Suspicious . —It has transpired that about two or three months back one of the principal chart-sellers in London received an order simultaneously from the French and Russian Governments , to the extent of 500 ^ . each , for a number of copies of each of the charts and surveys of the English coast and fortified places , as well as those of our stations in the Mediterranean , &o . Struck by the magnitude of the order , he considered himself bound to mention it to the Admiralty , but no objection was made to its being' executed . About three weeks back a similar order , to the amount of 300 Z ., came from the Spanish Government ; and to-day fresh orders of 500 ? . each
have arrived from France and Russia . In thi £ case the charts of the ports and coasts of our Indian possessions are included . The Admiralty , of course ,, are not to be blamed for sanctioning the sale , because if a refusal wei'e given the required copies could oasily be obtained by indirect means . —Times . The Fkencii in Cochin-China . —There has evidently been a subtle and pre-conceived policy at work , which has led to the transference of the French fleet and the ; enlisting of Spanish mercenaries to carrj' on a war of aggression and acquisition of territory , with the ultimate object of conquering Cochipt-Ghina—a country with which other foreign
powers had no connexion nor trade , and against the people of which there was an old standing grievance to redress . But they do mot seem to have demanded redress , and territorial acquisition appears clearly the object . W " e cannot but regard the formation of a naval and military dopot at Touron by a , powerful European State , as fraught with expense and annoyance to the permanent interests of Great Britain , both as respects the trade of the China Sea and the Straits settlements . So long as the French expedition was intended to throw open Cochin-China to trade , or to insure an adequate retribution for the frightful cruelties committed on the Roman Catholic missionaries , it had our hearty sympathy . But the extension of French dominion in Cochin-China , or even the foundation of a powerful French
settletnpnt ; involves questions of the most grave importance . * It is no light thing for England to lose that isolation ? which has been so long one of the most valuable attributes of the Eastern empire . Hitherto the British empire in Asia has had no enemy within 10 , 000 miles capable even of a pienace . —China Telegraph . Ouuroii Matters in Knigixtsihudgis . —On Tuesflay the parishioners pfKnightsbridge * had their annual vestry for the qlection of churchwardens , and there was the ordinary exciting scone , arising fronv the religious differences which continue to agitato the happy flock of the Hon . and ftev . Mr . XriddeM . The incumbent was in the chair , nncl Colonel Veroker and Mr . Wcstorton assailed his practices in strong language . Mr . Wostorton was again nominated as a churchwarden , but ho declined to serve .
