TIM DAY'S NBWS.

The news by the India -and ehini maims; which
arrived yesterdny, had been_ in: great part anti-
cipated. We, further learn;, however,, that the
discharged troops continued to. arrive, at ealeufta.
for embarkation, and were. despatched as rapidly.
as the means for doing so could be obtained.
Another additional 'item of intelligence is, that
the American Minister, had been well received at
Pekin, notwithstanding. the very disrespectful
treatment to which he had betbre been subjected,'
'We find by the latest aceount from Paris, that
the preliminary negotiations fox the European
Congress are still proceeding. Nothing had been
definitelY settled. England, it is again said, will
not be a party to it, unless the independence of
Central Italy is to be guaranteed.

It would now appear to be doubtful that the
Emperor Napoleon really intends to recall his
forces from Rome ; for if is distinctly stated, that.
he will only do so when." the form of government
renders their presence no longer necessary ;" but
when that may be, it is quite impossible to
calculate.

The prohibition issued to the French Press,
against continuing to pubtisfAhe'charges or cir-
culars of the Bishops, appears to be exciting
great complaint among the clergy. The Paris
Univers, it would seem, had received seven addi-
tional charges, the publication of which- it was
obliged to forego. It is said, however, that they
will yet reach the public eye in through
the medium of the Belgian journals.
The Government have just shown their desire
to give encouragement to the Volunteer Rifle
Corps, by directing an increase of the per cent-
age of arms allowed, from twenty-five to fifty per
cent., with a corresponding supply :of ball
cartridge.

The representation of the Borough of Whitby
having become vacant by the death of Mr. Robert
Stephenson, its retention by the Conservatives is,
it appears, to be warmly disputed. There are four
candidates already in the field,—two on each
side,—namely, Mr. George Hudson and Mr.
Chatman, Conservatives, and Mr. Thompson and
Mr. Seymour, Liberals. Both the Conservative
candidates are connected with the town, and have
therefore an advantage, independently of their
political principles, being hitherto those of a
majority of the electors.
It will be seen by our Paris advices, that Prince
Napoleon has left Havre, and is to visit the
Great Eastern at Holyhead. The correspondent
of the Evening Express thinks that it is not con-
fined to curiosity. He says :—" There is a rumour,
that the paragraph sent to all the journals, stat-
ing that Prince Napoleon has only gone to Eng-
land to see the Great Eastern, is a blind, and
that he has a mission from his imperial cousin to
see Queen Victoria, and talk to her about the
affairs of Italy."
There are reports of attempts having been made
by a committee at Milan to revolutionise Venetia
and the Southern Tyrol,—got up, of course, with
a view of shaking off the yoke of Austria ; but so
it appears without success.
The most important news from the Continent
this morning, is that from Zurich. It is said that
the French and Austrian Governments have signed
a treaty of peace. We are not in possession of
its provisions and stipulations.
The West India Mail has arrived at South-
ampton. There is not much news of importance.
Trade in the Islands was dull. From the South
Pacific we learn that another revolution had
broken out in Chili. A rich coal mine had been
found in the South Pacific Islands.
