Ti) I ONDON, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 30, 1858. The HAVELOCK Memorial Fund ought by this time to have realised our most sanguine expecta tions. It has ECU to do so however—the sub scription lists are still open—the public sympathy in furtherance of the object of its originators is still earnestly claimed by them in memory of the heroic dead, the pure-minded, gentle-hearted, self forgetful, self-sacrificing HAVELOCK ! "Soldiers," cried that gallant Captai:a to his troops, on the of last August, addressing them through the General Order after the action at Bithoor, " SJI - ! in that moment your labours, your priva tions, your suffering, and your valour will not be forgotten by a grateful country." In that tnoinent—tha Hereafter. Fur Sir H. HAVELOCK, himself, " that moment has long since arrived —it arrived within two days after his last and most glorious achievement—the relief of Luck now. From the date of that fatal morning, when the saviour of the beleaguered city fell a victim to his long-continued and preternatural toils—dying not by cannon shot, or by bullet, by bayonet thrust, or by sword stroke, but by sheer physical ex haustion—all time in his regard since then Las been indeed with a solemn. significance—the Hereafter. And in that moment, in this mo ment, surely we may echo back to him his own noble words—" Soldier ! your labours, your privations, your valour trill not be forgotten by a grateful country." Those great labours, those terrible I,Aivatione, that nntehleQg valour—we still bear tenderly and reverently as a nation in our remembrance. We remember that although Sir H. HAVELOCK'S brilliant career commenced subsequently to the Battle of Waterloo, it had been illustrated before its premature close by man y splendid and innumerable successes. it began for him in India, five - and-thirty years ago, name l y i n 1823, when he exchanged into the 13th Light Dragoons. It Was inaugurated there fur him by his participation forthwith in the first Burmese war; and subsequently was continued in 1839, i n 1841, and in 1842, w h en he acted as &kw-d e _ Camp to Sir WnLOUOILBY COTTON in Affghanista n . As "Persian Interpreter, he served successively under Major-General ELPHINsTONE, under Sir R. BALE, and under Sir G. POLLOCK. He was at the storming and taking of Cilluzuee. - He was at the defence of JelLtlabad. It was he who aonntanded the right column in the attack upon MORAMED AKBAir. at Tazeen, in the conquest of Cabmil, and at the capture of 'stela It was HAVELOCK, again, who acted as Persian interpreter to Hume Lord GouGa at the battle of Maharajpore. In. 1845 and 1316 he passed through the deadly campaign of the Sutlej—through the sanguinary battles of Moodkeh, Ferozeshali, and Sobraou : in the first of these three fearful conflicts having t wo horses shot under him, and in the last, one—proofs posi tive of his having been in the thick of the horrible carnage. In the springtime of last year, 1857, he took part with the heroic OuTRAM in the brief but eminently successful Persian Expedition. subsequently every one knows the glorious sequel by heart—the advance of Sir HENRY HAVELOCK, with his handful of heroes, through that disastrous wilderness of death, Bengal—then, far and wide, through its length and breadth, in a state of bloody, cruel, mad, and pitiless insur rection ! It was an advance mad© through all but overwhelming masses of the rebel soldiery— through one almost continuous struggle, hand to to hand, during eighty-seven awful days of march ing and fighting. Ripping their way through the serried ranks of the insurgent sepoys—through some deadly missile discharges from the can non's mouth—the little band of warriors, mark ing their p ty t 1 1 , 3, trail of their dead enemies, advanced upon what was then the very ite...rt of the rebellion : and two days after the relief of Lucknow, HavEnocK the Bold and the Victorious was no more—had been laid low by the very triumph thus mournfully achieved. The history of his life and death forms a grand and instructive Remembrance. Dead himself—his name England will not willingly let die. Thousands have already responded to the appeal for some fitting public commemoration of the last, and not the least, of the Heroes of Hindostan. London, for the most part, has answered the call—but, have the rich City Guilds ? Nay, for that matter, have the majority of the wealthy mercantile firms of the metropolis ? Have the more affluent among the great commercial towns in the provinces ? Has Liverpool ? Has Birmingham ? Let the sub scription-list answer ! . . . It is dumb. A silence so remarkable should be broken. Wo csil upon those guilds, upon those firms, upon Liver pool, upon Birmingham, upon the capitals of com merce all through this busy and prosperous land of ours, to swell the funds of thin patriotic memo rial—the memorial of the heroic and lamented HAVELOCK. We trust that the hope expressed by the Chancellor of the Exchequer on Friday, that the Government of India Bill would pass through committee during the present week may be fully realised. There is no point of principle remaining for discussion on which long debates can be anti cipated. The only _subject that can lead to ar gument, is Mr. GLADSTONE'S motion that the first members of the Council should be named in the bill. We have already adverted to this point, explaining that it was the original intention of the Government that such should be the case, so far as the nominated members of the body were concerned. Subsequent investigations, how ever, disclosed sundry objections to the course, and we have no doubt that when those objections have been fairly stated the House and country will accede to the course adopted, after mature consideration, by Lord STANLEY and Mr. DISRAELI, and their colleagues in the Cabinet. The President of the India Board has given notice of sundry amendments to be introduced into the Bill when in committee. They are, hntvAvpr, merely inter.del to provide greater faci lities for working the Legislative machinery. And the publication of these amendments will enable the different members to consider the several points, and to make up their minds with respect thereto There will be no factious opposition. That day has gone by. Lord PALMERSTON has got his quietus. He has received a painful but salutary lesson, teat he is not the accepted leader of the liberal party. His hope of political dictatorship has vanished. He must ex necessitate submit to his exclusion from office. There is no plausible pretext. No excuse that can be resorted to. Every trump card has already been played, and he could not succeed in gaining a single trick. Majorities of 62 and 93 respectively were great facts, which "Made him wise, and opened his eyes To a sense of his situation." The mauling he received from young BENDIGO, when he took up the cudgels that had fallen from the nerveless grasp of the Bedford pet, showed the grave mistake into which he had been betrayed, and he might have exclaimed with a well-known character— " Ara' I had known he had been se cunning of fence, I'd have seen him d----d before I had meddled with him." He is therefore virtually bound over to keep the peace during the remainder of the session, and his quo-itdam, colleagues and followers are includad in the same recognisances. With the best disposition, therefore, to get up any row, by which he might accomplish his object, or even annoy his successors in office, he sees no oppor. tunity of gaining any advantage that should not be purchased at too high a price,'and therefore, as the Times announced on Monday, " The India Bill will pass," and that without any unnecessary delay. It will no longer be made the champ de baltaille of faction fights, as disgraceful as any that ever t )ok place at Irish fair or pattern in "_the. tewu of Nate Cio6 , heen," or the classic plains of Kildorrary. The Lords will deal fairly with the subject. It will be brought fairly before them next week, earlier than has been anticipated, and they will certainly not waste the public time by unnecessary procrastination or useless delay. The by no means sweet-smelling savours emanating from the " silver winding Thames," and penetrating into the most secret corners of the Imperial Palace at Westminster, afford the best possible guarantee for their industry. They are already panting for their holidays, when each noble lord can ride his respective hobby with out let or hindrance, and comfurt himself with the notion that he has fairly earned the recreation he is enjoying by his zealous attention to business, and indefatigable energy. We suppose that the temporary alleviations of sickeri- , g c!// , iriltra , obtained at a cost of 1,500/. per week wilt theu cease. IN!:en the select upper cruet have migrated, when the ten thousand, who consider themselves " the world" have fled to their country seats, and " London has really gone out of town," nothingmore will be done. The lives of the remaining 2,490,000 inhabitants are of too little consequence to occasion the slightest uneasiness in aristocratic minds. Such at least would be the case under a Whig regime, with either L)rd PALMERSTON or Lord JOHN RUSSELL at the head of affairs. We, however, hope for something better from Lord DERBY. We can readily discern the difficulties with which the question is beset, the Impropriety of entering into a very large ex penditure until every point had been fully cond. dered, and it had ascertained whether the valuable manure which might be wasted could not be applied to the fertilisation of the surrounding districts, and made to liquidate a considerable proportion of the expense. We must perforce be contented with make shifts for the present year, but these should be of the belt character, without reference to cost-, which is but of secondary importanee, when the lyJalth and life of two millions and a-half of British subjects are concerned. EAST .NORFOLK ELECTION. (FROM A CORRESPONDENT.) So East Norfolk remains with the Whigs. The contest has been a sharp one as the reports of the polling show, and it is a very instructive one too. Whether we would or no, having shown our face in the county, as we made free to tell our readers last week, we were forced to be present ; for we had old friends there, and old friends hotly in for a contested county election, as some of our readers may know, will not let you rest in London if you can give them a vote. You may tell them that you care little which candidate beats, but they will ask you in tones to which you may not for old acquaintance-sake be insensible, whether you do not care that they should be on the winning side ; they will find out some mere showing of a reason why, of the two, their man should be yours it you. du vote, an , l vliel voa must and share their hospitality for a day whether you eau spare the time or not, at peril of their long dis pleasure. You may give a majority of one,—you may help to make a small majority a little better, or, it is just whispered, you, may render a mino rity lass despicable. What with such considera tions, and the good old fame of Norwich for "cooping" voters likely to give theslip, what could any one do but obey the summons? And how, then, didyou vote? some inquisitive readers may ask. We beg to remind them that we are out and out advocates for secret voting, and how then can any one pre sume to ask us what our vote was ? We wish, however of course to be obliging to all our friends —so to our liberal friends we may reply—we voted for the most liberal candidate ; that surely is all they wish to know. And to our Tory friends, for some we have, and good ones too, men who can pardon all our Radicalism, because we can afford to be independent and straight-forward, to them we say, we voted as our father voted before us. That we are sure is an answer which will satisfy every true Conservative, for how could the past be conserved if we do not stick to the ways of our forefathers ? Tuesday morning opened with no small solicitude to both parties. Who was to win no mortal can tell. A leading Tory lord has been mortally affronted by his party, and it is understood emancipated his tenants pro her vice; " they were to be at liberty to vote as they pleased," a boon, the meaning of which they well understood, and doubtless used it aright. Other Conservative landlords have, of late years, veered round to Whiggism, and had proved their power at the last election. Still the Tories had been making unusual efforts . Sir HENRY STRACEY had been first and actively in the field, and it was to be, on his part, a thoroughly determined fight. We went at eight o'clock to the Norwich polling booths, where the arrangements were very good ; on each side of the Hall where criminals were tried, and the foot of the hill, on which stands the castle, from which they would look down, if they could, on the free and independent electors below, we found two booths, surmounted respectively with the names of STRACEY and COKE, and so widely separated that even Irishmen would have found it not so easy to "kick up a shindy:" However, the not very large crowd which surrounded them showed no disposition to do so. All was wonder fully quiet. A large proportion of the voters were not personally kno;sn to the spectators or each other ; rosettes and colours were rare. Cabs with properly tinted placards ware almost the only conspicuous party devices, though we did notice one large orange flag with " CORE AND DEFORM" for its motto. His opponent's favourite motto seemed to be—" VOTE FOR STRACEY, THE FARMERS' FRIEND." A friend they do need, they generally think, no doubt, with the best wheat at forty shillings a quarter. But we doubt the old cry is now used up. Farmers think that a bad harvest in France would be a better friend to them than anything a legislator now can do. Well, and what again of the two candidates and the contest ? We cannot, we fear, add much to what we have already said. Sir HENRY STRACEY . calls himself a Derbyite out awl out. But it is generally thought there is a very much more stiff necked Toryism in him than in the Noble Earl. He is supposed to be one of the old hard class of Toriee, and to be almost frightened at the liberal doings of the Cabinet, by whose leaders he swears. Truly or falsely such is his repute among the Radicals; that now large body, therefore, in East Norfolk almost to a man voted for COKE. A Con servative of the STANLEY type would, we believe, have triumphed ; but a " farmer's friend," and a breeder of nothing, and of less than nothing, if he could help it, put some little opposition life into the Independent Liberals. Then they did get Mr. COKE—one clear political, noted above his antagonist. He would vote for the Abolition of Coo-eh-rates, if it ever came before the Com mons again, and would have voted for it had he been in the House. This was at least en advance on Lord PALMERSTON. It told far too much in old Norwich, with its forty parishes, where a large number of voters live, and where Church-rate contsras have been bitter. As to the Ballot— well, ho had not thought _much about it, but he would do so ; and the report was that, on that point, he was to be considered spevab/e. We quite believe that he is ; that ho would at any time vote for it rather than endanger his seat. The battle is an instructive one both to Whigs and Tories. The former must see that they will have to advance from the PALMERSTON and Rus- SELL position if they are to beat even an old school Tory. The latter will see that they, toe, must look out for the most liberal men of their own party even for the counties. The very land lords themselves are beginning to move on a little with the spirit of the times, and when the pre sent fathers are gathered to their fathers, the sons will be found to have made a considerable ad vance. Let the Liberal leaders also know their weak point, and liberal Tories their strong one. Some of the Whig canvassers in the country dis tricts told us frankly that their greatest diffi culty wag Lae of their party. Voters alleged openly that the Tories were dolog neetee than the Whigs had done ; and in the midst of hay harvest, and when they were not even to have a glass of ale and a piece of bread and cheese for riding, ten or a dozen miles it might be, why should they put themselves out of the way for such a small political gain ! Never. theless Mr. COKE has won. An ancestral name, deservedly popular among Norfolk agriculturists ; the turning round of many of the Tory landlords —on which before long we may have something to say for the general good ; the hanging out the vague "Reform" flag; the Parliamentary Church rate abolition ; and the alleged hardness of his opponent's Toryism, are probably the chief causes of his victory. A triumph it hardly was. Not five per cent, on the voters polled, and much less than that on the registered constituency. Our best wish for him is that he may be as good a man for his day as his father was for his. 1 3 1?INCESS',s' TREATRE. The "Merchant of Venice" continues its successful career at this house, and such a wonderful production deserves more than a passing notice. We have again visited the Princess's Theatre, arid it would be impossible to convey to cur readers the impressions made upon us by Mr, C. Kean's last crowning triumph. The " Mer chant of Venice" has one great advantage over Mr. Kean's other brilliant revivals, namely, that it unites to a Epee tanie as varied, glowing, and effective as that of "Henry an opportunity in the priecipai character, Shylock (which " Heery VIII " did not equally afford), for the display of all the marvellous powers of Mr. C. Kean's mind. The grand, bold, Michael Angelo cut ;ine—the minute, exquisite, Watteau-like iluish—the passions in all their intensity ; the burning, gallirg sense of long arrears of wrong ; the deadly hate, the witheting scorn, the bitter sarcasm, the thirsty ven geance, the ravenous cruelty. and those beautiful touches of pathos which makes Mr. Kean's Shylock human. All these elements were never before so finely combined int) such a gsrgeous mice en scene, such a succession of exquisite, brilliant, and accurate scenes and tableaux ricans. "Henry VIII." and the "Winter's Tale" may vie in spectacular effect with the "Merchant of Venice," but the characters of Cardinal Wuley, or Leontes—perfect as Mr. C. Kean's Welsey and Loontes were—do not afford the same scope for his singular and most affluent genius that Shylock does. "Hamlet," which is divested of all show and splendour, and "Lear," in which there is comparatively but little, are the only other characters in Mr. Kean'e Shakesperian revival, in which his astonishing powers and energies, mental and physical, have full play. Oi all Shitkeipere's plays the " Merchant of Venice" is one of the most agreeable, anal alines to us as a relief after the grand and solemn e! ~ .s, ese rests of the greatest secrets of dramatic interest, %%N.:6 l'er aLly n R 3 '1" the casket scene, and in the court of justice. l'he bean strings of the audience are straiced almost to cracking their tension is as great as if the scene were a reality then going cn in our Central Criminal Court. When Shy lock whets his knife, an involuntary shudder passes through every frame,. People e.ho know the play by heart forget they knort it, or rather forget that it is a play at all—for the time it is reality. Mr. Kean is Shylock just 33 he is Hamlet, and as he is Lear. Even in Hamlet his declamation is not finer than in that noble speech, " Hath not a Jew eyes T' &c. The pathos of that appeal is so finely contrasted with the passion, the concentrated essence of revenge, hate, sarcasm, and cruelty with which the bond is chime 1. The expression of countenance, and the fire of Mr. Kean's wonderful eye, makes us feel that this, indeed, " Is the Jew Which Shakespere drew." Nothing morn finished than Mr. Kean's Shylook has been witnessed upon the stage, and it is only the highest art, the most exalted genius, that can present so perfect a portrait- Fcr the time being, Mr. Kean is the character ho impersonates, and how distinct is each character in his hands. Look upon the astonishing change that comes over Shylock when from the triumph of antici pated, hail glutted vengeance, he, as it were, collapses into a baffled, bau!ked, spirit broken bankrupt. What a study for a painter or a poet, when Mr. Kean is about to leave the court—mental and bodily paralysis suc ceeding to the proud consciousness of power, and to the dignity which force cf.character lends even to a bad man. Mrs. C. Kean's performance of Portia is the most perfect we have ever seen, replete with arch grace and feminine tenderness. The famous speech of " Mercy" was beautifully delivered, and excited the warmest up probatien. .Miss Chapman, as the pretty Jessica, was graceful, gentle, and modest. We saw in her the reed lady, fresh, innocent, and young. Tho general cast of the play is most creditable to the performers engaged. A new farce entitled " Dying for Love," was pro duced on Monday night. It is from the pen of Mr. Morton, and consequently very tmnsing. Miss Murray, Miss Heath, Mr. Meadows, and Mr. D. Fisher played with great spirit, and . succeeded in bringing the piece to a happy termination.

TAEVINE IN SPAIN. --In the districts of urge], in Spain, the harveet is drawing near its close, aed the results are most satisfactory. The appearance of the vines is also highly promising, and there is every reason to anticipate a very abundant crop. PRICE OF GOLD.—The quotation of gold at Penis is about 2 per mills discount, and the short exchange cn London is 25.024 for 1/. sterling. On comparing there rates with the English Mint price of 3/. 17s. 104 per ounce for standard gold, it appears that geld is nearly 4-10tha per cent. dearer in Paris than is Lon don. By advicea from Hamburg the price cf gold is 424 per mark, and the short exchange on London is 13 41 per 1/.. sterling. Standard gold at the English Hint price is therefore about 1-10th per cent. dearer in London - than in Hamburg. The cotrse of exchangs at New York on Loudon for bills at 00 days' sight is 109 to 109.} per cent., which, when compared with the Mint par between the two ceectriee, shows that the exchange is slightly against England. And after waking allowance for charges of tranpert and difference of iuterrat, the present rate would have no profit on the itnpertetien cf gold from the United States , .

INDIA. We have received by express, via Marseilles, our letters from Calcutta and Hong Kong by the over land mail: The intelligence by this arrival of date is entirely anticipated by the telegraphic commui cation already published from Bombay. The Calcutta Hurkaru, of May 18, contains th® fol lowing : Our troops, which had been previously concen trated like a flail, to strike a great blow at Lucknow and in Oude, have since the dates mentioned in our last summary, been necessarily spread out like a fan to range and patrol as extensively as was compatible with safety over the land through which the rebel forces have been scattered. The system of grand patrols has superseded that of grand en gagements. The great body of the revolt is broken up into a multitude of small guerilla struggles and predatory attempts ; hut, everywhere, thee) off shoots and frag,rnetats are not only instinct with life, but instinct with the same kind of life, the same nature, thel same fell passions a nd b ru t a l ferocity which a - aim.ated the original organisation from which they-have sprung, like a swarm of car rion insects froist some foul decomposition. • The rebels rare generally handled roughly when net, but so like sword-thrusts in the water are some of the advantages gained, that, for instance, no sooner had Sir C o li n l e f t Sh a bj e h auporet h an a large force of the enemy attacked the little garrison of the 92d Regiment, and a few of De Kantzow's horses, left in thoplace,dt aye itinto its defences, from which it could not be stormed, but yet could not emerge— and then sacked the town. On the 28th and 29th of April, Colonel Edwardes and General Cotton made a difficult ascent of 18 miles to the stronghold of r-)tecl chief in the Muhuton mountains on the iiBuw , 1 ,, 0rn..-f , 7 tl , r. fast- ness ; five days afterwards, on May 4, Siltana after a desperate fight with the fanatics, at a loss to ourselves of ouly four killed and 12 wounded. These small combats at great distances from each other show the prodigious change which the whole war has undergone. The Punjabee states that there is some hitch in our relatiocs with the present ruler of Cashmere, but does n , :tt know the cause or nature thereof. Sir John Lawrence is to confer with Rungbeer Singh. The Chief Commissioner of the Punjab reports the discovery of a conspiracy among the wing of the 4th Native Infantry at Hoosheypore. it was discoverei, six of the conspirators hanged, four transported, and the remainder ordered to Jullun der pending further inquiry. The following extract from Sir Hugh Rose's de spatch on the taking of Garacota, bears on the question of the mutilations : " A young lady has arrived in Calcutta who survived the massacre at Cawnpore. She was carried over the country by a trooper, and seems to have been cruelly used. I send you the name and my authorities, as, should she proceed to England, she may bear valuable evidence. She readily all that occurred up to the commencement of the massacre, but the recollection of that scene always produces convulsions, and it is inter dicted by her friends." The following despatches, forwarded by the Go vernment to the Calcutta papers, are selected from a large number, most of which reached England by the last Bombay mail : " Service Message from G. F. Edmonstone, Esq., dated Allahabad, May 14, 6 a.m. " Shahjobanpore was relieved on the 11th May, and the Maulovee was defeAted. Cavalry in pursuit. The Chief Commisioner, Punjaub, reports that a conspiracy was discovered some days ago in the district in the wicg of the 4th N.I. at Ilosheerarpore. It was discovered and defeated with much promptitude by Mr. D. Rixon, the deputy-commissioner of the district. Six of the conspirators have been hanged and four transported. The wing was marched at once to Jullunder. Further and stringent inquiries have been suggested by the chief commissioner. All well." " Service Message from Commissioner of Patna, dated May 11, 4 p.m. " This moment received a letter from Sir E. Lugard cnclosing a telegram for Military Secretary and others, which I have forwarded. It confirms the news I sent yes terday. The enemy were taken by surprise, not expecting an attack from the west. We had no one killed, and nutfew wounded. The enemy suffered severely. Native letters from Arrah said, that both Koer Sing and Umma Sing are among the slain. The enemy have fled south, where it is hoped Col. Corfield will give good account of them." "Service Message from, the Commissioner of Patna, 13th May, 3 p.m. "A letter just received from M'Donnell. dated Jitopre, May 12, half-past nine a.m., says, Here we are at Jitopre. We had to fight our way about two miles this side of Dunes Itamka Talow. The enemy were soon driven out of the place with considerable loss. Cul. Cyrfield co-operat e d f rom th e soul h, and drove the rebels prom their entrpnohouci,ts at Burhonn He hcs.t several villages. The general unites hl3 force with that of Col. Cot field to-day at Pteroo, and sends a strong detachment of naval.) , and guns to prevent the rebels crossing the Soane. A number of the sepoys who were killed had the belts of the 40th Native Infantry. They seemed a good deal oat of condition.' " "Service Message from Brigadier-General Lugard, dated Jugdespore, May 11. " Oa the Bth inst., when h e encamped at Beehea, a large body of rebels attempted to cross the line of rail road towards the north-east, but were driven bade pre cipitatly into the jungle towards Jugdespore. On the following day the 903, I marched westward through the belt of jungle of Beehea, round to the village of fiettempore near Jugdespore, which was held by the rebels in greet force. He at once attacked the position, routed the rebels with some slaughter, and occupied the town and house of Kcoer-Sing, where we found gnus in process of being made. The rebels were taken quite by surprise, not dreaming I should advance upon Jugdes pore from the west, but expecting to be attacked direct from Arrah or from Beehea through densejungles, where they have strongly entrenched themselves. Tney are supposed to have fled south to the jungles, and I have sent to Colonel Corfield, who, I hope, has moved to Peeroo, to co-operate with me in driving them out, as I have had very few casualties, none killed. CHINA. • HONG KONG, MAY 5. The steamer Pottin.ir arrived on the 24th u lt., and brought on the English mails of Feb. 25 and March 9. The steamer leaves to-day with the out ward mail. We have advices from Shanghai to the 27th ult. Nothing had been heard of the Plenipotentiaries since their departure thence for the North. The Chinese steatner . Confucius had just arrived from the Gulf of Pecheli, and reports having se e n some foreign ships of war there. The state of matters at Canton does not appear to have improved. Much distrust prevails on the part of the inhabitants, who have been leaving the city. Peh-kwei, it is said, -wishes to be relieved from the duties cf the office he holds, and to retire into the country. His resignation, however, has not been accepted. The Hoppo, with some ocher offi cials, are iu custody for some political matter. The seizure of the Hoppo temporarily checked the trade in exports, but business has again been resumed. Large holies of braves are being collected in the vicinity of Canton, and we have received informa tion that attempts are being made to induce thu Tartars, and the Keeha, or naturalised Tartars, in Canton, who together number about 20,000 fight ing men, to be prepared to rise against the allies. A high Tartar officer in Canton, writing to an ac quaintance, gives it as his theory of the matter tnat the Tartars are bring stirred up by agents of the rebels and thieves, vho wish to it-jure the ban nermen and plunder the people as they remove their valuables from the city ; and he expresses an anxious wish that " the great general who is in K woon-yam-sham "—General S:raubmize—should adopt instant measures to prevent the Tartars being The explanation may not be worth any- AChinese who attempted to kill a European policeman in Canton has been executed. Tito English and French consuls have .taken up their residence on the Florian side of the river. The flags of their respective nations were hoisted under the usual salutes. From the North we have received* no conflrma tirn of the report of the taking of Nankin by the Imperialists. The rebels, it would appear, are again causing disturbances in the North, and seve ral towns are reported to have been taken by them. At Ningpo some excitement existed, as it was said the rebels were marching on Hangchow, in that neighbourhood. The state of the country stopped communication with the sea districts, and pre vented the usual arrangements for sending fonds into the intcriir for the purchase of teas being cAiried out. In the tea di. , :itrios which supply the Fcwhov.• maika it is said the rank or maraude:s have 4 .1 .0 n appeared in great CA.LUU Exports. --Sites the former date there has been a falling off iu shipments, and a limited busine:s has been done in produce tor Great Britain. Present stocks in the marke• are very small, anil holders have been induc#l to show ii..eat firmness in prices. The Americana have icsumetl business, but the effect cf the advicas from America lrA4 been such as to cause a great degree of caution in their operat ion. . . . - Imports.— We reported a fortnight ago that our market was unsettled consequent on the. simultaneous heavy ar- Hyatt; of twist and piece goods from home. Some favour able accounts being shortly after received from Fur rac!tabad and Mirzapore have caused an animation in our market especially ror grey shirtiugs and madapohams, which have bawl sold at a considerable improvement. Mule twist was in active inq dry for Lower Bengal and Macias; but the requirement having bean completEd, the market during the last three or four days has been rather dull and prices have receded 1 to 2 pie per morah. In metals the market for copper continues dull in the absence of buyers. Iron has been cold to a fair extent, but at rather lower prices: In 'a'.l other. metals there is little doing. Tha Money market continuos as easy as before, without much demand for accommodation. The Bank's rates re main unchanged. • Government securities have fluctuated a little ; they are not so easily obtainable is consequence of the almost daily transfer of the 4's into tie new loan. Exchange on London.—A moderate business has been dono for this mail. Some Treasury bills at 30 days' sight havo been sold at 2e. o: 2 d. to 2a, H., and Barings and other first class credits at •2s. ld. We have heard of but few transactions in document bills ; they are at 2s. lid. THE CHINA MARKETS. (From the China Mail of May 5.) Our dates from Shanghai come down to the 2Gth inst., and report a very inactive market indeed for all descrip tions of imports. There has been no arrivals from Eng land at Shanghae. The activity in silk noticed in our last had continued, and the settlements since the despatch of the previous mail had been upon: very large scale. Prices had declined 20 taels. Purchases during the month 6,000 biles. Of old silk a. large stock is still in the country. The new crop of silk is reported favourably of. Transactions in exchange had been limited, but rates were very firm, although no actual advance could be quoted. Bank bilis had been done at 6s. ld. ; first-class credits Gs. 2d. ; and documentary paper at 63. 3d. On Bombay the rate was Its. 292. Bullion remains without change. _ _ The tea business since the departure of the last mail had been very limited, as buyers were deterred by the ample figure at which it is now evident the export for the pre sent season will close. At Carlton, notwithstanding the alarm which existed at the date of our last issue, business has continued steady, and some articles of import, such as cotton and long ells, have been in good demand, at improving rates. Neverthe less, some alarm has of late been again excited by the pre sent very unsatisfactory condition of affairs, and although business relations endure, their basis is very insecure. Buyers of tea have not been less active than formerly during the past fortnight ; only one chop of new congou remains on market, with 65 chops of old tea, and as these latter are of unusually small size, it may be estimated that the real quantity available for purchase does not exceed 45 to 50 full chops. Arrivals of new season's congou are this year expected later than usual at Canton—say, in two or three months from the present time in consequence of the •-•-• , !7-d () , ,PI7PI unable to forward their remittances up-country - at so At Hong Kong, the only arrival from England has been the Taymouth Castle. Exchange has ruled as before ; Bank bills having been down MAL Sid., and the r a tes f or other paper renia . inirg uncWanged. On Indian the rate is 221. Bar silver is quoted per cent, premium. Opium lits been very quiet since our last advices, the fluctuations not exceeding 5 dols. tolo dols. FRANCE. PARIS, TUESDAY. The Emperor left St. Cloud this morning at ten o'clock for Plombieres. Baron de Hubner, the Austrian Ambassador, had an audience of the mperor yesterday at Sr. Cloud, and presented to his Majesty the Duke de Melzi, honorary chamberlain to the Archduke Ferdinand Maximilian, charged to present from his Imperial Highness an autoaraph letter to the Emperor.

The Movimento, Genoese paper, concludes its account of the restitution of the Cagliari to the Rubattino Company with the following para graphs : "The Administration accepted the restitution of its steamer, formally declaring that it received it as an act of justice, and reserving all its rights of claim for the forced inaction of the vessel (loss of her use), btfd ilition in which she was restored, for the alterations which might be shown by the comparison of the inventories made at the period of the delivering up at Naples with those made at the time of her departure from Genoa in June, 1857, for the consequences that might arise therefrom, as well as for the indemnities that should be due to the crew. " We learn that the behaviour of the iEnglish to Captain Sitzia and his crew on the occasion of conveying them kiln Salerno to the Cagliari was most praiseworthy for its exquisite kindnesF. We, on this account, return public thanks as well to Mr. Barbar as to all those English officers who thus paid homage to misfortune in the persons of the unhappy crew of the Cagliari." Mr. Barbar's departure from Turin was delayed a little in order that he might be presented to the King, who received him most graciously, and thanked him for his exertions in behalf of Sar nian subjects. He (Kr. Barbar) left Turin yester day afternoon, to return to the post at Naples, which he appears, from all accounts, to have filled with so much credit to himself and advantage to the public service during recent difficult circum stances. The Malta Times gives an account of the de parture of the Royal Albert, bearing the flag of Admiral Lord Lyons, which took place with some pomp, all the other vessels in the harbour manning their yards and loudly cheering. At the entrance of the port, H.M.'s steam gun-boat Vigilant fol lowed in the wake of the flag-ship, for the purpose of returning to Malta in advance of the Marl borough ship-of•the-line, bearing the flag of Vice- Admiral Fansha,we to whom the command was to be transferred at Gibraltar on the 25th. A Vienna letter of 25th, in the Cologne Gazette, says :—" Sir H. Eulwer, the English Ambassador to Constantinople, who the day before yesterday had a private audience of the Emperor, has since his arrival in this capital had several conferences with Count de Buol. The ambassador leaves this evening for his post." MARKET NEWS.—(rhis Day.) CORN EXCHANGE. Scarcely any English wheat was on offer in our market to-day. For all kinds there was a fair inquiry, and Mon. day's advance in the quotations was supported. There was a large show of foreign wheat. Holders, however, were very firm in their demands, but wc have no change to notice in prices. Barley and malt moved off slowly, at barely late rates. The show of foreign barley was good. We were well supplied with oats, which changed hands to some cstent, on former terms. Beans, peas, and flour were firm, and quite as dear as on Monday. ARIIIVALS THIS WIIHM. Wheat. Barley.

Curtious, PEESQUENON.—After the late thundersti r n a deposit resembling sulphur was observed in several r ry, ;‘- i this neiahonrhoocl. At Freeburn it lay on kb. e ,- 1 .• bO. l'C tU " ''' +ll of nearly half-an-inch. At Craigton-cottage, Lear Ktssocx, to, deposit was obierved on the top of water cauzht in a cask fr.ma the rcof of the house, like a thick cream. The sulphurous sub,tance was skimmed off and dried on a piece of flannel. When dry it was a fine p.)wder, and when thrown into the fire ignited exactly like gunpowder, making a slight fizzing noise. Unfortunately none was preserved beyond what was experimented on in this way. A boat at Craig ton was powdered all over with the carne substance ; a: d' a countryman living on the height near Kilmuir says that near his house, in the space of what an ordinary washing tub would cover, he could lift the powder with a spoon. The heavy rains have since washed it all away. —lnverness 09uritr. EAST NORFOLK ELEOTION. (From the Norwich Mercury of yesterday.) This morning opened with considerable anima tion. Vehicles, horses, and drivers, stood prepared at an early hour to do the bidding of the day, and bring those to the poll who had to be conveyed there. Two neat and commodious timber erections were constructed on the Castle Hill—one on each side of the Shirehall—the Coke- party occupying that on the north, and the Stracey party that on the south. Each polling place was divided into four cJinpartments, surmounted by distinct notifi cations for voters from various districts, in which compartment their votes would be received. If less bustle and less apparent excitement appeared to animate the throng of hangers on who hovered round or stood steadfast against the polling places, it was only because of the excellent arrangements made to preserve the peace, and afford every facility to all who had business to transact connected with the contest. Tile voting became eager, and as soon as the re turns could be obtained from Yarmouth and other places, the numbers were isued from Mr. Coke's committee room. Of course, the " issues" were not so frequent as is usual in elections for the city, and, indeed, there were only three or four declara tions of an official character throughout the day, from the reason that Coke's committee did not think it necessary to issue them piecemeal. Mr. Coke's committee rooms were the fountain of in telligence, for the only intimation that lite existed in Sir Henry Stracey's locality of Orford Hill, was a small placard placed on the front of the house whore the committee sat, with the numbers written upon it. About half-past eleven C. Crawshay, Esq., brought up a large body of votera in his carriage drawn by four horses, ornamented with large bunches of flowers. As the day wore on the excitement increased, and the Mercury office was beset by an anxious crowd to learn results by our own bulletins. We now give the general results up to three o'clock - , but a full description of the progress of the election throughout the day, with the numbers of tli‘.. po'l. in each of the &x polliny, places, District.
