WIND, S.W. ; light, with very fine weather. A friendly meeting this morning between the emperors IN APOLEON and MRANCIS JOSEPH lip,. been the first result of the five weeks' armistice. It took place at nine o'clock on this henceforth memorable Monday, the 11th of July, 1859, at Villa franca. The incident is to be followed forthwith by the return of the French Emperor to his capital —an occasion doubtless to be celebrated by his triumphal entry into Paris as the conqueror of Solferino. Afterwards will come a tempting op- portunity for the diplomatists of Christendom—an opportunity by duly availing themselves of which they may, if their councils be but wisely directed, transform a few weeks' truce into a permanent pacifi cation. There may now be mooted once more the project of an European Congress for the settlement of the Italian difficulty, by arbitration. And this time it is just within the limits of possibility that the project of such a Congress may at length be actually realised. If so—Sardinia must this time be admitted to the conference. She has won her right to the privilege at the point of the sword and the bayonet, the mouth of the rifle and the cannon. She can no longer be superciliously contemned by the German Princelings as a power in no respect upon a footing of equality with the major, or, even for that matter, with some of the minor divisions of Fatherland. At Montebello, at Magenta, at Malegnane, at Solferino the arms of Piedmont vindicated the right of VICTOR EM- MANUEL to take his place upon a footing of equality, at any rate, in heroism, among the contracting Sovereigns. Ana the conditions upon which this suppositious Congress can alone be brought about with an y hope of its leading to a satisfactory settlement of the Italian Question, and thereby to a secure and permanent Euro pean pacification? Those conditions we know by this time, we should imagine, far and wide throughout the States of Christendom. They have been again and again explicitly stated by the very Potentate whose generalship and valour have swept back the invading armies of Austria from within the boundaries of Sardinia, back across the whole width of Lombardy, back beyond the line of the Mincio, until brought at last desperately to bay in the covert of the Quadrilateral ! Before the war had been commenced by the lawless invasion of the Austrian troops into Piedmont, the preliminary conditions for the solution of the great political problem of Italian independence had been indicated plainly and unmistakeably by the Ruler of the French—now apparently destined also to be the Liberator of the Italians. Those essential conditions have, since the war was thus begun, been reiterated, in clear and trumpet tones, in the Em peror NAPOLEON'S Milan Proclamation. The very dating of that proclamation from " Milan" was an in timation that the liberation of Northern Italy was already more than half accomplished. Subsequently to which period every step taken by the Allies has been a step taken in advance, until, as we have seen, and as we have said, the German foe, succes sively taartialled by GYULAI, and SCIILICK, , and HESS, and , eventually by the KAISER himself, were driven ba ck at a rush across the Mincio, and brought 'to bay (we repeat it), were literally brought Ito bay at last, in a position of absolute deepest ion, in the Quadrilateral !

MONDAY, JULY 11, 1859. surrounded by overwhelming numbers, and Venice, the fairy-like floating city of the Adriatic, was menaced with all the horrors of a formidable, and, it might be added, as irresistible bombardment — then with his heel upon the neck of the prostrate foe, NAPOLEON 111. concedes to FRANCIS JOSEPH these five weeks' armistice. Considering that hitherto the advantage has been entirely on the side of the Allies throughout the whole of this rapid and masterly campaign—it is not probable, we might even go so far as to add, it is not possible, it does not stand to reason, that the conditions de manded by the Victor should be now voluntarily diminished in any way under these, to him, extra ordinarily advantageous and auspicious circum stances. Those conditions, then, are worth re verting to, as they were sketched out in the Paris Manifesto before the Emperor had quitted his capital for the seat of war, there to take the command-in-chief of the allied armies— and as they have been since, if possible, more ex plicitly reiterated, as before observed, in his famous Milan Proclamation. They are simple enough, these preliminaries of a pacification. In the first place, they require that Northern Italy shall be swept clear of the Austrians—from the Alps to the Adriatic. That is essential just to begin with. In the next place, the whole of the great Powers of Europe are to combine in solemn conclave to re organise afresh—de novo and ab initio—the whole of the political arrangement of the Roman Penin sula. Foreign troops are to be then withdrawn altogether from her territory. NAPOLEON 111., with all his marshals, and with the whole of his gigantic army, is to return to his dominions. The glory of Italian emancipa pation is to be the reward of France—a re ward far beyond any possible amount of territorial aggrandisement. The Sardinian monarch alone will—as he well deserves —have considerably ex tended the boundaries of his dominions. The other legitimate powers of Italy will be placed respec tively upon a footing of perfect independence— their Governments being either entirely remodelled or thoroughly reorganised. These are the broad outlines of the obvious and notorious conditions of this earnestly and eagerly-wished-for pacifica tion. There is another opportunity for the diplomatists of Europe at least attempting this most desirable solution of the difficulty within these five weeks marked out as the interval of the armistice—before the arrival of the term of the truce—the 15th of August—the fete Napoleon ! Rejoiced from our inmost heart should we be if the great work of Italian Liberation, already so heroically commenced, might only thus pacifically and gloriously be consummated ! The unexpected armistice will now afford Austria some time for wholesome reflection on the evils of war, and its concomitant effects on the national resources, both with respect to present financial necessities, and prospectively as to her. credit both at home and abroad. With regard to the first, such has been the suicidal policy of the Austrian Chancery that the forced contributions at home have materially re-acted on its forlorn credit abroad. When a man ceases to be honest to his own imme diate friends, he thereby proclaims to others to be on their guard; and so it will be with nations as with individuals—they must succumb to the effects of their own misconduct and untrustworthiness. Scarcely had the war of aggression burst forth on Piedmont, when Austria, great and unscrupulous in her rapacious career on tho helpless subjects of VICTOR EMMANUEL conceived the kindred idea of robbing her own Italian subjects by the forced issue of paper money throughout the Lom bardo-Venetian territory, then groaning under her relentless tyranny. The people were oraerea to take her paper, with the intimation that it would not be received for war, or in payment of any other, taxes ! No ; Austria knew the value of her own credit too well to give and take on equivalent terms. The poor people were condemned to pay all taxes in money, not in paper, and any refusal was to be visited with confiscation and all the horrors of a state of siege. This was a precious beginning, before a shot had actually been fired. That there was gloom spread over the land in addition to its other miseries may well be imagined : in fact, the greatest objection was manifested by the Italians, not generally, but universally. Who would give his produce and his labour for apparently no return in actual value ? for the Austrian paper was not marketable, nor, indeed, was it intended to be. The German oppressor stamped the paper as worthless at its issue, so that it actually became a forced loan. It was a gratuitous insult to common sense, much after the fashion of gamblers at pitch and toss, " Heads, I win ; tails, you lose !" On this point we find the following in the Derbyshire Courier: " The Austrian Government has decided, it is said, on the issue of fresh Bank paper in the Lombardo- Venetian territory. This Bank paper money must be accepted, and is not receivable for taxes. This is neither more nor less than a system of legalised plunder. The issue of paper money which the state which issues it will not receive back for taxes is as foolish as it is wicked. It is foolish, for its imme diate effect is to throw discredit on the paper money, and to cause its depreciation. It is wicked, for it violates all contracts, and causes incalculable injury to trade and industry. What would be thought of our Government if it were to issue out Postage Stamps, and then refuse to take back such stamps in discharge of postage, except at a heavy discount ? The Austrians are not making use of Paper Money : they are committing a profligate abuse of this valuable circulating medium." But the race is not always to the swift, nor the battle to the strong. And so it has providentially happened to the Italians, even at the moment of their imminent calamity. The splendid and rapid successes of the French and Piedmontese armies so completely paralysed the Austrians, that they were even fain to run for it, leaving their paper kites to fly after them ! Italy became, as if by magic, one fervent blaze of enthusiastic rebellion against the foreign oppressor, and repaid his insolvent paper by the vindictive bullet, and the keen blade of patri otic scorn ! Nor is this all :—Austria is now in a fair way not to turn her worthless paper to a pro fitable account, but to lose the land so cruelly pressed down by her san g uinary savages. Nor is there any hope for her by negotiation, for what right has she beyond the Alps ? The force of treaties, we may be told. Treaties, indeed ! Granted by whom ? Guaranteed by ? Why, by herself and her congenial spoilers—a band of Crowned. Robbers, who had privately sworn to break every promise and every sacred stipulation at the very first opportunity, and they have done it ! And we are to be told that because England, or rather her bribed Representatives, gave their (we hope unwil ling) consent to such villanous documents, that therefore we ought to abide by the faith of treaties ! We really pity the self-complacency of some noble lords who stood up in their places in Parliament and advocated the support of such treaties—treaties perpetrated while the blood of millions at the criedout for vengeance. But Austria , who grasped fairest portion of the spoil , has now stepped for ward and destroyed the sad illusion, by tearing those records of her guilt into shreds, thereby realising the proverb, that when certain gentlemen THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, JULY 11, 1859, LATEST NEWS. THE ARMISTICE. The following telegrams have been received at Mr. Reuter's office : VIENNA, JULY 10. The Austrian Correspondence contains the fol- [owing:— According to official news from Verona, an interview between the Emperor Napoleon and the Emperor of Austria will, in consequence of a desire expressed by the Emperor Napoleon, take place at Villafranca at 9 o'clock a.m. to-morrow, the 11th instant. FRANKFORT 0.M., SATURDAY. The Oberpostamts Zeitung contains the following despatch direct from Verona, dated the Bth July : At the repeated request of the French, and after their consent had been obtained to all the conditions we have asked, an armistice has been concluded. PARIS, JULY 11. The Moniteur of to-day explains under what circumstances the armistice has taken place. The great neutral powers exchanged communications with the object of offering their mediation to the belligerent parties, whose first act was to be an armistice, but the endeavour to bring about this result was not successful until some days ago, when our fleet was about to begin hostilities against Venice, and a new conflict before Verona was im minent. The Emperor, faithful to his sentiments of mode ration, and anxious to prevent useless effusion of blood, did not hesitate to assure himself whether the disposition of the Emperor of Austria was con formable to his own. It was a sacred duty for the two Emperors immediately to suspend hostilities which the mediation could render objectless. The Emperor of Austria having shown similar intentions the armistice was concluded. On Monday the 11th inst. an interview between the two Emperors will take place at Villafranca. The Moniteur also publishes the order of the day contained in the message from Turin of yester day. TURIN, JULY 10. The Emperor has issued the following order of :he day : VALEGGIO, July 10. Soldiers !—An Armistice has been concluded on the Bth inst. between the belligerent parties, to extend to the 15th of August next. This truce will permit you to rest after your glorious labours, and to recover, if necessary, new strength to con tinue the work which you have so gloriously inau gurated by your courage and devotion. I am about to return to Paris, and shall leave the pro visional command of my army to Marshal 'Valliant ; but as soon as the hour of combat will have struck, you will see me again in your midst to partake of your dangers. VIENNA, JULY 10 The Austrian Correspondence publishes an offi cial account of the battle on the 24th June, accord ing to which the total number of the loss is as follows : Killed-91 officers, 2,261 privates. Wounded-4 generals, 485 officers, and 10,160 privates. Missing-59 officers, 9,229 privates. Of those missing are to be deducted nine corps, which have marched back to the different bodies to which they had belonged. PARIS, JULY 10. Letters from Rome to the sth inst. affirm that four English vessels have entered the port of Ancona. Letters from Naples state that Filangieri had given in his resignation, but the King had decided upon his resumption of the Presidency of the Council. His Majesty, in concert with M. Filangieri, had adopted the basis for important measures. NAPLES, JULY 8, 200 so ldi e rs, 50 of whom were Swiss, revolted yesterday evening, and left the fort Carmius for the purpose of rousing the other troops to revolt, in which attempt, however, they failed. On their arrival at the Champ de Mars all the Swiss and native troops, who remained faithful, met them with a discharge of artillery. Forty of the insur gents were killed, and the rest disarmed. The town is tranquil. ' TURIN, JULY 9. Count Cavour left at four o'clock to-day for the head-quarters of the allied armies. BOLOGNA, JULY 6 The Junta and Government have appointed General Mezzacappa Commander-in-Chief of all the regular troops of Bologna and the united provinces. The first column of the second Corps d'armee of Central Italy entered Bologna yesterday amid the enthusiastic acclamations of the population. A Piedmontese battalion is expected to-day. VERONA, JULY 6, Notwithstanding that the news of M. de Pour tales' departure from Berlin after his return to that town from Paris has been denied, the Gazetta di Verona of to-day announces, under date of the 29th ult., the arrival of the Prussian Ambassador (Count de Pourtales) at the Austrian head-quarters. Fifty-eight of the enemy's vessels are at Lussin, two of. which are Sardinian. An English three masted transport is also there. TRIESTE, JULY 9, The French squadron left Lussin yesterday, and sailed towards Pola. A liner which had approached the shore at Veruda was fired on by a coast battery, and probably injured. AUSTRIA. (From the Correspondent of the Times.) VIENNA, JULY 8, The day before yesterday Genral Fleury arrived at Verona, where he had a long interview with the Emperor Francis Joseph. It was at first believed that the French General had come to settle the con ditions on which the prisoners were to be exchanged, but it soon became known that there was a question of a truce or—to use the word employed by my informant—of an armistice. The audience granted to General Fleury was a private one ; but still it yesterday transpired at head-quarters that hostili- ties were, for atime, to be suspended. In well-informed political circles it is said that the British Government brought ab3ut the tempo rary cessation of hostilities by persuading the Em peror of the French to make propositions to the Austrian Government, which, if accepted, might serve as a basis for peace. It appears that there is a question of making Lombardy and Venice an in dependent kingdom under an Austrian Archduke, but two of the parties concerned are sure to object to such an arrangement. Victor Emmanuel evi dently considers Lombardy an integral part of his kingdom, and the Emperor of Austria is not the man voluntarily to cede two of the finest fall out honest people get their own. And the Italians will now recover their own fair land, so long contaminated by the footstep of the oppressor. The Lords and Church-rates—a pleasant episode. Last year the abolitionists pushed forward for the first time their advanced posts into the Upper House ; there, of course, they encountered the main body of Ecclesiastical Austrians—and had to fall back again upon the liberating army in the House below. In that House the old leader, Sir JOHN TRELAWNY, has again begun his march, and the Lords, foreseeing the speedy approach, a second time, of the enemy, are this time strengthening their defences and taking measures to ensure a successful resistance. We like the look of this ; it betokens at least distrust of undisciplined bigotry. Something more is felt to be necessary than mere stolid resistance. The dash of the abo litionists, with the reserves of the country and the press to back them, may, it is feared, prove too much even for noble lords backed by spiritual lords. Last year it was enough to say non-content ; this year the non-contents want the report of a select committee to enable them to say so without blush ing. This is beyond doubt a point gained. The select committee is the trophy erected by the lords themselves to the strength of the Abolitionists. The latter of course behold it with pleasure. It will give them a definite point of attack ; a little more trouble perhaps to storm it, but the very battle is a pleasure when one party rushes to the charge in the name of religious liberty, and flushed with splendid victories in the House of Commons and the other timorously cowers behind its sand- bags and begs for eleemosynary mercy on behalf of the wealthiest Church in Christendom. Two of these beggars of Monday last are in receipt of at least one £15,000, and the other £lO,OOO a-year from the Church for which they beg ! The Low Church seems just for the moment to occupy the post of honour. The Duke of MARLBOROUGH is highly honoured in its breviary, indeed we believe that he and Lord SHAFTESBURY are bracketed as its patron saints ; and on this occasion Churchmen prayed to him with much better success than the countryman had with HERCULES. The Duke of MARLBOROUGH, indeed, can sympathise with the poor country parishes, on whose behalf the Archbishop, and our metropolitan, " begged the favourable consideration of noble lords." When in the lower house, he essayed in vain to represent the populous constituency of Middlesex, where Church-rates are abolished without mercy, and was obliged to content himself with the rural constituency of Woodstock. We do not say Woodstock borough, because, it consists of thirteen of those devout little villages which pay Church-rates without grumbling, because in each the clgrgTman and the duke are the gods they worship—at least in matters ecclesiastical. And the Duke's plaintive pleadings in the Lords indi cated a tender interest in things as they are in Blenheim Park, and in the twelve other hamlets which formerly enabled him to edify the Lower House. Of course the Duke is to have his select com mittee. Lord GRANVILLE knew and said that it was superfluous, but also knew it was useless to re sist an archbishop, a bishop, and their patron saint or lord in their own house. So the select committee will sit—will prove to the satisfaction of every bishop who sees things only with episcopal spec tacles, and of every old lord who sees things through the recollections of the good old times, when Church and King was the patriotic toast, that Church-rates are essential to the support of the Established Church ; that the Established Church a occontial to the arictPnrp of a House of Lords; that a House of Lords is essential to the existence of the Throne itself; therefore to the existence of the English Constitution—indeed of England itself—Q.E.D. To glance at the speeches of the four or five right rev, and noble speakers, seems like going from the light of day into the twilight of some old cathedral. If we do not, all of us, know all about church-rates, we should like to know what we do understand. The subject has been discussed ever since we had a reformed Parliament. And, not only that, but we have all had to do with the thing itself. It is, like the Ballot, a people's question, on which the people have far more practical knowledge than their lordships. We have all had to pay church•rates, or to vote, where we are strong enough, that they shall be paid no more. What do per centages of parishes such as the thirteen that could not muster alto gether 350 electors to elect Lord BLANDFORD (the Duke of MARLBOROUGH)—what do per cen tages of such petty parishes concern us? They must require but very small churches, and it is strange indeed if they cannot keep such as they have wind and weather tight. Some parishes in Cumberland—exclaimed our wealthy diocesan — what would they do without church-rates ? Why, in all probability, much better than we do.here in so many London parishes. They would meet easily their own small wants, and when anything required special help would appeal to the gentry of the dis trict, would use the county Gazette as clergymen here use the metropolitan press, and would find it the easiest thing in the world to get a long list of subscriptions from the Sir JOHNS and Sir HARRYS with their £lOO or 150, down to the shopkeeper with his guinea. And, what is really the best part of the business, these subscribers would feel an interect in what they contributed for voluntarily, while of those who pay rates one-half care nothing the more for the church they must repair, and the other half hate it, not for the amount they pay, but because they are forced to pay it. The Bishop of LONDON, indeed, told us that he thought the fallacy of the voluntary system had been long exploded. But what says the noble lord, the late Secretary for India, who lives amongst men and things—why, that this exploded "voluntary system, whether we like it or not, is certain to be the creed of the next generation, and that he voted for Church-rate Abolition as a desirable preparatory discipline for it." We believe, watching as we have to do the progress of public opinion, that the Lord is nearer the truth than the Bishop. One legal fact seemed to annoy the patrons of Church-rates a good deal—that Dissenters are Churchmen, in the sense of having as much legal power over, and in, the Church, as if they did not dissent ; that while it is a national Church, sup ported by national property, they have a voice in its administration, and a claim upon its funds as much as those who worship at the national churches. From this humbling view of their case, however, Church men have not and cannot have auy escape. If they accept the golden honours of State support, they must accept with them the humiliation of being servants of the State—and, as Dissenters are a part of the State, of being so far servants of Dissenters ! We cannot assist the Duke out of this perplexity _we can only remind him that to the extent to which the Church pays its own expenses it is morally, at least, a free Church. The Right Honourable C. P. Villiers, President of the Poor-law Board, has appointed Mr. J. Thornely as his private secretary. and richest provinces in the empire either to his brother or to any other member of his family. My private opinion in respect to the recent doings at Verona is, that the Emperor of the French - v ishes to come to an understanding with his brother monarch without the interference of the neutral Powers. Austria is in a humour to conclude peace with France, because she is disgusted with the " shorted-sighted and selfish" policy of Engl E%nd, and it would not surprise me to learn from Verona that the two Emperors had met and settled "between them the preliminaries of peace. Before France and Austria come to an understanding, the latter will not fail to make conditions in favour of her South-German friends, but she will hardly think herself bound to do as much for :Prussia. Austria is an exceedingly revengeful Power. and consequently not likely to forget that the Bri tish and Prussian Governments might, had they been inclined to do so, have prevented the outbreak of the war. In order that the sense of the foregoing sentence may be properly understood, it must be stated, that all Austrian statesmen firmly believe that the Emperor Napoleon would not have sent troops into Italy if England and Prussia had plainly told him that his doing so would infallibly lead to serious complications.

INDIA AND CHINA. We have received, by extraordinary express, in anticipation of the Overland Mail, our letters and papers from Calcutta to June 3 ; and Hong Kong to May 21. The following is from the Bengal Hurkaru of June 3 : Since the publication of our last summary we have heard that a mutinous spirit exhibited itself amongst the ex-Company's European troops at Gwalior on the 10th, and at Lahore on the 11th of May. A correspondent of a morning contemporary states that at the former station, when the bugle sounded for parade only 10 non-commissioned officers turned out ; and letters in other journals confirm the statement. Major Light, however, who com mands the Bengal Artillery at Gwalior, denies the truth of the report. He reports that the men never 'disobeyed an order, nor refused to parade—admitting, however, that some of the men had petitioned " against what they considered an infringement of their rights as British subjects." At Lahore, a few men of the Horse Artillery re fused to return out to parade. This led to a Court of Enquiry, from which it appeared that of Colonel Bourchier's troop 32 men were satisfied, and 39 considered they were entitled either to their dis charge, or to a fresh bounty ; of Blunt's troop, 44 were staunch, the remainder, all of whom are re cruits, were malcontents. With the exception of two men, lately transferred to the regiment, the Foot Artillery were willing to serve the Queen. At Meerut and Allahabad, the Courts of Enquiry are still sitting. At the latter station the Cavalry were examined through delegates, four from each troop, hut an order arrived from the Commander in-Chief, directing that every man should be heard. The men of one troop had no complaints to make. The objection raised by the Artillery are that, although willing to serve the Queen, they had been transferred without being consulted, and that their right to re enlistment had been ignored. The cavalry claimed their discharge as a right, and looked upon them selves since the termination of the Company's regime as " civilians in arms." Some of the men said they might accept a fresh bounty, while others declared they would not serve again. Another complaint is the unequal treatment of the Queen's and Company's troops with regard to batta. In Lower Bengal the latter receives only half batta, whilst the former get the full amount. At Delhi there have been no signs of insubordi nation. In the early part of May several days were occupied in rural sports, and the best spirit mani festly prevailed. From a letter in a Bombay contemporary, it ap pears that dissatisfaction exists amongst the Com pany's troops in that Presidency, but they have not resorted to such extreme measures as the Bengal Artillery. At Sepree, two companies of the 3d European Regiment have drawn up a petition to the. Houses of Parliament, setting forth their grievances. The rebel force is gradually diminishing. On the 12th of May, a " party from Major Vaughan's force, with some of the military police, attacked a body of the rebels, 400 strong, and defeated them at Rajpore." On the 18th " Rajah Jodh Singh, of Churda, with 100 followers, surrendered to Major Vaughan at Sedonia Ghat ;" and on the same day three other parties gave themselves up. Seon Bun Khan, with 150 men ; Abdool Wallee, with 150 followers, and, at Bhinja, 35 rebels, with horses and one elephant. On the 23d Sir Hope Grant, with the 7th Punjaub Infantry, attacked the rebel force, which, under the Nana and Bala Rao, were strongly posted in the Idowah Pass, with two guns in posi tion. " The heights on both sides were crowned, and the enemy driven from their guns, which were taken with trifling loss. A number of the enemy was killed." Thus far from official information. From other sources, we learn that since the rebels have return ad to their old quarters in the SoonarValley 800 deaths have occurred from disease and the climate. Bukht Khan, the famous commander-in-chief at D e lhi, who formerly belonged to the Bareilly Battery at Bareilly, was killed the other day in a scrimmage. Tufussul Husein, the ex-Nawab of Furruckabad, is now on his way to Calcutta. He is in irons, and strongly guarded. The Governor General regards both the opinions and the feelings of the public with the utmost in difference. To the many instances of this that have been manifest during the past three years, we have now to record another act—the disbanding of the Calcutta Volunteer Guards. From the Ist inst. their services were dispensed with. COMMERCIAL. Our last was the 17th ultimo, and we have since received commercial intelligence from home to the latest date, the 3d of May. EXPORTS.-Our produce market has assumed a more favourable turn since the last mail. Corahs have been in active request for Great Britain, at fully former prices. Sugar, date Gurpatta and Dulloab, has been purchased to a fair extent, at some , .7hat better prices. Saltpetre has lately engaged active inquiry for Europe, at an advance of fully one rupee per mound. Rice has just commenced to draw the attention of English buyers, at rather better prices. Linseed has also engaged attention. Jute has been in better inquiry, at steady prices. Raw silk has been in limited operation. Hides are in good demand, but scarce. IMPORTS.—This is the dullest season of the year for all sorts of piece goods, and the continued tightness of money during the last fortnight has caused an additional check to business. The money market has continued easy, and although some tightness still exists in the bazaar amongst the dealers, accommodations are readily obtainable from Eng- lish houses, or good securities, at a half per cent. below the rates of the Bank. No alteration has taken place in the rates of the Bank of Bengal since our last. Government Securities have fallen since the disturbed state of affairs on the Continent ; and sales of 5 per cent. paper have taken place at 14-8 to 15 per cent, discount. They are less sought for at present, and there is a down ward tendency in rates. EPCHANGE ON LONDON.—A fair amount of business has been done for this mail in Local Bank Bills, at 2s. Oid. to 2s. °did., and first class credits at 2s. Ind. to 2s. 0/d. In documents little has been done at 2s. lid. A considerable amount of China drawn bills has just arrived, and is selling at 2s. Oid. to 2s. Op. CHINA. The following is from the China Mail of May Already a movement has been made northward from this by some of the plenipotentiaries, and the others will follow immediately. Mr. Ward, the American Minister, left for Shanghae and the Gulf of Pechellee on the 17th instant, in the United States steamer Powhattan. accompanied by the Toey wan, a coasting steamer, which has been char tered by the American Government. Mr. Alcock, formerly Consul at Canton, has also left for Japan, with a eopy of the ratified treaty with that coun try, and in order to assume his functions as Consul General. The Hon. Mr. Bruce goes north in the Magicienne on Monday or Tuesday next, and a large force pro ceeds with him to the Gulf of Pechellee, lest any obstacles should be thrown in the way of his pro gress to Pekin with the ratified treaty. It is not likely that objections to his visit will be raised, because by obtaining the relinquishment of the Bri- tish mission at Pekin, the Russians and Mandarins have already got rid of the most important stipula tion of our new treaty with China. It is said that a noted American, lately resident in this place,was once appointed American Minister to Britain ; but before he received the offer of the appointment, he had to hand in a letter formally declining it. We can not believe that the British mission at Pekin was granted by the new treaty, on the understanding that it would be relinquished, and simply to give eclat to that treaty and to the diplomatist who has earned so much fame by it ; but it is evident that such a supposition will arise in the minds of many persons unless some explanation be given. It is well known that the Chinese, backed by the Rus sians, the French approving, have obstinately op posed a resident British mission at Pekin. The ostensible ground on which the mission has been relinquished is, that Pekin would be an undesirable residence during the winter months for a plenipo tentiary who has to superintend the consulates and trade. But there was no need for the plenipoten- tiary remaining all the year at Pekin. The Russian mission at Pekin is now placed on a permanent footing, and a regular communication is now esta blished between Pekin and Kiachta in Siberia. Our Shan ghae correspondent notices a report that the Chinese authorities are also determined to oppose the admission of English travellers into the interior of the country. Both the Chinese and the own authorities have been making preparations for a misunderstanding, should such unhappily occur. At Pekin, the tampering with the papers given in at the literary examinations continues to give trouble, and some more mandarins have been punished on that account. Everywhere over China there has been a great want of rain this season, and serious distress is apprehended in consequence. At the capital and its neighbourhood the drought has been so great that the Emperor has in person gone to pray for his kingdom in the temple of the Black Dragon. The rebels in the north and the south have been progressing of late. In Kwang-Tang they are said to threaten even Hwang, the Governor-General ; and on the Yangtsze, the Imperialist troops raised the siege of Nankin, and proceeded against some rebels further up the river, only to meet with defeat and the loss of their followers and guns. The Governor of Macao has received instructions from Lisbon to form, if possible, a treaty between Portugal and China, and also a treaty with Japan. In order to effect these purposes he goes soon to Shanghai, and from thence will pass over to Japan. The complaints of the Chinese, in regard to the kid napping of coolies for the Havannah, have somewhat abated, and the stringency with which the Macao regulations for the control of the traffic have been carried out, has resulted in the worst portion of it beingremoved to the Canton river, where the vessels can receive collies very much as they please. A small steamer, chartered by the Chinese, on its way from Macao up the West 'River, was lately seized by some of the passengers on board, while others were robbed of all their wealth. Some of the perpetrators of this outrage hive, however, been discovered in Macao, and handed over to the Chinese authorities. A large expedition, composed of several gu7 boats and a transport steamer, with a body of-ma rines on board, has gone up the Broadway on a visit to the town of Heang-shan, from whence most of our servants come. There was some expectation of a fight up at that place ; for though the man darins were ready to receive it in, a friendly man ner, the rabble were incensed, and had destroyed the preparations being made for the honourable re ception of the visitors. COMMERCIAL. SHANGHAI, MAY 14. IMPORTS.—The improvement is our import market, noticed in our last report, has been maintained during the last fortnight, and large sales of cotton manufactures have again been made, at a further advance in prices. EXPORTS. TEA.---Transactions since the last mail left have been on a small scale, being about 3,000 chests of black, and 4,000 to 5,000 packages of green. SILK.—The season is now drawing to a close, and the market has been cleared of desirable parcels; few Tsatlees remain, and of the Taysaams and throwns, of which the unsold stock principally consists, the bulk is very coarse and inferior ; the quotations must, therefore, be con sidered almost nominal, as the different grades are not well defined where all are low. Since the last mail left there have been about 2,000 bale , settled, and the quantity on hand in Shanghai is placed at 1,000 to 1,500 bales. There are, as usual at this season, favourable re p or t s o f t h e new crop ; of quantity nothing is said. The weather has been auspicious for the mulberry plant, and if the worms are healthy, and their silk good, abundance will unquestionably follow. EXCHANGE AND BULLION. —Transactions in sterling have been on a moderate scale for this mail. FREIGHTS.—To London and Liverpool : £2 to £2 10s. for tea : £4 for silk, per ton of 50 feet. To New York : 5 dols. to 6 dols. for tea, 15 dols. for silk, per ton of 40 cubic feet. THE AFRICAN MAIL. LIVERPOOL, SUNDAY.

On Saturday evening a very fine performance of Mer candante's ~ Il Gi u ramento" was given at th e a b ove th ea t re , the pr i n cipal characters being sustained w ith th e best possible effect by Madame Grisi, Madame Nantier Didthle, and Signor Mario. The house was densely crowded, and the opera received throughout with great favour. On a future occasion we hope to enter more fully into the very remarkable merits of this highly interesting representation of the chef-cPceuvre of Italy's modern " classic," THIS ETS. CORN EXCHANGE. Nearly the whole of the country markets held on Satur day were but moderately supplied with wheat; neverthe less all kinds were very dull, and sales could only be effected at drooping currencies. There was very little in quiry for spring corn, at barely previous rates. In flour neat to nothing was doing. Throughout the continent wheat has slightly receded in price, and in the United States wheat and flour continue to decline. The arrivals of English grain up to our market last week were only moderate. From abroad we received 11,773 qrs. of wheat, 4,755 barley, 12,864 oats, 202 beans, 5,105 linseed, 18,409 rapeseed, and 1,415 sacks of flour. The arrivals of English wheat, fresh up to-day, were very limited, but we had the bulk of last week's supply on offer , consequently the show of samples was good. For all kinds the demand was heavy in the extreme, and prices were 4s. to ss. per quarter lower than on Monday last. The accounts at hand respecting the crops are very favourable. The cutting of wheat will be commenced on Monday next, and several patches of oats have been cut in Essex and Kent this morning. We were heavily supplied with most kinds of foreign wheat. Scarcely a transaction took place in any descrip tion, and to have forced sales, 3s to 4s per quarter less money must have been accepted by the holders. Barley—though in very moderate supply—moved cff heavily at late rates. There was scarcely any demand for oats, and prices gave way quite 6d per quarter. The inquiry for beans was much restricted at about late rates. —____ Peas.were heavy, at nominal quotations. The supply was unusually small. For all kinds of flour there was very little inquiry on easier terms. Floating cargoes of grain off Falmouth were very dull. CURRENCY PER IMPERIAL MEASURE.

Fresh up from our own grazing districts the receipts of beasts were very moderate for the time of year; neverthe less, owing chiefly to the prevailing hot weather, the de mand for all breeds ruled inactive, at prices about equal to those realised on this day se'nnight. The general top figure for beef was 4s 6d; but very prime Scots and crosses realised 4s 8d per 8 lb. From Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northampton shire we received about 1,100 short-horns and crosses; from Norfolk, Suffolk, and Cambridgeshire 900 Scots, short horns, and crosses; from other parts of England 200 of various breeds ; from Scotland 300 Scots and crosses ; and from Ireland 100 oxen, &c. We were again well supplied with sheep, most kinds of which came to hand in fair condition. The mutton trade was somewhat inactive at last week's currency. The best old Downs realised 4s 10d per 8 lb. The show of lambs was tolerably good, and the trade was inactive at previous quotations, viz., from 4s 8d to 60 per 8 lb. There was a slow inquiry for calves at last week's cur' rency. The supply was only moderate. In pigs scarcely any business was passing, on former terms. Per 81bs. to sink the offal. s. d. s. d.
