By this time they have, doubtless, received their orders from home, when, we have no doubt, it will be so arranged that whilst one of the frigates pursues the Diana, and brings her to action, the other will wait off Valparaiso the ar rival of the other Russian frigate the Auroca from Rio ► and do her best to capture her before she can reach a neutral port. THE RUSSIAN SQUADRON IN THE CHINA SEAS.—We learn by the overland telegraph, that the Russian squad ron that has been so long in the China seas left Ma nilla, March 18, for Batavia. We trust that they will not hear of the declaration of war before our Anglo- French squadrons take the intelligence and the enemy too at the same time. To effect this, however, we must employ the flag-ship Winchester, 50 ; Sybille, 40 ; En counter, 14, screw ; BArracoula, 6; Rattler, 9, screw ; ' and the two or three men-of-war the French have in China. They have, however, gone to a neutral port for the present, whither they must of course be followed, and not lost sight of.

The Royal Marines of the Woolwich division selected .or service in the Powerful, 84, at Portsmouth, left their rarracks at half-past 8 a.m. yesterday, and were played o the dockyard station by the ban d of the division, adienCe they proceeded en route to Portsmouth, to join .heir ship. Intelligence was yesterday received that her Majesty's steamer ulegmra, with troops, the Victoria steam tran :port, with troops, as also the steam transports Albatros snd Cambria, with troops, had passed Gibraltar on the .3d and 4th inst., going eastward for Gallipoli. A correspondent of a London contemporary, whose etter was published a day or two ago, incorrectly stated -hat the Megmra is lying at Portsmouth to embark the 12d. That steamer left Portsmouth on the 27th of April with a portion of the 38th, and the 42d embark a-day on board the Hydaspes. The Sydney, hired steam transport, having embarked s large portion of a battering train and 18 horses, was taken out of the basin at Woolwich on Tuesday, and proceeded to Greenhithe to take on board powder from Purfleet for conveyance to the East. The Jason, hired screw steam transport, having taken 227 horses on board in the basin at Woolwich, and a battery and half a battery, was taken out on Tuesday, is her draught of water would not allow of more stores being put on board in the basin, and at 6 p.m. left for Greenhithe to take on board the remainder of her stores here. Some idea may be formed of the admirable facili ties and excellent arrangements for embarking horses at Woolwich when it is stated that the Jason was taken ,nto the basin at 6 p.m. on Monday, and 80 horses put .n board by a quarter to 9 the same evening, and or. the next day 147 horses were put on board before 11 o'clock ,;irenoon. Tuesday finished the embarkation of the -econd division of artillery for the East. Lieutenant- Jolene' Anderson. commanding the Field Batteries, Brigade Major Bingham, and Captain Riddell were con stant in their attendance every day while the embarka ;ions were taking place, and Li utenant Robertson was s•qually constant in attending to the arrangements for be embarkation of both men and horses. Rear-Admiral Duntlas, C. 13., and Captain Alexander Vlilne, Lords of the Admiralty, with Commodore John shepherd, were present during the embarkation, and .vhen the Jason went out of the basin, at 4 p.m., they returned to the Admiralty. Yesterday the directors of the East India Company took up a number of transports for the conveyance of 250 companies of troops from Kpgland to Calcutta. Die vessels hired for the conveyance of the men are all about 400 tons burden ; they embark between the 15th and 30th of June. In addition to the above, 1,000 rank and file embark at Cork for Calcutta the last week in June. On Monday afternoon the 63d Regiment was drawn up in heavy marching order in the Phcenix-park, For the purpose of being inspected by Major-General Cochrane, commanding the Dublin district. This being she half-yearly inspection, the service and depot coin panies were paraded together. The service companies being under orders for Greece, this inspection is likely to be the last which they will undergo previous to ein ;,arkation. The regiment having opened ranks, the :Major-General ninutely inspected the men and their appointments. The General then proceeded to inspect the recruits, nearly 400 in number, and expressed his 4ratitication at their promising appearance. On Monday the splendid troop-ship Tyrone, Captain Knowles, completed the embarkation of the last section if the officers, men, and horses of the 11th Hu•sars. On the same evening, all things being completed and ready for sea, the Tyrone was moved from the pier to her moorings in the centre of the harbour, the captain intending to put off to sea at 12 o'clock on Tuesday. On that morning, however, 16 of her crew mutinied, and refused to work the vessel, and before the hour of sailing arrived they deserted her and came ashore. Eight of them were taken into custody, and on being broughi - , be fore the police magistrate, and the complaint lodged against them, they were committed to Kilinainham gaol to abide their trial at the next commission.

THE RUSSIANS IN THE PA CIFIC.—We stated l ef y t Val ester- day that the Russ ian 52-gun frigate Diana had paraiso on the 23d March for the Sandwich Islands, and that the French 50-gun frigate La Forte, Admiral de Latorente, had left Valparaiso for Callao. It appears that, the French frigate arrived at Callao on the 6th of April, and that the British frigate President, 50, Captain Bur ridge, with the flag of Rear-Admiral and Price, also alp lel Valpariso soon after t he Russian French, arrived at Callao on the 7th Apri ail, tin Both ships remained there on the 12th, evidently w g the nem of the RUSSIA 'IN THE WRONG.—Two hundred years ago Itu.sia hid no poi ts but Archangel, for which >h,• was inde ted ti Eng.ish discovery.

The Atrato takes out 64 passengers and a, full , general cargo. The Peninsular and Oriental Company s steam-ship Madrid Captain Bradshaw, also took her departure this after , - noon for Vigo, Oporto, Lisbon, Cadiz, and Gibraltar. 23 passengers (among whom is Mr. Ross Moore. Q.C., M.P.), a full general cargo, and specie value 1,5001., for Lisbon, and 23,000/. for Cadiz. The South Gloucestershire Regiment was disbanded on Tuesday, after 23 days' drill, during which the most remarkable improvement was observed in the carriage and efficiency of the men. The inspection took place on the previous day before Colonel Patton, the inspecting officer of the district, on the old Racecourse at Glou cester, where an immense concourse of spectators had assembled from different parts of the country to witness the proceedings of the day. On the inspecting officer arrivin on the ground with the Colonel of the regiment (Earl Fitzhardinge), the whole regiment, 800 in number, presented arms, and afterwards went tlarot!gb different manoeuvres, including platoon and other firing, forming in squares, charging in line, repelling an attack, &c. At the close of the review the inspecting officer briefly addressed the men, and complimented theta on their proficiency, informing them that he should report most favourably of them to the Horse Guards. He also made some allusions to the war, and recommended the men to join the line. Earl Fitzhardinge also addressed the men, and commended them for their efficiency, steadiness, and industry, and for their good conduct i❑ quarters, in acknowledgment of which the ladies of Gmucester had provided refreshments for them at the close of the re view. His lordship also offered some general remarks on the force and the circumstances under which they had been called out, observing that from the highest lady in the land to the humblest subject in her Majesty's domi nions, all acknowledged the services they had come for ward to offer to their country. About 60 or 70 men have accepted the extra bounty offered by their noble colonel of 10s. each man, and volunteered into the line. It having been rumoured that a certain number of regiments of militia were likely to be called out for permanent duty, the Ist Somerset Militia Regiment, which is now assembled at Taunton for 28 days' drill, was formed in close column of companies on the eve:ling parade, and addressed by its Colonel, Viscount Hinton, when the whole regiment volunteered, to a man, to serve her Majesty wherever. they, might be . sent, and were only sorry they were not asked to volunteer as a body for Turkey. The Second Somerset Militia is being daily drilled in Sydenham field by the staff of the regiment, assisted by a few drill instructors of the line. The whole corps have expressed an unanimous desire to place their ser vices at the command of the Queen at the very first moment they may be required. A. considerable num ber of the men have already volunteered into regular regiments, which they will join on the expirati on of their 28 days' drill. The light infantry battalion of the Royal Sussex Militia, under the personal command of the Duke of Richmond, Lieutenant-Colonel Paine, and Major the Hon. Henry Gage (late Rifle Brigade), have been pro gressing very satisfactorily at Chichester du:ing the last week in their evolutions. They have also made very successful ball cartridge practice at the target. The Essex Rifles are to leave Colchester for the Tower next week. On Monday there was an inspection_ by the officers of the several companies as to the men most eligible for service. Those with families will, with fefew exceptions, be di - banded. Four in each company will . be allowed to take their wives to act as laundresses. THE EXPLOSION OF THE JASPER• Yesterday, on Mr. John Borrer and Mr. F. J. Hall, the sitting magistrates of the Brighton bench taking their seats, Mr. George White, the chief officer of police, called their attention to a statement in the morning papers relative to the explosion of the gun -brig Jasper off Beachy-head, and reflecting strongly on the conduct' ot the local authorities of Brighton. If, he said, it ._ was not out of place, he should like, while the reporters were present, to explain, what was done in the matter. The magistrates intimated that they were ready to hear what the chief officer had to say on the subject. Mr. White then stated that on Monday evening, about 5 o'clock, two officers called at his office, and represented that they belonged to the Jasper, which had blown up off Beachrhead, and that th e crew were in Brighton, requ he ir ing assistance. T he y wished to see the Mayor, and replied that Brighton had no Mayor, but that the high est local authority was Mr. Wilkinson, the Iligh Con stable. He then sent InSpector Terry to the High Con stable's office, in North-street, but it was found that Mr. r. Wilkinson was out of town. His c hief clerk, how accompanie 1 Mr. Terry to the office of Mr. Verrall, the magistrates' clerk. Mr. Verrall was of opinion that they had better go to Mr. Thorncroft, the assistant overseer. They did so, and Mr. Thorncroft o ffered to order adini:- sion for the whole of the crew into the workhouse ; but Mr. Terry and Mr. Wilkinson's clerk, thinking that something else ought to be done, went in search of Li e eut. Pratt, of the Coast-guard. On their w a y they calld at the police-office and found that Lieut. Pratt had arrived there ; and he undertook to take charge of tbe crew. lie did so, and left the office - at a quarter to 6, within thr quarters of an hour of their arrival. Mr. Borrer—Then he took charge o f them? He was the most proper person. Mr. White said that, happily, things of this sort occurred so seldom in Brighton that it did not strike him that he ought at once to have sent to Lieut. Pratt; on the contrary, he thought the best person was the High Constable. He did all he could for the seamen. Mr. Verrall (magistrates' clerk) explained that when In spectory Terry and Mr. Wilkinson's clerk came to him it was, he supposed, to inquire as to the High Constable's power to grant assistance to the crew, and to charge the same in his accounts. Mr. Wilkinson was away, and his clerk did not like to take upon himself the responsibility of granting assistance. He toll them his opinion with gird to the legal authority of Mr. Wilkinson—that he was not justified in making any such payment and charging it to the town. At the same time, it was ther a m atter of discretion with him, in his position, whe he would do so, and run the risk of the amount being allowed. Of course the same observations would apply ) and Wales to Mr. White and the police. Mr. Wilkinson's clerk 1 1854, and gives the n 0..- then inquired what was to be done ? He (Mr. Verrall)culation of those banks during sus replied that the only authority in the belt e d relief was the parochial board, and advised them to mention the case to Mr. Thorncroft, and ascertain the view which he took of the matter ; and they left with the intention of going to Mr. Thorncroft. He also expressed his surprise that, as they belonged to one of her Majesty's vessels, they did not apply to the naval a uthority here, Lieutenant Pratt. The answer was, that the application had been made to Mr. Wilkinson, as High Constable, and they wanted to know what to do. _ Lieutenant Pratt had afforded them every attention. It was natural that he should do so ; and, as far as he could judge, on the part of Mr. Wilkinson's clerk, in Mr. Wilkinson's absence, and also on the part of Mr. Terry, there was a great disposition to afford any and every assistance they felt justified legally in affording. Mr. Borrer—The fact was , that they wanted imme diate relief for the position in w hich the y were p laced, ; I ncrease e n the year ............ £62,989 On comparing the abo ve with the amounts of the fixed and it took some little time t o obtain it for them ? had.issues, the following appea rs to be the coniparitive state Mr. White—l am informe d that they lost all they s of the circulation : B o been ld' Mr. V orrer—Some language erral said that if they had f reproach h so leias been used. s they The private banks are below th eir fixed issues £703,006 Mr. The joint-stock banks are b elow their fixed issues 172,703 £875,709 have been Wetted; but the local act said nothin g • Total below their fix ed'xisties PRIVANE AND JOINT-STOCK BANKS.

Yesterday the High-Marshal to the Supreme Court of kdiniralty gave notice, on the Royal Exchange, that Dr. Lushington, the Judge of that Court, would, Within 20 days from the date of such notice, proceed to condemn the following Russian ships as lawful prizes to heir captors—namely, the Johanna Emilie, Fidentia, Amercia, Aina, Nadescha, the Fenix or Phoenix, the Froya, and Livonia. The First Court of Admiralty for the condemnation of Russian prizes is appointed to be held in Doctors'-commons on the 22d inst. The schooner Victo prize to the Euryalus, 51 grins, screw steam-ship, Cap r, tain George Ramsay, arrive d on 'Tuesday last at Sheerness from Hartlepool, having put into that port in consequence of the prize crew being Abort of provisions. On arrival the prizemaster corn ,nunicated with the guardship for the day (the Tribune), and at tidetime she was towed to the Nore by the steam-vessel Adder, on her way to London. The Abo and 2Eger, prizes to the Tribune, anchored at the Nore on Tuesday, and aft , ir the prizeinasters had communi cated with the Tribune they proceeded on fur London. Yesterday another Ru ssian prize, the Alexander, which arrived at Gravesend on Tuesday, was deposited in the West India Docks. Advices were. received yesterday at the Admiralty, under date Memel, the 13 th of May, that e rjesty s ship Amphion, reported in several of the German jour nals to have teen captured by the Russians, and her crew made prisoners, were at the above date moored in Memel harbour, all well. The Royal Albert, 131 guns, s crew steam-ship, was 'esterday taken into the fitting basin at Sheerness ; she will be placed under the wasting shears for the purpose ,f receiving her heavy machinery, boilers, &0., after which she is to be taken into No. 3 dry dock, to be coppered, and complete the necessary works to her hull.

The St. Vincent, 101, Captain Elliot, at Portsmouth, has been ordered to return her sails into store ashore. By this we infer she is not intended for sea service. The Sprightly, steam-tender, Master-Commander George Allen, left Portsmouth harbour yesterday morn ing for Brighton, to bring back the three boats of the ,ost steam-gunboat Jasper, which were left in charge of the commanding officer of the Coast-guard station at that place. The Curacoa, 30, new screw stea,m•friga.te' was placed in No. 9 dock at Portsmouth yeste rda y to be coppered ind hastened for cominiheion. The Calcutta, 82, Captain Stopford, having had her copper examined and repaired, was removed from the lock on Tuesday, and pLiced alongside the jetty at Ply nouth, preparatory to being rigged. The paddle steam-sloop Stromboli, Commander N. Tall, sailed from Plymouth o n Tuesday, to join the ,Vhite Sea Squadron in the Downs. The frigate Portland, 50, is ordered to be rigged by he riegers of the Plymouth dockyard, and to be placed a ordinary. The Indefatigable, 50, will, it is said, be wought forward for active service in place of the Port- !and. Yesterday afternoon, at 4 o'clock, the second of the two screw-frigates, built for the Russian Government in i'itcher's dockyard, Northfleet, and, after being seized y the Customs, purchased by our Government, was iunched in the presence of a large concourse of specta trs, both in the yard, on the h. ights adjoining it, anil an immense number of boats on the river abreast of it. me curiosity and desire of the public to see " one of the itussiau prizes taken in Pitcher's dockyard," together with the remarkable fineness of the day, contributed no loubt to bring together so unusually great a number of teople. The first of these twin ships intended for the Russian service was named the "th Tartar. e Cossack." Th artar, T e one , l unched now was named " " The Ike the Cossack, will be ship-rigged, and fitted with the flame number of guns. Her measurement is as fol about sailors, and it was a very natural observation of Mr. Wilkinson's clerk that " it they had been soldiers they could have been billetted." Mr. Borrer—Just so. They looked to their instruc tions, and found that they couid do something for sol diers, but not for sailors. • Mr. Verrall was sure that there was no want of feel ing in the matter. Mr. White naturally did not like to take the responsibility upon himself of relieving them, and so risk whether the commissioners would allow the expenditure or not ; and the same with regard to Mr. Wilkinson's clerk. Lieutenant Pratt took them away three-quarters of an hour after they had been in the town. Here the matter ended. THE WAR IN THE EAST. The balance is already turning against Russia. The Russian soldiers in the Dobrudscha (as we foretold some time ago) are dying off like rotten sheep. The inhabitants of Fokschany have risen in their rear, and burned their military stores. The accounts we published some days ago of victories gained over them at several points on the Danube are confirmed. The military de fences and military stores at the Russian Liverpool on the Euxine—Odessa —have been destroyed. The Russian Black Sea fleet is cooped up in Sebastopol. The Cir cassians have, without losing a moment, occupied and begun to repair the forts on their coast dismantled and deserted by their invaders. The French have already sent arms to these gallant mountaineers, and the English are about to send an accredited agent to Sob itnyl. The-e multiplying disasters of Russia in the South, if earnestly and promptly turned to account by the allies, will soon disabuse the Russian people of any misconceptions in stilled into them by official reports of their Government representing defeats as victorie4. In the North, too, affairs look louring on the Autocrat. He has declared St. Petersburg in a state of siege, and the suffering and discontent of the nobles and merchants there grow daily more alarming ; a state of mini not likely to be paci fied by any event reported to us from St. Petersburg — that on the 9th instant the British fleet had been seen within thirty miles of Cronatadt, and that a number of Russian gun-boats had been captured. In this dawn of promise for the good cause, every in dication of increased alacrity and improved organisation at head-quarters, is hailed with joy. Nor are such in dications wanting on this side of the Channel. Under the new Po:4-office management measures have already been adopted for redressing the complaints from the Baltic fleet of the postage charges and tardy and irre gular delivery of letters. A reinforcement of gun-boats will immediately be sent off to the fleet. In short, care is evidently being taken to increase the efficiency of our armaments, and to keep our gallant crews in good spirits and temper. On the part of France, too, some not un important movements have to be chronicled. Prince Napoleon has arrived at Constantinople, where he ap pears to be winning golden opinions ; Marshal St. Arnaud was at Smyrna on the 6th inst., and was ex pected to reach Gallipoli on the morning of the 7th ; and the arrival of M. Bourke, " Ministel- Plenipoten tiary en mission to Constantinople," at Marseilles, is an nounced. We have no desire to press hard on a brave and skilful soldier, but it is re-assuring to learn that Gen. Baraguay d'Hilliers has been called back to his professional duties, where he is qualified to be of eminent service, instead of being allowed ta remain at Constanti nople, where he has shown himself destitute alike of the tact and temper required in a diplomatist. " Let bygones be bygones" has been our maxim throughout these trans actions, whenever errors have been put in the way of amendment, and therefore we will not too critically , scrutinise the palhations alleged for the strangely frac tious conduct of the General ; though—with the informa tion contained in a letter from Constantinople which we publish to-day, respecting the vexatious part acted by him in frustrating the transmission of 5,000 British troops to Varna and Sustendje—we cannot but rejoice heartily that others of his countrymen, endowed with more happy tempers, are about to supersede him in his present mission. This would be welcome news, were it only that it shows that the General's eccentricities are strictly personal, and have given quite as much annoy ance to his own Government as to its allies. But more important immediate results may be looked for. Forces under the control of one will have an immense advan tage over antagonists- whose instructions emanate from more centres of authority than one ; and the utmost mutual concession and temper are required on the part of co-operating allies to neutralise the inequality apt to arise from this source. But while we do justice to the indications of aug mented energy and improved management, visible in some more recent operations of our home , Government, it would be a dereliction of duty not to continue to press upon them the reparation of errors where no amend ment is yet apparent. When arguing the ques tion of the comparative eligiblity of steamers and sailing vessels, as transports for the horses of the ..cavalry and artillery, we' urged the danger of the suianaist being landed in a bad condition (even such of them as survived), after being subjected to the tedious ordeal of a tardy and uncertain passage in a sailing transport. If the information conveyed to our Constantinople corres pondent be correct, our worst fears in this respect have been more than realised. He states that he is informed that the mortality among the horses, on board of one transport only, had risen, by the time it reached Malta, to an average of no less than from 10 to 12 daily. We would fain nourish the hope that there is exaggeration here, or that the case will prove exceptional ; but there is a fact stated in the letter referred to—respecting which our correspondent cannot have been misinformed, inasmuch as it has fallen under his own personal appre hension—calculated to awaken lively uneasiness in con nexion with such a report. The horse markets in Con stantinople and the surrounding districts it is well known can at no time supply cattle of power and blood equal to the average of the horses required for our cav alry and artillery ; and our correspondent aids that these markets have already been drained of the most available animals to an extent that will render remanets costly and difficult in the event of his news from Malta proving strictly accurate. These are considerations which ought to have the effect of inducing Govern ment to revise its judgment as to the class of transports that ought to be employed for the conveyance of horses to the East. It will be seen that the French know what they are about in such matters, for they have bought three huge English steamers for use as transports. Another point that cannot be too often or too strongly insisted upon is the urgent necessity that whatever is to be done in Greece and the Greek waters should he un dertaken without delay. Piracy, with all its old atro cities, is making giant strides there. The blood of peaceful English traders has already been shed, and if stringent measures of repression are not immediately adopted, who can tell how much more will be poured out ! It is enough that the blood of our soldiers and sailors is freely drained in just and inevitable warfare ; it is not to be tolerated that the blood of our unoffending and industrious non-combatants should be added to the crimson stream. No weight can be attached to allegations that the reports of piracies in the Archipe lago may be exaggerated. We know by sad experience of old that its creeks and narrow and intricate channels swarm with ruffians as unscrupulous as ever haunted the pirate resorts of Cuba. And the mere belief that Greek piracy is again rearing its head in the Levant may paralyse the operations of our merchants there to a far greater extent than any war with Russia, It will never do to repeat the blunder of 1830, and attempt to buy off the Greek pirates by adding to the territories of their race, The measures which effectually put an end to Spanish piracies in the Caribbean Sea, and the Gulf of Mexico, and the adjoining waters, are the only measures worthy of England, and calculated to afford real protec tion to our trade, that can be adopted in the Grecian Archipelago. The puny guerilla marauders and accomplices of Russia in Greece require only to be earnestly grappled with in order to their being crushed. And the indica tions enumerated in the outset of these remarks prove that their great instigator may be effectually and spee dily crushed in the same manner. The bear is the typi cal animal for Russia as the lion is for England. When Norwegian huntsmen see the bear advancing to attack them, they hold the handle of a long sharp knife to their breast, and commit themselves to his hug. This is a lesson for us how to deal with the Russian Bruin. Brutes are no match for men, if men have the courage, self-pos session, and alacrity which alone can render them worthy of the name. Close with the Russian and he . will soon be conquered.—Daily News. re- I _:,~ ::~- ADDITIONAL PARTICULARS. THE ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH IN INDIA. A Cor respondent of the .Morning Chronicle writes : —lt is only eleven mouths since the first :mil way in India was opened for traffic, and I have now the pleasure of reporting the opening of the first long line of electric telegraph, which took place on the 24th instant, between Agra and Calcutta, a distance of 800 miles. The last yard of the wires was fixed late on the afternoon of that day at Agra, and immediately after the superintendent sent a message to Lord Dalhousie at Calcutta, which reached Government-house in one hour and fifty minutes from the time it was signalled at Agra. As yet the line of wire is but single, and words have to be telegraphed on from station to station. But still the improvement in the means of commu nication is most wonderful, and in case of a war would be invaluable. I have only been ten years in India, but yet I remember when a letter took nine days in the fine season, and twelve in th e rains, between Calcutta and Agra. A few days after the receipt of the message, the following ap peared in the Government Gazette:— MARCH 27.—The Most Noble the Governor-Geheral in Council having, on the evening of the 24th March, received from the city of Agra a message by electric telegraph, con veyed in one hour and fifty minutes, is pleased to direct that the fact shall be published in the Government Gazette for general information. The construction of the electric telegraph was only com menced after the end of the last monsoon. That a message should have been transmitted along 8(0 miles of con tiutiou4 line in this month of March, is very honourable to the su perintendent, and most creditable to those who under his orders have accomolished the work. Such energy and industry deserve reward. His lordship in council is therefore pleased-to direct, that dcuole pay shall be given to the whole establishment which has been employed on the electriditele - g r aph between Agra and Cal - clitta, for the montu of March. durin g which their exer tions have accomplished the opening of the first great sec tion of the India Electric Telegraph. By order of the Governor General of India in Council, C. ALLEN, Officiating Secretary to the Government of India. HONG KONG, March 27. The mad of the 24th of January from London arrived on the 13th inst. ; that of the Bth of February is doe. The news of the past fortnight is not of great moment. From Shanghai our dates are to the 15th inst. In the city matters remained without change, and there had been less fighting going on. The Imperialists had re ceived further reinforcements, but heavy rains caused a cessation of attempts to retake the place. The party in the city were expecting assistance. There appears to be some movement of the rebel force from the westward towards the seaboard provinces, and we may hear shortly of their further progress in the green tea districts. Pekin Gazettes are to the 30th of January. The accounts of the success of the rebels north are conflicting. The Imperialists were reported having been successful at Tuhleu, which has been contradicted, and the rebel army is said to maintain firmly its position at Tuhleu and Tsinghai. It appears beyond doubt that the city of Laoucbeu, in the Ghanwuy province, has fallen to the rebels. We regret to find his Excellency the Superintendent of Trade, when at Shanghai, did not settle the duty question. It appears unfair to the merchants to be kept in suspense, and we calnot but conclude the consular authorities at Shanghai have much to ,answer for by their vacillating conduct. Our dates from Foo-chou-fow are of the 3d inst. All was quiet. We have to report the total loss in the river Min, on the 25th ult., of the American clipper Oriental, bound to New York with a full cargo of tea. From Amoy we have advices to the 20th inst. Trade slowly improving, and numbers of pirates again appear ing on the coast and interfering with the junk trade to Formosa. _ _ The Dutch ship Commercial Compagnie had sailed from Swartaw for Havannah on the 10th inst., with 500 coolies. The accounts received at Canton from the tea dis tricts of disturbances are very unfavourable, and there appears some good foundation for their causing alarm at Canton, and interfering with the departure of the tea merchants with their treasure for the interior. The movement whether of rebels or banditti, seems more extended than last year ; and we are apprehensive of constant interruption to trade this season. There was lately some excitement at Canton, but all is quiet. The executions during the past week have been numerous. The import trade is again affected by the unsettled state of the country ; and there has been but little dis- position among dealers to take goods. Tax is well sup ported in price. Shipments are kept back from the difficulty of procuring tonnage. The increase of export on that of last year to the same time shows a great falling off ,• the last month being estimated at 5,800.0001 b. 1 4 February the iu crease was stated at 14,000,0001 b.

The export of silk from China is estimated at 48,800 bales. We have to notice the departure of the Russian ship Cesarewitch to St. Petersburg with teas from Shanghai. This is unusual. His Excellency Admiral Pellew struck his flag from on board the Winchester on the 16th, under the usual salute, and left for Trincomalee in her Majesty's steamer Barracouta. The United States' Commissioner, his Excellency Robe! t M`Lane, arrived in the mail-steamer on the 12th instant. The Spanish steamer Jorge Juan arrived from Manilla on the 25th inst., with dates to the 21st inst.

El Hamee Pasha, 17 years of age, son of the Viceroy Abbas Pasha, left for Constantinople on the 4th inst., in the steam-yacht Faid Gehaad, on a state visit to the Sultan and the Sultan's daughter, his bride. The pre sents the Prince carries with him to Constantinople fall far short of what his father expected to send, in conse quence of the very great straitness of money from which his Highness is suffering. The cash taken by the Prince dies not reach 100,0001. sterling, while the Viceroy's first wish was to have sent at least five times that amount. It is, consequently, feared that El Hamee Pasha will not be so very we come at Constantinople, as there is little doubt that the Sultan offered his daughter to hint in the expectation of receiving a good round ;aim from the Pasha of Egypt for the honour thus conferred upon him. The India mails' proceed this day by the Ripon to Malta and Southampton, after having lain here since the 4th. The steamer Bombay having arrived at Suez on the Ist inst., Mr. Anderson, one of the directors of the Peninsular and Oriental Company, returns to Eng lind by the Ripon, after having obtained from the Pasha a reduction of half the transit duty charged on all goods passing through Egypt, the duty to be in future a quar ter per eent., in lieu of a-half per cent., on the value.

By the Royal mail steamer Magdalena we have received, via Panama, accountsfrom Sydney to the 21st of February, being a fortnight later than those by the Marco Polo. From Melbourne our files of papers are only three days later than brought by that vessel. At Sydney the rate of interest had been raised from 4to 5 per cent. The following is the latest report from the mining districts from a correspon dent of the Sydney Herald : " BRAIDWOOD, Feb. 16.—Since my last I still have to report great prosperity among our gold diggers. The new diggings on Major's Creek are turning out even better than the most sanguine could have anticipated, and the success that has attended many is most cheering, and, to those who have as yet been unsuccessful, en• couraging them to further exertions, which I have no doubt will in the end be crowned with success according to their exertions. " I mentioned in my last that there were about 1,000 persons on the diggings, and 700 at work. I may now say, 1.100 people located or walking about, of which number about 750 or 300 have licenses, the other 300 being women, children, and nondescripts. Now, as to the remunerativeness of these new diggings, I caenot enumerate all the different parties who are successful, but merely give a few of those whose success has more immediately come within my knowledge. A party of four, the vr,ek before last took upwards of 40 ounces of gold out in the week, being an average each man of 361. 10s. Another party, numbering 10, I believe, are taking out their 12 ounces per day. Brown's party are doing remarkably well, as likewise M`Donough's, and very many others, too numerous to mention. There are stores and sly grog shops in abundance—the former well supplied with every -requisite for a gold digger's pur pose, and cheap ; the latter with every enticing beve rage to lure and debase the- man. There are still, not withstanding the new diggings, a number digging on the private lands of Mr. Badgery; I believe upwards of 100 licenses have been issued, and they seem all to be doing a fair stroke. " With regard to the English company, I must delay giving you their transactions until my next. I believe, however, that the Messrs. Shepherd and Alger's party are doing well ; certainly their plot of land near the new diggings, from out appearances, promises great things, and, I have little doubt, will realise to its owners s highly remunerative investment, if not an independent fortune. Diggers up here would lain have a ' dig' at it but unfortunately for them, the lucky proprietors have too good an opinion of its auriferous deposits ; and who can blame them for endeavouring to make th most of their property ? " With regard to the Seymour estate, which was so very remunerative to gold diggers last year, there are few, it any, parties working upon the licensing system at present. The private commissioner upon the estate discourages it as much as he can by charging a license tee of 21. ; but there are several parties working upon the seignioraga. principle, which is in general allowed to be the fairest of all mode; of letting land for gold-mining purposes. "The large party who have been working for a con siderable period with great success on Bell's Creek are still enjoying their good fortunes, and I am informed from the best sources that 200 ounces of gold per month of late had been about their average. In a large round or flat supposed to have been an old waterhule, they have taken out 1,200 ounces of gold. "There is another party higher up the creek, and upon the same property, who are likewise finding it highly remunerative. " The tableland upon this estate, which last year turned out so well, is now entirely deserted ; the per sons who were working there a short time since have all left fur the new diggings on Major's Creek, where the license fee is only 10s., instead of 455., which is an im mense consideration to any digger, should he prove to be unsuccessful at first commencing operations, which is frequently the case. " Mr. Moreing, who is the private commissioner upon the estate, has, with praiseworthy enterprise, commenced a series of experiments by sinking shafts to considerable depths, in order, if possible, to penetrate to the hard granite, which up to the present time has not been at tempted, or, at least, if attempted, has not been perse vered with, to give the experiment a fair trial." A destructive fire took place at Hobart Town on the 21st of January, during which property to the value of $400,000 was destroyed. Crown lands in certain localities commanded a high price. In the township of Gladstone, the upset price of which was 201. per acre, the land sold at 518/, per acre. We have New Zealand papers to the 21st of January. No material alteration had taken place in the price of flour, which was quoted at 231. per ton, and wheat 10s. a bushel. Sawn timber 16s. per 100 feet.

The reply to inquiries was, that no answer could be given until the Gover ior-General's decision was known, but we believe that the whole amount was tendered for by the Savings Bank Trustees at 4 per cent. premium. There were tenders for nearly 80,0001. additional, at rates varying from . to li per cent. premium. It is rumoured that it is intended to accept tenders for a larger amount than was advertised for.
