The following extract is from a letter by a trader Cinnamon to his master:— King Teen-teh, on the commencement of the mid- term of last month, ordered a tunnel to be dug the earth to attack the city of Chen-chew secretly. he tunnel commenced four or five le on the south He of the Chee-king hill; after the men had dug ce more than feet, they suddenly found a hil of. bricks and stones before them, piled up so Hl that they appeared to have boen done by men. hen these materials were conveyed from the tun- 1 to the foot of Chee-king hill, the workmen found it they looked like stone and yet not stone, and various sizes; in shape some resembled an ox gue, some were like a man’s fist, and others embled bricks, and they were all covered with low auud ; some of the workmen then took them \d had them washed and broken, after which they the white substance very different from bricks " ht at first that they were es of copper or lead, but, after careful examina- in, they discovered that they were silver.

At the same timo, parties re sent out to induce others to come and join pir standard, and likewise to purchase ammuni- n, horses, and cows.—12th moon, 4th day. We have gathered the following intelligeno from wang-se:— ‘hat on the commencement of the eleventh month, Ing Tai-ping ordered 1,500 of his men to go and ise it abroad that he would join the troops of len-teh to attack the city of Sze-yun foo, but that above-named troops would only move slowly. en this came to the ears of the Tartar General e-shang-ah, he immediately ordered the troopo Loong-on district, Namming department, and her places adjoining Sze-yun-foo, to proceed im- diately to protect it against the rebels. When rebels know that the troops had left Loong-on, py immediately turned about and marched west- rd with great speed, and arrived at Loong-on city twenty-four hours, and at once, without any no- le to the inhabitants, succeeded in getting into b city, driving away the officers, and taking pos- sion of it, after which, troops were sent out in all ections to throw up intronchments, to prevent b return of the Tartar troops. he night post boats of Saihoy have brought the lowing news :— t is reported that during the last few days all paesengers en board the boatsfrom Shaouhing- were soldiers of Toong-koon district, and that ‘y were returning to their native places from the iy of Kwangse, because there was no supply of visions. Those who have not returned have ced themselves under the standard of the rebels, indering and robbing with them, and showing m the way to attack the guarding troops of the tars. Some of these Toong-koon men who still ain with the Tartar officers, are paid by the re- s to get information for them, or to report the vements of the Tartar troops.

By sea and land, it is no exaggeration to say, tho co- lonists were leaving, not by scores or hundreds, but literally by thousands, for the Victoria gold dig- Binge. In example of this, we may montion that the government report of emigration for the fort- night ending December 27, gives a balance against tho colony of 744 adults, not counting those who left by land, which was considerable. Porhaps no graver instance of the effect of the panic can bo cited, than the pein and value of Burra Burra shares, which in December were at £160. On Jana- ary 2d, these hitherto much coveted shares were sel- ling at £116; @ private letter, from a trustworthy source, dated the 5th, reports them as selling on that day at £91; and a letter of the 6th quotes the price at £50, holders eager to sell and few purchasers. ‘Tho revenue had seriously suffered; the quarter onding December 31st, compared with the same period of 1850, shows a falling off of £7,000. The deficioncy of the month of December was not the most remark- able and painful; in consequence of this the govern- ment has resolved to reduce the estimates by £50,000, by which many contemplated works were stopped. The government was justly alarmed—tho constor- nation was genoral, and the prospects of such as re- mained were frightful in the extreme. In ordor, if possible, to stem the tide of emigration, the gover- nor had offered a reward of £1,000 for the discovery ofa workable gold mino, within the colony, and had, in anticipation, not only issued regulations fixing the license fee at thirty shillings per mont! but, on the recommendation of tho legislative coun- cil, had suspended the operation of the regulations for one month as an additional encouragement to gold seckers. he Adelaide papers contain nume- rous accounts of gold discoveries; but much uncer- tainty prevailed on the subject. The Mayor’s Festival in London, SPEECHES OF THE EARL OF DERBY AND MR. ABBOT LAWRENCE. The Lord Mayor of London gave a grand civie on- tertainment on Easter Monday, at the Mansion House. The Karl of Derby, the Duke of Northum- berland, and most of the British cabinet, togethor with the corps diplomatique, and a brilliant assemb- lage, were present. In his speech the Premier only touched slightly upon politics, according to the es- tablished usage, but declared emphatically, that if the result of the ensuing genoral elections should demonstrat® that the present ministry does not command the confidence of the country, he would at once resign office and the anxieties of public life with far more of readiness than he had undertaken the arduous and painful responsibilities which that office imposed upon him. in reply tothe toast of the Lord Mayor to the corps diplomatique, Mr. Lawrenoe, the American minister, returned thanks, and said:— I have been requested by my brethren of the corps di- plomatique to offer my thauks to your lordship and to this company for the kindness with which you have received the last toast. I feel myself somewhat embarrassed, not being the oldest of the corps diplomatique on this occasion, in thus appearing bofore you; my only apology, however, is, that my colleagues fear that they cannot speak the Eng- lish language with sufficient accuracy to make them- selves understood. We thank you unitedly—we thank ‘ou most heartily—for the honor you have done us in affording us the opportunity of coming into the old city of London, and meeting here, not only the most distinguished persons of the city, but of the town, and of England itself. Deeply do we feel the prospe. rity which exists here, inasmuch as the countries we respectively represent. are deeply interested in the pros- perity of the city of Londo. (Cheers.) The glori- ‘ous links of commerce have united us—I speak now of all foreign countries—(bear)—in bonds stronger than those that can be made by treaties; and we desire, and hope, and believe. that if we are ageced upon nothing else, we are agreed that it is for our moral and our mate- rial interests that peace should be preserved, not only with all the world, but particularly with Great Britain— (great cheering)—and especially With the heart of Great Britain, the city of London, (Loud cheers and laughter.) On behalf of my colleagues and myself I again offer to you our thanks for this renewed testimony of your kind- hess—this renewod opportunity of visiting your city on this festive day—a day which has been so long celebrated. here. Many of us have partaken of the hospitality of his lordship’s predecessor; and I rejoice to add that we have an earnest to-night that the robes of office have been transmitted to one in whose hands the character of your chief magistrate, for hospitality, is not likely to suffer.

Wednesday, April 14—Tho downward movement in the prices of wheat appears to have caused a general falling off in the supplies. At the principal provincial markets held yesterday, (Liverpool, Leede, Hull. Lynn, and Spalding.) the quantity brought forward for sale was very limited: and. although no quot- ableadvance was obtained. yet the sellers had the turn in their favor, and more confidence appears to prevail that the downward tendency is checked, Here, in Mark- lane, a similar feeling exists; but the buyers were so completely baffled in their calculations by the late de- cline taking place without any assignable cause, tl they appear to be holding off till the shortness of t! supply actually drives the market up. ‘The fresh arrivals of all'grain this morning were universally small, yet no sensible effect was produced on the prices. ‘The business done was, however, at fully Monday's rates.

Caxoutra, March 6.—In resuming our usual weekly commercial report, interrupted for a short period by cau- sea which it is not necessary to explain, we are happy in being able to report a decided improvement in the posi- tion and prospects of mercantile matters, There has been a gradual amendment for some little time past. and, as compared with the eame period of last month, things are considerably improved. and appearances give promise of still further improvement. As regards the position of the export department of our business, operations have received a stimulus from the relaxing state of the monetary matters and the reduced rates of exchange on England. Both these circumstances have tended ina eat measure to stimulate demand for produce. and to ring speculators into the market who had hitherto re- frained from operations. Under the influence of the above causes, there is little doubt but that business would have been conducted ona still more liberal and extended scale but for the counteracting effects of reduced stocks of produce, scanty arrivals, and enhanced demands of holders. Latterly too, a slight advance in the rates of homeward freightage has lent its aid to repress the scale of business, Upon the whole, the position of the market for produce may be pronounced as satisfac- tory and progressive. and we are confident that, before long, it will show no small degree of vigor and activity, and atone for the long period of dull- ness and Inactivity which has just passed. Indigo has latterly improved in demand: and is at present in pretty active request. while prices have ruled more favorably for sellers. Business has been doing both by private and public sale, Demand has been more geno- ral forall sorts of «ugar.in consequence of which value haradvanced ashade, The market appears to be firm, although the reale of operations is not particularly heavy. Saltpetre has also been in more animated de- mand. particularly for the North American market. and vaiuehas been stendy. except for the finer sorts. which have advanced an anna or so per maund. For the home market business has been conducted on a restricted scale, Table rice has fallen into neglect in consequence of the advance of freights; very little bu«iness has been doing. al- though we aro unable to report a decided decline in value. Shell lac has been rather quiet for home shipments, but the Americans have operated sufficiently to keep prices from declining. Lae dye is in good request, at steady prices. with a tendency to improve. Silk corahs have been taken up to a very fair extent at previous valuation. Choppas and bandannas have been sparingly dealt in.

Others. however, are firm in their demands, and are holding over their teas until after the holidays, The rapid decline in the rate of exchange has execeded our most sanguine expectations. and buyers generally have been disappointed in obtaining bills at tates on which their sales of goods were based.

We have no change of consequence to report in the stock market to-day, Yesterday's prices were pretty well maintained. and the transactions about the usual extent.

Reading Railroad was by no means so buoy- ant as previously reported, and no buyers appear beyond the clique engaged in the corner. The Schuylkill Canal having passed through the freshets thus fur safe, there is greater probability of navigation continuing uninter- rupted throughout the season, ‘The canal has largely increased its tonnage up to this date this season, while the railroad has fallen off largely.

Itis apparently impossible, with all the abundance of money, with all the efforts made by the various cliques connected with the different fancies, with ail the facili- ties afforded by the banks, and with all the speculati feeling prevailing in the market, to get prices up beyond the points now current, and it would not surprise usin tke least if they took a turn the other way, and the bears realized what they have been long looking for, ‘The re- sumption of navigation in the canals of this State and the Western lakes, will, of course, give greater activity to business, and increase the demand for money for commer- cial purposes, This may have some influence upon the money market, and compel the banks to call in some of their loans on the hypotheeation of fancy stocks.
