THE TE-DEUM

The Te Deum at Notre Dame for the late victory at
Salferino was celebrated with extraordinary pomp. From
an early hour in the morning the neighbourhood of the
cathedral and every spot along the line of procession was
tilled. About ten o'clock the troops began to take up their
positions, the National Guard on the right, and the regiments
of the line ou the left. All the fins of the different regiments
of National Guard were ornamented with flowers, and each
musket had stuck into its muzzle an Italian or ?ranch
tricoloured flag. A salltte from. the Invalids aunounoe-d

the—derattare Of the Empress from the Tuileries. The
Imperial tiirtege, = composed of eight carriages, left the
Tuileries by the Place tin Carrousel, and entered the
Rne Rivoli by the Arcade of the Pavillon Richelieu.
In 4he first and second were the officers and ladies
of the, houSehold of the Princess Mathilde and the
Princess Clotilda ; in the third the officers of the
household of Prince Jerome ; in the fourth and
fifth the officers of the households of their Ma-
jesties; in the sixth was the Princess Mathilde ;
and in the seventh the Princess Clotilda. The
eighth contained her Majesty and the Prince Imperial,
the former of whom was dressed in white, with a Leghorn
bonnet, the Prince being also in white. The carriage of the
Empress Regent was escorted on the right by Marshal
Magnan, the adjutant-general of the palace, and the first
equerry, and on the left by the Marquis de Lawcestine,
commander-in-chief of the National Guards, an equerry of
the Emperor, and two orderly officers. During the passage
of the Empress, a complete shower of bouquets was
thrown from the windows, and as the carriage passed,
the people rushed forward, and flung flowers into it in
such profusion, that on its arrival at Notre Dame, it
resembled a perfect flower garden. At the same time, all
along the line the cheers and acclamations were most en-
thusiastic. The entrance of the cathedral was handsomely
ornamented with flags, and the interior of the building was
richly dressed out. Her Majesty, on alighting from her
carriage, held the Prince by the hand, and proceeded to the
entrance, where the Cardinal, surrounded by his clergy,
delivered an address, in which, after alluding to the happy
cause of the ceremony, he said :

"We are anxious ourselves, Madame, to return thanks
to the Almighty, and to invoke his abundant blessings on
the country, the Emperor, the Empress, and the Prince
Imperial. I shall, therefore, confine myself to lay at the
feet of your- Majesty the' homage of the profound respect
and devotedness of the 'venerable chapter of this church and
of all the clergy of Paris."

The Empress thanked the Cardinal, and then followed
him to a chair of state placed opposite the grand altar, by
the side of which were seats for the Princess Mathilda
and the Princess Clotilda. On either side were places
reserved for the Ministers, the constituted bodies of the
State, the members of the different tribunals, and other
persons in authority. The Sardinian Ambassador was
also present. On her Majesty taking he ,
of the organ burst forth, accompanying the Te Deem, which
was sung by the full choir of the church. The ceremony
concluded with the Doming salvum fac- The cortege
that returned to the Tuileries in the order in which it had
come, and amidst the same manifestations of enthusiasm
frem the vast crowds who had assembled in spite of the
excessive heat. At night, the various theatres were most

INDIA AND CHINA MAILS.

The advices are—from Calcutta, May 17th ; Bom-
bay, June 4th ; and Hong Kong, May sth.

The Calcutta and China mails have been delayed
by the wreck of the mail steamer Alma.

The Indian journals are barren of anything like
interest.

The Bombay Gazette, of June 4th, says, this side
of India is perfectly quiet. From the north we hear
only of the usual encounters on the borders of Oude
and Nepaul. ,
The Bombay correspondent of the Times says the
murmur of a portion of. the troops in the late East
India Co.'s service have become' less audible. The
deliberations of the Court of Inquiry are unknown.
Lord Clyde has allowed two companies of the 3rd
Bengal Europeans to draw up a petition to Parlia-
ment setting forth their wrongs. It is rumoured
that some of the Sikh regiments are about to raise
the cry of a fresh bounty or discharge.
Crest of the Wave, from Liverpool, arrived at
Shanghai, April 16th.

Sir John Bowring left Hong Kong for England,
May sth.
The Bombay Times says :

The wise measures taken by Lord Clyde to allay the dis-
content of the European forces of the late East India
Company, have resulted in the re-establishment of order and
discipline throughout the whole body. There are but few
comparatively who would accept an absolute discharge, even
were it offered ; and the most generous course would be to
grant a fresh bounty to the whole.
It is said that the Sikhs having got hold of the
rumour that bounty is to be had by kicking up a
dust, are following the example of the Bengal Euro-
peans, they. say they enlisted to serve John Kum-
panee and not the Ranee.
The Delhi Gazette has the following telegram :
From Major Bruce. Camp between Newulgurgh and
the Jorwah Pass; Dated 21st May.

After a night's march Sir H. Grant came upon Nana
Bala Roa, and Rajah Devee' Bux.'s forces in the Jorwah
Pais early this morning. The jungle was very thick,4hich
favoured all attempts of the rebels to hold the position;
armed with two guns. As soon as the heights were crbwned
they fled in great disorder up the Pass and over the. hills ;
a number were killed, and their. guns and camp taken:.
The force pursued them up the Pass and over the hills.
Lieutenant Torrens, of the Bads, A.D.C., slightly wounded;
and there are several casualties in the 7th Punjaub Thfantry,
the only corps engaged.
". This constant discomfiture ,of their forces and
capture of their gung and camps must be reducing
the rebels on the frontier of Oude to a miserable
position. They cannot surely last out much longer.
The Nana, however, still slips thiough our fingers.
It is probable that he.may be with his forces and
those of his allies on this occasion.

The Inam question is happily in- the way of
receiving satisfactory - and early solution in the
Madras Presidency;so lately threatened. with it Com-
mission, based upon the detestable principles that
have for years passed unsettled all -proprietary rights,
and made our name a bye-word fcr rapacity and bad
faith. The titles to holdings,in'the judgment of Sir
Charles _Trevelyan, shoUldThe determiaed upon the
following principles :-
1. Fifty .years' poSsession to 'constitute 'a prescriptive
title.. 2: The revenue acoaants to be• resorted to, not to
upset the Inemclai's holding, but to enable him to prove his
occupancy for the required period. •3. When the uninter-
rupted possession. for a period less than 50 years has been
proved under circumstances which afford a reasonable pre-
sumption that the failure of the proof of longer possession
is owing only to-the lapse of time, the' whole term shall be
held to have been proved.
The Calcutta Englishman gives currency to a
rumour that Lord •Canning has actually sent his
resignation,by the mail.
It is stated that a despatch is .heing prepared at
Calcutta, for transmission by the next. mail to the
Secretary of State for India, recommending a reduc-
tion of all civil salaries at 20' "per , cent. On sums
above 500 rupees, and 10 per cent:. under 600. ,

The life of ihe Nawaub of Furruckabad has been
spared. He is in effect pardoned, on the. sole con-
dition that he shall immediately quit the British
territory for ever.

CHINA.
(From the Overland China Mail)
The Hon. Mr. Bruce, the Minister to Peking and the
new Superintendent of British trade in China, arrived at
Hong Kong in the Magicienne, on the 26th ultimo, but
did net land officially till the 2nd instant, when he assumed
charge of the Superintendency. On Friday he goes from
this to Canton, in order it is presumed to settle the site
for the new factories, and shortly after will depart
for the North. Though Mr. Bruce goes to Peking, in
order to exchange the ratified treaty, it is generally under-
stood that his permanent residence will be at
Shanghae. Another arrival has been that of the new
naval commander; Rear-Admiral Hope, C.B. Sir John
Bowring leaves for England by this snail, after ten years in
China, but no news has•arrived of the appointment of a
successor. In these circumstances the Acting-Governorship
devolves on Colonel Caine,. the Lieutenantlovernor, who
has been connected with the colony since its formation.
Another colonial change is the resignation of the chief
magistrate, the Hon, Tudor Davis, who has accepted the
office of CoMmissioner of Foreign Revenue under the
Chinese Government. • - , •
