4ydri,y, on the 4,11 August next. This floe vessel has maintained
her high reputation for rapid sa ling and punctuality, end is a sister
hip to t e " Argo," which has made the quickest v gage to and from
.Australia up to this time. The Calcutta has been employed carrying
he Mails to and from England and Calcutta, and from her superior
sailing and steaming qualities, it may be fairly assumed that she will
make the run in 60 drays. Rates of Passage from 30 to 100 guineas.
she will be followed, on the 4th of October, by the ,:acEsus, of 2,500
tons. Full particulars as to Freight and Passage Money at the Com-

Sphynx steam-frigate, She will embark, it is reported,
2,000 troops, her lower deck guns having been removed
for their accommodation.
The Algiers, 91, Captain Talbot, passed Portsmouth
from Devonport on Sunday night for Cherbourg. '
The Colossus, Captain Robinson, has ceased fitting,
having lent her men to help in expediting the St.
Vincent, Termagant, and Sphynx for this special service.
The latter will be ready this day (Tuesday), and the
Termagant, on the 11th.

f passage money are,---yirst Class, 60 and 65 Guineas each; Second
lass 35 to 45 Guineas each. The ship will load and sail from South-

tons of ordnance stores to St. John's, New Brunswick ;
and 72 tons to Cape Coast Castle ; 90 tons of victualling
stores to Halifax • eight tons and a half of -victualling,

The latest news from the Black Sea fleet is contained
in a letter from BAltschik Bay, dated the 19th tilt., at
which date the Britannia, Agamemnon, Albion, Queen,
Trafalgar, Rodney, London, Retribution, Apollo, and
Banshee were at anchor there. The Caradoc despatch
vessel arrived there on the 16th from Varna, Lord
Raglan, Colonel Steele, and Colonel Lord Burghersh.

lish and French flagships, and left for Varna in the
evening, where a large party, consisting.of. 1410 Duke'of
Cambridge, General Sir George Browne, &c., met him
at dinner on board the Bellerophon. He. started that

ROYAL POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTION.
Under the Patronage of H.R.H. PRINCE ALBERT.

The Pub is is respectfully informed that this Establishment is now
placed UNDER E N TIRELY NEW MANAGEMENT, and that
alterations and improvements are in progress in all its departments,
which It is hoped will render it even more worthy of the support
of the public than it has hitherto been.
Communications in future should be addressed to J. H. Pepper,
Esq., the Resident Director.

Their Lordships also gave notice that several steam-
vessels of not less than 900 tons burden were required
to convey troops to the Black Sea.
A Southampton correspondent informs us that the
Royal Mail steamer Orinoco is being prepared for sea,
to take out a regiment of infantry, and the Peninsular
and Oriental steam-ships Himalaya and Simla. The
former is ordered to embark a regiment of cavalry from
Plymouth. The Government has also chartered the
General Screw Steam-Shipping Company's steamer
Prince, of 2,760 tons, now fitting at Blackwall, for the
conveyance of troops. The whole of these steamers are
to be got ready without delay. 13 waggons full of musket
ball-cartridges (weighing about 60 tons), and other mi-
litary stores, have arrived at Southampton for shipment
to the East. The destination of the troops to be sent
out by the Orinoco, Himalaya, Prince, and Simla, is not
known, but it is understood the steamers are to proceed
direct to Constantinople, there to receive orders as to
their final destination, which is supposed to be a port
in the Crimea, for the purpose of co-operating with the
land and sea forces now in the Black Sea, in a combined
attack on Sebastopol.
The depots of the 3d (Buffs), at Newry, and the 62d
(Wiltshires), in Belfast, have been ordered to send out
strong draughts to the service companies of their re-
spective regiments stationed at Malta with the least
possible delay.

Mr. Dalyell, Acting-Lieutenant of the Terrible, has
been promoted by Vice-Admiral Dundas to the rank of
Lieutenant, vice Sir Henry Blackwood, deceased.
The Apollo troop and store ship was to leave to
Baltschik on the 19th ult., with obsolete stores for
Malta.

OPENING OF PARLIAMENT.

MONTREAL, JUNE 19.—0 n Tuesday last his Ex-
cellency the Governor-General proceeded in state
to the Chamber of the Legislative Council, in the
Parliament-buildings, Quebec. The members of
the Legislative Council being assembled, his Ex-
cellency was pleased to command the attendance
of the Legislative Assembly, and, that house being
present, his Excellency was pleased to open the
Second Session of the Fourth Provincial Parlia-
ment with the following speech :
" Honourable Gentlemen of the Legislative Council,
and Gentlemen of the Legislative Asssembly,
"During the recess the province has sustained, I re-
gret to say, serious loss by fire, in the destruction of the
Houses of Parliament, and of the building which was
subsequently secured for the temporary occupation of
the legislature. The best arrangements practicable
under the circumstances have been made for your ac-
commodation.

DEPARTURE OF THE SCOTS GREYS.
The 2d Royal North British Dragoons, or Scots Greys,
having been ordered on foreign service, left Nottingham
yesterday. The occasion of their departure excited great
enthusiasm in the town, and it was calculated that 30,000
persons were present. On reaching the centre of the
market-square, they were met by a civic procession from
the Exchange, headed by Mr. Reckless, the mayor, and
Mr. Mundella, the sheriff, and which consisted of the
magistrates, town council, the municipal officers, many
of the principal townsmen, and by all the corporation
servants in their ancient livery, bearing the mace and
other insignia. The mayor's valet carried the "loving
cup," presented to the Nottingham corporation by
Henry, Duke of Newcastle, in 1631 ; and other attend-
ants conveyed a plentiful supply of wine wherewith to
replenish it. The "Health of her Majesty the Queen
having been drank with great enthusiasm, the Mayor,
grasping the "loving cup," addressed Colonel Griffiths
in energetic terms, telling him that it was the wish of
the corporation and people of Nottingham to drink, on
the eve of their departure for the East, " Success and
prosperity to the noble regiment of Scots Greys."
His worship having drunk to his toast, the cup was
passed round, and the civilians within the cirole did the
same, the band meantime playing "Scots wha ha'e wi'
Wallace bled" and other stirring tunes ; the people, who
thronged every inch of pavement, every window around,
and nearly all the housetops, meanwhile waving flags
and handkerchiefs, and unanimously cheering with enthu-
siasm. Colonel Griffiths, having expressed his anxious
desire to return a complimentary toast, was asked to
allow his men to partake of a parting cup of " Notting-
ham ale," which the corporation ordered immediately.
He then proposed "The Health of the Mayor, Corpora-
tion, and every individual_ of the town of ,_Nottingham,"
which was drunk by the officers from the "loving cup,"
and by the troops from their cups of ale, with three-
times-three hearty cheers, and many more.
The Rev. S. .I.ll‘All gave a few words of exhortation
and a parting► blessing, shortly after which the order to
march was given amid hearty cheering.

" Her Majesty the Queen, our most gracious Sove-
reign, having failed in her anxious and protracted en-
deavours to preserve for her people the blessings of peace,
has felt herself called upon by regard for an ally, the in-
tegrity and independence of whose empire have been re-
cognised as essential to the peace of Europe, by the
sympathies of her people with right against wrong, and
by a desire to avert from her dominions most injurious
consequences, to t up arms in oonjuction with the
Emperor of the French for the defence of the Sultan.
" The manifestations of loyalty to the Sovereign and
sympathy with the parent state which have been so
general throughout the province at this conjuncture,
will, I am confident, be heartily responded to by the
legislature. The cordial co-operation of England and
France m this war is well calculated to call forth the
sympathies of the inhabitants (of a country peopled
mainly by the descendants of those two powerful em-
pire,.

" Sir,—Having laid before my Lords Commissioners of
the Admiralty your letter of the 23d ult., transmitting a
report from Captain Yelverton, of her Majesty's ship Ar-
rogant, of the operations at kness, lam commanded by
their Lordships to express to you their satisfaction in en-
closing a letter from the Duke of Newcastle conveying her
Majesty's great satisfaction at the gallantry and skill dis-
played by the officers and men of the Arrogant and Hecla
on this occasion. .

Having during my recent visit to England been ho-
noured by the Qceen's command to endeavour to effect
the settlement of various important questions bearing
upon the interests of the British North American pro.
vinces which had been long pending between the Go-
vernment of Great Britain and the United States, I pro-
ceeded to Washington, where, after frank discussion
with the authorities of the United States, I was enabled
to conclude a treaty which now awaits ratification, upon
terms Which-it is my firm conviction - will prnee-ihrtho
highest degree advantageous to the colonies generally,
as well as to the United States. A measure to give
effect to that treaty will be submitted for your approval.
" I will communicate to you a de,patch which I have
received from the Secretary of. State for the Colonies,
with reference to the addresses to the Queen from the
two Houses of the Legislature on thesubject of the con-
stitution of the Legislative Council, transmitted by me
at the close of the last session of the provincial parlia-
ment, in order that they might be laid at the foot of the
throne.
" I recommend to your consideration the passing of
a law for bringing into early operation the act of last
session which extends the elective franchise, in order
that a constitutional expression of opinion may be ob-
tained as speedily as possible under the system of repre-
sentation recently established on the various important
questions on which legislation is required.
" Gentlemen of the Legislative Assembly,
" The public accounts for the past year and the esti-
mates for the present year will be submitted to you with-

gest to you the propriety of making such reduction in the
tariff as may be compatible with security to the public
creditor, and efficiency in the public service.
"Honourable Gentlemen and Gentlemen,

Our Malta correspondent in his letter, dated June 2G,

says,—

" During my sojourn in England, I was much struck
by the proofs which I received from all quarters of in-
creasing interest in Canadian affairs, and I trust that my
acquaintance with the province derived from long resi-
dence within it, may have enabled me to render some
service in spreading more widely a knowledge of its re-
sources and of the feelings of the inhabitants.
"Although a state of warfare has a necessary ten-
dency to restrict operations involving large expenditures
of capital, I feel confident that the credit of Canada has
attained a position in English opinion which it never
before achieved, and that, to enable you to retain it, no-
thing is requisite but prudence in your undertakings and
the maintenance of the high character for fidelity to
pecuniary engagements which the province has at all
times borne."
The house having adjourned, it did not meet
until Friday, when the house voted an address
echoing the sentiments of his Excellency. The
paragraph relating to the war is thus expressed
" This house heartily responds to the manifestations of
loyalty to her Majesty the Queen our Most Gracious
Sovereign, and of sympathy with the parent state,
which have been so general throughout the province, at
this conjuncture, when her Majesty having failed in her
anxious and protracted endeavours to preserve for her
people the blessings of peace, has felt herself called upon
by regard for an ally, the integrity and independence of
whose empire has been recognised as essential to the

From a report just published by the Montreal
Board of Trade, it results that in 1827 the exports
from the British American provinces to the United
States fell short of half a million dollars ; in 1852
they exceeded six millions. In 1849 the entire
exports and imports amounted to eight millions of
dollars. In 1852, after an interval of only three
years, they had increased in amount to sixteen mil-
lions. In 1849 the exports and imports from the
Canadas alone amounted in round numbers to five
millions ; in 1852 they had more than doubled,
amounting to eleven millions. In 1849 the quantity
of wheat exported to the States from the Canadas
was equivalent to about 25,000 barrels ; in 1852 it
amounted to nearly 467,000 barrels.

AMSTERDAM AND ROTTERDAM PnonucE.---The weekly
reviews from the Amsterdam and Rotterdam produce
markets state that business was limited. A slight increase
in the demand for coffee had created greater firmness,
and for some descriptions higher rates had been paid.
Sugar, raw and refined, exhibited little variation. Sales
of rice had caused an unfavourable reaction, the state of
the weather having been good for the grain crops. Metals
were heavy, and but few transactions had taken place in
indigo.
COMPLETION OF MADAME D'ARBLAY'S DIARY AND
LETTERS.— CHEAP EDITION.—The seventh and conclud-
ing volume of this work is just published. " This
volume possesses even more interest than any of the pre-
ceding. The work stands at the.head of this class of
English literature. Wholly different from the Diaries of
Evelyn and Pepys, or the Letters of Walpole and Lady
Wortley Montague, it possesses, in a high degree, some
of their best qualities. The great charm of Madame
D'Arblay's Diary and Correspondence is to be traced to
their good sense and ingenuousness. The air of a court
had not spoiled her natural character. Madame D'Arblay
had the good fortune to mix largely with the most dis-
tinguished persons of her time ; she was admitted to a
closer view of the domestic life of the Royal Family than
almost anybody else, and her literary reputation drew
around her crowds of people celebrated for taste and
