dust consigned to persons in this country were deposited . The gold consigned to the captain was placed in small cubical mahogany boxes , on which were affixed the seal of the captain and that of the -person who committed the gold to his custody . These boxes were deposited in the bullion-room . That the bullion-room is not intact , but has been knocked to pieces , is proved beyond « a doubt by the fact that fragments of the cubical mahogany boxes , with seals onthem , have within the last few- days been fonnd along the beach . Nevertheless , the professional gentlemen who watch the operations of the clivers are very sanguine as to the recovery of the -ingots and specie . Of the recovery of the golddust the same hopes are not entertained .
The Franklin Suevivohs . —A public meeting has been held in Brighton on the subject of the search for Sir John Franklin . An address was delivered by Dr . King , so well known as an Arctic explorer in connexion with Sir Georgre Back ' s expedition to the Great Fish River . Dr . King strongly urged that another expedition should l > e despatched for the purpose of visiting the ships which were abandoned by Sir John Franklin , anil obtaining the records that were , no doubt , deposited there . He appeared to think that some miMiibers of the expedition might still he-in existence , and he urged that it was the duty of the Government to make a final effort to discover their fate—an effort which , with the discoveries that had been made , would cost a very small sum of money , and be absolutely certain to succeed . He also claimed for Sir John Franklin
the discovery of the North-west passage . Sir John JBOWRIN & ox China . —The ex-governor is delivering lectures on China to the Edinburgh Philosophical Institution ; he expresses his opinion to be , that the Chinese . race are now placed under a law of progress and improvement , of a great and elevating character , and which springs not up among themselves , but is imported to them from European countries . He . believes that China is in a condition "lo double and triple its supplies of tea , and might "be able to take no end of cotton from England .

The Congress And The Treaty. The Constit...
THE CONGRESS AND THE TREATY . The Constitutionnel of Thursday states that the late Prince Metternich himself was convinced that the conditions agreed upon at the Congress of 1815 could not be lasting , and exhorts the Italians to be practical , and not to endeavour tp advance too rapidly , and render the unity , of Italy a weak Counterfeit of the unity of France . It further states that if they are determined to carry out this union , the reforms granted will enable them to do so if they advance ¦ with prudence . The article terminates by expi'essing a hope that the Italians , will receive with deference the counsel of the powers of Europe , vrlio will go to the Congress full of feelings of sympathy for the Italian cause . The throe treaties were , signed , on Thursday , at the Hotel do Ville of Zuricli . A message "was received from Vienna stating that Austria would consent to the financial settlement proposed by France—namely , that Austria should receive 108 , 000 , OOOf ., instead of the 104 , 000 , Q 00 f . which she had previously demanded from France . THE REGENCY OF CENTRAL ITALY . Tub National Assembl i es of tiie Rornagua , Tuscany , Modena , and Parma have unanimously chosen as Regent of Central Italy , the Prince de Carignan , to govern the country in the name of Victor Emmanuel , the elected Icing . - The Presse says : —¦ Prince Eugene do Savoie Carignan , foprri in 1816 , admiral , and goneral-in-chief of the national guard of Sardinia , is the cousin of the king . If he accepts the office which has been conferred on him , it will he difficult not to consider that fact as a new pledge given by King Victor Emmanuel to tho cause of annexation and union . It may be observed also that this choice will give to Piedmont ; a greater share of responsibility-in the result of the Italian complications . VICTOR EMMANUEL AND ; NAPOLEON . It seems to be understood on the Continent that the King of Sardinia penned a reply to that letter of the Emperorof the French which excited so much attention on its publication a few days ago . It is stated ln > % he £ > iritto newspaper that Viator Einmanuol expreaaeS' his thanks to . France for the assistance rendered ) to -the cause of liberty , but pretty plainly Bivoa the Emperor to understand that fox the future tttt »< th © , voicO ' Ofthe people of Italy which must be obaJydaratU < v thaw tlw will of the Kronen Govern" ^•^ victor Emmanuel , therefore , wishes to sup-*< n ^*« Wlcy . very < Uflfor « nt from that which Louis
Napoleon has forecast * but it is Intimated that this policy will be only upheld bj' diplomatic means . A letter from Turin says : —It seems certain that the King of Sardinia has answered the French Emperqr ' s fetter , and one cannot but wonder that his reply should not be made public . You will have seen a single sentence reported uy the Diritto of Turin . It is now said here . that the King tells the Emperor that lie cannot adhere in the Congress to the policy of France touching the restoration of the deposed dynasties ; but he will promise not to give any armed aid to Central Italy so long as there is no military intervention there by any other TPower .
The Congress And The Treaty. The Constit...
GARIBALDI : TIIE FUND FOR ARMS . GO'EitArj Garibaldi has addressed a letter to the Modena Gazette , in which , after expressing his satisfaction at the great success which has attended his proposal of a subscription of a million of francs for muskets , he regrets his not being * able to undertake the management of so large a sum himself , but recommends subscribers to send their contributions to the fund to MM . . Enrico Besana , of Milan , and Giuseppi Finzi , of Mantua . The directors of the fund are to fix their residence at Bologna , under Garibaldi ' s own supervision , and there is to be ian office at Milan , charged to receive all further offerings . A letter from Florence says , that on the receipt of Louis Napoleon ' s letter , Victor Emmanuel summoned Garibaldi and Fanti to consult with him . The writer says that , " After the interview with the King -was over Garibaldi was heard to say that the hour for action was near at hand , and that both Victor Emmanuel and his ministers had finally determined to follow a more decided line of policy . I should not , therefore . ^ be surprised at all if the telegraph from Rimini should bring the news that Garibaldi is on the eve of crossing the Tavollo on his way to Pesaro . This at any rate is the opinion which , if I ani rightly informed , prevailed here this morning among official people . All sensible men in Florence believe now . that there is nothing to be expected from the ; Emperor ? and that * regarding the letter to the King as the last expression of the Imperial will , the only chance which remains for Italy is to take the matter in her own hands , and to force . Europe to accept her liberation as a- fait accompli Guribald ' i is just the man fur carrying out this bold plan with full success . "
The Pope And The Emperor. A Letter From ...
THE POPE AND THE EMPEROR . A letter from the Romagna informs us tliat a second edition of Louis Napoleon ' s famous letter was addressed to his Holiness of Rome . " It is however a more difficult task to deal with Popes and cardinals than the French Emperor thought at first . I am now in a position to state , on what I think good authority , that the Emperor ' s missive did not meet ' with a better reception at Rome than at Turin . Pius IX . has regarded the proposition of the Confedcnit ion as an absurdity , and has replied accordingly . The anger of Louis Napoleon was roused by the refusal of the Pope , and Count Walewski was directed to inform Cardinal Antonelli that since the Imperial will was not properly attended to he must make up his mind to have his Holiness ' s troops in Rotno , as the French would be recalled to France before the year was over . Thus matters stand now , and the state of affairs between France and Rome on the question of Central Italy is less encouraging than it has been for some days past . "
Spain And Morocco. Tub War Has Commenced...
SPAIN AND MOROCCO . Tub war has commenced be ' twen Spain and Morocco . On the 4 th , in the morning , a morocco gun-boat was captured ( says the Pays ) by the * Spanish warsteamer Alava , after an energetic resistance ., The Spanish Government Aare , however , in a difficulty , their Trench allies having left thorn in the lurch at the eleventh hour , " arid refused to perform their promise of , carrying them across the Straits . The published correspondence in reference to Morocco consists of communications which have passed "between England ami Spain on tho question of the Spanish occupation of Tangiers . Lord John RusseU Instructs Mr . Buchanan , at Madrid , to obtuin from the Spanish Government a declaration in writing that any occupation of Tamgiors which may be necessary by Spain in aimply seeking redress shall only bo temporary , ami shall only , therefore , last until a treaty of pence between Spain arid Morocco has boon ratified . The -result was a communication , signed \ ry Colldntes himself , under' tlio duto of 6 th October , in which it is declared that the Cabinet of Madrid do not want territorial aggrandisement , but only aqok ¦ what is called the honour and dignity of tho " nation . Mr , Buchanan , on tho 24 th of October , writoa to make Lord John Russell acquainted with tho circumstance that Spain , as alleged , wonted a cession from Morocco of several miles of territory on the
j coast of the Gibraltar Straits . Mr . Buchanan sent a communication to Senor Collantes , expressing the objections which the . English Government entertained to this . Senor Collantes writes that while it is impossible to say what may arise . in the course of the war , his Sovereign has no intention to occupy any point on the Straits whose position could afford to Spain a superiority dangerous to navigation .
The Breslau Interview. It Is Stated That...
THE BRESLAU INTERVIEW . It is stated that at the interview held at Iireslau the Emperor of Russia and the Prince Regent of Prussia determined not to consent to a revision of the treaties of 1815 , or to take part in any Congress in which England should' not be represented , the ' last resolution being proposed by Prussia . The Prussian Gazette publishes an article of which the following is a summary : —The Allgemeine Zeituug insists on ° ils statement that the interview between the Emperor of Russia and the Prince Regent of Prussia had a tendency hostile to England . The same paper pretends that Prussia had entered upon the policy of France and Russia to isolate England * and had promised to maintain an unconditional neutrality in case war should be declared by France against England . To support these absurd insinuations the Allgemeine Zeitung refers to the imaginary statements of some Prussian newspapers which are known to belong to the Opposition press , and which have a self-understood interest to disfigure every step of the Government for the sake of obtaining a basis for attacks against it .
China. Tub News By The Last Overland Mai...
CHINA . Tub news by the last overland mail from Hong Kong is to the 28 th September , but is very unimportant . The ratification of the American treaty has produced no change in commercial matters . We learn that the Taku forts have been repaired and strengthened , and the general bearing of the Chinese leads to the belief that they contemplate resistance . His Excellency the Hon . Frederick Bruce remains at Shanghai . Admiral Hope is still at Lookong . The Hoa . William Ward , American Minister , " has gone to Japan , where matters remain , in an unsettled state . Twelve Russian ships of war are at Jeddo ; Three men belonging to this force have been munleiel , and seriaus const .: iuences are not improbable . la Cochin China fresh , hostilities have been commenced by the Anamese , who attacked the French intrenehments , and were repulsed with loss . At Canton all remains quiet . The China Mail of the 28 th September says , "Little has beon stirring during the lust fortnight , and we are waiting for news from England as to the policy which will bo decided on toward the Chinese government . It is apprehended , and not without good reason , that in the event of a new war being determined on , the Chinese , will learn tlr . it long before a sufficient force can be assembled ; that Senn-ko-H ' n-sin and the war party will consequently gain the ascendency in the councils of the Court of Pekin ; and that some general attempt , if not by open warfare , yet by sucrct and Chinese moans , may bo made on the forc ? ignei-s on the coast of China , and especially on those at Shanghae . It is rumoured that though the Anterieun treaty has boon ratincd by the Emperor , it has been notified to his Excellency Mr . Ward , that it will not be allowed to coino m force until some arrangement has been made- wiU > the French and British ministers . If true , this is not to be wondered at , us , otherwise , many uwltwnra complications might arise . In noticing the refusal to give tho American minister an audiunuo with me Emperor , on the ground that tho minister would not bend on ono knee , we omitted to mention that tie Chinose had before them tho precedent <> ' * | Britisli minister , Karl Majurcnoy , who .
