CALCUTTA AND CHINA MAILS.

The Euxine, with the above mails, arrived at Mar-
seilles at 11 ►m. this day. The mails were to
leave for London at IL3O am.

A Sardinian telegram lately announced the
arrest at Milan of M. Albert Mario, husband of Miss
White, a friend of Maszioi. M. Mario himself now con-
tradicts the statement in a letter published in the Pungolo,
and in which he declares that he has for several weeks gone
freely backwards and forwards from Genoa to Milan, and
was then at perfect liberty.

A correspondent, writing from Frankfort on the
Bth, says :—"The Roy. Dr. E. H. Chapin, of New York,
one of the most eloquent preachers of the Cairenelist
Church of the United States, paid a visit yesterday to the
American consulate-general here. Dr. Chapin is known on

this side of the ocean from the circumstance that twelve
years ago he participated in the Peace Congress held in this
city as one of the American delegates, and delivered a very
able sermon in St. Paul's Church, the place of meeting of the
first German parliament. Dr. Chapin intends to peas the
winter in Frankfort, after be has visited the different indus-
trial and scientific oonventions which will be held in Ger.
many in the course of the two next months."

PARIS, WEDNIIIDAY En:MG.

The Prince Jerome, which left Toulon on
August 28, with troops for Mexico, caught fire in
the Gibraltar roads, and appears to have been
utterly destroyed. The men on board were lauded,
and, aided by the crews of the English ships in the
harbour, endeavoured in vain to extinguish the
flames. The Fleurus, also carrying troops to
Mexico, has been run into and disabled by another
French vessel, and is now repairing at Gibraltar.
These casualties will very seriously delay the
formation of General Forey's army in Mexico.
Orders have been sent to Toulon and Brest to
despatch two other vessels of war to Gibraltar to
take up the troops which are waiting there.
The Patric says that the Emperor has received a
letter from President Juarez, in which he complains
that it is impossible for him to establish a stable go-
vernment, precisely because of the French expedition
against him. He therefore proposes an arrange-
ment which would have, as he insists, the effect of
separating the French troops from the faction
which has hitherto supported them, and establiah
a good understanding between them and what he
calls the national party. The Paine makes no com-
ment upon this news.
A very sound measure of M. Rouher, announced
in to-day's Monitenr, is the repeal of the decree of
1868, which compelled bakers to have three months'
provision of flour always in hand. The decree was,
in point of fact, a dead letter, for the administra-
tion has long felt itself powerless to enforce a rule
which many,or perhaps most of the bakers could not
have complied with without becoming bankrupt.
Other measures tending to free trade in bread are
promised, but they must await the consideration
of the Council of State.

M. Fould, now at Tarbes, is preparing for a
visit to Biarritz Madame Fould is expected in
Paris alone to-morrow, and from this circumstance
the inference is drawn that the Finance Minister
will remain several days with the Emperor. May
his counsels, so happily listened to at Biarritz last
year, check the reactionary party now so powerful
at court. His budget must be fearfully deranged
by the Mexican war and other untoward circum-
starces. I hear that the deficit is already 160
'millions.

What the Emperor really means to do about
Rome is more th►n ever a mystery. It has been
stated by one of your contemporaries, and I believe
the fact to be true, that he himself wrote the
paragraph in the Patric disavowing La France.
Nevertheless the Opinion, Nationale loudly pro-
claims that every recent act of the government
countenances the fatal doctrines of that journal.
The Prase, in the same spirit, says to-night :

A very keen controversy has been lately going on between
La France and the semiofficial journals. In this discus-
sion /a Prance has in the end got the upper band. The
Condifutionnel, which was very sggreasive at first, no
longer gives any sign of life, and the France speaks more
haughtily than ever. Evidently it would not assume such
an attitude if it did not feel itself powerfully supported.
The Duke and Duchess de Moray embarked at
Calais yesterday en route for Scotland.
At the Bourse the Bente, after having sustained
a further decline of about 10c., rallied and closed
at yesterday's price's. Mobilier rose f3fr. 75c., and
the Italian Loan 30c. In railways there was very
little change.
The Daily News is seised.

MALTA AND THE MEDITERRANEAN.

(ROY OUR OWN CORRILSPONDENT.).

James Mackin, a private of the 25th Regiment,
was tried before • general court.martial, on the 23th ult.,
on three charges :-Ist, for direct dimobedieuce of orders ;
2nd, for drawing his bayonet, with intent to place Sergeant
Slother'e (of the same corps) life in imminent danger ; and
3rd, kr highly insubordinate language to his superior officers.
Afterlwo days' sitting, the court acquitted the prisoner of
the second charge for want of sufficient evidence ; but sen-
tenced him to fifty lambs*, and twelve months' imprison-
ment, the first and third charges having bees fully proved
against him. The fifty lashes were not inflicted, on ac-
count of the prisoner being in a weak state of health.
Her Majesty's ship Exmouth arrived from Athens on the
29th alt., and on the 3rd inst. she proceeded to England to
be paid off. The officers and crew of the Pantaloon left in
her to take their trial. On the 30th the Alacrity arrived
from Corfu ; and on the 31st the Foxhound left for that
place with mails and despatches for the commander-in-
chief. Her Majesty's ship Pelican came into port on the 3rd
from Naples and Marina, and after undergoing some alight
repairs she will proceed to Corfu.
The Peninsular and Oriental ships Ermine end Pent have
just been telegraphed that they are expected here from
India on Monday next.
