The houses ought not to separate until we ascertain in a pre cise and definite manner whether or not it is meant that we should accept-a peace that shrill leave Russia the power to pursue the course she has taken systematically .for the last hundred years. If-the ministry is prepared to accept a peace having this character, and the nation acquiesces in its decision, we have nothing further to say. -If, on the contrary, it is not so prepared, then the sooner France and England proclaim the independence of Poland, and the restoration of Finland to Sweden, the less of our blood shall we shed; and the sooner will certain and per-. manent peace be established, bottomed on the only sure ground.

The essential object of this treatise is to point - out the fearful con <equences resulting from certain habits, Irregularities and excesses, which have produced more misery in Youth, degradation in Man hood, and premature decay at all stages of Life, than, perhaps, any other class of disease known to modern pathologists. Its perusal is particularly recommended to persons entertaining secret doubts of their physical condition, and who are conscious of having hazarded the health, happiness, and privileges to which every human being is entitled. It is absolutely necessary thatall men should know, that there are ,rinciples of personal management which cannot be violated without ncurrint grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret succeed the heyday of inconsiderate self-indulgence, how these penalties nay be mitigated, how the sting of their bitterness may be removed, ind how the evil and flee onsequences May be avoided, and above all, .hat there is scarcely any degree of physical infirmity or functional ierangement to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure. The A uthor has fora series of years been engaged in an extensive practice in the treatment of these delicate complaints, which are unfortunately teen too -generally d contide to the care of ignorant metrics, who inflict great injury on those who induced to faith in Juoir pretensions.

UNITED STATES' BANE.—An elaborate statement has lately been prepared showing the condition of all the banks in the United States, their capital and liabilities, both in the shape of circulation and discounts, and their stocits of specie. From this it appears that the total number of establishments is 1;059, of which 312 belong to the State of New York. There are also 149 branches. Their total circulation at the commencement of the pre sent year seems to have been equal to 41,000,0001., while their specie was a little above 10,000,000/. Their deposits amounted to 37,000,0001., making their total liabilities 78,000,0001. Although the bullion held agains t their circulation is only one-fourth, while the standard proportion in this country under the old system used to be regarded as one-third, it is probably fully equal to. the amount usually retained. An important considera tion with reference to this point is, that the Govern ment hold a total of nearly 6,000,0001. sterling, which, being locked up in their own vaults and unrepresented by paper of-any-kind, is as valueless for all the imme diate purposes of commerce as if it were at the bottom of the sea. It is also believed that there is more gold and silver in circulation among the people than at any previous period. ST. PAUL'S.—The removal of the hoarding at the end of Cannon-street has enabled the passers-by to see St. Paul's Cathedral as it was never before seen, and has shown what we have often spoken of—the unequalled beauty of its outline.

The gratifying spectacle is again exhibited to Europe, by these makers of Vienna Protocols, of so-called " accord" betwecu the Four Powers- in regard to the . Eastern quarrel. France and England, at war with Russia, are thus to tell the world that though they have thought the resort to war necessary, they are still on the best possible terms with Prussia and Austria who don't think it necessary at all. Austria and Prussia, at peace with everybody, are by. this means to make their friendly offices available between Russia and the powers at war with Russia, on terms and conditions which they hope to render agreeable to all parties. What is the first thing manifest in this Treaty of Ber lin, for which '0 is understood that the diplomatic people have been active, and the armies inactive for so long a time ? Does it suggest any nearer approximation to an honest alliance with England and France ? Is it, as we were led to believe, a Compact only for such mutual pro tection as might leave - liberty of action to each ? No such thing.-- -What is more prominent and manifestupon the face of it is, that we have no longer anything to hope from Austria to set off the pusillanimity of Pruskiia. It is an utter explosion of the hopes entertained in that direction. ' We are surprised that any other construction should bedrawn from it. Its express tener is that what Prussia does, Austria will do ; that, whatever their differences in opinion may be, there is at least to be no difference in act.; that one is think of making .yEar without the other.' Each country guarantees to the "other its German and non-German dominions. The Polish; Rhenish, and Italian provinces, are to be secure under this treaty. Any attack upon one is to be resented by the other party. Such is the agreement. Of course nobody dreams that Austria can go to war with Russia, or in any way provoke hostilities from the Czar, with out exposing some of her provinces to invasion ; and in that case Prussia stipulates to march to her help. But Prussia would make no such stipulation if it was not fully understood that Austria was not only not to rush into war without Prussian consent, but was not:even to risk it by independent policy or isolated acts to which Prussia had not consented. The inference inevitable from such a treaty is, that neither Austria nor Prussia has the least idea of going to war with Russia. They both indeed complain of, they both- condemn the occupation of the Danubian Principalities, and they both point with still greater dis like to any further advance of Russian troops beyond the Danube. But that Austria and Prussia would have committed themselves to even this declaration, if they had not . first been perfectly certain that Russia did not wish to advance beyond the Danube, no one will be lieve. Had Austria and Prussia signed such a treaty, and made known its contents, six or eight months ago, Turkey and the Western Powers might have been obliged to elem. But their affected adherence now is too obvi ously a trick to help Russia out of her scrape. It is an attempt to paralyse the efforts of France and England to bring the quarrel to so decisive a conclusion that it shall never be able to break forth again. In a word, however apparently directed against Russia, however pleasantly foisted into a- French and English protocol, this treaty is really pointed against France and England. It tells them plainly that the aim of the Ger man Powers is solely and exclusively to get the Russians out of the Principalities, and in nowise either to permit or take other guarantees against them. Let General Canrobert and Lord Raglan drive Paskiewitsch behind the Pruth, and thenceforward Austria and Prussia, no longer the negative antagonists of Russia, become its active allies. This, then, is what we have to guard against. The danger now is that the war-should terminate, after the fashion of the diplomacy that preceded it, in a fiasco. Such a result would recoil upon the Governments of the West in a way to shake their strength and credit far more than any -loss of fleets or battles. They have now, however, timely warning. The Ber lin treaty puts an end to -all -the fine hopes that were built upon the Emperor of Austria's sudden levies of 95,000 men. To the command of those levies, it will be remembered, it was made matter of much marvel that Schlick and another general, both noted for their attach ment to Russia, should have been named. Of course, as things turn out, they were the exact generals to take such a command. In precisely the same spirit the Prussian war minister was lately dismissed. The whole thing is a mock defiance. Under pretence of a hostile summons to force the Czar from the principalities, it is a friendly artifice to help him out of them. Even in arm ing, these German Powers have no purpose but to de ceive. They have done nothing, from first to last, that has not been a sham and a pretence. But surely all confidence in them must come to an end, now that their position is clearly defined. They have come forward at last, but., Russia in her distress, it is only boy pretend to impose upon her a forbearance which they very well know it to be now ber policy and her necessity to adopt of her own accord. Let us hope that they may at last, also, be made to feel how fully France and England understand their pusillanimity and dishonesty. Greatly should we regret if any assent has already been given to Austria's proposal to occupy Montenegro and a portion of either Bosnia or Albania. We might just as well allow the King of Prussia to garrison Athens and hold it for the interests of his imperial brother-in-law, the Czar. A well-timed official statement has just issued from Servia, fully exhibiting the duplicity of Austria, and expressing a fixed resolve to resist any occupation by the troops of that power.—Excttniner. PEACE AT - WHAT PRICE The Times informed us the other day that a single mistaken resolution of Sir Robert Peel's on railroads had cost the country at least a hundred millions, and what is even worse, that it has left the thing still to be done which he shrunk from doing. 'We do not think this an exaggerated view of the true state of the case. We, however, blame the public far more than Sir Robert ; and our posterity will blame us rather than any minister, if such overtures for the conclusion of the war should be accepted as it appears not improbable may be now proposed. If this were a war on our part and that of France for aggrandisement, or for necessary defence of our respec tive commercial or territorial interests, we should say, abandon the former, and as soon as the latter are se cured, let the sword be sheathed. But such is not the character of this war. This is a war against the Rus sian system--a system propounded and developed in the testament of Peter the Great, and which the Czars his successors have, as he exhorted them, regularly and without any deviation carried into action ever since. As he proposes, they have leagued with Austria and Prussia, and absorbed Poland ; they have connected themselves by so many alliances with the petty German princes as to become almost their liege lords ; they have sown divisions everywhere between the European powers, great and small, and by the inven tion of the Holy Alliance have established and widened divisions between princes and their subjects everywhere, until Austria and Prussia have become little more than their vassals ; they have mutilated Sweden ; and they have done all this and more, not as they happened indi vidually to be men of great ability, as Napoleon, or Cromwell, or Frederick, but as agents of a system which, founded on the nature of society in Asiatic and Euro pean Russia, imperiously constrains them successively to uniform action, whether they happen to be clever or stupid. The function of the Czar is merely to marshal and guide that general prop e nsity of the Tartar race to arms emigration which Peter points out as having, at previous epochs, achieved such great results in human affairs, though aiming at no definite object. Peter defines what that object should be for the future, and points out the means his successors should take for compassing it. No peace that this or any other Czarcan or will make, can or will involve a voluntary abandonment of this system. But France and England C. 1.11 now wrest out of their hands the power to follow it up for the future in the manner they have for the past. The question for the French and English public the refore is, " Shall we wrest this power from their hands now that we have them at an immense disadvantage, or shall we leave them enough of it to enable them in a few years to re new the struggle with us I" Such, at this moment, is the question on which the French and English, now so happily united, have to de cide ; and if it is, as we entirely believe, the great go verning point, there can be no doubt that the only possible security for future peace lies in their depriving the Czars of the power to prosecute this system for the future. Even the Prime Minister, we imagine, would agree to this, but then he would doubt whether it is the point—he would take a different view of the reality or the tendency of this Russian system. Here he stands on similar ground to that which Sir Robert Peel occupied when he took his disastrous resolution on the railroad question. Sir Robert stood on the threshold of a future, and did not believe it would realise itself into that present which we now deplore. Lord Aber deen stands similarly on the threshold of a future, and acts as if he believed no repression to be needed in order to render it less dangerous than the past. lie may be right, but, if ho is wrong—how awfully momentous will be the consequences to England, to France, to Europe, to civilisation, to mankind, should he accept peace un accompanied by that security for its continuance which the destruction of the power of Russia to do future harm can alone afford. We therefore hold that the paramount interests of the country require this point to be cleared up at once. the nation is entitled to have the means without fur ther delay of judging upon it. Our future prosperity depends upon a right decision in regard to it, in s,. higher degree than in regard to any other whicll his occurred in our time. If our ministers are of opinion that there is no future danger to England and to EurOtie from a peace that shall leave Russia pretty much as she is, let them say so. If they are of a contrary or differ ent opinion, let them announce it. In either MN we COURT CIRCULAR.

THE OPERATIONS IN THE 13LACK SEA.—Extract of a letter from Admiral Dundas, dated off Odessa :—" I own I feel annoyed at the remarks of a portion of the press at my lying all the winter at Therapia. If I had not done so, and had cruised for two months (in peace time), and bad exposed my ships by such a foolish plan, what a state they would have been, instead of, as they now are in the finest condition imaginable ! We arrived at Varna without a want, and found an aidc-de-camp from Otnar Pasha, expressing a wish that early in April I would come near him ; and there I was all ready, and in conjunction with the French fleet (18 sail of the line) and a dozen steamers. We are on the best possible terms with the French, and the utmost cordiality exists between us. Would you believe that the report of the Russian fleet having left Sebastopol, and landed troops on the Danube, was all a falsehood and destitute of truth ? I had steam-frigates cruising all round the Black Sea watching their movements; not one ship has ever left that port since we entered it. A few days ago we gave Odessa a little of our shot and shell. It was well done by the steamers, five English and four French, with six rocket-boats. I spared the town, and in a few hours we could have knocked both it and the mole ,where the neutral ships were into one mass of fire. The fort, Imperial mole, and Russian shipping were all de stroyed. I did, in conjuction with my French col league, what we considered our duty after the flag of truce bad been fired on. Our guns Garry beautifully." (From the -Bombay Times; April 28:) In Burinah affairs progress much the same as they did'at the date of our last 'summary. Brigadier- General Cheafie, K.C.B„ lia,s.resiguea the coinmand of the force, which now devolves upon Gen. Steele. " The Bassien district," says , a contemporary, is Still in an unsettled state, s o muc h so that it is not considered prudent to send the sterimer 'away at present. Had we only a few more such offiCers as Major Pytelio the country would be , soon - settled. More political officers are wanted sadly.. The work now imposed en the few is enormous. Capt. .Smith and Lieut. Baird and one or two more up the coun try will soon have to go. Poor Capt - . Cell's, o f th e lstMadrasFusiliers, who was wounded in an affray with dacoits at Tounghoo, has sincedjed. It is said that negotiations between the authorities at Pegu and Ava are in progress, and that Lord Dalhousie is likely to conclude a treaty-with the Monarch of the Golden Foot. No intelligence of any moment has been received from Persia during the past 15 daya. The Hon. Co.'s atearoer Acbar returned from Btishire- on the 15th inst., bringing despatches for • Government, but-they contain nothing of• import : ince. The fort of Abbas isstill invested. by,the , siank, who are represented as suffering much - from the -onslaught of the Arabs under Mahomet Salem. Thellon. Co.'s steamerFeroze proceeds to the Per siaii Gulf immediately, the Governor General having ordered the largest steamer in the Indian navy to be sent to those waters: The cause of this procedure is unknown. Notwithstanding Sir C.Wood's assertion in House of Commons that he disbelieved the report of a Russian army being at .Khiva, and the likeli hood of the Khan forming an alliance with the Khan of Bokhata and the ruler of Cabul, the latest intelligence from Affghanistan, if trust worthy, points to a different conclusion, and shows thb Auplibity . of Dost Mahomed. According to the Delhi Gazette, who has a correspondent at the city of Cabul, some Kokanees, ostensibly mer chants, but in reality Russian agents, had arrived at that city ; they were treated with marked civility 'l4 the Ameer, who frequentlyheld meetings - with them, alleging that they had favoured his escape from Bokhara, when he was confinedthere. The 'duplicity of the Ameer t .in tendering us his_ friend ship, while at the same time secretly conspiring against us, is -accounted for by -the fact that he fears his subjects will revolt, if he prefers the friendship of a power so distantas Russia to analliance With us, who are so near his dominions as Peshawur.. " Three days ago,". writing on the 19thinstant, says the, journal above alluded to, " a messenger came from Bokhara to the agents at Cabul; with despatches. The Russian General has deputed a nobleman of the Khan of Khiva to the' King of Bokhara, bearing the duplicate of the treaty con tracted between the General and the Khan.. A copy of the same paper has been sent to.the agents at Cabul. Both States (Russia and Khiva) have sworn on their sacred books, and have solemnly pledged themselves to be friends to each other, and Russia has en g aged never to interfere with the dominions and laws of Khiva till the end of this world ! It is stipulated that a Rusiiian am bassador is to reside at the Court .of Khiva,. and ten other Russian officers are placed at the head of 10,000 horsemen, employed and paid by Russia through the Khan of Khiva. The same treaty binds the " Koorgunj" state (Khiva) that all the Persian, Bokhara, Affghan, and Russian slaves now to be found within the realm of Khiva shall be set at liberty on the payment of half' their price to their-masters. The friends and enemies of one state are to be friends and enemies of the other. The Russians are allowed to build a can tonment, and station their force for 20 years within the Hoorgunj boundary, at the distance of one stage from the presant -boundary of Russia, for which the ' Khan of Khiva will receive a rent of 10,000 Winans. After the friendship. of both par ties has been -tried for the space of 20 years, the -Russians viillretire from their cantonments. The Ruskian general, who is encamped 'with this force within two or three inarcbes from Kiiiva, is by this treaty to retrace his steps 'after Nowitz festival, and take his station on the stipulated spot.. I These are the articleS of the treaty of, Russia with Khiva; which`l have read with my own eyes. The Kin.. of Bokhara shows great civility to the Khiva nobleman, who is accompanied by the agent of the Russian general. Nothing had transpired as to what his ajirsty hscl done or intended to do with the said ambassadors, until the departure of the messenger to Cabul, whom the Ameer has rewarded with 200 rupees for his journey over the snowy passes. It is believed that the King of Bokhara, who has had a favourable impression of Russia from along period, will attach himself to that power, since he will be thus saved from the incursions of the Khiva "Alomans" upon one side, and the encroach ments of the Affghans on the other. Dost Maho med Khan has also ordered that an agent on his part should go'to the Russian general in company with the " Kokanee," under the disguise of a mer chant. They aro to leave Cabul in the beginning of the next month (Rajaub or April). The agent. is requested to deliver the draft of the Ameer's, treaty in person to the . Russian general, and obtain all sorts of satisfactory assurances for their future ful filment. The Dost had demanded of the Govern ment of St. Petersburg to furnish him with with 5,000 Russian troops; and the necessary funds to recover the Affghan, territories of Peshawur and Cashmeer. When the -answer to this comes from the Russian general, with a sufficient sum of money from Khiva (whence he has lately advanced with a few officers, leaving his force behind), then the Dost will openly proclaim his alliance with Russia, and go to meet the general on the banks of the Oxus. The .agents of the Russian general wish to return to Khiva by the Candahar road, but the Ameer, being jealous of his brothers, is throwing obstacles in their way, and wants them ,to go through the Dehzurgee, Hazarab ' and Mere*. It is also re ported here that the King of Persia has sent two or three of his noblemen as ambassadors to Herat, Seestan, Candahar, and Cabal. The agents who are now with the Ameer assure him that Persia and Russia are one, and the ambassadors ofthe lat ter are undoubtedly coming by mutual consent. When these diplomatic personages appear in Can dahar and Cahill, the secret of the Ameer will be disclosed. Ono of. the Kohanee agents is desirous to see Peshawur, and return again to Cabul before his departure for Kliiva. I , have heard that the Ameer has asked Surdar Peer Mahomed Khan to escort' him with a trusty servant. The name Of the Russian general is commonly called " Khimkbab." • Dost Mahomed Khan pays more attention and respect to his brother Surdar Sooltan Mahomed Khan in these days, and the latter has nothing to do but to marry, daily and pass his time in pleasure, and erecting mirror houses. He is in debt,luad his creditors receive no justice from the Ameer. Post Mahomed Khan is engaged in communications with Mahomed . Shah Khan Ghilziee, and invites him to come to him, but the latter hesitates, and is satisfied with the wealth of the late Akbar Khan, which has fallen into hie possession. He is in his stronghold near the valley of the " Seeahposh Rafurs." There is no doubt that he will some day or other fall into the trap of the Araeer. Such is the tenor of the most recent intelligence from Cabul,n although we cannot of course vouch for its e:actitudeoe,rrwese. must observe, that we, cannot see why, a pendent who certainly appears to have the means of obtaining accurate information, should purposely deceive his employers. From another quarter news has also reached us that's subsidiary force is to be formed in• Saida,. and that the . Commissioner of that province had already received orders on the. subject. It is even said that Lord Dalhousie in tends visiting the Punjaub via &hide, so neces sary doei he consider his presence .to be at pre sent on our north-west frontier. The most im portant item of intelligence, which we _are happy to record, has been..the opening of the Ganges Canal, by the Lieutenant. Governor of the North- West Provinces, Mr. John Calvin, on the Bth instant. The ceremony, of which ample details will be found in subsequent columns, was attended by vast multitudes. Colonel Cautley the projec tor and-principal executive officer, was entertained by the Lieutenant-Governor, and the compliments which . he received on the occasion were not greater than he deserves. A telegraphic message announc ing the opening of the canal was sent from Roorkee to the Governer-General at Calcutta. It ran thus The Ganges Canal was opened this morning by the admission at Gi p.m. of water over the paved channel of the Solani aqueduct. Everything went off happily amidst the rejoicings of spectators." To this message the following reply was received at Meerut at half-past 2 o'clock p.m. from the Go vernor-General :--" I have rejoiced over your mes sage. All honour to Cautley." The time of transit was 47 minutes 29 seconds. -Although the Ganges canal, has been us fait .accompli, vie must not stop ,here. The work of irrigation in India.having been once commenced must not be abalidOz.ed. The Gange4 Valid will but .. stdoe for ' a - miserably small portion of - the land now lyin g waste in India for want •of water. • There are in this country rivers bearing away to the ocean waters which expended by means of works of irrigation on the thirsty soil, would bring millions of acres of the most fertile land into cultivation, which at present are barren, and which we believe, we are under the mark when we say, would repay in an incredibly short time an hundred-fold any outlay that might be necessary. India has heard the snort of the' iron horse; and the remuneration that awaits ub ai d tth t e , shareholders in our railway company is, no great, but it would be there nonsense to Make that, great as it will be, any criterion of the cer tain fortune derivable from the construction of works of irrigation. They are the first great de- - siderata, and will repay their projectors more-mu-. nificently than the most sanguine - could suppose. Touching the electric telegraph, we may here re-' mark that the line towards:Bombay from Agra to to Indere is complete, and is now rapidly pro- . 'gressing between the last-named place and the districts in Candeish. We hope ere long to report its final completion: We have just been favoured by an up-country friend, who has the best means of being an accurate observer of the electric tele -graph,' with some account of its progress. He tells us that the great difficulty has been the getting of a sufficient number of posts to carry on the work, which has been in consequence greatly delayed. From Gwalior to Agra, says our correspondent, some twenty thousand posts are required, and though every description of timber has been tried, straight aud crooked, hard and soft, yet the line is unfinished. The wire of the line between the above places was lying on the ground. for nearly a month before posts could be obtained. The per manent line, says he, will take years to finish ; the present one must be made the best of in the • meanwhile. Could posts have been had the whole line would have been ready in January, as the four artificers and parties at work have each been able to put up five miles a day. - Stone insulators, heated and soaked in oil, are being prepared at a great m ar a e ny bei p n l g ac b es uil o t n on th th e e r b o a ad uks , o ar the m i as milais onry and mountain torrents, which are numerous—whilst every possible means is being taken to strengthen the lino -a posts. With th ese precautions, it isi hoped that the communication may be kept open during the whole of the ensuing monsoon. On the line from Delhi to Umballah, and from Umballah to Loodianah, the posts are all of good sault tim ber, so that the same fears of their stability, need not be entertained, though they are of but small mantling. A most violent tornado passed from W.S.W. to . E.N.E. on the 10th inst. in- RtmgpOor in Bengal. It caused the most fearful loss of pro. perty and life, depopulating villages, and earFying before it louses,' cattle, and everything that inter- - rupted its course. Whole plantations of bamboos.. were uprooted, and " people were gored and spitted through and through like meat for roasting." - The - dead can be numbered by hundreds. The magis trate has called for reports of the damage sustained to forward them to Government. Intelligence hai - just been received of the-loss of the ship William Connal. The vessel went ashore on the Bth inst., in the surf abreast the village of liarushpoor, and was abandoned by her , crew, three of whom lost their lives by the swamping of the ship's . gig. Par- ticulars of the disaster have not reached us, but by the latest accounts the position of the vessel was considered hopeless, and it is extremely doubtful if any of her . - cargo can 'be saved. The news from Madras is. .unimportant. The death of the Com .mander-in-Chief, General Stavely, has been con firmed. The General died in his transitcarriage sud denly, and the postmortem examination of his body showed extensive cardiac disease. Major-General Sewell, C. 8., recently commanding the Mysore di vision, has been appointed provincial Commander in-chief of Madras. The Governor-General appears in earnest with the Nizam, and in future the crimes of his Arab mercenaries will not be allowed to pass unpunished. Mr. Bushby has indeed told him as much. " The English Government," he says, " cannot allow such offences to with impunity. It is the duty of the British Government, from con sideration of its own dignity, and the relation sub sisting between the two states, to demand from the Sirkar that it should inflict condign punish ment on all offenders ; and it is necessary to make an. example. The English Government cannot al low the execution of punishment 'to remain at the nisposal of the Arabs, or of the officers of the Ni zam's Government, for the obvious reason that neither isthe punishment awarded adequate to the offence, nor is there any certainty of its being car ried into effect." We regret to say that Colonel ' Gidley, of the Bombay Army, has been dismissed the service' by sentence of a Court-martial: The line step thus caused falls to -the 24th Regiment . Native Infantry, and promotes Major A. Shop heard, of the._ season of 1823 to the rank of tieutenant-Colonel, Captain W. G. Duncan to Major, Lieutenant R. Seateherd to Captain, and Ensign K. NeaVe 'to Lieutenant. From the ,facts which transpired on Colonel Gidley's court- 'martial, the Commander-in-Chief has deemed it is his duty to direct that Lieutenants Laurie, Calnyn, and Fraser, and Ensigns Loft and Ham mond, of the 15th Regiment N. 1., be brought to trial, and for this purpose a general court-martial commenced its proceedings yesterday. Mr. A. Malot, chief secretary to the Government of Bom bay, has been nominated the legislative member of the Council of India for the Western Presidency. Major Grant, of the Bombay Artillery, proceeds this day to Aden, on the Acbar, having been de tached on . special duty by Government. Lord Elphinstone is at the Presidency, and Lord. Fred erick Fitzdarence at Mahableshwar. Money is very scarce in Bombay, and business in the market un remunerative. CHINA. The China papers contain no news of the rebel lion. In cotton the market was firm. In teas the business during the fortnight has been limited. SHIP ON FMN.---The American clipper ship Flying Dutchman, from Canton, came into the London Docks on Thursday afternoon, and reports the following facts respecting the fire which was observed on the 2d inst. : —May 2, lat. 27 7 N., long. 37 20 W., at 2 a.m., made a large light on the weather bow ' hauled close by the wind to make it. At daylight the flames were distinctly semi but the wind hauling about four points, brotight it dead to windward. Three other sail were seen•be tween the Flying Dutchman and the object, one of which, an English barque, was seen to haul her courses up and heave too. Soon after she again made sail. At 4 p.m., tacked ship and ran down to and spoke the Eng. liah barque Derwent, 120 days from Samarang, for Rot! terdam ; she reported the fire seen as being a vessel of about 300 tons, apparently English, burnt to the copper; laid by her some time, with a look-out at the mast- • head, but saw no boa ts or rafts ; presume that the crew must have been picked up on the evening - previous, as the fire was seen by them as early as 7 p.m. The Derwent further reported that she went as close as practicable to the burning wreck, and saw from the state she was in that it was perfectly impossible for any one to be on board. The Derwent kept a light at her mast head as a guide for any boats from the wreck, if there was any. The" masts were over the side, and no thing standing above her copper but her stem and stern post ; observed nothing by which she could ascertain her name or what she was laden with. Last saw the light of the fire on the horizon at 11 a.m. (on board the Flying Dutchman, before the Derwent was spoken with), and it was supposed that the wreck then sank. Early on the morning of the fire being seen by the Flying Dutchman saw a number of vessels in different directions around the ship, and the fire being in the track of ships bound across the line and to the West Indies, it was thought that the crew of the burning vessel might have 'been taken off by some of them on the previous evening .
