WIND, North-Westerly; light, with fine cool weather THE SUN. TUESDAY. FEBRUARY 1, 1859. Austria now regards England with peculiar favour ; and, as a mark of its special benevolence, is willing to accept the nice little sum of £6,000,000 sterling—say six millions—at the hands of the gentlemen of the Stock Exchange. Some years since it was threatened that they would be excluded from any participation in the loan then about to be contracted, and some accordingly were hooked, for there is nothing so tempting to a party whose " money burns in his pocket," as the affectation of indifference—a little well-acted coyness on the part of the really eager would-be borrower. The result was, that a large amount of English gold was trans mitted to Vienna, which doubtless had some effect in producing the subsequent derangement in our own money market. It was one at least of many co-operating causes, for it was clearly proved that our " good friend and ally," who displayed such chivalrous and daring gallantry (!) and disinte rested generosity (!) during the war in the Crimea, was largely increasing the stock of precious metals in the Bank of Vienna at our expense. The kindness of Austria does not, however, appear to be duly appreciated in Lombard-street or Capel-court. The capitalists of the former steadily button up their pockets and display an unequivocal determination not to part with their money without being thoroughly satisfied as to the nature and validity of the proposed securities ; while, mirabile dictu, even the jobbers refuse to make a price" or establish a quotation, save at so wide a margin as to effectually prohibit any, even nominal, transactions. Austrian stocks were never looked on as very favourite investments, even when there were no clouds lowering in the political atmosphere; and although the dealers are not very scrupulous, provided they can realise a handsome profit, that is a matter that touches them in the most tender point. They do not, in fact, see their way sufficiently clearly to speculate in the new busi ness, and will not, therefore, accept it at any price, or engage in it on any terms. There are other grounds higher than mere pecu niary considerations which should induce every conscientious capitalist to abstain from intermed dling i n the affair. It may, by providing Austria with the sinews of war, lead to a sanguinary and expensive war, that would reduce the stocks and funds of every European Government to a far greater extent than the losses occasioned by the reckless address of Louls NAPOLEON, or the better-considered, but no less dan gerous, speech of VICTOR EMMANUEL and the accom plished sacrifice of the ' poor little Princess CLOTILDE. The advance of £6,000,000 may lead to further losses, amountin g to t wi ce the amount ten times:told. It is manifast. that Austria must nuke important concessions if the loan be rejected. She must give additional privilege s t o the Lombardo -Venetians at all events, and probably to others of " the oppressed Nationalities," and those lending her money under the circumstances would not only haw the guilt of bloodshed on their • , • V.l) - 4 'is A A*, _14.0 IT ";;;;‘•• bit, souls, but would aid and assist in revetting the chains of despotism on the suffering peoples, and prevent them from 'obtaining the ameliorations in their condition which they have now some reason to anticipate. It is certainly said that Austria had intended raising the money in the latter end of December, and that the avowed object was to pay off £5,000,000 ; but can any one for a moment suppose that if the money were paid into the Imperial Exchequer and was required for State purposes, that any such intention would be fulfilled " Credat Judeaus apella non ego," or, to use our own vulgar phrase, " that story must be told to the marines." Besides, Austria already owes two hundred mil- lions of pounds, and her revenue is derived from .scattered territories, that may at any time be cut off, and a large proportion of her income lost. She must maintain an expensive army; and, inasmuch as she has been unable to pay her way in time of profound peace and under the most favourable c ircumstances, it is scarcely probable that the most confiding capitalist will be disposed to assist her in increasing the burden, which is more than she can at present sustain. The Statesman who expired on Friday at his residence, on Putney-heath, although once upon a time, as Premier of England, the chief ruler of the mightiest empire upon this globe, had long sunk into obscurity, and was literally either utterly unknown to, or forgotten by, the present genera tion, yet very little more than thirty years have really elapsed since the date when he held this supreme post in the land as First Lord of the Treasury. The Right Hon. FREDERICK JOHN ROBINSON, created in 1827 Viscount GODERICH, and in 1833 Earl of RIPON, was born more than eighty-six years ago—the second son of THOMAS, second Baron GRANTHAM, of Grantham, in Lincolnshire. The late Earl of RIPON'S elder brother (who was created Earl DE GREY as far back as 1816) still survives at the advanced age of eighty-seven. The noble lord, hitherto popularly known by his courtesy title as Viscount GODERICH, M.P. for Huddersfield, was, until last week, heir to two earldoms, to that of DE GREY as heir presumptive, to that of RIPON as heir apparent. To the latter he has now succeeded upon the death of a father who was formerly as much overrated by his fellow-citizens as he has during the last twenty or thirty years been unde servedly depreciated. As a Prime Minister the de ceased nobleman was notoriously a failure. As an active and energetic member of many successive Ad ministrations he was eminently useful, and at times acquitted himself with distinguished ability. Asso oiated as he formerly was with two such men as GEORGE CANNING and WILLIAM HUSKISSON, as one of a triumvirate towards whose future a con siderable number of the community one generation back looked with sanguine expectation, it was im possible that FREDERICK ROBINSON could have been from first to last that egregious mediocrity which he has been long represented to have been by his depreciators. An administrator who had continued so long in office, and at times so credit ably, a man who had filled in successive Cabinets posts of such variety, of so much importance and responsibility, could not manifestly, could not, on the face of it have been the nonentity as the very incarnation of which he has latterly been repre sented. A mistake as the responsible chief of the Ad ministration—he was a meritorious servant of the Crown and of the country, during many years as a member in one capacity or another of various me morable Governments. The two most illustrious of his colleagues, with whose brighter genius his own inferior talents were at one period, as already observed, mistakenly associated, disap-, peared from the public scene, each of them pre maturely. Mr. CANNING, in 1827, worn out, almost broken-hearted, with anxiety and disappointment—Mr. HUSKISSON lamentably killed by the first locomotive engine run upon the first railway inaugurated for the conveyance of passen gers—the railway on the 15th September, 1830— between Manchester and Liverpool. Surviving these, far more eminent colleagues, the recently deceased statesman lived for more than eight-and twenty years after the last-mentioned catastrophe, to be either overlooked or depreciated. Between his birth, on the Ist of November, 1782, and his death, on the 28th of January, 1859, elapsed those six-and-eighty years, marked at first with such promise and activity, to be brightened out at last in such dull, protracted, and monotonous retire ment. The gorgeous little particoloured bubble of the Haytian Empire has burst at last. There is an end to the short-lived imperial glory of the negro NA POLEON BONAPARTE. The Emperor SOULOUQUE has been deposed froin his " high estate," by a . counter revolution. Dethroned and discrowned— he is now charged in half-a-dozen counts with the fol lowing high crimes and misdemeanours :—First, of having filled the prisons with untried citizens— secondly, with embezzling the funds of the judicial treasury—thirdly, with laying lawless hands upon the proceeds of the coffee crop—fourthly, with misappropriation of the sales of rosewood — fifthly, with issuing bank notes for his own par ticular advantage—sixthly, with organising a sys tem of armed pillage along the coasts, somewhat after the fashion of one carrying on the combined professions of a wrecker and a contrabandist. I]is Imperial MAJESTY, or, as he ought perhaps to be more appropriately designated, His Imperial Massa had been succeeded as ruler of St. Domingo by General GEFFRARD, as chief of the Provisional Go vernment. The prisoners wrongfully incarcerated had been released. Increased pay had been awarded to the Haytian soldiery, and every other kind of effort had been made by the victors of SOULOUQUE to invest themselves and their authority with a popularity unknown to that grotesque adventurer. The intelligence of these occurrences will probably have been overlooked by those who may have glanced but cursorily over the news last received in this country from the opposite shores of the Alantic—the accounts relating to Hayti being uttered, so to speak, sotto voce (and no wonder), as a matter of little importance, in the midst of the correspondence. Ridiculous, however, though the late political events in St. Domingo have undoubtedly been in themselves—. they are entitled to some p ass i ng consideration w h e never they reach, as they have just now d one , an acme of burlesque. They are deser v i ng o f th i s casual notice because relating to (however small) an independent community—stru ggling (flounder ing would perhaps be the better werd) in a wild effort to clamber somehow on to the broad pathway of modern civilisation. As we stated the other day, the Law Amend ment Society is continuing its useful exertions. It has in one respect departed from the prin ciples on which it has so long acted with credit to itsolf and advantage to the commu nity. It has directed its attention to the system of administration, and pointed out the evils that must result from a number of different courts, held at various points, distant from each other, exceed ingly inconvenient to all parties concerned. Bar risters frequently could not attend to the engage ments for Which they were handsomely remunerated/ THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 1, 1859, and clients were deprived of ,services which might have ensured their future fortunes, or, at least, placed them in far - more advantageous posi tions so far as pecuniary matters were concerned. There have thus been serious differences, simply because, as Sir R. BETHELL truly declared, "the system of administering justice in this country had been divided by accident, and that which was our misfortune had become our characteristic." Law had formerly its domicile in Westminster Hall, but with the increase of population it has swelled be yond its former limits, like a child that has out grown its former garments ! There are, no doubt, many parents who would still maintain the former regime, but there is a pressing necessity that re- quires a change. Fashion requires that every barrister must reside in one or other of the Inns of Court. He must be a member of either the Inner or Middle Temple, Lincoln's-inn, or Gray's-inn. Many solicitors and attorneys reside in the same vener able localities for the purpose of being enabled to obtain immediate advice ; but the tribunals are distant. Time, of which every minute is worth gold, is wasted in dancing from place to place, and the injury is not merely theirs, but that of the general public—at least of all who are compelled to engage in litigation, either as plaintiffs or de fendants. It is required that there should be a convenient point at which all could meet—at which the dis tinguished leader, overwhelmed with briefs, and the aspiring junior, could appear on neutral ground. It may be supposed that in this crowded metropolis it might be a work of intense difficulty, if not of impossibility, to discover such a locality. But it is clearly indicated. The space between Temple-bar and Lincoln's-inn-fields is palpably available. The ground is, unquestionably, valuable ; but it could, perhaps, be obtained at a far cheaper rate than any other offer ing similar advantages. There is a space, or what our transatlantic brethren term " a block," that may be purchased on reasonable terms. It would give ample accommodation to all the Law Courts, enable the Judges to try cases—civil, cri minal, metropolitan or county, legal or equitable— under the same roof; learned gentlemen might argue before different tribunals, and receive the latest instructions from chambers without the slightest inconvenience or annoyance, and the chief benefit would not be that merely of legal practitioners, whether barristers or solicitors, but of their clients and of the community at large, who have a deep interest in the pure administration of justice. The only question relates to cost. The Chancel lor of the Exchequer will have rather a hard game to play. The navy estimates must be increased. We must keep up the " national assurances" at an adequate amount. It may be regarded, therefore, as something out of the way to ask for what will be sufficieut to purchase Carey-street, Clement's inn, the two Boswell-courts, and, possibly, Clare market and the adjoining streets. But the project will be self-supporting. Nothing beyond a gua rantee will bo required. The suitors' fee fund would provide the means, and the Government might, without undertaking any extraordinary re sponsibility, undertake to satisfy the claims of any parties that could prove the justice of their de mands. THE LATE PREDICTION. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SlR,—The mild weather from the 18th to the 30th Janu ary, 1859, being so immediately opposite to my own predictions, together with those of other meteorologists, can, in my opinion, only be attributed to some extraordinary phenomena with which we are at present unacquainted, and gives reason to suppose another Comet is approaching our hemisphere. The inclement testimony from which I judged " severe weather" during the last ten days of January have all been neutralised and of no avail, although more numerous and equally powerful than those of January 1795 and 1814. I could offer no other predictions were I to predict over again, and I consider temperature to constitute the prin cipal point of weather predictions. I never waive the question, therefore shall abstain from offering any prediction upon the month of February. In my predictions, Nvritten in August, for September, 1857, it was then stated the intense heat experienced so long in summer of that year was, in my belief, attributable to the approach of a comet, and the result confirmed that conclusion. MR. G. T. '. SMITH'S 'WEATHER PREDICTIONS FOR SEPTEMBER, 1857. 3rd to the Bth, high temperature and fine, much heat in this interim, probably thunder; 9th to 13th or 17th, high temperature, and the average fine ; near 13th and 18th showery, 18th to 21st or 25th stormy, with declining tem perature, bright days intervening; near 26th to 30th rainy weather and squally, with declining temperature. It will be remembered my statement written in July was, that August, 1857 would prove one of the finest harvest months on record. The result only confirms that judgment. The intense heat also predicted from the 3d to the Bth, generated electric excitement, which is generally the con sequence, and that gave much increase to the rainy testi monies predicted to occur near the 9th of the month ; this and the fine weather" completes the monthly remarks. I am still inclined to believe the intense heat experienced so long, may be attributable to the approximation of a comet. There is also a conjunction of the superior orbs Jupiter and llerschell, which is one cause of the dry weather so con tinuous : they are near a separation at this period, but again approach their conjunction during spring of 1858, when a drought may be expected to prevail. Conceiving these hints of some utility, they are respectfully submitted to the public. G. T. F. SMITH. 6, Northfield-terrace, Cheltenham, August, 1857. P.S.—ln reference to the sth I would premise this kind oT heat sometimes produces electric dashing showers. December, 1858, and January, 1859, tend to support this second opinion of a comet's approximation. I have given these few remarks in reference to , that subject, which years of studious application, in addition to the last six months' correctness, appears to warrant or require.—l remain, sir, your obed. servt., G. T. F. SMITH Cheltenham, Jan. 31, 1859. ST. JAMES'S THEATRE. - OPERA COMIQ UE. The benefit of Madame Faure, the accomplished prima donna of the Opera Comique, took place last evening, and was attended by a full and fashionable audience. Herold's pretty and favourite opera, "Le Pre aux Clercs," was performed, the fair bdn dficiaire sustaining the character of Isabelle in a manner to leave nothing to be desired, even by the most fastidious. Her singing throughout was exquisite, and was remarkable, not only for the brilliancy and the facility of her execution, but for the graces and purity of her style. The beautiful and simple romance, " Souvenirs du jeune age," Madame Faure gave with a charming simplicity and feel ing, which called forth the warmest and, certainly, well merited marks of approbation. In the air " 0 jours d'in nocence," Madame Faure was equally successful. It was delightfully sang, and unanimously and enthusiastically applauded. Of the acting of Madame Faure we must speak also in the highest terms of commendation. It was exceed ingly clever throughout, and evinced very considerable his trionic powers. At the termination of the opera, the fair be'neficiaire was twice called forward, and was received with loud and re peated demonstrations of applause, from a full, and, at this theatre at all times, a discriminating audience. It must be acknowledged she was well supported by Madlle. Celine Mathieu, M. Berger, M. Emon, M. Montreuil, and M. Orgeval. Madlle. Celine Mathieu, as Nicette, made a very pretty and interesting fiancee. She played with great naiveté, and sang the ronde " A la fleur du bel age," and other moreeaux admirably. But we really wish this young lady could be prevailed upon not to sing too flat, as she in variably does. It sadly mars the effect in the concerted pieces. Mons. Berger gave the air, " Oh, ma tendre =le I" very pleasingly. After the opera there was a concert, in which variations on the 6 ' Carnaval de Venise" w exqui sitely sang by Madame Faure, who poured forth a perfect shower of melodious ornament from her lips, and richly deserved the applause which the audience so liberally be stowed. We must, offer our best congratulations to this accomplished lady on her having established herself so great a favourite. To M. Remusat the greatest praise is duo for his indefatigable exertions as entrepreneur and conduc tor, by which he has succeeded in bringing his orchestra to a state of excellence rarely to be met with. We wish him every success in his undertaking. THE NAVY ESTIMATES.—W e have already stated that there would be a considerable increase in te navy estimates for the year 1859-60, and we have now to state that, although it had been generally believed there would be no increase in the number of seamen voted for, we have good foundation for stating that there will be an increase of 3,000 Lou. THE PENINSULAR AND NORTH AFRICAN MAILS. The Peninsular and North African Steam Navi gation Company's .steamer Warrior, H. Cooper, commander, sailed from the Victoria Docks at noon, this day, carrying the mails for the Penin sula, North Africa, and the Canary Islands. The Warrior has a full cargo, including a large amount of gold and silver bullion, and carries a full complement of passengers. COURT CIRCULAR. WINDSOR, JAN. 31.

THE LATE EARL OF RIPON.--The mortal remains of the Earl of Ripon are to be removed to-day from Putney Heath for Nocton;Lincolnshire, for interment. The shipments of silver to India and China by Friday's mail are expected to be about £150,000, but from the circumstance that any fresh political complications will probably lead to counter orders it is impossible to estimate the amount a few days beforehand with any certainty" The Africa, from New York, has brought £95,000 and a telegram announces the arrival of the Columbia at Suez with the Australian mail and £75,000. The gold by the Swiftsure, £339,100, was received in London yesterday, and about two-thirds have been brought for the continent.

THE INDIA AND CHINA MAILS.—The heavy por tion of these mails, expected at Southampton yesterday by the steam-ship Ceylon, will not probably reach there before the 2d of February. It will be recollected that the Ceylon did not leave the abovenamed port until the 6th of the month, instead of the 4th, not being ready until that day. Allowing her the usual time to make the passage, viz., 14 days to Alexandria, and the same time on her return, she could not be expected until the 3d, but as the winds have been favourable for her return she may accomplish the pas sage in 13 or even 12 days, so that she may be looked for on the evening of the Ist or morning of the 2d proximo. REPRESENTATION OF THE WEST RIDING.—Leeds, Monday afternoon.—lnformation has been received that Sir John William Ramsden, M.P. for Hythe, will offer himself as a candidate, in the Liberal interest, for the West Riding, in the place of Lord Goderich, about to succeed to the Peerage on the death of his father, the late Earl of Ripon.

HARVEY COMBE.—On Saturday the sums of money bequeathed by the late Mr. Harvey Combe to the workmen and other persons employed at the brewery, Castle-street, Long-acre, were paid by the execu tors, at the brewhouse.

After the payment had been made business was suspended for the remainder of the day, in order to give the fortunate legatees an opportunity of investing or making purchases with their bequests. THE SENIOR WRANGLER.—The Senior Wrangler of this year, Mr. James Maurice Wilson, of St. John's Col lege, is the eldest son of the Rev. Edward Wilson, M.A., vicar of Nocton, near Lincoln, himself formerly a Wrang ler and Fellow of St. John's. Mr. J. M. Wilson received his school education partly at King William's College, Isle of Man, under the Rev. Dr. Dixon, the present Principal ; and afterwards at the well-known grammar school of Sed bergh, Yorkshire.

On that occasion the President of the National Coun cil delivered a speech, which concluded with the following words :—"Let us maintain our indepen dence, like a united and armed people, by avoiding to offend neighbouring States." FRANCE. PARIS, MONDAY. A letter from Turin states that to enable the marriage of Prince Napoleon and the Princess Clotilde to be celebrated on a Sunday a dispensa tion from Rome was necessary, according to the rules of the Catholic Church ; and that the Pope not only granted it at once, but accompanied it with his congratulations to the illustrious couple. Baron de Bourqueney, French ambassador to the court of Vienna, has had to delay his return from Blois to Paris, in consequence of the sudden indis position of one of his sons. But it is believed, says the Memorial Diplomatique, that he will very shortly return to Vienna. BOURSE, Jan. 31.—The market has been heavy during the day.

THE EAST. A Constantinople letter of the 19th lan., in the Gazette du Midi, says :—" Very stormy weather has lately prevailed in the Black Sea.and in the Archipelago, and several casualties among ship ping have taken place. The Eugenio, a Neapolitan vessel, has been wrecked near Caffa. The captain and crew were saved with great difficulty, but the vessel and cargo are totally lost. Three other ves sels, two English, the General Havelock and the Elizabeth Anne, and a Norwegian, the Nork-Not- Vtigs, went ashore near Odessa. The Dneiper, belonging to theßussian Steam Navigation Company, which went ashore in the Dardanelles on her way from England to Constantinople, has been totally wrecked. The money onboard was saved but the cargo lost. Mehemet-Ali Pacha, the Minister of Marine, has just presented to the Divan a report on the state of the Ottoman fleet for 1859. It will be composed of two sailing line-of-battle ships of 84 guns, both in good condition ; two screw liners of 72 guns ; two of 92 guns with engines of 850 horse-power'; and a screw frigate of 54 guns and 550 horse-power. These vessels are well built and provided with good machinery. In addition, there will be seven paddle wheel frigates of 600 horse-power each, which per formed essential services during the Crimean war; a corvette of 350-horse power, and also seven gun boats which are now employed in the surveillance of the mouths of the Danube. There are also about 40 smaller vessels employed in different services among the Islands of the Archipe lago. The Minister has also announced that, in addition to the vessels afloat, there are on the stocks one screw-liner of the first class, two screw frigates of 60 guns each, and built on the best French and English models ; two screw corvettes of 400 horse power each, five screw gunboats, four large screw transports, and ten screw coastguard vessels armed with heavy guns, and which, accord ing to the stipulations of the Treaty of Paris, are to act as the police of the Black Sea. Independently of keeping up these naval forces, the. Turkish Marine Department will continue the execution of several important works in the ports of the empire." SPAIN. The Madrid journals of the 27th Jan. state that the prosecution before the Senate, acting as a High Court of Justice, of M. Santaella, a senator, for alleged embezzlement as commissary-general of La Cruzada, takes place on the complaint of the Court of Accounts, and that the embezzlement is said to consist of the appropriation of religious and charita ble funds in 1,849 and 1850. In a letter addressed to one of the journals, M. Santaella says that the accusation has been trumped up against him because he opposes the present Cabinet, and he thanks the President of the Council for giving him an opportunity of proving his innocence. In the Chamber of Deputies M. Olozaga presented a motion for making some alteration in the standing orders relative to the election of vice-presidents, and the bureaux of the Chamber, after due examination, authorised it to be brought forward. The Govern ment has resolved on having in 1861 an exhibition of the natural and manufactured productions of Spain and her colonies, also of those of Portugal and her possessions, and of all the States, of Spanish origin in America. The Government has ordered that 24 Arabs taken prisoners at Melilla shall be sent to the latter place, with a view to getting them exchanged for the Spanish officer and soldiers whom the Kabyles have in custody. One of the journals having stated that the Cortes are about to be suspended, the Correspondazzcia Autografa, semi-official organ, declares that the statement has not the slightest foundation. At Barcelona it is said that a person, named Montoriol, is constructing a submarine boat with which he undertakes to bring in a piece of cannon thrown into the sea at two miles from the shore. Queen Maria Christina arrived at Rome on the 22d Jan. The o,fficial Venice Gazette, of the 26th January announces that in consequence of orders to that effect the University of Padua is to be immediately re-opened. Students wishing to he re-admitted must apply for permission to the provincial dele gation of Padua. A letter from Belgrade says :—" Prince Mi losch will traverse Servia slowly, and arrive at Belgrade only on the eleventh day after his entrance into the principality. He will be ac companied from one district to another by the authorities and by a guard of honour on horseback. He will be reeeiyed at the gates of Belgrade, amidst the ringing of bells and the firing of cannon, by the Bishop, the Senate, the Ministers, the Courts and Tribunals, and the municipal authori ties. His delegate and all the Skuptschina, together with the metropolitan and several bishops, will be waiting for him near the Government House. The town will be illuminated duringthree nights." A St. Petersburgh letter says :—" The Grand Duchess Helen, widow of the Grand Duke Michael, brother of the Emperor Nicholas, emancipated her serfs on the Russian New Year's-day (the 13th), on liberal conditions ; in addition to their cottages, dependencies, and kitchen gar dens, each of them is to have conceded to him four acres of land, for which he is to pay a sum which is really insignificant -11 roubles (6f.) a-year, I have heard—and they are to be allowed wages of from 25 to 40 roubles (100 f. to 160 f.) for cultivating the lands which the Grand Duchess retains." A private letter from Melilla of the 16th January, received at Madrid, states that an offi cer of the Emperor of Morocco had arrived in the mountains of the Riff, and summoned the rebel chief Benisidel to deliver up Lieutenant Alvarez and other, Spanish prisoners. The chief of the tribe formally refused to obey the Emperor until the Spaniards had delivered up the cannon which they had taken from him. It now remains to be seen whether the Emperor of Morocco will be strong enough to enforce obedience on Benisidel and his tribe. THE WAR IN INDIA. A supplement to Friday's Gazette was published last night, containing despatches which describe various attacks upon the rebels in India, most of the results of which are already known. The first despatch comprises a report from Brigadier Mac duff, commanding the 2d Infantry Brigade, Saugor Field Division, of an action fought with the rebels posted in the village of Sahoa, and their complete defeat with great loss. Another despatch from Brigadier-General Sir R. Napier, commanding Gwalior division, dated head-quarters, A llahabad, August 30, 1858, enters into a detail of the opera tions of a force under his command against the fort of Powrie, on the 20th of that month. The enemy lost 10 killed and 30 wounded. Lieut.-Colonel Walter, commanding at Arrah, gives an account of a successful encounter with the rebels on the 30th of July, near the village of Kori sauth. In this engagement the rebels sustained a loss of from 50 to 60 men, without any casualties on our side. _ Brigadier Douglas, C. 8., commanding in the districts of Ghazeepore and Bezar, publishes a report from Major Carr, Madras Rifles, giving an account of a successful operation resulting in the complete defeat and dispersion of a large body of rebels, who were about to attack his advanced post at Doomraon on the 13th of August last. Major Carr states that his force in all did not consist of more than 350 men, and he was opposed by three separate bodies, "but he did not think of the small ness of his force when he remembered that it was the 84th he had with him." Captain Nason, in a despatch to Major Carr, de scribes his pursuit of the enemy near the village of Kuseea. Captain Nason says that the Military Train, supported by the Sikh Cavalry, charged the enemy gallantly under a heavy fire, and cut up in the space of half an hour between 40 and 50 of them, all Sepoys, with the exception of one man, who was found to be a Sikh. Our casualties were few. Among the other despatches are reports from Lieutenant Edward Chamier, AsSistant Commis sioner in political charge of the Kuppoortulla Con. tingent, noticing a decisive success obtained over the enemy at the village of Gohemiya with a loss to the enemy of between 150 and 200 killed, and of a successful attack upon the rebels by Major Carr, Madras Rifles, near Bhojpore. The other despatches comprise accounts of a very successful affair with the rebels at Seerpoorah, where there was considerable slaughter ; and of an action at Nooneah on the 29th of August. Also of attacks upon the rebels at Sosra, and at the villages of Mhow and Mohoni, and the series of operations under Major-General Sir Hope Grant, which occu pied six weeks, and ended in the passage across the Goomtee. Then follow descriptions of the proceedings of Lieut.-Colonel Robertson, 25th Bombay Native In fantry, in pursuit of the rebels under Maun Sing. The particulars of various other successful attacks upon the rebels in different localities are then nar rated. A copy of a resolution passed by the Go vernor in Council is given, in which he speaks of the feelings of gratification he experienced in perusing the account of the brilliant success obtained by the force under Major-General Roberts, commanding Rajpootana Field Force, in the general action of the 14th of August. Major-deneral Roberts gives an account of his operations in succeeding despatches. Many gallant affairs with the rebels in various localities are then described. Our troops were successful in all their encounters with the rebels, in some of which the latter experienced severe loss. In one despatch the Governor-General highly commends the conduct of Brigadier 6ir Thomas Seaton, K.C.8., commanding at Shahjehan pore, whose forces completely routed the enemy under Khan Bahadoor Khan in an action near Bun-ke-gaon on the Bth of October last. Ordnance stores, and cattle, were captured from the enemy. Major-General Michel, C. 8., commanding Mhow Field Force, in a succeeding despatch reports the defeat of Tantia Topee on the 15th October. The chief point of interest in the remaining despatches is comprised in a report, which details the results of an expedition sent up the Kurriimnassa river to Dehree, against the rebel. chief Mezha Rao and his followers. Major Carr, commanding a detachment, in his despatch says : " The enemy were completely broken, but our success was purchased dearly. In almost the first part of the conflict the gallant Nason fell, shot dead; in a few seconds afterwards the gallant Douglas received a mortal wound, from which he has since died, 139th these invaluable officers were shot in the same place, in the centre of the body." THE lONIAN ISLANDS. CORFU, Jan. 25.—Sir John Young left Corfu this morning for Italy. His Excellency and Lady Young embarked in the lonian Government steamer with the usual military salutes and honours, the state barge in which they proceeded to the steamer being, on this.occasion, manned by officers from the garrison. A vast concourse of people assembled to witness the departure of a Lord High Commissioner who, in conjunction with Lady Young, has done more to promote kind feelings between the lonians and the English than any of his predecessors, and who, during a period of nearly four years, has dis pensed the splendid hospitalities of the Palace, without regard to political consideration, in a manner that will not easily be forgotten in these islands. Previous to his departure Sir John was enter tained by the officers of the different regiments quartered at Corfu. On Saturday, after dining with the 9th Regiment, his Excellency spoke at some length ; and after paying a tribute to the admirable manner in which the balance of justice had been maintained between the military and the lonians, owing to the judgment and moderation of Sir Geo. Buller, commander of the forces, Sir John pro ceeded to say that to the moral effect produced by the presence of the English forces he attributed, i n a great degree, that security to life and pro perty and preservation of law and order which now exist in all these islands. And he earnestly expressed his belief that, should our forces at any future time be withdrawn, the result would be disastrous to the peace and prosperity of the lonian people. Mr. Gladstone assumes the office of Lord High Commissioner to-day ; and in justice to the good taste and feeling of the inhabitants of Corfu it must be confessed that only one opinion exists as to the impropriety of his taking possession of the vacant throne. Such conduct towards a friend, even the political world has seldom witnessed. The feeling of indignation is the stronger because every person acquainted with the islands is sensible of the folly of sending out this roving Commissioner Extraordinary, which can, under no circumstances, effect any good, and which must, by exciting the vanity of the people, and encouraging the agitating elements of lonian politics, be injurious to, the best interests of the country. The lonian Parliament opens today with a message from Mr. Gladstone. The deputies have agreed then to petition the Queen to take into consideration, in conjunction with the other Powers, the question of union with Greece, and until an answer has been received to the prayer of the petitioners, the Chamber will de cline to consider the question of the reform about to be proposed by Mr. Gladstone. A more miser able and unhappy position than that now occupied by, the new Lord High Commissioner it is difficult imagine.to' Mr. Gordon, secretarytolllr. Glad stone, is said to be so much annoyed with the whole proceedings that, acting under the advice of his father, Lord Aberdeen, he has sent in his resigna tion, and returns forthwith to England, hopeless of effecting any good by remaining here. SPORTING NOTES. WAITING FOR THE VERDICT. Expectation is again on tip-toe, and a temporary check has been given to speculation. Turfites are waiting for the verdict which owners of horses will record against the handicaps recently published by Messrs. Topham and Johnson. The acceptances for the Chester Cup will be published, it is anticipated, by Thursday at the latest, and simultaneously with them will be issued the weights for the Metropolitan, City and Suburban, and Newmarket Handicaps. The betting on the Cup was very limited during the past week. and no important change has been made in it. By the way, a rumour has just reached me to the effect that Physician has met with'an accident, but I have yet had no opportunity of ascertaining the truth of the report. Certainly the "tone of the market" on Satur day last would not warrant my entertaining a belief in the alleged mishap. When the acceptances are published I will enter into a full analysis of the comparative chances of the horses en gaged in the Chester Cup and other Spring Handicaps. Goodness gracious 1 .What moral rectitude would mark the members of the " Ring," how pure would be their transactions, and how straightforward would be their con duct if " The Admiral" and the Sporting Press could have things regulated in their own way. Actually bets are made which are not genuine 1 The '• Ring" has its "riggers," as the Stock Exchange has its "bears." Prodigious I But, seriously, the system of "flash " betting has deser vedly received a check, and the exposers of it deserve praise for the proper discharge of a disagreeable duty. The Admiral has, however, I see, at tempted to revive his pet theory about p. p. bets, and roundly declares that all bets on the Chester Cup, prior to the publication of the weights, are "illegal," and that the reporters would have been guilty of no dereliction of duty if they had taken no notice of them. The public, however, is of a different opinion. Men will bet after their own fashion ; no laws can regulate the character and extent of wagers, the interest of which consists principally in their uncertainty, and in the calculation even of the remote pro babilities which they involve. The first holiday of the metropolitan turfites will take place at Reading next week, where there is a prospect of a capi tal steeplechase meeting. I believe that the line of country will not present so many obstacles as that which was for merly used in the same locality. The sporting newspapers are absolutely devoid of inte resting turf topics, but the dearth of intelligence will not long continue. A FRESH MAN. TATTERSALL'S-YESTERDAY. As the publication of the acceptances for the Chester Cup, Great Northern Handicap, and Northamptonshire Stakes, is now daily expected, the betting on those events was at a dead lock. Speculation on the Liverpool Steeple chase was, however, somewhat brisk. Ghika was in good demand at the ,odds quoted ; the inquiries after Weather cock Vero more numerous than the investments on him; and Ace of Hearts was in so much force that he rose from 25 to 1 to 22 to 1. Gaspard was backed freely for the Derby, and after 1,000 to 35 had been taken about him, a nobleman, popularly be lieved to be the owner of the horse, invested £lOO on hint at 25 to 1. Logic figured for the first time in the betting 6,000 to 60 being taken about him.

SCULLERS' RACE FOR TEN POUNDS. A capitally contested scullers' race for the above amount (£5 a-side), was rowed yesterday afternoon, between Henry Pearson, of Hungerford, and John Weston, of Westmin ster. Pearson was the favourite, and won the toss for choice of station, taking the Middlesex side. The distance was from Putney to Battersea. A capital start was effected, and they were scull and scull for about 60 or 80 yards, when Pearson began to draw his boat away, and opposite the "Feathers" was nearly a clear length in advance of Weston, and at Wandsworth pier had increased his lead to about a length and a half. The pace was very good, but Pearson continued to lead, and, maintaining the lead throughout, ultimately went in the winner by about three lengths and a half at the finish. THIS DAY'S MARKETS.
