We may now 1)ok for fresh telegraphic accounts from India, at almost any hour. There arc many points of the deepest intere; t and almost of vital importance on which information is anxiously anti cipated by the nation. The proceedings of General HAVEL^CK and his gallant troops are, perhaps, of the'greatest moment. At the last dates, after the re-occupation of Cawnpore, he ins pursuing the miscreant NENA SAHIB and his bloodthirsty gang to their stronghold at Bithoor. 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 advantage of any combination of circumstances that might arise. Cawnpore might again fall into the handi of the rebels, and Colonel NEILE, and the party of nearly 300 British soldiers advancing t) effect a junction withFlAvELocK, would probably be cut oft' to a man. These are considerations of no ordi nary magnitude s 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 can certaed, be almost tantamount to a defeat. In order to avert a calamity of the most fearful cha racter, the work must not only be thoroughly . , but 'speedily accomplished. 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 rebels. Better perhap3 that they should die with arms in their hands, and boldly fighting, than be treacherously butchered after a capitulation, as were the ill-fated soldiers and refugees at Cavrupore. Lucknow was but some 50 or 60 miles from the position of Have lock, but great difficulties impeded hi s a d vanc© and the time might well pass away a i b epfloarcee h t e he coul d lead his troops to the rescuA, n be leaguered garrison in a situation of o,,,plrative 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. Sevc ral thousands of our countrymen and country women were dependent on the shelter it afforded, and the protection of its gallant garrison. The •' daring attack which they made on t'le rebels, Although partially unsuccessful, through a serie s of casualties, probably prevented a regular assault -which might have terminated fatally for all the - "E ‘u g li s h party—non-combatants as well as coin -batantg. But we know not whether the original intention of the mutiukrs may again be acted on, or what may be the results thereof. We can ocarcely anticipate that Delhi has as yet been captured, and the insurrection crushed at its very fountain and origin. Our scanty army could scarcely do more than maintain their position before its walls until the arrival of ade quate reinforcements, which could scarcely have arrived in sufficient force, to warrant a general assault 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 heads 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 otherstations. But more will be required, if merely to keep up the forces in India at their present strength, and c3unter 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 sex vice 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 dom, 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 wero 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 X s. D. placed in abeyance, in. order to meet suitably the imperative demandi on our resources. We can bear the expense, and it must not be spared in such a cause. We are, it appears, recruiting actively. Sacond battalions are to be aided 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 aro under orders , for India. It is is the latter case that of the militia—that the proceeding seems to be altogether inadequate. Why restrict the number to fifteen regiments, or 15,090 bayonets It would be well to call out every regiment, .and thus provide the beat 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 that 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 roc,ruits -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 cm reasonably be hoped for will net relieve us from the necessity of making every possible eff)rt, for months, or more probably years to come. Long before the Proro g.tion of Parliament we suggested that powers should be taken to permit Mditia Regiments volunteering for the purpose to serve in our own Colonies. The suggestion was then disregarded, but we believe Lord PALmens.rox 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 stimuleed 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 be disregarded, if the routine could once be broken through, a great saving of expense would be effected, and, what is of far greater impoit ante, tlie service performed ior the best possible manner. But from Sir - CA . 114 5 ., WOOD we ex pect nothing. No matter 'what may be the exi- gency, he will not disencumber himself of a single precedent, however musty, or overstep in the slightest degree the beaten path. If anything is t) be done, it must emanate from Lord PALMER. STON. He has sufficient energy and power to establish new precedents,. and the country expectS that he 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 or which wa cannot believe that there is the slightest foundation. It is said that " the Eng lish Government is about to open recruiting offices in . several of the German Princi palities; as well- as in the United States, to raise reinforcements for its army in 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 offim would be but of brief duration. We have had already quite enough of German pots. We should far rather spare some of those already amongst us, than bring more to mono polise the benefits that ought to be given to true-hearted subjects of Queen VICTORIA. The establishment of the foreign brigades was one of the greatest mistakes committed during the late war. It disgusted the nation, and the favouritism subSequently materially enhanced the annoyance so naturally entertained. The United Kingdom can fight its own battles without calling in the aid of begga r ly foreign mercenaries, who think that f o England is , only to b e va l ue d for its money," and whose only de s i re is to take all they can get and keep grumbli ng . W e will resist the invasion to the uttermost. Bettcr make every effort than resort to so ditereditabl e a procee di ng, while we have English, Irish, and Scotch, rea d y an d w illi ng to flock to our stand ardß, and to avenge their butchered brethren and violat e d s i sters. W© want no German aid — n , ],angry claimants on our resources. There is but • one thing that could reconcile the country to such a course, and that is, that every Germa n now in the British dominions eiould depart from our shores to engage themselves in the process of re crafting. How cordially would we speed these exports from England 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 as 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 !) 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 t b 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, Hindoos 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, Tiff) 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 ridibulous. It was the casual and spiteful remark of, a workman (classic) employed upon the maga zine at the artillery station of Dam Datu, near Calcutta. The vagabond ' had been sc)rnfully refused a_ draught of water —upon the :core of caste—by a Sepoy of the Second Native Infantry. Whereupon quoth the artisan to the sollier with a sneer—" You'll soon lose your case, as you'd 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 all 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 Sepoys 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 had said at Dam Dum, greased with a filthy unguent the mere touching of which would be a contamination to the true believer, t.) the high caste Hiudoo, to the Rajpoots and the Brahmins ! The times of indignation smouldered on fro:n January (when that incilent took place at the ar tillery station near Calcutta) to the 31 of April,. when the 19 r,h Native Infintry was disband° I f mutiny at Bxrraelcp - ore. Another month elapsed : when ou the sth -of May another regiment had to be no less summarily disbanded— this time, the 34th Native lufantry, 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 26th Native lef intry, and to the Sd Light Cavalry at Meerut. The mutineers marched upon Thlhi, and there the whole Sepoy garrison revolted—the 38th, 54th, and 74th NA give Infantry, and with them the 31 company of the 7th 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 gunpowd3r with his own hand; thereby blowing up himself, and with himself a crowd of th 3 ruin la rebel, who had hastened there to take possession 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 Faroz2p ire, at Peshawar, at Utnballah, at Agra, at Lucknew, at Benares, at Allahabad, at Cawnpore, at Mool ,tan, at Gwalior, at Bundlecund. 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 these re- l volted soldiers ! The largest force yet heard of outside the walls bearing the banners of the Mutiny being that under the silk-dad Rufll to NENA. SAHIB the great Gentleman Black guard of the Demonstration. Frightful as the outbreak is , , therefore, in its character, it presents, after all, 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. I COURT CIRCULAR. BALHORA.L , SEPT 6.

(From. the Tinges. ) Mrs. 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 fignre and a handsome and expressive czinn tertoce, she has every personal advantage conducive to success in high comedy, vq3ile her rummer bespeaks -int,lligence- and refinement. (From the Morning Herald.) • A crowded audience assembled at this theatre last night to witness the debut of sirs. Catherine Sinclair, an American actress of great reputation, in the character of Beatrice, in "Much Ado about Nothing." Al's. Sinclair i 4 the daughter of the celebrated English tenor, Sinclair, who many years ago was accounted all but the rival of Brahatn, and was remarkabii fur the flexibility of his voice and his beautiful falsetto. Mrs. Sinclair selected for her first essay one of VII most diffi?.ult and exacting characters in the whole range of the Shaltesperiin drama, and, therefore, we have no doubt was not seen or heard to the best ad• vantage. Her talents, nevertheless, were made evidt nt in the first scene. Her conception of the part of Beatrice is distinguished by sound judgment and 'noel lent taste. Her animal spirits are very great, and she never loses a chance of malting a point. In everything she does she indicates tie careful, studious, and con scientious artist. The audience received her with un usual marks of distinction throughout the performance, and recalled her at the end of the third act and tbe fall of the curtain. (From the Morning Chronicle.) Aire. Catherine Sinclair has unqu4stionably addel to the reputation she has already acquired by her per foirnance of Beatrice last night iu " Much 4.d0 About N, thing." The points in this part are so string, and the character throughout so vigorously and intz-Ligibly . marked, that to prai6e the force and spiritof any .actress who could venture to. undertake it is altogether super. thous. What we can praise in Mrs. Sinclair's acting in the part is its perfect delicacy in quality very essen tial to its proper perf:iinanca, and n.it always forth coming. Tne mingled shadows of grief, love, ani vi vacity in the scene with Benedick after the public in sult off,red t 3 her cousin were gracefully and ably ma naged, and the total a'aence of anything Ilke the pearauce of study, in this piece a point of more than usual difficulty, was in this instance thoroughly at tained. (Prom the Morniag Post.) Last night Mrs. Catherine Sinclair, once known as Mrs. Forted% wife of the American tragedian, made her cLbut ai " and won. all the cc/It that is im plied in a call- t) the f)6t-lights during the progress of the pl-iy,--and , wrepetition of..the compliment ou the fall of the curtain: . ' (Firontthe Daily Neivs.) Shakspeare's ever fresh, ever mirth-making comedy, " Much Ado about Nothing," was produced last even ing. Mrs. Catherine Sinc!air 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 decided:y favour ible, anti at the end of ono scene she was recalbd and warmly applauded. ADELPHI THEATRE. After fu' filling an extraordinary successful engage , rnent at the Elayinarket, 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 he song "Bound 'prentice to a coasting ship," in his usual capital style. With respect to his acting, all we can Fay is, that ho stilt remains as much "William" as ever, but his fresh c►reer is not to be confined to this siegle part. The "Pilot" is already announced at the foot of the bills, with Mr. T. P. Cooke as Long Toni Coffin. The mise en scene was good. The actors ally supportei the great lion. Wright Alt., as usual, irre sistibly comic, and Paul Bedford gave the son; of "Black-eyed Strain" with Yet accompaniment, in a man ner to secure fur him the well-aieritecl plaudits of a thoroughly satisfied audience.

The Count and Countess Tschertkoff and suite have arrived at the same establishment from Paris. , The Right Rev. Dr. Longley, who was recently trans lated from Ripon to the see of Durham, commenced the primary 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 Fr:day he will conclude his our at Hexham. We regret to announce the demise of Anna Maria, Marchioness Dowager of Ely, who expired at Hampton Court Palace on Sunday last. The dec3ased Marchioness was the eldest daughter of the late Sir Henry Watkin Dashwood, Baronet, of Kirtlington-park, 0 Son, 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 wit; born in 1785, and was con sequently in her 731 year. Despatches have been received from K de Bount, Governor of New Caledonia, in which he informs the Government that he was busy with the necessary ar rangements for the reception of political prisoners at the Isle of Pines. The Emperor bas :provisionally suspended the execu tion of a decree that had been preparecrestablishing free trade in butcher's meat in Paris. A report on the sub ject, addressed to his Majesty by the Peered of Police, is . understood to be the cause of the suspension. The Count and Countess of Wale*ski have left Paris f)r Biarritz. Before his departure the Count had several important diplomatic conferences. He will return in time to acaompany the Eliperer to Stuttgard, and attend the interview with the Emperor Alexandtr, at which it is said that other crowned heads will be present. The interview itself arises out of invitations from the King of Wurtemberg.. Although it has been said that the Empress of Russia would go to Siuttgard, this 'appears uncertain. It is stated that one of the best French artists has been engaged by the Emperor toga the capital of Wurtemberg, and execute a picture representing the neeeting, between the two Emperors. ROME AND MEXICO.—The latest intelligence from Rome is highly favourable to the arrangement of the pending difficulty between Mexico and the iloty see. Tne 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.. NAPLES AND THE WESTERN POWERS.—A reconcilia tion between Naples and the Western Powers is spoken of in Paris as highly probabra. The question, it is said, will' be discussed at the meeting of the Emperors at Stuttgard. TIIIS GREAT FALL OF NIA GARA.—The followinr , 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 PACHA.—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. THE LATE ELECTIONS IN FRANCE.It 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. Goudehaux , and Cernot, their refusal i$ 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 acceptal le 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 aed other original sketches, and gives every evidence e f its authenticity. " THE NEW CounT OF PROBATE. —The act to establieb the New Court of Probate has been printed. It extends to 119 clauses and two schedules. The tile 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 Januaty next - , as her Majesty by order in council shall direct.- The testa mentary jurisdiction of the Ecclesiastical and other court: is abolished. THE ATTACK ON FORT DIAMANTE.— A telegraphic despatch from Genoa mentions that the sentence of the divisiotal 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 D.ama t _Leo t oil the 29 hof June,:had been published, and that it condemned the prisoner to eight years'. mill ary imprisonment. A private of the Bth Regiment, who had been sentry at the fort on that occasion, was also tried, but had been aequitted by the Court. -ROYAL FREEMASONS' GIRLS' SCHOOL—We perceive from a eircu'ar we have received that' the exeellent trea surer of this institution, Mr. B. B. Cabbell, has invited the children (nearly 70 in number) to ace impany him to the Crystal Palace, on Thursday next, when the whole expense he 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 procreclings will inset them. It being the seconfl 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 Coancil bureau of Vienna that the number of i'legtimate birthS in that city has almost equalled the number of t legitiwate births dur ing the four years from 1853 to 1356. The following are the figures on the subject :-1853. Legitimate births, 11,264 ; i legitimate births, 10,6186. 1854. Legitimate births, 11,252; illegitimate, 10 801. 1855.• Legitimate births, 10,650 ; illegitimate, 9,522. 1856. Legitimate, 10.870 ; il!egitimate, 10,311. FRENCH POSTAL STATISTICS ...Since the postal reform in France, the number of letters distributed by the post--ffice has enormously increased. Ia 1355 1:; 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!r ; in 1857 to that of 32,699,240 tr. The total receipts of the p est office, which in 1849 were 42,034,8501 r., were in 1856 55,831,1301 r. The latter sum exeeeded the expenses by 19,494,130 fr. The number of c•reployes of the,p )sa-office, including supernumeraries, is about 28,000, 15,713 of them being letter-carriers.—Gctlignani. In the general business of the port of London during the past week there has been considerable activity. Tee number of ships reported inward was 260, showing an increase of 50 over the previous week. These incledid 24 with cargo° i of sugar, 43 with grain, &a., and 2 from Shanghai with tea and silk, comprising 16,361 packages of the former and 2,028 bales of the latter. The number of vessels cleared outward was 116, irecludiog 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 6 are for Adelaide, 4 Geelong, 2 Hobart Town, 3 Leun ceston, 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 pert 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 - wan 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 eettlemant, ex cept under circumstances of urgent necessity. The reply of the Governor-General says that such a mea sure was never contemplated as the imposition of " Customs duties ;" at the same time he admits that the Gavernor 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, ja.ties, toa., 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 finely disposed of. Copies of the despatch and the reply were issued yesterday, having been printed by order of the House of Com mon:. THE MAILS.—SOUTHAMPTON ; Sept. 7.—The Penin sular and Oriental Company's steamship Euxhae, Cept. J.

GENERAL HAVELOCK. —lt may not be geeerally 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,. arid a member of a Sunderland His father, William Havel ick, Edn, was a well-known shipowner and coa!fitter, residing At Ford Hall, the present residence of W.

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 we may earnestly hope that it will yet be our pleasure to record in his future career of retributive valour exploits and honours which will alike reflect distiectioa on the soldier and do honour to the town which claims his birth.—Sandcriand Herald, 5_7 T E srr N MILAN, SEPT. 'T. Yesterday, at 4 o'clock in the afternoon, the solemn entry of the" Archduke Maximilian and the Archduchess Charlotte took place.

It is repotted 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 Monitettr publishes a decree of promulgat ing the 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 - Sled e . contains some observations on the treaty of commerce lately signed between Russia and France, and expresses its apprehension that while 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, it executed with good faith on the part of Russia, is certainly calculated to create a real commercial connection. It enacts that there shah be reciprocally full and entire liberty of commerce and 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. Ir. the same manner they are to enjoy in commercial and manufacturing matters all the 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 wili not secure to the French who establ sh thegie,elves in that country any very great security. The convention promises them ille.sareo 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 en 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 regulation's 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 silo 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 , SPANISEI-MEXICAN QUARREL: We are at last beginning to get at the truth re spec- ing the Spanish-Mexican quarrel, concernig which so many contradictory statements heve heq made by the Madrid papers and other foreign journals. The real state of the case , may b e sketched in few words. The great difficulty, tie main point of variance between Senor do Lafraga a ° . the Mexican Plenipotentiary, and S enor Pidal, the Spanish Minister for Foreign Affairs, was the 11 ',: demnity claimed by the latter for the Spaniard resident in Mexico who had suffered in person,.a_ r , property at the hands of depredatOrs a n d assegai at Cuernavaca and elsewhere. The Mexican negf tiator was willing to agree to such indemnity, conformity with the laws of nations ; that is to WI when it Should be proved that his Governul could be held responsible for the misdeeds of w e armed bands in question. The Sp an i s h Minitite,, was not content with this, but required that?: should be at once conceded that an ind e mnity 144 ' due. Neither party being disposed to give gli' agreement was manifestly impossible. It was thee that Lord Howden, acting in:accordance with M. Turgot, strongly urged the Spanish.

The' Noithern Bee of St. Petersburg denies the truth of the rumour which for some, time past has been in circulation, of the active cooperation 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 not part of the Pacific Ocean, the -movements of the Russian navy which 'gave rase to the rumour of an understanding bawteu Rossi t and the Western Power 3 on the Chine , e qu?stion." A St. Petersburg letter says :—" The Cabinet of Copenhagen has sent to the Rusin Govern ment a note, in which it se a forth the posi tion it ' has taken in the Holstein questiorn with regard to Austria • and: Piussia. According to this note, no fresh concessions from Denmaik are to be hoped for ; it says, in fact, that after ihe 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 proportlon to the concessions 'of Dmmark. The Russian Government shares completely in the views of the Cabinet of Copenhagen, and Prince GOrtschakoff 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 Si. Petersburg of the 27th states that in the last accoun's from Odes a 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 . pied 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 are 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 ly , rt to connect it with the great net-work about to be formed. SPAIN. The Madrid journals of the 3d have arrived. Rumours otthe retirement of some ministers and of M. Mon and the Marquis del Duerro (Concha) being called to the cabinet were current; but'as usual they a-c stated by the ministerial journals to Le un fouudtd. The, jnnta 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 ta gether to the church of San Cayetano, and bad prayed most devoutly before the - images of San Ramon and our Lady del Transi - o, whose in tercessions are supposed to be peculiarly etli _melons on behalfof pregnant women ; the Queen and King even remained some time pro strated before the latter image. The Queen had given 20,000 reels - to the clergy of the parishes of San Cayetano and San Andres for the relief of the poor. M. Alvarez, private secretary to the Queen, had expressed a w sh to be allowed to continue his duties without receiving any salary, and her Majesty had consente '.

Cases of this kind have of late lx:en Eo 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 dispel. , ed them with artillery, killing four of their men and wound ing several others. A letter from Bulgaria, in the Cologne Gazette, states that th 3 Prussian and Turkish members of the European Commission assembled at Galatz have left for Widdin, make — surveys plans on which will ba based tie 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 fortific a tions of `Widdin may to accomplished at a very trifling expense. It is in contemplation to convert Widdin into a fortified place of the first rank, on a plan proposed by Omar Pacha iu 1853. In the meantime the fortress will serve as a place of detention for political prisoners of the Asiatic provinces.
