last few weeks with outcries about the failure' of the new Registration Act, and the terrible (but purely imaginary) - consequences which were thence to follow. Nothing less than an impending revo lution and bloodshed were threatened. An impe rative demand was made to the Government for the immediate convening of an extraordinary ses sion of Parliament, in order that the obnoxious act (which was only passed three or four months ago) might be amended or repealed. Of course this demand was flatly refused by the chief Secre tary, and it was next thrust, in a very insolent style, in the face of the governor. His excellency condescended to reason with the deputation who presented it, and actually succeeded in convincing them that the course they were insisting upon would be alike despotic, unconstitutional, and re sultless. The agitation accordingly ended in smoke. _ _ . " Ministers are carrying on the routine of admi nistration with remarkable quietness, but certainly with no increase of their small stock of popularity; rather the reverse. '' Symptoms are constantly breaking out 9f the thoroughly disorganised state of our two rival sys tems of public education. The secretary of th?, Denominational Board, Mr. Colin Campbell, has ..yesigneci_his *..j.; after laving livid it for f.evcral years. All this clearly s ends the consenta neous downfall of the two systems, and their amal gamation into one improved and really national system. " The Government has apointed a board to in quire into the condition of the civil service, with a view to a systematic reform and retrenchment. Both these objects ate undeniably necessary, quite as much so in degree as they are at home ; but, as usual, they have been talked about for years with out the slightest serious action being taken to effect them. We shall hope, however, that some thing will be accomplished by the new commission in the way 'of radical practical reform. " There is no probability of the elections for the new Parliament taking place sooner than August. So that we are looking forward to a continuance of the present uneventful state of things. " Both as regards the amount of gold produce delivered in Melbourne by the Government estcorts and of that exported, the last month compares ml favourably with the corresponding period of 1858, althongh there is an improvement, also in both re spects, in the return for the four weeks of.this year, upon that of the same portion of last year. " The Back Creek continues to maintain a large population—some 30,000 or 35,000 souls. The yield of these diggings is materially prejudiced by the want of water, there being no streams or superficial deposits of any kind within several miles of the leads. The local papers report that tons upon tons of washing stuff have been piled up by the sides of the shafts, 1a readiness for working. The area of this gold field has been greatly extended by the new rushes which are almost every week occurring to localities outlying the main diggings. A recent gration to Kangaroo has relieved the original field of a considerable portion of its popnlati•m, which, as will commonly be found to be the case at new rushes, includes a strong ingredient of the criminal element.' " Another new gold field, which, according to present accounts, bids fair to equal if not to surpass in attractiveness even the Back Creek, has been dis covered in the M'lvor district. The deposits are said to extend over an area of fourteen miles, and most of the claims which have been worked have given a high remuneration to their possessors. The number of miners is small, the rush being indeed only in its earliest infancy ; but, if the reports which are published prove veracious, there will not long exist any cause for complaint as regards po pulation, especially as the sinking is said to be easy and shallow. The Indigo and New Ballarat gold fields, which were very extensively patronised a few months ago, have lately much depreciated in popular estimation, but the Oven men, notwithstanding the unfavourable results of recent operations there, continue to re tain their confidence in the future. The Bo' man's Forest exploration has failed to prove the existence of payable gold deposits in that dis trict, and the yield from the Ovens gold fields at present principally proceeds from the old localities. The miners are doing well at Sebastopol, and quartz crushing has been commenced on the Ovens river with a fair prospect of success. " At Bendigo the alluvial miners are doing better than has been the case for some time. An old lead which was lost about a year ago has been traced and re-opened under most favourable auguries. The quartz claims in this district continue to dis close an almost marvellous degree of richness. In one instance, very recently, 19 tons of quartz rock ; yielded, when crushed, 152 oz. 16 dwts. of gold ; and, in another, 14 tons of stone produced 112 oz. of metal. " With respect to the mining news of the remain ing gold fields, there is little to report this month." SYDNEY COMMERCIAL REPORT. (From Messrs. G. A. Lloyd and Co.'s Circular.) The commercial intelligence per February mail, which 'reached this per Oneida, on the 4th instant, is generally considered favourable for importers, hut owing to its arrival only a few days before the succeeding mail of March was due, the news pro duced no effect on our markets, beyond stopping all business transactions with merchants, excepting for absolute wants, as both buyers and importers deemed it more prudent to await the delivery of the mail, due on the 9th instant, before opening new transactions. Trade during the past month, although not brisk, has been steady and satisfactory, prices obtained for goods generally would leave a small margin for profit ; the continuance of this depends entirely on your operations, our markets are so sensitive that shipments the least in excess of our requirements would immediately cause a reaction ; and it would be well for those trading with our colonies to bear in mind, that with the monthly communication with Europe, and the facilities now offered affording every one the same information as LORD .TOHN RUSSELL AND BARON SCHL.EINITZ. The following despatch of Lord John Russell to Lord Bloomfield, the British Minister at the Court of Berlin, was issued on Saturday with the Parlia mentary papers : "Foreign-office, July 7, 1859. " Count Bernstorff has read me two despatches from Baron Schleinitz—one marked 'very confi dential'—upon the subject of the present aspect of affairs, and upon the policy which Prussia is desir ous, in conjunction with England and Russia, to pursue with regard to the Italian war and its con• se luences. '"fhose despatches were dated respectively the 24th and the 27th of June. " Baron Schleinitz, in the former of these de spatches, alludes to the state of affairs which has induced Prussia to mobilise part of her army. Not only, he says, has the agitation in Germany caused by the advance of the war towards her frontier rendered necessary armaments not disproportioned to those of her neighbours ; but Prussia has consi dered it necessary at once to place herself in a posi tion to control the course of events which might tend to modify the balance of power in Europe, by enfeebling an empire with which Prussia is confe derated, and by effecting the bases of European rights laid down in acts to which Prussia was a party. " Baron Schleinitz observes, however, that the position adopted by Prussia does not prejudge the Italian question, although the interests of Prussia and Germany make it incumbent on the Prince Regent to use the influence which it is his duty' to exert, and prevent his prey aturely sanctioning by a passive attitude territorial modifications affecting a nation which forms an essential portion of the great European family. " But Prussia only wishes to act as she has done before, in concert with England and Rusftia, in order to re-open negotiations in the cause of peace ; and Count Bernstorff is accordingly in• strutted to concert with her Majesty's Govern ment as to the means of attaining this result, and thereby putting an end to the effusion of blood, and of restoring to Europe that calm which her moral and material interests demand. " Baron Schleinitz then observes that, however much Prussia retretted the decision of Austria to proceed to extremities, neither Europe as a whole, nor Germany in particular, could view with indif- ference any step which should tend to enfeeble Austria. "He is far from misapprehending the difficulties created by the events of the war, and he thinks that considerable reform will be required in the ad ministration of affairs in Northern and Central Italy, and that this will be a surer mode of peace fully governing those districts than by the employ ment of the military resources of Austria. , He thinks also that the treaties which bind Austria to exercise a sort of protectorate over certain Italian States may be replaced by a better system. " Thus, while Prussia does not seek to restore a past state of things which may be looked upon as a present impossibility, she will eagerly seize any proposition having for its object an Italian recon struction, which, while acknowledging the rights of Austria, shall, by being founded on illegal prin ciples, conciliate the legitimate wishes of the Italian population. "Prussia further thinks herself entitled to take note of the explicit declaration of the Emperor Napoleon, that he neither covets conquest nor ter ritorial aggrandisement, and this appears to Baron Schleinitz an earnest of the possibility of coming to a common understanding with England and Russia as to the course to be pursued. " Count Bernstorff is then desired to ask for the views of her Majesty's Government upon this sub ject; and the despatch concludes by instructing him not to omit any opportunity of putting forward the idea of a mediation in common (mediation commune). " The despatch of the 27th of June acknowledges the communication which your Lordship was de sired by my despatch of the 22d inst. to make to Baron Schleinitz, and refers to the former despatch of the 24th as having been written previously to that communication, for an exemplification of the views which the Prussian Government is desirous of carrying into effect. " I stated to Count Bernstorff that this commu nication should receive the attentive consideration of her Majesty's Government, but that I wished, ina the first place, to ask the full significance of the terms stop the effusion of blood' and a mediation in common,' namely, whether, if England and Prussia together, or those Powers with Rus sia joined to them, found the proposals which they might make to the belligerents refused, it was meant they should employ force. " His Excellency said that he had no explana tions to offer on that head ; that Prussia could not propose to Austria any alienation of territory, but only reforms and changes in modes of administra tion. He wished, however, to obtain an immediate answer from me; and I said that, pending the de cision of the Cabinet, I could only express my own opinion that the time had not arrived for making any proposition to the belligerents. " Such being the proposition of the Court of Prussia, I have in the first place to desire that you will express to Baron Schleinitz the thanks of her Majesty's Government for the friendly tone and zeal for the welfare of the States of Europe which have inspired this overture. " The efforts made by a Power so enlightened as Prussia to restore peace to the Continent of Europe will always be duly appreciated by her Majesty. " Her Majesty's Government are at once ready to declare that they would hail with joy the mo ment when an equitable proposal for an armistice o r negotiation might be accepted. "But her Majesty's Government think them selves bound in fairness to go further, and meet the friendly proposition of Prussia with equal candour. " It is their opinion that in the present posture of affairs in Italy, no termination of this war can be expected without some cession of territory on the part of Austria. " The Emperor of the French has not contented himself with repelling the Austrian invasion of the territory of his ally ; he has declared it to be his purpose to liberate Italy from the Alps to the Adriatic. This proclamation has been received with transport wherever, in Northern and Central l ltaly, Austrian troops do not exercise a power ,of compression. Milan and the whole of Lombardy, Parma, Modena, and Tuscany have eagerly pro claimed their adherence to the war to which they were thus invited. " Yet, neither have we reason to suppose that the Emperor of Austria is at present prepared to yield his hereditary possessions to any other Sove reign. " Such is the difficulty of the present European crisis. " The great and ancient monarchy of Austria may naturally be slow to acknowledge any defeat ~.
