Though there was hard work, there was a great deal of joviality, and the soldier had many happy hours. He could speak well of a military life, and he had served more than 40 years. He concluded by inviting the men to join the regular army, and said he hoped he should sae them all in Duke-street, Westminster. Colonel Wilson also ad dressed 013 men, and assured them that it gave him great pleasure to be able to report to the inspecting olieer tha`, they hal been most diligent and attentive to their duties, and that with very few exceptions their conduct out of the field had been such as to mer:t public approbation. He remarked that the high military discipline of the British army was pro verbial, and he felt sure the Royal London Militia would never do anything to detract from its rep•itation. He hoped they would continue to perfect themselves in their military duties, and be attentive and obe dient to the commands of their officers ; and he would recommend strongly the cultivation of habits of cleanli ness, which would be of great advantage in the appear ance of the regiment, contribute much to their own com fort, and gain them the respect of all. - Their officers would be proud of them, and ready to accompany them anywhere, as her Majesty might be pleased to command their services. He reminded all—officers and privates— that on entering the service they bad bound themselves by an oath to do their duty to their Queen and country, and expressed his confidence, from the experience he had had of their conduct and efficiency, that they would not be found wanting. Dismissing the men for the day, he told them they would find bread and cheese ready for them under their tents, with a pint of porter for each man ; and the men, after giving three hearty cheers for the Queen, and three more for the colonel, went to their repast. The officers retired to the Artllery-house, and, with a large party of ladies and gentteniellitpartook of a dejeuner prepared by Messrs. Ring and Brymer. Some toasts were drunk, and a few words said upon them. Colonel Bush again expressed his great satisfac tion with the condition of the regiment. The Dean of St. Paul's observed, that they had done well to acknow ledge, in taking up arms, that they did not put their trust wholly in their skill or valour, and to appeal by a religious act to the help of One stronger than they. He remarked, also, that the chief supporters of the barons of England when they won Magna Charter were the citizens of London ; that 'when there was an insurrection it was a Lord Mayor of London who struck down the ringleader and restored law, order, and liberty ; that when the Spanish armada threatened the kingdom, the city of London provided double the number of vessels of war demanded of it by the Sovereign ; and that London now, he doubted not, would do its duty. The Royal Bucks Yeomanry Cavalry, under the com mand of Colonel the Duke of Buckingham and Chandos, was inspected in Stowe Park, on Wednesday, the 24th inst., by Major Custance, of the 6th Dragoon Guards. After the completion of the parade and field movements, the corps dismounted and fired a feu de joie in honour of her Majesty's birthday. During the whole of the day the movements were minutely inspected by the reviewing officer, who afterwards addressed the regiment, compli menting the men and officers on their appearance, and expressed, not only his entire satisfaction, but his delight at all he had seen. The noble colonel afterwards ad dressed the regiment, thanking every individual for the attention and zeal shown to carry out the discipline and maintain the character of the corps, and expressed a hope, should the country require their services, that every man would respond to the call and follow him as their colonel. This was quickly answered in the affirma tive, and followed by three cheers for the Queen from the whole regiment. A luncheon, given by the officers to all the men in the park, finished the day, and, a storm threatening, the men were dismissed to their quar ters. The strength of the regiment is 540 officers and men, nearly all being present, and not one man was absent without leave. Yesterday the whole of the metropolitan division of the enrolled pensioners of Chelsea Hospital, including the Woolwich and Greenwich divisions, were mustered in Hyde Park by Colonel Tulloch, to be reviewed by the General Commanding-in-Chief. The ground was kept by the Essex Rifle' Militia, Colonel Lord Jocelyn. About 11 o'clock Lord Hardinge arrived on the ground, and commenced the inspection of the veterans. The heavy rain that almost immediately commenced falling abridged the intended evolutions, and, after firing a few volleys in line, forming squares, &c., the divisions were marched off to their respective quarters.

It was announced that the results of operations for the last half-year will not permit the declaration of a dividend, but future prospects are stated to be more favourable. The vessels supplied to Government have been taken up on advantageous terms, and their employment will form a goitre© of re venue. The high rates of fuel, provisions, and wages have again interfered with the success of the voyages performed on the company's routes. The modified Aus tralian arrangement, it is believed, will prove profitable, while the general capacity of the fleet for any service it may be found desirable to enter upon gives the directors confidence in the attainment of ultimate prosperity. The report of the committee appointed to determine the course to be pursued with regard to the India route has not yet been completed, but, apart from considerations mixed up with that question, an opinion has been ex pressed that communication with North America presents an opening for traffic which deserves attention. The discussion principally related to the publication of the accounts, the policy of continuing the Indian service, and the efficiency of the management. The chairman (Mr. J. U. Ellis) gave, in answer, detailed explanations, urging that the difficulties presented had arisen from circumstances which the directors could not control, and, the majority agreeing with these views, an amend ment which had been brought forward was withdrawn. The following is an abstract of the report : " On the 6th of March the shareholders resolved, on the recommendation of the Board, to abandon the Indian con tract for the conveyance of her Majesty's mails, and the outward service closed with the despatch of the steamer Propontis on the 15th of that month. The abandonment oons f the contract has not interrupted the company's relmati with the Government. Tho causes which inducved the failure of this service are-, however, quite pat ent, increased and increasing costof fuel, provisions, and wages. As to the manner in which the service has been performed, the Board may direct the attention of the shareholders to the opinion-of the public in India, to the number of pas sengers conveyed, and to the general regret which has been manifested at its discontinuance. The necessary arrange ments consequent on the cessation of the line have been made, and measures adopted to close the company's business at the several ports as early as possible. For the future the Australian line must be of the first importance in the estimation of the shareholders. The departure of the Argo on her outward passage to Port Philip was announce in the last report. She arrived at that port in 64 days, e de- an returned via Cape Horn in 61 days also. This voy a g serves to be recorded as the first instance of the circum of na vigation of the world by a steam-ship. The passage the Argo, following that of the Harbinger and of the Helles pont, excited the highest satisfaction in the colonies. The successful issue of the several passages of the company's ships appeared to present a favourable ground on which to propose a contract for the conveyance of the mails to Australia. The Government had so distinctly set against the principle of subsidies that it was obviously useless to make any proposition involving a milea which ge rato. It was therefore necessary to devise some plan to this objection could not be offered ; and, for this reason a scheme was propounded on the principle of a remuneration in proportion to the work, but free from those obligations which are a part of the existing postal contracts, though not essential to the proper performance of a postal service. This proposal met with the approbation of the Postmaster- General, and was made the basis of the arrangement sub mitted to the shareholders on the 6th of March. This ser vice began on the 4th of April, with the departure of the Queen of the South for Port Philip and and dneyhed a . The Croesus took her departure in January', and touct Lisbon for her Majesty's mails detained there. Advices have been received of her haring put into Table Bay, whence she proceeded on the 10th of March on her voyage. The Bosphorus sailed under special a greement with for the mails of February, and will rem ain in the coies a coast service, and to maintain the communication between Adelaide and Port Philip. The alternate monthly service will require four ships, with the oc casional aid of a fifth ship. The Hellespont ' was sold at Sydney for the sum of 20,5001. Taking into account all the expenses of the passage, with her cost at stock, the result shows a profit of 9371. 7s. Bd. The continental services d o not, in the aggregate, afford so favourable a result as in former periods. The re ceipts have slightly dinainished,while the expenseshave from the general causes now operating increased. The accounts of the South African service show that during the past half year the expenses have been but just paid. The insurance fund amounted, on the 31st of December, to :29,9311., free of risk ; on the 30th of June it will aggregate about 49,0001., subject to any charges which may in the meanwhile happen. A. valuation of the company's property has been made by Captain Ford, and it ap the Superintendent of Shipping, pears to be well justified by the enhanced cost of labour, and of every material used in the construction of ships. The result is—increased value, 92,208/. ; amount of de preciation, 62,512/. ; leaving 9 difference of 29,6661. F o r the present this sum of 29,666/. is carried to the credit of the reserve fund, and to the debit of stock. In the current year it will be transferred to an account to be called Sus pense valuation account: This will then be a stock-ad justing account, and assist in carrying out the spirit of the valuation clause, and maintain by its action the stock at its proximate value. Inclusive of this sum of 29,6661., the reserve fund amounts to 51,052/. 2s. ld. The sub scribed capital stands at 915,4401., of which the sum of 752,9161. is paid up. The steamers added to the fleet since the last report are the Prince, of 2,706 tons and 300-horso power (intended to complete an alternate monthly line to Australia), the Harlingen of 552 tons and 70-horse power, already mentioned; and the Cape of Good Hope of 700 tons and 100-horse power. The last ship has made a successful trial voyage to Constantinople, having, in the course of it, taken a detachment of troops to Malta. The following steamers have been chartered by her Majesty's Government for a general service, the Go vernment findin fuel and bea rin g the war risk: — The Golden Fleece, 2,500 tons ; the Jason, 2,500 tons ; the Hydaspes, 1,850 tons ; and the Harbinger, 921 tons ; making a total of 7,771 tons. The first three are char tered for four and the last for three months ; all to be dis charged in England. The Golden Fleece was, in the first instance, hired to convey a regiment to Malta. This ship's performance of her service in the Mediterranean has hitherto secured the approbation of the Government. From an examination of the accounts it will be seen that the Board cannot recommend the payment of,any dividend or bonus for the half-year ending December ithet." , . 4 -v r•• • 14 - a 4 it . 71 , 4 k s j. 1 1111 Th „,/ „ , 4 4 354 s 444 , -14 " 0 - .4•0 • , . a•e) r tr• .-, 3 . • • s • - 1 ; I1 at ;-./ q z —Fcti "zi -.; .

At the gold fields only has there been anything like activity. The progress of the Victoria Con stitution Bill through its Legislature has been watched with some slight curiosity, but hardly any stronger feeling. The act, after a very protracted discussion, has passed. In some points the Vic toria scheme is hotter than that of the older co lony ; there is a furor distribution of the created seats over the electoral districts ; giving the fran chise to the miners of the gold fields, though pos sibly the number who will qualify by taking out a license for a year in advance will be few, as at least an acknowledgment that they deserve to have a political existence. Most of the minor provi sions of the bill have passed unchallenged by any portion of the community ; but the qualification fixed for the elective members of the Upper House has excited some discussion. To be eligible as a member of the Upper Chamber of Victoria, the act requires ,the possession of the property to the amount of 10,0001. This is objected to, less on general than special grounds. In the present state of the colony the possession of almost any amount of wealth has ceased to afford the imperfect se curity it does elsewhere, that its possessor has some amount of education and some degree of moral character. The sudden acquired wealth of the colony has fully qualified many a man for a place in . the Upper House, who would make a strange pillar of the State indeed. It has been calculated that most of the publicans of Mel bourne possess the legal qualification for entering the provincial Senate, while the amount is just enough to exclude very, many highly educated men engaged in mercantile business or following pro fessions. However, the act has passed, and any amendment in it must be made at home. In Vic toria, as in New South Wales, the people have shown the least possible interest in the whole ques tion. The Melbourne, Mount Alexander, and River Murray Railroad Company has not found much or very cordial support from the capitalists of Sydney. Several objections are made to the project; first, that the route proposed is not direct enough for the great trunk line between the two cities, and that it is really a line to the Victoria goldfields and the Murray, in planning which the communication with Sydney has been only a se condary purpose. The advantage offered in the guarantee of 5 per cent. by the Government of Victoria, is, it is alleged, lessened by the fact that its revenue is already unequal to the or dinary expenditure, and that the province is actually in debt 1,000,0001. sterling on a year. Besides these and minor objections of detail, the jealousy existing between the two provinces is in itself an obstacle to the execution of any scheme requirinc , a hearty common action ; and there is, also, throughout the colony a degree of incredulity as to the advantage and possibility of making railways the means of communication. Had it not been for a few energetic men who disregarded " colonial experience" on this subject, the few miles now being laid. down between Sydney and Para matta would hardly have been yet commenced. As to a line to Melbourne, it is not long since it was ridiculed in the Council by the leaders of the greatest colonial interest as an insane project. Most of them have since been converted ; but the spirit in which they spoke still exists in the mass of the people. Till some short lines begin to work, and the advantages of the system even on a small scale, are made evident, this feeling will not be materially weakened. There are active and intelligent men enough for directors and committees, but they can do nothing without shareholders, who are at present more likely to bo found out of the colony than in it. Even in Victoria itself the support obtained by the proposed line is small, considering the amount of capital in the banks of Melbourne that cannot find investments. At the half-yearly. .meet ing of the company, held a few days since, only 15 shareholders attended, representing 600 shares, and as the act requires 20 subscribers, representing 2,000 shares, to form a quorum, no business could be transacted. The secretary, however read the report for the satisfaction of those present. It states that the shares actually subscribed for in the colony repre sent -a.capital of 100,0001. ; with this sum in hand, "and the certain prospect of ample means follow ing from English capital," the directors have de termined to commence and complete the works be tween Melbourne and Williamsto xn forthwith. This short line, with a pier and wharf on the bay at the last named place, will probably pay very well, as ships will be able to discharge their cargoes there instead of ascending the Ya rra to the crowded wharves at Melbourne. If part of the line can be put iu operation and be made to produce divi dends, colonial capital will flow more freely into the undertaking ; but there is a vast amount of indifference and prejudice to be overcome. Nor are these the only difficulties. The bulk of the wealth amassed in the colony does not remain in it ; it seems considered a good mine, but not a desirable home, and the wish to quit it as soon as possible is, perhaps, stronger among those who have made a rapid fortune by the late extraor dinary change in the whole state of the country, than in those who had settled years before the discovery of gold and have gained an indepen dence more slowly. A member of the Council of Victoria lately stated in his place, that one half of that body were preparing • to return to England. From this province many large capi talists are gone or going ; some will, no doubt., retain an interest in the colony, but still its wealth does not yet give much visible impulse to great public improvements. In many respects, the state of the roads, for instance, the country is absolutely going back and deteriorating ; there is not public spirit enough to make a vigorous effort in any di rection. " Let what is broken so remain," is the motto. The wealthy leave constitutions and com mittees in the hands of Fate, and, for the general mass of the people, they are, in all matters of public concern, as apathetic as Orientals, without their sobriety. It is understood that the English Treasury has advanced 2,5001. towards the expenses of an ex ploring expedition from the north coast of Australia towards the interior. The intelligence has been received here with satisfaction, though no very san guine expectations are entertained of the result, for the simple reason that the sum is ridiculously in adequate to the work to be accomplished. Whether it is attempted to penetrate the interior from the north, south, or east, such a paltry amount must be wasted. But any land expedition to explore this continent should be fitted out on the same scale of liberality and efficiency as those to the Arctic seas. It should be an imperial service, in which those honours could beacquired which are so highly valued, and which no private society can give ; all the officers and men should be secured the same advantages of pay and pensions as they could claim from service in the field. Men of good character would readily volunteer for such an expedition. Two or three knighthoods and half a million ster ling would be a moderate price to pay for an exact knowledge of the nature of the interior of our southern empire, the borders of which contain such enormous mineral wealth. The committee of a scientific society in London, assisted by a paltry subscription from the Government, can do nothing effectual ; the sum now advanced will only start another party on the road to failure ; like those which have preceded it on the same parsimonious principle, it will be starved back to the coast, or, few in numbers, will be always impeded by the danger of being speared, like so many kangaroos, by some wild tribe of natives. The most success ful Australian explorer, Sir Thomas Mitchell, was more than once crippled in his movements by both these perils, and the party now fitting out are not likely to be better appointed. A bolder plan should now be tried on a larger scale, and continued over a longer space of time. Mr. Wentworth, the leader of the dominant party in the Council of New South Wales, leaves Sydney for England by the Chusan ; preparations were being made by his friends for giving him a public dinner at the theatre before his departure, but the purpose was abandoned from want of time. They intend, however, toaecon m ip r a . n N y v l e ii i i l n i tw n or a ti b i body to the place of embarkation . played the most prominent part i ncolonialp a o u l t ti o c i s . for many years ; he may be considered the the Council the Constitution B ill, as well as the leader of Council throughout the debates on it. l e ms it. ieof be t e h n e A bill to amend .l of th law e passed by the Comic ] . i Vict o o f ri e a N ..

By a evidence of natives cou ld not be taken, they' were nevertheless employed as policemen in the inland districts, where the settlers find them a very effi cient force. One of the members, Mr. Parker, stated some cases in which crimes had escaped unpunished by the rejection of native testimony. The Sydney Gold Escort Company is about to '~~~ [PRICE SD. suspend its operations, and after the close of th present month will be dissolved altogether. It has long been a losing concern, .the expenses having far exceeded the calculations, and the quantity of gold intrusted to it fallen short of what was expected. It appears that some of the gold companies were not meant to be working concerns. The exposure that took place at the last general meeting of the Turon Golden Ridge Company proved that the true vein whence gold was to be extracted ran through the pockets of the public. The company is not for mally dissolved, but has suspended operations, and whether it will resume them or not depends on the success or failure of another association, called " the Great Nugget Vein Company." A similar practice is common at the goldfields, where it is called "shepherding." The result of the exertions of one or two parties is watched, and the adjacent chinas are worked or let alone, accordin ,, to it. But if the Turon Golden Ridge Company is dissolved, as it probably will be, the mass of the subscribers are already made acquainted with the fact.that they have been very neatly. fleeced of 9,0001. Th e projectors of the company sold 20,000 shares, '" de posits ss. per share." Of this number 6,000 wore retained by themselves, at the cost of 1,5001. They then increased the number of shares to 30,000, allotting to themselves 10,000-of the new batch as a bonus. The rest were left for the public, who, with a happy confidence in the pro spectus, subscribed for 13,000 . shares, paying on them, morever, 17. per share, for the full amount was soon called in, though • it was promised that calls were not to exceed ss: each. The shares having been got up in the market, the reahnine was, worked, and many of the "originals" sold out at a good profit. As to. the miningoperations,they have not exhausted much of the capital, and the Turon gold quartz ridge—wherever it may be—is still open to British enterprise. If the company is dissolved, according to the planproposed, there will be 14,5001. to be divided among the shareholders. The original projectors having secured 16,000 shares, at ls. 9d. each, will make by the division 6s. each—about 300 per cent. On an adventure of 1,500/. they' clear some 5,0001. ; the " outsiders," who had put 13,0001. into the concern, lose 9,0001. of it. ' The Sydney Herald states that .most of the gold com panies started in London in 1852 were mere swin dles, and that the public had been robbed by thew of more than 1,000,0001. sterling. It adds " So far as we can observe, none of these schemes were of colonial origin. They are the offspri n g of that p ro. lific source of frauds and consequent misery—the pnr. lieus of the Stock-Exchange. No old colonists appear to have been mixed up in them. From the first the colonial press pointed out the fallacies on which these companies were based ;- and, more than a year ago, we exposed that most gigantic of all the frauds, the forgery of Mr. Langley's name and the sale of the Lake Bathurst land, by which Mathews and his associates realised up wards of 40,0001." • The general intelligence from all the goldfields is satisfactory ; certainly much brighter than it was two months ago. There has been some shifting of the population from one locality to another, but these changes do not appear to affect injuriously the returns of the whole quantity of metal raised. For some weeks that has been steadily increasing, and Ballarat, Beudigo, and Mount Alexander maintain their old reputation. The discovery of large nug gets and deposits is frequently reported, so fre quently that it is difficult to keep a clear account of them. The escort from Ballarat of the Ist of March brought down 16,000 ounces ; that from Castle maine, of the sth; 16,966 ounces ; from the Ovens, on the same date, 7,870 ounces arrived. The whole amount of gold exported from Victoria, from the Ist of January to the 4th of March, was 421,363 ounces. It is stated that on the old fields " splen did fortunes are being made within a few weeks by some of the more lucky Parties." But it should be borne in mind that the population on these fields is very large ; that even the lucky are relatively few, and " some of the more lucky" brings down success to a very small fraction indeed. The cha racter of the goldfields of the two provinces remains unaltered. To be successful in Victoria, it is ne cessary to have sonic capital, to be able to employ labour and sustain the loss of failure after sinking two or more holes, the depth of which in some cases causes a considerable outlay. The fields of New South Wales are less developed, and, if capable of paying for the more expensive methods of working employed in the South, have not yet been fall; tested in that manner. The population on them is not as many hundreds as the fields of Vic toria can count thousands. In point of health, the balance is in favour of the former, for all accounts, public and private, from the South, speak of the prevalence of disease at the "diggings," aggravated by . the 'want of medical skill. The principal "rush" during the past month has b;:en. to Tarrengower, a new field opened at Bryaut's Ranges, about 23 miles from Bering°. Several of the gullies and flats of the latter field have been deserted for trarrengower. Some stores have been removed and others closed ; but the proprietors are not yet quite satisfied that the now field will be a permanent one. In Van Die men's Land parties have been out " prospecting," stimulated by the reward offered for the discovery of a field that will pay for working, but hitherto with out success. In South Australia, Western Australia (Swan River), and New Zealand also, gold fields are " wanted", and are, in a manner, advertised for, as if their existence were a matter of course. The anxiety is very natural ; Victoria is draining all the neighbouring provinces and settlements of their supply of labour, and it is thought that a paying field within their own frontiers would keep them at home. During the last week a fine nugget was brought down to Sydney from Ophir, weighing 281 b. It was dug up by a party of four, who ob tained 1001 b. of gold in 11 days. Masses of gold, weighing 624 oz. or (521 b.), and 110 oz. have also been found at Ballarat ; another, 571 b. in weight, from the same place, is now announced. Thesum mer campaign on the gold fields is closing brilliantly. A concert has been given at the theatre for the benefit of the mother of Dr. Leichardt, who led the last exploring party into the interior of Aus tralia. Though the general belief that they have all perished is probably too well founded, yet some faint hope is entertained that they may be still living in captivity among some of the unknown tribes of aborigines. One attempt was made by the Colonial Government to trace them, but it was not prosecuted with much energy. In this state of doubt, the following letter, published in the Sydney _Herald, is interesting ; it is from Mr. G. W. Earl, a gentleman well known in the colony, who recently arrived in the Golden Age. He states that— " About an hour and a-half before the Golden Age left King George's Sound, Mr. Hester, the Superinten dent of Police, came on board in search of some ticket of-leave men who had escaped, and informed me that a messenger had just arrived from Swan River, with infor mation that traces of Dr. Leichardt's party had been found about 200 miles to the eastward of the most remote inland station of the Swan River district, the remains consisting of broken watches, utensils, &c. Mr. Hester was so busy,. while on board, hunting up one of the runaways, who gave a great deal of trouble, that he was unable to furnish me with minute par ticulars, but he informed me that the colonists were perfectly satisfied that the remains must be those of Leichardt's party. Full particulars will, of course, be brought by the first vessel for this port that leaves S wan River. Mr. Hester is one of the most experienced bushmen in Western Australia, and as he was evidently convinced that the remains were those of Leichardt's l party, I have a strong i m p ression that the report will ,rove well founded."

W H ITSUNTIDE and its ACCOMPANithI MENTS. -Whit untide is al wa y s a holiday, and w pro per accompaniments is enj , yed by all classes. Juveniles always ex pect it to be accompanied with new dre-s, and' the same sen t SON'S exists with adults in every s t a tion of society. E. M OSES accustomed diligence, enterprise, and unequalled commercial posi tion, enable them to present the accompaniments ef Whitsuntide in the most approved manner ; their youth's and juven le attire for Whitsuntide is more distinguished for variety than that of former seasons. Its novel designs, and the new methA of cutting invented by E. Moms and Sox, ensure them the most excellent fit, and add most astonishingly to the appearance, comfort, and durability of the gannents. It is well known that no art'cle of dress can look well, feel comfortable, and wear well, unless it is properly cut and made. A most magnificent stock of summer materials has been selected by E. MOSES and Sox, that every taste might he most satisfactorily gratified : and though great advances have been made in prices, E. Moses and Sox Observe the same economical charges accompanied with the best quality in materials and workmanship. E. MOSES and SON'S vests and trousers exhibit a concentration of every novelty in fabrics which have been produced by the skill and industry of all countries, and are unparalleled for superiority and cheapness.

The demand for pia for shipment in return for the excessive importations from Europe had caused the price to advance . front . 755. 6d. since January to 788. 3d., which was the latest quotation. The ag gregate shipments of gold from the commencement of - the present year to the 25th of March had been 535,545 ounces. This is 122,914 ounces above the quantity brought in by escort, but is probably not in excess of the sum actually obtained, estimating the proportion brought by private hands as well as the amounts carried to Adelaide and Sydney over land.• Supposing the same rate of shipment •to be cow. tinued, its value in the year, at 4/. per ounce, would be about 9,000,000/. Among the vessels lately cleared were the Samuel Boddington, with 24,266 ounces ; t o h i e 3 Marquis, with 766 ounces ; the Stebonheath, with 1 ounces ; the Windermere (from Geelong), with 40 1 90 ounces ; the Dirminghom, with 16,533 - ounces i till THE WAR. NAVAL AND MILITARY INTELLIGENCE. Our advices from Malta, dated 25th of May, state that since the 22.1 inst. there had been no arrivals of English troops at that island. The addition to the French contingent up to the 24th at sunset reaches the number of 1,320, exclusive of officers. The French troops who left Malta on the 22 , 1 inst. for Athens were in number 6,570 men and 190 officars, under the com mand of General Forey. The vessels that conveyed them were 12 in number—viz., Christoph Colomb, Ulloa, Asroodee, Labrador, Laplace, Caffarelli, Coligny, L'Eclaire, Le Monette, Le Fulton, Le Metere, nod the Solon. Monsieur Bouree, the Minister Plenipotentiary to the Court of Athene, with an 'ultimatunt to his Ma jesty King Otho from the Emperor Napoleon 111., took his departure with the steam fleet, on board the Labrador. News from Constantinople reached Malta on the 24th inst. by the Rajah, Peninsular and Oriental Company's steam-ship. It announces the departure of a portion of the English troops for Varna as close at hand, orders for their embarkation being already issued, per Andes, Golden Fleece, Cyclops, and other vessels not mentioned. The troops under orders are the 7th, 19th, 23d, 33d, 77th, 88th, and the Rifles. The officers of the commis sariat department will proceed by the Hope transport. The Peninsular and Oriental Company's steamer Simla is still undergoing repair of her broken fan, and it is feared she cannot possibly be ready for sea before the middle of next week at the earliest. The dry dock is too small to receive her. She is consequently moored off the enchor wharf, her heavy cargo breughtforward, chains and anchors fraspesded - td . her bows, thus causing her stern to be raised high out of water. The repairs will be but temporary, and on her return to England she must be thoroughly overhauled. The Chatham pay yacht, .Second Master John Grundy, arrived at Sheerness at 8.30 a.m. yesterday from Chat ham, with the pay clerks, and the crew of the Cuckoo, 3, steam gun-vessel, Lieutenant-Commander Augustus G. E. Murray, were paid their advance. The Cuckoo leaves Sheerness for the Downs to-day, and, having taken letters, parcels, &c., on board there, proceeds direct for the Baltic. The Star, 8 gun-sloop, Commander Frederick P. Warren, left Sheerness at 10.30 yesterday in tow of the steam-vessel African for Chatham to be dismantled ; her crew and junior officers are to be turned over to other ships for active service. The Russian prize bark Primus left Sheerness yester day morning for the West India Docks. The Ganges, 84 guns, is being fitted as an advanced ship-of-the-line, in lieu of the Formidable, now fitting for guard-ship of ordinary at Sheernese. The Ganges will have everything ready for being commissioned, and her armament is being prepared for her. She is to carry on the lower deck 8 8-inch-65 cwt., 9 feet ; and 22 . 32- pounders-56, cwt., and 9 feet 6-inch guns ;on the main deck, 4 8-inch-65 cwt., 9 feet, and 28 32- pounders-42 'cwt. 8 feet guns ;on the quarterdeck, 6 32-pounders-42 cwt. 8 feet guns ; and on her fore castle, 16 32-pounder carronades, 17 cwt. each. Mr. Hall, from the Ordnance department, is at Sheer ness, taking the necessary a dmeasurements on board the Royal Albert screw steam-ship, for her armament, gun carriages, &c. She is not to carry 131 guns, as has been currently reported. The armament she is to carry is as follows :—On the gun-deck, 32 32-pounders-65 cwt., 9 feet ; on the middle-deck, 32 32-pounders-56 cwt., 9 feet 6 inches ; on the main deck, 32 32-pounders —42 cwt., 8 feet ; on the upper deck, 1 68-pounder -95 cwt., 19 inches, shot or shell, on a traversing pivot, and 24 32-pounders-42 cwt., 8 feet guns. She is also pierced for three waist guns on each side on her upper deck, which can at any time be put into her if necessary. A strong staff of riggers and labourers are engaged getting in her machinery for the misting shears. Mr. Nation, from Messrs. Penn and Son's factory, is super intending the setting up of her machinery, under the in spection of Mr. Rumble, chief engineer of the Royal Albert. The lighter which was sunk in the basin along side the Royal Albert was raised y esterda y b y No. 5 mooring lighter, carried out of the basin, and put on to the ebb dry alongside the basin wall. Mr. Thomas Frost, Senior Foreman of Shipwrights here, doing duty in the mast-house, has by au Admiralty order been presented with the good service gratuity of 501. The Long Boat sailing cutter, Second Master R. Harvey, returned to Sheerness from Dover yestei day, with volunteers for service in dockyard craft. at St.eer- ness, The Goodwill, Second Master Henry George, arrived at Sheerness yesterday from Portsmouth. The new screw corvette Harrier was placed in the steam basin at Portsmouth yesterday to receive her ma. chinery of 100-horse power. The Haw, 4, iron paddle-wheel - steam.Tesseli - Lieut. - Lindsay commanding, went from the steam basin to Stokes Bay yesterday to try her machinery. The Sprightly steam tender, Acting Master-Comman der Allen, left yesterday morning for the Westward. The Powerful, 84, Captain Mansell, has got her top mast rigging over the mastheads. The officers and crew of the Meander, 44, were trans ferred on Monday to the screw steam-ship Algiers, 91. They left the frigate with three hearty cheers, and seemed much pleased at going all together into another ship. The men have three days' leave of absence. The following appointments have been made : Master Charles Bawden (1819), from the Coast Guard, to the Meander, 44, commissioned at Devonport. Surgeon George J. Willis (1854), promoted from As sistant-Surgeon of the Alecto steam-sloop, on her return from the West Coast of Africa, to the Hornet, 17, screw steam-sloop, at Woolwich. Second Master Joseph G. Dathan (1847), recently serving in the Meander, 44, to the Cuckoo steam-vessel, vice Yeatman, dismissed the service. The head-quarters and staff of the Enniskillens were embarked at Plymouth dockyard on Monday, on board the transport Europa, Captain Gardener, and in the afternoon she was towed from Hamoaze into the Sound. The transport ship Lord Raglan was on Monday towed from the Sound into Hamoaze, and placed along side the dockyard. The Dragoons who go by her will be embarked on Wednesday. The transport Sutlej, No. 19, arrived in Plymouth Sound on Tuesday morning. The Himalaya left Queenstown on Sunday for Con stantinople, having the following troops on board :-18 horses and 20 men of the Royal Artillery ; 136 men of the 68th Regiment, accompanied by eight women and 22 children ; six men of the 31 Regiment ; 20 officers, 294 men, and 298 horses of the 7th Dragoon Guards, and two women. The horses were got on board with the greatest case, and the arrangements on board this leviathan steam-ship give the most unqualified satisfac tion to the military authorities at Queenstown, who superintended the embarkation. The interest excited by the visit of the Himalaya to Queenstown was very great. The town commissioners sent a deputation from their body to present an address to Captain Kellock, and to invite him and his officers to a public entertain ment, but this mark of respect was necessarily declined, owing to the sailing of the ship on Sunday. Yesterday the fourth detachment of the 4th (Royal Irish) Dragoon Guards, consisting of two officers, as sistant-surgeon, and 46 rank and file, with a corre sponding number of horses, were paraded in cull service order at 8 o'clock a.m., and having undergone the usual inspection, proceeded to Kingstown, where they em barked for the seat of war. The troop, who seemed in excellent spirits, were escorted for some distance by the band of the 3d Dragoon Guards and 16th Lancers. The last detachment of this fine regiment will leave Porto bello this morning. The General Commanding-in-Chief has approved of Captain Robert Blakeney, of the 48th Regiment, being appointed Assistant Military Secretary at Dublin, vice Captain G. E. Hillier, appointed Deputy Assistant Adjutant-General ; and of Captain Thomas George Gardiner of the 40th Regiment, being appointed Aide de-Camp to Lieutenant-General Sir Edward Blakeney, K.C.8., commanding the forces in Ireland, in the room of Captain Blakeney. Yesterday morning, 150 men of the 4th Regiment, under the command of Captain Campbell, arrived at Windsor by the South-Western Railway, having travelled from London to Weedon by the North-Western line. It was expected that the whole of the 46th, quartered at Weedon, would have joined th e o th er portion of the reg iment at Windsor, but it is understood that it was only at the urgent request of Colonel Garratt that the detachment of 150 was spared from the former barracks. The Royal Bucks (Kings Own) Militia had been named to relieve the 46th at Weedon, but the inspecting officer reported to the Horse G . is Guards that the men were not yet sufficiently advanced in their drill to p er f o rm garri son duty. It anticipated, however, that the militia regiment will be in an efficient state by the Bth of next month, when they will enter upon their military duties at Weedon, and the remainder of the 46th will proceed to 'Windsor. Orders were recently received at the Hon. East India Company's depot, Warley, Brentwood, Essex, for a number of men to bold themselves in readiness for foreign service. Accordingly a large draught has been selected, and they quit their barracks this morning (Wednesday) cm route for India. MILITIA. The Royal London Militia were inspected yesterday by Colonel Bush, at the Artillery-ground in the City road, and had their colours presented to them by Mrs. Wilson, wife of their colonel. The colours were conse crated by the Dean of St. Paul s, and Mrs. Wilson, in presenting them, said, she trusted that whenever they might be unfurled on active service, peace would quickly be restored, and that the prayers which had been offered up by the dean might be heard and answered by the So vereign Disposer of all Events. The ensigns received the colours kneeling. On their being raised before the regiment, Colenel Wilson gave the word " General salute —present arms," and the band played the National An them. The regiment was then put through a series of 1 evolutions, at the conclusion of which Colonel Bush formed the men into square, and complimented them Upon their good behaviour and steadiness in their manoeuvres, and expressed his surprise at what had been accomplished within their period of training. H e told them that their country required their services and ._ j ~ ~,~✓~ ~ Neleus, with 52,918 ounces ; and the Ferozepoire, with 20,212 ounces ; tdpil of 151;798 omen, - worth 607,2001. According to the Melbourne Argus, . f • the value of the imports into the colony of Victoria in 1853 was 15,842,6371., of which about 13,300,0001. was from Great Britain and British colonies, and about 1,70 0 , 000 /. from the United Stades. Al the population last year was estimated at 200,000, this would give a consumption of about 801. per head ; but the sources whence the calculations are derrved are not mentioned, and at the best - they can merely be approxi._ mations. A statement is also, given of the exports, and, as these are only estimated at 11,061,5431..(inc1uding • 8,644,5291. of gold at the colonial valuation of 775. 6d. per oz.), it follows either that the colony must have re- - ceived a large proportion of its imports on credit or that they have been reckoned at prices greatly too high. At present the population of Victoria is estimated at 250,000. The arrivals at Melbourne since January: had been 18,102, - of whom •about 12,602 had re mainel This number included nearly core thousand • Chinese, who bad in' most •cases proceeded. to the ines a few hours after Izinding. The reckless 'ex. nt of land speculation had partially subsided, but e deina:-J1 was still• ac ive, and the average prices rigen br suburb in allotments- are about 331. per acre six miles of the town, and 181. 12s. Within eight es. The erection of an exchange was about to be annenced forthwith, but the plan fors ship canal and ..Jeks had been rejected by the Legislative Council n conseclueuce of official names having 7been i iroperly male use of in the prospectus. Notwith standing the heavy losses in the import Markets i there had been no serious failures, although a large number of small dealers had become insolvent. The chief suf ferers from the fall in goods will doubtless be Englts firms who have shipped on their own account. The further advance of.l per cent, by the banks in their rate for bills on England, which is now 3 preiniuM,' had brought it very nearly to the point at which Sovereigns would be the most profitable means of remittance, and , any fresh rise would immediately lead to some amounts being transmitted. . • ALTERATIONS, OF THE FRENCH TARIPF. (From the London Gazette of last Night.) • BOARD OF TRADE, WHITEHALL, Mit 29. -- The Right H o nourable the' Lords of the Committee of Privy Council for Trade and Plantations have received, through the Secretary of Stiite - for FOreign Affairs, a copy of a French Imperial Decree, fixing the duties to be levied on the importation of every kind of grease (that of fish excepted), at the same rates as those chargeable upon raw tallow by the Imperial. Decree of the sth March, 1852. BOARD OF TRADE, WHITEHALL, MAT 29. The Right Honourable the Lords of the Committee of Privy Council for Trade and Plantations have received, through the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, a copy of, a despatch from her Majesty's Charge d'Affaires , at Paris, inclosing a French Imperial Decree, with - the ac companying Ministerial Report (translations of which are 'subjoined), abrogating certain restrictions imposed by the French Ordinance of the Bth February, 1826, on the im portation into France, in British vessels, of the produce of Asia, Africa, and America. I.—REPORT TO THE EMPEROR. Paris, May 10, 1854. SIRE,—The Treaty of Navigation concluded between France and England on the 26th January, 1826, has for its basis an entire reciprocity. In order to insure the exe cution of the Treaty, an Ordinance issued on the Bth Feb ruary of the same year, prohibited, in an absolute manner, the importation for consumption in France of merchandise the produce of Asia, Africa, and America, laden in Eng lish entrepots. The same ordinance prohibited the importation, under the British Flag, of European produce, except from ports of the United Kingdom, or of her possessions in Europe. These restrictive measures were only introduced into our Custom-house system in return for corresponding mea sures which in virtue of the Navigation Act of 1666 figured in the maritime code of England. These restrictions have been ever since their existence the subject of strong remonstrances on the part of com merce and industry. On several occasions the Government has departed from the rigour of the provisions of the Ordinance of 1826 ; for instance, an Ordinance of the Bth July, 1834, removed the prohibition to the importation from England of raw silks, foulards, India cashmeres, rum, and tafia. Quite recently, and pursuant on the enquiry as to the situation of the cotton-spinning industry, your Majesty, earnestly desirous of affording greater facilities to that in dustry, made a decree, on the 30th of December last, abolishing, in the case of that textile material, the restric tions prescribed in the ordinance of 1826. At the same time your Majesty ordered me to examine it it would not be desirable entirely to abrogate that prohibition. The examination to which I have devoted myself, in 'concert with the departments of Foreign Affairs and Finance, has convinced me, - sire, that no interest demands the further maintenance of prohibitions which have lost all character of utility. In consequence I have the honour to propose to your Majesty to approve the subjoined decree, the object of which is to replace our maritime and commercial relations with England on the footing of common right. Commerce and industry will applaud, Sire, a measure which bears witness once more to the interest which your Majesty takes in all which can Contribute to the prosperity of the country.

MAGNE. BOARD OF TRADE, WHITEHALL, MAY 29. The Right Hon. the Lords of the Committee of Privy Council for Trade and 'Plantation have received, through the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, a copy of a de spatch from her Majesty's Charge d'Affaires at Paris, in closing a French Imperial Decree, with the accompanying Ministerial report (translations of which are subjoined), modifying the duties hitherto levied upon raw wool im ported into France, in French bottoms, from the Cape of Good Hope, and from countries situated beyond that Cape and beyond Cape Horn. I.—REPORT TO THE EMPEROR. Paris, 12th May, 1854. SIRE,--The development of the commercial and mari time relations of France with the countries situated beyond ,Cape Horn and the Cape of Good Hope, especially with Australia, has always been the object of you Majesty's solicitude. With this view a Decree, issued on the sth March, 1852, reduced from 20 to 15 per cent. the duty levied upon raw wools impo r t ed under the French Sag from the countries situated in the zone above indicated : But this measure, as I have reported to your Majesty; has , has not produced all the effects that might have been ex pectel fram it. The difference between the general duty on wools and the special duty established on Australian wools had not sufficed to induce shipments, which are always very expensive, and the results of which are long in developing themselves. On the other hand the system of ad valorem duties was not well suited to transactions with Australia. Your Majesty had ordered me ,to devise a combination which, without prejudicing the interests of our agriculture, might be more adapted to operations which it is so import ant to encourage. It appears to mo that I should fulfil these conditions by proposing to yolf, Sire, to substitute for the tariff specifiedin. the Decree of the sth of March, 1852, a duty according to weight, calculated at the rate of 10 per cent. on the Vo.l tie of Australian wools in French ipoprle . ts. Thus classified, the Tariff will be of easy n percep tion, while the difficulties which arise between the Custom house and the trade on the subject of the correctness of the values declared at the period of importation of the suer chandise, would disappear. It appears to me, moreover, that the benefit of the mete sure should be extended to Cape Town, which is . the seat of a considerable trade in wool. Such, Sire, is the object of the decree which- I have the honour of submitting for the approb ati o n of your Majesty. I am, (Signed) P.
