The sudden visit of Earl CowLEY seems to imply that our friendly Ally is not very well at ease, either with himself or with respect to the compromise entered into at Villafranca. Though that nondescript juggle has been carried out so far by diplomatic manceuvering, still it wants the moral sanction of other parties who ere no parties to the compromise. That the Emperor NAPOLEON has acted too hastily on the impulse of the mo ment is now proved, not only by his own confession, but in his eagerness to get the other powers of Europe to deliberate on what is next best to be done, so as to extricate him from the perplexities of the " situation." • On the other hand, the Emperor of Austria is restive, and will not be appeased unless the " abominable Dukes" be restored to the power they have so flagrantly abused. While England, on the other hand, can not reconcile it to her conscience to allow the Italian people to be again dispossessed of that ° liberty for the attainment of which they have made so many cruel sacrifices in order to escape for ever from the house of German bondage. That the Emperor NAPOLEON has evoked a spirit of national enthusiasm which he finds it difficult to allay, is proved to the satisfaction of all honest men who hail the regeneration of the Italian people as the best and now most desirable security for the peace of Europe. For ourselves we cannot comprehend what ulterior advantage NAroLEoN can propose to him self by persisting in his present dogged course, If he really value the alliance with England, he must feel that we cannot go on higgling about this or that concession to despotic presumption for the sake of Imperial Pride, or keeping faith with him at the expense of our own Independence. We have hitherto endeavoured to act in our own and on his , behalf on princ'ple, but we cannot subserve our own liberty of: action merely to carry out his "idea," and - 11i$, only. It is just with public as - with private matters—a good deal must be sacrificed for the sake of peace, and maintal rift g a sort of g,oolfellowship, but one cannot yield too , nruch or compromise integrity for apparent adv ar.tagc. Indeed there cannot be any lasting ad ctntage where integrity is ashamed to reflect on the sacrifice of honour be it private or national. Let us hope that, however much our sensibility has , been quickened by late events, that 'several. causes of provocation may be softened into. '.mutual good will for the benefit of all. A few yt ars of peace will do more for the prosperity of b oth France and England than all the so-called 'glory of victories either on land or sea, or on both combined. " Peace hath her victories as well as war." Aye, victories more conducive to the progress of civilization—more beneficial to the welfare of our species, and more calculated to improve the world by diffusing the benefits of Art, Science, and Know ledge throughout the earth. Since the above was written we are much pleased at finding a reciprocal feeling emanate from the French Ministerial journal, the Pays, which seems to be in singular accordance with the views we have expressed. We extract the following from the second edition of the Times : The Pays says :—" They are only the partisans of the past, the contemners of modem civilisation, who rejoice the moment these friendly relations (between England and France) seem to be weakened. On the contrary, all who de sire to witness the increasing development in Europe of the principles of a wise and liberal policy are, as we have always been, partisans of the alliance of the two mighty nations which have imparted the greatest force to these principles, which have best served them, and which have made for them, at home and abroad, the most splendid sacrifices. If any cir cumstances have moved our country to the occasioning a misunderstanding of its real sentiments with regard to Eng land, it was especially owing to these deplorable circum stances. If in this legitimate emotion certain intentions and perils were thought to be seen, people laboured under a grave mistake; and it is England above all which, for its interests and its dignity, must regret and blame the error of some prejudiced minds. "We honour England for its government, its noble people, its gallant army, and its liberal institutions. These institutions ought not, and cannot be ours. Sprung from the very soil, fortified by tradition, consolidated by time, modified and augmented by long practice, they are perfectly suited to the English nation; but among us they would merely be a foreign importation—a sickly vegetation with out sap, taking no root, and which a breath might blow' away. It suffices to consider the revelations of the two countries to see that we understand certain things otherwise than England understands them. If England outstrips us in some points, why, we outstrip her in others—as in ques tions of religious liberty, and in those relating to civil and political equality.. " But, for the same reason that we honour England, we have a right to expect that France and its Government be honoured by her—by those who pretend, like the writers in the Times, to represent her, and to speak in her name. We shall always, and with goodwill, do our part in those cour teous acts on condition that each does his own, and we can no more understand France subordinate to England than England inferior to France. In an honourable alliance sympathies ought to be placed together in common, and dissensions set aside. In this way a salutary accord will be strengthened, will increase each day, and effect for other nations that are less advanced than ours in civilization the progress which they require and which they expect." The Pays concludes thus .—" We are of those who saw with joy the flags of France and England floating together In the glorious war of the Crimea; we applaud before hand the expedition to China. Finally, the presence of England in the coming Congress will give us much lively satisfaction. Italy, for which Napoleon 111. and France have done so much, will find in English policy , open sympathy and powerful co-operation. There is no thing which interests England to which we can be indif ferent. " This said in all sincerity, and in return for tne present good disposition of the Times, let us hope that this journal will not expose itself on our part to any new reproaches, for these reproaches always cost us much." At the present season, in the dearth of the ex citing political topics which are always current during the Parliamentary session, the public turn with some interest• to the reports of scientific and agricultural meetings. At the annual meeting of the Gloucestershire Agricultural Society, which was held in Earl BATHURST'S park on Thursday last, several in teresting speeches were made, which were the more noticeable as they referred alike to topics of importance at home and abroad. The question of the day—the efficiency of the national defeences was of course brought promi nently forward. Sir C. W. CODRINGTON, in speak ing to the customary toast of the Army and Navy, referred to the threatened invasion, observed that our navy was sufficiently powerful to check the enemy's advances while our army concentrated its Purees. Colonel Icartual...w.r. vavreriesue. lairs %MIL iv. 7 tion that the French had no sinister purpose regard ing us ; at the same time he declared his belief, that should they attack us, they would find our military and naval forces had not deteriorated. The necessity for adequate armaments for the pur poses of self-defence was also enforced by the Hon. W. BATHURST who acquiesced in the assertion that the intentions of the Freneh EMPEROR, towards us were pacific, but justly ob served that we might arm ourselves without alarm ing the world. We have given Europe no cause to doubt our pacific inclinations, and no foreign nation has a right to take offence at our rectifying our previous errors on this vital question. In reference to more local subjects, the Vicar of Cirencester expressed his approbation of the abolition of mops and statutes—alluding to the old custom of hiring servants in the market place, which he justly observed was beneath the dignity of men and women. He commented on the absurdity of their position, humourously remarking that they were strung together like rows of onions waiting for a pur chaser. He recommended an improvement in the cottage accommodation for labourers' families, a reform which we should gladly see more largely carried out. In many of the midland counties, Herts, for example, some influential gentlemen in the neighbourhood have taken up the cause with considerable energy. The vital importance of providing clean and respectable homes for the working classes has long been in sisted upon by all practical reformers, and philanthropists. It is useless to spend the national grants in the education of children and the inculcation of moral principles, if they return to those squalid and overcrowded homes, unhappily too common amongst us. Apart from the imme diate discomforts, this state of things exercises a most deteriorating influence over their characters;. and, even were the parents cognisant of the evil, the depressing influences of poverty prevented them from contending successfully against it. 1 Another subject of interest was prominently brought forward by Mr. HOLLAND, M.P., Wiwi, being called upon to respond to the toast of " Success to the Gloucestershire Agricultural Society," took occasion to bring before the meet ing the advantages resulting from the adoption of the new method of ploughing by steam. Among the marvellous improvements which have resulted from the study of agriculture on scientific prin ciples, thus calling art to the development of the forces of nature, few have been more simple or striking than the invention of the Steam Plough. Our great auxiliary, who is sub duing all the elements in turn bids fair to supersede horse labour by performing more work at a cheaper rate. Mr. HOLL.IND gave some interesting sta tistics of the results of his experiments in which he stated that he had ploughed 272 acres with the steam plough, at an average of four acres per day, making 68 in all. He estimated the cost of these four acres per day at £1 45., t 3 which he added a charge of ls. 6d. per acre for wear and tear of machinery, thus making an esti mate of 11 10s. per acre. lie supposed it would I,l4ave taken four horses to each plough to have ploughed the four acres, and he th.ught an acre would not have been done by them. lle calculated the cost would have been £4 for the four acres, so that it was at once evident that there was a difference of £2 10s. between the cost of steam and horse ploughing in the four acres alone. Mr. HOLLAND gave many other items, evidencing the relative expenditure, mad allowing his computation to be correct, the result is certainly astonishing. Besides the mere_difference of cost there is a greater advantage in the adoption ' of the steam plough, since it ploughs much deeper, turning up fresh ground, and re newing the surface of the earth, thus in creasing its fertility, and greatly benefiting the soil. We arc glad to see this striking improve ment thus publicly dwelt upon, as we hope that the force and simplicity of the arguments adduced may carry conviction to many. It must be a source of gratification to all who are intereAed in the national welfare to see the energies of science turned to assist and develope the prosperity of those agricultural districts whose inhabitants were once supposed to be inimical to all 'improvements. Their gloomy anticipations as to the results of Free Trade have proved groundless, and, we trust, that in future they will be less ready to prophesy evil. Whatever perplexitios or dangers may await us in the future, threaten us from without and not from within. Foreign despots and military rulers might learn a lesson if they would from the na tional content and public spirit of a people, whose liberty of faith and freedom of speech are the se crets of its being a nation at unity with itself. EARLIEST SPECIMEN OF THE ELONGATED EXPA-VDING SHOT. TO THE TDITOR OF THE SUN. SlR,—Having good reasons to believe that the authorities are now willing to know who was the first to suggest, and practically to demonstrate the superior advantages of an elongated expanding shot, I beg to submit, for your inspec tion, a specimen of the expanding shot, derived immediately from the expanding lotus pith base of the Malay tube .arrow or bolt, whieh I submitted and fully explained to the select committee of Artillery officers, at Woolwich, as far back as the summer of 1823. The officers now living that can bear testimony to the fact, are General Sir Robert Gardiner, R.A. ; General Sir Richard Airey, now Quartermaster-General. Colonel BarloW; eliairman of the Southampton Docks Company ; Major Hector Straith, Captains Thomson and Hadwen ; the last five of whom were present with my late regiment, the 34th, at the time. Colonel Beamish, in his memorable letter of August, 1852, to the Editor of the United Service Journal, at page 3, gives a full and clear narration of the facts. I have left a specimen of this shot at the United Service Institution, Whitehall. Colonel Wilford, in his recent lecture at the United Service Institution, has truly stated that the great improvement in rifle efficiency is to be traced to the elon gated form or the shot.—l am, yours, &c.

General Cousin de Montauban, who commanded the military division of Rouen, has published an order of the day t'o the national guard of that city, taking leave of them on his appointment to the command of the expedition to China. In the course of it he expresses regret at separating from them, but says that he entertains the hope of being useful to their city by opening a new field to the manu facturing and commercial enterprise of France. The General Commanding-in-Chief of the French expeditionary corps to China has issued the follow ing order of the day "Officers and Soldiers,—Under the protection of Napo leon 111. and of France, you are called to undertake a re mote and glorious expedition.

Account TO TIIE EDITOR OF TDB SUN. Sin,—My attention has this day been drawn to a portion of the case of Mr. Stocqueler's insolvency (headed as above), reported in The Sun of yesterday, by which it is insinuated that my son, Capt. Cook, late of the 32d Regiment, obtained his promotion through undue influence and the paid agency of Mr. Stocqueler. Now I beg to say that my son's pro motion was for distinguished service at Lucknow, during the recent memorable siege of that city, his name having been mentioned in the despatches of Gen. Inglis, the officer then in command of the garrison, and on that ground alone was he promoted ; and I trust that merit and the due regu lations of the service only will ever be the cause and means of his promotion. lam sure you would not suffer the influ ence of your widely-circulated paper to be the medium of tarnishing unfairly the reputation of a gallant young officer who has served his country. I therefore request you will do Capt. Cook the justice of inserting this letter in one of the columns of your paper.—l am, sir, your obedient servant, ROBERT COOK. Warwick-Areet, Golden-square, Nov. 26. [We insert the above with great pleasure. The report was copied from a morning journal.—En. SUN.] HAYMARKET THEATRE. On Saturday night Mrs. Centlivre's comedy, " A Bold Stroke for a Wife," was revived at the Haymarket, for the purpose of affording Mr. Charles Mathews, an opportunity , of appearing as Colonel Feignwell. Mr. Buckstone's ap pearance as the veritable Simon Pure delighted the audi ence, and Mr. Compton's quaint humonr was well bestowed on Obadiah Prim, while Mr. Chippendale's Virtuoso was clever and artistic. At the close of the comedy a call was made for the principal actors. DR URY-LANE THEATRE.

The first part of the entertainment was dei,voted to the works of Mendelssohn; the second to a mis cellaneous selection of "light and cheerful " music (we quote the programme), composed chiefly of dance tunes composed by Herr Manna, popular overtures, and brilliant solo pieces. The attendance was not large, owing perhaps to the very unfavourable state of the weather, and the audi ence was much more orderly than the motley assemblages which have hitherto given a disgraceful notoriety to the first nights of promenade concert entertainments. The Prince and Princess Frederick William in tend to prolong their visit to her Majesty until the end of next week—Friday, the 2d of December, being now the day appointed for their departure.—Court Journal. Her Majesty, it is expected, will hold a Privy Council, at Windsor Castle, either in the commencement or the middle of next week. — Court Journal. Earl Cowley, as soon as possible after his arrival in this country, sought the Premier and Lord J. Russell, and then hurried down to Windsor Castle to have au audience of the Queen, and it is worthy of remark that the Foreign Secretary did not accompany the Ambassador, and formally present him to her Majesty on his return (on leave) from post, but the Earl sought her Majesty alone. If his mission fails, it will therefore leave no official trace. —Court Journal. Lord Palmerston's invitation to a Cabinet dinner on Saturday was, it is said, so complete a surprise to seve • ral of his colleaguei, that some of them had made previous engagements, and, therefore, there was not a full muster of the Cabinet at the dinner. This was 'the cause of the accidental large attendance of members of the Lower House, and gave 'rise to the rumour that the Reform Bill was discussed at the Cabinet Council. The Duke of Argyll, however, joined the party at Cambridge House in the evening, and'Earl Granville had not then arrived.— Court Journal. His Excellency Earl Cowley, accompanied by Mr. Falconer Atlee, has left Claridge's lintel for Paris. The Marquis and Marchioness of Normanby have Left the St. George's Hotel. The Right Hon. B. Disraeli and Mrs. Disraeli have arrived in town from Pynes, Devon, where they have been en a visit to Sir Stafford and Lady Northeote. The Earl and Countess of Craven and the Ladies Craven arrived at their mansion in Charles-street on Satur day from 'visiting the Earl and Countess of Verulam at Gorhanibury. For the first time since the holidays, there was a full muster of the Cabinet on Thursday ; .every Minister was present. IL is believed that this, full attendance was induced by the expected communications from the Premier, on the subje4 or Eerd Coioey's'extriOrdinarY - visit from Paris. But, from whatever cause, it, ivas the first full as sembly of MiniSters for a considerable period. There was, also, a preliminary meeting of several of our leading states men on the day previous. —Court Journal. It is said that, during the, excitement consequent on the loss of the llua baby, and after the insertion of the advertisement offering a reward for its restoration, more than a dozen babies were brought to Madame llua, with the hope that a chance might exist of their being mistaken for the right one. M. llua was advised to prosecute the more barefaced of the impostors, but declined to do so.— Court Journal. The block of houses at the corner of the Rue Duras and the Faubourg St. Honorst, near the British Em bassy, has been bought by the Galignanis, and is about to be converted into splendid mansions, fitted for the reception of the highest English and Russian families.—Court Journal. Eight Russian choristers passed through Berlin a few days ago, on their way to Nice, to take part ia.the Divine service which is each week performed before the Empress-Mother. The Russian corvette Passanick left Brest three days ago on her way to the Amoor. The Semaphore of Marseilles states that it is on board the Dryade, now at Toulon, that Gen. Cousin Mon lauban is to embark on his way to China. . An Imperial decree sanctions the following rate of taxation on apartments in Paris for 180 :—When the rent is from 2501. to 1191. the tax is to be 3 per cent. ; from 500 f. to 9991., 5 per cent. ; from I,ooof. to 1,499 E, 7 per cent. ; and from 1,500 f. and upwards, 9 per cent. The illoniteter de la llotte contradicts a statement made by the Coastitationliel, that a Commission for Chinese Affairs was to be established, and to sit permanently at the Ministry of Algeria. A letter from Nice of the 22(1 says :—" The gene ral impression that Nice is crowded, and that apartments or villas are scarcely obtainable, is quite erroneous. There is an average number of visitors, but the rage for building during the last three years has been so great that not twc thirds of the houses are let. Competition is having its effect, as good accommodation can now be had on more rea sonable terms than hitherto. There is also an idea abroad that the influx of Russians has been such as to change the town into a Russian instead of an English colony. Such, however, is far from the case, as our countrymen are in a great majority, and the last few Sundays there has bees a numerous congregation at church.

A letter from Florence, dated Nov. 21, says : " The Dictator Farini, as Governor-General of the Romagna, has given orders for the fortification of Bologna, and granted 500,000 f. to the beginning of the works. It would be needless to observe that this measure comes rather too late, if it might be considered in any manner wise or expedient. Bologna is a great and brave city, and with no pro: tection but its medieval walls it opposed a stout resistance to the Austrians in 1848, and defeafed them. It must be allowed also, that the defence of towns is the kind of warfare that the Italians best understand and are best Suited for, as witness the sieges of Rome and Venibe in 1849, and the heroic deeds of Brescia and Bologna itself at the same period. I made myself, lately, the tour of the walls of Bologna, and climbed the hills which overhang the town on- the south: I confess that 'the vast area of the city, and the great number of hill' rising one behind the other and commanding one another, gave me the' impfesSion .that , nothing was easier than to protect liOlogna from, a coup de main, but at the same time nothing mpro .difficult than to. put it into a permanent state—of defence, unless the works were undertaken *on 'a gigantic 'Scale and a whole army was thrown into it by way of garrison. , A HAPPY ARISTOCRATIC CONXEXION.—The Divorce Court opens to the public some strange domestic histories.

Three weeks Afterwards, ,before the expi ration of the honeymoon, Mr. 'lt. locks up his wife in a sitting-room from 7 O'clock in, the evening till 4 the next morning without fire or candles. They go to Calais'for a few days, where he, beats her. Next to Brussels, where he .tears her bonnet from her head, and forces his hat over her eyes. From Brussels the happy pair proceed to Frankfort in a railway compartment to themselves, in which Mr. It. passes her time in kicking her because some' one had looked at her at the station. At Frankfort, after this usage, the lady faints, and upon asking for a glass of water on recovering her senses Mr. It. forces a spoonful of salt down her throat. Upon a journey of 20 hours from Strasbourg to Paris the lady is not allowed to get out of the ' carriage. Next Nr. It. cuts,off his wife's hair, saying he does so because she prizes it. About the same.time he pulls her out of bed when ill, and threatens to strike her with a meat-chopper: But the 'complaint of the lady which seems the most extraordinacv, considering what she had suffered, is that for 13 months when they lived at Brussels, the hits- . band was in the constant habit of going away and leavinr , her for a week at a time. One would have thought that the poor woman would have rajoiced at these occasional sus pensions of marital hostilities, but perhaps Griselda's faculty of endurance craved further trial and exercise. Cer tain it is that fur three years this lady submitted to treat ment such as has been described, and the only parallel to her patience is that of the gentleman who told a friend he was about to change his residence in a lonely quarter, " be cause," said he, " I have given it a fair trial, having been knocked down and robbed every - nikht on my way home for three years, and now I think it high time to be eff." There is probably a moral in the Hon. Mrs. R.'s ease whioh does not appear in the evidence. The character of a man capable of such unmanly brutalities as were proved against her husband could hardly have been concealed, and would have deterred her from accepting him if it had not not been for the addition of the "honourabio" to his, ShePO, e has now expiated this tVny, ao 01 - 0,t4i.w.41 Up , release from her tyrant, but at what apa of suffering! But examples of this sort have, we fear, little effect, for aristocratic connec tion covers - a multitude of sins; - Surpassing charity a Utm died-fold.--4Caminer. INDIA AND CHINA. By the arrival of the Calcutta mail we (Times) have received our private correspondence and files of papers from Calcutta to the 22d of October, and from Hongkong to the 13th of October. The following is the letter of our Calcutta cone pondent "CALCUTTA, OCT. 22. " On receipt of the news of the disaster at the Peiho the Governor-General was warmly pressed to permit the discharged Europeans to volunteer, with bounty, for China. His lordship refused, al leging, I am told, that if he offered a bribe to the discharged, her Majesty's r eg i men t s wou ld d eman d bounty too. Mr. Bruce, also apparently in d ou bt as to the support he would receive in England, ne glected for some time to send any official requisition for aid to Calcutta. The men, therefore, were suf fered to leave the Hooghly in shiploads. At last orders were received from England to engage them, and as two of the last ships were leaving the river they were stopped by telegraph, an officer sent down, and the men requested to volunteer. Out of 800 men all but 45 declined. The remainder said, with some reason, We go hcme free, get a 'shy' in England,,,spe our friends, 'list, get the £5 you offer, and the new kit you don't offer, and return free. What should we volunteer for ?' This difficulty had been • foreseen in India, and the Governor-General , Was urged with no effect to increase the terms to £lO, His lord ship declined. The detention of the vessels cost £BO a day in demurrage, and what with steam expenses and whatnot each man of the 45 who returned to Calcutta had cost Government £2O. At Chinsurah I am assured the failure was far more complete, every man, of 200, r e f us i ng th e o ff ere d boon. There remains one large regimennt, the 3d, but I hope no offer will be made to them. These incessant failures lower the tone of all concerned, and produce an Appearance of antagonism between Government and its defenders. I question, myself, whether double or even t re bl e b oun t y wou l e have 1 had the smallest effect. The Government, with ex traordinary stup4l4 o ,insisted on a bond of ten years' service, and ten years to men stricken with the homesickness raging in India just now seem an eternity. "A force (5,000 men) I' hear will be sent from this country II Chin% but there is a hitch of some kind about the Sikh 4,.. They were willing enough to go three months ''since, and several regiments volunteered, but there is a hitch now, though whether it proceeds from the men or the officers, I cannot, with the Government at Allahabad, im mediately ascertain., " A story is circulating here, apparently derived. from a Chinese pamphlet translated in the Northern Bee, which attributes to the Cabinet of Pekin an idea of invading India. They will not do it, nor would it signify if they did, but I question if your readers are aware that such an enterprise is within the bounds of possibility. Yet a Chinese army of 70,000 men did in 1855 drive Jung Bahadoor out of Thibet, and advance to the frontier of Ne paul. The road via Sikkim, or, still •better, via Bootan, is open . to . them, and. the Mant choos in despair might try in that way to create a diversion. It would not matter. The hatred of a Hindoo for a Chinaman is innate and unconquerable, and we could enlist the population in a week. The appearance of a Chinese force on our border would, however,be a curious phenomenon inAsiatic history. There must be extant somewhere in the archives of the India-house a proposition made by the ruling Llamas in Thibet to Lord Auckland, offering on certain terms to conquer China for him and hold it as feudatories of the Company. lam not aware of the precise form of Lord Auckland's refusal, but a proposal of the kind was made. "• Reports, ono of them official, announcing the death : of the Nana, have been received in Calcutta from Katmandu°. They are not. believed. Accord , ing to the latest,accounts, he was levying recruits on our frontier, and threatening to annihilate Lucknow, or ;.blow up St. Paul's, or commit some deed of equalrabsurdity. He has about 6,000 ruf fians with him, half armed and more than half starved, and the Nepaulese troops are at last ad vancing on his rear. " The report of his death from jungle fever was, it is suspected, spread by the Nepaulese to avoid the necessity of surrendering him when taken.• " Orders are expected here immediately to com plete the submarine telegraphic communication be tween' Calcutta'and Singapore." CHINA. HONG KONG, OCT. 13. Our relations with the Chinese at the various ports continue as before, and there h ave b ee n n o fresh disturbanc es at Shanghai. An inimical feel ing, however, a pp ears to ex i st, n/i,l fnr.; Ev iora - co.n no - longer go into the country with safety as here tofore" : His Excellency the Hon. Frederick Bruce remains at Shanghai. Admiral Hope arrived here 'in her Majesty' s s hip Ch esa p ea k e, on the 9th inst.,' and we are glad to learn that he has quite recovered from his wounds. We understand he will remain here for some time, • FronvJapan we learn. that matters remain on a very unsatisfactory footing, and the Government throw all sorts of obstacles in the way of a friendly settlement according to treaty. The murder of a Russian officer and sailor has brought about the dismissal of the Governor of Kanagawa, and it is stated that General Mouravieff, the Governor- General of Siberia, 'who was present with 12 ships of war, has taken advantage of the opportunity to obtain the lower portion of the island of Saghalien for the Russian crown. We cannot vouch, how- . ever, for the correctness of this report. The last mail steamer brought as a passenger Admiral Page, who proceeds shortly to Turon to take command of the French forces there and relieve Admiral Rigault de Genouilly, who has suffered much from illness during the latter ppt of the campaign. Late. int e lli gence from Cochin China reports the health of the troops as improved. The London mail of the 26th of August arrived, here on the Bth inst. The outward mail leaves at 2 p.m. to-day.

The America has arrived with the New York mails of the 15th, Boston of the 16th, Halifax of the 18th, and telegraphic advices from the former via the latter port to the evening of the 17th. She has 100,000 dollars on freight. A severe gale had occurred at Aspinwall and San Juan del Norte, and considerable anxiety was felt respecting the North Star, which was overdue from New York. The Royal mail steam-ship Solent had been unable to communicate with San Juan. The King of the Sandwich Islands shot and dan gerously wounded his private secretary on the 13th of September, and was contemplating abdication. Advices from Brownville to the 2d instant con tradict the report of the capture of that place by Col tinas. A despatch, dated New Orleans, Nov. 14, says,— " Advices from Mexico state that the rebellion at Victoria had been quelled, and the leaders shot." Another despatch, containing advices from the City of Mexico to the sth, states that Marquez had boldly avowed that he seized the conducta for patriotic purposes. He was expected at the capital. It is stated in advices from La Guayra to the 25th of October that the rebels were being defeated on all sides. Sterling Exchange at Havannah, of the 10th, was 151 to 161 per cent. premium. Sugar quiet ; stock, 115,000 boxes. Freight dull. At New York, on the 4th, sterling exchange was 110 to 114 SOUTHAMPTON, MONDAY MORNING. The Bavaria steamer, Capt. Taube, has arrived at Cowes with New York advices of the 15th inst. She brings 100,000 dols. for England, 30,000 dols. for Paris, and 5,500 dols. for Hamburg. Off Nantucket Shoals, on the 16th, she passed a large screw steamer steering west, apparently ono of ate Bremen line. Her advices are anticipated by the America steamer. TILE TREATIES OF ZURICH. The P iedmontese Gazette of the 23d inst. pub lishes the text of the two treaties concluded at Zurich, as follows: " Victor Emmanuel 11., by the Grace of God King of Sar dinia, of Cyprus, "and of Jerusalem, Duke of Savoy, of Genoa, Prince of Piedmont, &0., to all whom the present litters may concern, greeting. "A treaty having been cohcluded between us and his Majesty the Emperor of the French, and signed by our re spective plenipotentiaries at Zurich on the 10th of Novem ber, 1859, with a view to consolidate our alliance and regulate, by a definitive agreement, the results of our par ticipation in the late war, the tenour of which is as follows : " In the name of the Most Holy Trinity, his Majesty the King of Sardinia and his Majesty the Emperor of the French, wishing to consolidate their alliance, and regulate by a definitive agreement the results of our participation in the last war, have resolved to confirm (consaerer) by a treaty the dispositions of the preliminaries of Villafranca relative to the cession of Lombardy ; to which purpose they ap • pointed, as their plenipotentiaries, for his Majesty the King of Sardinia, M. Franvis Louis Chevalier des Ambroi■ de Norache, &c., and the Chevalier Jocteau,: &c. ; for his Majesty the Emperor of the French, Baron de Bourqueney, &c., and the 'Marquis de Bonneville, &c. " ' Art. 1. By a treaty of this day's date, his .Majesty the Emperor of Austria having renounced, for himself and for all his descendants and successors, in favour of his Majesty the Emperor of the French, his claims (droils) and titles to Lombardy, his Majesty the Emperor of the French trans fers to his Majesty the King of Sardinia the claims and titles which accrue to him in virtue of article 4 of the above quoted treaty, of which the tenour follows : " His Majesty the Emperor of Austria renounces, for himself and for his successors, in favour of his Majesty the Emperor of the French, his claims and titles to Lombardy, with the exception of the fortresses of Peschiera and of Mantua, and of the territories determined by the new deli mitation, which remain in the possession of his Imperial Royal Apostolic Majesty. " The frontier, starting from the southern limit of the Tyrol, on the Lake of Garda, will follow the middle of the lake as far as the height of Bardolino and Manerba, whence it will join in a straight line the point of intersection of the zone of defence of the fortress of Peschiera with the Lake of Garda. That zone shall be determined by a circumference at a range of 3,500 metres from the centre of the fortress plus the distance of the said, centre to the glacis of the most advanced fort. From the point of intersection of the cir cumference thus drawn with the Mincio the frontier will follow the valley of the river to Le Grazie, will extend from Le Grazie in s straight line to Scorzarolo, will follow the valley of the Po to Luzzara, from which point there is no alteration in the frontier lino already existing before the war. " A military commissioner appointed by the Govern ments interested will be charged with drawing out the line on the localities with the shortest possible delay. " Art. 2. His Majesty the King of Sardinia, in taking possession of the territories ceded to him by his Majesty the Emperor of the French, accepts the charges and conditions attached to that cession, such as they are stipulated in articles 7,8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, and 16 of the treaty concluded under this day's date between his Majesty the Emperor of the French and his Majesty the Emperor of Austria, which are thus conceived :—, " ' (a) The new Government of Lombardy will be charged with three-fifths of the debt of the Monte-Lombardo- Veneto. "'lt will also be charged with a portion of the national loan of 1854, fixed between the high contracting parties at 40,000,000 florins (conventions-inunt).* (b) An international commission shall be immediately appointed to wind up the affairs of (liquidation) the Monte- Lombardo-Veneto ; the creditor and debtor balance to be drawn on the principle of three-fifths to the new Govern ment, and two-fifths to Austria. " ' (c) The new Government of Lombardy succeeds to the rights and obligations resulting from contracts regularly stipulated by the Austrian Administration for objects of pub lic interest, concerning esp . ecially the ceded territory. " (d) The Austrian Government is charged to refund all sums paid in by Lombard subjects, communal districts, re ligious societies, public establishments, &c., as caution money, deposits, &c. Vice versa, the new Government is charged to refund any such sums paid in by Austrian sub jects. (e) The new Government of Lombardy recognises and sanctions the railway concessions granted by tne Austrian Government on the ceded territory, and for their full length of time, and especially the concessions resulting from the contracts passed under date of March 14, 1866, April 8, 1867, and September 23, 1858. Dating from the ratification of the present treaty, the new Government is bound to fulfil all the obligations which wore incumbent upon the Austrian Government on account of the abovementioned concessions as regards railways on the ceded territory. A special convention will regulate the railway arrangements between the respective countries. .." (f) Lombard subj ec t s li v i ng on the ceded territory vre.allowed one year, datinpfiom the exchange of the ratifi cation, to remove their goods' and chattels to the Austrian territory; they are at liberty to retain thtir landed pro perty in Lombardy. The same facility is given to indivi duals horn on the ceded ter4ry of Lombardy and estab lished in the States of his Majesty the Emperor of Austria. Absentees are allowed an extension to two years to decide upon their movements. " (g) Lombard subjects belonging to the Austrian army, with the exception of those born (originaires) on that portion of • the , L6mbard" territory which remains tin property of the Einperor of Austria in virtue of the present treaty, are immediately free from military service, and may return to their homes. It is understood that those who prefer remaining in the service of his Imperial, Royal, and Apostolic Majesty shall not therefore suffer in their persons or property. The same applies to the employes of Lombard origin in the service of Austria. " ' (h) Pensions, civil and military, will be paid as here tofore by the new Government of Lombardy. " (i) All deeds, titles, and documents (archives) relat ing to that portion of the Lombard territory which remains to Austria or to Venetia are to be handed over to the Aus trian authorities, and vice versa. " (i) Religious corporations established in Lombardy are at liberty to dispose of their property, landed or mov able, in case the new Government should not sanction the maintenance of their establishments. " Art. 3. By the additional article of the treaty con cluded under this day's date between his Majesty the Em peror of the French and his Majesty the Emperor of Aus tria, the French Government having engaged itself towards the Austrian Government to make, on account of the new Government of Lombardy, the payment of 40,000,000 florins (conventions-munz), stipulated by the seventh arti cle of the abovementioned treaty, his Majesty the King of Sardinia, in consequence of the obligations which he has . . accepted by the preceding article, engages himself to re fund that sum to Fiance in the following manner : " The Sardinian Government will hand over to the Go vernment of the Emperor of the French Sardinian scrip of 5 per cent. renter to bearer to the amount of 100,000,000f1. ;* the French Government takes them at the average rate of exchange at the Paris Bourse of the 29th of October, 1859. The interest of this scrip will bo in favour of Franco when handed over within one month after the ratifications of the present treaty, " Art. 4. To diminish the expenses incurred by the French Government during the late war the Government * 10 florins to £1 sterling. of his Majesty the King of Sardinia engages to Government of his Maj es ty the Emperor of the Fre nch the sum of 60,000,000 f., for th e p aymen t of which a 5 p er cent ' rente of 3,000,000 f. w ill b e i nscr ib e d on the ledger of the public debt of S ar di n i a .
