THE NEW TREATY WITH CHINA.

Sir Rutherford Alcock enlarges upon the merits of
the new Chinese Treaty. He considers the imposi-
tion of a2l per cent. duty, instead of the transit
dues as the greatest advantage in the new con-
vention. He has littleto doubt this benefit
will be a real one, and that a total exemption from
such charges will be secured in the end. "The
argument of the faithlessness of Chinese authori-
ties to their engagements, and their ingenuity
in finding pretexts for extortion, or the arbitrary
levy of taxes, if carried to its logical conclusion,
would be equally valid against any system that could
be devised; and should lead to the total abandon-
ment of all effort to remove what is defective in
the existing state of things, or any further
endeavour to relieve foreign trade from
the greatest obstacle to its extension Bind
prosperity. The absolute abolition, by imperial
decree, of all inland taxation would be just as value-
less on this supposition; some officials would still be
assumed to be likely to find means of evading the
law and levying taxes." Sir Rutherford also brings
arguments to justify the increased duties on silk and
opium, sJ much complained of.

THE SPANISH CROWN.

At last we hear a positive fact, and not a specula-
tion, from Spain. A very suggestive fact it is,
too. The Duke of Montpensier arrived at the
Spanish capital on Monday morning, unannounced
and unexpected. "He went," telegraphs the Times
correspondent, "to the Hotel des Principes, and
afterwards on foot to the Church of San Gines ; then
visited various private friends and made purchases in
sundry shops • then called on General Prim, with
whom he had long interview." It seems his grace
did divers other things ; but this last transaction is
most remarkable. That the Duke of Montpensier
should visit the politician who has been most
bitterly opposed to him, and who has kept
him - from the throne so long, is a
symptom that cannot be overlooked. A general
movement amongst the Spanish journals, too,' is
noticeable. They are hazy, but evidently gravitathigi
to the Duke.

Draughts from three of the depots stationed at
Chatham left that garrison on Monday for Ports 7
mouth, to embark on board the Serapis troopship
for conveyance to India, to join the service com-
panies. These draughts consisted of 54 noncom-
missioned officers and men of the Ist Battalion of
the Bth, under the command of Capt. Forster, of
the Ist Battalion of the 3d ; 94 of all ranks of the
Ist Battalion of the Ist Regiment, and Lieutenant
Posnett ; and 20 of the 45th Regiment, and Lieut.
Bridge.
