LONDON TUESDAY MORNING, J UNE 7, 1E142. CHINA AND INDIA, killed. There was not the least doubt entertained of _the r junction of the forces under Generals SALa and Poi.- Loci; being safely effected. Lord ELLENHOURGH was commencing a course of vigorous operation. Accompanied by his Secretaries he had proceeded to the Upper Provinces of Bengal to be nearer to the granil scene of aCtion. It is much roe gretted that Lord ELLENBOROUGH did not pro ceed by the Overland route to India, by which means he would have arrived in Bombay al most simultaneously with the breaking out of the insurrection in Caubul. The news of the murder of the SHAH SOOJAH, by his own people, was confirmed. More welcome intelligence could hardly reach the new Governor-General. It rids him of that worst of all in curnbrances:—a treacherous ally. Great complaints are made of the paucity of officers in active service in India. One Journal states that tb .>re were not two to each company. This is a great evil, unless speedily remedied, m ay prove the destruction of thousands of our men. The war in Affghanistan 1 as already deMonstrated that no men fight better than our Sepoys, when well officered. But without an abundance of officers to lead and encourage the men in battle, and to inspire them with enthusiasm for the honour of th flag, no army cau be expected to fight well. From China the news is of no importance: We give a " Celestial" Proclamation against the "red-bristled La.- barians," which only served to amuse the Plenipott n tiary. The forts along the Canton river were nearly finished, and part of them had been unmasked. A Proclamation had been issued by Sir H. PorrrisoEn, in which it is declared that Hong-Kong and Chusan v ill remain in the possession of England till our demands are 'complied with by the ENPEROIt ; and that they shall be considered free portS, equally open to the ships of all nations. The Chinese in habitants are invited to return and reside under British protection. Amoy is also to remain a free port in our possession for the present. Sufficient warning is to be given, to permit all property to be remo.ed from it shoUld it afterwards be resolved upon to restore it to China. One of the stipulations to be in sisted on before these possessions be returned, is perfect immunity from punishment for the natives sc ho may have thrown themselves on our protec tion during existing troubles. The forces with the Ex pedition were in excellent health. The Head Quarters of the General Staff was at Ningpo. It was understood that the naval and military commanders to the nerth ward were authorised by the Plenipotentiary to act, in case of emergency, according to the best of their dis cretion. The Bengal Volunteers had embarked for Cal cutta ; the 37th Madras Native Infantry were just about :o return to India ; the English troops were ready to By the Overlan I Mail from India we have received letters, papers, and advices from Bombay of the 4th of May, Maiiris of the 13th of April, Calcutta of the 21st, Caubul of the 12th, Cand.ihar of the sth, Lahore of the 10th, and from Delhi of the 30th of the same month ; also from Chutan of the 3d of March, from Macao of the 6th, and from Ilurraith of the 30th of that month. Of this mass- of intelligence the news from Affghanis tan only is-of paramount importance. Since the date. of the accounts .brought by the last Overland Mail, our arms hare sustained two reverses,and achieved an equal number of •triumphs itt AfighaniStan:' • The first'and most important of our reverses is the surrender of the fortress of Ghuznee by Colune PALMER, on,the 14t Of •NI arch, and the supposed slaughter of the garrison by the Glutzces tribe us soon as they had marched out of. the city. CuLYALMER was aware of the murder of Sir Wx. AL•NathrrtN, the seizure • of tieneval I;LPIILNSTONE, and the destruction of the Bri tisn army at Usubul ; and yet, with - an inconsistency for which we find it impossible to account, he stipulated that his' small force should be conducted to a city the inhabitants of -which were madly drunk with the blood' of ,nearly: ten thousand of his countrymen When the • gatiison. .surrendered, Colonel PALMER states than he bad but 300 men ; of whom 100 w,. re wounded ; that he had not more water than would have supplied him forty-eight hours, and that, to escape massacre, no other course was left him. As if apprehensive that all this would not form a sufficient Justification, he adds that General EL PHINSTONE had ordered him to abandon the cita del. This is very extraordinary, and reflects no credit either upon LLPIIINSTONE or PALMEn. That under the influence of fear General ELPHINSTONE, when a prisoner in the bands of the Affghans, should order Colonel PALMER t o evacuate so stron g a fortress as that of Ghuznee, is not more surprising than that Colonel PALMER should pretend to pay the slightest . regard to it. The whole affair appeared to the G,o vernor-General so suspicious that he had directed a court-martial, to inquire intA) the conduit of both officers, and also into that of the political chiefs in connection with the destruction of the army at Caubul. `ph, ' second reverse is trifling and temporary, save that it has cost the country the life :of two brave officers-- Captain HAY and Major AtanouPn.

The r e was no doubt that his second attempt would be successful, as he had difficulty in r streteittg the valou r of his men who called loudly to be l 0 a si k'ond time to the t•hatge. We now come to the really bright side of the picture,. and gfrniously bright it is. The gallant General SALE, besieged in Jellalabiul by A KURAR KHAN, at .the head of 6,000 Aifghans, being apprehensive that AIERBAR was a bout to raise the siege t o attack General Ponnocx in be Khyber Pass, made a sortie, in which he com pletely routed the Afghans; burned their camp, seized all th eir stores and ammunition, and recovered four of the British guns taken at the Caubul massacre.

POTTINGER'S in action. We suppose be is merely waiting for reinforce ments from England. Mr. FERRAND, last night, gave notice that on Wed nesday next he will move an Address to her - MAJEATY, to grant a million of money for the purpose of relieving the distress of the people. Although we deprecate, as a general rule, the interference of the State with the peo ple, such a motion properly carries out the antecedent legislation of the Session. The two Houses have passed a law to prohibit the people from getting food for !ham selves. What, then, is more just or more natural than that they should now take measures to provide them with food and clothing? Mr. FERRAND is one of those who have voted to keep out corn and keep out sugar; he is one of those who voted to prevent the people from feeding and employing themselves ; and he consistently acts up to his principle, and proposes.to allot the public•money to feed and clothe them. He sees that there is no halting between two systems ; either the Legislature must undo what it has done, and set trade entirely free, or it must take on itielf the care of providing subsistence for all the people. A Corn-law imposes on the State the obligation of allow ing no man to want subsistence. That it makes paupers of all the working and poorer.classes, will recommend it to those who are anxious to keep the people in a state of dependence on them. That it will, in a few years, de stroy property and overturn the Government may, per haps, recommend it to the people. To them it will be agreeable to be maintained in idleness like gentlemen, in stead of working hard for poor wages. What will he the consequence of drilling them into expecting their daily food from the Government, when a short allowance and a bloody rebellion will be convertible terms, is not for us, but for Mr. FERRAND and the Tories, to foresee and foretell. The House of Commons took a vote on the timber duties last night, one of the most important parts or the tariff. The Government proposition was supported by the Members of the late Government in preference to any of the amendments which were p?oposed by Mr. I'. STEWART, Mr. ROERUCCK, and Sir H. DoucLA s, although it was not like the proposition they would have submitted to the House when they were in office. Mr. BARING objected to it, indeed, that it was not the best mode of employing 600,0002 of spare revenue ; that it would be better to reduce the duty on butter, cheese, wool, and cotton, if there were any revenue to spare, .than reduce the duty to such an extent on timber ; but as the Government had proposed this plan he would support it. Mr. RoEnccx's scheme for totally abolishing the differential duty, is the one which we most esteem, and we cannot imagine a justification of the Ministers for inflicting so Much injury, as it is said they will inflict, on Canada wood merchants, without being able to say that they do justice to the people of England. llad they done justice by abolishing entirely the di ferential duties, they might have set at defiance the rv clamations 'of interested men—the plan they adopt ad mits the justice of the claims of the very men they in jure. They fail to do justice to the people of England, and they inflict injury on their Canadian friends. They will deservedly lose • the confidence of both Mr. GLADSTONE, indeed, talked, as usual with th,-.t gentleman, a great deal of unweighed nonsense about equality of competition and equality of protection, as if they could ever be produced by any law. Equality of competition and equality of protection are the result: 45r freedom of trade, and every law or every tax interfering with freedom of trade disturbs and destroys equality of competition and protection. He had, too, the Most extraordinary way of showing that there was now ,no inequality that can well be con ceived. The imports from the Baltic have not kept p: tee with the imports from Canada, therefore he in ferred that. the protection and competition were not equal—an inference his logic would never have jumped, to; had he mot known, a priori, of the unjust discrinti eating . duty. A score of other circumstances ,beshius the duty*.might -have caused the greater increase in the Canada trade, though, as- that injustice has been perpetrated, it is fair 'to admit that it has, as Air. • GLADsToNE implied, done much mischief to our Baltic trade. Such gentlemen as Mr. GLADSTONE, however, are perpetually finding out and explaining the mischief done by their predecessors, and renewing that same, or a similar mischief, by their own enactments. A remarkable change has occurred in the spirit r f Toryism. In the State, in the Church, in the Army an,t Navy, and in literature, it was wont to be supercilious, dogmatic, haughty, arrogant, overbearing, and unscru pulous. According to its former assertions, every thing in the State was perfect ; to hint that there were errors in the Church, was no better than rebellion against GOD ; the Amy and the Navy could not be improved ; and books and newspapers contained neither wit nor ar gument, and were at Once set down as vulgar, Unles , they were redolent of Toryism. Ito opponents were un sparingly mocked at by the Tory press ; and by our Tory governors in Church and State, all who impugned either were punished, if possible, with the utmost seve rity. Toryism, in fact, was the Lord of man, and it treated as sinners and rebels all who were not Tories. A few years' exclusion from office, and the experience of the inefficiency of Toryism as the guide of life, have wrought a great change in the Tories. In the State, there is no longer any question that many things requirr, to be improved ; and thu supercilious and haughty Tories are compelled to assume the character of Reformets. Their hypocritical adoption of free-trade phrases, is the homage which Toryism now pays to its ancient and de nounced 'opponent L.- the spirit of liberty. In the Church, a new and powerful sect has sprung up, which can only win its insinuating way by calmness, forbearance, and moderation ; and our once arrogant priesthood now use the language of persuasion instead of comm an d. . They have felt, or f ea r, the same persecution from one another which they have been wont to use towards those beyond the pale of the Church, and their writings begin to show symptoms of charity. Their alarm makes them huinane. First Hlghest Lowest The progress of mechanical power has before now upset a political theory, and the introduction of steam into the Navy, in conjunction with other changes, has almost shamed out of our A rm y an d Navy the unim provable spirit . of Toryism. In politics the Tory p ress , forsooth, is now the tbremost in preaching moderati on . Confidence; self-conceit, and arrogance, are n ow „i ces abhorred by those writers who a few years ago saw per fection in Toryism, and treated with the utmost disdain others who did not worship their idols. They were so confident that they:were always ready to flog an d bayonet men into submission to their system. All this is now changed.. The Tories have seen their system overthrown, and they are bewildered ; they no longer know what political principles' are..true or false, and, trembling for place, power, and shattered institutions, To a style equally gallant and daring General poi._ LOCK forced the Nhfher Pass.on the sth of April. Liei l -• tinaut CUMELNO, a promising young•officer, was hare THE-SU-N, LONDON, TUESDAY MORNING, JUNE 7, 1842. they pule, and whine, and deprecate the vehement and . vigorous exposures made by Lord.Ktst:Atan and the Anti-Corn-law League. Their beloved Corn-law is safe in the keeping of PEEL, and the land is overcome with distress. The Church, they aver, is more pure and triumphant than ever, and crime and misery have largely increased. The landlords boast of their success, and the people are in despair, almost ready to rebel. PEEL has been ten months in office, and the condition of the country is worse than ever. He has been obliged to have recourse to the extraordinary step of advancing the public money to save some communities from starving, and to ask, by a general alms, for help to an inefficient Government and a pauperised people. Facts like these have set adrift the whole Tory theory, and pilotless and rudder less it is driving at the mercy of circumstances on the ocean of politics. It .cannot account for the distress of the people—it cannot account for commercial convulsions. There is, it is said, great abundance of food in the land, yet the people are starving. There are millions hungry and naked, who demand food and clothing, yet the ' people want employment. Wealth is abundant, yet the multitude are degraded into paupers. Property is safe, and yet destitution is the general condition of our Intel ligent workmen. The House of Lords is safe—demo cracy has made no progress : —the Charter is not yet the universal creed,—nevertheless, political society is in con fusion. All these circumstances astound the Tories; and, assuming a mock modesty, they entreat all their opponents to be calm and forbearing. Other men are not to speak truth, because they have not yet learned it. Correct principles are not to be expounded, because the Tories have not yet fathomed them. Toryism, in fact, is coming to an end, and the present object of the Tories is' to prevent the nation finding out and establishing a truer and a better system. The French Journals contain but little news of inter est. lye give the following extracts from them Yesterday we noticed an absurd paragraph about an Eng lish squadron sailing to occupy the Regency of Tripoli; and, to-day, we find the following letter, if posiible still more ridi culous : SUM ARY O ittlElo. AN 1) public eptutott. " IVito runs may read." PO&EIQN. The news from India is important, and 2.3 its substance car:- not be compressed in a paragraph we refer our readers to the summary of it given in our first article. By the arriv,.l of the Levant mail of the Ist instant, we are in possession of advices from Constantinople of the tith Alexandria of the 16th ult., Smyrna of the 19th, and Malta the 26th. Our dates from Alexandria are of the 23d, and from Malta of the 30th ult. The French Government received on Friday afternoon a te legraphic despatch from Bayonne, announcing that the' Spanish Cabinet gave in its resignation on the 3uth ult. The Regent had sent for MM. Olozaga and Ferrer, anti the Presidents of both Chambers, to confer with them on the formation of a new Cabinet, but nothing had been decided. It was said that MM. Oloaaga and Ferrer had refused to take upon the assives the construction of a Ministry. The Cortes had suspended their sittings until the close of the Ministerial crisis. A Bayonne correspondent of the Ist instant states, that a small insurgent rorce had appeared in Biscay, under the com mand of a late sergeant of Miguelites, who, though compro mised in the events of October last, contrived to escape, and had been since concealed in the mountains. " A letter from Toulon, May 30, says :—' According to in formation derived from the best sources, we have every reason to believe that the American squadron in the Mediterraneon is at present in Morocco, and it appears certain that instructions Were lately forwarded to the little Freneh squadron commanded by M. Turpia, relative to the attitude which it was to assume with respect to the American squadron.' " The Journal de Smyrne of the 19th ult., says :—" The French brig La Fleche has just returned into harbour from the coast of Greece. She conhrms the account of the attack by pirates upon the Petit Matelot, and states that no similar at tempt has been made." The birthday of Queen Victoria was celebrated at Vienna by a splendid banquet given by the British Ambassador to the Grand Dignitaries of the Court and State, and the Corps Diplo matique. A letter from Tours states that a company of foreign bankers has made offers to the Government to undertake the exe.ntion of the railroad between Orleans and Nantes.— Galignuni's Messenger. The Journal de Sntyrne announces that serious disturbances took place at Ainatz, on the 4th and sth of May. Ibrahim Bey had caused six of the Primates of the country to he treache rously arrested ; on this the people rose, besieged Ibrahim in his palace, and obliged him to set the Primates at liberty. In this affray nine Turks and three of the rioters were wounded. The latter assembled next day to form a sort of popular Government ; they have also made purchases of powder and ball, with the intention of resisting the troops which may be shortly expected from Constantinople. The Fleche French brig, which arrived at Smyrna on the Idtli, brought arrivals from Arivali of the 12th :—" Outward tranquillity," says the Journal de Smyrne, prevailed in that place ; it is, however, evident front the irritation of the people's minds, that it is requisite for the Porte to adopt speedy and energetic measures. The appearance of the Fleche had an excellent effect at Arivali."— Commerce. We learn from Malta, that the squadron under the command of Vice-Admiral Sir E. Owen, put to sea on the 20th, and on the 24th, after exercising the guns, was seen standing to the northward. Letters of the 18th from Constantinople state that the Otto man Government was highly pleased with the last accounts br - ought from Syria by the Austrian Lloyd steamer. Imme diately on their arrival a Council was held, under the presi dency of the Grand Vizier, at which measures were adopted for the final pacification and organization of that country. According to the last accounts from Trebisond, Sir Joha M'Neill was expected there from Persia, and it was believed that the Locust steamer would remain at Constantinople in order to convey his ExCellency to England. The Lords had a brief conversation last night about locking in on railways, from which it results, that from this day for ward the Dire.ctors of the Great Western will not lock in their pas sengers, but tract them to their own discretion. Lord Denman brought in another General Affirmation Bill, which was read a first time. The Commons forwarded a good deal of private business. Ilr. O'Connell presented a petition from an individual of Belfa.t, pointing out how he had been bribed by Mr. E. Ten nent, which was ordered to be printed, that it may be taken into consideration. BOU USE-PARIS, SATURDAY, JUNE 4. In reply to Mr. W. 0. Stanley, Sir II Hardinge said that some of the correspondence relative to rejecting a tablet from the church at Quebec never reachd eEngland. Sir Henry paid a handsome compliment to the memory of the gallant officer whose memorial the Bishop of Quebec excluded from the eharisit. Addeiley moved that a new writ should be issued for Newcastle-under-Lyme. Mr. Iluase moved to postpone the issue fora fortnight, and he would, iu the meantime, move for a Committee of Inquiry into the bribery practised there. After a short debate the writ was ordered to be issued, after a divi sion of 143 to 97 votes, the Ministers supporting the motion to issue the writ. Last Lord John Russell obtained leave to bring in a Biil for the more speedy and better prevention of bribery at elections. The Bill of the Noble Lord will have for its object to prevent. com promises. From the few words said by Sir Robert Peel, we may infer that the Noble Lord may be able to carry the Bill through the House this Session. In the Committee on the tariff, which was proceeded with after Lord John Russell s motion, the timber duties were dis cussed. The Committee divided on Mr. Roebuck's mo tion to render the duties on foreign and colonial timber equal, which was lost by 243 to 16. Mr. P. Stewart's amendment, to reduce the duty on colonial timber to 55., and on fireign to 351. per load, was also discussed, but no division taken on it. At halt-past one o'clock Sir Howard 'Douglas persisted in bringing forward Isis views on the propriety of fixing the duty on foreign timber at 305., and on foreign deals at 385., atter the 10th of October next, and in negativing Sir Robert Peel's proposal. The Hon. Member said he did so from conscien tiously believing that Sir R. Peel's plan would injure the co lonies. It was impossible, however, to discuss such a question at such an hour, and the Gallant Officer had to address a list less and inattentive House. The Gailant Officer did not even press his objections to a division, but allowed the Government proposition to be agreed to. The scale of duty on timber, as proposed by the Government, was accordingly adopted, and at a Quarter-past Two the House adjourned. Price Pike. Pric..

(Front The Jun of Last Night.) The general tone of the Money Market dues not appear to be • improved, neither has the feeling el uneasiness which has ptrvaded it during the last few days subsided. Some apprehension i ts felt that the circumstances which have obliged the Spanish Ministry to resign, may have a serious effect on its political relations with other countries. Meanwhile business is going on, in the most limited scale, and prices remain nearly as on Saturday, although the Bank broker has purchased about 100,0001. Re duced.

It will Ise seen that speculators for a fall in Spanish have partially succeeded in their object; and the folly of dealing in these and other similar documents will thus be clearly per ceived. Opportunities have been frequently taken in this paper of pointing out the real nature of the transactions usually going forward in them, and, although the most solemn assur ances have been given that the dividend promised in July was actually provided for, yet a fall of nearly four per cent. has taken place, consequent upon a change • of Ministry. If the assertion were true, this event could not affect the prospect of the holders; if not, the quotation now is far above what it should be, and the correctness of the news which have from time to time been put forth is proved. The mercantile accounts by prisate letters from India are generally more discouraging than those by the last mail would have led us to expect ; and both at Bombay and Calcutta European piece goods are now in less demand, with lower prices. The heavy stocks are doubtless a principal cause of this stagnation, but the state of the Money Market, consequent upon the expellees of the war in the North, has greatly added to cominercial embarrassments. From Calcutta it is stated that business was nearly at a stand, and that public confidence was greatly shaken ; while at Bombay the exchange on Landon had fallen to 2s. lid. per rupee fur six months' bills, and 2r. aid. for those at three months ; and Gold had declined to 10, 8 per pound sterling. The intelligence from China is not more encouraging; trade being carried on solely by barter, and the Chinese having al• ready abundant supplies of imports on hand, do not appear de sirous to part with their commodities, which they know we must have, exeept upon terms very advantageous to themselves. The step of proclaiming • Hong. Kong, Chusan, and Arnoy free ports, is, looked upon as extremely judicious, and is expected, in the course of a short interval, to place our trade with China upon a substantial basis. The intelli gence receivedirom China for several months past has always represented the natives as far more disposed to place themselves under the protection of the English au thorities than to remain under their own Govern moot, and this view appears to be fully confirmed by letters received by the present snail. If such be really tare fact, it may be expected that a regular supply of tea, and other produce, will then be obtained. The total quantity of tea shipped to England and Ireland between the commencement of July, last year, and the 20th of February, in the present year, is given at 26,405,788 lbs. The official returns, made up to the 31st of May, state the de liveries of tea, fur the first five months of the present year, to have been 14,357,000 lbs., and for the like period of 1841, at 14,628,000 lbs. ; the stock at present at 33,175,000 lbs., and in 1✓641 at 26 ; 620,000 lb,.

A Special General Court of Proprie.ors was held yesterday at the Bank of England, far the purpose of considering Ad dresses to her Majesty and Prince Albert, on the providential protection of her Majesty against the treasonable attempt upon her life. The Governor, Deputy-Governor, and Directors, entered the Court-room at twelve o'clock ; and the minutes of the last meeting having been read, The GOVERNOR ( W. Cotton, Esq. ) stated that the Proprietors had been summoned together that day in consequence of the atrocious attempt that had been made on the life of the Queen. He could not propose the Address to her Majesty without de ploring that, within the short space of two years the Proprietors had been twice called upon to address her Majesty with respect to atrocious attempts upon her life. In June, 1640, that Court had assembled, for the purpose of congratulating Her Majesty on her escape, by the merciful interposition of Divine Provi dence, from the hands of the assassin, and now they were called upon again to express their attachment to the Queen, and their abhorrence of the atrocious attempt which had been made upon her life. With regard to the atrocious act, he would say no snore, as the treasonable perpetrator of it would shortly be brought to trial, but he could not help observing, that it was a most lamentable fact, and a disgrace to Englishmen, that their young and beloved Queen, whose every wish and thought was to do all she could for the benefit of her people, could not enjoy her hours of recreation, without the hand of the assassin being held up against her.—( Hear.) It was however, gratifying to find when such treasonable attempts were made, that the people of England came forward as one man tie express their horror and indignation at such attempts, and to congratulate their beloved Queen on her provident ial escape.—( Hear, hear.) If it was possible to do so, her Majesty had endeared herself doubly to the nation by the heroic for titude she had adopted since the occurrence took place, and for the firmness she had evinced.—(Loud cheers.) He was sure every Proprietor would feel happy in supporting the Address which he would move the adoption of without further com ment. The worthy Governor then moved the following Address to her Majesty : " To the Queen's Most Excellent Majesty. _ _ "May it please your Majesty— _ "We, the Governor and Company of the Bank of England, in general Coup t assemble d, beg leave humbly to approach your Majesty, and to express our deep abhorrence of the treasonable and atrocious attempts against your Majesty's life. " In common with all }our Majesty's loyal and devoted sub jects, we acknowledge, with sincere gratitude, the interposition of Divine Providence in shielding from danger the sacral per son of your Majesty; and,• we heartily join in the fervent prayer expressed by a grateful people, that your Majesty may, by God's blessing, he preserved long to reign over this great and favoured nai ion." Mr. COOK E seconded the adoption of the Address, which was unanimously agreed to, after a few observations froth Mr. Young and Mi. Fielder. The following Address to Prince Albert was also agreed to, upon the motion of the Covsawoa, seconded by Air. Twix- ING " To his Royal Highness Field-Marshal Prince Albert of Saxe Coburg and Gotha. . _ " May it please your Royal Highness,—We, the Governor and Company of the Bank of England, in General Court as sembled, respectfully approach your Royal Highness, and de sire to express our just abhorrence of the late treasonable and atrocious attempts against the life of our revered Sovereign. We acknowledge, with sincere gratitude, the good pro vidence of God in the preservation of our beloved Queen from the danger to which her Majesty has been exposed. " We congratulate your Royal Highness, and this highly favoured nation, on this signal blessing, and we desire to join iri that prayer so universally expressed, that our gracious Queen may long be preserved to promote the happiness and welfare of a 'grateful people.", On themetion of the GOVERNOR, seconded by Mr. Srucw, the banker of Bristol, it was resolved—" That the Governor and Deputy-Governor should communicate with Sir James Graham for the purpose of ascertaining when it would be the pleasure of her Majesty to receive the Address." The Court then broke up. STEAM NAVIGATION ON THE DANUBE has increased very much during the last year. The number of passengers carried in 1841 was 170,078, the amount of merchandise 513,575 quintaux, which is 44,783 more passengers than in 1840, and 144,943 more quintaux of merchandize. Only a few years ago this great means of communication between the West and East of Europe was wholly destitute of vessels, and we may anticipate still more rapid advances, and more extraordinary changes when the Rhine and the Maine shall be united to the Danube and the Black Sea by the Louis Canal, which is makieg in Bavaria. —lnspartiai (Smyrna Journal). ROYAL .ASIATIC SOCIETY.—The ordinary meeting was held on Saturday. The Right Hon. Lord Fitzgerald and Vesci, President, in the chair. On the proposal of Sir Alexander Johnson, seconded by Sir George :Staunton, Baronet, M.P., his Highness the Rajah of Travancore ss as elected an Honorary Member, on account of the great en. couragement which he had given to science throuahota his dominions, and particularly for his having employed Brahmins to note down the variations of the pendulum. and make other astronomical observations. Three interesting papers were read from Captain Newbold, on the miner.l resources of Southern India, one of which described the rich aeriferous deposits coining down with the streams from the Himala)ah mountains. Although extremely rich in mineral resources, none of the mines had been worked to any advantage hitherto, on account of the expense attending it, and the comparative cheapness with which the metals may be ob tained from Europe. In connection with this subject, it was stated by Professor Wilson, that a Cornish miner had recently' been sent out to investigate the practicability and probable pi oht of workin g them. Sir Th omas B ar i ng , B ar t., and David Salomons,Esq., were proposed as members, and amongst the c o mpany, which was numerous, were Sir George Staunton, Bart., M . l'., Sir Alexander ohnstone, Sir E. Colebrookc, Bart., General Sir Gore Ouseley, Si r H. C om pt on , the Right Hon. Holt Mackenzie, and several other leading members. Maxwell's " hector O'Halloran" is "reaping golden pinions of all kinds of men," and his follower, Marc Antony O'Toole, is improving vastly in favour of the ladies.

The commercial and slave-trade treaties were both, at length, in such a state of forwardness, that there was no doubt 'whatever of their signed within a week or ten days. A Council of Ministers had been held on the Satur day, at which all the questions relating to these nego tiations w ere fully discussed. Some objections were made. by the Ministers of Justice and Marine, but after explanation by Baron Tojal, the Government pronounced its opinion unanimously in favour of tie treaties. The opposition of Silva Carvalho and Rodrigo into had been overcome, and a deep-laid intrigue had become entirely abortive, of which our correspondent has forwarded to us very full particulars. In every human probability both treaties would be signed during the course of the week, and forwarded to Londt.n by the next packet. The ratifications would be exchanged before the end .of June. Baron 'Nal had concluded the most satisfactory ar rangements with regard to British claimants: first, as to the dividends now falling due in London, which he had remitted sufficient 4inds to meet; next, as to the claims arising out of the services of British officers during the .Peninsular war, the first instalment of which, amounting to 12 eontos of rcis, would be paid in Lisbon on the fitl lowing day; and, thirdly, as to the claims decided on by the commission sitting in London with regard to services performed during. the war of succession, the first instal ment. of which* he directed the financial agent of Portugal to pay forthwith on such easy terms as might be agreed on between Baron de Moncorvo and -Lewd Aberdeen, whether 15,000/. or 25,0001., the entire sum amounting to abbat 150,0001.

FRENCH PLAYS ST. JAMES'S THEATRE. Monsieur Bouffe, the most celebrated actor of old men on the French stage, made his first appearance in this country last evening, and a most succesiSei first appearance it was. We know of no English actor to whom exactly to compare Mons. Bouffe. With ail the polish of Farren he has the feel ing of Fawcett, and the versatility of Yates. Perhaps he approaches nearer to what the late Charles Mathews svi , s at his best than any other actor. a He has attained the highest pitch of art to hide it— " Ars est celare artem," and this art Mons. Bouffe possesses in a high degree. The pieces chosen for his debut were calculated to exhibit his pecu liar talents. The first was La file de l'Avare, a pied with which doubtless many of our readers are familiar, it having already been produced at this very theatre in an English dress during Braham's management, under the title of The Miser's Daughter. Mons. Bouffe acted the part of Grandet, the miter, who loves but two things in the world— his daughter Eugenie and his gold. Eugenie loves her cousin Charles, whose father, Grandet's brother, needs a sum of gold to save him from ruin. He applies to Grannet ; Granuet re fuses to assist him ; Eugenie takes a sum sufficient from his stores, and sends it to the brother; the Miser discovers his loss —suspects Charles as the thief—gives orders for his arrest— when Eugenie confesses all. He is furious at first, and de mands her accomplices ; she declares she has none ; he locks her in chamber. At length, however, be rel. nts ; she is mar ried to Charles, and all ends happily. it roes this slight sketch it will easily be perceived that this is a part possessing great capabilities for the exhibition of both of high comic humour and of intense passion. Mons. Bouffe gave the earlier scenes with the true ins comica. The innate horror of the miserly, but otherwise good-hearted old man at anything like expense ; his contempt for biscuits, as being only food for birds, and his preterence for bread and cheese becau.e being the produce of his own farm it cost him nothing; his expression of his belief that he was really generous because he spoke civilly to all he met, and wished well to the poor; the deep regret with which he paid a SUM of money to the notary, and the care with which he ascertained that the balance was right; were given with a nice discrimination of character, a truth to nature, and a quiet humour. loud an absence of effots which elicited roars of laughter and applause. His great scene, however, was the one in which he eiscovers he has been robbed. In this scene Mons. Bouffe was absolutely terrific. There was no raving, no tearing of hair, no ranting, but the whole frame of the old man was convulsed with passion, shaken as with an earthquake ; his passion chokes his utterance, and for some minutes he cannot explain his loss; and it is only by his incoherent mutterings, and by his agonized appearance, that those become aware that some dire misfortune has befallen him. The change that comes over him when his daughter tells him that she is the robber, was finely imagined and admirably executed. The effect produced on him by the utterance of those two words " c'est mot" is magical. Blighted hope, despair, incredulity, and love, ay ! love through all, awaiting but its time to create order out of this chaos, are all depicted in the manner of the old man towards his daughter, when he orders her from his presence en making the discovery. At length the ruling passions obtain a mastery, and the old man eagerly grasps at any thing that holds out a hope for reconciling them. .A friend reminds him that his daughter is nearly of age that then he will have to account to her for half the fortune left her by her mother, and suggests that it would be well to marry her to some one who would acs cept the debt due from his brother as her portion, and give up all the rest. Nothing could exceed the knowing twinkle of the eye, which was the first indication that reason had resumed her sway, on hearing this suggestion ; the features gradually re'axed from the expression of intense feeling which they had before exhibited, and resumed the cold, cunning smile of the knowing man of the world. The acting of Al. Bouffe in this character is of the highest order, and makes us exceed ingly desirous to see him as Harpagon. We know of no actor who could do this, perhaps one of the finest characters Moliere ever drew, such ample justice as M. Bouffe. In the next piece, Les Viva. Peches, he appears in a different line of cha racter, in which, however, he was equally admirable. Al Girard is a gentleman of certain age, living in good style at a chateau, which, with an estate thereunto appertaining, he has purchased in the Department of Lit. and Garonne—he is Mayor of his Commune, spoken of as a likely man to be elected Deputy lor the Depart ment, and is the accepted lover of the Marquise de Chain pagnolles. But notwithstanding all this, M. Girard is not happy ; there is an awful secret weighing on his mind, and the fear lest it should be discovered keeps him in a constant state of torture. Al. Girard had made his money as an opera dancer, and the fear lest this should be discovered makes him miserable. The day of his marriage is fixed ; he endeavour s, but in vain, to break the secret of his former calling to his intended, but is prevented by the inopportune entrance of a certain nephew. To add to his misfortunes, Ninette, a dan seuse from the Opera, and over whom it is more than insinuated that Girard has certain rights of paternity, comes from Paris for the express purpose of endeavouring to induce him to reappear upon the seen- of his former triumphs. This he posi tively refuses to do, but permits her to dance to them in the modern style of dancing, and he is fairly carried salty by his enthusiasm for his art into giving her a lesson in the grand style, and at List into (lancing a ballet. This scene was capitally played by Bouffe and Mille. Forgeot, and elicited roars of laughter. A servant who has been wading these manoeuvres under a table, conies to the conclusion that his master must, be mad ; and the Marchioness. on being in(of med of what has taken place. is tut iously jealous. The affair, however, is at length cleared up. and the Marchioness willingly and knowingly accepts the hand of the dancer. Throughout the piece Boucle maintained the vraisembianCe of the ch iiarter admirably. His walk was superb. It was pit the jaunty sort of step whit h one would expect from a man Whose natural mode of lo comotion was a chassee. The toes turned out, the tot • tering gait, the It izzled wig, the pantomimic gesture, the excess of politeness, all b,tokened the retired danseur. His ineffectual attempts to break the awful secret to the Marquise were richly ludicrous, and altogether his Girard was a first-rate piece of acting. He was called for at the conclu sion of each of the pieces, and loudly applauded. We cannot close this notice Without mentioning the beautifully chaste and pathetic acting of Mademoiselle E. Foijeot as the miser's daughter. The character was most touchingly and exquisitely acted throughout. Their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess of Cam bridge, with Prince George and the Princess Augusta, ac companied by their Suite, honoured the theatre with their presence. Their Royal Highnesses remained to the conclusion of the performances, of which they frequently expressed their • approb 'lion by their plaudits. The house, although not crowded, was well filled. ENGLISH OPERA HOUSE. Revivals of three popular farces, the third of which was The Beehive, were aided in their resuscitation last night by the•varied skill of Oxberry, 0. Smith, and Harley. As Mr. Mingle, the host of the Hive, Harley was rattling, and sprightly beyond measure. His eye glistened as mer rily as a gem, and he whisked to and fro with true mercurial agility. Major Rattan, whose commonest utterance is only in tropes and rhodomontade of the army ver nacular, was the very ideal of military pomposity and punctilio, as given by Mr. J. Bland. Harley sang a new song, entitled 6. When a man weds," which elicited an encore, anti went off as trippingly as its tune. • A new burletta follo Arid, entitled The Waterwitches, which brought a quintuple of lads and love-girls into taking contrast. The piece, assuredly in con sonance with the present regatta-season, represents the sal lying forth on a summer-day of five young squires to Putney by boat ; news of this piece of pleasure-taking comes to the ears of each his sweetheart, who collectively resolve to attire themselves in blouse tunics ; hide their locks under jetting hats, and designating themselves as the " Waterwitch crew. ' to speed their cutter down to the welt-known bridge thereat, and thereupon beat their inamoratos at drinking, smoking, and rowing. The disguised damsels arrive in brave plume at the sign of the "Five Bells," and accordingly challenge their compeer• as above ; but having made poor calculation on the strength of their womanly heads and constitutions, illness, qualms, and faintness, brought on by a few thimblefuls of sherry, soon obliges them to quit the field. On recovery, they again come forward, arid act the bravado so well, that they tempt their lovers to challenge them outright. Terror and trepi dity liereat of course overtake the ladies, who, in their dilemma, determine on resuming their usual habiliments. and so, in their becoming and appropriate beauty, confess themselves in a pleasant denouement . to their delighted partners. Miss Murray, as coxswain to the five damsels, Wilted in her neat-cut crimson coatee, hat. an,l unw hisperables, formed not only a pretty figure, but the most pert arid perfumed little exquisite ima%in• able. The piece was annnunced amidst applause for nightly repetition, and needs but a little judicicous curtailment to render it at once airy and arch. The house wasi full, and highly pleased. STRAND TRi-_.ATRE A new harletta, entitled Boots at the Swan, op'ned last evening's entertainments at this favnurite theatre with no in considerable gusto ; for if provocation, to laugnter, or distention of the diaphragm to its best wid.h, be rational t. ken of the effectiveness of a g;od thing, " Boots " in all conscience causes tt.is in the audience. The plots of light mot sels such as these are in en, ioually so ephemeral and unlabeured, that it. is matter of inconsequence to write them oat, excellence chiefly resting in the " salt" and due seasoning enweaved into the characters during enactment. Hence last night, Keeley , was inimitably droll, not by anything learnt front his text book, but purely by a certain dry causticity of humour, which was scarcely aided by a word, his character being the pout trapl of Jacob Earwig, the "Boots "—one of the tavern fraternity in this kingdom, v. ho are, c..rtes, nerer miter' ior tees share of over-sagacity, while in Keeley's ease, " Boots" is almost deaf. Out of this %tunny of Jacob's rise the absur dities of the piece, and the ludicrous misunderstandiegs which it gives origin to are many, and abounding with fun ; more especially in such cases, where, catching hold with his tympanum just the fag-end of wcrds, he gave them an in Tritons opposition-meaning to that intended, which produced au infi ituite of broad humour. Metamorphosed into the po liceman, as he subsequently was, we must confessedly pi nounce him to have looked the very nattiest of the " Blues." Among the subsidia'y characters, rank Friskley (Mr. J. S. Hall), carried out the stratagem of his part with dispatch, spirit, and cleverness, and the manner in which he interested himself in the eyes of Miss Cecilia Moonshine (Miss Ellen Daly), a romantic young lady, whose heart ad the livelong day is among Mantreds, Rugantinos, and Tancreds, possessed much adroitness of execution. Peter Pippin (J. W. Collier), a lad with an inveterate predilection for jam, and Sally Smith (Mrs. Melville) deported themselves also g en t ee ly. A reviva l of last year's Punch, with its host of comicalities and merriments, ensued, aided by the cleverness of Mrs. Keeley. The house was full and fashionable at setting out, and certainly he who would shake the cobwebs of care from his sides, should, putting preference out of question, pass an evening at this jocund theatre. SURREY THEATRE. Sixteen- String Jack, ~,hich was played for ninety-seven nights at the Olympic, during the past season, was re-produced last night at the Surrey. Ihe advantages of stage room, the aid of a portion of Batty's magnificent stud, and the circum stance of the above theatre possessing a doable company, tended materially to enhance the effects originally produced. Air. George V. , ild appeared in his favourite character of Kit Clayton, with shouts of applause. Dlr. Hicks succeeded Mr. Leman Rede, as Sixteen-String Jack ; and Messrs. Neville, Walton, Goldsmith, and Stoker .gave their aid. Mrs. Vining played the trusting Mary Fer. rers, and Miss Martin, Kit's mistress. The piece was re ceived with general applause : it has in it the elements of suc cess, being taken by the author from his own popular tale of the " Royal Rake," and introducing among other well-known characters of the last century, Beau Brummell, Colonel Hang( r, Toni Bullock, Buckhorse, and Jack Hann. The Opera dancers, Slow. Lebarre and Madlle. Cromini created con siderable excitement by their extraordinary dancing in the third act. The house was crowded to excess. VICTORIA THEATRE. The drama of Jane Paul, which was produced at Easter still attracts at this house, and is to be repeated every evening during this week. A new drama was performed last week, entitled Poor Susan, or the Fate of the Kllage Maid. It is a very good piece, and will, doubtless, give attraction to the playgoers on the other side of the water. The house was very goon, which proves that the exertions of Air. Osbaldiston are still ap[rec:ated by the public. JUVENILE PRECOCITY.—" Boy, what is your name ?" " Robert, Sir." " Yes, that is your Christian name, but what is your other name?" " Bob, Sir."
