NEWS OF THE DAY.

The intelligence which reached us last night
from China, though described as " unimportant,"
is in reality very satisfactory. The Treaty has
been posted up on the walls and public places of
Pekin, so that, as regards its provisions, the Bri-
tish maxim, "ignorantia legis neminern excusat,"
will, henceforth, receive effect. The removal of
the allied forces to Tien-tsin was being satisfac-
torily accomplished. A suitable residence for
our Ambassador, Mr. Bruc', has been ordered
to be got ready in Pekin, and orders have,
no doubt, by this time reached the Foreign
Office, to have a suitable place of abode
prepared for a representative of the Chinese
Emperor in London. All the important Chinese
ports are announced as being now open to trade,

and the only drawback to the pleasant nature o

the news by this arrival, is the statement that
great alarm prevails at Shanghai in consequence
of another threatened attack by the rebels..
The rebellion or insurrection in New Zealand
is at an end. The natives have at length been
completely defeated in a desperate battle, in
which their head chief has fallen.

The accounts from Melbourne and Adelaide are
much more favourable than for some time past.
Upwards of 100,000 ounces of gold are on their
way from the former Port to the Bank of England.
It appears that the important despatches, which
were sent, on Tuesday, by a special messenger, from
Paris to the French Ambassador in London, con-
tained an explanation by the French Cabinet of its
reasons for determining to prolong the occupation
of Syria, by the French troops, beyond the period
of six months stipulated for by the Convention.
The idea that a considerable improvement has
recently taken place between France and Russia
is of course much strengthened in consequence,
and the near approach of another attempt to solve
the Eastern question is no longer doubted in any
quarter.

From Gaeta the latest news is, that an armis-
tice of ten days has positively been concluded
between the besiegers and the besieged : and from
the Neapolitan provinces we continue to hear of
insurrections and civil disorders, which are rapidly
becoming normal, for want of a strong govern-
ment to suppress them. Signor la Farina has
again got into trouble at Palermo, and the
ministry of which he was a member has been
dissolved.

It is announced that the amnesty which has
just been proclaimed by the Emperor Joseph to
his subjects will include M. Kossuth.
It is considered probable that Prince Frederick
William, as Crown Prince of Prussia, will be soon
nominated Governor of Pomerania, as since the
days of Frederick William I. this honour has
always been conferred on the heir to the Prussian
Throne. The present King formerly held the
office.

The Russian Government has advertised for re-
turned gold-diggers, either Australian of Cali-
fornian, to visit the Siberian diggings and give
the local operators the benefit of their experience.
it seems the productiveness of the Oural moun-
tain slopes and the other places is not what it
used to be, and blame is attached to the unskilful
methods employed, and ignorance of metallic
diagnosis.

It was rather expected that a further rise in
the rate of discount would have been declared by
the Bank of England Directors yesterday, at their
monthly court, but such was not the case.

The hearing of the All-Souls College case,
relating to the elections to the fellowship, com-
menced on Tuesday, before the Archbishop of
Canterbury, the visitor; Lord Wensleydale and
Dr. Travers Twiss as his assessors. The main
points involved are whether the warden and
fellows are entitled in their elections to consider
