A strange procession entered the Royal Mint yesterday evening ;

five waggons and a cart bearing Chinese silver to the value of 1,000,000 dollars, escorted by a detachment of the Sixtieth Regiment, and followed by a crowd of people. The money is part of the indem- nity under the Nankin treaty ; it was brought to Portsmouth by the Modeste sloop-of-war on Thursday ; and was conveyed to town by the Southampton Railway. In the Minories, one of the large wooden boxes containing the Sycee silver burst ; but none of the precious metal was lost.
