THORLEY'S FOOD FOR CATTLE.- It is only a short time since this singularly efficacious article of animal diet first made its appearance ; and already its celebrity is world-wide. It has been a subject of wonder, end has puzzled many a brain to explain how this has been brought about. Yet when we are acquainted with a few facts concerning the food, our wonder will cease. A few days since, a gentleman wrote, stating that he had a horse which was a " perfect bag of bones." He tried all kinds of things to get the animal into condition, but in vain. He then bought some of Thorley's food; and he says the effect was wonderful. The horse rapidly grew fat, and in the course of a few weeks had gained no less than 12 stones. Again we find at the late agri cultural shows at Birmingham, Cardiff, &c., the animals which carried off the highest prizes had been partly fed with Thor ley's food fors •tile. Such facts speak for themselves, and we -Fare forced to; I « conclusion that its celebrity arises solely from its ownint filmic merits, and the ATeat demand for it can proceed alone from the good opinion and testimony of those who have tried it. All parties interested in horses and cattle will do well to apply to 77, Newgate-street, London, for a pamphlet which is sent post-free.

THE MUSSULMAN ADDRESSES TO THE QUEEN. Several of the Indian papers give a large space to addresses, on the part of the Mussulman community, to the Queen of-England. A few days after the reading of the proclamation at Calcutta there was a Mahomedan meeting, and an address to her Majesty was voted unanimously. The meeting was attended by a pretty good number of the leading members of the Mahomedan society o f Calcutta, and the chair, at the request of those present, was occupied by Cazi Abdool Bari. • The . proceedings were commenced by Moulvee Md. Abdoor Ilowoof add re ssing the mee4nent some length, expatiating chiefly on' the good government which British rule has introduced into this country, and the unceasing solicitude for the prosperity and advancement of its people, displayed by those en trusted with the duty of administering its affairs. He expressed also his deep - and heartfelt regret at the evils and misery entailed on the country in the course of the late disturbances, caused by the fool ishness of a set of ambitibus men, and dwelt parti cularly on the royal grace and clemency of her august Majesty the Queen towards the princes, chiefs; and people of India as evinced in her most gracious proclamation. He concluded by moving the first resolution : That as .her Majesty the Queen has 'been graciouily pleased to extend her royal benevolence to her Indian sub jects, and to hold them out hopes of ptesent and . future Wel= fare, on the.occasion of her taking the administration of the British territories in India into her own blinds, it is as much the duty of her subjects of the MAhomedanpersuasion, as of any other Class whatsoever, to present her a humble and dutiful- address, expressive of their devoted loyalty and at tachment, to her crown and person. It was seconded :by •Moulvee Rubeerood Decn Ahmed, and carried unanimously. Moulvee Md. Muzhur, honorary secretary to the Mahomedan Association, produced a Persian address, with trans lation (both of which had been prepared by the committee), and, reading it to the meeting, moved the second resolution—" That the address just now read be approved and adopted.". It was seconded by Moulvee Abdoo Luteef, and carried unanimously. The following is the English version of the ad dress May it please your Majesty,--We, your Majesty's most loyal and humble subjects belonging to the Mahomedan community of India, beseech your Majesty's permission to approach your Majesty's throne, with these our most loyal and respectful - acknowledgments for your Majesty's most gracious proclamation, read to us -on the Ist of the present month of November, 1858, by one of the secretaries of your Majesty's Indian Government. _ _ - And we humbly beg to lay at your Majesty's feet this the expression of, our most complete satisfaction at the an nouncement made in your Majesty's most gracious procla mation aforesaid, of having assumed in your own hands the government of these your Majesty's Indian subjects. And we humbly beg to lay before your Majesty also this the expression of our heartfelt gratitude for the gracious in terest in and the solicitude for the good and prosperity of your Majesty's Indian subjects, evinced in your Majesty's gracious proclamation aforesaid. And we be g leave to lay before your M a j es t y a l so thi s th e expression of our deep appreciation of the value of the pro-_ miseS made, and intentions set forth, in your Majesty's gracious proclamation aforesaid, more particularly of your Majesty's gracious intention to protect all your Majesty's Indian subjects in the free exercise of their respective religions, to secure them in the enjoyment of their ancient rights in the land, to advance them according to their de serts to posts of honour and trust in your Majesty's royal service, and to cause to be regarded with care their ancient rights, usages,and customs. And we further crave to hereby most respectfully repre sent unto your Majesty our admiration of the royal cle mency which extends to persons guilty of having thrown off their allegiance to your Majesty in the course of the re cent unhappy disturbances, the fullest pardon and oblivion of their offences, and arse our admiration Of, the.judgment and discrimination which excludes from the benefit of such pardon and oblivion, rrsons guilty of offenc e s which it were alike unjust and impolitic to. let go unpunished. And, we most humbly' beg your Majeitrs permission to represent unto your Majesty our earnest and deep-rooted belief and conviction, that in the promulgation of. your Ma jesty's rule, and that of your Majesty's heirs and succes sors over these territories, is to be found the best and truest security for that prosperity and social advancement which it is your Majesty's gracious desire to promote in your Ma jesty's Indian dominions; and we further most humbly beseech that your Majesty will be graciously pleased to place trust and reliance on the earnestness and sincerity of this our representation. - - And, lastly, we most humbly beseech your Majesty's per mission to• join your Majesty in prayer to Almighty God, that by vouchsafing strength and knowledge to all He may enable your Majesty, and your Majesty's heirs and succes sors, to fulfil and realise the gracious intentions of your M&- jesty, as contained in your Majesty's most gracious procla mation aforesaid And we humbly beg your Majesty's permission to sub scribe ourselves your Majesty's most loyal and most dutiful subjects. In Bombay the native community have forwarded an address, of which the following is a copy : To her Most Excellent Majesty the Queen. May it please your Majesty,—We, the undersigned, your Majesty's native Indian subjects residing in the town and island of Bombay, duly considering the importance of the modifications lately introduced into the government of Bri tish India, whereby the direct sovereignty of these terri tories has devolved upon your Majesty, desire on this auspi cious occasion to approach your Majesty's throne with an expression of our sincere loyalty, attachment, and devotion. Firmly assured as we are that the great principles of moderation, impartiality, and justice, characteristic of your Majesty's government in all parts of the British Empire, will henceforth, as ever, be scrupulously recognised, we venture to offer to your Majesty our humble and hearty congratulations on the assumption of your royal supremacy over this vast country, and we beg leave at the same time to express our cordial hope that the important change of administration which has thus been inaugurated may have the effect of placing youi Majesty's rule in India on a basis still more secure than that upon which it has rested for so ninny . years . _ _ With earnest prayers for the welfare of your Majesty, of the Prince, your illustrious consort, and of your royal family, as well as for the speedy restoration of tranquill►ty in the disturbed provinces of British India, and for a long continuance of peace and prosperity in your Majesty's dominions —we, with the profoundest respect, subscribe ourselves, your Majesty's most dutiful, humble, and de voted subjects. The signatures which are appended include those of Sir Jamsetjec Jebheeboy, Jugonnath Sunkersctt, Cursetjee Jamsetjee, and othe r influential natives. The total number of names exceeds 3,000. A good reason has been assi7ned for the Mussul men's eagerness to testify their loyalty. Although the mutinous Hindoo s in the late rebellion were as cruel and as sanguinary as the Mahomedans, yet the latter are r9garded as the prime movers and insti gators. Nor were the Moslems of the North Western provinces alone regarded with suspicion, but nearly all of that faith throughout India were considered as accomplices. Hence the desire was natural that the Mahornedans of the metropolis should wish to remove any doubt of their loyalty which may exist: Pernaps a similar feelin g prompted the Nawab of Moorshedabad to forward the following congratu latory address .to her Majesty : Madam,—On the 31st of August the British empire in the East passed under the direct authority of your most gracious Majesty. The benign rule of your Majesty now extends also to India, and its moral and physical effects will soon be felt throughout the land, especially justice attainable to all, by rendering rich and poor, and by . developing the boundless natural resources of this great empire. I hail the event as the commencement of a new era in the history of India, and as the forerunner of a mighty change which opens the vision of a bright future. Wherever the banner of your Majesty is unfurled, industry, arts, and science, fol low in its wake, and carry with them prosperity, civiliza tion, and education—those inestimable blessings which everywhere so largely contribute to the happiness of your Mapsty's faithful subjects . --and-add fresh stability to the throne. As the descendant of one of the oldest ruling families of aindostan, aild the acknowledged faithful ally of the Britisli Government, I desire permission to be one of the first to lay this my humble tribute of loyalty, respect, and affection at the foot of the throne of your Most Gracious Majesty. May the God of mankind shower his choicest blessings upon your Majesty and family, and that long life, health, and happiness may be the portion of the mighty Sovereign of Great Britoil' is the fervent and sincere prayer of, madam, your Majesty's most humble and faithful ser vant and subject, (Signed)ac SYED MUNSOOR ULLEE. Palace Moorshedab Nov. 1. A Lucknow correspondent writes, under date of Nov. 5, 1858 On the Ist or this month the proclamation announcing the transfer of the Indian empire to the government of the Queen was read out before all the European and native troops. Mr. Forsy th read out the Englis h procla ma ti on , an d Mr. Martin, the deputy commissioner, the vernacular copy. The troops had all b een assembled at a very early hour on the plain adjoining the Delaram.ke- Kothee, and it was here that the proclamation was read. Nearly all the gentlemen and ladies of the station were present. A royal salute was firea after the proclamation had been read out, and shortly after each regiment marched off to its own encampment. According to the programme, which had been ci rcu l a t e d l as t we e k, p ar ti es were i n vited to attend at the Chuttur Munzil and Furad Buksh to witness the games and amusements that were to go on on the other side of the river—and also to partake of tiffin, which was laid out in the spacious halls of these palaces. The chief commissioner and civil and military staff occupied the river front of the Furad Buksh, and the rest o f th e Christian community were assembled in the adjoining rooms of theiChuttur Munzil. At 2 o'cl oc k the am usements began—they consisted of racing on foot and horse back—jumping, leaping, boat razing, &c. These amusements lasted till six o'clock in the evening, and immediately after dusk there was a display of fireworks.

Extract from Minutes of Consultation transmitted by the Government of Madras, on the 15th May, 1858, to the late Court of Directors of the East India Company The Government express their unanimous, strong, and e arnest advocacy that all irrigation works which, on a com prehensive view of the.wants of the country, may be deemed necessary to develop its undoubtedly great resources, be commenced at once bold)) , and on a large scale, be pressed forward throughout all times and under all circumstances, and be looked on, and be practi . cally treated, a s i n f ac t th e y really are; as the most economical, because the m os t pro fitable, undertakings which the Government could pos sibly engage. It is needless now again to brin g f orwar d the innumerable instances in which money has in the Pre sidency been most advantageously invested in irrigation works. The proceedings of Government have, in this re spect, been only too desultory and vacillating, and it is confidently asserted that India could be placed in a position to pay all her own expenses, and gradually dis charge her debt far more readily and speedily by a judicious expenditure than by any scheme of retrenchment or reduc tion. EVENING, DECEMBER 29, 1858. ' who in so short a notice managed everything on so grand a scale. The natives of the city did not quite understand the affhir, and few came to hear the proclamation. The commissioner therefore on Tuesday morning went to the Chow k, and after assembling a large body of citizens, explained to them the reasons which induced. the Christian community to rejoice on the preceding day. Mr. Wood, the city magistrate, then read out the pro-. clamation to them. The result was that in the evening the principal streets of the city were illuminated, and all the influential natives had a grand nautch in one of the large emembarahs. From the districts we have not much news. Yesterday a telegram was received from Major Barrow from headquarters which intimated the fall of Rampoor Kussiah. It was assaulted on the 3d inst., after three hours' firing, by Thigadier Wetherall, who captured five guns. Our casualties amount to about 30. The loss of the enemy is said to have been severe. Two of our officers, Colonel Farquhar and Major Smith, have been wounded. • The following is from the Singapore Times : Yesterday morning, Nov. 19, the reading of the Queen's proclamation took place on the Esplanade, A platform was erected in the centre of the plain, over which was placed a tent covering, supported by pillars covered with scarlet cloth, and fringed with 'drapery of red and white ; the flooring was 'also covered with red and white cloth ; in the centre Ahem' was a place reserved for the civil functionaries and the consular body, and on each side ample accommodation was . provided for both ladies and gentlemen. Before 7 o'clock the 14th Madras Na 'tire Infantry, under the command of Col. Liardet, arrived on the ground and took up a position on the north side, the Artillery and Golandauze with their field pieces being placed at the two extremi ties of the Esplanade. The south side was occu pied by the Madras European Artillery, the Ma=- rives of her' Majesty's' ship Amethyst, and' the Volunteer Rifle Corps, whilst the front of the plat form towards the sea was lined with the jolly tars, of the Amethyst. The military arrangements were under the direction of Brigadier M‘Leod. Under the able management of Capt. H. T. Marshall, the yachts and ship's boats—about 60 in number— were arranged in the form of a crescent, all being gaily decorated with flags. A few minutes before 7 o'clock his Excellency the Governor arrived, and was received with a salute. His Excellency took his station on the centre of the platform,surrounded by his Honour the Recorder, the Hon. the Resident Councillor, his Highness the Sultan of Johore, the Consul-General D Egremont, the French, United States, Sardinian, and Hamburg Consuls, Captain Grenfell, R.N., and several naval and military offi cers. His Highness the Tumongong attended in hii carriage, but owing to indisposition was not able to alight. Many thousands of 'natives were also pre sent, as also a large body of police. At 7 o'clock his Excellency the Governor, in pursuance of instruc tions from her Majesty, read aloud the Queen's Pro clamation in,English. The 'Madras European Ar tillery, Marines, and Volunteer Rifles changed their position to the north side . of the Esplanade, extend ing the-line of troops. The native population, at the request of his Excellency, were desired to ap proach the platform, and the proclamation was opo t nhfr distributedee s n tten r ee e t. a .g d rrAoo in cul amongst ouldhmy,eoadfn.ltoigl followed l a wui y tnte he l d a eEw ng bna sEy u gu a liar g soh e fp , firedeea at ea f nn t e b sydd e r whichnybc opies artillery Royal Marines, Volunteer Rifle Corps, and 14th ' M.N.I: His Excellency the Governor then proposed three cheers for the Queen, which was followed by a burst of enthusiasm; and re-echoed by the thou sands assembled on shore and on board the shipping and,boats. The band of her Majesty's ship Ame thyst played the National Anthem. Brigadier M'Leod then called upon the troops to give three cheers for the Queen, which was enthusiastically responded to. The Volunteers were so ardent in expressing their, loyal 4 y as to wave their caps in the air. On the departure of his Excellency the Governor, at 8 a.m., the troops presented arms, and shortly afterwards they marched to their respective quarters. The affair passed off with the utmost order, harmony, and good feeling ; a more loyal demonstration could not be wit nessed. We ought not to omit noticing that Government-hill flagstaff, the Masonic-hall flag staff, and. the ships in the harbour were gaily de corated with flags, and the morning being a fine one, added to the happy feeling manifested in every face. The only fact of the fortnight, beyond the sur render of Amethie is the issue of a new interest Order. The interest on " Company's paper," the Indian debt, may henceforward be drawn in Eng land, holders receiving not a specified sum in cash, but bills for the number of rupees to which they would be entitled in Calcutta. The Order- was so badly worded that the brokers at first imagined transfer in England was disallowed. A second notification from the Treasury, however, removed the difficulty, and some large sums will be sent home. The price has not, however, risen so rapidly as expected, Company's Five per ents. remaining at 51 discount. _Both Orders are annexed. " THE INTEREST ORDER. " NOTIFICATION. " Fort William, Financial Department, Nov. 12. " The holders f Indian Government promissory notes are hereby , informed that, from and after December, 1858, interest on the promissory notes will be made payable, if desired at the East India house in London, by bills on demand on the gene• ral treasuries of Calcutta and Madras, subject to the rules and regulations at present in force, or that may hereafter be issued by the Right Hon. the Secretary of State for India, or by this Govern ment. " 2. When holders of notes in Calcutta desire that the interest thereon should be made payable by bills issued in London, they must present their notes at the office of the Accountant General to the Government of India, where an enfacement will be made on each of the notes in question as follows : " ' Interest payable in London by draught on Calcutta (or Madras, as the case may be.) "3. Notes presented for enfacement at Bombay and Madras will be forwarded to the Accountant- General to the Government of India at this Presidency, by whom the notes, after enfacement and. registry, will be returned to the Presidency whence they were sent for delivery to the holders. " 4. Notes presented for enfacement in India will be double numbered, for transmission, if desired, by halves, in order to facilitate the issue of a duplicate in case of loss in transit. A fee of one rupee will be levied for the transfer enfacement and double numbering. "5. On presentation of the transferred notes at the East India-house, on or after the dates* on which the interest falls due on the different loans, draughts for the interest then payable will be grznted on the General Treasury of Calcutta or Madras, after due examination and check of the notes. " 6. Whenever holders of such notes may require interest to be made again payable in India, the notes must be presented at the East India-house, with an application to that effect to the Right Hon. the Secretary of State, who will cause the previous enfacements to be cancelled, and a fresh facement entry to be made on each note as follows In terest payable in India.' • " 7. Holders of promissory notes in London on which interest is payable by draught on Calcutta, may acquire draughts on Madras in lieu, or vice versa. This object will be effected by a cancella tion of the previous enfacement on the notes, and by a fresh enfacement entry to be made in London. " 8. Every applicant, upon sending in a note for enfacement, must in his application state that he agrees to be bound by the rules which for the time being may be in force relative to notes enfaced for payment of interest in England. "9. Whenever application is made by the en dorsee of a note for the payment of interest in England by draughts on the general Treasury at Calcutta or Madras, the applicant must have his note previously renewed in his own name. Any endorsement made in India of an enfaced note will not be recognised in England. " 10. Interest, payable in Sicca rupees, will be paid in England by bills for the equivalent amount in Company's rupees, at the rate of Company's rupees 106-10-8 for every 100 Sicca rupees. " 11. Any charge incurred in England on account of stamps must be borne by the holders of the PRICE 4 D . STAMPED, SD. promissory notes, and must be paid at the India house on application for draughts. " 12. Enfaeed notes will be received at the East India-house; for renewal or consolidation or sub division, and will be sent out thence to Calcutta, a receipt being given to the ho!der of the notes. The new notes, when received from India, will not be delivered except upon the production of the receipt and payment of a fee of 2s. for each new note, and the amount of postage levied on the notes in trans mission to and from India. _ _ _ " 13. No duplicate of a lost note, enfaced for payment of interest in England, will be issued until notice of such loss and of a loss of an applica tion having been made for a duplicate has been advertised in three successive issues of the London Gozette, and also such other newspapers as the Right Hon. the Secretary of State may direct, in addition to the advertisements in India required by the rules for the time being. in , force in India ; and such duplicate will not be granted except at the Loan Office in Calcutta, and to the person nominated by . the home authorities to receive the duplicate. " 14. In all other respects the rules for the time being .in force in India relating to the issue of duplicates bf lost notes will be applicable to enfaced notes. " 15. Interest will be payable only to the legal holder of a note, and no trust will be recognised. " By Order of the Hon. the President in Council, " C. HUGH LUSHINGTON, Secretary to the Government of India." " Whereas doubts have been entertained as to the construction of paragraph 9 of the notification No. 61, issued from this department on the 12th inst., relative to the payment of interest on Indian Go vernment promissory-notes at the East India House in-London-, by bills on the treasuries of Calcutta And Madras, it is hereby notified that the applica tion mentioned in paragraph 9- of that notification is the applicdtion for enfacement referred to in paragraphs - 2 and 3, and that endorsement made in England of enfaced notes will be recognised in England. " By order of the Hon. the President in Council, " C. HUGH LUSHINGTON, Secretary to the Government of India." CHINA. The following is the summary of the Overland China Mail of Nov. 15 :-- The London mail of the 25th September arrived here on the 9th inst. The only important intelligence of the fortnight comes from Shanghai, where the tariff and trade regulations, s upplementary to the new British treaty with. China, have been -signed by Lord Elie and the Imperial Commissioners; the latter having received an answer from the. Emperor yielding the point, which was referred to him for settlement. In accordance with the system of secrecy which our plenipotentiary has pursued, no official information has been given in regard to the tariff and regula tions; but it is reported that the import Of opium has been legalised under a duty of 30 taels per chest ; that the other duties upon imports have been fixed at an ad valorem rate of 5 Per cent.; and that the duties upon exports have been approximated to a similar rate, excepting those on tea and silk, which remain as they were before. Considering the enormous tax which we place on the import of tea into Britain, Lord Elgin could not, with any face, have demanded a reduction of the compara ' tively, trifling Chinese duty. Lord Elgin and his suite intended to proceed up the Yang-tsze in the Furious, starting on Monday last, the Bth inst., and accompanied by the Retribu tion and Cruiser, with the gunboats Lee and Dove. If practicable, they mean to ascend as far as Han kow, nearly 800 . miles distant, and his lordship will thus be able to determine, by personal inspection, what ports should be opened on the river under the new treaty. Various rumours are in circulation as to the special object 'of this excursion. By some it is hoped, and by others dreaded, that the squa dron may be fired upon by the rebels when it passes Nanking, and thus British power may be brought in conflict with a power in China inimical to the interests of commerce. The expedition was ex pected to be absent from Shanghai for about three weeks, so the report of his lordship's speedy ap pearance at Hong Kong, to which some gave credit, turns out to have been incorrect. We are informed that Lord Elgin expressly prohibited all strangers from being allowed to accompany the expedition. On both sides of the Yang-tsze the rebels have been committing great devastation, and arc said to have slaughtered every person in the city of Luhho, of which they had never previously been able to get possession. The improvement in the state of matters at Can ton continues steadily to progress, though not much business is doing there; and besides the sale of teas, there have been some transactions in regard to cotton manufactures. Elsewhere will be found a translation of Whang's proclamation autho rising the resumption of trade, which was received by us too late for insertion in our last overland issue. There have been no special indications of late of hostility towards foreigners, on the part ,of the people of Canton and its neighbourhood ; but until they get the opportunity of cutting off a few foreigners, it is impossible to know with certainty what impression has been left on their min ds by recent events. On the 7th inst. several fires broke out at Canton, and were supposed—but with what truth we cannot say—to have been the work of incendiaries. Two large junks, belonging to the contractor for the troops, were destroyed, along with a number of bullocks and other stores on board. The bakery was only preserved by the active exer tions of the officers and men of the gunboat Star ling, soon assisted by seamen from other English and French vessels. _ No further intelligence has reached us of the pro gress of the allied French and Spanish force at Cochin. At Manilla, on the 29th ult., three Annamese mandarins, who had been captured by the force, were presented to the Captain-General of the Philip pines, and it was with difficulty they were assured that it is not the custom of civilised nations to tor ture and put to death prisoners taken in war. They had good reason, from the conduct of their own countrymen and neighbours, in dreading death at the hands of their captors ; for two French Roman Catholic bishops have suffered ma.rtyrdom in Cen tral Tonquin within the last two years. One of these, Msgr. Melchior, died so lately as the 2Sth of July of this year. In our last Overland we anticipated that an un fortunate affair between foreigners and Kwang tung men, both resident at Fuhchau, would become a matter for consular . jurisdiction ; and such has been the result. It originated in suspicion, on the part of the former, in regard to the relationships of a certain class of the Chinese population, to which the special correspondent of the Illustrated London News devoted much attention, and to which the Bishop of Victoria did not allude in his letter to the Archbishop of Canterbury, on " the relations of Western Christendom with the population of the Chinese Empire." This suspi cion led to a violent assault by some of the English at Fuhchau, on a party of Kwang-tung men engaged at a private feast, all of whom were severely " punished," and one of whom was carried off, deprived of his tail, and imprisoned on board a receiving ship until released by a man-of-war's boat sent for the purpose. Mr. Medhurst, the Consul at Fuhchau, found it necessary to fine the assaulters ' 100 doll. each, from whence we conclude that they were to a great extent in the wrong. The only local matter of interest in this place has been a long examination in the Insolvency Court of Mr. W. M. Robinet, whose extraordinary proceed ings have attracted the notice of the commercial community on both sides of the Pacific. Some time ago Mr. Robinet went from this, with a cargo of silk he had shipped, to Valparaiso, and on the voy age an attempt was made to set fire to the vessel and cargo. Though this proved unsuccessful, it disclosed that the silk was not silk but gunny bags, worth nothing ; and Mr. Robinet then attempted, or pretended to attempt, suicide. When the vessel reached Valaparaiso, he was non inventue, and it was said he had thrown himself overboard. How ever, after a few days, Mr. Robinet re-appeared, with a story that, vexed by:the deception practised on him and the consequent embarrassment of his affairs, he had intended to drown himself, but was prevented from doing so by the number of sharks and whales he saw in_ the water; that, next, he tried a dose of laudanum, and this had only the effect of setting him to sleep i n an out-o f-the--way corner of the ship ; that he was an honest m that he had been deceiv e d b y t h e Chinese, because of of the services he had rendered to the allied forces on the Canton river •, and if his creditors at Valpa• raiso would only let him go back to China, he would demand the aid of the allied forces in obtaining the arrest and punishment of the Chinamen who had deceived him. He was allowed to go back, and on his arrival here .was arrested on the suit of his principal creditor, the American house of Russell and Co. On his applying for a release, the case of the vessel Mercedes and the gunny bags was not of his style of eon gone into, but *enough appeared . ducting business to wet - e application for micas months to the debtors' riiii9Cli , v,.. T 7 -;" His Excellency Sir John 4owrint .- tett suf fering from severe illness, Mid. it' A e. 1 eted that on the return of the Lieutenant-Governor, now absent on a trip up the coast, .he will proceed to Manilla for the benefit of his lw.lalth. This will probably cause a delay in the pros ecutiOn of one of Sir John's favourite schemes, the ,formation of a Praia, or sea-wall, road and frontage, which are much required for the health, safety, and adorn ment of the colony, but the construct on of which is much opposed at present, partly for private . reasons and partly on the ground that other public works are of more pressing necessity. The Emma, a vessel flying American colours, has been seized, on a charge of debt, by the auth rarities at Macao; and various wild rumours are tr - ying about as to the illegality of the seizure, and the probability of the representative of the Unit ".d. States demanding indemnity and redre s. It hap— pened that the governor of Macao was about to proceed up the coast on a trip at the time of the seizure, and this has been tortured into a proof that he wished to avoid the difficulty ; but . we cannot leari that anything much out of the way has hap pened, or that, if there has been a mistake, it can not be rectified in the usual manner. The 59th Regiment has not yet left Hong Kong for the Cape, but it. is expected to do so . *ithin a week, and in the Lord Raglan, which brought the Ist Royals here. As tenders are advertised for the removal of a number of invalids, it seems that the hospital ship Belleisle will not be sent home at present, and it is likely that the lowest tender wilt be made by the steamer Princess Charlotte. The Cairngorm, Chieftain, Lammermoor, Morning Star, 'Friar Tuck, 'West Derby, and Warrior Queen have been despatched from Whampoa for London, and the Meliora, for Dublin. The Joseph Fletcher has also been despatched from Shanghai for London. ARRIVAL OF I1.1?.H. PRINCE ALFRED AT .3IALTA. MALTA, DEC. 23. On Sunday, the 19th Dec., at. 10 o'clock a.m., H.M.'s steam frigate Euryalus, Capt.• Tarleton, C. 8., on board of which H. Prince Alfred, second son of our gracious Sovereign Queen Vic• toria, is serving as a cadet, entered the grand har bour of La Valetta, under steam from Tangiers. Having saluted the flag of Admiral Fanshawe, C. 8., Commander-in-Chief, as she rounded St. Elmo Point, the salute was immediately returned by the screw line-of-battle ship Marlborough, and on 1 ass ing Fort St. Angelo a royal salute was fired from that fort. Off the Fair-weather Buoy the Euryalus was mt by the Master-Attendant of the Malta yard, Mr. Mainprise, who piloted her to the buoy at the entrance of the Merchants'-creek, and even before the port officer on duty, Capt. Blenkinsopp, of the Marine Police, had admitted her to pratique, the veteran Lieut.-General commanding the forces, Sir J. Pennefather, attended by his staff, pulled alongside in his barge, and as soon as pratique was given, went on board to paV his respects to his Royal Highness, and to invite him to an entertainment for the following evening. The invitation was graciously accepted, and the entertainment came off with great eclat, having been attended by all the elite of the garrison. It was generally supposed that his Royal Highness would land in the afternoon, throughout which the bastions were lined with anxious and loyal subjects of her MajestV, desirous of getting a glimpse of this Royal scion of Britain's Royalty. But their expectations were disappointed for that day by the hoisting on board the Euryalus the pendant for Divine service, usually performed, as was the case with the other ships, in the morning ; and later in the day a Circular was issued by the Governor to the members of the Council, the Lord Bishop of Gibraltar, and the Right Rev. Bishop of Malta, her Majesty's judges, magistrates, heads of civil depart ments, the consuls for foreign powers, as also an order by the General to the military to assemble at the palace on the morning of yesterday. Accord ingly, on Monday morning, at the early hour of 8, the bastions were again lined, and soon after 10 the Vice-Admiral Commander-in-Chief and the Rear- Admiral Superintendent of the Malta Dockyard, attended by their respective staffs, anti the captains and commanders of the several ships-of-war in port, assembled on board the Euryalus, and were pre sented to his Royal Highness. The Prince, accom panied by his governor, Major Cowell, R.E., shortly before 11 embarked in a barge, and between two lines of men-of-war boats, proceeded to the shore under the Royal salutes from the ships in port, which also manned yards, and Royal salides from the garrison, and4anded at the Custom-house, where a guard of honour from various regiments received him, and where he entered the Governor's carriage, with Lieut.-Gen. Sir J. Pennefather, Major Cownl, and Captain Brest, Aide-de-Camp and Private Secretary to the Governor, and drove off by the Caleara-gate to the Palace, escorted by the officers of the military staff on horseback, and followed by the Naval Commander-in-Chief and Rear-Admiral Superintendent, with their staffs in carriages. On entering Porta Reale, as was also the case at the Marina, his Royal Highness was loudly cheered by the assembled multitude, and on passing the Ca thedral of St. John, a merry peal of bells was sounded, in which all the other churches in the town joined. His Royal Highness seemed much pleased with his reception, and repeatedly took off his cap and gracefully bowed in acknowledgment of the salutations of .the people. On. St. George's square, opposite the Palace of the Knights, another guard of honour was in attendance, and at the foot of the principal staircase amidst the thrilling sounds of the national anthem, Excellency the Gover nor, with the two bishops, the military and civil chaplains (Protestant and Roman Catholic) and the chapters of the cathedral and collegiate churches of Valetta, the members of the council and her Ma jesty's judges, greeted and welcomed the young prince. The master of the ceremonies on the occa sion, Lieut. Drake, R.E., us'lcred the prince into the reception room, attended by the governor, the gene rals, the admirals, and the distinguished personages above mentioned. The military were first pre sented. Then came the foreign consuls, who were severally introduced by the doyen of their body. Then followed other presentations, according to rank and station. After about half an hour his Royal Highness left the palace in an open carriage accompanied by the Governor, Gen. Pennefather, and Major Cowell, and drove round the town and bastions to the Pieta. On returning to the palace the prince partook of a cold collation, which had been spread in the Hall of St. Michael and St. George. After lunch the prince proceeded with the Governor to his excellency's country residence in St. Antonio. At 4 o'clock precisely, under royal salutes from the forts and shipping, the prince re embarked on board the Euryalus, with the same naval procession as on landing. On re-embarking, as he passed the Melita (screw steamer), which had just arrived from Liverpool, Capt. Langlands mustered all hands aft on the poop and shrouds, gave three loud cheers, and dipped the colours, which the prince courteously acknowledged. Prince Alfred was dressed in the simple uniform of a naval cadet. He has a pleasing lively counte nance, and the family likeness to his royal mother is very striking. On Tuesday, the 21st, his Royal Highness was entertained at dinner by Admiral Fanshawe, and on Wednesday by the Governor, after which Lady Le Marehant had an evening party at the Palace, which, as well as the whole of Strada Reale, was brilliantly illuminated in honour of the Prince. Over the facade of the main guard shone in con spicuous letters the words " Viva Alfredo." Danc ing was kept up to a late hour, in which the Prince joined, and did not retire until nearly midnight. On Thursday, the 23d, his Royal Highness visited the Opera, the approaches to which were illuminated. On Christmas-day he will dine on board the Euryalus with his messmates, and on Monday, the 27th, the British. foreign, and native merchants, and members of the Chamber of Com merce and Exehange, , a ill give his Roya]. Highness a grand r a rid Tuesday, ball the t h their 1 2 r splendidB thßear-Admiral establishment. eo dr ngton will entertain the Prince at dinner, and in the evening Dirs. Codrington has issued cards to all the elite of the isla n d t o meet the Prince, who will leave for Alexand r i a on Wednesday, the29th. _HE CORNET .
