Alsormert adjournment of the long, dull, aimless debate on the amendments to Mr. Disitaxtfs mo tion!

A grand banquet came off at the Bntiah Palace, Pere, on the 24th, to celebrate the joyous advent of . her Majesty's birthday. The guests were about 60 in number, comprising the Consul-General, with some principal members of the British colony—Lord W. Paulet, Admiral Grey, Generals Vivian and Mornay, of the Turkish Contingent, as well as several other officers of the army and navy. For the better accommodation of this numerous company, the table was laid in the state ballroom which, though still "lack-lustre" and incomplete, was sufficiently well lit up, and displayed to ,advantage a profusion of massive plate, the splendid candelabras and other elaborate decors .' mons. Although the dearth and extraordi nary scarcity of all the necessaries of life, at the present juncture, has reduced the " daily fare" in the City of the Sultan to almost Spartan simplicity, and threatens still more to reduce our per sons and our purses to • state of absolute inanition, the dinner was excellent, comprising every dainty, imaginable and every luxury, with the choicest wines I pleno vivo : in short the same good taste and princely hospitality of our noble host were displayed on this occasion, which invariably, I must say, dis tinguish his festive board. When he does the thtog, he is sure to do it well—and ci propos of this, on some such former occasion, a certain colleague and keen diplomatist observed, I recollect, " Oa voit, Sir Stratford, quo vows avez 4,e longtemps am bantam." The company sat down about eight, and I cannot say whether or not it may be considered as a favour able omen of the times, of better days for the Commonwealth. and of prospective reform in oar civil and military institutions—but I certainly re marked that the general aspect and tone of those present were unusually animated all looked cheery and of good heart, not excepting our noble host himself far more than I have had for a long time the happiness of witnessing on such occa- sions, and under existing circumstances. In point of fact, the conversation never once flagged; and, as many a tale went round, of wild adventure, of heroic valour, "of sieges, battles, moving accidents by flood and field "—the symposia' batteries popping in the rear played with continuous vigour on our convivial lines, but without any serious casualty, or, as I am proud to record, affecting in the least the strength and stability of our attitude. Neither were we left without a trophy from the real battle-field to enliven the scene, and which, like a good old soldier, his excellency bore off in triumph from some hot foray, during his late expedition to the camp. It is a sort of trian gular altar ornament, surmounted with a golden dove, but lacking the olive branch, alas ! and its panels, besides, inscribed with certain prayers and orthodox aspirations, in the shape of the testamen tary political edict of Peter the Great. 01 this, however, all I know is from hearsay, and I can not vouch for the fact: for, strange to relate, albeit the presence of three profound and panglot members of the dragoman staff, we were unable to muster in , the whole assembly philological wit enough to de , cipher those inceriptions and uuravel their precise import. After a couple of hours thus passed in convivial intercourse, and in true devotion to the inward man, our noble host rose at length to announce the great object of our meeting, and proposed the health of oar beloved Sovereign. It was hailed, I need not observe, as it ever is by her devoted subjects in every 1 corner of the globe, with enthusiastic cheers and acclamations. The band then struck up, and all hearts heaved responsive to the deep notes of our national hymn, and its spell no words can depict, be assured—on him, at least, whom fate has stamped a wanderer long and far away. The sunny days of childhood, youth, and "wild oats," home, country, friends, and affections, the memory of de parted worth, all rush on in one strange visionary group—a phantasm of light and shade, of bright and spectral lunges. Next came the health of his Majesty the Sultan, which the ambassador prefaced with a few words in allusion to our standing on the Turkish territory, and that the very ground on which the British Palace had been erected, with its spacious gardens, was as imperial gift to the British government. These sen timents were received with marked applause, and the 1 health of the young and magnanimous sovereign of these realms, drank with long and protracted cheers. After a short interval, Lord Radcliffe rose again to propose the health of our powerful and faithful ally, the Emperor Napoleon, and the very mention of this illustrious name awakened a degree of enthusiasm which I have really seldom witnessed on such occasions. The tout was drunk with loud hurrahs and "three times three "—nay more, an honourable gentleman, if my memory serves me right, voted another and an extra cheer, which was carried nem. cow, it is need , leas to observe, and with one loud and universal 1 acclamation. On this, for some moments, a profound t s ile nceto thanksgiving t n h s o u o e g a t a n o d f w all a t w e h r o e d a l b a t v e r i r y be oto d , o T t a o y d h , a to p , d i t o n h' for the interposition of Divine Provi dence in favour of him, in whose fate is involved not only the welfare and stability of his own France, bat in a great degree also the happiness and prosperity of all civilised nations. This is what was passing in my thoughts, and in those per of all present. The band was also mate and dumb-struck—l know not why, except that silence is 1 contagious, when, all of a sudden, Lord Redcliffe's chief gentleman, a smart, hale old fellow, and whom, by the way, he found in loco and in office, some halt century ago on his first arrival in this country—was seen to shoot along the lines, on some apparently im portanterrand from head-quarters. It was then, and not till then, that" Partant pour la Syria" rung upon the ear, and roused us all from our reverie ; and tt is really difficult to describe the deep feeling and enthusiastic emotion excited in all at the, thrilling sounds of the French national lay. l I wish there had been some Frenchmen present to contemplate this little scene, and hail it,, with the rest, as a bright and auspicious omen of the future—and of an alliance, based not on the political necessities of the moment, but on the hearts and lasting affections of both nations. The last toast given, and perhaps the only political incident of the evening, was the "Army and Navy." CllOll TIII We have received the St. Petersburg journals of 30th and 31st ult. They contain a long journal of the military, operations, sorties, &c., at Sebutopol from the 12th to the 19th ult., and telegraphic despatches from Prince Oortchakotf from the 23rd to the 27th. The latter are u follow : 8 ~,,,,,,,, MAY 23. Freedom by the fog, daring the night between the 21tt and the 22nd. we commenced the constraction of a trench of counter•spprosch opposite the cemetery, in advance of the bastions Nos. 6 and 6, and of lines from this trench towards the bastion No. 5, in order to set on the right flank of the enemy's approaches, which threatened this bastion; bat, owing to the rocky astern of the soil, it was found insposaiole to gine these counter-approaches sufficient depth. La the viewing of the 22nd, when we were about to resume the _,auca of the works, the enemy vigorously at tacked this point with seventeen battalions, without reck oning reserves. A combat of a most obstinate character lasted the entire night; several times c h arges were made with the bayonet; oar troops, numbering twelve battalions. fought heroically, and tle affair ended in the reptiles of the enemy with a very considerable loss. Unhappily the low was also very great on our side. We had 2,500 men put hors de combat. Amongst the slain is the brave Major .0 I Adlerberg, commander of the second brigade of the ninth division of infantry. The success with which this attack was repelled, hu in flamed the spirit of the g►rrison, and shown to the enemy how extreme will be the danger of an assault against the fortifications of Sebastopol, since, in spi.e of tte most extra ordinary ends, he has failed to take even a Wench barely traced out. Lut night nearly 20,000 of the enemy's troops left the Bay of lismieseb, on hued siz weasels and twenty steamers. This morning the fleet was signalled off Yalta. SEBASTOPOL, MAT 26. Yesterday, between one and two o'clock, p.m., the enemy's fleet with the troops on board approached the Gulf of Kertch. . _ _ This day, before Sebastopol, con.idsrable forces of the rummy are established won the heights of the left book of the Tehernsys, and have constructed • camp there which they appear to have the intention of fortifying. Our advanced posts occupy the right bank of the same SEBASTOPOL, MAT 27. Lient.-General Baron Wrangel, commaader of the troops in the peninsula of Kertch, announces that en the 24th some troops which arrived from Sebastopol on board the enemy's fleet, effected a dement near liamysch-Bouroun, and taking the battery of Paul, occupied Kerteb and Yinikali. Oar garrison, after having spiked its guns and destroyed as meek of the government stores and of the vessels se was possible, fell back without great loss upon the village of !Le gumes. It will be seen that Prince Gortcbakoff omits all reference to the engagement on the night of the 23rd, which terminated in the brilliant success of the French. The inhabitants of St. Petersburg are left to believe that the trench and the new works re mained in the occupation of the Russian troops. RUSSIA. ~1011111' OP THII DAILY NIVIL) ST. PE rERSBURO, MAY 28. Events, small and great. show plainly enough that both men and money are failing in Russia, so far as the purposes of the war are concerned. Vacancies occur in different branches of the public service, and are purposely not filled up, and some offices are even entirely suppressed, from motives of economy. But by far the most important measure taken of late by the government, and one cutting deepest into the social relations of, the people, is the new imperial ukase for completing and accelerating the thirteenth conscription in the seventeen provinces of the western half of the empire. The difficulty of rais ing the required number of recruits for the army is found to be so great that the minister of the domains has found it absolutely necessary to demand of the 'Czar permission to extend the age of the men re quired (generally between 20 and 25 years) to 30, and, if necessary, even to 35 years. By far the greater part of the men who have attained this age are married and have families, having, moreover, settled down to some fixed employment or trade, so that a vast amount of misfortune will be inflicted on thousands of happy and industrious families, who, deprived of their natural support from their earn ings, will be reduced to beggary and starvation. Must of these men aro cultivators of the soil, and the total amount of farm-work must be greatly reduced, and the productive power of the soil and the general material resources of the country seriously Impaired. An article in the feuilleton of this day's impression of the Northern Bee deserves notice, as being evi dently put there not without a specific pu , pose, for it is the only journal published here in which a cer tain latitude of expression is tolerated, and which occasionally even gives its readers a leading article on the political state of things and social questions ; and from this it is inferred, and indeed generally understood, that it enjoys the special and exclusive protection of the court, as it certainly is the organ of the educated and literary part of the public. The article in question is entitled " A conversation in Hades," and introduces to the reader Napoleon Duroc, and Marshal St. Arnaud, who, as the latest arrival from the upper world, gives au account of what is going 00, and particularly in the Crimea. The tendency of the article is to show that the close alliance so happily subsisting between England and France is most intensely unnatural, and militates against common sense, whilst the end of it is that the only sure guarantee for the peace of the world and the happiness of Europe is to be found in the intimate union and unbroken friendship and alliance between Russia and France. SWEDEN. (TROY TUN CORILESPONDENT OF THE DAILY NEWS.) STOCKHOLM, Jusir 1. The appointment of Baron Manderstibm as minis ter extraordinary to the court of Vienna, which I communicated to you per telegraph, is one of the moat important events of this year for Sweden, as it may fairly be called the hinge on which our foreign policy will be made to turn. The King can not be induced to depart from the neutrality he has hitherto maintained between the belligerents against the pre sure from France and England, and in the lace of the most liberal offers and formal guarantees of territorial possessions made by those two powers. Austria having shown unmistakeably that she does not mean to take an active part in the war, the Swedish King thinks the time favourable for a closer rapprochetnent to the cabinet of Vienna. Baron Manderstrom, who proceeds to the Austrian capital, has for many years occupied the important post of Chief Secretary of State for the Department of Foreign Affairs. The chief object of his mission is to negotiate at Vienna,if practicable, a sort of offen sive and defensive alliance for maintaining an armed neutrality amongst the powers of central Europe, in cluding those of Scandinavia, Italy, and perhaps the South-west. The idea is by no means new, but cir cumstances bad always interfered to prevent and mar the execution of this notable project. ANNUAL OATHERINO OF CNILDREN AT ST.
