There appears to be some difficulty in the work ing of the Provisional Government system in the United States, according to the intelligence brought by the Persia. There is naturally apt to be some conflict of authority, and some jealousy of power between the civil and military rulers. The latter, so long accustomed to the arbitrary exercise of mar tial l a w, are disinclined to lay aside the authority they possessed during the w ar, are very ill dis posed to the suprem ac y of ci vil law, and the prece dence of governors and conventions. There has just been a notable instance of this di scordance in Mississippi, where the Provisional G over _ nor ordered' the formation of two compa n i es of Militia in each county in the State, his object being to prevent marauding by de serters from the Federal ranks, and by returned soldiers of the Confederacy. Possibly General SLocum considered this movement to reflect upon his military vigilance and discipline, for he counter manded the order. Another General went still further, and committed an actual breach of the law by removing a prisoner from the Court-house at Jackson while actually under trial by the civil authorities. This is not the way to restore order and tranquillity to a State, nor to give secu rity to life and property. There are neces sarily many difficulties to contend against in the task of reconstruction, and possibly there may be evils which require to be put down with a strong hand. But it will be absolutely necessary for the central authorities to restrain the arrogance of the military generals if they do not wish the Southern States to be kept in an unsettled and unprofitable condition. There must be some dis tinct understanding as to the duties and powers allotted to each party, and the one should no more 3 " "end to 0 t his ep recognised limits than the other. There is no attempt at armed resistance on the part of the Southern people. There can therefore be no possible excuse for the arbitrary exercise of military authority, and certainly the military commander has no more right to interfere with the orders of the civil go vernor or to attempt to supersede his authority than the civil governor would have to give directions to the troops. America has always dreaded a stand ing army, but now she has it she does not appear to he sufficiently careful to restrain its acts or influence. The chief military evils left by the war are the irresponsible power of the military gover nors and the marauding of scattered deserters and wayfarers, which the generals, powerful though they are, do not trouble themselves to check. In the case of Mississippi, where Governor STARKEY had thought it desirable to form militia companies to prevent the depredations of negroes and guilleras, General SLOCUM has gone as far as to order all citizens posessing arms to deliver them up to the military authorities. This is an out rageous piece of petty tyranny, and is virtually leaving the people's property in the hands of the guerillas. On the occasion of the forced removal of the prisoner from trial by civil law, Governor STARKEY telegraphed to the PRESIDENT to ask for his return ; but it seems that Secretaries SEWARD and STANTON had decided previously that the mili tary authority must remain to a certain extent supreme in Mississippi, especially in cases of ill treatment of negroes. This, however, is a most uncertain and unsatisfactory method of govern ment. The limits of civil and military authority should be clearly laid down. The laws for the pro tection of negroes should be insisted upon, and no one should be suffered to hold a civil command who will not carry them out ; but it is impossible to restore the order and prosperity which will be the best security for the negro as for the white man if military despotism is main tained. It is thought that in consequence of such open defiance of his authority Mr. STARKEY will resign. It is said that the killing of negroes by the whites continues to be common throughout the South, and shows how cruel was the forced and sudden change to the unhappy blacks. Had the laws been modified, the lives of the blacks protected and their family ties respected, and further traffic forbidden, the great change might have been brought about by degrees. The black man would have grown gradually accustomed to freedom and used to depend upon himself. By the time he was actually thrown on his own resources he would have known how to provide for his family, especially if the pay ment of wages had been insisted on for some time before the actual emancipation, so that the freed men should have some money in hand to start with. Having been designed as a military measure rather than as a philanthropic effort no regard was had to the consequences to the negro, but he was sud denly thrown on his own hands in a time of social disorder and political convulsion, when white men hardly knew how to live. Forced upon the unwilling whites they treat him with indifference, if not with cruelty, and the Government finds itself in a position of consider able perplexity. Mr. JOHNSON will find his burden grow heavier instead of lighter, unless he treats the Southern States as he would treat the Northern ones, and remembers the painful and humiliating position in which they are placed, and the bitter ness which must linger among a defeated and im poverished people. The grant of a free pardon to JEFFERSON DAvis would go far to pacify the Con federates, and every now and then the President receives a remainder of the interest felt in the fate of his illustrious prisoner. A petition on his behalf has just been presented to President JOHNSON by the ladies of Hollyspring, Mississippi, and it would be a graceful and gracious act on the part of the chief magistrate of the people to show mercy to a fallen but distinguished foe. Let us hope he will accept the opportunity. The proceedings of the Fenians are likely to give rise to some uneasiness. Ireland is now the great object of their ambition, and guns and men are to be sent thither. Archbishop KENRICK, of St. Louis, has acted boldly and patriotically in openly declaring the Association to be illegal and immoral, and refusing to admit members of the brotherhood to the Sacraments of the Church. The Archbishop very sensibly declared that the conduct of the Fenians was likely to endanger the relations be tween England and America. It is time that per sons of recognised position come f orward to denounce the,proceedings of this riotous brotherhood, who are holding meetings throughout the Southern States, and who will find plenty of turbulent spirits to support them. Mr. JOHNSON, in taking ' leave of the Colombian Minister, expressed his desire to preserve peace and free institutions. To do this he must be more enlarged and liberal in his views, having regard not to the prejudices of Re publicans or Democrats, but to the natural wants and wishes of the great body of the people. their present rulers as the fly in the fable of going out of the parlour of the spider. We may form a pretty correct idea of the manner in which the liberties will be respected by the recent attitude assumed by the Prussian authorities at home and abroad ; indeed, it is much the same, and the Press is evidently tobe gagged as an avant courier of events. A journal in Berlin announces that its printing-office has been visited for the purpose of the authorities ascertaining the names of the persons to whom the journal was sent. Search was made among the portfolios and packets on the premises. Really it is, in some sort, a disgrace to the people of this country to be intimately connected with a Government that perpetrates such outrages on civil rights and on the national usages and cus toms of a constitutional people. The same game is carried on in the unfortunate places which have come under Prussian rule. The former editor of the Halsteinische Blatter, who was a short time ago arrested by the Russian authorities, has been taken to Freiderichsort, where he will be in close durance. It really seems as if the Prussians contrived an excuse for seizing this gentleman before the change of affairs took place. In this, as in other things, unhappily, it would ap pear that might is to triumph against right. The Governor of Holstein is much more moderate in his address, and in some respects this was to be expected, for the Austrian Government is far more conscientious in its mode of procedure, and we do not observe in its policy so much force and cunning as in that of its, unscrupulous rival. Field-Marshal von GABLEZ, the new Governor of Holstein, has entered on his vocation with more geniality than his fellow-worker in Schleswig, and he makes the forcible appeal to them that he may receive the same kindness at their hands that the Austrian troops have shown to the inhabitants. He also has the magnanimity to admit that there are great difficulties in the way of maintaining the Govern ment with success. The Prussian Governor ignores -all such minor considerations as these, no doubt thinking that the emissary of a monarch who rules by divine right will be able to change all things to suit his purpose. In order to meet and overcome these obstacles, the Governor of Holstein relies upon the good will and confidence of the people, and no doubt he will gain these in a great measure, for he is fair in his views and frank in his language. He makes a promise, also, to allow the native-born citizens of Holstein a share in the public management of the affairs of the city. This is a very great thing, and it is worthy of com ment that the announcement of such a plan is conspicuously absent in the Proclamation addressed to Schleswig. That duchy is indeed to be pitied, for it has lighted on evil days, and the lines have fallen upon it in anything but pleasant places. It is stated that a perfect agreement exists between the three great Powers—England, France, and Russia—as to the Salzburg Treaty, and that they have long since " exchanged views " on the subject of the Gastein Convention. This is very likely true, but not the less is it a scandal and a reproach to them, as the leading Powers of Europe, that they have sanctioned such a course, and been compelled to approve such proceedings tacitly, if not openly. A new act of the strange and sad drama of Schles wig-Holstein has just commenced, and who shall say how it will terminate? RECENT WILLS AND BEQUESTS• - - (From the Illustrated London News.) The will of the Hon. Emma Maria Foster, formerly of George-street, Hanover-square, and late of Avenue-road, St. John's Wood, was proved in the London Court, on the 22d ult., by her son-in-law, Henry Francis Shaw Lefevre, Esq., the sole executor. The testatrix was the daughter of the twelfth Baron St. John, and married, in 1806, the late Rev. John Foster, of Sarrat, Herts ; and died on the 23d of July last, at the age of 83. Her will bears date so far back as 1842, in which she therein appointed as trustees the Right Hon. Sir George Grey and the Right Hon. Charles Shaw Lefevre ; and has be queathed to her said son-in-law the whole of her property,including the sum of £5,000 over which she had the power of disposition under the will of her late daughter, Emma Elizabeth, the wife of her said executor and son-in-law, H. F. Shaw Lefevre, sub ject to the payment of an annuity of £7O to an old and faithful servant. The will of Sir Henry Pollard Willoughby, Bart., M.P., of Baldon House, near Oxford ; Berwick Lodge, Gloucestershire ; and Lower Brook-street, Hanover-square, has been administered to in the London Court, and the personalty sworn under £lBO,OOO. The will is dated 1861, and, there being no executor appointed, the grant was made to his brother, now Sir John Pollard Willoughby, Bart., formerly M.P. for Leominster, and a member of the India Council, to whom he has devised his estates for life, and then to his said brother's male issue, and leaves the personalty in like manner with the inheritance of the freehold. The testator succeeded to the title and estates on the death of his brother, Sir Christopher, in 1813 ; and died, unmarried, at the age of sixty-nine. He has sat in the House of Commons since 1831--first for Yarmouth, then for Newcastle-under-Lyne, and represented Evesham from 1817 to the present year. The will of Sir Joseph Paxton, Knt., M.P., late of Rock-hill, Sydenham ; Derby House, Chats worth; and New-street, Spring-gardens, was proved, in the London Court, on the 4th inst.—the acting executors being his sons-in-law, the Rev. Edward Ridgeway, George Allcard, and Charles Markham ; George Wythes, of Bickley, Kent, also an executor, having renounced. The personalty was sworn under £lBO,OOO. The will, with a codicil, is dated April 7, 1865, the attesting witnesses being Frederick Hetley, M.D., Upper Norwood ; and I. P. Moore, clerk to Messrs. Currey and Holland, Old Burling ton-street. Sir Joseph died on June 8, at the age of 62. The will contains many specific bequests. His plans, drawings, and print (by Harding) of the Crystal Palace, garden, and grounds, he presents to his Grace the Duke of Devonshire, which herequests his Grace will allow to be placed and remain at Chatsworth, and also leaves to his Grace a com plete set of the Gardeners' Chronicle from its commencement to the present time, for the use of the gardeners on his estate. He leaves to the Royal Horticultural Society ' a copy of each of his works on botany and gardening. Earl Granville, Lord Richard Cavendish, Lady G. Cavendish, and others of distinction are requested to accept of 19 guineas each to purchase a ring or other memento of him. He leaves to his son-in law, George Henry Stokes, all his books, &c., on architecture ; bequeaths to his housekeeper and to another servant annuities of £25 each ; to his coach man, footman, cook, and housemaid, each £25 ; and legacies to his other servants. He bequeaths to his wife, Lady Paxton, an immediate legacy of £l,OOO and his house and furniture at Darley, Derbyshire, together with £2,000 a year. The residue of his property he divides into seven equal parts—leaving one -seventh to his son, George ; another seventh to e daughters. having entered Sir ito his grand son, G eorge Paxton, on his attaining 28 ; n and the rem a i n i ng fi ve-sevenths equally amongst his five Josephcersttaain tes, in conc f l o us r io th n e , that, contracts construction of railways, &c. viz., a railway Mauritius, also in the Argentin e Republic, and an undertaking in the Wyken Colliery—these and all other existing contracts, as w e ll as ot h ers i n pros - pective, shall in no way be stopped or hindered, but carried on as though he had survived.

Lieute nant-Gen. Von MANTEUFFEL has just put forward the principles upon which the new regime is to be based. As might be expected from our past expe rience of the amenities of Berlin rule, the Circular is short and anything but conciliating. It comes to the point at once, and sets before the annexed Duchy the laws by which, in future, it is to rule its course, and measure its standard of efficiency. It is no light thing at the present juncture to pass under Prussian rule, and those who are evil disposed need wish their enemies no worse fate. In this pro clamation we find that matters are not minced, and no false gloss and fair semblance are imparted to the mention of the manner in which affairs are to conducted. The people of the Duchies are informed that they are transferred to a separate administra tion, under "the authority of the King of PRUSSIA." This last fact speaks volumes as to the expectations which are to be formed for their management. The Lieutennant-General goes on, however, to affirm that government by Prussia " signifies justice, public order, and the advancement of the general pros pjueristtiyee forma. ,, ltis certainly somethi n g n e w t o he ar th a t a component part of Berlin rule, and as to the general prosperity being promoted by such an event occurring as the transfer of rule from Den mark to Prussia that is also a most astonishing cir cumstance. The real meaning of the whole affair is, however, doubtless made manifest in the passage which mentions that the new Governor will regard the interests of the community, and in return will expect obedience to his Majesty's commands." No doubt he will take very good care that his expecta tions are realised, and for that purpose will call to his aid all the assistance which the laws can give him, backed by the force of arms. There is no probability of more lenity being shown to these lately acquired subjects than has been ex hibited in the treatment of those born under the sway of the Kings of Prussia. All the minor arrangements are being completed with respect to the Government of Schleswig, and those who fancy that the State will speedily be emancipated from the contest of the Prussians are very much mistaken. In both. cases the inhabitants of the Duales will find they have as much chance of getting rid of LEGAL APPOINTMENTS--(From the Law Times of to-day).—Mr. Hanson, of the Chancery Bar, succeeds Mr. Trevor at the Stamp-office. Mr. Charles P. Phillips has been appointed by the Lord Chief Justice Revising Barrister for the City of London, in the place of sou, who las been appointed to the stilz2p-efact. THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 16, 1865. LATEST INTELLIGENCE. ANNEXATION OP LAUENBURG BY PRUSSIA. RATZEBURG, SEPT. 15. A royal proclamation issued here to-day, and countersigned by Herr Iron Bismarck, delares that Prussia takes possession of Lauenburg incompliance with the wishes expressed by the Representative Assembly of that Duchy. The King of Prussia assumes the title of Duke of Lauenburg. The proclamation promises to protect the well established rights of the Duchy, and appoints the Prussian Minister for Foreign Affairs to be Minister for Lauenburg. The latter will carry on the Government in accordance with the existing laws of the Duchy. The proclamation further confirms in their pre sent offices all Lauenburg officials subscribing to the oath of allegiance to the King of Prussia. Count Arnim is appointed Commissioner to take possession of the Duchy in the name of the King of Prussia, the ceremony of doing homage to the King being adjourned until such time as the King can receive it in person.

PLYMOUTH, Friday. The Union Company's Royal Mail steamship Saxon, Commander H. Hoffmann, from Table Bay, Aug. 14th ; St. Helena, 22d ; and Ascension, 26th, arrived in the Sound this morning. _ _ The Overland Mail has arrived, with dates from Calcutta to Aug. 8, from Hong to July 29, and from Melbourne to July 25. Her cargo consists of 1,025 bales of wool, 150 bundles of goat and sheepskins, 4,125 bundles of hides, 10 cases of aloes, 10 cases of ostrich feathers, 5 cases of merchandise, 70 ankers of wine, 1 case and 5 kegs of wine, 6 packages of whalebone, 11 bales of buchu, 2 cases of drugs, 1,402 bags of copper ore, 47 packages of old copper, and one box of coins. Among her 64 passengers are the Hon. Mr. Rushworth, Colonial Secretary ; Captains Gilbert, Cawosso, Hooper, Robeson, and M'Aulay ; Majors Armstrong and De Roy ; Dr. Crane, and the Rev. Mr. Kesler. The Cape Parliament is still in session, as busi ness has been obstructed by the opposition of the eastern members to the bill introduced by the Go vernment for the annexation of British Kaffraria. Their opposition was discontinued in consequence of several of them returning home. The railway schemes are still under consideration, as several members are opposed to the extension of railway works at present. A bill for the construc tion of a railway in Namaqualand, to facilitate the transport of copper ore from the mines, is in pro gress through the House. A proposition was made to the Assembly, through the Government, by the Diamond Steam Navigation Company, to run a line of mail steamers for a subsidy of £lO,OOO per annum, which proposal was declined, but they were granted all postage money accruing from letters forwarded by their steamers, which it is supposed amounts to about £l,OOO per annum. INDIA. The Natal Legislature has resolved to give a subsidy of £1,700 per annum towards a telegraph line connecting the two colonies, via Free State. The war between the Free State Boers and the Basutos is progressing without a prospect of cessa tion. It is now carried into Moshesho country, and that chief is said to have evacuated his stronghold Khabo Bosigo, and to have given orders to retreat before the Free State commorandos now invading his territory. Basuto women and cattle have taken refuge in the mountains. There is no improvement in the colonial trade during the last month, business in all branches being very dull, and complaints are general throughout the colony ; but it is thought that the commercial cr i s i s . w hi c h h as f a llen upon the eastern province, and more especially in Port Elizabeth, has been fully reached, and that commerce there will gradually im prove. The eastern and western being connected in its business relations it is not possible that the one can suffer without affecting the other, so that much of the present stagnation is undoubtedly to be attri buted to the unsatisfactory position of commercial affairs in the east. The Calcutta Englishman says:— " Little worthy of record has happened during the past week. Not only in trade, but in politics, there is a profound lull. Preparations for the coming Bhootan campaign are being vigorously pushed for ward ; everything being, we believe, arranged but the choice of a commanding officer. The force told off for the service is generally considered much too large ; but there is no reason to suppose that more than a portion of it will enter the hill, where the means of supporting numbers are more scanty, and troops must move as lightly as possible to make any progress. The proposal to place the management of the port of Calcutta in the hands of a River Trust has not met with the approval of the Lieutenant-Governor, who considers that such a measure would be both impolitic and retrograde ; and it appears probable that, if created at all, the functions of the Trust will be confined to the construction and manage ment of the long-talked of wharfs and jetties. The reply of the Government to the presentment of the special jury, representing the utter ineffi ciency of that institution, under the new law, as a substitute for the grand jury, is not such as to hold out much hope of a remedy being applied in the ab sence of strong pressure from without, and it is marked, even to an unusual degree, by that curtness and insolence which have rendered the administra tion of the present Viceroy so deservedly unpopular. The Lieutenant-Governor is, we believe, very anxious for the extension of the Eastern Bengal Railway to Darjeeling. So, naturally, are the public, but we fear the Government will not be persuaded to give a guarantee, and we think it is time capita lists cast aside the timidity which requires one. We should think that the line would be a very remune rative one, for it would not only secure a large goods traffic, but the proportion of first• class pas sengers would be much larger than on any of the other lines. Her Majesty's ship Rapid, Commander Jago, from the Mozambique, arrived on the 10th of August at Simon's Bay. A remarkable and painful case has been before the Police-court during the week, ending in the committal of the defendant, Mr. Fraser, the agent of the Indian Peninsular, London, and China Bank, upon a charge of criminal misappropriation of the funds of the bank, to the extent of a lac and a half of rupees. CHINA AND JAPAN. (Form the Hong Kong .hail.) There is scarcely any news belonging to the past fortnight that can be called political. The local disturbances in the north, which at one time assumed a seriously alarming appearance, have received a check. It seeths that the Nyen-fei, who have been reinforced by a body of Taepings, have mysteriously found their way northwards, and that those .two bodies have been reinforced by a set of men who have long held a prescriptive right to devastatethe country under the name of the Mahom medan Rebels. Various other bands of " filchers" have coalesced with the other three and brought the number of the northern insurgents up to 300,000. A few weeks ago this force was within about 200 miles of the capital, so near, indeed, that the authorities at Peking were actually alarmed. Troops were de spatched under command of the famous San-ko-lin sin, who fell, as already reported, in alost battle. The latest advices say that his son has taken com mand, and is already breaking up the enemy's forces. This is not easy of belief, as the marauding bands, having no particular object in view, simply retire to quarter themselves upon some other dis tricts, living by the sword alone, and rarely using it against any but peaceful, unarmed people. It appears more clearly every day thatthe Chinese are the most indolently governed of any nation in the East. And these very rebellions are a protest against the mild sway exercised by the Tartar rulers. An improvement has taken place of late, it is true, and that it may go on is the wish of every real friend of China. Of the Taeping rebellion we now hear nothing ; the superiority of foreign arms was too sufficiently decided to hold out much hope to the leaders of the movement. Should the progress of events again bring us into hostile collision with the Chinese the very name of foreign arms will serve to command submission. A short but severe typhoon has occurred during the past fortnight. The centre of the cyclone was somewhere about Swatow. Two fine steamers, the Corea (Peninsular and Oriental) and the Chanti cleer (private), which left Hong Kong shortly before the typhoon came on, have not since been heard of, both vessels being bound to Swatow on their pas sage up the coast. As nearly a month has elapsed since the date of their departure, there is only too much reason to fear that the unfortunate vessels have foundered at sea. The Union Company's steamship Roman, Com mander Win. - Strutt, from Plymouth, arrived in Table Bay Aug. 13. The Albany, from Table Bay, arrived at St. Helena Aug. 7. On the 14th of August three ships were on the patent slip in Table Bay—viz., the Clipper, the Johanna Maria, and the Christopher Colombo. The Saxon spoke, August 18, lat. 25 45 S., long. 6 04 E., an English ship showing third distinguish ing pendant 9,248, from Fou-chow-foo for London; 20th, lat. 20 50 S., long. 08 15 E., the English bark Palestine, from Colombo for London ; 21st, lat. 23 19 S., long. 2 58 E., the English ship Proserpine, from Bombay for Liverpool ; and 22d, 50 miles from St. Helena, the English ship Black Prince, from Fou-chow-foo for London. All is quiet in the neighbourhood of Shanghae. The Chinese disciplined forces, encamped at a place called Fung-wang-shan, are now commanded by a Mr. Winstanley. We are, we fear, gradually encroaching on the old empire. ENGLISH PICKPOCKETS IN PAR I S .—TWO English women, named William and Newton, were tried on Thursday by the Tribunal of Correctional Police for picking the pocket of a lady at the circus in the Champs Elysees. The women denied that they were acquainted with each other, and both affirmed that they were milli ners, and had come to Paris for the purpose of making purchases. The counsel for the woman Williams also produced a number of testimonials as to her respectability. The prisoners each resided in tho Cite Bergere, but at dif ferent hotels. !The charge appeared clear against the woman Newton, but less so respecting the other accused. The Court, however, believed them to be confederate; and condemned them to 15 months' imprisonment. BRISTOL INDUSTRIAL EXHIBITION.—Lord Palmer ston having been compelled by indisposition to abandon his intention of attending the opening of this exhibition on Tuesday next, applications have been made to the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Lord Stanley, and the Duke of Argyll to supply the place of the noble Premier. These applications have, however, all been unsuccessful, prior engagements preventing an acceptance of the in vitation forwarded. A meeting of tho general committee was held yesterday, at which it was resolved that the Mayor (Mr. W. Naish) should be requested to under take the task of op en i ng t h e exh ibi t i on .

The day iS to bo obsorvoil as * Turning to Japan, there is not the same pleasing prospects for us. A Japanese at Nagasaki has been running about the foreign settlement there cutting down Chinamen and foreigners right and left. The man has escaped. We do not see that he has killed any one, but he has wounded sundry people. This may be a case of running amuck, but we think it much more probable that the man is some cri minal from gaol, who has been released on con ditions that he should make a raid upon foreign residents. The Japanese policy is to make the place too hot to hold us. They are as determined as ever they were to keep their country sealed. Sir Harry Parkes has received the usual official visit from one of the Yokohama magnates. This has little political significance. AUSTRALIA. The Melbourne Argus says in its summary : " While we write the fate of the tariff is still uncer tain, though we can entertain but little doubt as to the course the Legislative Council will take. The measure comes before them to-day for its se cond reading; and as the Ministry have persisted iu sending up the Tariff and Appropriation Bills rolled into one—a bill to provide supply and also to appropriate revenue—the two houses will be brought directly into collision. The Council will undoubt edly respect English precedent, which the Assembly hag violated, and will either decline to consider the bill further, or throw it out with a stronger expres sion of opinion as to the conduct of the Ministry. A very strong petition was presentedon the 27th inst. to the Council, praying them to throw out the tariff. It was from the merchants, bankers, and traders of Melbourne, and bore 31,175 signatures. What course the Ministry will take in the event of the rejection of their bill is still matter of con jecture beyond the Ministerial circle. Various rumours are afloat. It is said that they will Continue to collect the new duties on the mere authority of the Assembly, but we cannot bring ourselves to believe that they will follow a course so unconstitutional or dangerous. Of the operation of the altered tariff itself the country has now had five months' experience, and the results are exactly what its opponents predicted they would be. The official tables of revenue for the half-year ending 20th June show that the Trea sury had not been replenished to the extent antici pated by the Treasurer. The protection inciden tally if not intentionally afforded is proved to be " a mockery, a delusion, and a snare ;" and the intercolonial trade of the port, which has been gradually increasing and becoming more securely established, has been injured in a very serious degree. The manner in which the Land Act has been ad ministered by Mr. Grant, President of the Board of Lands and Survey, has led to some strictures on his conduct, language, and bearing, which have induced him to commence a suit against this journal for damages, the amcunt of which he fixes at £lO,OOO. Mr. Grant has succeeded in obtaining the transfer ence of the venue to Ballarat in place of Melbourne, by which - the trial, originally fixed for August, will be postponed till October. leavo not yet Wawa tlto couutl7 whether they are prepared to recommend more fre quent postal service with England, or whether we are still to enjoy only monthly communication under the new contract. Rains have fallen all over the country, and there is no lack of water. The season has been singularly cold, and in the more elevated portions of the colony snow and frost have been experienced, sometimes, indeed, severely. At sea there has been an unusual number of wrecks. THE GOLD FIELDS. The severity of the weather, the frost and the snow, have somewhat hindered work at the Wood's Point and Crooked River crushing mills ; but we still have occasional accounts of laige returns, in addition to the more ordinary yields of an ounce or two to the ton. Thus a late crushing of twelve tons from one of the reefs produced 1170 z., fifty tons from another averaging five ounces to the ton. The Loch Fyne and Fern-tree Company has been been mentioned before now for its large yields, and the last report of its proceedings shows that from 328 tons of stone crushed up to the middle of last month, the total produce was 2,2610 z. 18dwt., an average of nearly seven ounces. Then some capital yields have been obtained from the reefs at Stringer's Creek, on the Gipps Land side of the range, as is the Crooked River—one parcel of 60 tons having produced 2790 z.; another, of 150 tons, 5650 z.; and a third, of ten tons, 4 00oz. At this time of year there can, of course, be little prospecting amongst the mountains, but a few more reefs and new veins of good stone have been discovered, even within the last month. A new and rich reef has also been opened not far from Dunolly, six tons of the stone first raised pro ducing 660 z. Work has been commenced again in earnest on the Pyrenees Reef, which used to be famous for occasional high yields, and a late crush ing of sixty tons from it produced 180 oz. From the old and best known claims on the deep leads at Ballarat the yields are well maintained, although, of course, some of these fall out of notice for a time, owing to the breakage of machinery, the flooding of the mine, or other accidents inseparable from this kind of work. The returns obtained by the Band of Hope Company for the last four weeks were severally 6530 z., 1,5870 z., 77440 z., and 700 oz. Several of the companies around Daylesford are now tread ing closely on the heels of those of the second class at Ballarat in regard to the weekly yields, and the same will soon have to be said of other districts as well. A nugget of tolerable weight—viz„ 16i-oz., was found a few days since in one of the claims at Gooseberry-hill, Dunolly, and a few days before that, again, the owners of the same claim turned out one of 700 z., these having been the two largest found for some time past. MISCELLANEOUS. THE LEICHARDT SEARCHING EXPEDITION.—The expedition formed to search for Leichardt, the explorer, started on their mission from Glen gower, near Castlemaine, on Monday, the 3d July. The expedition consists of 8 men of bush experience, 14 camels, and about 40 horses. The party are expected to meet their leader, Mr. M'lntyre, at Mount Murchison, on the Darling, and until then they will be commanded by Dr. Murray, who accompanied Mr. Alfred Howitt on his mission to convey the remains of Burke and Wills from Cooper's Creek to Melbourne. Of the camels, nine only are fit for work, the remainder being young ones, born in the colony, which cannot yet be separated from their dams. The party take a full collection of useful seeds for scat tering through the country, and also a number of articles suitable for presents to the aborigines, such as fish-hooks, handkerchiefs of brilliant hues, mir rors, burning-glasses, fishing lines, wax matches, Jews' harps, tomahawks, pannikins, knives, &c. The Legislature of Victoria have voted £5OO in aid of the expedition, and it is believed the neighbouring colonies will contribute in an equally liberal spirit. Lectures are being given in Melbourne for the same object. Two of the series have already been delivered—one by Mr. R. L. J. Ellery, the Government astronomer, on " Comets ;" the other by Mr. Gideon S. Lang, on " The Aborigines of Australia." IMMIGRATION RULES.—Aniended immigration regulations have been framed, and will come into operation on the Ist of August next. Under the new regulations persons desirous of sending for their friends or others in the United Kingdom will have to pay—for male as sisted immigrants under the age of 25, £2 ; between the ages of 15 and 40, £5 ; and aged 40 and upwards, £B. The sums previously payable were £3, £B, and £9 respectively. For females the reductions are proportionate, the sums payable here for assisted passages for them being:--under the age of 15, ; between the ages of 15 and 40, £1 ; 40 and upwards, £5. The amounts at present charged are £2, £3, and £5. Ther is also a reduction of the amount usually paid by emigrants for bedding and utensils, from £1 to 10s., when leaving England. Power is given to the Park-street Emigration Commissioners to select ten married couples for free passages for every hundred female immigrants, to accompany them in each ship engaged to carry single female immigrants. EXTENSIVE ROBBERY.---The discovery was made about three weeks ago that Government deben tures to the value of £lO,OOO had been abstracted from the Melbourne branch of the Union Bank of Australia. The suspected thief is a former cashier named Fletcher, who obtained leave of ab sence sow time since, and proceeded to England. The debentures were deposited in a box, the owner, a Tasmanian gentleman, retaining the key. The num bers were—£2s debentures, numbered from 46,138 to 46,177 ; £5O debentures, numbered from 40,057 to 40,078, and from 42,410 to 40,418 ; and £lOO numbered from 23,800 to 22,879. The box was opened early this month, and it was then found that the debentures were missing. It was subsequently ascertained that Fletcher before his departure had the lock picked, and sold a number of debentures in the city. MARKETS—This Day. COVENT GARDEN.

On 1 hursday morning the marriage of Mr. Frede rick Calvert, second son of the late General Sir Harry Calvert, Bart., G.C.B. and G.C.H., and Lady Lucy Herbert, eldest daughter of the late Earl of Powis, K.G., took place at the parish church at Welchpool, close to the fine old family residence, Powis Castle, in Montgomeryshire. The day was one of great rejoicing over a large district in Montgomeryshire and Shropshire. The wedding party assembled at Powis Castle, and, soon after 11 o'clock, proceeded to the church. The party comprised the Earl of • Powis, the Countess of Powis, the Duke of Montrose, Lord William Graham, Lady Emily Foley, Baroness Windsor and Hon. Misses Clive, Mr. and Lady Susan Smith, Lady Mary W. Clive, Mr. and Lady Charlotte Montgomery and Mr. W. and Miss Montgomery, Hon. George and Mrs. Clive, Col. the Hon.

Along the pathway leading to the church were 40 young fe males, chiefly connected with the town of Welsh pool, and some of them scattered flowers on the path, while the others held arches of flowers, under which the bridal party passed. The church was crowded in every part. The ceremony was per formed by the Ven. Archdeacon Clive (uncle of the bride), the bride being given away by her brother, the Earl of Powis. After the conclusion of the cere mony, the newly married couple and friends re turned to Powis Castle, where the Earl of Powis gave a sumptuous breakfast to above 70 guests. About three o'clock the happy pair, after receiving the cordial congratulations of their friends, left Powis Castle for Walcot, the Earl of Powis' seat in Shropshire. At Bishop's Castle, Llanfyllin, Welshpool, Mont gomery, and other places, considerable rejoicing took place this week. The town of Welshpool was gaily decorated. Death of the Earl of Strathmore. Yesterday morning intelligence was received in town of the death of the Earl of Strathmore, who died on Wednesday at Glamis Castle, Forfarahire. For more than 12 months his lordship had been suf fering from an attack of paralysis. He sought the mild climate of Spain after his partial recovery, but to little purpose ; and on his return home he re paired to Glamis Castle, where he had the benefit of a mother's care during the lest few months. So re cently as the early part of the week his lordship appeared in his usual health, but unfavourable symptoms appeared, and he died on Wednesday, aS above stated. The late Right Hon. Thomas George Lyon Bowes, Earl of Strathmore and Kinghorn, Viscount Lyon and Lord Glamis,Tannadyce, Sidlaw, and Stradichtie, in the peerage of Scotland, was the eldest son of Thomas George Lord Glamis, by Charlotte, daugh ter of Mr. Joseph Valentine Grimstead, and was born 28th Sept., 1822, so that he had not completed his 43d year. The late peer married, 30th April, 1850, the Hon. Charlotte Maria Barrington, eldest daughter of Viscount and Viscountess Barrington, but her ladyship died prematurely in Nov., 1854, without leaving any issue. The late peer was for merly in the Ist Life Guards, from which regiment he retired in 1846. In 1852 he was elected a re' presentative peer of Scotland, but at the recent election he withdrew his name as a candidate on account of his indifferent health. His lordship suc ceeded his grandfather as 12th earl on the 22d Aug., 1846. For some years up to the autumn of last year the Earl of Strathmore was a supporter of the Turf, and expended a fortune in the keeping an ct , training of a stud. Latterly his health precluded him from taking any part in sporting matters. The first peer, Patrick Lyon, of Glamis, was one of the hostages for the ransom of King James (- delivered to the English in 1424. The ninth Lord Glamis, who was Captain of the guard to Jae°, VI., was created Earl of Kinghorn, and the thud earl obtained the Strathmore title, with remainder to " heirs and assigns whatsoever." On the nine, earl marrying the heiress of Mr. George Bowes, 01 Gibside, Durham, he assumed that gentleman's nave; In default of issue the ancient family honours and estates devolve on his only brother, the Hon. Claude , born July 19, 1824, and married in September , 1853, to Frances Dora, third daughter of 01 Oswald Smith, of Blendon Hall, Kent. The presen t earl was for a short period in the 2d Life Guards' He has a youthful family.
