CITY, Two o'CLocK7 The demand for discount accommodation, which has already increased, is expected to become more active during the next few weeks. At this season of the year it is generally observed that the re quirements of the mercantile community, who are preparing for the spring trade, absorb a larger amount of capital, and, on the present occasion, this feature is likely to be more fully developed than usual, because operations of late have been on a reduced scale, and the prospect exists of a rapid improvement in all descriptions of business during the spring. This impression is founded on the advices received from distant markets, whither a large proportion of our commerce is directed. In creased transactions may be looked for in all directions. Besides an active resumption of mer cantile intercourse with India and America, the opening of the Chinese ports, and the gold dis coveries in the Fraser River, are almost sure to stimulate the enterprise of the commercial public. The improvement of trade is not likely to be rapid or sudden, but progressive, and the augMented supplies of monerthat will be gradually drawn into profitable employment must tend, with the diversion of capital for joint stock undertakings, to diminish the easiness of the discount market, Which has been so long experienced. The effect, however, will be most beneficial, although it may lessen the buoyancy of the funds, for it is only by such means that a restoration of mercantile prosperity can be insured. Symptoms of an increased demand, and of a rising tendency in the charges for the negotiation of bills, are already visible, although the current quotations in Lombard street are 21 per cent., and the minimum at the Bank is maintained at 3 per cent. Money has been a " drug" in the market for many months, and all 'ho desire tq„see a return of active buSiness will regard with satisfaction a rise in the terms of dis count to what may be considered an average point, if they can be assured that the movement has been Produced by a legitimate extension of commercial enterprise. There were no withdrawals of gold from the Bank yesterday, but the remittances by the City of Baltimore and the Africa, amounting to £153,507, were purchased for transmission to the Continent. The Liverpool Cotton Market, yesterday, pre sented a steady apppearance, and 7,000 bales were disposed of at full rates. On the Stock Exchange a l. limited business was transacted in Railway Shares, b ut quotations slightly improved. The silver market is very firm, owing to the a rraugements in progress for the steamer which leaves for the East on the 20th.T,It is expected that sue will take out £400,000, being the largest remit tance for some time past. Bars are quoted ss. ltd. Per oZ., standard, and Mexican Dollars, ss. Old. Per oz. A strong feeling is expressed among the shipping Interest against the proposed troop line of steamers to India, via the Cape. Such an arrangement it 18 Contended would constitute a monopoly, which, °esides operating to the advantage of the Govern kent, would necessarily deprive shipowners, as a class, from taking part in the transport service of t he Government. The English Stock Market is rather flatter, but business is dull, and the fluctuation is merely frac tlonal. Consols are 98 to 981 for money, and 981 for the account. An unfavourable feeling is still cr eated by the prospect of an increased exportation :f specie. Bank Stock is firm, viz., 225 to 227.

SACRILEGE BY TWO POLICE-OFFICERS.—Yester day (Tuesday), Thomas Twaites and William Smith, both the Liverpool of the Liverpool police force, were brought up at Liverpo)l police-court, charged with hawing broken 14 to the church of St Paul, Pancras-park, on the prev:e is night; and with attempting to steal a large quantity of sur plices, prayer-books, and other valuable articles. From too evidence of Inspector Dod, it appears that the prisoner //lust 'have effected an entrance by breaking through th north transept window, as the inspector states that whil w,ing his rounds on Monday night, about 12 o'clock, hi attention was attracted to that part of the building by hear big anoise, not quite devotionttl, of some persons talking aloud, accompanied by hard knocks. He immediately exa mined the windows, and found the north transept window broken. He then went for some assistance, and had the church surrounded, while he went inside. On going to the v estry door he found it locked, but could see a ligh t g limmer inside: Eventually the door was opened, and the prisoners were, found inside, with two large bundles made up ready for carrying away. The cupboards had been ransacked, ,tie drawers opened and upset , the wine drank, and the ves try altogether appearing in the mos t com p lete disorder. On t he inspector asking the prisoners what they were doing Viere, they said, " If he did not shut up, they would dd. ' s ° ol l make him," at the same time holding out t wo hand- L terohiefs, in each of which there were slin g shot and stones, hiding, however, that resistance was useless , they were C taken into custody. Mr. Hornby, of the Dock-office, swore "" one of the prayer-books, and the sexton identified the remainder of the property ; after which the prisoners were c ommitted for trial. It is stated that one of the prisoners iR the beau of one of Dr. M'Neile's (the incu mbent of St. • Paul's) servants. DESTRUCTIVE FIRE.—The beautiful mansi on in t he occupation of the Bishop of Exeter, at Bishopsto we, oat a mile from Torquay, took fire on Sunday even 111g. ;The whole of one wing was speedily in a blaze. i7• B it was seen that this part of the building could not saved, every effort was directed to the preservation of the main building—a magnificent pile of architec ture in the It a li a n style—over which the wwarchitec ture,B blowi ng s t rong f ro m the eastward, swept the flames. with this view a number of navvies, some of the coast guardsmen, and other persons, immediately set to work to Eon down the housekeeper's and other rooms, and notwith fTMing that for two hours they were exposed to showers I?urning, flakes and to blinding volumes of smoke, the 2"ivas ultimately accomplished, and the main building, afteradto have difficulty, was preserved. The fire is have originated by the falling of some oil on the hot Plate of the stove, as one of the servants was engaged in triml4 ing the lamps, ,SIJAILE 211A.RKET.-(THIS DAY.) Railways. p a i d.

The " lovers of the leash" had a rare little day's sport in the Home Park, Hampton Court, on Tues day. Hares were abundant, and some of the "courses" produced quite a stir and an excitement. The morning was deliciously fine, and upwards of 700 persons, sportsmen and Cockneys " out for a day," watched the manoeuvres of the dogs. Every thing was admirably managed, and passed off in the pleasantest possible manner. The Home Park is one of the very best places of its kind for coursing in England, and in all probability the Champion Club meeting, which occurs next Tuesday and Wednesday, will be quite a triumph. Amongst the spectators were a few well-known racing men betting for the nonce to shillings and crowns. Some of the dogs were made prodigious " pots," and it was wonderfully amusing to notice the backers diving about and exclaiming, " I'll lay seven (shillings) to four on Chivalry Dame." The racing men made " books," but it must have been a bad game, for the favourite flag was hoisted after nearly every course. David Hughes was amongst the turf notabilities present, careering about on a little brown pony, with no traces of the leg in firmity which kept him so long out of the saddle. Little Reeves, of Epsom, and his father, the trainer, were also scampering about after the dogs, the former mounted on a pony scarcely big enough for " Barnum's Tom Thumb," and looking quite a pic ture of a light weight. Between the courses the. Liverpool Cup chances were canvassed among the turfites. Epsom thinks " Gorschill can't lose," while others were quite frantic in pleading the cause of the unaccountable Target. By-the-by, I may take occasion to state that the first number of Mr. W. H. Langley's Coursing Record opportunely made its appearance in the park, and copies were eagerly snapped up by the coursers. The book is exquisitely arranged, while the compiler's position, as turf and coursing editor of Bell's Life, will ensure its being an indispensable autho rity. The first day's racing at Liverpool was not brilliant ; the fields were weakish, and the encotrnters not interesting, but the performance of Blue Jacket for the Welter Cup has induced people to pay additional attention to the probability of a repetition of his success on Thursday. Opinions are somewhat diverse as to the merits of his Tuesday's perform ance, but sixteen pounds for his year to Satin stone, and an easy length, looks almost good enough to win. Blue Jacket has been backed for a deal of money, and if he is in the " form" when he made that enormous sensation at Epsom by beating Gemma di Vergy in the Craven Stakes, and sent people wild about his stable companion Tourna ment for the Derby, he ought certainly to carry off the Autumn Cup. My " advices" from Liver pool inform me that the horse looks and goes as well as a horse possibly can, and that his party are sanguine to a degree. In city circles " the Jacket," has become the " rage"—not more than " sixes to -one" being obtainable about him this morning. As he will have the advantage of George Fordham's masterly jockeyship, it would be perhaps difficult to select a more reliable cham pion. Special Licence, it is confidently believed, will repeat his last year's success, but the mysteri ous doings of his " party" relative to Blanche of Middlebie and the Cambridgeshire make one very cautious in dealing with the nominations of that clique. The horse is well enough in, and bear ing in mind that he last year won in a com mon canter, he is, on the strength of that performance alone, entitled to his position as first favourite. Target, if her exhbition of yesterday as accurate,'will not surely be sent to the post. Underhand is much fancied by some people, but I conceive the " elegant• little horse" will find the weight too much. Gorsehill does not occur to me to be of sufficient calibre. The French people talk very loudly of the chance of La Maladetta, nor are their hopes without some good foundation. Running at even weights with Sunbeam at Ascot she was beaten easily, it is true, but by no more than half a length. As the Leger winner gave 71b. and beating to Eurydice before the Cam bridgeshire, the Sunbeam " line" appears to be most reliable. Still it is averred that Sunbeam was " not herself " at Ascot, and that for that reason the French mare " won't do." At Baden Baden, how ever, La Maladetto. gave 51b. to Goelette, and beat her a head over two miles. Now, as Goelette was a good fifth for the Cambridgeshire, I am inclined to think that the achievement in Germany is not to be despised. In fine, my convictions are in favour of BLUE JACKET and LA MALADETTA. A FRESH MAN. LIVERPOOL AUTUMN MEETING.-TUESDAY. Handicap Hurdle Race, of 3 sows each, with 20 added.

After careful experi mental inquiries, they have come to the following conclu sions :-1. That in all cases, by careful firing alone, the pro duction of dense black smoke can be avoided and the quan tity of smoke of any kind m aterially reduced. 2. That with careful firing, combined with alterations of a simple and inexpensive kind (chiefly to regulate the admission and distribution of air) to ordinary furnaces, the quantity of smoke produced can be reduced to a degree altogether unob jectionable, and with considerable economy of fuel. 3. That by the adoption of Jukes's patent, which renders the supply of the furnace entirely independent of the fireman, the most perfect results are obtained; and that the addi tional expense incurred by its adoption is, in large works, re t u rned by the diminished consumption of fuel and the economy of labour and expense in attending to the fur nace. 4. That the consumption of smoke by ordinary river steamboats and steamtugs is perfectly practicable by methods similar in principle to those used for land furnaces. In of these inquiries and experiments, they have resolved forthwith to compel the manufacturers of the town to consume their 151:110ke, and are Colladellt of mum 141 143 101 103 97 1", 11 111 9 10 ,108 110 00 100 i die p i d ip 23 24 120 122 99 101 72 74 120 122 121 123 101 lot Stock Stock Stock Stock .Stock Stock 24 24& 102 104 101 103 28i 321 32934 30 42 1021 94 LINES LEASED AT FIXED RENTALS.

(Before the Lords Justices.) IN lIE HART'S TRUSTS-JUDGMENT. This was an appeal from a decision of the Vice-Chan cellor, Sir John Stuart. The testator, by his will, dated in 1848, bequeathed his real estates to trustees in trust for his mother for life, and out of the proceeds to pay to his second daughter (natural daughter) Herriot Anne Dale, deceased—(wife of the petitioner and appellant, and her executor and administrator, George Block, of Aldborough, in the county of Suffolk, carpenter and joiner)---50 0 ster ling when she should attain the age of 23 years ; the said legacy to carry interest every year after up to his mother's death, which interest should be paid toward the mainte nance, education, and support of the said natural daughter till she should obtain the age of 23 years. The legatee attained 21, was married and died in 1857, ender 23. The testator's motheidied in 1850. The Vice- Chancellor held 'the legacy contingent on the life of the legatee ; hence the appeal. _ Their lordships delivered judgment this morning. Lord Justice Knight Bruce and Lord Justice Turner were of opinion that the legacy was not a contingent legacy, but a vested legacy in the legatee on the death of the testator, and that the petitioner, her husband, and administrator, were entitled to payment of it. Their lordships observed that it was not only a legacy that was given by the testator to his daughter, but also the interest was given for her maintenance and education. Their lordships ordered payment of the legacy of £5OO, with costa, out of the funds in court, to the petitioner and appellant, the husband and administrator of the legatee. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT. (Before Mr. Commissioner Murphy.) IN RR SIR W. lIAGNAY, BART. This was a petition for protection on the part of Sir W. Magnay, Bart. Mr. Dowse opposed the application on the part of several creditors, and also for the directors of the Great Luxem bourg Railway Company, who had been inserted on the schedule as debtors. Mr. Sargood supported the insolvent. Mr. Dowse said he wished to take the opinion of the Court, whether the insolvent's petition-could be sustained. From the facts he should stats to the Court he thought he should be able to show that the Court had no jurisdiction. The learned counsel then entered into a long statement to prove that the insolvent, who had come before the Court as a non trader, was in fact a trader, and liable - to the bankrupt laws. After a long discussion, the learned Commissioner was of opinion that the Court had jurisdiction. The examination of the insolvent was then proceeded with, and had not concluded when we went to press. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day.) MARLBOROUGH-STREET. SINGULAR CABE OF ROBBERY..—An Davis, a respect able -looking female, was charged before Mr. Beadon with s t e aling a book of the value of 45. 6d., from the shop of Mr. Rymoll, bookseller, Oxford-street. The prosecutor said that about six the previous evening the prisoner came up to him at his door and asked if he purchased books. He told her he did, and she said she would go home and fetch some, and immediately after she left ho missed a volume, " The Camp and the Cutter." He then went after her and came up with her about 13 houses off, when he saw the book in her bosom, and on taxing her with stealing it, she said she was going to take it home to look at it and bring it bacK the next morning and pay for it. He told her at the station if she was respectable and gaveher address he would do nothing, but she reused to do so. Hornblow, 82 C, said on being searched at the station 17s. was found on her. In answer to Mr. Beadon, the prisoner said, at Devon shire, where she came from, they a ll owe d , people to take books home to look at, and she merely took the book to look at the pictures, and meant to bring it back. A young man at the shop told her that .was what they were there for. Mr. Beadon asked her whether she would give her address now. The prisoner said she lived at 19, King's-road, Chelsea, and that she had been to Sohe-square for some patterns for work. • The prosecutor said that, singularly enough, the next house to the one the prisoner had given as her address be longed to him. Mr. Beadon said he should remand her for a week. THAMES. STEALING A GOLD WATCll.—George Collins and George Wilkinson, two men who had the appearance of mechanics, were brought before Mr. Yardley, charged with stealing a massive gold watch value 95 guineas. Samuel Prohowski, a Polish Jew, carrying on business as a factor and outfitter, at 68, Ratcliffe-highway, said the prisoner Collins came to him last night, and, producing a gold watch, offered to sell it for 15 guineas. He laiew it to be worth more than that, and said, I do not feel justified in giving it you back. He then asked the prisoner where he bought it, and he said he purchased it of a man in Ports mouth for £9 or £l2. Ile asked the prisoner what he was, and he said ha would•not tell. The prisoner then went away, and soon afterwards returned with his companion, Wilkinson, who said, I know he bought the watch, its all right. He refused to part with the watch, and detained it, and sent to the Leman-street station-house. Deeble, a police constable, 195 H, said—From informa- tion I received I went to Prohowski last night and took possession of this large gold watch. The hands and glass are wanting, and I believe it has been stolen from the per son with considerable violence, for the ring is gone. I found the prisoners in Ship-alley, Wellelose-square, and said to Collins, I shall take you into custody, how did you obtain possession of the watch P The prisoner replied, I and my mate were walking along Portsmouth three weeks ago, and I bought it, and part of the money belonged to me and part to Wilkinson. I have been carrying the watch about me until this afternoon, and it being Lord Mayor's Day, I went into the city, and met a man and showed him the watch, and he said it was worth 15 guineas. That man was a watchmaker. Collins—l said I bought it of a man 40 years of age. Deeble—No, you said a man. I went to Mr. Arnold, the maker of tho watch, at No. 84, • Strand, this morning, and he immediately identified it, and said ho made it for a gentleman 15 years ago, and the cost of it was 95 guineas. The constable then produced a large double cased watch of the best gold, without glass or hands. The coat of arms of the owner, with the motto " Deus alet me," and his initials, T. W., were engraved on the outer case of the watch. Mr. Yardley—Can you produce the owner ? Deeble—Yes, sir, in a few days. Mr. Yardley—The prisoners are remanded for a week.

PRICE OF GOLD.—The !potation of gold at Paris is about per mille di s count, the short e xchange on London is 26-10 per M. On compa ring these rates with the Eng lish Mint price of £3 17s. 101 d per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold is 2-10ths per cent.:dearer in Paris than in London. By advices from Hamburg the price of gold is 42.5} per mark, and the short exchange on London is 13-41 per sterling. Standard gold at the English Mint price is therefore about 2-10ths per cent, dearer in Hamburg than in London. The course of exchange at New York on London for bills at 60 days' sight is about 110 per cent., which when compared with the Mint par between the two countries, shows that the exchange is slightly in favour of England ; and, after making allowance for charges of trans port and difference of interet, the present rate leaves a small profit on the importation of gold from the United States. THE SUFFOCATION OF A FAMILY AT NEWPORT. ---DEATH OF THE WIFE.—The death of the wife of Chrrles Webb, whose own decease and that of his children, with the inquest upon the bodies, have been given in this journal, occurred at the union workhouse on Saturday, making the fifth killed by the awful calamity. A n inquest was opened upon the body on Monday, before Mr. W. H. Brewer, but very little further evidence was gone into. The deceased was 35 years of age. A verdict was returned that she died from the effects of inhaliag carburetted hydrogen gas, AQUATICS. WHITE AGAINST CLASPER FOR £2OO. This great and interesting contest, which has caused so much excitement in sporting circles, was decided yesterday. The competitors for aqua tic honours were Thomas White, of Bermondsey, and Harry Clasper, of Newcastle-upon-Tyne, and the distance to be rowed was from Putney to Mortlake. The state of the river at the starting point was exceedingly picturesque —the banks on each side were crowded by the admirers of the men, who cheered them lustily as they rowed to their respective stations. Fortune smiled on White from the commencement of the con test by giving him choice of station, and he accord ingly selected the Middlesex side of the Thames. At fifteen minutes past three the men rowed to the centre of Putney-bridge, and 18 minutes past the hour, after a couple of abortive attempts, a beautiful start was effected. White's first stroke was a miracle—he seemed completely to lift his boat out of the water, the effect of which was to give him an immediate advantage over Clasper. In six minutes from leaving Putney-bridge White was off the Crab Tree two or three lengths in advance of Clasper. Hammersmith-bridge was next reached in 9 min. 13 sec., White increasing his lead. ; At Barnes (19 min. 13 seconds White, who had the race all to himself, frequently turned his head to witness his competi tor's vain, but plucky, attempt to overhaul him, but he (White) was now sure of victory, and the win ning post was reached in 23 minutes 12 seconds from the time of starting ; Clasper being about 130 to 150 yards to the rear. During the race it was evident that Clasper stood no chance with his opponent, who was by 25 years his junior ; but it must be confessed that, for a man who has seen forty-eight summers, he acquitted himself very creditably. At starting the betting was 2 to 1 on White, but in a few minutes after the race had commenced it was " a guinea to a gooseberry." The winning man rowed in a very beautiful boat, built by Jewell, of Newcastle, and Robert Bain, of Lambeth, furnished him with a pair of sculls worthy of the tiny craft. The race between Francis of Teddington; and Clasper's son over the same course, comes off to day. Francis is the favourite for the event. RAIL WAY INTELLIGENCE. GRAND TRUNK OF CANADA. Messrs. Peto, Brassey, and Betts, the contractors for the Victoria-bridge at 11Iontreal belonging to this company, have progressed during the past summer at a rate that gives hopes they may be able to open it for traffic in October, 1859, in stead of on the Ist of January, 1860, in ac cordance with the terms of their last contract with the directors of the company. It is estimated that if those two or three months can be gained they will probably make a difference in the receipts of the company for the second half-year of 1859 of from £70,000 to £BO,OOO, inasmuch as the Grand Trunk system would then consist of a continuous and unbroken line of railway communication of nearly 1,200 miles in extent be tween Chicago and the other great emporia of the Western States of America and the Atlantic sea board. By means of this system the immense produce of these regions would be conveyed with the certainty of its reaching its destination, and freed from those risks which now attend its carriage by water at the busiest period of the whole year, that is, the time between harvest and the stoppage by ice of the great inland navigations. The following statement will give an idea of the extent of the operations in progress on the Ist of October last. There were then employed 3 locomotives, 17 pump ing, hoisting, and stationary engines ; 3 rivet making machines, 2 riveting machines, 5 steamers, of 365 collective nominal horse power and 645 tons burden, with 56 men for their crews. These steam ers are principally employed on the river St. Law r2nce and the adjacent lakes, towing 63 barges (ofthe united tonnage of 8,436 tons, and with crews of 319 men), which carry the building stone, iron bridge work, timber, wood, sand, and other materials required in the construction of the bridge. Besides the barges, there are 21 " scows," with a tonnage of 1,550 tons, which are required for hoisting tim ber, &c., and also 27 ferry and row boats, with crews of 75 men, which are employed in rafting timber, conveying iron work, messengers, time keepers, foremen, &c. From the foregoing it will be seen that the total number of craft employed is 116 ; the nominal horse-power 365 ; the tonnage (exclusive of that of the ferry and row boats) 10,691 ; the crews4so men. The nsml: er of hands engaged in the.work on Oct. 1 was 3,281, apportioned as fol low :—Fitters and smiths, 153 ; riveters and platers, 421 ; carpenters, 280 ; masons and stonecutters,326 ; painters, 19 ; labourers, 1,331 ; raftsmen, 49 ; boys, 75 ; crews of steamers and barges, 450 ; men em ployed at the Canada works, Birkenhead, in the construction of tubes, 477. There were also em ployed on the bridge 142 horses. The bridge con sists of 23 spans of 242 feet each, and one in the centre of the river of 330 feet. The spans are approached on each side of the river by a causeway, each terminating in an abutment of solid masonry 240 feet long and 90 wide. The causeway from the north banks is 1,400 feet long, that from the south bank is 700 feet. The total length of the bridge is two English miles, less 150 feet. RAILWAY CALLS.

GREAT BANQUET TO BRIGHT AND GIBSON AT MANOHESTER.-A meeting was to be held at the League Rooms, Manchester , last evening, to make arrangements for a banquet, :to beheld at the Free-trade Hall, to Messrs. Bright and Gibson "to congratulate the hon. member for Birmingham on hi ' s restoration to health ; to celebrate the return of himself and his late colleague to parliament for Birmingham and Ashton • and to thank them for their pa triotic conduct during the last session of parliament, as well as for their long and faithful services as representatives for the city of Manchester." Upwards of six hundred gentle men have already sent in their names as willing to act on the committee, including Mr. Joseph Crook, M.P., Mr. R. N. Philips, M.P. ' Mr. George Hadfield, M.P., Sir E. Armitage, and most of the leading liberals of the city. It was expected the banquet would be fixed for either the 9th or 10th of December, those being the only days on which the Free-trade Hall could be had prior to the meeting of parliament. From the great number of names already on the.committee, it is feared that even the limits of the Free trade Hall will not afford space for all who will apply for tickets, RUSSLIN A IN CHINA, TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES. Sir,—As there seems to be a good deal of confu sion in the accounts which Teach Europe of the new territory acquired by Russia in the extreme east of Asia, I beg to offer the following remarks in the hope they may throw some light on the subject. In the abstract of the new treaty framed by Gen. Mouravief with the Chinese Covernment, and copied into the columns of the Times from an Ame rican paper, it is stated that the new frontier line between Russia and China is to be the 48th parallel of latitude east of the river Usuri, and to the west ward of that, the river Amoor. From the China papers recently received, how ever, it appears that " the left bank of the Amoor is ceded to Russia, as well as the coast territory on the right bank of the Usuri, north of the 43d pa rallel of latitude." The two accounts, therefore, differ most materially. If the latter statement be correct, Russia has annexed a territory second to none in the world for richness of soil and mineral wealth. You will observe, from the recently pub lished Admiralty chart, that this coast line includes a series of harbours which, from actual observation, may be stated to be most commodious and pecu liarly adapted for defence. In latitude 43 deg. sm. are two gulfs extending some way to the northward from Victoria Bay. It was here found that the natives were in possession of gold to a considerable amount, which they' ex changed for buttons, &c. From a French sailor who had lived among the people a little to the northward, we gathered that there are abundant gold mines in the neighbourhood, worked during certain times of the year with ease, and without any machinery. At Sybille Bay, in 44 deg. 40m. the country is rich beyond belief. Extensive forests of oak and birch spread over the uplands, the soil teems with wild fruits and flowers of every description, while deer and wildfowl offer the strongest inducement to the sportsman to shoulder his gun. When we were there, in the ship which gave its name to the bay, the natives were burning down the oaks and other trees as fast as they could, to bring the land under cultivation. They were evidently Chinese settlers, very distinct from the rude tribes a little to the northward. We had one or two conversa tions with some of them (if a. correspondence car ried by writing Chinese characters with a stick on the sand may be so called), from which we learnt that they considered themselves Chinese subjects (" chung kwoh jin"), and that there was a large town or village a little way to the westward, where a Mandarin resided. At Bullock Bay, lat. 45 deg. 5 min., we found abundance of oxen, under charge of certain Chinese herdsmen, who, however, willingly sold the beasts for a pecuniary consideration. So much for the territory between the parallels of 43 deg. and 48 deg. Supposing Russia has ab sorbed this, I do not hesitate to say she has ac quired a territory of unequalled richness and fer tility, and a succession of harbours for her ships, capable of affording them the securest shelter, and placed at most convenient distances. If the territory, however, is to reckon from the 48th parallel, she has not gained somuch. Between Fish River, in 48 deg., and Low Cape, in 48 deg. 30 min., the coast is unsurveyed ; but a little to the northward—viz., in 49 deg., is a splendid har bour, called in our chart Barracouta-harbour, but by the Russians, I believe, Imperial Bay. It was here we discovered, in May,lBs6,theburnt remains of the Russian frigate Pallas. She had been burnt in the early spring by the Russian garrison to the edge of the ice, in hopes that before we arrived the thaw would have begun and she would have sunk in deep water, leaving no trace behind to tell the story of fate, but we happened to arrive in time to find her as she was, and to be able to save the Russians the trouble of keeping a secret. The ice in this bay did not break up in 1856 till the end of May. The inhabitants are " fish-skin Tartars," or Ghiliaks, who pay a sort of tribute to the Man choos, and live on the fish and game which abound in their districts. The Russians had built two strong forts here, and had left some 27 of their dead countrymen behind them, decently buried, and with small wooden crosses over their graves, from the inscriptions on which we learned that there had been a settlement here from about 1852. The na tives spoke of them as " Loochas," and by their gestures, &c., described them as having suffered very much from sickness and privation. Several smaller bays exist between this and Cas tries, of which I need not speak. The whole of this coast is subject to very severe winters, the ice setting in about November, and not breaking up till May or June. Of " Castries Bay" enough is known to the public from the excellent survey of La Perouse. I will only add that the Russians expressed themselves very strongly as to the bad holding ground of this anchorage, although we never found their representations borne out by our experience there. Casties Bay is only a few miles from Lake Kisi, which communicates with the Amoor close to Niel' olovski. - Will you allow me to say a word with reference to the annexation of the northern portion of the island of Saghalien, effected by Count Putiatine in his treaty with Japan ? The 2d article of that treaty, ratified in December, 1856, declares " that Saghalien remains, as heretofore, joint property of Russia and Japan." We have here an instance "of a diplomatic ruse not unfrequently practised ; Saghalien never was the property of Russia ; it has always been claimed by China, and is under the Colonial-office at Pekin, but within the immediate jurisdiction of the authorities of Petune (in Man chooria). It served Russia's turn, however, to " beg the question," and by an easy figure of speech to cover the weakness of her cause. Suffice it, how ever, Russia has got the north of Saghalien, and with it a territory abounding with coal. From Bay d'Estaing, in lat. 49. deg., to Jonquere . Bay, in 51 deg. north, veins of coal crop out at intervals, and the whole sea beach is covered with fragments of it. I brought home specimens of this coal,and have submitted them to t he anal y sis of Mr. Orland, chemist, of this town, who declares the mineral to be of excellent quality and highly bituminous. Thus briefly I have stated a few facts in refer ence to this territory, the whole of which was visited by our ships in 1855-56. m Russia has cer tainly a most interesting future in store for her. What with the gold of Siberia, the rich pastures of Manchooria, with . its rivers and bays, and th e coal-fields of Saghalien, we may safely sp e ak o f the destiny of this immense empire in the East as grand beyond our power to comprehend. Plymouth, Nov. 8. THIS DAY'S MARKETS. A very limited supply of English wheat was on offer here 1.-day, coastwise and by land carriage. The demand was less active than cn Monday, nevertheless that day's prices were well supported. We were extensively supplied with foreign wheat, but the quantity fresh to hand is under 5,000 quarters. All kinds were held firmly, at very full prices, but the business done was limited. Floating cargoes of grain sold at full prices. Fine barley sold steadily—other kinds slowly, on former terms. There was a moderate sale for malt, at full prices, but oats, owing to large arrivals from abroad, were the turn lower. Beans, peas, and flour realised Monday's currency. ARRIVALS THIS WEEK. Wheat.
