The HAVELOCK Memorial Fund ought by this time to have realised our most sanguine expecta tions. It has still to do so however—the sub scription lists are still open—the public sympathy in furtherance of the object of- its originators is still earnestly claimed by them in memory of the heroic dead, the pure.minded, gentle-hearted, self forgetful, self-sacrificing Haveeoeie! "Soldiers," cried that gallant Captain to his troops, on the 17th of 'last August, addressing them through the General Order- after.the action at Bithoor, " Sol diers ! in drat moment your labours, your prlia tions, your sufferings, and your valour will not be forgotten by a grateful country." In that moment—the Hereafter. For Sir H. HAVELOCK, himself, " that moment " has long since arrived —it arrived within two days after his last and most glorions aehievenient—the relief of Lucknow. From the date of that fatal morning, when the saviour of the beleaguered city fell a victim to his long -continued and preternatural toils-:--dying not by cannon shot, or by bullet, by bayonet thrust, or by sword stroke, but by sheer physical ex haustion:—a.ll time in his regard since then has been .indeed with. a solemn significance—the Hereafter. And in that moment, in . this mc , men% surely we may.echo back to him his own noble _words—" EeNierl rztr icao:trs, your privations,. your vel.our 'net forgotten by a grateful - Those great lahours, those terrible privations, that matchless valour—we still bear tenderly and reverently as a nation in our remembrance. We remember that althotigh Sir H.

Yr": th o defence of Jellalabad. It was he who commanded the right column in the attack upon. MORAMED AKBAR at Tazeen, in the conquest of Caboul, and at the capture of Istaliff. It was HATEnocz, again, who acted as Persian Interpreter to HUGH Lord GouGH at the battle of Maharajpore. In 1845 and 1846 ho passed through the deadly campaign of the Sutlej—through the sanguinary battles of Moodkeb, Ferozeshah, an'd`Sobraou : in the first of these three fearful conflicts having two horses shot under him, and in the last, one—proofs posi tive of his having been in the thick of the horrible carnage.- In the springtime of last year, 185'1, be took part with the heroic OUTRAM in the brief but eminently successful Persian Expedition. Subsequently -- every one knows the glorious sequel by heart—the advance of Sir HENRY HAVELOCK, with his handful of heroes, through that disastrous wilderness of death, Bengal—then, far and wide, through its length and breadth, in a state of bloody, cruel, mad, and pitiless insur rection ! It was an advance made through all but overwhelming masses of the rebel soldiery— through one almost continuous struggle, hand to to hand, during eighty-seven awful days of march ing and fighting. Ripping their way through the serried ranks of the insurgent sepoys—through some deadly missile discharges from the can non's mouth—the little band of warriors, mark ing their path by the trail of their dead enemies, advanced upon what was then the very heart of the rebellion : and two days after the relief of Luclipbw, HavzLocx4e Bold and the Victorious was no more—had en laid low by the very triumph thus mournfully achieved. The history of his life and death forms a grand and instructive Remembrance. Dead himself—his name Eugland will not - willingly let die. Thousands have already responded to the appeal for some fitting public commemoration of the last, and not the least, of the Heroes of Hindostan. London, for the most part, has answered the call—buf, have the rich City Guilds ? Nay, for that matter, have the majority of the wealthy mercantile firms of the metropolis ? Have the more affluent among the great commercial towns in the provinces ? Liverpool ? Has Birmingham ? Let the sub- suription-list answer ! . . . It is dumb. A silence so remarkable should be broken. We 0111 upon those guilds, upon those firms, upon Liver pool, upon Birmingham, upon the capitals of com merce all through this busy and prosperous land of ours, to swell tha funds of this patriotic memo. rial—the memorial of the heroic and lamented HAVELOCK. We trust that the hope expressed by the ,Chancellor of the Exchequer on Friday, that the Government. of India Bill would pass through committee during the present week may be fully realised. There is no point of principle remaining for discussion on which long debates can be anti cipated. The only subject that can lead to ar gument, is Mr. GLADSTONE'S motion that the first members of the Council should be named in the bill. We have already adverted to this point, explaining that it was the original intention of the Government that such should be the case, so far as the nominated members of the body were concerned. Subsequent investigations, how ever, disclosed sundry oljections to the course, and we have no doubt that when those objections have been fairly stated tho House and country will accede to the course adopted, after mature consideration, by Lord STANLEY and Mr. DISRAELf, and their colleagues in the Cabinet. The President of thicjn,liA Board has given notice of slndry arnencltneAts to be introduced into' the till when in 'committee.. They are,, however, merely inteedel to provide greater faci lities for working the Legislative machinery. And the publication of these amendments will enable the different members to consider the several points, and to make .• up their minds with respect thereto ! There will be no factious opposition. That day has gone by. Lord PALMERSTON has go': his quietus. He has received a painful but salutary 'lesson, that he is not the accepted leader of the liberal party. His hope of political dictatorship has vanished. Be must ex necessitate submit to his exclusion from office. There is no plausible prettxt, No excuse that can be resorted to. Every trump card has already been played, and he could not succeed in gaining a single trick. Majorities of 62 and 93 respectively were great facts, which "Made' him wise, and opened his eyes To a sense of his sittntion." The mauling ho received from young BENDIGO, when he took up the cudgels that had fallen from the nerveless grasp of the Bedford pet, showed the grave mistake into which he had been betrayed, and he might have exclaimed with a well-kno 7711 character— " A..' I hed known he had been en canning of fence, I'd have Keen kien d---d bviote I had ratid , lled with hirn," He is therefore virtually bound over to keep the peace during the remainder of the session, and his quondam colleagues and followers are included in the same recognisances. With the best disposition, therefore, to get up any row, by which he might accomplish his object, or even annoy his successors in office, he sees no oppor. tuuity of gaining any advantage' that should not be purchased at too high a 'Orin; and therefore, as the Times announced on Monday, " The India Bill will pass," and that without any unnecessary It will no longer be made the champ de battaille of faction fights, as disgraceful as any that ever t)ok place at Irish fair or pattern in " the town of Nate Clogheen," or the classic plains of Kildorrary. The Lords will deal fairly with the subject. It will be brought fairly before them next week, earlier than has been anticipated,. and they wilt certainly not waste the public time by unnecessary procrastination or useless delay. The by no means sweet-smelling savours emanating from the " silver winding Thames," and penetrating into the most secret corners of the Imperial Palace at Westminster, afford the best possible guarantee for their industry. They are - already ranting fur their, holidays, when each noble lord can ride his respective hobby with out let or hindrance, and comfort himself with the earned recreation he nutiou that ha has fairly the is enjoying by his zealous attention to bu=rners,. and indefatigable energy. We suppose that the temporary alleviations of the sickening effluvium, obtained at a cost of 1, 5001. per week will then cease. When the select upper crust have migrated, when the ten thousand, who consider themselves " the world" have fled to their country seats, and " London has really gone out of town," nothing were will he done. The lives of the remaining 2,490,000 inhabitants are of. too little consequence to occasion the slightest uneasiness in aristocratic minds. Such at least Would be the case under a Whig iegiine, with either. Lord PALMERSTON' or Lord Jonx RUSSELL at the head of affairs. We, however, hope for something better from Lard'Dmtnv. We can readily discern the .d;fripulties with which the question_ is betet, the PFopriety of entering a very large ex- P"Ylaate until every peint bad . - Letzt . fully copb-4- dered, and it had ascertained whether the ca . luable manure which might be wasted could not be applied to the fertilisation of the surrounding districts, and made to liquidate a considerable proportion of the expense. We must perforce be contented with make shifts for the present year, but these should be of the best character, without reference to cost, which is but of secondary importance, when the health and life of two millions and a-half of British subjects are concerned. EAST NORFOLK' ELECTION. (FROM A CORRUPON'DENT.) So East Norfolk remains with the Whigs. The contest has been a sharp ono as the reports of the polling show, and it is a very instructive one too. Whether we would or no, having shown our face in the county, as we made fret, to tell.our readers last week, we were forced to be present ; for we had old friends there, and old friends hotly in for a contested county election, as some of our readers may know, will not let you rest in Landon if you can give them a vote. Yon may tell them that you care little which candidate beate, but they will ask you in tones to which you may not for old acquaintance-sake be insensible, whether you do not care that they should be on the winning side ; they will find out some mere showing of a reason why, of the two, their man should be yours if you do vote, and vote you mast and share their ,hospitality for a day whether you can spare the tidie or not, at peril of their to dis pleasure. You may give a majority of one,-1--you may help to make a small majority a little better, or, it is just whispered, you may render a mino• rity loss despicable. What with such considera tions, and the good old fame of Norwich for "cooping" voters likely to give the slip, what could any one do but obey the summons? And how, then, didyou vote? some inquisitive readers mayask. We beg to remind them that we are out and outadvocates for secret voting, and how then can any one pre sume to ask us what our vote was ? We wish, however of course to be obliging to all our friends —so to our liberal friends we may reply—we voted for the most liberal candidate ; that surely is all they wish to know. And to our Tory friends, for some we have, and good ones too, men who can pardon all our Radicalism, because we can afford to be independent and straight-forward, to them we say, we voted as our father voted before us. 2'hat we are sure is an answer which will satisfy every true Conservative, for how could the past be conserved if we do not stick to the ways of our forefathers ? Tuesday morning opened with no small solicitude to both parties. Who was to win no mortal can tell. A leading Tory lord has been mortally affronted by his party, and it is understood emancipated his tenants pro hac vice; " they were to be at liberty to vote as they pleaSed," a boon, the meaning of which they well understood, and doubtlesa used it aright. Other Conservative landlords have, of late years, veered round to Whiggism, and had proved their power at the last election. Still the Tories had been making unusual efforts . Sir HENRY STRACEY had been first and actively in the field, and it was to be, on his part, a thoroughly determined fight. We went at eight o'clock to the Norwich polling booths, where the arrangements were very good ; on each side of the Hall wh ere criminals were tried, and the foot of the hill, on which stands the castle, from which they would look down, if they could, on the free and independent electors below, we found two broths, surmount. d respectively with the names of STRACEY and COKE, and so widely separated that even Irishmen would have found it not so easy to "kick up a shindy." However, the not very large crowd which surrounded them showed no disposition to do so. All was wonder fully quiet. A large proportion of the voters were not personally known to the spectators or each other; rosettes and colours were rare. Cabs with properly tinted, placards were almost the only conspicuous party devices, though we did notice one • large orange flag with " CORE AND REFORM" for its motto. His opponent's favourite motto seemed to be—" VOTE FOR STRACEY, THE FARMERS' FRIEND." A friend they do need, they generally think, no doubt, with the best wheat at forty shillings a quarter. But we doubt the old cry is now used up. Farmers think that a bad harvest in France would be a better friend to them than anything a legislator now can do. Well, and what again of the two candidates and the contest ? We cannot, we fear, add .much to what we have already sail. Sir HENRY STRACEY calls himself a Derbyite out and out. But it is generally thought there is a very much more stiff necked Toryism in him than in the Noble E He is supposed to be one of the old hard class of Toriee, and to be almost frightened at the liberal doings of the Cabinet, by whose leaders be swears. Truly or falsely such is his repute among the Radicals; that uow large body, therefor's, in East Norfolk almost to a man voted for COKE A Con servative of the STANLEY type would, we halieve, have triumphed ; but a " farmer's friend," and a breeder of nothing, and of less than nothing, if he could help it, put some little opposition life into the Independent Liberals. Then they did get Mr. COKE—one clear political, noted above his antagonist. He would vote for the etbo/ition of Church-rates, if it ever came before the Com mons again, and would have voted for it had he been in the House. This was at least an advance ou Lord PALmEr.sToN. It told far too much in old Norwich, with its forty parishes, where a large number of voters live, and where church-rate contests have been bitter. As to the Ballot— well, he had not thought much about it, but be would do so ; and the report was that, on that point, he was to be considered squeezable. We quite believe that he is ; that he would at any time vote for it rather than endanger his seat. The battle is an instructive one both to Whigs and Tories. The former must see that they will have to advance from the PALMERSTON and Rus- SELL position if they are to beat even an old school Tory. The latter will see that they, too, must look out for the most liberal men of their own party even - fur - the - counties. - The very laud- lords themselves aro beginning to - move on a little with the spirit_of the times, and _when the pre- sent fathers are gathered to their fathers, the sons will be found to have made a considerable ad• Vance. Let the Liberal leaders also know their weak point, and liberal Tories their strong one. Some of the Whis canvassers in the country dis tricts told us frankly that their greatest diffi culty was the indifference of their party. Voters alleged openly that the Tories were doing better than the Whigs bad done ; and in the midst of hay harvest, and when they were riot even to have a glass of 'ale and a piece of bread and - cheese for riding; ten or a dozen miles it might be, why should they put themselves out of the way for siiel in.!-Kever theless Mr. OOZE' has won.- An auceStrat name,' . _ . deservedly Poirdar among Norfolk agrfculturistS ; the turning round of many of the Tory lan.dlords —on which before long we may have something to cay,for the gehorill . good ;" the banging out. the vaguo "RefOrm"..flag; , tho-Parlianieutary Churoh- z4 . e abolition ; and . the alleged hardge.o of his opponent's Toryism, are probably the chief causes of his victory. A triumph it hardly was. Not five per cent, on the voters polled ) and much less than that on the registered constituency. Oul best wish for him is that he may be as good a man for his day as his father was fur his. mE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, JUNE 30, 1858. PRINCESS'S TBEATRE. The "Merchant of Venice" continues its successfel career at this house, and such a wonderful production deserves more than a passing notice. 'We haVe again visited the Princess's Theatre, and it would be impossible to convey to our readers the impressions made upon us by Mr, C. Kean's last crowning triumph. The "Mer chant of Venice" has one great advantage over Mr. Kean's other brilliant revival', namely, that it unites to a spec tacle as varied, glowing, and effective as that of "Henry VIII.," an opportunity in the principal character, Shylock (which " Henry VIII." did not equally afford), for the display.of all the marvellous powcrs of Mr. C. Kean's mind. The grand, bold, Michael Angelo out line—the minute, exquisite, Watteau-like finish—the passions in all their intensity ; the burning, galling sense of long arrears of wrong ; the deadly hate, the withering scorn, the bitter sarcasm, the thirsty ven geance, the ravenous cruelty, and those beautiful touches of pathos which makes Mr. Kean's Shylock hueadn. Alt these elements were never before so finely combined into such a gorgeous 'aim en scene, such a succession of exquisite, brilliant, and accurate scenes and tableaux vhans. "Henry VIII." and the "Winter's Tale" may vie in spectacular effect with the " Meechant of - Vence," but the. characters of Cardinal Wol :ay, or Leontea—perfeet as Mr, C. Kean's Woleey and Leontes were—in not afford the same scope for his singular and most effleent genius that Shylock does, "Hamlet," which is divested of all show and splendoar, and "Lear," to which there is comparatively but little, at-e the only other characters in Mr. Keeled Shake.perian reviver, in which his astonishing powers and energies, mental and physical, have full play.. Oi all She ke-pere'e plays the " Merchant of Venice" is one of the most agreeable, and cornett° us as a relief after the grand and solemn trage iy ot(„eLeite r " Suspense, (me l d the greatest secrets dramat,ipintereet, wlas never Ao a bly manage d as i n the Calketacene, an-i in the court of justice. The heart strings of the audience are strained almost to cracking their tension is as great as if the scene were a reality then going on in cur Central Criminal Court. When Shy lock. whets his knife, an involuntary shudder passes through every frame. People who know the play by heart forget they know it, or rather forget that it is a play at all—for the time it is reality. Mr. Kean is Shylock just as he is Hamlet, and al he is Lear. Even in Hamlet his declamation is nut finer than in that noble speech, " Hach not a Jew eyes I' &c. Tne pathos of that appeal is so finely contrasted with the passior, the concentrated es,ence of revenge, hate, sarcasm, and cruelty with which the bond is chime I. The expression of couctenance, and the fire of Mr. Kean's wonderful eye, makes us feel that this, indeed, "Is the Jew Which Shakespere drew." Nothing more fini•hed than Mr: Kean's Shylock has been witnessed upon the stage, and it is only the faighe:t art, the most skalted genius, that can present so perfect a portrait. Fcr the lime being, Mr. Kean is the character he imperronates, and how distinct is each character in his hands. Look upon the astonishing change that comes over Shylock when from the triumph of antici pated, ball glutted vengeance, he, as it were, collapses into a baffled, bau',ked, spirit-broken bankrupt: What a study•for a painter or a poet, when Mr. Kean is about to leave the court--wen•al and bodily paralysis suc ceeding to the proud conscioeseeee of power, and to the dignity which force of character lends even to a bad mac. Mrs. C. Keati's performance of Portia , is the most perfect we have ever seen, replete with arch grace and feminine tenderness. The famous speech of " Mercy" was beautifully delivered, and excited the warmest ap probation. Miss Chapman, as the pretty Jessica, was graceful, gentle, and modest. We saw in her the real lady, fresh, innocent, and young. The general cast of the play is most creditable to the performers engaged. A. new farce entitled " Dying for Love," was pro duced on Monday . night. It . is from the pen of Mr. Morton, and consequently very amusing. Miss Murray, Miss Heath, Mr. Meadows, and Mr. D. Fisher played with great spirit, and succeeded in bringing the piece to a hapn termination.

Oa comparing thee() rates with tte English Mint price of 3/. 17s. 104 d. per ounce for standard geld, it appears that gold is nearly 4-10,113 per caita dearer •in Paris than in Lon don. By adv!e3a fr na Hamburg the price of gold is 424 net mark, and the short f-xobauge on London is 13 -n per 1/. sterling. Standard gold at the English Mint price is therefore about 1-10th per cent. dearer in London than in Hamburg. The ceurr.e of exchange at New York on London for bills at 60 days' sight is 109 t 3 109. f per cent., which, when compared with the Mint par between the two countries, shows that the exchange is slightly agaitn-t England. And after making alb wanes fur charges of tramport and difference of interest, the pres e i i krate would here no profit on the I importation of gold from the United Statee.

THE CALCUTTA M •, . ;. INDIA. We have received by express, via Marseilles, our letters from Calcutta and Hong Kong by the over• land mail. The intelligence by this arrival of date is entirely anticipated by the telegraphic communi cation already published from Bombay. The Calcutta Ilurkaru, of May 18, contains the fol lowing : Our troops, which had been previously concen trated like a flail, to strike a great blow at Lucknow and in Oude, have since the dates mentioned in our last summary, been necessarily spread out like a fan to range and patrol as extensively as was compatible with safely over the land through which the rebel forces have been scattered. The system of grand patrols has superseded that of grand en gagements. The groat body of the revolt is broken up in:o a multitude of null guerilla struggles and predatory attempts; but, everywhere, these off shoots and fragments are not only instinct with life, but instinct with the same kind of life, the same nature, the same fell passions and brutal ferocity which animated the original organisation from which they have sprung, like a swarm of car rion insects from come foul decomposition: The rebels are generally handled roughly when met, but so like sword-thrusts in the water are some of the advantages gained, that, for instance, no sooner had Sir Colin left Shabi-hanporethm a large force of the enemy attacked the little garrison of the 92d Regiment, and a few of De Kantzow's ho r se s , left in ttie place, d. ove i Qat° its defen ce's, from which it could nut be stormed, but yet could not emerge— and then sacked the town. On the 28th and 29.11 of April, Colonel Edwar des and General Cotton made a difficult ascent of 18 miles to the stronghold of a noted chief in the Mob ution mountains on the right bank of the Indus, and destroyed the fast ness ; five days afterwards, on May 4, destroying Siltana after a desperate fight with the fanatics, at a loss to ourselves of only four killed and 12 wounded. These sm:2ll combats at great distances from each other show the prodigious change which the whole war has undergone. The Punjabee'states that there is SOME). hitch in our relations with the present ruler of Cashmere, but does not know the cause or nature. thereof. Sir John Lawrence is to confer with RtinglaJg Singh. T r he Chief Commivioner of the Punjab reports the discovery of a conspiracy among the wing of the 4th Native Inf►ntry at Hoosheypore. It was discovere3, six of the conspirators hanged, four transported, and the remainder ordered to Jullun der pending further inquiry. The following extract from Sir Hugh Rose's de spatch on the taking of Garac3ta, bears .on the question of the mutilations : " A young lady has arrived in Calcutta who survived the massacre at Cawnpor'. She was carried over the country by a trooper, and seems to have been cruelly used. I tend you the name and my authorities, as, should she proceed to England, she may bear valuable eviderce. She tells readily all that occurred up to the commencemenl of the massacre, but the recollection of that scene always produces convulsions, and it is inter dicted by her' friends," The following despatches, forwarded by the Go vernment to the Calcutta papers, are selected from a large number, most of which reached England by the last Bombay mail : " Service Message from G. F. E lmonstJne, dattd Allaliabad, May 14, e a.m. "Shabjeba,npore was relieved on the 11th May, and the Maulovee was defo Jed. Cavalry in pursuit. The Chief Commisioner, Punj.tub, reports that a conspiracy was discovered some days age in the di.trict in the wicg of the 4th N.T. at Hosheerarp)re. It was discovered and defeated with much promptitude by Mr. D. Rixon, the deputy-commissioner of the district. Six of the conspirators have been hanged and four transported. The wing was marched at once to Jultunder. Further and stringent inquiries have been suggezted by the chief commissioner. Ail well." " Service Message from Commissioner of Patna, dated May 11, 4 p.m. " This moment receiced a letter from Sir E. Lugard enclosing a telegram far Military Secretary and others, which I have forwarded. It confirms the ne se I sent yes terday. The enemy were taken by surprise, not , xpecting an attack from the west. We bad no one killed, and but few wounded. The enemy suffered severely. Native letters from Arrah said, that both Koer Slag, and Utnina Sing are among the slain. The enemy have fled smith, where it is hoped Col. Corfield will give good account of them." "Service Message from the Commissioner of Patna, _ _ - 13th May, 3 p.m. "A letter just received &.,u M'Dannell, dated Jitopre, May 12, half-past nine a.m., sags, Here we are at Jitopre.

"Oa the Steil inst., when he encamped at Beehea, a large body of rebels attempted to cross the line of rail road towards the north-east, but were driven back pre cipitatly into the jungle towards Jugde,pore. On the following day the 9tb, I marched westward through the belt of jungle of Beetles, round to the village of .Eletternpore near Jugdespore, which was held by the rebels in greet force. Lie at once attacked the position, routed the rebels with some daughter, and occupied the town and house i;f lieor-Sing, where we found guns in process cf being made. The rebels were taken quite by surprise, not dreaming I should advance upon Jugdes pore from the west . , but expecting to be attacked direct from Arrah or from Beehea through dense jungles, where they have strongly entrenched themselves. They are supposed to have fled south to the jungles, and I have stns to Colonel Corfie!d, Who, I hope, has moved to Peeroo, to co-operate with me in driving them out, as I have had very few casualties, none killed. CHINA. HONG KONG, MAY 5. The steamer Pottiorr4r arrived on - the 24tli ult., and brcught on the English .mails of Feb. 25 and March 9 The steamer leaves to-day with the out ward mail. . We have ad vices from Shanghai to the 27th Nothing had been heArd of the Plenipotentiaties since their departure thence for the North. Thu atinese steamer Confucius had just arrived from the Gulf of Pecheli, and reports having seen some reign ships of war there. The state of matters at Canton does not appear to have improved. Much distr.ust•prevails on the part of the inhabitants, who have been leaving the city. Peh-kwci, it is said, wishes to be relieved from the duties of the office he holds, and to retire into the country. His resignation, however, has not been accepted. • The Hoppo, with some other offi cials, are in custody fur seine political matter. The seizure of the Hoppo temporarily . chocked the trade in exports, but business has again been resumed. Large holies of braves are being collected in the vicinity of Canton, and we have received informa tion that attempts are being made to induce the Tartars, and the Keehn, or naturalised•Tartars, in Canton, who together number about 20,000 fight ing men; to 'be prepared to rise against the allies. A high Tartar officer in Canton, writing to an ac quaintance," give it as his theory of the matter that the Tartars are being stirred up by agents of the rebels and thieves, who wish to injure the ban nermen and. plunder the people as they remove their valuables from the city ; and he expresses an anxious wish that " the great general who is in Kvvoon-yarn-sham".—General Straubenze—shevuld adopt instant measures to prevent the Tartars being misled. The explanation may not be worth any thing... _ _ _ _ A — Chinese who attempted to kill a European policeman in Canton has been executed. The English and French consuls have taken up their residence on the Honan side of • the river. The flags of their respective nations were hoisted under the usual salutes. From the North we have .received no ccnarma- Eon of the report of the taking of Nankin by the Imperialists. The rebels, it would appear, are again causing disturbances in the North, and seve ral towns are reported to have been taken by them. At Ningpo some excitement existed, as it was said the rebels were marching on Hangchow, in that neighbourhood. The state of the country stop„;ed communication with the sea districts, and pre vented the usual arrangements for sending fonds into the interior for the purchase of teas being carried out. In the tea districts which supply the Foochow market it. is said the robe's or marauders have also appeared in great force. OA LOUTTA MAT::KETS. CALCUTTA, MAY 17. Exports.--Sitcs the former date there has been a falling of in shipments, and a limited business has been done in produce for Great Britain. Present stocks in the market aro very small, awl holders have blsm induced to show great firmness in prices. The Amciricans have resumed business, bat the effect of the advi,:es from America lik , s been such as to canto a great deg: as of caution in their operation. Imports.—We reported a forinighl, ago that our market was unsettled consequent on the skiuultaneou, heavy ar rivals of twist and piece goods from home. Some favour able accounts being shortly aftex received fccm Fur rackabad and Ilirzapore have caused an animation in our market especially wr grey shit - flogs and madapobams, which have been , sold at. a cy:nsiderable improveinent. Mule twist waa in active in: ; toiry for Lower Bengal and IgiltdZ ; bat tha 'equiv.:rapt Juan completed, the market during the last three or four days has been rather dull and prices have receled 1 to 2 pie per morah. In metals the market for (supper continues dull in the absence of buyers. Iron has been sold to a fair extent, but at rather lower prices. In all other metals there is little doing. The money market continues as easy as before, without much demand for accommodation. The Bank's rates re main unchanged. Government securities have fluctuated a little; they aro not so easily obtainable in cons,quence of the almost daily transfer of the 4's into the new loan. Exchange on London.—A moderato business has been done for this mail. Some Treasury bills at 30 days' sight have been sold at 04.1. to 2s. 14., arid B trings and other first class credits at 2s. Id. Ws have heard of but few transactions in document bills ; they are at 2s. lid. THE CHINA MARKETS. (From the Claim Mail of May 5.) Our dates from Shanghai come down to the 26th inst., and report a very inactive market indeed for all descrip tions of imports. There has been no arrivals from Eng land at Shanghae. The activity in silk noticed in our last had continued, and the settlements since the desp•etch of the previous mail bad been upon a yelp large scale. Prices had declined '2O taels. Purchases during the month 6,0(.0 bales. Of old silk a largo stock is still in'the country. The now crop of silk is reported favourably of. Transactions in exchange had been limited, but rates were very firm, although no actual advance could he quoted. Bank bilis bad been done at 63. id. ; first-class credits 63. 2d. ; and documentary paper at 6s. 3d. On Bombay the rate was Rs. 292. Bullion remains without change. The tea business since the departure of the last mail bad been very limited, as buyers were deterred by the ample figure at which it is now evident the export for the pre sent season will close. At Caut , m, notwithstanding the alarm which existed at the date of our last issue, business has continued steady, and some articles of import, such as cotton and long ells, have been in good demand, at improving rates. Neverthe less, some alarm .bas of late been again excited by the pre sent very unsatisfactory condition of affairs, and although business relations endure, their basis is very insecure. Buyers of tea have not been less active than formerly during the past fortnight ; only one chop of new congou remains on market, with 65 chops of old tea, and as these latter are of unusually small size, it may be estimated that the real quantity available for purchase does not exceed 45 to 50 full chops. Arrivals of new season's congou are this year expected later than uSual at Canton—say, in two or three montha from the present time in consequence of the teamen having found themselves unable to forward their remittances up-country at so early a date as customary. At Hong Kong, the only arrival from England has been the Taymouth Castle, Exchange has ruled as before ; Bank bills baring been down at. 4s. rid., and the rates for other paper remaining unchanged. On Indian the rate is 224. Bar silver is quoted G per cent. premium. Opium h , s been very quiet since our last adviceP, the fluctuations not exceeding 5 dols. to 10 dols. FRANCE. PARIS, TUESDAY.

The illovimento, Genoese paper, concludes its account of the restitution of the Cagliari to the RtOattino Company with the following para graphs : " The Administration accepted the restitution of its steamer, formally declaring that it received it as an act of justice ' and reserving ail izs rights of claim for the forced inaction of the vessel (loss of her use), for the bad condition in which she was restored, for the el!erttions which might be shown by the comparison of the inventories made at the period of the delivering up at Naples with Those made at the time of her departure from Genoa in June, 1857, for the consequences that might :.rise therefrom, ae. well as fvr the indemnities that slyittld be due to the crew. " We learn that the behaviour of the tEnglish to Captain Sitzia and his crew On the .occa,sion of conveying them from Salerno to the Cagliati was• most praiseworthy for its exquisite kindnes-. We, on this account, return public thanks as well to Mr. Barbar as to all those English officers who thus paid homage to misfortune in the persons of the unhappy crew of the Cagliari." • Mr. Barbir's departure, from Turin was delayed a little. in order that ho might be presented to the King, who received him most graciously, and thanked bim for his exertions in behalf of S3r nisn subjects. He (Sir. Barbar) left Turin yester day afternoon, to return to the post at Napl-s, which he appears, font all accounts, to have filled with so much credit to himself and advantage to the public servie3 during recent difficult circum stances.

For all kinds there was a fair inquiry, and Mon day's advance in the quotations was supported. There was a large show of foreign wheat. Holders, however, were very firm in their demands, but we have no change to notice in prices. Barley and malt moved off slowly, at barely late rates. The sho .v of foreign barley was good.

CURIOUS PERAOIIENCII7. —After the late tbunderstt r as a deposit resembling sulphur was observed in several p'fices in this neighloonthood. At Freeborn it lay on the road and grass in some pl ices to a depth of nearly half-an-inch. At Craigton-cottage, near Kissock, the deposit was ob'erved on the top of water caught in a cask from the 'roof of the house, like a think cream. Tau suluhurous subtttanse was skimmed off and dried on a piece of flannel. When dry it was a fine powder, ai.d whin thrown into the fire ignited exactly like gunpowder, making a eliet fizzing noise. Unfortunately-none was preserved beyond what was experimented on in this way. A boat at Craig• ton was powdered all over with the same substance ; a' d a countryman living on the height near Kilmuir says that near his house, in the space of what an ordinary washing•tub would cover, he could lift the powder with a spoon. The heavy rains have t.ince washed it all away. Znt'erit CO u EAST NORFOLK ELECTION. (From the Norwich Mercury of yesterday.) This morning opened with considerable anima tion. Vehicles, horses, and drivers, stood prepared at an early hour to do the bidding of the day, and bring those to the poll who bad to be conveyed there. Two neat and commodious timber erections were constructed on the Castle Hill—one on each side of the Shirehall—the Coke party occupying that on the north, and the Stracey party that oxi the south. Each polling place was divided into four cpmpartments, surmounted by distinct notifi cations for voters from various districts, in which compartment their votes would be received. If less bustle and less apparent excitement appeared to animate the throng of hangers on who hovered round or stood steadfast against the polling places, it was only because of the excellent arrangements made to preserve the peace, and afford every facility to all who had business to transact connected with tit, contest. The voting became eager, and as soon as the re turns could be obtained from Yarmouth and other places, the numbers were issued from Mr. Coke's committee room. Of course, the "issues" were not so frequent as is usual in elections for the city, and, indeed, there were only three or four declara tions of an official character throughout the day, from the reason that Mr. Coke's committee did not think it necessary to issue them piecemeal. Mr. Coke's committee rooms were the fountain of in telligence, for the only intimation that lite existed. in Sir Henry Stracey's locality of Orford Hill, was a small placard placed on the front of the house where the committee sat, with the numbers written upon it. _ About half-past eleven C. Crawshay, Esq., brought up a large body of voters in his carriage drawn by four horses, ornamented with large bunches of flowers. As the day worn on the excitement increased, and the Mercury office was beset by an anxious cr ow d to learn results by our own bulletins. We now give the general results up to three o'clock, but a full description of the progress of the election throughout the day, with the numbers of the poll in each of the six polling places, District.
