were introduced to then

,state a few words in Ent
s which they have bee

taught since their Arrival =brig- Christim !nen-. The boy,
who is the elder of the two, is about 36 inches in height,—the
girl somewhat less. Their figure is thin, and they both seen
to be supple and active. In colour they resemble the Creole;
the eye is clear and sparkling; the hair a beautiful jet black,
and in the case of the girl curly. The boy's nose is aquiline,
and his brow low and receding. He has a very strong Jewish
expression in his countenance; but, between him and his com-
panion, there does not appear to be any family resemblance.
They are on very good terms with each other, and gentle and
kind to all with whom they come in contact.
We understand that they will be taken to-morrow to London,
where they are to be sluivrn to Her Majesty previous to being
introduced to the British public.

Lowbox, MONDAY, 1 30 P.M.—The letters have arrived,
and will be despatched to the provinces by the night mail,
INDIA AND CHINA.
The news brought by this mail, beyond the confirmation
of that already received by telegraph, is of little impor-
tance. Nothing further has transpired with regard to the
peogress of our negociations with the Court of Ave.
The Nizam has decided upon ceding to the British
Government the territory which it demanded of him in
lieu of his debt, and stipulated annual payment to the
contingence. The'affair of the Sucldnr Judges still ex-
cites great interest. A second petition from the Bornbsf
association, and other native inhabitantaof the PresidencYo
comes by this mail, soliciting for a committee on the spot'
and various other matters not referred to iu their previous
petition.
The advices from Bombay exttilfid to 23d May. The
political news has been anticipated by telegraph. Lathe

EASTERN AFFAIR&
No later authentic news of importance. Letters from
Kassey and Bucharest state that the governments of Mol-
davia and Wallachia had apprised the Sultan that if the
Russian troops should cross the frontiers of those princi-
palities, they will enter a protest against such violation of
thar territories, and will withdraw to the Ottoman terri-
tory. These letters come from the best source.
A Constantinople letter of the sth states-that a finnan
grants to the Christian subjects of the Ottoman empire
now immunities, so that they may regulate all their
spiritual interests without being obliged to demand the
assent of the Porte. The greatest possible freedom of
worship is accorded to them. This firman, would appear
to accord all that the ultimatum required.
The Daily 2Vewc- Paris correspondent says, private
reliable advises report that there had been &bloody battle
between the Circaasians and Russians, in whith the latter
had been defeated with severe loss, a General with 12,000
men and thirty pieces of cannon being captured by the
mountaineers.
