COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

ADELAIDE, Dec. 20, 1859:
Business since the departure of the last mail has
been quiet, and there is not much change to note in
quotations.
Bulky articles of import are, generally speaking,
lower in price, with the exception of salt, which is
rather higher. Negroehead tobacco is also up, but
present rates cannot long be maintained in face of
shipments on the way. Baltic deals are down about
ld. per foot. Brandies are slow of sale, notwith-
standing the enhanced prices in the home market.
Other liquids without change.
With regard to exports, twp-thirds of our wool
clip have now been shipped ; this colony would ex-
port some 28,000 bales this season. Melbourne
buyers keep up our prices to extreme limits

LATEST INTELLIGENCE.
The following later intelligence has been rti-
eeived by telegraph at Adelaide :
ADELAIDE, Dec. 20, 3 P.M.
The Peninsular and Oriental Company's steamer
Malta, which left Melbourne yesterday with her
Majesty's mails, sailed from the Port Phillip Heads
at midnight, passed Cape Otway at 7.30 this morn-
ing, and may be expected to arrive at Nepean Bay,
Kangaroo Island, to-morrow morning.
Tho Corio, with the South Australian mail, will
sail from Port Adelaide this afternoon to meet the
Malta in Nepean Bay, and will touch at Glenelg,
thus enabling us, not only to post the latest news
from this colony, but to include our telegraphic de-
patches received this afternoon from Sydney and
Melbourne, together with further advices which
have arrived in the latter city from Tasmania.
These will be found under their respective heads.

SYDNEY, DEC. 20.
The first stone of the Sydney School of Arts was
laid yesterday by his Excellency the Governor-
General,

The tea market is flat. Sugar quiet, the arriya
of the Chamios's cargo from Mauritius having al.
layed speculation.
Brandy is firm, particularly Martel's, and a fur.
ther rise expected.

DEFYING THE GAME-LAWS.—TheForres Gazette
says :—" A poacher belonging to Lossiemouth, who had
just served his time-60 days in Elgin Gaol, for going in
pursuit of game—saw a hare en Friday last on the road, at
the quay. He gave chase, and puss being hard pressed,
sprung on the deck of a vessel loading in the harbour. Nim-
rod was not be done, so ho jumped on board, and captured
the hare below a ooil in the corner. He held up his prey
exultingly, and defied the whole bench of Elgin justice to
touch him there."

INDIA, CHINA, A. US-

TRALIA.

We have received by extraordinary express, in
anticipation of the Overland Mail, letters and papers
from India and Australia. The dales are—Bom-
bay, Jan. 9 ; Sydney, Dec. 13 ; Melbourne, Dec, 20 ;
and Adelaide, Dec. 20.
THE INDIAN FORCE FOR CHINA.

The chief topic of general interest that will go
home by This mail is, the composition of the fame
told off for China. We now have manifestoes on
the subject from Bengal, Madras, and Bombay,
from which, and other sources, we are able to give,
we believe in part exclusively, the following par-
ticulars :

(*Supplied by Bengal, tby Madras, by Bombay.)
EUROPEAN TROOPS.

t No. 7 Battery, 14th Brigade Royal Artillery.
* Cavalry (not ictailed).
t Her Majesty's let (Kines) Dragoon Guards-200 men
and horses.

t 23d Company Royal Engineers.
t A and K Companies Sappers and Miners.
* Her Majesty's 3d (East Kent, or Buffs) Foot.
* liar Majesty's 6th (Royal Ist Warwickshire) Foot, Ist
Battalion.

* Her Majesty's Bth (King's) Foot, Ist Battalion.
Her Majesty's 31st (Huntingdonshire) Foot.
* Her Majesty's 37th (North Hampshire) Foot.
t Her Majesty's 44th (East Essex) Foot.
1: Her Majesty's 55th (West Essex) Foot.
* Her Majesty's 60th (King's Royal) Rifle Corps, Lt
Battalion.

Her Majesty's 66th (Berkshire) Foot.
* Her Majesty's 6th (South Hampshire) Foot.
* Her Majesty's 73d Foot.

NATIVE TROOPS.

t Artillery Company sth Battalion Artillery (C,olun-
dauze).:
t Ist Supplemental Company (Golundause).
* Irregular Cavalry (not detailed.)
* Five Battalions Infantry, including 15th Regt. Pun-
jaub Infantry (each 800 strong).
T. 3d Regiment Native Infantry (1,000 strong).
6th Regiment Native Infantry (1,000 strong).
The details of the European Cavalry and Native
Irregular Cavalry, to be furnished by Bengal, are
not yet known. The 3d Buffs is the only regiment
that has yet left. They embarked at Calcutta on the
15th November, on board the steamer Coromandel
and ship Tasmania. The 31st followed immediately.
The Bombay Presidency, it will be seen, contributes
two European and two native regiments to the
little army, for it is no less, which which will ere
long be on its way to the scene of our late repulse.
The Bombay Gazette lately stated that the two na-
tive regiments which Bombay furnishes were to go
to Canton merely to relieve two Bengal corps, and
remarked severely on the rest of the troops from
this presidency being transferred to the divisions
under the command of Generals Sir J. H. Grant,
Sir R. Napier, Sir N.Chamberlain, &c. The Bombay
officers and troops need not fear that any position
will be assigned them in the coming operations in-
consistent with that consideration which brave men
have a right to expect: It is reported that Major-
General Sir J. Michel, K.C.8., temporarily com-
manding the Malwa division, is to command the
Bombay column.
The force above enumerated will number not
fewer than 20,000 men. Of the five battalions na-
tive infantry supplied by Bengal, four are to be com-
posed of volunteers from Punjabi regiments, and
one of volunteers from Hindostani regiments. Each
man is to volunteer under his hand or seal, and for
two years. The battalions, with the 3d and sth
Native Infantry, will enjoy the usual privileges of
foreign service. A due proportion of native com-
missioned and non-commissioned officers will be
attached to each, in eight companies, and the fol-
, lowing European officers :—A commandant, second
in command, adjutant, interpreter and quarter- •
master, surgeon or assistant-surgeon, eight offieers
doing duty, and an apothecary. A general order
enters fully into further conditions of the special
service. We mention last a very important regula-
tion. To secure uniformity of ammunition, the
native force is to be armed with the smooth bore
musket, such as is used by the regiments of Bengal
and Madras Native Infantry now serving in China.
Corps now armed with rifles are to have them ex-
changed, before embarkation, for the musket. it ,
is to be hoped we shall not find the Chinese better
armed than ourselves.
THE CHINA EXPEDITION.

The Mofursl/ite publishes the following impor-
tant General Order :

Camp Meerut, Dec. 20.
His Excellency the Governor-General issues this notiß•
cation for the information of the Bengal native army.
It is likely that an army will shortly be required from
India for the Queen's service in China.

3. This army will be composed partly of European and
partly of native troops.
4. The European portion of it will consist of seven regi•
ments of infantry (in addition to the two regiments recently'
sent to China), and some cavalry; but respecting that portion
of the forces, his Excellency the Commander -in-Chief will
in due time issue the necessary directions.
5. The native portion of the army will consist, in the first
instance, of five battalions of infantry, of which four will b.
selected from such Punjabee regiments as may volunteer for
the service, and one from the Eindostanee regiments which
may volunteer. Some irregular cavalry will also be sent.

6. The strength of the battalions will be 800 private*
each, with the due proportion of native commissioned and
non-commissioned officers, in eight companies.
7. Each man, whether belonging to a regiment volunteer-
ing collectively, or coming forward separately, will be re-
quired to sign or seal a paper declaring himself to be a
volunteer. This precaution for securing individual willing-
ness will be taken after the offer of a regiment, or of any
man belonging to it shall have been accepted by the Gover-
nor-General.

8. The period for which volunteers are now required 11
two years. If it should happen that the service in Chine
extends beyond two y ears, any man who may wish to be
relieved at the end of that term will be relieved.
9. Depots will be formed in India of regiments ♦olunteer-
ing, to which men who do not prxeed on foreign service
will be attached, and the property left behind by the men,
and any of their families, will be carefully looked after at
these depots.

10. Tho Native Volunteer Battalions proceeding to China
will enjoy the established privilege of foreign service, viz.
I. The privilege of granting family money certificates.
11. The nomination of heirs to family pension in case of
their decease.

111. Pay and full batta, in addition to free rations. The
full batta will be drawn from tho date on which each mane
offer of service is accepted.
IV. Rations, gratis, on board ship and on shore, while
on foreign service and until re-landed in Bengal. The Com-
missariat Department will issue the rations, of which the
cost will be defrayed by Government.
V. On embarkation, haversacks, canteens, and hammocks,
and a great-coat per man, at the public expense; the arti-
cles to be accounted for by quartermasters, in the periodical
returnis.

VI. Half batta during leave of absence on medical certi-
ficate.

VII, After return of a regiment from foreign service if
in time of peace, a quadruple proportion of native officers
and men will be entitled to furlough, fer periods propor-
tioned to the distances of their homes and with the privi-
lege of half batta during such furlough.
11. The native force will be armed with the smooth-bor*
musket, such as is used by the regiments of Bengal aid
Madras Native Infantry now serving in China; and, in
order that uniformity of ammunition may be preserved
throughout the entire native force in that country, corps
now armed with rifles will, before embarkation, have the=
exchanged for smoothbore muskets.
12. Each volunteer regiment will have the following
complement of European officers :
A Commandant.

A Second in Command.

An Adjutant.
An interpreter and quartermaster.
A medical oficer (surgeon or assistant-surgeon). Eight
(8) officers doing duty.
An apothecary.

His Excellency the Commander-in-Chief is requested to
issue such further subsidiary orders as may be necessary
respecting the formation of the force, European and Native,
proceeding to China.

R. J. H. BIRCH, Major-General,
Secretary to the Government of India, with
the Governor-General.

THE WAGHERS.
The prestige of our arms, which had been some
what damaged (reasonably or unreasonably) by our
heavy losses at Beyt, and the escape of the Waghell
from both that place and Dwarka, has been emu'
pletely restored by a brilliant achievement of Major
Honner, the successful storming of the liraghers'
Fort on the Übhpoora, resulting in the thorough
disorganisation of, it is to be hoped, their main body'.
In a former Overland Summary we noticed the ale
embarkation of the Ist Grenadier Regiment atroreh.:

TIM UNITED STATES' PARLIAMENT.—A special
r,e4hington despatch to tie New York Herald,.dated Jan.
v) gives the following photographic view of the proceed•
,411 if the house :—" Washington, Jan. 20. The house
.esig
concluded its theatrical performance for this week,
~s_a\ring taken but one ballot. The proceedings to-day were
174racterised by language of the most vulgar Billingsgate,
(1)' appeals to the wildest passions, by propositions and
'4llticiations unparliamentary, discourteous, and die-
taceful. The galleries are daily appealed to in general
d;r0151 .
by inflammatory arguments, and often in language
hared
To-day so loosely was the business of the
0118 e conducted that the members themselves presented
°te the appearance of a disorganized mob in a low
rtho us e than that of the greatest deliberative body
i;'• the world • and, under the impulsive retort of a mem-
,l(.)r from Arkansas to the remark of a member from New
°tic, the galleries, from the example sot them by the
Illetabers, caught up the fever of disorder and broke out
Imo the loudest cheers. The clerk appealed to the people
the galleries to preserve order, rebuking the house at the
ritse time for setting the example. Unless those who pro•
Xis to represent the people can give better evidence that
TeY are capable of governing themselves than they have
'°tie thus far they had bettor not attempt to govern others.
f"lw more weeks of such bear-garden scenes as have been
ththe Messed at the national capital be sufficient cause for
e People to rise, and with a Cromwell at their head, drive
znresent disoom cap. The house is
Cupy zo nearerrganisers an election thanthe it wasital six weeks ago. Mr.
to "ates speech to-day utterly failed to induce Mr. Clark
Withdraw his Helper resolution."

On Friday, the 27th ult., the South Oxfordshire
hounds met at Menmarsh Guide-post, to which
meet his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales, look-
ing every inch a sportsman, trotted up on his grey
hack, and found one of his clever hunters
awaiting him. The scent was bad, and it was
feared that the Prince's first day with the South
Oxfordshire would prove a blank, but as the day
advanced there was a change for the better. The
noble master of the hunt the Earl of Macclesfield,
who hunts his own hounds, trotted to Water-
perry Wood, one of the many covers belonging to
that " fine old English gentleman," J. W. Henley,
Esq., who is no loss distinguished as a coulty
member than -he is as a preserver of foxes and a
lover of the noble and national sport. Here a fox
of the right sort was unkennelled and went away
like a shot, but the Earl, with his accustomed
alacrity, clapped the hounds close to reynard's
brush. Over Waterperry Brook they went to
Holton Wood and right through it, but the fox
was unfortunately headed in his attempt to break
from that covert. He then took a turn round the
wood, and made his point over the Stanton-road
into the Shortover pleasure grounds, leaving the
mansion to the right, then ran the valley
nearly to Littlemore, the hounds at this
point running as if they could see their
fox up the hill to the right, and shot over to
the village of Horspath ; leaving that to the right,
he pointed as if for Sandford Brake, but altering
his course he ran to the new enclosures, where
posts and rails, single and double, were too nume-
rous and by no means agreeable to the field. The
hounds hunted their fox beautifully, and Lord
Macclesfield and the Prince rode stride by stride
over the valley in and oat the rails side by side, as
if they were running in couples—up the hill—all
went over the heavy ploughed land, to the Garsing-
ton road when a check, and a welcome one,
although but short, occurred ; one of his lordship's
quick and judicious casts soon brought all on the
line of the old fox once more, when they ran him
merrily acmes the Denton fields, leaving the village
to the left, over the Denton woods, and pointed for
Chislehampton ; but poor reynard's strength began
to fail him, when he tried all his cunning, but it
was of no avail, for the hounds pressed him to the
Chislehampton road, and he was finally run into
in the village of Garsington, after the best run of
the season, the time beine. 1 hour and 20 minutes.
His lordship presented the Prince, who was well
up at the death, with the brush, a eompliment which
his Royal Highness appeared to appreciate, and no
doubt will preserve as a pleasurable reminiscence
of his first day- with the South Oxfordshire hounds.
His Royal Highness rode well and boldly, and his
appearance in the field was hailed with great de-
light, and may be regarded as an epoch in the his-
tory of this truly.national sport.

RUSSIA.

A letter from St. Petersburg of the 24th ult.,
says

" In Russia a financial crisis, which is:almost as
severe as that in Austria, prevails ; but there is
this difference in the situation of the two countries
—the foreign credit of Austria is destroyed, whilst
Russia enjoys the confidence of foreign capitalists
from the exactness with whick she has constantly
fulfilled her engagements. Owing to the crisis the
precious metals are being hidden, and even cop-
per has become :so scarce that a premium is paid
when given for paper. The commercial community
hopes Government will keep its promise to reduce
the amount of paper money, and to put into circu-
lation from 25,000,000 to 30,000,000 of roubles in
new copper coin. So great is the scarcity of small
coin that notes are cut into pieces to represent such
coin, and retail traders have issued a sort of paper
tokens which they agree among themselves to ac-
cept as coin."

LA TV INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day.)

COURT OF PROBATE AND DIVORCE.
(Before Sir C. Creswell and a Common Jury.)
BROADBENT V. HUGHES.

This was a suit instituted to test the validity of a will
executed by Joseph Hughes, who had been a surgeon in the
Royal Navy, and died last year, bequeathing the whole of
his estate, amounting to about £t,ooo, to his niece, the
daughter of the plaintiff, to whom from childhood he was
much attached. The instrument was disputed by the
plaintiff, his only brother and next of kin, on the usual
ground of the testator's alleged incapacity and subjection
to undue influence at the time it was executed.
Mr. Sergeant and Mr. Francis were counsel for the
plaintiff, and Dr. Fhilliniore, Q.C., and Dr. Tristram, for
the defendant.

It appeared that the testator was 88 years old at his de-
cease, but that his mental faculties were unimpaired, and
that he resented to the last some of the acts of the plaintiff
which extremely displeased him. It was sworn distinetly
that he gave instructions to the party who drew up the will,
to leave all his estate to his niece, and when asked whether
he would not make some provision for his brother and
family he repeatedly replied in the negative.
The case was opened late yesterday and was resumed this
morning, but the evidence for the plaintiff was proceeding
when we went to press.
