We may now look for fresh telegraphic accounts from India, at almost any hour. There are many points of the deepest interest and almost of vital importance on which information is anxiously anti cipated by the nation. The proceedings of General HAVELOCK and his gallant troops are, perhaps, of the greatest moment. At the last dates, after the re-occupation of Caynpore, ho was pursuing the miscreant NENA SAME and his bloodthirsty gag; to their stronghold at Ballow'. It was necessary to come to a short, sharp, and decisive reckoning with that doubled-dyed traitor and assassin. If he were permitted to rest with im punity while the rescuers of Cawnpore proceeded to the relief of Lucknow, a dangerous body would remain in the rear, ready- to take advant tge of any combination of circumstances that might arise. Cawnpore might again fall into the hand, of the rebels, and Colonel NEILE, and the party of nearly 300 British soldiers advancing to effect a junction with flAvmocK, would probably be cut off to a man. These are considerations of no ordi nary magnitude, which render the destruction of Bithoor the first work to be accomplished. But this is by no means an easy task. An en trenched and fortified position, defended by at least five times the number of its assailants, has to be stormed, and the garrison, for so they may be termed, dispersed. Any check, any serious delay will, so far as the relief of Lucknow is con cerned, be almost tantamount to a defeat. In order to avert a calamity of the mast fearful cha• ratter, the work must not only be thoroughly but speedily acc)inplished. Time will defeat the famishing garrison of Lucknow, and the many women and children who have sought re fuge there, as surely as the most deci sive success of the reboil. Better perhaps that •they R h o - d die with arms in their hand , , and boldly fighting, than be treacherously butchered after a capitulation, as were the ill-fated soldiers and refugees at Cawnpore. Lucknow was but some 50 or GO miles from the position of Have lock, but great difficulties impeded his advance, and the time might well pass away b e f ore he could lead his troops to the rescue, and* pl ace the be leaguered garrison in a situation of c3ruparative safety. Great anxiety must also be entertained respect ing the fate of Agra. There the fugitives were far more numerous than at any other place within the disturbed district 4. Seve ral thousands of our countrymen and country women were dependent on the shelter it afforded, and the protection of its gallant garrison. Tire daring attack which they made on the rebels, although partially unsuccessful, through a series of casualties, probably prevented a regular assault which might have terminated fatally for all the English party—non-combatants as well as com batant?. But we know not whether fhe original intention of the mutineers may again be acted on, or what may be the results thereof. . We can scarcely anticipate that Delhi has as yet been captured, and the insurrection crushed at it 3 very fountain and origin. Our scanty army could scarcely do more than maint'::n their position before it walls until t'ne arrival of ade quate reinforcements, which could scarcely have arrived in sufficient force, to warra-zt a general e.ssault before the time of the transmission of the mails. The people look forward, then, with thrilling and intense excitement to the tidings that may arrive under the he.:.ds of Bithoor, Luckuow, Agra, Delbi, and many other districts, into which, although hitherto comparatively tranquil, the rebellion may have made progress. The Home Government have done much, but have their exertions been adequate to the terrible exigencies of the case ? They have already despatched some 25,000 soldiers, and at least 10,000 more are under orders. In addition to this nearly 5,000 disciplined men have been ad stracted from their original destination in China, and as many more will probably be spared from the Cape, Ceylon, and other stations. But more will be required, if merely to keep up the forces in India at their present strength, and cDunter balance the inevitable " wear and tear." Not only the chances of war, but of disease in so trying a climate, must thin our ranks, and greatly re duce the numbers of fighting men available for service against the traitorous mutineers and their sanguinary allies. We must, therefore, maintain a large reserve at home to supply the necessary draughts, and the manner in which that can be achieved is a problem, on the due solution whereof the safety, honour, and welfare not only of the Anglo-Indian Empire, but of the United King corn, greatly depends. Besides, it is not in India only that troops are wanting. We must not forget China, and the claims which it possesses on our attention. If 5,000 men were required in the spring, we should now be prepared to send at least double that number. But how can this be done ? Surely every nerve must be strained to the uttermost, and all considera tions of £ s. D. placed in abeyance, in order to meet suitably the imperative demands on our resources. We can bear the expense, and it must not be spared in such a cause. We are, it appears, recruiting actively. Second battalions are to be added to no less than 15 different regiments, practically doubling their strength. Others are to have their numbers increased to the full complement of 1,000 rank and file, in place of 840 men on their present establishments ; and 15 regiments of militia are to be embodied. By these means 30,000 to 35,000 soldiers will be raised in lieu of those who have already been dispatched, or who are under order s for India. It is in the latter case that of the militia—that the proceeding seems to be altogether inadequate. Why restrict the number to fifteen regiments, or 15,000 bayonets ? It would be well to call out every regiment, and thus provide the best possible means of recruiting the regular army. We have already had abundant evidence of the readiness of those brave fellows to meet any emergency that may arise. We have not the slightest hesitation in saying 4hat nine-tenths of their numbers would be•ready to volunteer not only for service in our colonies, and thus liberate the troops by which they are at present garrisoned, but even for India itself if their services were required. They are organised and disciplined, and far better than any raw recruits that could be obtained. The militia is a trump card in the hands of the Go vernment, and. under the existing emergency it should be played without hesitation, and without too nice a calculation as to the cost. The best news that can reasonably be hoped for will not relieve us from the necessity of making every possible effort, for months, or more probably years to come. Long before the Proro gation of Parliament we suggested that powers should be taken to permit Militia Regiments volunteering for the purpose to serve in our own Colonies. The suggestion was then disregarded, but we believe Lord PALMERSTON would now re joice had an act been passed similar to that which was in operation during the late Russian War. "My Lords" should also be stimula+ecl to break through the red-tapist fetters by which ships of war are prevented from being made available as transports. If the Admiralty regulations could ba disregarded, if the reictine could once be broken through, a great saving of expense would be effected, and, what is of far greater impost ante, the service performed in the best possible manner. But from Sir CLIARLES WOOD we ex pect nothing. No matter what may bo.the exi gency, he wall not disencumber himself of a single precedent, however niusty, or overstep in the slightuA degree the beaten path. If anything is t) be done, it must emanate from Lord PALMER, STOAT. He has sufficient energy and power to establish new precalents, and the country Expects that ho will manfully discharge his duty. He is not only the head of the Go vernment and the party justly responsible to the nation, but also the one in whom con fidence is reposed, and who should now prove himself deserving of the disinterested and generous support which ha received from all classes on the occasion of the late appeal to the country. We cannot conclude without referring to a rumour that has been circulated in Paris, but for which we cannot believe that there is the slightest foundation. It is said that " the Eng lish Government is about to op'3n recruiting offices in several of the German Princi palities, as well as in the United States, to raise reinforcements for its army ity India." " The wish may be father to the thought ;" but there is but little prospect of such an attempt being made. It could not be with out the sanction of Parliament, and no minister would dare to bring forward such a proposi- tion. Should he do so, his tenure of office would be but of brief duration. We have had already quite enough of German pets. We should far rather spare some of those already amongst us, than bring more to mono polise the benefits that ought to bo given to true-hearted subjects of Queen VICTORIA. The establishment of the foreign brigades was ono of the greatest mistakes committed during the late war. It disgusted the nation, and the favouritism subsequently exhibited materially enhanced the annoyance so naturally entertained. The United Kingdom can fight its own battles without calling in the aid of beggarly foreign mercenaries, who think that " England is only to be valued for its money," and whose Only desire is to take all they can get and keep grumbling. We will resist the invasion tv English, to s o t he uttermost. B etter ma k e every effort than resort Irish, discreditable a proceeding, while we have and Scotch, ready and willing to Ho* to our standards, and to avenge their butchered brethren and violated sisters. We aid—no e w ant no German hungry claimants on our resources. is but one thing that could reconcile the country t o such a course, and that is, that every German new in the British dominions sho ul d d e p a rt from our shores to engage themselves in the process of re- T 11F. SUN, 1,0 :** DON, cruiting. How cordially would we speed there exports koghud on their journey, and how heartily would we desire that "we might ne'er see their like again." Remember what this difficulty really is that we are now called upon to cope with in Hindostan. The outbreak has been correctly described as a Military Mutiny rather than a General Insur rection. But it is a military mutiny of from 80,000 to 100,000 men altogether. It is the mutiny of a vast army distributed in very nearly one hundred different stations, over a gigantic country a country almost as gigantic geographically us Austria, Prussia, and France united. It has been recently calculated, in a timely brochure by General BRIGGS, that while the territorial possessions of those three great European powers blended together would give a total area of not less than 566,431 square miles, inhabited ' by a population of 87,864,978 in the aggregate —Bengal and the Western Provinces (the actual scene of this Mutiny I) present an area of just 513,016 square miles, inhabited by a population of absolutely as many as 93,188,065 altogether ! So that while we describe the late movement as a Mutiny—rather than an Insurrection— we must remember that it is a Mutiny so enor mous, so sudden, and so disastrous as to be literally, we believe, without any parallel. As to the dimension of the Mutiny, we have already stated it to be in round numbers the simultaneous revolt of very little short of 100,000 fighting men—Sikhs and Ghoorkhas, B.incloos and Mussulmans. Before the movement began, the Native, or otherwise the Sepoy Army of Bengal, comprised within it—Eleven Regiments of Light Cavalry, Four Troops of Horse Artillery, Two Battalions of Foot Artillery, Seventy-four Regi ments of Infantry. Together with Twenty-three Regiments of Irregular Cavalry, Twenty Corps miscellaneous, and Seven Battalions of Sikh Infan try. Added to which were several minor native contingents admirably skilled and disciplined. The signal for the disbandment of this magni ficent force was of an insignificance absolutely ridiculous. It was the casual and spiteful remark of a workman (classic) employed upon the maga• mine at the artiPery station of Dum Dam, near Calcutta. The vaz , bond had been scornfully refused a draught of water—upon the score of caste—by a Sepoy of the Second Native Infantry. Whereupon quoth the artisan to the soldier with a sneer—" You'll soon lose your caste, as you'll have to bite cartridges covered with the fat of pigs and cows <•' The poisonous seed was dropped in that one flippant remark into a rank soil ready for its reception. It was multi plied, and it was sown broadcast over the land— over a'l Bengal and the Western Provinces—over a. region of more than 500,000 square miles, with a population very little short of 100,000,000. It got abroad among the Sepeys of that army of from 80,000 to 100,000 men, that, first of all, the balls of the Enfield rifles (then coming into use), and afterwards the thin glazed cartridges served out with the weapon to those who han dled it, were really, as the malignant classic hod said at Dum Dum, greased with a filthy unguent the mere touching of which would be a contamination to the true believer, to the high caste Hindoo, to the Rajpoots and the Brahmins ! The flames of indignation smouldered on from January (when that incident took place at the ar tillery station near Calcutta) to the 3d of April, when the 19th Native Infantry was disbanded for mutiny at Barrackpore. Another month elapsed :. when on the sth of May another regiment had to be no less summarily disbanded— , this time, the 34th Native Infantry, comprising seven companies—again at Barrackpore. The contagion spread then with frightful rapi dity—with what rapidity we all but too vividly remember. It extended on the 10th of May to the 11th and 20th Native Infantry, and to the 3d Light Cavalry at Meerut. The mutineers marched upon Delhi, and there the whole Sepoy garrison revolted—the 38th, 54th, and 74th Na tive Infantry, and with them the 3d company of the7th battalion of artillery. There and then it was that the most sublime occurrence that has illumined the darkness of this horrible catastrophe in Bengal transpired—when Lieutenant WILLOUGHBY, the Commissary of Ordnance, unable himself to pro tect his charge, fired the magazine of gunpowder with his own hand, thereby blowing up himself, and with himself a crowd of the ruffian rebels, who had hastened there to take posses.sion of it ! From that heroic, but lamentable day, the fate of the Bengal Army was decided. Scarcely 3 months had sped by, before it was scattered to the winds. Regiment after regiment revolted—at Ferozopore, at Peshawur, at Umballah, at Agra, at Lacknow, at B3nares, at Allahabad, at Cawnpore, at Muol tan, at Gwalior, at Bundleound. An army of at least 80,000 had, as such, by the middle of July wholly disappeared. Here and there the mutineers collected together in desperate and formid able bodies having their stronghold from the first at Delhi ! But in Delhi it is believed that since the 12th of May there has never at any time been gathered together within its walls more than 15,000 of those re- , volted soldiers ! The largest force yet hoard of outside the walls bearing the banners of the Mutiny being that under the silk-clad Ruffian Nms - a. SAHIB the great Gentleman Black guard of the Demonstration. Frightful as the outbreak is, therefore, in its character, it presents, after al►, no very appalling difficulties to a really gifted Military Commander—one who is both bold in assault and skilled in strategy. Resolution, promptitude, concen tration—these are the first requisites for the carrying out the grand work of Retribution. Every mutineer found with arms in his hands should die the death. Delhi must, of course, be taken : but when taken, it must at once, as a penalty and as an example, be razed to its foundations. COURT CIRCULAR. BA.LMORA.E, , SEPT G.

Catherine Sinclair, a lady well known in the United States, 'made her first appearance last night as Beatrice, in " Much Ado about Nothing."_ With a commanding figure and a handsome and expressive coun tenance, she has every personal advantage conducive to success in high comedy, wade her manner bespeaks intelligence and refinement. (From the Morning Herald.) A crowded audience assembled at this theatre last night to witness the debut of Mrs. Catherine Sinclair, an American actress of great reputation, in the character of Beatrice, in " Mush Ado about Nothing." Mrs. Sinclair is the daughter of the celebrated English tenor, Sinclair, who many years ago was accounted all but the rival of Braham, and was remarkable for the flexibility of his voice and his beautiful falsetto. Mrs. Sinclair selected for her first essay one of the most difficult and exacting characters in the whole range of t h e Shakesperian dram-i, and, therefore, we have no doubt was not Been or heard to the bast ad vantage. Her talents, nevertheless, were made evident in the first scene. Her conception of the part of Beatrice is distinguished by sound judgment and excel lent taste. Her animal, spirits are very great, and she never loses a chance of making a point. In everything she does she indicates the careful, studious, and con scientious artist. The audience received her with un usual marks of distinction throut ; i. lilt the perform - Ince, and recalled her at the end of the act and the fall of the curtlin. (From the Morning Chronicle.) Mu. Catherine Sinclair has uniaea;,ionably added to the reputation she has already acquired by her per formance of Beatrico last night in " Much Ado About N'uthlng." The points in this part aro so strong, and the character throughout so vigorously and intlligibly marked, that to praise the force and spirit of any actress who could venture to undertake it is altogether super. fluous. What we can praise in Mrs. Sinclair's acting in the part is its perfect delicacy in quality very essen tial to its proper performance, and not always forth coming. Tue mingled shadows of grief, love, and vi vacity in the scene with Benedick after the public in sult offered to her cousin were gracefully and ably ma naged, and the total absence of anything like the ap pearance of study, in this piece a point of more than usual difficulty, was in this instance thoroughly at tained. (Prom the Morning Post.) Last night Mrs. Cather;no Sinclair, once known r.e Mrs. Forrest, wife of the American tragedian, made her debut as " Beatrice," and won ' all the eclat that is im plied in a call to the f)ot-lights during the progress of the play, and a repetition of the compliment on the fall of the curtain, (From the Daily News.) Shakspeare's ever fresh, ever mirth-making comedy, " Much Ado about Nothing," was produced last even ing. Mrs. Catherine Sinclair bids fair to 'obtain a per• manent footing on the metropolitan boards. Her fea tures are marked and expressive, her figure good, and her acting distinguished by considerable vivacity, coupled with an intimate acquaintance with the business of the stage. The impression she made on the audience last evening was decidedly favourable, and at the end of one scene she was recalled and warmly applauded. ADELPHI THEATRE. After fulfilling an extraordinary successful engage ment at tho Haymarket, Mr. T. P. Cooke appeared at this favourite theatre last evening in his favourite part of " William," and was received with an enthusiasm that must have been exceedingly gratifying. He danced his famous double hornpipe with surprising spirit, and sang his sung "Bound 'prentice to a coasting ship," in his usual capital style. With respect to his acting, all we can say is, that he still remains as much "William" as ever, but his fresh career is not to be confined to this single part. The "Pilot" is already announced at the foot of the bills, with Mr. T. P. Cooke as Long Tom Cisffin. The anise ea scene was good. The actors ably supported the great lion. Wright was, as usual, irre sistibly comic, and Paul Bedford gave the song of "Black-eyed Susan" without accompaniment, in a man ner to secure for him the well-merited plaudits of a thoroughly satisfied audience. THE CANTEARIIRY HALL —A Feat r_ ldition is about to bo made to the usual attractions at 6 7 3 justly popular place of entertainment. Picco, the celebrated blind Sr: ninian minstrel, is engaged to exhibit his m< ~relluus performances, and will make his first appearance lure to-morrow (Wednesday) evening• • The Count de Janne has arrived at Claridge ' g Hole% from Thornagtown Castle, Ireland, The Count and Countess Tschertkoff and suite have arrived at the same establiAment from Paris. The Right Rev. Dr. Longley, who was recently trans lated from Ripon to the see of Durham, commenced the primpry visitation of his diocese on Saturday last at Bishop's Auckland, where a large number of the clergy assembled. To-day he will hold a visitation at Berwick upon-Tweed, to-morrow at Alowick, on Thursday at Newcastle-on-Tyne, and on Friday he will conclude his t our at Hexham. We regret to announce the demise of Anna Maria, Nlarchioness Dowager of Ely, who expired at Hampton Court Palate on Sunday last. The deceased Marchioness was the eldest daughter of the late Sir Henry Watkin Dashwood, Baronet, of Kirtlington-park, o.on, and married, in 1810, John, second Marquis of Ely, by whom she had a numerous family. Her ladyship was Maid of Honour to her Majesty Queen Charlotte, and for some years Lady of the Bedchamber to her Majesty Queen Adelaide.' She was born in 1785, and was con sequently in her 73d year. Despatches have been received from M. de Bouzet, Governs•: of New Cale lonia, in which he informs the Government that be was busy with the necesqiry ar rangements for the reception of political prisoners at the Isle of Plnes, _ The Emperor has provisionally suspended the execu tion of a decree that had been prepared establishing free trade in butcher's meat in Paris. A report on the sub ject, addressed to his Majesty by the Prefect of Police, is understood to be the cause of the suspension. The Count and Countess of Walewski have left Paris for Biarritz. Before his departure the Count had several important diplomatic conferences. He will return in time to accompany the Emperor to Stuttgard, and attend the interview with the Emperor Alexander, at which it is said that other crowned heads will be present. The interview itself arises out of invitations from the King of Wurteinbere. Although it has been .aid that the Empress of Russia would go to Stuttgard, this appears uncertain. It is stated that one of the best French artists has been engaged by the Emperor to go tho capital of Wurtem berg, and execute a picture representing the meeting between the two Emperors. ROME AND MIMCO.—The latest intelligence from Rome is highly favourable to the arrangement of the pending difficulty between Mexico and the Holy see. The reports of the state of trade in the manufacturing towns for the past week show an increase of business at Manchester. At Birmingham and elsewhere there has been but little alteration, the transactions in most cases being on a full average scale, at steady price 4„ NAPLES AND THE NN ESTERN POWERS.—A reconcilia- tion between Naples and the Western Powers is spoken of in Paris as highly probable. The question, it is said, will he discussed at the meeting of the Ewperors at Stuttgard. THE GREAT FALL OF NIA GAR t.—The following is an American extract from an album kept at the Niagara Hotel : " Next to the bliss of seeing Sarah, Is that of seeing Niagara." ! REDSCHID P ACHA.—Little doubt appears to be enter tained of the statement circulated yesterday, that Red schid Pacha is dismissed from his post of President of the Tanzimat. It has not yet, however, been positively confirmed. Tim LATE ELECTIONS IN FR2 NCE. —lt has long been considered as certain that General Cavaignac will not take the oath of fidelity necessary to enable him to sit in the Corps Legislatif. As regards MM. Goudchaux and Carnot, their refusal is said to be less sure. The French electors are applying great pressure to induce them to accept the indispensable preliminary. DELHI AND SURROUNDING COUNTRY.—A chrome lithographic engraving of Delhi and the surrounding country has recently been published by Mr. Stanford, the popular map and chart publisher, .of Charing-cross, and cannot fail to be most acceptable as a print, present. ing to view at a glance the very core of the great mutiny in Hindostan. It is drawn by A. Maclure from native and ether original sketches, and gives every evidence of its authenticity. THE NEW COURT OF PROBATL —The act to establish the New Court of Probate has is 'en printed. It extends to 119 clauses and two schedules. The title is "An Act to Amend the Law relating to Probate and Letters of Administration in England." The new law is to come into operation not sooner than the let January next, as her Majesty by order in council shall direct. The testa mentary jurisdiction of the Ecclesiastf cal and other courts is abolished. THE ATTACK ON FORT DIAMANTE. A telegraphic despatch from Genoa mentions that the sentence of the divisional court-martial on the gendarme (a staff sol dier in charge of the buildings of the fort), who was tried for negligence in the affair of the attack on the Diamar is toa the 2fith of June, had been published, and that it condemned the prisoner to eight years' military imprisonment. A private of the Bth Regiment, who had been sentry at the for:: on that occasion, was also tried, but had been aeqUitted by the Court. ROYAL FREEMASONS' GIRLS' SCHOOL.—We perceive from a circular we have received that the excellent trea surer of this institution, Mr. B. B. Cabbell, has invited the children (nearly 70 in number) to accompany him to the Crystal Palace, on Thursday next, when the whole expense will be defrayed by him. The children are to dine at one o'clock, and such of the brethren and their friends who take an interest in the proceedings will meet them. It being the second day of the flower show, there can be no doubt of a numerous attendance. MORALS OF THE VIENNESE.—It appears from the sta tistics published by the Common Council bureau of Vienna that the number of illegitimate births in that city has almost equalled the number of the legitimate births dur ing the four years from 1853 to 1856. The following are the figures on the subject :-1853. Legitimate births, 11,264; illegitimate births, 10,686. 1854. Legitimate births, 11,252 ; illegitimate, 10 801. 1855. Legitimate births, 10,650 ;illegitimate, 9,522. 1856. Legitimate, 10,870 ; illegitimate, 10,311. FRENCH POSTAL STATISTICS ...Since the postal reform in France, the number of letters distributed by the post-office hrs enormously increased. In 1856 it amounted to 251,997,290. The custom of prepaying has also taken a great extension ; in 1849 post-office stamps were sold to the amount of 4,446,766 fr. ; in 1857 to that of 32,699,240 fr. The total receipts of the post office; which in 1840 were 42,034,8501 r., were in 1856 55,831,1301 r. The latter sum exceeded the expenses by 19,494,1301 r. The number of employes of the post-office, including supernumeraries, is about 28,000, 15,713 of them being letter-carriers.—Galisoncsni. In the general business of the port of London during the past week there has been considerable activity. The number of ships reported inward was 260, showing an increase of 50 over the previous week. These included 24 with cargoes of sugar, 43 with grain, &c., and 2 from Shanghai with tea and silk, comprising 16,361 package s of the former and 2,028 bales of the latter. The nrimbcr of vessels clerred outward was 116, including 16 in bal last, showing a decrease of 29. The number of ships on the berth loading for the Australian colonies is 47, being 13 less than at the last account. Of those now loading 5 are for Adelaide, 4 Geelong, 2 Hobart Town, 3 Latin ciston, 4 New Zealand, 14 Port Phillip, 2 Portland Bay, 12 Sydney, and 1 Swan River. SINGAPORE.—The supposed intention of the Governor General of India to levy dues at the port of Singapore caused the Directors of the East India Company to send a despatch, dated the 25th of March, 1857, requesting to be informed without d,-lay whether there was any foundation for that report, intimating at the same time that the Court would deprecate the imposition of any burden on the commerce of the Straits settlement, ex cept under circumstances of argent necessity. The reply of the Governor-General says that such a mea sure was never contsmplated as the imposition of " Customs duties ;" at the same time he admits that the Governor of the Straits, in February, 1856, recom mended the charge of a small port fee for services ren dered, and to pay the expenses of such services in the shape of lights, beacons, jetties, &c,, which " is of course entirely a different question from that of Custom duties," and such a charge is spoken of as reasonable, but after the receipt of the Court's orders the proposal, it is said, will be treated as finally disposed of. Copies of the despatch and the reply were issued yesterday, having been printed by order of the House of Com mem. THE MAILS.—SOUTHAMPTON, Sept. 7.—The Penin sular and Oriental Company's steamship Euxine Capt. J. Weeks, sailed to-day for Vigo, Oporto, Cadiz, and Gibraltar, with the Peninsular mails, a full cargo, and specie value 34,2521. for Cadiz. She also takes out 54 first and 21 second-class passengers, among whom are Mr. Justice Haliburton, Mr. W. S. Lindsay, M.P., and Baroness Luxo, for, Lisbon ; Commodore Brooks (Peninsular and Oriental Company), Captain Sao*, and Dr. Dempsey, for Gibraltar. The Vanguard pach dlowheel steamship, Captain Ward, sailed to-day for Marseilles, to run between that port and Malta with the overland portion of the Australian mails. The steam ship Tamar, belonging to the Royal Mail Company, which has just made such an unprecedented run home from the Brazils, is appointed to leave on Saturday next for Alexandria, with the outward mails for Australia, New Zealand, &c. The Avon with the Brazilian mails, and the Ariel, with the American mails, leave on Wed nesday, the 9th inst. The next homeward mail ships due here are the Tagus, from the Peninsular ports, on the 14th ; the Atrato, from the West Indies, on the 16th ; the North Star, from New York, on the 17th • and the Colombo, from Alex an d r i a, w i t h t h e I n di a an d China mail, on the 20th. GENERAL HAVELOCK.—It may not be generally known that this gallant officer, whose name has become one of the most familiar to British ears among the most splen did instances of courage and devotion which are now signalising our arms in the East, is a native of the banks of the Wear, and a member cf a Sunderland family. His father, William Havelock, E-q., was a well-known shipowner and coalfitter, residing at Ford Hall, the present residence of W. Hay, E-q., where the family, since 80 distinguished vs soldiers, were born. Another brother, Colonel William Fla,velook, well known in all the Peninsular and Oriental campaigns as one of the most dashing cavalry officers in the service, fell at the head of the 14th Light Dragoons in one of the bloody engagements of the Sutlsj. The present representative and subject of our notice, after passing through a long and distinguished apprenticeship to arms in the great conflicts of north-west• rn India, especially in the campaigns of Sir Chalice Napier, holds at present the post of adjutant-general of the Bengal presidency, 4 rank likely to be changed, if Providence reserve him for the completion of the great work which he had so energetically began, for the highest the service can afford. There are not wanting anecdotes 'among those who remember the residence and early life of this hero of the courage and daring which fore shadowed the man in the boy, and wo may crrnestly hope that it will yet he our pleasure to reeard in his future career of retributive valour exploits and honours which will vlike reflect distinction on the soldier and do honour to the town which claims his birth.--Sunderland Herald. LATEST NEWS: MILAN, SEPT. 7. Yesterday, at 4 o'clock in the afternoon, the solemn entry of the Archduke Maximilian and the Archduchess Charlotte took place. Their Imperial Highnesses were received by Count Sebregondi, the Mayor of Milan. The crowds of people were immense, and the reception the most enthusiastic. MORE GERMAN RECRUITS ! It is reported in Paris that the English Govern ment is about to open recruiting offices in several of the German Principalities, as well as in the United States, to raise reinforcements for its army in India. FRANCE. PARIS, MONDAY EVENING. The Moniteur publishes a decree of promulgat ing tho convention concluded on the 2d July last between France and the Grand Duchy of Baden, for the reciprocal guarantee of the rights of indus trial property. . . The Siecle contains some observations on the treaty of commerce lately signed between Russia and France, and expresses its apprehension that v'hile the terms of the convention appear to establish the principle of perfect reciprocitybetween the two countries, a marked disadvantage will re main on the side of French traders from the less liberal character' of the police regulations existing in Russia.. The objections of our contemporary to the treaty will be found in the following extract : " The treaty, if executed with good faith on the part of Russia, is certainly calculated to create a real commercial connection. It enacts that there shall he reciprocally full and entire liberty of commerce aad navigation for the vessels and subjects of the high contracting parties in all ,the ports of their respective dominions in which navigation is at present, or may hereafter be permitted to the vessels of any foreign nation. The French in Russia and the Russians in France, may reciprocally enter, travel, or-sojourn at full liberty in any part whatsoever of the respective territories, to attend to their affairs, and they are to enjoy for their persons and property the same protection and security as the natives ; they are to have the power in towns and ports of hiring or possess ing such houses, warehouses, shops, and land as they may require, without being subjected to taxes, general or local, or obligations of any nature, different from those which are or may be imposed on natives. IL the same manner they are to enjoy in commercial and manufacturing matters all th€+ privileges, immuni ties, and other favours enjoyed by natives. This certainly is perfect reciprocity in appearance, but we fear from the state of civilisation and of the police in Russia that it will not secure to the French who establish themselves in that country any very great security. The convention promises them the same treatment as Russian subjects in Russia. But how is the Russian commercial class treated, and what are its privileges? If we are to believe writers on Russia, the law is not favourable to them always. Now it is said by the clauses which we have summed up that these sti pulations are not to affect in any respect the laws, ordi nances, and special regulations in force with respect to commerce, manufactures, and police. But Russian re gulations, according to the avowal of everybody, are ex tremely severe. French regulations, on the contrary, give absolute security to the trader and navigator. All the advantage is therefore on the side of the Russians, and we could have wished that instead of the simple clause of reciprocity inserted in the treaty, it had been formally stipulated that the French should enjoy, not the same treatment as the Russians in Russia, but the same treatment as the Russians in France."

The Northern Bee of St. Petersburg denies the truth of the rumour which for some time past has been in circulation, of the active co-operation of Russiain the projects ascribed to the western powers with regard to China. This journal explains, by the necessity of the service, and by the usage of maintaining a permanent station in the northern part of the Pacific Ocean, the movements of the Russian navy which gave rise to the rumour of an understanding between Russia and the Western Powers on the Chinese question." A St. Petersburg letter says :—" The Cabinet of Copenhagen has sent to the Russiz n Govern ment a note, in which it sets forth the posi tion it has taken in the Holstein question with regard to Austria and Prussia. According to this note, no fresh' concessions from Denmark are to be hoped for ; it says, in fact, that after the propositions presented to the Chambers of Holstein, no new ones will be made. The Cabinets of Vienna and Berlin appear to increase their pretensions in proportion to the concessions of Denmark. The Russian Government shares completely in the views of the Cabinet of Copenhagen, and Prince Gurtschakoff has made that fact known to the Courts interested. It is even possible that, in case Denmark were inclined to make concessions calcu lated to effect the unity of the monarchy, Russia would, in order to guarantee her eventual rights to Denmark, protest against such a course." A letter from Sr. Petersburg of the 27th states that in the last accounts from Odessa loud com plaints are made about the suppression of the place as a free port, and which measure it is feared will be its ruin. The customs tariff which is now ap p'ied to Odessa is not heavy, but it is nevertheless very different from what it was before. The in habitants of Odessa are also in great alarm, fearing that the railways which aro about to be constructed, and none of which come near that port, will draw away from it the commerce of the southern pro vinces, and they have therefore got up a petition to the Emperor praying that a line of railway may be constructed to their pert to connect it with the great net-work about to be formed. SPAIN. The Madrid journals of the 3d have arrived. Rumours of the retirement of some ministers and of M. Mon and the Marquis del Duerro (Concha) being called to the cabinet wore current; bugas rut , ual they are stated by the ministerial journals to be un founded. The junta on the tariffs was about to occupy itself anew on the cotton question. In ad dition to the visits of the Queen to churches which have already been mentioned, her Majesty, the King, and the Princess of Asturias had been to gether to the church of San Cayetano, and had prayed most devoutly ' - iefore the images of San Ramon and our Lady del Transito, whose in tercessions are supposed to be peculiarly effi cacious on behalf of pregnant women ; the Queen and King even remained some time pro strated before the latter image. The Queen had given 20,003 reals to the clergy of the parishes of San Cayetano and San Andres for the relief of the poor. M. Alrarez, private secretary to the Queen, had expressed a wish to be allowed to continue his duties without receiving any salary, and her Majesty had consented. A band of brigands in Malaga had carried off the son of a wealthy inhabitant, and had demanded 5,000 piastres for his ransom. Cases of this kind have of late been so numerous in that province that the government was about to take special measures for preventing a repetition of them. Accounts from Melilla of the 25th ult., state that on the 13th and 14th the Moors had renewed their attacks on the town, but that the Spaniards had di s p erse d them ' with artillery, killing four of their men and wound- 1 ing several others. A letter from Bulgaria, in the Cologne Gazette, states that the Prussian and Turkish members of the European Commission assembled at Galatz have left for Widdin, in order to make surveys and plans on which will he based the project for re gularising the course Of the Danube. The Prussian Commissioner has expressed his opinion that the works for preventing the river from undermining the fortifications of Widdin may Le accomplished at a very trilling expense. It is in contemplation to convert Widdin into a fortified place of the first rank, on a plan proposed by Omar Paella in 1853. In the meantime the fortress will serve as a place of detention for political prisoners of the Asiatic provinces. A number of them have lately escaped, but all those belonging to the Kurd race have been retaken. The Austrian Correspondence, under da!a of Constantinople, 29th ult., states that the Shah of Persia has proclaimed complete equality among hi s subjects, and that Mahometans, Christians, a n d Jews are all now eligible to fill public functions. It appears that the delay granted b y t h e Federal Council of Berne to the cantonal courted of Vaud, for the execution of the various formalities required for executing the Oron Railway, is not to extend - - - to the 15th Oct., as at first stated, but to the 15th Sept. This latter date is that which is given in letter ;3 received from flerne, A letter from Stuttgard states that during the last fortnight workmen have been engaged in re pairing and embellishing the apartments of the palace which are to be occupied by the Emperors Alexander and Napoleon. erors The Emperor of Austria, after his return from Hungary, fixed for Saturday last, intends, says `'` letter from Vienna, to go to .lschl with the Empres s for the rest of the season ; and his Majesty subsequently pass a few days at Berlin, to r eturn the visit paid him not long since by the King °f Prussia. • The journals of the Hague stale there is no truth in the report which has been current that the King, of the Netherlands is about to cede the G ran°. Duchy of Luxembourg to Prussia. The 18th anniversary of the birth of the Prince i of Orange was celebrated with a certain degre e °£ pomp at the Hague on the 4th. THE SPANISH-MEXICAN QUARREL. We are at last beginniyig to get at the truth re specting the Spanish-Meyican quarrel, concerning which so many contradictory statements hove bee n made by the Madrid papers and other foreign ournals. The real state of the case may , , ketched in few words. The great difficulty," - main point of variance between Sei2or do Lafrag lo ! the Mexican Plenipotentiary, and Se nor Pidal, the Spanish Minister for Foreign Affairs, was th e ; i . i d tv s demnity claimed by the latter for We r resident in Mexico who had suffered iit property at the hands of depredators anc2 assa ss „ l at Cuernavaca and elsewhere. The Mexieto neF tiator was willing to agree to such indemnitY) 1 , 111 conformity with the laws of nations ; that is to 83 .1 when it should be proved that his Governnne,ll could b© held responsible for the misdeeds Of th e person .0 0 armed bands in question. The Spanish Minisll was not content with this, but required that 1 should be at once conceded that au iedemnity w . 38 due. Neither party' being disposed to give wag? agreement was manifestly impossible. It was then that Lord Howden, acting in accordance with M. d e Turgot, strongly urged the Spanish Government accept the friendly intervention of England and France for the settlement of the disput e ' After some hesitation Spain agreed to this' on or about July 21. Senora de Lafrage e a l, not having authority from his Gover norll : tl accept such mediation, communicated wi t .; Mexico by the next mail, and by this t:me despatches are donbtless in the hands of Pres ide % Comonfort. Ili will be the end of October b efnr o the reply can be received. in the meantime ter matter is in abeyance. Spain has suspended Io warlike preparations, and although runl oll , of probable hostilities have lately reached us frni c r Madrid, these must be considered as unfound e c P o since, after accepting the good offices of Fr°,_litif and England, she will naturally wait to hen whether Mexico does the same.
