•We have received advice, front Hong• Kong of June
and Shanghai June 16. The following is from the
summary of the firerland China Mu,l:
" Lord Elgin and Heron tine, with their respective
suites, have arrived. We believe the Envoys will pro-
ceed to the north immediately, the state of matters at
Shanghai rendering their presence there absolutely
nocesaary.
" Ashniral Hope left for Shanghai on the 9th instant,
where he arrived on the 16th. Sir Hope Grant also
left on the llth for the north. All the truoga have also
left, prineipilly daring the early part of the fortnight.

From Chosen we learn that the troops there bad pro-
ceeded to the rendezvous at Trlienwan, about two
hundred miles from Taku.
" It is e tremely doubtful if the complicated state of
affairs at Slistighni, coupled with ~ur nualerate demands,
may not induce the Court of l'ekin to try and prevent
hostilities. The Foils ror would thus have • large force
at his dispo,ed to send against the rebels.
The rebels have been carrying everything before
them. ti.sseliow has fallen into their bands, after an
immense loss of his and valuable property- The
Governor and several other officials had been killed."

STURMINSTER NEWTON.

SERIOUS ACCIDENT. —On Thundly,as Mr. Chew-
wright, surgeon, of this place, was driving with a
lady through the village of Hinton St. Mary, a
drove of pigs on their way to market suddenly runn-
isg in front of the horn wood it to swerve round,

bringing the rchfcle hi contact with the bind: with
considerable force, wi that both the occupants were
thrown violently out ; rhetsewright was not
much injured, but his companion sustained a dish).
catioit the ancle joint, together with severe lacera-
tion and brniaiss. A carriage was /WM procured
from Ifinton Manor House (Mr. Harvey'el, in which
the lady returnod to SAiiirininster, and is, we are
happy to hear, doing well.
The Sturminster Temperance :Nocietv and Rand of
Hope held their annual festival on Thursday, at
which there was a very large gathering. From
200 to 304) children of both sexes were formed in
procession, and with a number of adult friends ef
the temperance reformation, paraded the principal
streets of the town, to the strains of an excellent,
though juvenile, fife and drum band, and accom-
panied by banners, one of a very splendid character,
; several large ones, and a multitudinous number bear-
ing appropriate mottoes. The children were after-
wards regaled with a bounteous supply of tea and
plum cake, in the playground of the National school
—the rain which had fallen so copiously the night
before having rendered the field previously selected
unavailable for the purpose. At live o'clock there
was a public tea served up within the school-room,
and that spacious apartment was more than tilled, a
second party of applicants having to be accommo-
I dated aft,r regaling the first detachment. Between
six and seven a public meeting commenced, which
was addressed in most earliest and eloLuent speeches
by Mr. Norton, of Shaftesbury ; the Rev. Mr.
Warner, of Sturminster ; Mr. Wattridge, of South-
ampton ; and, lastly, in some very telling details of
teetotal experience, by a hardworking ntan of the
name of Penney, formerly of Sturminster, but now
of Numwy, Somerset, and who rejoices in twenty
years' fn.:carom from the thraldom of the intozi-
citing cup. The attendance was most crowded,many
persons being unable obtain admission.

Tar REMIEE Or !HEW:D.—The total sum (we
learn from a Parliamentary paper) paid into the Ex-
Cheilller a. the net produce of Ireland in the year ended
the 3l*t December, MI9, was 1:6,711,833. The customs
produced 1:2,304,578; the excise, 1.1,109,1100 ; stamp.,
; property and income tax, 1:4704,105 ; small
branches of the lierdditary revenue, L'2,521); miseella•
'wows, including repayment of advances, Ett4,648.
A circular letter from the Right Rev. Dr. Cullen was
read on Wednesday (the feast of the Assumption) in all $
the Roman catholic churches of Dublin, culling upon ,
the faithful to adept every means in their power to pre-
vent • recurrence of the disgraceful and revolting scenes ,
for which the fair of Donnybrook (held in August)
became so renowned.
THE Iteettrivs.—On the oecasion of the
return of a body of these ragged and hungry men to '
Ireland a Cork paper says :- "If present appearances
are not very deceptive, the brigade that was to achieve
so much glory in Italian soil will 101011 be little else than
a name. For the last few weeks numbers of those who
went from this country to Rome have been hastening ,
Iswk awl giving such account* of the treatment they
received a. eatisfactorily explain the xubsidence of their
zeal for the service of the lily Father. Some who
went from this city, it has been already mentioned,
have returned, but more have since e corroborate
the etatements of the horrore endured by the recruits.
Yesterday no fewer than thirty-six arrived here. Worn,
pallid, and miserable, their appearance left 110 necessity
For tongue to tell of the hardships they went through
since, a few short months ago, they embarked at our
quays in the certainty f finding glory and good pay
on the banks of the Tiber. Their description mf what
they endured is just the same as that which has already
been given by those who preceded them. The hardest
of marches, the vilest of bulging, and the worst of food,
and even of that same only just as much SIN kept thew
from actual starvation. A letter from Rome says :
St. l'atrick'e battalion has again been troublesome at
Spoleto, 1 dark hints have been thrown out that the
battalion will be broken up, and the soldiers dispersed
through other foreign regiments in consequence."

PORTLAND.

ATTEMPT AT DROWEING.--On Wednesday week,
three men belonging to H.M.S. Colossus attempted

fractory afterwards that he had to be put in
irons.
OLD FRIENDB.—A broach lodge, in connection

Tea WRATH= IN Till NOZTH.—The weather in
the north of Scotland still continues very stormy,
indeed so severe a season has not been experienced
sines DM On Friday and Saturday week the frost
gave way to a considerable extent, and in the town—
Aberdeen, for instance, the snow rapidly disappeared,
while the fresh loosing the ice in the rivers the salmon
fishers prepared to begin work in earnest. Sunday
morning however, brought • sudden change to storm
again. A large quantity of snow, accompanied by a
heavy gale of wind, fell on Sunday, and since then the
frost has eontinned with much severity. From the
rivers having been next to closed with ice BUM!, the
opening day of the fishings (the tat of February), com-
paratively few salmon have been obtained. The appear-
ance of the fish, however, is excellent, and the fishers
are in hope of a successful season.

Ras. LOUDON'S Corris.—A chie has at length been
obtained to them ysterious affair at Carlisle. A young
woman, calling herself Mrs. Loundon, took lodgings at
Greenock, having with her a female child, which died on
the following morning. The body was inclosed in a box,
similar to that found at Carlisle, and was addressed to
Dumfries, where Mrs. Loudon said her parents lived.
The landlady, however, alleges that Mrs. Loudon took
off the address and substituted one at an inn at Carlisle,
at which she said she was going to call on her way to
Hartlepool to join her husband.

In accordance with the recommendations of the Sani-
tary Commissioners appointed to inspect and report upon
the barracks and military hospitals in England several
improvements for the health and comfort of the troops at
Chatham are ordered to be adopted at that garrison,
some of which are now being carried into effect ; the
results up to the present time being very satisfactory.
Directions have been given for the Deputy-Inabector-
General of Hospitals, accompanied by officers belonging
to the sever corps, to institute a close inspection of
each of the barracks once during every month, in order
that everything may be adapted to ensure the health of
the troops.
The Stork gunboat, tender to the Excellent gunnery-
ship at Porti :mouth, proceeded on Wednesday last up
Porchester I ake and made practice at short range with
solid shot frciu her S'Anch pivot gun upon an iron plate
affixed to the side of the old Briton frigate. At the
conclusion of the firing the plate, which appeared to be
upwards of f. rer inches thick and about 6 feet in length
by four in hr eadth. WAS carefully covered up with cen-
time. The r. molt of the trial, however. was precisely
the same as n former occasions of the kind, the third
shot from the gunboat breaking the plate and driving
large portions through the frigate's side, strewing the
deck with hr aken pieces of iron, and again clearly de-
monstrating the destructive character of a ship's so-called
" protective armour" must assume when broken up by
powerful art illery, and scattered in jagged fragments
among the cm ew of the Teasel it was intended to defend.
The Briton a ,as afterwards towed down the harbour and
placed in No I dock, to have her copper stripped off,
%when she will be again moored up the harbour as a
target for the Excellent.

The Charleston Courier reports the capture of • slaver
off the coast of Guinea just as she was about to embark
WO mimes. Further particulars are reported of the
seizure of the American Layne Orion, Captain Morgan,
as a slaver, by the British war steamer Pluto, off the
African coast. When the Orion was brought to St.
Helena she had on board 871 negroes. Before the vessel
had arrived 152 had died, which would make the total
number taken on board when she left the coast of
Africa 1023. The barque Emily, which was recently
taken to New York as a slaver, had escaped and sailed
for the African west. A Washington telegram of Feb.

LORD CARLISLE'S DIGNITY.—The Lord Mayor of
Dublin gave his inaugural banquet on Monday night to
a brilliant assembly, amongst which was the Lord Lieu-
tenant of Ireland. His Exoellency, in reply to the toast
of his health, defended himself against an imputation
which had been thrown upon him—that he had not in-
vested his office with sufficient gravity and solemnity.
Amidst the cheers of the assembly his Lordship professed
his love for the country in which ho was placed as the
representative of Her Majesty.

AUSTRIA.

Austria has given her answer to the English propo-
eitions for the settlement of the Italian question. She
cannot accept them. Count Reeliberg says the propo-
sals not only essentially alter the basis of the balance of
rower in Europe, which was founded by the Treaties of
1515, but are also in open opposition to the funda-
mental principle upon which the legitimacy of Go-
vernments in general, and especially the Austrian
Monarchy, is founded. In the third instance, the said
proposals destroy the rights of the hailer' Princes,
which were placed under the guarantee of Europe, and
which the Emperor Francis Joseph has the sacred duty
to protect in his quality of chief of the house of Haps-
burg. If, induced by all these motives, Austria declines
the proposed negotiations, she declares, neverthelese,
that for the present she will not endeavour to undo
force of arms that which she cannot prevent. although
reserving to herself full and entire liberty of action for
the future. The tone of Count Rechberg's answer is
described as exceedingly moderate and courteous.
(Inc step more has been made towards the removal
of Mei* disabilities from Jews in Austria. The Kraus
Oasette publishes an Imperial decree by which the right
of buying and possessing landed property is conceded to
the Jews, with the exception of those who are Polish.
This exception, however, is not absolute ; it has only
been decoded expedient to reserve it for the decision of
the future representatives of the country.
It is asserted that. in • family council of the Sovereign
family, a distinct course of action concerning the intro-
duction of a representative form of Government in the

organs at fault. The Pills will speedily restore these
to • healthy action ; while the Ointment, if well
rubbed in at least twice a day will soon cure any case
of skin Soldiers, sailors, and miners use this
famous Ointment in all parts of the world.

These eases are of so serious and dangerous a'nature
that the Ointuient would not be recommended unless
the Proprietor was sure of its effect. It will cure
when every other means may hid, if applied i tttt e-
diately, and not when the patient is beyond recovery.

tled coughs or wheezing will be promptly removed.

proposal lee the assembling of a Conference of

A letterfrom Se. p, ershurg of the 13th of February
saye The election of deputies from the nobility took
place lately in the chief I"fits of the various govern-
ments. Them elections Oreullbt together • great
number of the nobility. Thi. eagerness is explained by
the importance which is attache(' to the question of the
emancipation of the peasants—a qt;estion referred to the
deputies from the nobility. The question exclusively
absorbs the attention of the inhabitacts, and renders
them quite indifferent to foreign politics."

There Is little or no news of importance from hi

an end, and detachments from all parts are returning to
their head-quarters. Our lest advises stated that the
Nana, who had daised himself as a religions mendi-
cant, was being looked after. The pelts Gazelle now
learns that Government has received information
regardinghis movotwoutsi and that several leading
characters are still in the h Ss north-west of Khyreegnrh.
Other journals, on the oontrary, confirm positively the
news of the miscreant's death.
The o„de Gazette gives the following gratifying
intelligence that "eome very extraordinary discdosures
have been roads, and those who lost property during the
mutinies are likely to find much of it. The Gazelle has
accordingly been requested to give prominent insertion
to the following notice :—" The district-superintendent
of the Locknow police requests those °dicers or residents
who have lost property during the last two years in
pods will furnish him with complete lists of the same

XARK-LANE CORN EXCHANGE.

FRIDAY. Fllll. 34..—We were again meantily supplied
with English wheat—coastwise and by land carnage—
and the general quality of the samples was tolerably
good. For most kinds there was a steady, but by no
means active' demand, at the full prices of Monday.
The quantity of foreign wheat on offer was moderately
extensive. Although the inquiry was chiefly restricted
to small parcels, late rates were well supported.
Floating cargoes ruled firm. There was a firm inquiry
for barley, and high quotations were paid for selected
samples. Fine samples of malt were firm in price;
but inferior qualities were a dull inquiry, at barely late
rates. Oats commanded extreme rates, and the sale
for all kinds ruled steady. Beans and pima were in
short supply and good request, at full quotations. The
flour trade was healthy. In prices, however, no change
took place.

tional vaults of the rapidly increasing population of
this now thriving and prosperous town. Calculating
upon—lit, the sum to be realised by the sale of the
present buildings; 20d, the appropriation of a sum
raised ten years ago for the building an evening

the Council on Education—it is roughly estimated
that the amount required to be raised, in addition to
