We read in the New York Herald of the 15th :

fl rebel pirate steamer Tallahassee, Captain Wood, of
the rebel navy, was plying about New York harbour for
several ►oare yesterday. She captured and destroyed six
v them one of our pilot boats, the James
F w►eee crew, together with • portion of those of
thew beige, a herciae. and • schooner, landed at Fire Island
ie it yawl, having been picked up by the yacht Lily.
The rest were put on board the schooner Carroll. The Tal-
labgies is an iron steamer, and was built in Louden. She
esilti rersaily from Wilmingtoe, wit► a crew of 120 ma
and three goes. When last seen yesterday eves* she was
steering south-east, taking the pilot boat Funk se • Mader.
Not having any swift war vessels ready for such an ewer-
geney off Beady Hook (thanks to the vigilance of Mr. Weller),
the pirate has no doubt made good her escape to do further
damage along the coast. She cams within 60 miles of Sandy
Hoek on Thursday.

THE INDIA AND CHINA MAILS.

By the arrival of the above mails we have re-
ceived &deices from Calcutta to July 22 ; Madras,
July 28 ; Colombo, August 1 ; Singapore, July 21;
Hong Kong, July 12, &c.
Advices from Calcutta to the 22nd of July men-
tion that a change had taken place in the weather,
the intense heat having given way, and that the
rain was coming down very favourably for the
crept, except those of the indigo planters in Lower
Bengal. For them it was considered too late and
too plentiful.
"Our latest intelligence received from Bhootan,"
says the Madras A Memnon, "is to the effect that
the Astern authorities have suspended all com-
munications with Bhootan, and have stopped all
payments of Dooar revenue. Ambaree and Fella-
cottah have been annexed to the British do-
minions, the police posts on the frontier have been
strengthened, the civil and military authorities
have been instructed to be on the alert, and two
companies of native infantry are to be stationed
io Cooch Behar. The Bhootan government have,
moreover, been informed that if, during the rains,
they do not release the Bengalee captives, and re-
store the plundered property, the British govern-
ment will take hard measures as soon as the rains
are over. Report says that a military officer now
in the Puojaub is likely to have the command of
the expedition."

The election for North Ontario closed on the
27th, Mr. McDougall, the provincial secretary,
being defeated by a majority of 100 votes. This
news is of some importance.
Mr. George Brown, the prime mover in the new
arrangements, had declared before this untoward
election came off, that the rejection of the provin-
cial secretary by his constituency would be almost
a fatal blow at the coalition. Probably, however,
some expedieet will be found to meet the difficulty
temporarily, without breaking up the government.

their guest passed by, and venting
- •

approbation in bitter sentences, they
like ordinary Englishmen to greet Ilith
indulgence the fourscore winters of tliat e

bojhood, and to cheer a statesman who was wrest-
ling with parliamentary opposition and with foreign

Powers when linatteril was a barren heath, and
its industrial creators were in their cradle,: There
is something religions in the duties of hospitality,
and in the rights of guests, which it is almost an
impiety to offend. It was better that the people
of Bradford should for a moment forgive the short-
comings than forget the services of the eminent
statesman within their gates.
As for Lord PAutassroir's part in this Brad-
ford celebration, it will hardly be denied that his
speeches were, at least, as "serious and artistic"
as (according to the reporters) the manner in
which he "discharged the duty of spreading the
" mortar, and afterwards seeing that the stone
" was properly adjusted." It is difficult, even at
this distance, and in cold blood, to read the noble
Lord's lively homily on the liberation of industry,
on the interests of the consumer, and on the
fallacy of " reciprocity," without believing
that he invented free trade. And when
with reluctant modesty he hints at the supe-
riority of the government which is now in
power, the men of Bradford who have grown rich
out of the cotton crisis are not in a humour to be
captions or ungrateful. Bradford, too, is some-
what mixed in races, and German in nationality,
so nothing need be paid for Denmark. Our neigh-
bour over the water have been waiting many
weary years for the crowning of an Imperial
edifice with liberty. Englishmen have not so
long to wait for the crowning of their great Mi-
nister's career. If at the Mansion-house he dons
the panoply of a British MA33, and from behind
nine millions' worth of fortifications challenges the
world to war, at Bradford behold the PALMIASTON
of Peace !

THE

caused a painful surprise ; it undoubo/44;slsr
a misunderstanding ; it must be apocryphal ;
awkward imitation of the celebrated bulletin of
Napo's°, I. demonstrates its blames ; if it were
authentic, it would rank with the " most extra-
" ordinary enormities in the history of wars."
The Penes's order of the day, however, is more
then authentic ; it shows that he has thoroughly
comprehended and adopted the sentiment which
has dictated this unjust war. It is the policy of
the Kiwi, his uncle, and M. BLIMARcx to raise the
Army in the eyes of the Prussian people, and give
its leaders a more decided preponderancy in the
State. For this reason it was sent to
the Duchies in numbers greatly exceeding
the army of Austria, and doubtless with a sincere
intention that it should bear the brunt of the war.
From whatever cause, however, it has happened that
the Austrians have hitherto had to do nearly all the
hard fighting. A correspondent who was with the
Danish army during the engagements in the South
of Sleswig, and who accompanied it to Ditppel,
observes that, with the exception of their not very
successful attack on Missunde, the Prussians were
hardly ever seen or heard of at the front, and
all the toil and honour of the campaign seem to
have been appropriated by the Austrians, in
whom the Danes recognise worthy adversaries,
while they speak of the Prussians with contempt.
This is no doubt unfortunate for the Panics and
his family, but he will not mend matters by leaking
gasoonading proclamations, which in these days of
railways and telegraphs can only excite contempt.
It is to be feared, however, that the failure of the
Palms and his army either to win distinction or
seize unmerited renown will also prove a mis-
fortune to Europe by prolonging the war.
The Prussian Parliament will not be ruined
in influence by exploits like those of Mar.
shal WaaxosL and Prince Fssoastes CHARLIS
in Sleswig. Something more must be done to
exalt the army in public esteem, and excite in the
nation a military enthusiasm which will neutralse
all domestic political action. It is not likely that
the opportunity will long be wanting. The Danes
have yet to be driven out of a position which
is not only strong in the mere engineering sense,
but which is far better adapted than the Dsnne-
werk was to make their numbers and resources
effective. Whenever Ditppel is attacked we may
expect to hear that thousands have fallen before
its entrenchments. If the Prosaism' are bure'ng
to march in the front rank on that Decision, we
may hope that not only their ambition may be gra-
tified, but foremost places will be reserved for tl-e
military members of that family whose guilty am-
bition has done moat to instigate this cruel and
unjust war.

THE INVASION OF SLESWIG.
According to advices from Duppel, Marital
Wrangel reconnoitred in person on the 15th and
16th all the works in that neighbourhood. The
siege artillery sent for to Berlin had arrived, and
the attack on the works was looked on as likely to
take place without much further delay. The Prus-
sian Guard was to be first engaged, not having as
yet taken part in any hostile affair. The Danish
squadron, composed of 12 vessels of war, was
anchored
close to the island of Alsen, off Son-
derburg. Two iron-cased frigates, the Absalom
and the Willesnoes, armed with rifled cannon of
long range, as well as three gunboats, had been
ordered to take up a position within 200 yards of
Duppel, so as to open fire against the Prussian
forces when necessary. A reserve has been
organised in the island with large supplies of stores,
hospitals, &c. A daily service of steamers has been
established between Alsen and Oopenhagen. The
inhabitants of the town of Duppel have taken refuge
at Nordburg in the island.
" While a part of the Prussian army," observes
the Constitenosacl, "is pursuing its siege operations
against the entrenchments of Duppel, which
are defended by six battalions of Danes, a Danish
force is also concentrated at Fredericia, a fortified
port of Jutland at the northern entrance of the
Little Belt. The allies, anticipating a long re-
sistance at Duppel, are said to be think4og of be-
sieging Fredericia also. The allied troops may
consequently now be seen to be extending from
the south to the north on the Apeorade causeway
at the north of Sleswig —the Austrians advancing
towards Hadersleben, Zegerap, and Marstrup,
whilst the Prussian Guard is concentrating around
Christiansfeld, where the commander-in-chief has
transported hie head-quarters." The Pnuse even
announces the oocupation of Kolding, a town of
Jutland on the frontier of Sleswig.
"It is the corn trade, carried on to a consider-
able extent on the coast of the Baltic," says the
Pays, "which will suffer the moat from the blockade
of the German porta by Denmark. In order to
form an idea of that fact, it is sufficient to know
that corn forms one third of the exports which take
place from the Prussian ports. To speak of
Koenigsberg alone, out of 40,00,000 worth of
merchandise which leave that port every year,
wheat and rye alone amount to 15,000,000.
Almost all the cargoes of corn which are
shipped at that port and at Dental°, Stettin, and
Memel, go to England, Belgium, and Holland, but
England alone takes sore than one-half. It is
only in years when the harvest is bad in France
that corn from the Baltic comes into the French
markets. If, therefore, the blockade with which
Denmark threatens the Prussian ports becomes
effective, France will not have to concern herself
in the matter on her own account. Such will not,
however, be the same with England, which every
year requires from 20,000,000 to 25,000,000 hecto-
litres of corn from abroad, and which has not yet,
as we are aware, completed her supplies."

OPENING OF Tfrii" DINISHRIGSRAAD:

SPEECH OF THE KING.
OOPENHAGEN, Jon 25, 2.25 P.M.

The Rigsraad was opened today at noon by the
President of the Council, who read the speech from
the throne, which contained the following passages :
—" The threatening crisis of the Fatherland, and
the expenditure necessaiy for the continuation of
war, have caused this convocation of the Rigaraad.
We have recently learned for how little the clearest
right reckons in Europe, and how isolated we are.
We therefore acceded to the painful sacrifice of the
country south of the &Mei. The enemy demands
more, but we reply negatively, being convinced
that the people agree with us. May God grant
that, ac least in a certain place, the sympathy for
us may grow into active support !"

EARL RUSSELL AND DENMARK.
COPENHAGEN, Jan 16, 10.58, P.m.

In to-day's sit Sing of the Folkething (Lower
House of the Rigsraad) the President of the
Council, in reply to a question upon the Conference,
said : " The Danish plenipotentiaries were

instructed to accept the line of demarcation
of the Schlei, and to agree to a fortnight's
prolongation of the armistice should England firmly
adhere to that line. Earl Russell promised that
neither would be propose himself nor support the
proposal of any other plenipotentiary which would
' be less favourable for Denmark unless Denmark
herself should consent to such new proposals.
Earl Russell nevertheless proposed in the sitting
of the Conference of the 18th roes., that
the question should be submitted to arbitration,
although Denmark did not consent to this proposal."
Bishop Mowed said in conclusion--" I cannot
explain how this proposal was consistent with Earl
Russell's promise."
