From the Australian July 10, 1846. A single paper, the Atlas (edition for India), of 24th March, arrived on Tuesday to a merchant iv Sydney via' Calcutta , Manila, Launceston, and Hobart Town, respectively; and by him was handed to .the Sydney Herald. The following lis a brief summary of its contents. (Onr readers will recollect, that our previous intelligence was up to the 7th of March.) i The Tariff Bill was still in the Commons. We had understood the Corn part was to be detached and debated separately, and sent up to the Lords for better dispatch, in order that the ports might be opened for Indian corn or maize. It' seems this is not the case. Government, however, are importing maize on their own account, for the use of Ireland. The Protectionists contest the new Tariff in all and every article. The greatest stand was made on Timber. Bat every thing had been catried by good majorities, up to the 24th of March. Opposition seemed quite useless. But the greater battle is still to be fought in the Lords. There is danger there still. The Americans seem to be giadually coming to their senses on the Oregon question. * Still there is danger. If war takes place, it will be as popular a one as England ever undertook ; and privateering (alias buccaneering) will be the order of the day by both nations. , It will be a deadly and a' plundering feud on the high seas. An Officer for the Carysfort t man-of-war, was not appointed until the 21st March. We need not therefore expect the -new Governor fora few da>s. Mr. F. Dillon .Bell had been approved of by the Queen as Prussian Consul at New Zealand. The 24th Regiment, formerly under orders for this colouy, had been ordeied to India ; and the I remainder of the 65th Regiment, consisting ofsix hundred men, was to be s>ent out to Sydney immediately. Poland seems to be in a dreadful state from the discovery of their plot against the tluee Powers. Russia, Austria, and Prussia are all I hunting down the disaffected. Three thousand I of these insurgents have lied to the Carpathian \ mountains, between Gallicia and Hungary. The peasautry of and about Cracow were destroying the insurgent Poles under circumstances of great barbarity. Missßurdett Coutts had presented £30,000 to the Church of England, through .the Bishop of London, f«r the purpose of erecting a new Church at Westminister-.
