NEWS OF THE DAY.

The mails from China, Australia, and Calcutta,
will reach London to-day. Meanwhile, a Foreign-
office telegram, received yesterday, supplies us
in advance with some further particulars of the
results which have followed on the ratification of
the treaty with the Chinese beyond those given
in the telegram which reached this country on
the previous day, through Mr. Reuter's agency.
For example, we learn how much the Emperor
has " astonished the natives" by his condescen-
sion in permitting the Barbarians to placard the
walls and public places of his capital with the
terms and conditions of the treaty which he has
deigned to conclude with them. We also find—
mirabile dictu—that visits of ceremony have been
exchanged at the Imperial Palace between Prince;
Kung and the Allied Ambassadors. Admiral Jones,
it is said, was on the eve of paying a visit to Japan,
with a view, no doubt, of repeating the stroke
of policy which led to Lord Elgin's unexpected
visit to Jeddo after the conclusion of the former
Treaty with the Celestials, and to the consequent
opening of the Japanese ports, for the first time,
to vessels bearing the English flag. There is also
the satisfactory statement that no mention is made
in the advices, which these telegrams anticipate,
of any hurricane or naval disaster in the Chinese
waters. According to the Moniteur of yesterday,
the Chinese authorities have granted a site for a
Roman Catholic Church in Canton ; and we gather
from an annoucement in the Russian organ,
Le Nord, that Russia, as usual, has profited by
the present favourable opportunity, to conclude
another convention with China, which confirms
the privileges already acquired by Russia on the
Amoor, and extends thevcommercial advantages
attached to them.

The official organ of the French Government
announces that the negotiations for an armistice at
Gaeta remain without result. The same journal
repeats in substance the explanations given in our
Paris letters, of the conditions suggested by the
French Emperor for the proposed suspension of
hostilities.

A new Lieutenancy Council has been formed
for Sicily, and a subsequent telegram prepares w
for a similar event very speedily taking place w
regards the council of the new Viceroy of Naples
Another expected popular demonstration ii
Naples has been postponed, possibly owing to tiv
Government having published a decree grantinf
pensions to the deprived priests, whom it was no;
unnatural to connect with most of the various
developments of disaffection which have recently
manifested themselves in that city and in 'flit
adjoining districts.
