Notwithstanding the extraordinary forbearance displayed towards Russia at the time of the con clusion of the "Precious Treaty," or as it has been more correctly termed, the miserable CLARaNDON capitulation," the Muscovite Govern ment are already striving to back out of the solemn obligations which they thereby deliberately con tracted. Like th e Carthaginians of old, they exhibit the moat profound contempt for every promise the performance whereof many prove in any degree inconvenient. " Muscovite faith " seems likely to pass into a proverb, a n d cc nu ._ p a ns buts fides" may be appropriately annexed to the arms of the House of ROMANO'' , cc an escutcheon of pretence, '' in the literal acceptation of the terms. At the Conferences of Paris they gladly availed themselves of the trumpery p o li cy which professed as a fundamental principle that the honour of Russia was to be preserved intact. They were then obliged to obtain peace at any price or on any conditions. They were so thoroughly ex . haust e d f rom the efforts they had already made, their inability to maintain the contest was so Painfully perceptible, that peace had become an imperative necess ity, and they were only too happy to close with the too lenient terms offered by their magnanimous opponents. But no sooner had the ratifications been ex changed than a complete alteration took place in their sentiments. K nowing that the Western Powers would abid e by their undertakings, in the spirit, as well as to the letter, they commenced a course that clearly indicated their determination to back out of or disregard their own obligations. although the allied troop s were w ithdrawn from the Crimea in the shortest Possible time—although the towns and ports of Sebag o Balaklava, Kainiesh, Eupatoria, Kertch, • Yenikale, Kin bourn, and other territories occupied Were speedily evacuated —Kars was not only retained, b u t treated in every respect as a conquered c it y , i ts fortifications dismantled, and its defences rend ere d Mlles • Kilia and Ismail also dilapidated, after a f.ruitless attempt to retain them in direct oppo si.tion to the terms of the Treaty. But the most glaring exhibition of bad faith was by the Russian Commissioners appointed for the rectification of the Bessarabian boundary. We need scarcely remind our readers that this Commission was appointed under the 20th article of the Treaty ; that its especial object was to mark out, by metes and bounds, the territory to be delivered " in exchange for the towns, ports, and territories enumerated in article 4, and in order the better to assure the freedom of the navigation of the Danube." We have performed our part of the contract honestly and conscientiously. Every place enumerated in Article 4 has long since been restored to Russia. The holy soil is not now polluted by the presence of a single enemy or professor of the unorthodox creed. But what has been the return ? How have we received the promised consideration ?—and what are the obstacles raised by Russia to the specific perform ance of its contract ? What was to be transferred to Moldavia is thus specified :—" It is declared that the new frontier shall begin from the Black Sea one kilometre to the east of Lake Bourna, shall run perpendicu larly to the Akerman Road, shall follow that road to the Tal de Trajan, pass to the south of Bol grad, ascend the course of the river Yalpuck to the Height of Saratsika, and terminate at Kata mori on the Prath. Above that point the old frontier between the two empires shall not undergo any modification." Now this is very simple to any person who takes a sound common-sense view of the subject. It is unquestionably a little vague ; and, dealing with Russian diplomatists, it would have been well to have been a Beetle more precise, so as to avoid the possibility of any quibble. But Russian honour (!) was recognised - by the Western Powers, for it was to be preserved in tact ; and, therefore, there might be some faint shadow of an excuse for the laxity exhibited by the Western Plenipotentiaries. There can be no possible doubt that one kilo metro to the east of Lake Bourna Sola means from the eastern point of the Lake. That eastern point may not be within a kilometre of the Black Sea, but that is easily settled. Taking a point a kilometre due east of the eastern point, dropping the perpendicular from thence on the Akerman road, and continuing it to the Black Sea, clearly complies with the condition, which cannot be fulfilled in any other manner. This will necessarily give the whole of the Lake besides other territory, to Moldavia, while the Russian Commissioners are striving to secure for their master nearly two-thirds of its area, which ' would pratitically render him master of the whole. I This demani is, however, too absurd to require any elaborate argument in opposition thereto. ' The solution above offered is so manifest that it must be at once adopted by any unprejudiced and uninterested person of ordinary capacity. ' Another difficulty has been raised about the town of Bolgrad, which the Russian Commissioners attempt to show includes a new town on the shores •f Lake Yalpuck, a considerable distance from the eld one, manifestly intended; but the fact that it was decided at the Conferences that Lake Yalpuck should belong exclusively to Moldavia is so totally inconsistent with this version that it must be abandoned. There is no real difficulty about the point. All that is required is an honest in tention to carry out the stipulation in its integrity. If Russia will act fairly and honestly, well ! If not, neither France nor lingland can, without the sacrifice of honour, permit themselves to be stulti fied or degraded by an acquiescence in her petti fogging and paltry arguments. She must submit to the terms of the Treaty or—abide the conse quences. GOMM:MA][OFr hit upon the very verb of the Russian policy in his insolent Circular dated "Moscow, 2d September." La Russie, said he, ne boucle pas, elle se receuille---Russia does not sulk, she gathers herself up anew, she reconcen trates all her internal resources, she once more eollecin all her latent capacities together, her capacities for good or for evil, the wealth and the industry, the patriotism and the religious ardour of her 63,000,000 of inhabitants. To what end ? Is it not sufficiently apparent Does not history proclaim the fact with adequate distinctness ? Is ttnot notoriously, glaringly, unavoidably—Reculer peter ntieux sauter F les—ostensibly with a view to the furtherance of a grand and pacific scheme of internal development—obviously, however, all the while for the ulterior prosecution of what Prince GORTSCILLICOFF naïvely terms in his Cir cular, ‘! I know not what universal domination !" A-VroC EtrEv—he has said it--e est ca—tho murder is out ! It is with this sinister significance of :neaning that the Minister of the Caxit can aver of tbs great despotic empire of his Master—La Russie ne boucle pas, elle se receuille—Russia does not pout, she meditates—meditates new outrages upon the rights of nations, new violations of ad jacent territory, new incursions beyond the fron tiers of neighbouring and less powerful dominions. The earliest of these fresh outrages being the issue to the world of this very Circular from the hand of Prince GORTSCKALOPT ! Than which could any document by possibility be characterised by more flagrant audacity, whether in tone or in argument Imagine the " virtuous indignation" of Russia at the joint intervention of France and England in the affairs of Greece and of Naples ! The " virtuous indignation" of Russia at what she calls this 'violation of the right and independ ence of Governments—the protest made in behalf of the violated rights and independence of Govern ments by Russia, Russia of all the nations of the earth, Russia whose predatory legions have been making such repeated incursions beyond the boundaries of the Caucasus and beyond those of the Moldo-Wallachian Principalities ! Conceive for one moment the consistency, the reasonableness, the decency of the re monstrances thus addressed to France and England by the diplomatic mouthpiece of the Russian AIITOORA.; immediately at the close of an European struggle, preceded (and, in fact, caused) by the advance of the armies of the CZAR across the Pruth, and followed (directly and per versely followed) by the renewal of his armed in terposition among the mountain tribes of Circassia! The Muscovite violation of the right and inde pendence of Governments, being notoriously dic tated by designs of territorial aggrandisement. The Anglo-French interventions adventured upon in regard to Greece or Naples, or elsewhere, being as notoriously for no such purpose whatever, but solely with a view to the advancement of the sacred principles of modern civilisation. It would be amusing were it not for its secret atrocity—the cool impertinence of reproach with which the Russian diplomatist protests in the face of Europe against the presence of an armed force of French and English soldiers upon the soil of Greece against the feelings of the nation, and the will of the SOVEREIGN ! Europe has not so soon forgotten, be sure of that, the reason why the two great Allies were compelled, in the very thick cf the warlike co mplication the ofp Piraeus, for in the the Crimea,purpose - to despatch troopq to of overawing the intrigues of an ungrateful and ' degraded Court, nominally presided over by a faineant KING, but actually inspired by the am bitionn whims of a QUEEN, German by marriage, I Greek in name, but Russian at heart, Russian in her sympathies, Russian in her conspiracies, Rus sian in her aspirations. England and France, therefore, sent a small but sufficient portion of their united troops to Athens, to crush out the flames of an insurrectionary movement in fa vour of the CZAR, originated by the emissaries of Queen AMELIA, and then threatening to em barrass the position of the Allies before Sebastopol by kindling in their rear a great political con flagration. In reference to Naples, moreover, have not those same Allies the obvious justification of desiring to ward off, if possible, those revolu tionary outbreaks in Italy which cannot fail to endanger the general tranquillity of the European Continent if BOMIA is permitted to goad into rebellion by his cruelties the long-suffering but hot-blooded population of the Roman Peninsula ? Besides, both Orno and FERDINAND are, from first to last,. Kings only upon sufferance. But for England the Bourbons might have whistled for the Neapolitan sceptre their own unaided hands were powerless to grasp ! But for England and France, Greece might never have been erected into an independent kingdom, and the bauble o f Athenian Sovereignty awarded in an evil hour to the whims of one of the junior Princes of Bavaria! The Governments of France and England have an inoontestible right to interfere, to a certain extent, in the internal affairs both of Greece and Naples, to the end that by so doing they may insure for Europe a more secure tranquillity, and for the unfortunate Greeks and Neapolitans the blessings of some more rational system of administration. *'et against designs of this unselfish and dignified character Russia protests, through the arrogant and insensate Circular of Prince GORTSCI/AKOFF, as against some lawless violation of the inalienable rights and independence of Governments—for getful of her own wanton invasion of the domi nions of the SULTAN ! Oblivious of her own recent seizure of the Danubian Principalities ! Blind to her own systematic and wholesale spoliation of the territories of her weaker neighbours, the territories indiscriminately of Sweden, and Persia, and Turkey, and Poland ! So much for the suicidal care taken by the Allies not to wound, in any way, as they termed it, during the deplorable Paris Conferences, the dignity (save the mark !) of the haughty and insolent autocracy of the (lux of all the Russias ! THE COURT CIRCULAR. BALMORAL, OCT. 10. Her Majesty the Queen and the Prince Consort re turned from Alt na Guissach yesterday evening.

St. Vincent King, with Lord and Lady Gran ville and the other members of the British mission to the coronation at Moscow on board, arrived at Kiel yesterday afternoon, just in time for the distinguished party to catch the last train to Altona, from whence they drove into this city and descended at the Hotel de l'Europe, about nine o'clock in the evening. Here the party broke up, for the Earl and Countess of Gran ville proceeded immediately by the night train to Ber lin, en route for Oarlsbad in Bohemia, whilst Sir Robert and Lady Peel set out this morning by way of Belgium and the Rhine to England, and sume of the members of the embassy stay a day or two here, and then go home through France. The St. Jean d'Acre, after coaling at Kiel, will return to England immediately. We regret to learn that the lion. Charles Griinston, brother of the Countess of Clarendon, died on Wednes• day last.

To Mrs. A'Beckett, widow of the late gifted magis trate, has been considerately granted by the Premier a pension of 1001. per annum. Lord Palmerston's libe rality has been further shown in the gift of 1001. towards the maintenance of Mr. Angus B. Reach. A letter from Berlin states that, on the Ist of nest month, Prince Frederick William, son of the Prince of Prussia, will assume the command of the 11th infantry, in garrison at Brsalau. At about the middle of Decem ber he will leave for Coblentz, and afterwards for Eng land.

It is understood among the friends of the late Miss Mitford, that selections from her Correspondence are in preparation by the Rev. W. Harness, her executor and friend for many para. LATEST NEWS MARSEILLES, OCT. 11. The Clyde has come in, with intelligence from Constantinople to the 2d inst. A Russian detachment still continued to occupy a point of the Isle of Serpents. As to the railway of the Euphrates, the Turkish Government has not yet authorised the construe- Lon, but only the survey. The Press& d'Orient affirms that the Conferences on the subject of the Danubian Principalities have been postponed for two months ; but the same journal repeats that a French squadron is about to re-enter the Black Sea. PARIS, MONDAY. The Bey of Tunis, having neglected to saints the Fete Napoleon with cannon, has been com pelled to make an apology. The Rente at the Boulevard was done at 66.75. The India mail arrived at Marseilles yesterday at six, and left for London at ten last evening. ST. PETERSBURG, Octr. 10. The Czar arrived at 2Arskoeselo on the 6 th. His Majesty will arrive at the railway station of the Winter Palace on the Bth, and will make his solemn entry into St. Petersburg on the 14th. The grand ball to be given by the nobility and commercial classes will take place on the 15th. The report of the Austrian Gazette that the King of Naples had written autograph letters to Queen Victoria and the Emperor Napoleon, offer ing to submit the Neapolitan question to the Paris Congress, is untrue. A letter from Ajaccio, of the 6th, in the Journal de la Corse, says : " There are now lying in this port two English line-of-battle ships, the Duke of Wellington and the Conqueror, and two corvettes. The liners are the object of general admiration, and those who have visited them speak in the highest terms of the politeness they met with on board. The ad miral (Dundas) and the officers have met with the heartiest welcome on landing from the authorities and the inhabitants. The Prefect has visited the admiral on board, and Was received by a salute, and this evening the admiral and the officers of the •quadron are to be present at a dinner and ball given at the Prefecture." The Paris correspondent of the Morning Pose (second edition), in his letter dated yesterday, says : " A Queen's messenger has passed through Paris for Naples with despatches. It is quite possible that he takes orders for the recall of her Majesty's mission, but I am not able to say that such is positively the case. The latest news from Naples informs us, by telegraph, that preparations for defence against attack continues to be made with the greatest activity. " According to advices which reach Paris this day from Constantinople, dated October 2, a de tachment of Ruskan troops still occupy the Ser pents' Island ; and it is further declared that some French ships of war will enter the Black Sea. If so we may conclude that an approach is being made by France' towards the policy of Eng land with regard to the Serpents' Island question; an event of no ordinary interest, for it must be clear to the most superficial observer that Russia seeks to evade the treaty just in propor tion as she calculates on any divergence of views between England and France. There seems little prospect of our quitting the Black Sea for any length of time, for Russia has ordered 20 steamers for,the " commerce" of those waters, whilst all the world knows three are quite sufficient. As the object of the Czar is to evade the treaty, England will be compelled to keep up a police force to watch her movements both in the Caspian and Black Seas." FRANCE. PARIS, SUNDAY. According to the most recent news from Naples, derived from the ♦ery best source, the King is firmly resolved not to make the slightest conces sion. There is little doubt that the naval demon stration in the Bay of Naples will, after all, be made, and that France will join in it. The Debats of yesterday publishes an article signed by M. de Sacy on the meeting of the Paris Congress. It states that the question of the Ser pents' Island has been already settled—that the island is to be restored to Turkey ; that, as re gards the islands of the Lower Danube, they also will be coded to the Porte. As regards the union of the two Principalities, the Dibats says that, as the commission charged to consider the whole question of the Principalities has not yet entered upon its functions, that question must be deferred; and, as France, Austria, England, and Turkey each claim the presidency in the com mission—a post which is one of " influence"—the Debats is of opinion that this, as well as some other preliminary matters, must first be settled by the next Congress before the actual question of the Danubian Principalities is touched upon. It is reported that at a recent ministerial council a proposition for putting a duty of 11 per cent. upon the exportation of the precious metals was discussed, but with what result is not stated.

Our Cabinet ha s a tt en tively studied the exports andimparts of Switzerland, and it, has ascertained that an int errup ti on o f comm erce between Switzer land and G ermany wo uld be very prejudicial to the !ormer, whil s t th e l a tt er would receive but little injury ; it accordingly will submit to the Ger manic Diet a p ropos iti on f o r excluding Swiss pro ductions from the German markets. Notwith standing the numerous partial re-elections that are taking place for the P r ussian Chamber of Deputies, the political character of the Chamber will not be changed. The Extreme Conservative party is employing all th e means i n its power to cause the election of its candidates. As all the Prussian in fantry is to be armed with Minie muskets, great activity prevails in our arsenals, and orders have been given to manufactnre 9,000,000 Minie ball cartridges." Another letter from Berlin, in the Ost. Deutsche Post of Vienna, says :—‘, Amongst the numerous couriers who have passed through th is cit y within the last few d a y s on their way from St . Petersbur g to Paris, is M. G erva i s , C o uncillor of State , who , I can state on sure i n f orma tion, carries to Paris the definitive res o l u ti on o f R uss ia as to the assembling of a secon d congress in that city, to settle the ques tions of the East, Naples, Greece, and Neufchatel." AUSTRIA. VIENNA Oct. 9. —A few days since it was stated that a note, whic h was a kind of " pendant' to the circular of September 2, was forwarded by Prince Cr ortschakoff to this Government, and the intelligence is thus confirmed by a well-informed north German paper : "Though little is now said of what is doing in the Neapolitan question, I can assure you that some of the great Powers have got up a kind of diplomatic agitation against the project of the Western Powers, and the end of the matter will probably be, that there will be no expedition to the Bay of Naples. I also learn from a perfectly authentic source that Russia has done more than protest in ber circular of the 2d of S-ptem. her against the policy of France and England towards Naples and Greece. A few days since Baron Mohren beim was the bearer of an urgent note from Russia to the Austrian Cabinet, in which it was most distinctly said that it was absolutely necessary to counteract the praeeed• ings of the Western Powers against the King of Naples. It is not difficult to foretell how this will be effected. A Russian squadron Is not likely to attempt to keep the vessels of the Western Powers out of the Bay of Naples, but the proposal of Russia immediately to bring the Neapolitan question before a diplomatic Congress is sure to be warmly seconded by Austria. In a few days it must be known to the public whether the Western Powers approve the plan." Baron von Hugel, the Austrian Minister in Tus cany, is now here, and his presence in Vienua is considered a sure indication that some question of importance is being discussed between the two Courts. NAPLES. The Opinione of Turin, of the 9th, in a leading article on the Neapolitan question, says :—" There is a very easy way of solving the non-intervention difficulty. The principle of non-intervention has been proclaimed at the Congress at Paris. Let this principle be observed, and let the States of Italy govern themselves in their own way ; let Austria withdraw her troops from the Romagna, and engage not to go beyond the frontiers assigned to her by treaties, whatever may take place in the peninsula ; and let England send a squadron and France her troops, in case Austria oversteps her boundaries. Would Austria accept such a proposi tion ? We may fairly answer, No. And if she does not accept, how can she blame the interven tiou of the two great Western Powers in the affairs of Naples ? A letter from Vienna of the 6th, in the Cologne Gazette, says :—" There is no longer any doubt but that th 3 Neapolitan affair will terminate in a com promise which will render useless the contemplated demonstration of the Western Powers. France has in fact declared in a note, lately delivered to the Austrian Government, that she is ready to submit the decision of the Neapolitan question to a new Congress at Paris. A new note is expected on the part of the Neapolitan Government. It was to have appeared a week since, and it is hoped that the delay has been caused by the Nea politan Government having modified the original wording of it so as to render it more in con formity with the existing state of things." An other letter from Vienna says :—" The garrison of Milan is to be considerably increased during the stay of the Emperor in that city ; but this measure is only adopted in consequence of the present gar rison being insufficient to perform the service re quired by the presence of his Majesty." THE POLITICAL TRIALS. NAPLES, Oct. 6.—On Thursday morning, the Courb assembled, and after some unimportant busi ness in conclusion of the defence the judges retired to their council-chamber about 11 o'clock. The Procureur-General and the advocates withdrew, and the Court was closed until the decision of the Judges should be made known. In close consulta tion they remained until half-past 4 o'clock in the afternoon, when the doors were again thrown open, and the court presented the same aspect as it did in the morning. A general anxiety pervaded the assembly to know the result of judicial consul tation, and according to the usual forms an usher rose and read the written sentence of the judges, as follows :—" A parita non constare della cospirazione." "By an equality of votes tbe con spiracy is not proved." There is an expression of surprise on every face, as though the usher could not have been understood. Each one looked at the other as if he would have asked whether he had been mistaken. The Attorney General was pale, and evidently mortified ; the prisoners and judges were alone unmoved. " Constare del projetto di cospi razione," proceeds the usher—that is, a projected conspiracy has been proved ; and sentence according . to the law was pronounced of perpetual exile from the liingdom on Mignona; and on the three others, who also had been adjudged worthy of death by the Attorney-General—Ventre, Mauro, and De Angelis —l2 years in irons. The reason of the difference in the punishment was, that these latter were already political prisoners condemned to 25 years, to which 12 more were added—it was virtually a sentence of " irons for life." The priest Cicco, for having known and not revealed the conspiracy, was condemned to two years' imprisonment. The Padre Ruggiero, the Augustine monk, to one year'simprisonment ; and as regards the remain ing five—Avitabile, Mortati, Palmieri, Do Rosa, a priest, and Donna Antoinetta Pace, the ver dict of the judges was " Non consta," that is to say, the charge of even projected conspiracy was not proved against them—the evidence was insufficient ; not that they were cleared and thoroughly acquitted, which would have been declared by a verdict of " Consta non." The liberty which these five, therefore, will enjoy will be provisional, under the sur veillance of the police. As soon as the reading of the sentence had concluded the great crowd who were present, and who had recovered from their surprise, were overcome with joy, and expressed their feelings by clapping of hands, and shouting " Viva it Presidents 1" " Viva la Giustizia della Gran Corte Criminate !" This was gall and worm wood to the public accuser, who but a few days before had demanded punishment of death for four, and, irritated by the unusual joy, he ordered that those who applauded should be marked, and two individuals were arrested. So terminated the trial of Mignona and his associates. They were airested together with many other's, on the 27th o f J u l y , 1855, they were put upon their trial on the 9th of June, 1856, and the trial w a s b roug h t to a conclu sion on October 2, 1856. THE SOUND DUES.—HAMBURG, Oct. 11.—A de spatch from Copenhagen, just placarded at the Bourse, confirms the news of this morning, that all the difficulties concerning the Sound tolls are definitively arranged, in consequence of the accord between Denmark and England. The King of Greece, the Grand Duke and Duchess of Hesse, the Prince Leopold of Bavaria, and the Prince Royal Louis, arrived in Augsburg on the 7th, and all paid their respects to the Empress Dowager Russia, who left the same day for Ulm. The Ression of the Chamber of Deputies of the Grand Duchy of Luxemburg was opened on the 7th inst. by the Lieutenant of the King-Grand-Duke, Prince Henry of the Netherlands. The Prince, in his address, described the state of the country as satisfactory, and then alluded to the measures which would be submitted to the Chamber for adoption by the King. They include a partial revision of the constitution granted in 1848, which, in the words of the Prince, "is no longer in harmony with the imperious and inevitable exactions of the statutes of the Germanic Confederation," and the approval of the concordat which is about to ho concluded. A correspondence from Berlin contradicts the re port of Prussia's intention to separate from the Zollverein. A Madrid journal states that O'Donnell has re turned the visit which Narvaez paid him on his recent arrival in the capital. Letters from Bucharest of the 23d affirm that in spite of a thousand intrigues, French influence is augmenting in the Principalities. The Milan Gazette states that the Emperor and Empress of Austria will not arrive in that city until the early part of January. The rumours of the speedy assembling of th e Congress in Paris, although repeated with confi dence by almost all the Continental papers, are believed in Paris t o be mere Vienn a inventions. We read in the Epoca :—" It is reported in the political circles of Madrid t hat the Duke of Vict or y is preparing a manif esto rel ative to the last events, which he intends to publiSh the moment the state of siege is raised. The Darmstadt Gazette announces the return from Moscow of the Princes Louis a n d Al exan d er of Hesse Darmstadt. Prince Frederick William of Hesse-Cassel has likewise returned from Russia.

IVIAIL, We have received, by extraordinary express, in anticipation of the Overland Mail, our despatches from Calcutta of Sept. 8, and from Bombay, of Sept. 12. We subjoin extracts (Pl'om, the _Bombay Times of Sept. 121 Summary.—Two days after the despatch of last mail, and just as the bag reached from home, in contradiction to the Government order here stop ping all public 1 - vor-;, that tWo millions sterling were to be spent on the improvement of the country —a notification was published in the Gazette that a four and a half per cent. loan was to be opened, of indefinite amount, and guaranteed for a period of ten years at least. In 1854, when the old five per cent. was closed, and the Treasury of India repreßented to be full to overflow ing, Government, had it known,its own wants, could have obtained any amount of money at three and a half, or, at the very outside, four per cent. With that blindness in financier ship for which India is proverbial, they began to pay off their debts when they could not anything like make the two ends meet ; and the year was barely out when a new five per cent. loan required to be opened, on the pretence that public works had been pushed on more rapidly than the state could afford. No war of moment or other unforeseeable calamity had occurred mean while, but just as we were pinched to the uttermost for means waste seemed the order of the day, wherever money could be thrown away on matters sufficiently worthless. Private enterprise, which had meanwhile offered to step in for the purpose of improving the country, was checked on the pretence that the terms conceded by the Bom bay Government were too liberal. We from time to time warned our readers, that in the midst of our boasted prosperity we were on the verge of a fresh loan ; and Sunday the 31st of August verified our vaticinations. The five per cents., which ought to have gone up to ten premium, to be at par with the four-and-a-half, have scarcely at all advanced, and none of the new stock, igo far as we can learn, has yet been taken up. If in India Government cannot raise money at pre sent under 5 per cent., any amount that might be required could be raised at home at 3 ; and the London authorities, were the common principle of financiership recognised in Cannon-row and Leaden hall-street, could raise in the Suck Exchange the three millions required to be sent home annually, instead of drawing on India at the most capricious rates of exchange, compelling us to borrow at ex travagant terms of interest, to the utter con fusion of the money market. The loan had scarcely been gazetted when we were stunned by a call for transports to accompany an expedition to the Persian Gulf, to chastise the Shah for captur ing Herat in violation of the treaty of 1853, an arrangement partially foreshadowed in our last commercial report. It must be remembered that the treaty an d th e war are b o th pu r ely English— the Government of the East India Company hold no political relations with Persia, and feel no concern in its affairs. The intimation that mischief was brewing was put into the mouth of the Chairman of the Board of Control, apparently that it might escape criticism at home. Had the Secretary for Foreign Affairs, in place of Mr. V. Smith, intimated that troops would be on their way to Persia —an adventure about as wild as that of the Affghan war before the last of our ships had quitted the shores of the Crimea, there would have been no great danger of the House of Commons being counted out on the occasion. We trust Sir Henry Willock will renew or republish his admirable pro test of 1839, against India being saddled with charges that in no way concern her. There can be no greater insanity th an t h at of entangling our selves n any way whatever with the affairs of Cen tral Asia. The Affgh ans and Persians are equally perfidious, equally u ngra t eful and rapacious, equallyincapable of pursuing any cons i s t en t line of policy o . r looking into the future. To us it is perfectly immaterial who occupies Herat. The one power is just as in ca p a bl e as the other of main taining it against European troops—both equally ready to . surrender it, and with it to ma k e over their services to any party for a bribe. When iamran Shah had b een ena bl ed to ma i nta i n i t through British influence alone for ten months against Persia, he threw us overboard and dis missed our ambassador with insult the moment we ceased to pour money into his purse ; and Gho rian, one great cause of our interference in his favour, almost as soon as secured to him, was banded over to his old enemy, as if in scorn of the English friends on whom he h a d b een prey i ng. If we will make treaties we must see them enforced, by this means in such cases as the present, involv ' ing ourselves needlessly, beyond the mountains which form an impenetrable f•rtress for our demi ' nions, in wars always equally inglorious, expensive, and fruitless. Those whom the catastrophe of Cabul • could not teach wisdom, must be incapable of benefitting by experience. Eleven transports of an aggregate burden of ten thousand tons, en gaged at the rate of one pound per ton a month, are meanwhile being prepared to receive ten or fifteen thousand men and a thousand horses on board. As if to begin with bungling, a circular requiring freight was sent round at the outset to four houses out of 25 that had ships to be disposed of, and the result was that 11. was paid for freight when the market price was 16s. at the highest, thus imposing a loss on Government of 2,0001. a month. At present we are paying 10,0001. monthly for ships which we sincerely trust will never be employed ; and the preparations now being made will, within the next six weeks, pro bably cost half a million sterling if not a man should ever quit our shores for the Gulf. in these topics are comprised all the tidings of material importance the past fortnight has supplied.—Our rainy season has very nearly closed, and though rain has been plentiful all over Central and Upper India, in Bombay we are still somewhat short of our customary supplies. We have just t received accounts of an inundation at Cabal, in which —rr great h damage i Board,bee been dietl e orate capacity, its corporate to lands p and property. has been abolished at the Presidency, and the tary has much more desirable expedient resorted to of placing each of its constituent members at the head of an independent department.—Th e municipality of Bombay, are about, it is und er _ stood, to protest against their being made liable the charges incurred by Mr. Conybear e , un d er san ction of the Court of Directors, in exce ss o f t h e q uarter of a million sterling , originally agreed upon, to obtain water from th Vehar Valley. The home bungling will very probably bring the ulti mate charge to close on half a million. The import market is improving; - - 11aFe advanced ; and the money market i s unsteady. CALCUTTA. The Government on the 30th August opened a new loan. The rate offered is 4i- per cent., and the loan is not to be paid off till 18N. The terms offered, however, are not sufficient to tempt dealers. The old Pours are at 12 per cont. discount, and no one therefore will subscribe to the new loan. Up to yesterday less than a thousand pounds had been paid in. Exchange on London may be quoted 2s. 11d. for first-class paper, and 2s. lid. for document bills. COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. THE STATE OF THE BOMBAY- MARKET, FROM AUG. 29 to SEPT. 11. Our money market for, the past fortnight has been rather unsettled, in consequence of the government hav ing issued a notification to th e effect that they were pre pared to receive tenders for a 4 per cent. loan, and we are given to understand that tenders for a considerable amount were sent into government at 90, but the ten derers were inf orme d that no tenders could be entertain ed under par. Local stocks remain much about former quotations. Since the date of our last report considerable activity has sprung up in the Import Market, and from all parts of the presid ency the most favourable reports continue to be received of the state of the weather and the than crops, a condition o f matters which cannot do otherwise promise well f or the future prospect of the busy season. Just as th e ma i l was closing on the 29th ult., a very active d eman d sprung up for all descriptions of cotton piece good s , w hi ch we are glad to say has steadily con- tinued, p r i ces having risen on near ly all the stapl e goods.

We hare not received any Australian papers by the present mail, but the following items of intelli gence have arrived via Ceylon " The Fortitude, which left Melbourne on the 17th of July, has brought no mails, but to Capt. Harrison we are indebted for the Leader of July 12. Wet ungenial weather had produced temporary dull ness in trade and lessened the production of gold. Vessels with imported goods continued to in crease stocks which could not be conveyed to the diggings from the roads being broken up. Speedy improvement was hoped for, however, and had in deed partially taken place. The price of gold re mained steady at 765. per ounce ; standard way selling at 735. 9d. Quartz-crushing operations were being rapidly developed and perfected.; an office for assaying the amalgamated gold has been established, and it was thought that before long gold would be exported only in the form of ingots. One is reported as having been discovered near Maryborough, weighing upwards of 260 ounces and being one solid mass of gold. In that case it will be worth at least 1,0001. The Mindora, Royal Mail ship, had arrived on the 11th of July, but her news had been forestalled by the Lancashire Witch, with troops, and the Mary Anne, which had arrived at Tasmania. The Ellen Bates had arrived at Melbourne on the sth of July. The Champion of the Seas had sailed for Liverpool on the 10th of July ; the True Briton was to sail for London on the Ist of August ; and the James Baines, for Liverpool, on the sth. Six miles of the Melbourne and Geelong Rail way had been opened, and it was expected that the whole would be ready for traffic by New-Year's In the northern portion of South Austialia, B.

The Asia has arrived, with advices from NO, York to the Ist inst., and $950,695 in specie an d 2401. sterling ou freight. The mail steam-ships Canada and Baltic hence had arrived at New - York. The screw steam-ship Khersonese sailed froth Portland for Halifax and Liverpool on th e 28th ult. Among the passengers are Mr. Goddard, the detective, having under charge Louis Grelet, Eugene Auguste Parrot, and Carpenter, who vier' concerned in the robbery of the Northern Railwel of France. A considerable sum of money was found on their persons, besides coupons. The political news is unimportant. The canvass progresses with an appearance e t great confidence on all sides. There had been a great democratic meeting e t Richmond, at which the State Governor advocated , in violent language, violent measures against 0! Northern party, whom he designated " demon s and traitors." The Illinois had arrived, with the Californi a mails of the sth ult., and 1,867,148 dols. Matters were genial. Mining continued in e prosperous condition. A report was current at Panama of the concliv sion of a treaty of peace between Walker and the President of Costa Rica. Another statement is, that Schlessinger, at the head of a considerab le force, was menacing Walker. A riot had occurred in New Grenada, corisequee t upon the inauguration of General Calvoat Panam a ' in which a number of persons had been killed. Commissioners had been sent to France to De' gotiate a loan to pay off the liabilities arising frem the riot in April last. Fever was prevalent Aspinwale. Advices from Havanna state that recruiting fo r Walker's filibustering party was going on in t he city. 1 number of vessels were damaged by the gal e at Kingston, Jamaica, on the 11th.

She anchored off Belei late in the evening, and only got pratique as the, Euxine was l e a v ing. She had m e t w ith a f ea rful gale on the 26th September from the south-wcslo about 100 miles north-east of Cape Finisterre, iu which she lost her topmasts, caps, and crosstrces: She had also sprung the foremast head, carried away and lost principal sails, yards, ri gg i ng , and, live stock, but appeared not to hav e su ff ere d m uch in the hull. From Lisbon we learn that a decree has appeared appointing the elections for the 9th of N ovem ber, and making the new electoral division. The guelites are determined to go to the urn. A decree is published establishing a custom-house system for the territory of Ambriz. Application has been made to the Lisbon Go' vernment by Mr. Gattai to lay down an electric telegraph between Portugal and the Brazils, with exclusive privileges. Mr. Gattai was also to apply at Rio do Janeiro before his project could be car ried out. Intelligence has reached Gibraltar that the Ear peror of Morocco has, at the instance of Mr. Drummond onen her Majesty's Charge d'Affaires, ted t Hay, the owners and oth er person s consented pay to interested in the British bark Hymen, which vessel was captured in May last by the pirates on the coast of Riff, the sum of $16,000 as an indemnity for the plunder of that ship and her cargo. ,Hie Majesty also agreed to pay the $7,000 lately claimed by the French Government on account of a vessel of their nation which was taken by the Riff pirates in the spring of 1855. The weather is unsettled, and the price of corn has advanced. Exchange on London, 30 days, 52i 90 days, 531. From Gibraltar we learn that the Sultan of Mo rocco has consented to pay the owner of the British barque Hymen, which was captured by the Riff pirates in May last, 16,000 dollars. A large body of Moorish cavalry is to proceed to Fez to chastise the Riff pirates. Other effective measures are about to be taken by the Sultan of Morocco to prevent the recurrence of piracy in the Riff waters. DANK OF FRANCE.—The letters from Paris on Satur day allege that the Bank of ranee have lately contracted w ith M e ssrs. Rothschild to suppl them with gold to the amoun t of 5,40 0 , 00 0/. A sm a ll por ti on h as a l rea dy been tent, but, supposing the statement to be correct as amount, the ope ra ti on must exten d over a since it can b e carr i e d out on l y i n proper- Fug period, o g n ar a ds s bills or credits on the Loudon market are obtainable in Paris. For many weeks, therefore, all the Australian and American arrivals will probably be way, but meanwhile we may witness a aths b e s w o r r c a b c s e e d i r p e i t n ce o n t f h tl i g y s o Id coin from the case under similar circumstances ranee. In the present state of the money market on this side the transaction must involve an extraordinary loss, and within a month of its completion matters will be in precisely the same position as if they had been left to their natural course. Perhaps, however, its announcement may have the effect of inspiring confidence, since the report of six or seven millions of gold being expected from England will be calculated to dazzle the large majority, who will accept it without stopping to trace the conditions upon which alone the arrangement can be practicable,
