In reply, I have to state that the Peterhoff was seized by a vessel belonging to a squadron under the command of Rear-Admiral Wilkes; that it is probable that both the vessel and the Admiral will arrive at this port within a few days ; that all ap plications regarding the Peterhoff ought properly to be made to him or to the commander of the cap turing vessel, and that I can only consent to take action in the matter in case after the return of the schooner Nonpareil from Havana it shall appear that their arrival is likely to be delayed indefinitely. In the meantime the prize-master has charge of the vessel until delivered over to the legal authorities. — Respectfully, T. BAILEY, Acting Rear-Admiral, Commanding E.G.B. Squadron. Antny. G. Butterfield, Esq., her Britannic Ma jesty's Vice-Consul, Key West. Per Europa Steamer, via Halifax. New York, March 31, 1863. Dear Sir,—The Peterhoff arrived at this port on the 28th, for adjudication in the Prize Court. I made application to go on board for the purpose of having an interview with Capt. Jarman, but was refused, and regret to inform you I have not yet seen him, neither can I do so until his evidence has been taken by the Prize Commissioners, which, I believe, is this day being done. The district attorney filed a libel against the Peterhoff yesterday, and, such being the fact, I doubt very much whether Lord Lyons will inter fere until her case has been argued. I will take the necessary steps for her defence, and after the captain's protest is drawn and ex tended will proceed with him to Washington and see Lord Lyons. It certainly is a great outrage sending her here from Key West, almost worse than her capture; and I sincerely hope you will lay the facts before Earl Russell, and induce him to make a formal de mand for her release, with damages on the Federal Government. I enclose you slips from the newspapers respect ing her, from which you will observe the authorities would not allow any person to go on board of her. I also have no doubt Captain Jarman writes you this mail, and perhaps Mr. Bowden, who is also on board. I will render the former all the assistance and in formation in my power, and engage a solicitor of high reputation to protect your interests in the Prize Court; and I need not add the expense of so doing must, with the damages, be charged to the Government. I hope to meet Captain Jarman before the mail closes, and will add a P.S. should I do so. The Nicholas Ist (S.), Granite State (S.), are re ported captured, and the Georgiana (S.), chased on shore near Charleston and destroyed. Gold is 148. Exchange 162. I am dear sir, yours very obediently, (Signed) EDWIN GERARD. Five p.m.--I have just discovered the captain will not be examined before to-morrow (Wednesday) April 1.

Neither of theicriminals has been visited by friends, but M'Phail has corresponded with his wife, who has arranged to visit him in the middle of the week.

His Excellency made his entry into Meerut on Saturday, the 7th March, with considerable military display, and Roorkoe 01 1 the 16th idem. Trio Commander-in-Chief of India arrived in Meerut on the Bth March, and in Roorkee on the 18th idem. W bllion still lurks in various districts in Gutih. Soiliiions letters have recently been circulated among the Mahomedan inhabitants, inciting them to rise against her Majesty's Government. Several parties have been arnsted, and committed to stand The cash balances on the 31st of January last, as compared with the balances on the same day in the two previous years, were as follows :-1863, 119,746,71 5 ;1862, £18,615,617 ; 1861, £12,637,757 The last balance in hand is the largest the govern ment in India ever had in its treasuries. The balances have thus increased by upwards of two millions since Mr. Laing brought in his budget in April last, when they stood at 171 millions. Specu lation was rife as to what Sir C. Trevelyan would do with his anticipated surplus; and the prices of government paper were rapidly running up. Th e 4 per cents, had nearly touched "par." Sir 0. Trevelyan has appointed Mr. A. 0. Hume, C. 8., son of the late Joseph Hume, M.P., to office in the Financial Department, with a view to the reorganising of official salaries. The Commissioner of Sciade is about to proceed on a political mission to the Persian Gulf, in connexion with the telegraphic and other means by which Government intend opening up a communication with England. The East Indian Railway, which was begun in 1851, has been carried on at the rate of 90 miles a year, and is completed from Calcutta to a point near Delhi, with the exception of 140 miles. The girder bridge over the Soane has been declared by the Viceroy to be exceeded in magnitude by only one bridge in the world. There has been some hard fighting in the Jynteah hills, and several of our officers have been wounded. By last accounts the "little war" seemed at an etd. Very extensive flights of locusts have visited the Punjaub. It is feared that the grub of next, year will cause immense damage, and efforts are being made to destroy the eggs. In one district the eggs were being collected by maunds. The new scale of Indian military pay and allow ances will, it is expected, come into operation from the Ist of May next. The Englishman says:— " A leading feature in the code is the wish of Go vernment to hold out very advantageous inducements to its officers to serve with native regiments of cavalry and infantry, even the commands of which have since the mutiny been taken from necessity. By the new scale a lieutenant-colonel command ing a native cavalry regiment will receive 1,550r5. a month; and if commanding an infantry corps, 1,450r5. From these rates the pay of com manding officers will graduate down by a slid ing scale according to their rank, a captain in command of a native regiment receiving 900 rs. a month. The staff pay of a number of appoint ments will also be increased; amongst others that of assistant-adjutant-general of division, which will in future be 600r5., instead of as at present 400 rs. a month." The Cotton Adulteration Bill, in its amended form, was before the Bombay Legislative Council, and was causing considerable discussion. The limes of India makes the following remarks upon this measure :—" Mr. Scott will deserve after all, we believe, the thanks of the public for his Cotton Bill. It emerges at last from the select committee, in a shape that will probably meet the views of all parties. The committee conceive,' says the report, 'that the object of any legislation such as that proposed is the prevention of the practices which endanger the existence of the great cotton trade of this presidency rather than the mere punishment of offenders, and keeping this in view, they S now beg to submit for the approval of the Council the draft of such a measure as appears to them best calculated to meet the exigencies of the case.' The bill accordingly makes the mere adul teration, or mixing, of cotton—whether fraudulent or not—unlawful, and punishable by fine and im prisonment. This is to strike at the root of the evil. The bill goes still further, and wisely taking the matter out of the hands of the merchant alto gether, provides for the appointment of Inspectors of Cotton,' whose duty it will be ' to suppress the use of unlicensed presses, and to examine cotton offered for compression, or exposed, or intended for sale.' The provisions under which the cotton screws and presses' are to be placed seem also to be honestly and carefully devised." On the 16th of March the Senate of the Presi dency College assembled in the Town Hall, Cal cutta, to confer the degree of Master of Arts on six. Hindoo students of that University. This was the first time that that honour has been conferred in Calcutta. We read in the Bengal .Hurkaru :—" The report of the probable removal of the seat of government to Allahabad or Agra, with a summer residence at Simla, has recently been revived—it being stated on good authority, that orders have been received from home not to proceed any further with the varioas public buildings, some time since projected and sanc tioned, and the want of which is becoming daily more urgent. No doubt, when railway communi cation is completed between Bombay and either of the above-named cities, a more central point than Calcutta will be found advantageous to Imperial interests. Following the seemingly inevitable course of empire to the westward, the chief seat of Indian commerce will, ere many yearahave passed, be transferred from Calcutta to Bombay, unless, in deed, the merchants of the existing capital rouse themselves to make such obvious improvements as the construction of wharves and goods sheds, thea supercession of pilot brigs by fast steamers, a nd large reduction of port dues. zeitNteToßf INTELLIGE N CE.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. NEWMARKET FIRST SPRING MEETING. MONDAY. From half-past one till five o'clock th's afternoon the racing public have been engaged here in looking at nine struggles between horses which would not attract any at tention at a third-rate country meeting. It is needless, therefore, to occupy valuable space with any remarks upon them, and we shall confine our attention to the motions of which notice has been given at the meeting of the Jockey Club on 'Wednesday. The first of these is by the Earl of Glasgow, who, with his characteristic love of fair play, is natut ally enough horrified at the disorderly scenes which have lately almost constantly occurred at the start for half mile races. He intends, therefore, to move " that after the termination of the First Spring Meeting, 1863, no race shall be run at Newmarket, over a shorter distance than the Two-yr-old' course, with the exception of Two-yr old' plates and stakes, run between the commencement of the Craven, and the end of the First October meetings, which may be run not less than half a mile." An amend ment will be moved to this .by Admiral Rous " that the stewards be requested to give no public money for a shorter distance than the' Two-yr-old course,' excepting for two yr-olds," which has the same tendency as Lord Glasgow's motion, in doing away with half-mile races, but does not go to the same length. The gallant Admiral has written to a weekly contemporary in support of short races as the only means of encouraging the owners of speedy jades which cannot run further under any racing weight; but we confess that in our judgment, if this is the best argu ment in their favour, it is a very poor one, Unless rac ing ,can be shown to encourage the breeding of horses useful for other purposes, the sooner it is abolished the better, for there can be no doubt that it is accompanied by a most fearful amount of demoralisation. We think, however, it might be shown that half-mile races, with a fair start, are useful in selecting the best mares among those which cannot stay, and as the breeder must fall back upon some of these, if so large a number as 2,000 foals are to be reared each year, it is well to give him this line to act upon. Admiral Rous argues strongly in favour of the possibility of effecting that desir able feature, a fair start even in half-mile races, and here we agree with him in his conclusion, though we cannot quite go the length of admitting that "no animal is so thoroughly under command as a race horse fit to run, and well prepared by the strongest exercise," if by the latter part of the sentence we are to understand—sufficiently well prepared for a half-mile race, which is the point at issue. Admiral Rous must be aware that many young horses, and even old ones, when trained only for a short race, are so full of life as to be ready to jump out of their skins, and hence we see so many of their riders unhorsed before they start. Nevertheless, we believe that by the co-operation of the trainer and the jockey, 99 horses out of 100 may be walked quietly to the post, and started fairly enough for all common pm poses, and if so, the difficulty altogether disappears, and under the new rule of the Jockey Club, properly carried out, we believe it will. On the whole, therefore, we trust that the amendment of Admiral Rous will be carried, and that the stewards will be permitted to use their own discretion in arranging the programmes of their future meetings, From the absence of rain the Heath is, if possible, harder than at the Craven meeting, and this will have a tendency to dimi nish the fields not only for the two great features of the week, but for the secondary stakes.

Bennett and Wake present their compli ments to the Editor of The Sun and beg to enclose the correspondence relating to ,the seizure of the steamship Peterhoff, and also the Sea Queen steamer about to sail for Matamoras. 77, Cornhill, E.C., April 10, 1863. The Right Hon. the Earl Russell, K.G., Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs. My Lord,—We, the merchants and brokers inte rested in the cargo and crew of the steamship Peter hoff, have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of your lordship's letter of the 3d inst., addressed to Mr. G. P, Harding and others. While thanking your lordship for the prompti tude with which her Majesty's Government has acted in this matter, we are desirous of requesting your lordship's attention to our position as explained by the letter in question. When sending the Peterhoff from the port of Lon don, we fulfilled every formality demanded by the law, and satisfied every requirement of mercantile custom. The legal nature of the voyage being thus established, we respectfully submit to your lordship that we are entitled to the protection of her Majes ty's Government in the prosecution of our ordinary commerce. But your lordship informs us by your letter that it is the right of a belligerent to capture all vessels reasonably suspected ;" and again whenever such cause of capture is alleged the case cannot be with drawn from the consideration of the prize courts." We do not seek to avoid the operation of the right of search, but we contend that what we have done excludes any reasonable doubt or suspicion. If after all legal and commercial formalities have been duly fulfilled, our vessel going to Mata moras ( a neutra l port), may notwithstanding be legally seized and detained by a belligerent on a mere allegation of , whatever her des eh seizure and s ti n n s a p t i i c o i n o n o , r the ca n r go, any is B l r i t b i s l e h vessel tosu de tention, and a belligerent has the right, whenever it suits his convenience, to interrupt, harass, and practically stop our trading with any neutral port he pleases. This position, resulting from the opinion communicated in the letter of your lordship, is one we are unwilling to accept as final, inasmuch as it places the whole commerce of the empire at the mercy of the discretion or indiscretion of the officers of any belligerent Power. This renders it necessary that we should further inform your lordship that some of us have large in terests in the Sea Queen, now loaded and lying in the port of London, and also in other vessels under engagement to follow the Peterhoff to Matamoras. Mr. Bennett, of the undersigned firm of Bennett and Wake, through whom the line has been estab lished, is now at that port, awaiting the anticipated arrival of the Peterhoff, and arranging for the reception and despatch of this and succeed ing steamers. We earnestly solicit the protec tion of her Majesty's Government for these vessels. Their capture and detention, and the consequent in terruption to our commerce, would produce far more serious loss than could be compensated by any da mages hereafter to be awarded. We are desirous of acting on any suggestion which your lordship may be good enough to make in order to more completely satisfy the authorities of the lawful nature of our operations; but we believe ourselves entitled to protection, and earnestly beg your lordship's favourable attention to this subject. Already are we called up m to pay largely increased rates of assurance in consequence of the opinion an nounced in your lordship's letter, and the imme diate result must be to embarrass and materially diminish the extent of our operations. There is another consequence ultimately arising which we approach with regret, but we think it our duty to inform your lordship that vessels of a neighbouring natio❑ have been observed to pass the American cruisers unchallenged,and that a tendency has been already-shown to divert this stream of commerce from our ports, and to seek under the French flag that protection which has hitherto been found under that of our own country. We respect fully solicit the honour of an interview, in order that we may more completely explain to your lord ship the extent to which our commercial interests are affected by the vexatious interruption to which we are subject, and in the hope of obtaining from your lordship some protection in our future opera tions.—We have the honour to remain, my Lord, your lordship's most obedient and humble servants, (Signed) G. P. HARDING, I. J. BENNETT AND WAKE, AND OTHERS. 77, Cornhill, E.C., April 11, 1863. The Right Hon. the Earl Rusaell,_K.G., Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs. My Lord,—We have the honour to enclose a list of vessels advertised in the New York Shipping and Commercial List of the 18th, 21st, and 25th March last, to sail for the port of Matamoras. We desire to call the attention of your lordship to the fact of merchant vessels being allowed to clear from the port of New York for this destina tion, while British vessels (as the Peterhoff steamer) are seized and detained when engaged in the legal prosecution of the same voyage. This would seem to imply a desire on the part of the Federal Government to retain for its own subjects the monopoly of this trade. _ _ We respectfully submit to your lordship that the advertimments in question, taken in connection with the late proceedings of Admiral Wilkes, esta blish the flagrant injustice of the acts of that officer. —We have the honour to remain, my Lord, your lordship's most obedient and very humble servants, (Signed) JAMES J.

Earl Russell presents his compliments to Mr. Harding, and with reference to the letter from him self and other merchants interested in the case of the Peterhoff, will be happy to receive them at this office to-morrow the 16th, at three o'clock p.m. 77, Cornhill, E.C., April 17, 1863. My Lord,—We had the honour of submitting to your lordship yesterday, our reasons for soliciting the interference of her Majesty's Government to afford some protection for the steamship Sea Queen, now lying at Falmouth, and detained by the owners in consequence of the capture of the Peterhoff. It is not necessary for us to dilate on the inconveni ence and loss arising to us merchants, whose goods are on board the Sea Queen, by such a detention and stopping of our legal trade. We, therefore, re spectfully suggest to your lordship that the presence of a mail agent on the vessel would offer a guarantee to the Federal authorities that the vessel would proceed to the port for which she was cleared; and we earnestly solicit of your lordship the appoint merit of such an official. Should our request meet with the approbation of your lordship, we are pre. pared ourselves to support any charge arising from such appointment.--11'e have the honour to remain, my lord, your lordship's most obedient servants, (Signed) JAMES J. BENNETT and WAKE. The Right Hon. Earl Russell, K.G., her Majesty's Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs. Foreign Office, April 18, 1863. Gentlemen,—l have laid before Earl Russell your letter of yesterday's date, requesting that instruc tions may be given for placing a Government mail agent on board the Sea Queen, which is now at Falmouth ; and I am directed to state to you in reply that, at Lord Russell's recommendation, the Postmaster-General will for the present relieve ves sels proceeding to Matamoras from the obligation of carrying ship letter mails.—l am, gentlemen, your most obedient humble servant, (Signed) E. HAMMOND. Messrs. James J. Bennett and Wake. April 11, 1863. Your Lordship,—We have this day received a letter from Messrs. Spence, Pile, and Co., the owners of the steamship Sea Queen, declining to allow that vessel to carry the mail to Matamoras, for which we applied to you on the 2d inst. They state as their reason that they have been unable to obtain any assurance of protection from her Majesty's Government against the capture of the vessel by Federal cruisers ; and further, that " in the case of the Udela, captured on her voyage from Bermuda to Nassau, and taken to Key West, that the seals of her. Majesty's mails were broken open by the authorities, and the Judge then in formed Capt. W. W. H. Hewitt, R.N., command ing her Majesty's ship Rinaldo, that he seals of all bags and letters would be opened, and letters read for information relative to vessels seized." We also learn that in the case of the steamship Peterhoff, despatched by us, and lately seized by the Federal war steamer Vanderbilt, that the mail had been taken possession of by the Federal autho rities. In making this communication to your lordship, we beg to point out the danger incurred under these circumstances by taking a mail, as it is not in our power, or that of the owners of the vessel, to control the nature of the letters which may be forwarded through the Post-office, and it would be quite pos sible for designing persons to forward by the Sea Queen fictitious letters of the most compromising character, entirely without the knowledge of our selves or shippers. We are, therefore, desirous of ascertaining, in the event of illegal seizure of the Sea Queen on her present voyage, whether such violation of her Majesty's mails can be justified, and whether we should, in that case, incur the risk of having their contents produced to strengthen alleged suspicion, and delay the release of the ship and cargo.—We have tha honour to be, your lord ship's obedient servant, (Signed) JAMES J. BENNETT AND WAKE. To the Right Hon. Lord Stanley of Alderley, Postmaster-General. No. 77, Cornhill, E.C., London, April 15, 1863. My Lord,—We had the honour of addressing a communication to your lordship on the 11th inst., informing your lordship of the refusal, on the part of the owners of the steamship Sea Queen, now de spatching by us to Matamoras, to carry mail bags, under the impression that their contents, if opened by the Federal authorities, might compromise the ship and cargo. We have not yet been favoured with any written reply to our letter, but a messenger who represented himself as sent by the Post-office authorities, called on the 13th inst. to say that the mails had that morning been placed on board, and wished to know how they could be recovered, the vessel having left the river. There being nothing in the appearance of the messenger to indicate the authority under which he professed to call, we waited some more official com munication ; but the vessel being now at Falmouth, we hasten to inform your lordship that the owners are aware they cannot legally refuse to carry a mail, and being indeed desirous to give the service of their vessel, if they can do so without undue risk, now ask your lordship to place on board a mail agent to take charge of the bags; and if your lordship consents to their request, are willing with ourselves in the interests of all parties to support the expense at tending on his voyage out:—We have the honour to be, my lord, your lordship's most obedient and humble servants, _ (Signed) JAMES J. BENNETT and WAKE. The Right Hon. Lord Stanley of Alderley, Postmaster-General. P.—Registered No. 27,623. General Post Office, April 16, 1863. Gentlemen,—Reforrirg to your letter of the 11th inst., respecting the steamship Sea Queen, about to sail for Matamoras, I am directed by the Post master General to inform you that previous to the receipt of that letter three ship-letter mails for Ma tamoras, containing eight letters and two news papers, had been placed on board the Sea Queen. The Postmaster-General must decline to express any opinion with respect to the question raised in the concluding paragraph of your letter. lam further to state that his lordship cannot accede to the proposal made in your second letter, dated the 15th inst., that he should place on board the Sea Queen a mail agent to take charge of the am, gentlemen, your obedient servant, (Signed) F. HILL. Messrs. J. J. Bennett and Wake, 77, Cornhill. p.—Registered No. 27,623. General Post Office, April 17, 1863. Gentlemen, —With reference to my letter of yes terday's date, I have further to inform you that if the owners of the steamship Sea Queen shall desire that the mails for Matamoras, which had been em barked before your letter of the 11th inst. reached this office, should not be carried by that vessel, and will instruct the corn mander to put them on shore at Falmouth, the Postmaster-General will autho rise the postmaster of Falmouth, by means of the electric telegraph, to receive the mails and return them to London.—l am, gentlemen, your obedient servant, (Signed) F. HILL. Messrs. Bennett and Wake, 77, Cornhill. No. 77, Cornhill, EX., London, April 17, 1863. My Lord,—We have the honour to acknowledge receipt of your letters of 16th and 17th inst., No. 27,623, and in reply we beg to inform your lord ship that the shippers and owners of the Sea Queen have applied to the Foreign-office for some protection to their goods and vessel, and until the reply has been received the owners are unwilling to return the mails, in the hope that the extreme position which caused them to dread having them on board may be somewhat modified. We may add that the letters and parcels of the merchants in our care have not been posted while the question remained pending, and we are also aware of many houses anxious to avail themselves of the opportunity of forwarding their letters by the Sea Queen through the post it possible. We have the honour to remain, my lord, Your lordship's most obedient and humble servants, (Signed) JAMES J. BENNETT AND WAKE. To the Right Hon.
