Date • • lieference . is one of the miserable concomitants of our present war, that while fighting for a principle, we are supporting an authority which it would be well for the interests of humanity were it extin guished. The barbarous policy of Turkey has pre vailed so long, and become so deeply impressed on all whom she rules, that when, at the instigation of her allies anything liberal is attempted, the dis memberment of the empire is threatened. It is to be hoped that the duties of the Queen steamer will be restricted to the protection of British subjects and prevention of the slave trade by sea, and that we shall not, on this occasion, embroil ourselves in a quarrel which in no way concerns us, and where our interference can be of no advantage. Turning from the Red Sea to the Persian Gulf, the particulars of the quarrel betwixt the Shah and our ambassador will probably by this time have reaehed home. We have two versions of the mat ter ; one that of the Court of Persia, the other of the embassage—the discrepancy betwixt which we shall leavis the reader to reconcile as he best can. Some half century ago, when Sir 'J. Malcolm was deputed to Teheran to arrange our affairs with the Shah, the privilege was demanded by, and conceded to, that somewhat overbearing diplomatist, that the British residency should become_ a'sanctuary, and that every one whom the embassage should consider as an attache should, when so desiring it, enjoy the privileges and immunities of a British subject. Some years since Mirza Ha.shim Khan, a man of rank, when in the employment of the Shah, had married a sister of the favourite wife of the soweign. Having got into disfavour with the court, he, about the time of the retirement of Mr. Sheil in 1853, became interpreter to the embassy. In the interregnuiu of the secretary, Mr. Thomson, and before the arrival of Mr. Murray in 1855, the Prime Minister com plained, that as the interpreter was at personal strife with him, it would be particularly unplea sant for them to meet on official affairs, and he therefore requested his dismissal from the employ ment of the embassy. The question was referred to Lord Clarendon, who, though holdin g dismissal entirely out of the question, considered the main tenance of friendship with the minister so desirable, that he recommended the interpreter to be em ployed somewhere at a distance from the capital. Mr. Murray accordingly determined to attach him to the agency at Shiraz, and thitherward he was in Novemuer about to proceed, • when it was found that his wife was to be detained by the authority of the Shah, and here dissension began. The Shah protested against the arrogande of the principle which gave the ambassador of a foreign power more authority within his dominions than the Sovereign himself possessed. A like claim was put forth by the representatives of no other nation, and was never dreamt of being aspired to even by England, anywhere but in the East. It is now maintained by the court' of Persia that it was not the husband who vas so particularly anxious for the restoration of the lady, and that the suspicion of dishonour should not be suffered to attach to the Shah's harem through her release. Mr. Murray protested against the introduction of a supposed aFfair of gallantry into the negotiations of nations at all, and argued that this was a mere pre tence—that the Persian Prime Minister having se cured one concession had resolved to push matters to extremities. The Shall denied the dispute the character of a national quarrel, and said that it was with Mr. Murray, not with England, that he was at strife, and that to England accordingly he would appeal. Meanwhile the ambassador pulled down his flag, and proceeded to Moosul to take up . his quarters for the present, Mr. Stevens remaining as consul to take charge of British interests. This gentleman, very unfortunately, was most obnoxious to the court of Teheran, and with the Shah refused to have any intercourse, stating that Persia would be responsible for the protection of British interests and the safety of British subjects, and that the peace of two great nations must not be suffered to be en dangered by the dissensions of individuals. Intelli• genes of these things reached Bombay on thel6th Jae. by the Semiramis, which had been on a cruise to the gulf, copies of the correspondence having been forwarded to the Bombay government by the am bassador, with a request for the immediate despatch of a steamer to Bushire. The Assaye, ,Ajdaha, Seinirimes, and Victoria steamers, and Olive sloop of war, were ordered to be got in instant readiness fur sloe. Extensive supplies were said.to have been ordered from the commissariat, and ti land 'force was spoken of as under orders. Much of this turned out to be exaggeration, the Ajdaha and Victoria, which left for toe gulf on the evening of the 19th, with 60 artillerymen on board to work the guns, being the only force dispatched or in con templation. There are not five dozen British sub jects in all resident on the seaooard of Persia, and had these found themselves in danger, they might at any time have sought refuge in native craft, and obtained the protection of our faithful ally the Imaum of Muscat, a part of whose dominionsisclose by. The charges of the expedition as it now stands will amount to about half the sum ex pended annually in the education of 'Western India. Within our dominions tranquillity is nearly universal, and the cold season runs on towards its close without any foray or act of violence on our borders. A considerable force is collected round Oodey pore, the Rana, it is asserted, being alike with his chiefs dissatisfied with the extent to which our interposition has proceeded. It is hoped not the less that the promptitude oft he measures being adopted, conjoined with the. influence and high character of Sir Henry Lawrence, will prevent matters proceeding to extremities, and save from the destruction sure to be the result of the R+ pootana chiefs, whose independence it has long been our policy to preserve. Troops continue to accumulate at Cawnpore, and arrangements advance steadily and tranquilly for the an nexation of Oude. We have scarcely any addi tional particulars on the subject since our last, but there seems no apprehension of our wishes being resisted, or of the occurrence of conflict or shedding of blood. Although the Sonthal disturbances no longer wear the character of an insurrection, the country continues far more quiet. The Governor-General has expressed his dis pleasure at the conduct of Brigadier Mackenzie in the Bolarutu procession affair ; at the same time the ringleaders in the disturbance have been dis missed, and the course pursued on both points ap pears to command approval. Sir William Gomm has taken a final leave of the Bengal army, at the conclusion of a five years' ad ministration remarkable for its nullity. Mr. Frere, commissioner of Scind.e, proceeds on sick leave by this day's steamer to England, Colonel John JaJob, of the Irregular Horse, occu pying his place during his absence. It is now five years since Mr. Frere's administration commenced, and known as he n as to be a man of high principle, of singular ability and discretion, the popularity and confidence he has secured have surpassed the expectations of the warmest of his admirers. Se lected in 1842 by Sir George Arthur as his private secretary, on the recommendation of the late Cel. Wm. Jacob, on the score solely of his merits, Mr. Frere, en the retirement of the Governor, suc ceeded Col. Outram in 1846 as resident at the court of the Rajah of Sattara. He was in office at the period of the death of the chief and appropria tion of his dominions by the British Government in 1848. Our prospective Governor General, Lord Can ning, is at present sojourning amongst us, having arrived from Suez by the Ferozo on the 28th ult. He was received in great state at a landing-place prepared on purpose in the dockyard, but too late in the evening to see about him. The arrangements were altogether new, all previous governors having disembarked at the Apollo Pier, one of the finest landing-places in India. A grand levee occurred on the 30th, followed by a native durbar. On the 31st his lordship visited the caves of Kennery in Salsette, examined the Vehar hills, and closed the day by performing in state the ceremony of turning the first sod of our projected waterworks. The impression made by Lord and Lady Canning during their sojourn has been eminently favour able, and they will leave us, after the visit of a week, infinitely more familiar with the history and topography of our neighbourhood, and manners and customs of the people, than some of our gover nors could boast of at the close of their administra tion. He leaves on the sth, taking Madras in his way to Calcutta, and will assume office about the Ist of March. The Marquis of Dalhousie continues a t Calcutta, winding up the arrangements at the close of an administration of unusual length and auspiciousness, and leaving behind him a name F,carcely perhaps rivalled since that of the days of Wellesley. We intimated four months since the commencement of spinning operations at Mr. Lan don's cotton factory at Broach. The yarns have now come to the market, and are spoken of in terms of the highest commendation. Though made, we believe, exclusively of short staple Broach cot ton, they fetch in the market nearly 10 per cent. more than Manchester yarns of the same designa tion, and orders have in consequence already been xeceived mufacient to keep the factory in constant work for the next four months. Mr. Landon pre pared his estimates on the assumption of Broach yarn fetching English prices, and on this point his expeciations have been realised. We have heard of no contretemps or accident having oc curred amongst his arrangements, and have no doubt that his outlay has kept within the mark. The weather continues cool and agreeable. There is a groat tightness in the money mar ket, and stocks of all descriptions have depre ciated in value. The state of the import market continue; to be very discouraging. Freights have suddenly and rapidly advanced. • MILITARY INTELLIGENCE.

REPORT OF THE BOMBAY MARKET. FROM THE 16TH JAN. TO 2D OF FEB. The Overland Mail from London of the 26th of Dec. was received by the Peninsular and Oriental steamer Singapore on the 24th of Jan. Our money market during the fortnight has become ranch tighter, and the banks, although they have raised their rates of interest to 12 per cent., will only dis c-mnt first class paper at short dates. Securities of all descriptions are almost unsaleable, in consequence of the desire of holders to realise. There is little or no demand for English goods of any description, except at almost ruinous prices. The sales bare been principally for the interior. The demand for all descriptions of cotton piece goods is limited, and the prices in most instances have been un precedentedly low, the demand in general being limited. Coloured goods and prints remain unchanged, both in value and demand. _ _ _ Exchange on England for the mail varied but little, and the bulk of business transacted was as follows :- 25 2&d to 2s 2 9.163 for China and first•class credite, and 25 2d to 2s 241 for documents. On Calcutta we quote rs. 99 at sight, and rs. 97 at 60 days' eight. On iNladras, 99 at sight, and re. 99 at 30 days' sight ; and on China, rs. 215 at 60 days' sight. FEElGHTS.—Freights have advanced, 41. ss. per ton having been refused for seed to London ; for cotton en gagements have been made at 3/. 15s. To Liverpool the rates range from 31. 17s 7d to 4/. To china, re. 20 per candy. CALCUTTA. (From the Bengal Burkaru of Jan. 23.) SummAßY.—Our last half- monthly summary, under date the Bth inst., announced the proclama tion of peace in the disturbed districts, the abroga tion of martial law, .and the re-establishment of the ordinary cour i se of governMent amongst the Son dials. We regret to nay that all theee proceedings appear to have been premature. Peace has not been restored. The savages still show a hostile front, and the peaceful inhabitants of our provinces are still exposed to pillage and massacre. The civilisa tion of our rule degenerates'into effeminacy. We have waited till the last moment in expecta tion of having it in our power to supply to our readers the proclamation respecting the annexation of the kingdom of Oude ; but although hourly looked fur it has not yet appeared. Anticipation is at fault between the two courses of annexation and sequestration. In either case a formal breach of faith will be committed, and if circumstances com pel us to infringe the faith of treaties, we earnestly trust it will be done in the most effectual manner, and that everything partaking of the characteristics of patchwork orhalf measures will be most carefully eschewed. With the exception of the renewed outbreak of the Sundials, nothing of moment has occurred within the fortnight under review. The steamer Oriental, with the mail of 10th December, only reached Calcutta last evening, and whilst we write we have before us the first bulletin from Bombay, announcing the receipt of intelligence from London to the 24th ult. We would direct attention to the proceedings of the Indigo Planters' Association. The body will acquire much influence and achieve a gre it deal of good, by keeping in view the useful objects they have taken in hand, and pursuing them in the practical, eornmon-aonao a kyle stemma-to dia.- tinguish the association. A farewell ball to Lord Dalhousie and Lady Susan Ramsay is on the tapis. The new commander-in-chief, General Amor, len led last evening with groat eclat. THE ANNEXATION OF OUDE. (From the Bengal Hurkaru.) The kingdom of Oude is to be annexed, we are informed on good authority, and we believe that the M Artois of Dalhousie will admit of no other alternative. If the time has come for a decision on the subject of what is to be done, any half measures, such as sequestration or double government, as in the Nizam'e territories and Gwalior, will never meet his approval. If the Gordian knot must be cut, he will cut it effectually. Interference in any manner must be contrary to the original treaties, and since interference has been determined upon, the Marquis of Dalhousie is not the man we take him to ho if that interference shall only be a half measure. We hope to see no such vacillation on his part, and that having once come to the conclu sion that the aegis of Britain must he extended over this kingdom, it will be extended in all its amplitude. Tons will fall a weak dynasty—a par venu King and kingdom, and the work of our own hands. Toe Nuwabs of Oude formerly held the heredi tary rank of Wuzeer at the court of the Great Mogul, and as time rolled on became true mayors of the palace, governing in the name of the King. In 1764, when Kasim Alee, the Nuwab of Bengal, fled before the English to the protection of the Oucl2 Nuwab, the English found the latter in pos session of the person of the King of Delhi, and ruling over the territories still remaining to the Crown. He boldly refused to give up Kasim and thereupon followed the battle and his defeat at Buxar. The Emperor of Delhi also escapeO, and sought refuge in the English camp. After further defeats and Kasim Alee having fled, as the Nuwab was no longer able to protect him, a treaty was made at Allahabad iu 1765. The Emperor gave up all claims for arrears of revenue, and granted the perpetual Dewanee of Bengal, Behar, and Orissa, to the Eist India Company ; and the same company took all the territory from Allaba bad to Corah from the Nuwab of Oude, in trust for the Emperor. In 1774 the disgraceful alliance with the Nuwab Wuzeer was completed for destroying the Rohillas. The English lent their army for the purpose and obtained the cession of the iprovince of Benares and other ;advantages, returning Allahabad and Corah to the Nuwab, the Emperor having in the meantime left the protection of the company. In 1781 occurred the famous seizure of the territories of the Begums of Oude. by Warren Hastings, on the charge of having aided Cheyt Sing in the Benares rebellion. At the same time some terri torry was taken from the Nuwab of Oude himself in payment of the debts due to the company for assistance under the alliance before mentioned. The Nuwab now found he had sold himself to a more dangerous friend than the Rohillas could have proved as enemies. In 1784 the Governor-Ge neral himself went to Lucknow to endeavour to ad , just the difficult questions already arising between the two powers ; but he only succeeded in squeez ing out more money from the Nuwab on account of those endless debts native princes are always, in some mysterious way, owing to the company. When the Marquis of Hastings was appointed Governor-General, he found Oude still requiring re formation, and he pressed the necessity thereof on Suadut Alee, then Nuwab Wuzeer, with the usual success. At that period, however, the English were in a most dangerous position, as they had a war on their hands with Nepaul, and Mahrattas and Pinda rees were forming combinations which threatened to extend to all the native princes. The political posi tion of these powers became so formidable, that the Marquis of Hastings now deemed it advisable to make sure of one friend at least. He addressed him self to the Nuwab of Oude, and found little diffi culty with him. The reforms were no longer obsti nately pressed, and he succeeded in borrowing two crores of rupees from the Nuwals. He also hit upon that curious piece of diplomacy by which he was to be detached from the cause of all the kings and chiefs of India. He was encouraged to declare himself " king," and informed that the English Government would recognise him as king, and erect his territory into a kingdom. Suadut Alee could not resist the bait. In 1819 he proclaimed himself King, and Lord Hastings boasted of this act as dissolving the con nection between him and the Great Mogul, besides placing a barrier for ever between him and all other Mahomedan powers. At the time the success was complete, and the disgrace and contempt into which the parvenu king fell in the eyes of all native princes effectually prevented any coalition. From that date $ the Kings of Oude have fallen helplessly into the and, Qf the Epglish. The energetic princes of more THE OVERLAND MAIL. We have received our files of newspapers and correspondence from India and China. The dates are :—Calcutta, to the 23d January ; Bombay, 21 February ; Hong-Kong, 15th January. INDIA. The following is a summary of the Bombay Times of Feb. 2 : The past fortnight, we regret to say, leaves no room fir our customary complaint of ev - ant of war. like intelligence ; and though the British empire in the East enjoys undisturbed repose, there are serious disqu - eiudes somewhat beyond the limits of its border, and we have at present ships of war on the hostile mission both in the Red Sea and Per sian Gulf. We mentioned a fortnight since that such was the disturbed state of the country round Aden that the resident, Brigadier Coghlan, had applied to the Bombay Government for a detach ment of Irregular Horse, and preparations appear at present to be in contemplation for their despatch. On the 14th inst. the Queen, steamer, was des patched to Juddah, to afford protection to the French and English consuls in the southern ports, of Arabia, and to endeavour to suppress the con test there threatened betwixt the Turks and Arabs. ' From time immemorial a flourishing trade in slaves has prevailed betwixt the ;fief places on the A.rabiau and African shores. Massowab, a 'own of between 3,000 and 4,000 population, is the chief point of export. Sometimes as many as 1,000 slaves are to be found here together ready for ship ment iu vessels of some 25 tons for Juddah, on the opposite coast. About a fourth part of them are believed to die of sickness, or perish by their own hands on the way. They consist chiefly of Gallas, who are smart, clever, and faithful ; men at the age of 25 fetch from $3O to $4O ; a good-looking girl for the harem fetching about double this. Nest to these are the Abyssinians, for the most : part Christians after a sort, entrapped into slavery by the Mahomedans, who inhabit the bor ders of Abyssinia between the mountains and the sea. They are sold by auction, the auctioneer receiv ing a dollar per head, the government raising a tax of about as much more. There used to be about 2,000 slaves sold annually at Massowah ' of whom one-halt were Christians. Some months since the Sultan, formerly the great protector of the slave trade, issued orders to the Turkish authorities at Juddah and Mecca for its suppression.. The order was sent by the Pacha of Juddah to the Kahmukuu of Mecca, who, having referred the matter to the Cadi, it was proclaimed as Imperial, .and to be implicitly obeyed. The Ulemahs and inhabitants on this proceeded to the Court of Justice, to de mand on what authority the abolition of slavery had been ordered. On the firm in of the Sultan being quoted, it was denounced by them as op posed to the Koran, and the Cadi being attacked, escaped with his life, and with difficulty found refuge in the sanctuary. The Kahmukun having I come to his rescue, the order was read a second time, but treated with such scorn that violence im mediately ensued, and numbers were wounded on both sides. The troops having fired at the Muzkin, and shot the priest as he went up to prayer a battle followed betwixt them and the townspeople, in which about a hundred of the latter fell, When a general rising all around immediately ensued. The troops were compelled to retreat, and were beleaguered in the fort. Abd-el-Mentalib, a mal- content at Taif, once in high authority, at this time arrived at Mecca, and almost immediately after Reschid Pacha reached from Constantinople, with instructions from the Porte to seize him and send him to the capital. Sherif Nazir was ap pointed to act in his stead, until the nomination of his successor Mahomed bin Awn. A similar amount of excitement, and from the same cause, had arisen at Juddah, and both places are now in a state of siege. Meanwhile the people told the autho rities that as the laws relating to slavery were founded on the Koran, they must remain unal tered ; and that as the Sultan, who had been always hitherto the most strenuous defender s and vigorous promoter of slavery in these parts, must, doubtless, on the present occasion, have been moved by the allies, the French and English, the flags of these nations must be pulled down, and their representatives expelled. The Pacha of Jud dah, taking the consul under his protection, pro posed referring the question to the Porte, when the multitude declared that unless their wishes were complied with instantly,. they would take the mat ter into their own hands.

STAMPED SD• warlike times have disappeared, and have been succeeded by kings educated solely in the harem, without fear of outward eneinies,and. irresponsible to any one buta friendly and protecting power, and Oude has had a succession of detertable debauchees, who have dis graced the throne and its patrons. Were the English to be strictly bound by the treaties entered into with the rulers of Oude annexation would be indefensible ; but the difficult question how far such treat' re are as binding as the laws of the Medes and Persians ill now he settled. After the conquest of the Pindarees and the Mahrattas, the Marquis of Hastings declared the Eng lish Government the paramount power in India, demand ing thereby a certain sight to interfere in the internal management of provinces within his power. That such a declaration was absolutely necessary far the safety of the English empire cannot be doubted. Yet we feel we tread on tender ground when we attempt to argue that a treaty can be tampered with. The Lightning, from hence Nov. 25, arrived out ' in 80 days. Little importance in news. - The Melbourne wool sales were well attended, and satisfactory prices realised. Gold had declined in price 6d. per ounce, *wing to the bank fixing the rate of exchange at par. The labour market at Melbourne was improving. Agricultural labour demands very remunerative prices. Rich specimens of copper ore have been found at Mount Black Wood, at the depth of 45 feet, 0011. twining three ounces of gold- to the ton.

We condense.the following summary of Austra lian intelligence from the Melbourne Age of the • 27th of November : State of Trade.—Since the depaAdre of the Champion of the Seas business had become more animated, and the -reports from Sydney being more satisfactory there was increasing confidence. The demand fur the interior had greatly improved, and was very lively. Largo quantities of goods were continually forwarded to the diggings, while cart age ccatinued veiy low—in fact, lower than had ever been since the gold discovery. Mercantile transactions had generally assumed a more healthy aspect, and insolvencies were less numerous than they were. THE c3LcurrA MARKETS. (From the Bengal Hurkaru, Jan. 23.) GENERAL REMARKS. Since the issue of our last report, our export trade has not displayed any signs of activity, the business in pro gress being generally on a moderate scale, and the value of many staple articles on the decline, the last advice from home net being of a nature to render extensive operations at all advisable. Indigo appears to be the only article which is firmly held at an advance of about sto 7-8 per maund. . • We cannot notice any improvement in the import . market, either as regards the demand' or the prices of the different articles of British piece goody, in which operations continue to be carried on-with-great caution by native dealers. The state of our money market remains unaltered, and so long as our banks maintain extreme rates of interest and discount no improvement can be looked for. Go vernment securities have been improving during the present week, Sicca four per cents. being quoted at Rs. 18.0 to 18-8 ; company's four per cents., at Rs. 15.8 to 16-8, and five per cents. at Rs. 1-4 to 1.8 per cent. discount. Bank of Bengal shares are firmly held at Rs. 6,500 to 6,525, and other j.,int-stock companies shares maintain previous value. _ _ _ EXCHANGE.—the rates on England have given way, and the last few days' operations to 'some extent were concluded at the following figures :—First-class credits at six months' sight, 2.. gild. to 2s. 2;41. ; document bills ditto, 2s. 2id. to 2s. 3id. ; Treasury and post bills, 23. lid. to ls. lid. On Coina some business has been done at R'. 214 to Rs. 216 per 100 dnls. FRElGHTF.—Shippers not having shown much willing ness to enter into any considerable engagements the rat, a to London had partially declined, but they were rather firm yesterday. A vessel was taken up to lead with a cargo of rice for Mauritius at 1 12, and then to Exchanges.—Banke lowered the rate of exchange on England ou the 19th Nov. to par, and purchased at 2 per cent. discount. This reduction had an immediate effect on the price of gold, which is now_ quoted by the brokers at from 31. 15s. 3d. to 31. 14s. 9d. The Colonial Bank of Australasia wilt shortly commence operations with every-prospect of success. _ _ _ Weel.—This staple had undergone comliderable fluctuations in value. The sales by auction on the Sth ult. passed off with spirit, and parte of stocka of greasy wool, which had previously realised Bd. to 9d., did not realise more than 7d. to 7d.

Labour.—The cry of destitution bad entirely . ceased, and there were few complaints of want of employment. Some judicious stops bad been taken by the Government for notifying to new ar rivals and others seeking information the localities in which a demand existed for labour, and the cur rent rate of wages. The Gold-fields.—The reports received during the previous mouth from the various gold-fields *ere of a uniformlY satisfactory character both as regarded the yield of the precious metal and the generally prosperous condition of the population. Two nuggets, the one weighing 220 oz., the other 240 oz., had been found on the Alma, and a third, weighing 730 oz.-, had been brought to light at Daisy-hill. Discoveries of new quartz reefs were of frequent occurrence, and indications were not wanting of the presence of silver and copper in these conglomerates. Great activity was °bunt able in the works of the ironfounders in Melbourne, and the men employed by the principal firms had been working night and day, in order to keep pace with the demand for quartz-crushing machines. The quantity of gold brought down by escort *as as follows : _ roceed to Bassein and take rice for England at 5/. per ton.

( From the China Overland Mail) THE REBELLION. - As usual of late, we have little news about the rebellion, but it is pot unimportant, and shwws a downward progress. The _Peking Gazette, states that Lu-cliau-fu, after being occupied for two years by the rebels, has been recovered by the Govern ment ; and that the insurgents of Tsuug-yang, in have likewise been routed. Another account, however, states that they continue to wander about from place to place, infesting more p trticularly the neighbourhood of Wu-chang-fu, the capital of the province. In the great province of Szechuen a rising is reported, but it would seem to be local, and caused by a famine, from which no less than 21 districts are Juffering. On the other hand, the rebels of Chin-kiang-fu are exposed to a worse visitation—a sort ofplague, of which it is said upwards of 100,000 have already died. The disease attacks the throat, which speedily becomes so painful as to prevent food being taken. The teeth turn black and fall out, and death is sure and sudden. The commandant of Chin-kiang having sent to Nankin for reinforcements a strong body was ordered to move, but it was encountered by the imperialists, and after a comparatively se vere and bloody stru g gle, gave way and retreated to Nankin. Should the communication between the two 6trongholds of the rebels be cut off, the re capture of Chin-hia.g by ch.. Irp i ,c,ri lie ;- pretty certain, and the evacuation of Nankin by the rebels at no very distant period may be regarded as pro bable. With any other people these cities would have been recovered long ago, but the Chinese pre fer patient endurance to fighting, and generally find it effectual in the long run. The remains of the roving bands who caused so much alarm about Canton last year are reported to be in motion in the upper part of the province, but they are probably not very formidable, as inter course had not been cut off, nor trade injuriously affected.

The new constitution was proclaimed on the 23d of November. On the same day the Legislative Council met for its last selsion, prior to its dissolution. His Excellency Sir Clias. Ilotham, in his speech on the occasion, expressed the hope that the new constitution would be productive of the happiness and prosperity of the eJlony. Ho announced his . intention of transmitting two bilizi—one to regu late the elections, the other to prevent bribery. He expressed his satisfaction at the state of the gold fields ; good order and quiet prevailed gene rally. After alluding to the best mode fur de feuding Hobson's-bay, approving the plan adopted, ,his Exceilency expressed the hope that a measure would shortly be brought brward for the construc tion of railways in the colony. Alluding to the financial condition of the colony, his Excellency said that lie trusted he was justitikk in assuming that, with a few exceptions, the colony would be at the end of the year nearly, it not quite, free from debt. The rebels who have held Nankin and Ching kiang for nearly three years are the only persons worthy of the name, and they have never been as sociated with, or given countenance to, the dis turbers of the public peac) at Amoy, and Canton. Two SEAMEN' AT PEKIN. —An involuntary vi-it has been recently.made to Pekin by two seamen of the Amei j ean whaler Two Brothers. Dissatisfied with their condi tion on board they took one of the ship's boats and landed on the coast of Corea, where they remained a month, kindly treated by the people. They were sent On horse back to the Great Wail, where they were delivered o ver to the Chinese authorities, by whom they were forwarded to Pekin. On arriving there they were visited by some of the Russian mission, who supplied their wants ; and, aft , r remaining three weeks at too capital, they were sent forward to Shanghai, where they arrived on the 21st of December. They seem to have observed nothing at Pekin, and what they have to till of their adventures has relation entirely t) their personal treatment and comfort. They state that in Corea and Manchuria (there must surely be some mistake about the latter country) they were well fed and attended to ; besides which their only observation was that they saw no women ; and in China, on the route from Pekin, they complain of having been ill fed, lodged in prisons, and cheated out of their allowances. They should read Father Hue's travels', if they can.—ChinaMail. MELBOURNE GOLD CIRCULAR, Nov. 24, 1855. Exchange having again been lowered one'per cent., it being now at par, a reduction in the price of gold fol lowed, and 755. became the price for the week. A large amount of business was done during this week for tte James Baines, which shin would hare taken a much larger quantity but for the Sydney Mint competing with the home market. A good deal of this colonial business is of a speculative kind, based on the contingency of our Legislative Council enacting a law to make the Sydney Mintage current in Victoria. This being a question of importance to the colony, affecting ber greatest product, will give ample scope to the financial acumen of our newly-fledged legislators under the new constitution. The quantity of gold sent down by escort continues to keep well up, showing that our gold-fields are assuming a gradually increasing aspect. Among the gold arriving by escort are several parcels of amalgamated, the result of quartz.crushing machines, which we are glad to say are improving in their productiveness.
