INDIA AND CHINA MAILS.
The Ellora, having .on board. the Calcutta

China and the Bombay mails, arrived at Marseilles
at noon yesterday. The Alma grounded at Moos-
hedgera, near the Harrison Islands, in the -Red Sea,
at three a.m. on the 19th June ; &healed over imme-
diately,. and the starboard and sternports being put
under watcr, she filled rapidly from above. Mails,
Ipassengers, and crew all saved, and it was confidently
`believed that the vessel's bottom was not over injured,
and that she may 'be got off. Twenty-six of the
Alma's passengers -came on in the Ellor a ; the
remainder are on the Pera, which left Malta on the
30th June, and may be expected at Southampton on
the 9th' init. The Columbian,-with the Australian
mail, had not arrived at Suez on the 26th June.
The mails of the Ellora left Marseilles for London by
special train at two o'clock yesterday afternoon.

MR. COBDEN A.ND THE CABINET

- ---
Mr. Cobden has declined to accept the seat in the Cabinet
which was reserved for him at the formation of the present
Administration.

The Foal says that Mr. Cobden came to the conclusion
that the consistent purposes of his .public life will be best
promoted by his remaining an in-dependent member of
Parliament; in which capacity, hoWever, there is reason to
expect that he will give a friendly support to the present
Administration.

The Times remarks that the Liberal party will bear of
kir. Cobden's decision with great regret ; and asks how
are the raiddlE

ted; if

opportunities are thrown away ? Mr. Cobden's
presence, and tbat of Mr. Gibson, in .the 'Cabinet, would
have represented the substantial defeat of the old Wbig
monopoly of offise. The man who could unite in his own
person the free .qualities of carliamentary orator, popular
leader, and cabinet minister, would be no insignificant
personage at a time like the present. Aa a member of the
Cabinet, Mr. Coliden's opinions would carry with them
great weight. Even though he might be outvoted
by his colleagues in the long run, it is in the
cabinet that the incubation of measures takes place, there
it is that the leading idea is originally started, amplified,
modified, or denied.

The Morning Post announces that the vacant office of
President of the Board of Trade will be filled try the
'appointment of Mr. Milner Gibson. The cabinet will thus
remain composed of fifteen members.
