After some evidence had been given, Mr. Maxvc ell, solicitor for Captain Mabb, pro posed to have his client examined on oath. Mr. Cumberland, solicitor for the Board of Trade, objected to having the captain sworn. He con sidered that the proper course to pursue would be to hear his statement for what it was worth. This course he thought more favourable to the man than hearing him on oath. The Court wished to hear the opinion of the secretary to the South-Western Company. Mr. Crombie, in reply, said that the object of the company was a full public inquiry into the truth of the affair, and he would leave the court to decide as to whether they would hear the captain on oath or otherwise. The Court having decided not to hear the state ment on oath, , te ne u t C company n om ot pan y havingthec oni l s n e a r n v c i di c ie e adr o g f e soothert of f e tShdeusEtiliixi-plpirroeefss Express, Captain Mabb said th a t h e h a d b een 18 years i n b re g ular e l o y ar ed ; merely off and on. Prior to having Express had never had permanent command. Had his certificate granted as master in 1858. Received his appointment to the Express from Mr. Green. Had sailed between Southampton, Weymouth. Jersey, Guernsey, and France, for the whole 18 years. Had made the passage upon which the ship had been wrecked many times as mate and master. Was well acquainted with the passage between the Fouquies and the Bon; that is the passage always made, and he did not, as alleged, go between the Fouquies and the mainland: The rock was on the starboard side of the vessel. Before he passed the Fouquies rock the ship struck. When the ship struck he ordered by putting up his left hand the helm a starboard, but she did not answer the helm quick enough. Had been closer to the rock on fornier occasions. Had never had a certificate to act as pilot. Was well acquainted with the Jaileur pass, and could not have mistaken the Bon for the Fouquies Rock. Was . perfectly acquainted with that particular part of the coast. Had served his time at sea, and had been ten years in the mail service between Jersey and Weymouth. Testimonials as to the manner in which Cap tain Mabb conducted himself on the unfortunate occasion, as well as to his general character as a seaman and mastcr in command, having been handed in, Mr. Maxwell, on behalf of the captain, made some observations as to the discrepancies in the evidence of several witnesses, which he attri buted to the usual mistakes of persons on such oc casions'of excitement s,nd alarm. The court retired at 4 o'clock, and upon reassem bling' at five Mr. Bernard, the presiding commis sioner, said that they had gone over the evidence very carefully, but as there was a difference of opinion they had resolved to submit the whole case to the Board of Trade for its consideration, and for that purpose the court would stand adjourned for a week. INQUEST ON ONE OF THE SUFFERERS. SOUTHAMPTON, Saturday. The inquest opened at St. Helier's, Jersey, upon the body of Mr. John Bursell, a passenger on board the Express steamer, was concluded yesterday afternoon, The vessel, it may be remembered, left Jersey between six and seven o'clock on the morn ing of the 20th ult., with 150 prssengers on boa r d, and shortly after . seven o'clock she s t ruc k upon a h rock called Heyer, off 'the island ; she was then run ashore, and became a wreck. The steamer was in charge of Captain Mabb, and who was on the bridge when she struck. The weather was fine and clear, and it was averred that the channel she was pursuing was not the most safe course she could take. After a protracted investigation, which occupied three days, the jury found the following special Verdict :—" That the body is that of Mr. John Bursell, late of Bickmarsh, in the county of Warwick, England, aged about 42; they said Mr. Bursell was drowned on the 20th of Septem ber, 1859, near the Corbiere, in consequence of the shock experienced by the steamer Express in striking against some rocks situated near that termed La Fouquies, which was fol lowed by the total wreck of the said vessel, on board of which the said Mr. Bursell had embarked as a pas senger; that the loss of the Express was the result of culpable imprudence and ignorance on the part of Capt. Robert Charles Mabb, then commanding the said vessel on her voyage towards Guernsey, by need lessly steering her through a dangerous passage out of the usual route, and not having at the time a pilot on board, and not being himself a licensed pilot ' • and the members of the jury strongly recom mend the competent authorities of this island, in order to avoid greater calamities, to put into execu tion the law, which enacts that every vessel leaving the island, with passengers, shall take a licensed pilot on board." : t: CAMPAIGN WINE.—In his interesting letters from Italy M. Bertheraud gives as a cause of diseases among the French army the abuse of adulte rated liquors. He gives the following receipt for the ma nufacture of campaign wine : —Take water from the ne arest ditch, alum, beet-r& •t juice, potato, brandy or any other cheap product of spirit di s tilation, of each as much is owrnthsy e of requisite. eieabny ration T himenpmof ran i s o whole in an old wine cask.

The All England Club commenced their cricket match - with Twenty-two of the United States at Hoboken on the 3d. The Eleven won the toss for innings, -but sent in the Twenty-two first. They gave way to the Eleven in two hours, having scored but '3B. At five o'clock the stumps were drawn, 82 mai having been made . by the All England Eleven, and ,two wickets only liming gone down— viz., Hayward, 32 ; Carpenter, 26 ; Wisden, 3 ; Parr,. 5; byes', widen, and no balls, 16. On the 4th the' game recommenced, Parr - and Hayward, of the English Eleven, being at the wickets, to the ing of Messrs. Gibbs and Hollis, of the St. George's and New York Clubs. The score was 156. The United States then began their second• innings, scoring 35. Play WfIS stopped at 5 o'clock, when the 22 . of the United States ' ware 83 behind their opponents, with only 7 wickets to go down. The American players were delighted and astonished with the skill of the English players. On the 23d ult.,. Messrs. La Mountain and Had dock ascended from Watertown, and, not having been heard of for some days, it was believed that they had lost their lives., Happily, they were heard from on the sth inst. The 'New York Tri bune briefly describes their adventure : " La MOuntain and Haddock arc safe at Ottawa (Bytown) in Canada. They landed about 150 miles north of Ottawa in the great Canadian Wilderness, at a point about 50 miles west of Lake St. John, the head of the Saguenay River, and about midway between the St. Lawrence River and James's Bay. The place is about 300 miles north of Watertown, so that they must have had a northerly current. This disproves the story of the balloon having been seen 50 miles south-cast of Watertown, over St. Lawrence county, unless the current suddenly changed. La Mountain telegraphs that he has lost everything. They were four days without food and without the means If making a fire.. They were fortunately discovered by Mr. Cameron, who was looking for timber, probably along the head waters of the Gatineau River. Indian gudies were found, who brought them down to Ottawa in bark canoes. They were less than five hours in the air, and must have landed about 'lO o'clock at night, having travelled at the rate'of a mile a minute, the balloon being from four to five miles firm the earth. This extraor'dinury voyerre due north strikes a hard blo:N-ati, the favourite theory of a steady easterly eurrQnt in the tipper st rata of the atmosphere. Ten hours further travel in their direction would have Frank `.in is suppos e d t o h ave brought th em t o t h e po i nt where Sir John Frank perished." A despatch from Washington states that Lord Lyons had a protracted interview with the'Secre tary of State on the Ist, and says : "The English Government has not yet made known its views to our Government respecting the San Juan affair. Until that is done, of course, the Administration will not move in the matter. The next arrival from Europe will probably bring something from her Majesty's Government in re gard to the matter." The overland California mail of the 12th ult. reached St. Louis on the 4th, but does not bring any advices from Vancouver. A correspondent of the Nato Fork Times writing from Olympia, Washington, on the 21st of August, respecting the San Juan dispute, says : " General Harney is severely condemned by the most intelligent and educated of our countrymen on the spot for this action, on the ground that, no matter how clear and indisputable may be our title to the island, as long as it is a subject of contro versy or correspondence between the two Govern ments, or their commissioners, it is disputed terri tory, and neither party has a right to sole and exclusive occupancy or jurisdiction over it. Our companies here. are weak in men and weaker in officers, there being but one officer to each company. Waggon-road expeditions, boundary survey, and arrests have consumed their force: Had a collision taken place before August 10, the ' enemy' could have wiped us ont.' We are indebted to the for bearance and magnaminity of the English naval officer for the continued peace between the two countries. General Harney, who is here called Goliah,' for two reasons—first, that he is a very large man ; and second, that he is all matter and no mind—ought, I think, to be court-martialed and dismissed the service for his conduct in this case. In Europe he could not have retained his commis sion a minute after the flagrant and outrageous act was known to the Government. The man is not half so fit to be a general as to be hostler of a livery stable. It is said the General's real object is political popularity, with the insane idea of using the same at the Charleston Convention a la Taylor and Pierce." According to the St. John's (New Brunswick) Morning News the people of Newfoundland aro looking with anxiety for the result of the Anglo- French fisheries commission. Despatches received at the Washington State Department from Costa Rica state that the follow ing Cabinet had been formed : Minister of the Treasury—Don Vicente Aguilar, the Rothschild of Costa Rica. Minister of the Interior—Don Julian Volio, nephew of the Bishop. Minister of Foreign Affairs—Don Jesus Jeminez, said to bo the ablest man in the Republic. The Provisional President had issued the follow ing address : " Fellow-Citizens.—The spontaneous motion of the nation has called me to preside temporarily over their destiny, and I, at the sacrifice of my private life, shall fulfil the exalted mission con fided to me, and give the country such liberal institutions as may . combine with order and pear, to guide it to progress, the object after which it aspires. "Let us return thanks to the Almighty, who deigned to change our situation without violence, without a single drop of blood having been shed, or a single priming burxt. " Let us also acknowledge the important services of, and return the most expressive marks of grati tude to, our honourable and gallant soldiers, and more especially to their heroic chiefs—Don Lorenzo Salazar and Don Maximo Blanco. " May public felicity, liberty, with order and pro gress, be the reward of your fellow-citizens and friends. " JOSE MARIA MONTEAGELA. " National Palace, San Jose, Aug. 14, 1859." The despatches state that the now order of things was hailed with enthusiasm by the other provinces of tho Republic. Several liberal decrees had been issued. From La Guayra we learn that on the 14th ult. the French consul was expelled the country. The Government appears to be prevailing over the rebels. COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

How A METHODIST PREACHER BECAME CHAPLAIN TO CoNcluEss.—Mr. Milburn was appointed by the confer ence to collect money on behalf of the colleges at Illinois ; his success in this capacity was very small, but it led to his being appointed chaplain to Congress for his boldness in rebuking the profanity and intemperance of several of its members whom be encountered on board a steamer. This incident, equally honourable to all parties, was of much ser vice to Mr. Milburn by enabling him to study rhetoric from the first speakers of the - country.—. Literary Gazette. THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 17, 1859. INDIA AND CHINA. By the arrival of the Calcutta Mail we have received our private correspondence and files of papers from Calcutta to the 9th of September, and from Hongkong to the 24th of August. INDIA. We learn from Calcutta that the Income-tax had passed through a second reading. The discharged troops were arriving at Calcutta, and shipped off as fast as supplies could be obtained. A battery of nine guns had been erected to command the liver entrance of Rangoon. There had been a disturbance in Central India, at Mundleseer, which is said to have been caused by the rebel chief, the Delhi Prince Feroze Shah. He is reported to have made an attack on the station, releasing no less than 700 men confined in the gaol at that station. Captain Hawes, the recently appointed Political Agent, was killed. A force has been ordered from Bombay. "It is not impos sible," says a local paper, " but that a few raids of the same kind may occur on the frontier of Oude, where the Nana, Bala Rao, and the Begum con tinue to find a refuge with numerous followers; This is the only vitality remaining in the rebellion, and which would have been ended ere now' but for the duplicity of Jung Bahadoor. He is angry at the treatment he has received ; like all Asiatics, he ex aggerates enormously the aid he has rendered, and seems to have proposed to himself the most prepos terous rewards." The shareholders of the North-Western Bank have intrusted the winding up of their affairs to Mr. G. H. Fcrgussen, controlled by a committee of two shareholders, Mr. Gubbins and Col. Davidson. CHINA. HONG KONG, AUG. 24. By Shanghai a,dvices we •learn that a Russian gunboat had brought news of the American Mini ster's arrival at Pekin. No letters had been re ceived, and consequently nothing further had tran spired. It was also reported that he was expected at Shanghai about the 24th inst.; we may therefore be enabled to give some interesting details by the next outgoing mail. The reception of Mr. Ward is a most politic stroke by the Cabinet of Pekin, but it does not at all remove the treachery to our Minister. It appears that General Mouravieff, the Governor of Siberia, had also arrived at the Peiho, and special messengers had been despatched to the Russian Minister at Pekin ; his presence excites some sur prise. The Russians appear to have a perfect under standing with the Chinese authorites. Order had been re-•established at Shanghai, and confidence among the respectable portion of the Chinese community. The French Minister had deemed it expedient to release all the Coolies on board the Gertrude, and the Taoutae had proceeded on board that vessel to carry out §uch determina tion. A eurious circumstance was, that there was not a single Shanghai man on board, and hence the question naturally arises, whence the kidnapping P We do hope, however, that the Coolie trade, if to be continued, will be conducted core openly. There was no justification on the part of the Chinese rabble to commit the wanton murders that resulted, and we hardly think that the foreign authorities have been firm enough on this point. There seems, however, to be no farther apprehension of danger. We have later dates from Jeddo, but Me. Alcoek had made no progress in respect 'to the currency question, and trade consequently was in abeyance. We hope to be able to give some information on the disputed points by next opportunity. Her Majesty's steamer Sampson had arrived, and was to remain at Shanghai. Her Majesty's steamer Highflyer had proceeded to Nagasaki to take Mr. Hodgson to Hakodadi, and would then return to Jeddo. A French gunboat has just arrived from Turon, and reports negotiations proceeding favour ably ; it is reported, however, that there is great opposition on the part of the Cochin Chinese Government in reference to religious freedom. We write advisedly, as the facts may never transpire for public information. From what we leArn we hardly expect any resumption of hostilities ; indeed, the French Admiral has sent reinforcements of troops and gunboats to Canton. At Canton all re mains quiet, with every prospect of its continuance. Our dates from the ports are—Axaoy, 18th inst. ; Foochow, 15th inst. ; and Shanghai, 15th inst. The London mail of the 11th of July reached on the 22d inst., per steamer Ganges. We received at the same time from Marseilles the intelligence that peace had been concluded. The Granada leaves at 2 p.m. to-day with the outward mail. (From the Overland China .31ai1.) From the North of China we have the important intelligence that Mr. Ward, the A.merican minister, has been courteously received by the Chinese au thorities, and has entered Pekin, where he was to exchange the ratified treaties. An officer who ac companied him a portion of thee way says that "the Chinese authorities were very polite and con descending," and that they asserted their Govern ment was prepared and anxious to receive all the Ministers in a peaceful and courteous manner. Courts-martial have been held. on Commander Wodehouse and the officers and crew of her Ma jesty's despatch boat Cormorant, an Lieutenant W. H. Jones and the officers and crerw of the Lee, and on Lieutenant A. E. Douglas, with the officers and crew of the Plover, which threes vessels were en- tirely lost in the engagement at Taku. All of them were aquitted. Captain Sh adwell has been relieved in his duties as senior naval officer at Shanghae. Admiral Hope's despe.tche i s, containing an account of the Taku affair, win ere allowed to re main at Shanghae, under the chof •ge of this officer, till after the mail left, though th f afterwards over took it at Singapore in a private lateamer. It is rumoured, but on no go, at i authority, that the Russians exchanged ratilspations with tho Chinese more than two months ago. General Mouravieff, the Governor-Guneral of Eastern Siberia, has paid a visit to the mouth of the Peiho, and was about to be followed tl tore by no less than four Russian gun-boats. It w&v; not known what was the object of assembling so lt trge a force at the mouth of the Peiho, as he appel tr ed to be on good terms with the Chinese authority es. (From the Overland Frien t? of China) Matters have settled down sit Shanghae again. Three of our men-of-war cruise, unmolested in the Gulf of Pecheli, and at all the et insular ports mat ters are quiescent. At Canton - we could not be on more amicable terms with the - .llinese Government, as thus told by our correspon. 112 nt :—"Everything here appears to promise a co ainuance of peace. The examinations - are going ( Kt quietly ; the diffi culty experienced lately in •getting servants has disappeared ;no offensive hand ills have been pub- lished as might have been exp ec ted ; and to dissi pate any remaining floating ri in lour, Lao (Lao not Soa) has brought out a pr( )0 lamation, acknow ledging the benefits wrought, by foreigners since their entry into the city, 13rOclaiming that his amicable relations with the n. are unaltered, and forbidding the fabrication or ra-tertainment of idle tales. Tea continues to flow tlown in a strong con- tiuuous stream, but it is salt I. - that in consequence of the numerous stoppages U which it has been subjected on its way, much e 3 :traneous matter has got mingled with it, and that if tea tasters are not very careful, the good folks at ; home may have the pleasure of paying freight, duty, &c., on leaves which they might as easil, y have got at home. And while talking of what "has come down, we must not forget to mention that Imperial edicts anent the Tient-sin affair are said to have arrived, stating that it was quite L. rnpremeditated, and solely the result of the unres a enable conduct of the English in refusing to awf ;i't instructions from Pekin ; and not only directing Lao to maintain his former amicable relations, :but declaring that HIM, will, should they repeu . ,f;,, admit them even now, and, in proof of his sincerity, that he has ordered the Americans to be escorted up." The American Minister, Mr. Ward, has succeeded in reaching Pekin ; and will, it is expected, be able to send home his finally ratified treaty by the next mail. As one clause in this treaty gives the Unitcd States liberty to tender their good offices in any difficulty between the Chinese Government and the Western Powers, we may bG sure that Mr. Ward will not be long in putting that liberty into practice. A correspondent of our northern contemporary, writing fiom on board the' American chartered steamboat Toey-svan, at anchor in the Peh-tang river stream, to which the Chinese wished Admiral Hope to proceed before. the Taku affair—tells of the arrival there, from Pekin, on the Ist inst., of a Russian courier, with despatches for General Mora vieff, Governor of Siberia; these despatches being from the Russian Minister at Pekin. Count Moravieff himself reached the Peh-tang river on the 14th ult. in the Russian steamer America : or rather he reached the Gulf on the 14th, and was afterwards conveyed into the Peh tang by the American steamer Toey-wan, kindly placed at his disposal by the United States Com modore "for the purpose of communicating with the Chinese." Of American movements he says : "The junk had mandarins on board who brought a letter from the Government of the province of Chihli, appointing the 8h for an interview with Mr. Ward ; accordingly, on the morning of the Bth we went to the river which we had seen on our former visit; it is about six miles to the northward of the Peiho; and is named the Pehtang, after the village at the entrance. There is a bar at the mouth with from ten to twelve feet of water on it at high water, but the river deepens to four and five fathoms inside ; there is a fort on each side, and a few troops stationed here. Several mandarins came on board when we got inside the bar, and de sired us to anchor, which we did about two miles below the town; and Mr. Ward, the commodore, and Members of the legation went up in junks, fitted up for the occasion. During the interview the governor several times alluded to the battle at the Peiho, and appeared to be desirous of saying something in extenuation of the course pursued by them, but said nothing about our being there; he also asked why the English and French Ministers had left the Gulf, and what they intended doing, &c. Mr. Ward told him that he came there to at tend to his own business, and knew nothing about the English and French. The answer arrived from Pekin on the 14th, giving our Minister permission to go there. Arrangements Were made for travel ling by the Chinese, to the satisfaction of Mr. Ward, and 'he sterted on the 20th with the mem bers of the legation, and the following officers of the Powhattan : —Lieutenants Trenchard and Habersham, Surgeons Fox and Sanford, Captain (M. G.) Taylor, Purser Gallaher, Engineer Shock, Chaplain Wood, and Secretary Allmand." Another correspondent writes :—" On the very day the last English vessel took its departure a Chinese official requested us to inform the English that two prisoners were seized on the night of the battle, one of whom was wounded, and to request them (the English) to send their surgeon Li-tuh (Little) to visit him. Our announcement that the French and English had all taken their departure seemed both to surprise and alarm them. We offered to receive the two men or to send our sur geon to visit them, but after a great deal of pre tended willingness but actual evasion, they refused to accede to either of our propositions. The wounded man, according to their statement, is an officer, by name Chili-Maka-shans, the other quite young, by name Kiang-shi-p'u. Such are the Chinese sounds. Perhaps the friends of these poor fellows might be able to identity them. The wound is riot severe. It is the intention of the Chinese to take good care of them and return them to the English when a good opportunity offers. My own opinion is that they wished in this way to open fresh communications with the English, in the hope of averting by diplomacy that retribution which they have every reason to expect." Notwithstanding the non-arrival of Sir Hercules Robinson, it is understood that Lieut.-Col. Caine, who, since Sir John Bowring left, has filled the post of Governor here, proceeds to England. COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. THE CALCUTTA MARKETS, SEPT. 9. The telegram containing London news of the 3d of August reached Calcutta, via Bombay, on the 26th ultimo, Letters and papers of this date were brought by the Bombay express, and delivered on the sth inst. On th e 3d t h e telegram from Galle brought us intelligence to the 10th of August. The letters and papers of this date were delivered this morning. _ _ The Produce Market.—The produce market has been very quiet during the fortnight under review, and we believe it will continue so until the value of almost all the articles of export goes down. The indigo accounts from all the growing districts are more unfavourable. Sugar only in demand for Bombay and other ports. Saltpetre dull and little doing. Raw silk in less demand and value droop ing. Corahs in fai r d eman d a t full prices. Oil seeds in small inquiry. Hides tend downwards. Import Market.—After the last report the posi tion of the market became gradually more stagnant, and prices of every description of goods have again fallen off considerably. Sales in the bazaar have been very limited compared with the very heavy arrivals, which added more to the very large stock already existing. Mule twist was sold more freely a few days ago, but owing to the anxiety of sellers to realise, prices of all numbers and qualities have sustained a rather heavy fall. The prospects of the future position of the market are doubtful, and there is little hope of a speedy improvement in de mand or prices. Metals.—There is little or no alteration to report in this staple. Stocks are increasing, and prices for iron scarcely maintained. Copper is well maintained at former prices, say 44 rs. per md., with buyers. Government securities remain almost without in quiry. The Bank of Bengal sold two or three lacs of the 5 per Cents. at 11-8 discount ; the 4 per Cents. have not been dealt in, notwithstanding the Go vernment notification that the interest upon them could be made payable ii England ; the same pri vilege has been prevented to the 3 and 34 per Cents. Joint-Stock Shares.—There has been but a limited business doing since our last; our quotations are much the same. India General Shares and Steam Tugs are rather lower, and are in little request. Coal shares maintain their value. Dock shares are at 750, and Bonded Warehouse shares in quired for. Assam shares are wanted, but none available. The Auction Company have declared an other diridend of 10 per cent. per annum, carrying a considerable amount to a reserve fund. Bengal Bank shares are in better request, but in other shares there is nothing doing. Exchange—Since the departure of the last mail exchange on London has been steady at from 2-02 to 2-01 for bank bills. To-day, however, two local banks came in as sellers at 2-0:, and about two lacs of China-drawn bank bills have been sold at the same rate. Credits have brought 2-0 a to 241, and documentary 2-01 to 2-1. The amount of business transacted for the mail has been moderate. On China the rate has been no minally 228 ; on Bombay at sight 1 per cent. Money-market—Money continues very abundant; the Bank of Bengal and the local banks have large amounts unemployed. The rate of interest on Go vernment security is from 4 to 5 per cent. Freight—There have been extensive engagements to tonnage for troops to England, as also for emi grants to Mauritius and Demerara, and, conse quently our freight market has not received that s i3fmnya e ecvatreye rates ot e beef es c em l txlaeoatveyeekLni fairly. csa i ing e od o an t rr h aela e . nl i; o w dalr. lot" Liverpool u e aisnvif w ndearc o l ple u .too l olo d fulssr h sfsl a i..a : ot ie moto x d 7 sol. then67eh ds n c,a6 dittelos publication,enat for r r existing.

The present supply of tonnage is large enough, and with the expected tonnage during the present and next month, and the ap proaching long holidays in October, which will considerably retard progress, will accumulate be fore the opening of the offices a large amount of tonnage. HONGKONG, AUG. 24. The import trade has been languid here and at Canton, the following are the fortnight's transac tions,. We quote Canton prices, cash two months, duty paid, and give sales at both places : Cotton-7,150 bales of Bombay sold. In conse quence of large arrivals prices have declined 2 mace per picul. We quote good to fine, 9.2 taels to 10.2 taels ; medium to good. 8.2 taels to 9.2 taels ; com mon, 6.9 taels to 7.9 taels. Madras—No sales, and quotations about 5 mace lower. Canton Silk—Prices have advanced 5 dols. to 10 dols. per picul, in consequence of a demand for native requirements. No purchases have been made bf foreigners. Tea Arrivals of new Congous are 60 chops, and two chops of old. The market for new Cori gous opened unmeiiately after the departure of last mail at 3GI- to 401 taels for Oopacks, and 311 to 34 taels for Honshu-is ' at which rates seven chops were purchased. Total settlements to date 15 chops, including three on private terms. Latterly business has been suspended, foreigners being un willing to continue purchases at the opening rates, and as the teamen refuse to accept a reduction, settlements are likily to be delayed. Scented teas are 1 teel lower. Settlements—Scented orange Pekoes, 9,000 boxes sold, at 22 taels to 27 taels ; scented capers, 1,700 boxes sold at 19 taels to 24 taels ; Powchong, 1,500 half chests sold at 20 taels to 211 taels, for the United States and California.

Tho Royal Mail steamship Arabia, Captain Stone, arrived to-day, with the New York mails of the 4th, Boston of the sth, and Halifax of the 7th, and 100,000 dols., on freight. The usual telegraph from New York via Halifax not having come to hand, it is supposed that the wires must have been out of order. On the 6th inst., at midnight, during a strong gale from the north-east, the Arabia passed the Royal Mail steamship Canada, bound for Boston. The screw steamer llungarian had arrived at Quebec. The steamship Teutonia, from Hamburg and Southampton, had arrived at New York. Determined that there should be no peculation on contracts, the President had presided at the opening of the bids for the supply of the army in Utah and New Mexico. As will be seen by the following, another fili bustering expedition under Walker had set sail for Nioaragua " Washington, Oct. 4.—A month ago information was received in this city of filibustering movements against Nicaragua. Although the statement was not fully credited, it was deemed of sufficient im portance to justify the issue of instructions to the proper federal officials to exercise more than ordi nary vigilance. The President himself superin tended these precautionary movements. The recent advertisement in the New Orleans papers of a steamship to start from Mobile for Chiriqui on the Ist of October added to the accumulating suspicious circumstances attending the alleged contemplated invasion of Nicaragua; but upon inquiry of the col lector at Mobile nothing had been heard to confirm the truth of the report, so far as that port is con cerned. Within the present week reliable informa tion has been received here, and was stated in the general newspaper despatch yesterday, that a large number of strangers were in New Orleans, in cluding many prominent persons, said to have been heretofore connected with filibustering enter prises, and this, together with other circumstances, created suspicion in the mind of Collector Hatch that they meditated an unlawful expedition. Late ' last night 100 or 150 of them left the city, the pre sumption being that they had gone to the Belize to await a vessel. A clearance had been asked for tho steamer Philadelphia for Chiriqui, which Collector Hatch refused for the reasons above stated. The agent of the steamer was persistent, and again ap plied for a clearance, but ma with no better suc cess than at first. Of these facts our Government is informed, and probably they are the only, ones from authentic sources in its possession. It is be lieved that this subject was to-day a matter of Cabi net consultation. Orders hare been dispatched by telegraph to the commanding officer at Baton Rouge for concentrating and holding the federal military in reserve, to be used, if necessary, as aposse comitatus for the enforcement of the law. It is be lieved there—and the facts which have just traspired seem to warrant the conclusion,—that the fillibus ters have so arranged their plans as to avail them selves of the advantages afforded by the re-opening of the Nicaragua transit route for the accomplish ment of their designs. The Administration is de termined by all the means in its power, including the employment of the land and naval forces, to compel respect to the neutrality laws. The instruc tions to Minister Dimitry aro particularly with re ference to the re-opening of the transit, and, as both Governments have assented to the Lamar- Zeladon treaty, it is supposed Nicaragua will offer no obstacle to the passage of the mails. The pre sence of the Postmaster-General in New York in connexion with the last-named subject, is expres sive of the interest the Government has in the ful filment of the Johnson contract. " NEW ORLEANS, OCT. 4.—Collector Hatch has re fused a clearance of the steamer Philadelphia for As pinwall, becanse it is alleged the steamer is engaged to take General Walker and 200 or 300 men from Texas, Alabama, and elsewhere, now encamped be low this city, and ready to start for Nicaragua. They are ostensibly bound to the Chiriqui diggings, and intended to leave on the sth." A later telegram says : " General Walker and his men got off last night, and sailed from Berwick Bay this morning in their
