- EXTRAORDINARY FRAUD. AT JSCONDING OF HER MAJESTY'S CONSUL AT THE DARDANELLES. (From the Slapping and Mercantile Gazette.) A most extraordinary but deep-laid scheme has rf.cently been disclosed, in which suspicion attaches o no less a person than Mr. Calvert, her Majesty's consul at the Dardanelles, and sub-agent to Lloyd's (who has since absconded). The accusation is, that in the early part of last year Mr. Calvert wrote to Mr. W. Abbott, carrying on business in London , and a relative by marriage, to effect an insurance at Lloyd's for a f r i en d o f hi s (M r . C a l ver t) at Con stantinople, whom he named Hussein Aga, a, for 1:12,000 o n a T ur ki s h s hi p , th e P oss idhon, lying in Turkish waters, loading with oil for Falmouth or Cork, and directing him to raise money (L 2,000) , ou the bills of lading to be remitted to him, and afterwards, a further advance of £l,OOO on another bill of lading for the remainder of the cargo ; and that afterw•lrds he, acting in capacity of sub-agent to Lloyd's,, -telegraphed to Lloyd's that a large ship had been 'seen in flames off the coast of Lemnos. The Possidhon not afterwards being heard of, he made a, representation that it must have been the PossieAVion that was seen in flames, and sent the necessary documents and certificates, with the offi .cial seals of the consul, to establish the claim r' inst the und erwr it ers f or t h e t o t a l l oss o f 'LhePossidhon. Ci rcums t ances occurr i ng o f a sus -picious character, induced the salvage committee ,connected with Lloyd's to make inquiries at Con stantinople, and the result proved that neither the Possidhon nor cargo ever existed ; that there was no such person as Hussein Aga ; and that the bills of lading, clearance papers, certificates, and docu ments were all fictitious. The affair, it will be seen, has been brought before the government by the salvage committee, and Earl Russell has dismissed the consul, and another gentleman has been ap pointed to the office. The case is somwhat compli cated, but the subjoined details, being extracts of letters wTitten by Mr. Calvert, will explain all the circumstances " Dardanelles, Jan. 23, 1861. " A Turkish friend, who has the management of come extensive olive groves near Adramytti, which belon g to several of the great pachas at Constanti n 3 pie, is at present on the point of shipping a cargo f)f oil, which he has requested me to address for sale to some person in England in whose integrity I can repose implicit confidence, and with whom his money would be safe when encashed. He will re quir3 but very moderate advances, and only after the bills of lading are placed in my possession. I feel, therefore, that I could not do better than con -Ide the business to you, &c. . . For the present, however, the brig Possidhon, a new vessel, built in the Danube, is about to begin loading the cargo of oil in question, and will take from 200 to 230 tons weight of oil, to be delivered in any port in the United Kingdom, this vessel calling at Falmouth ar Cork for orders. You had better, therefore, in sure at once in your name, and a t their value, 200 tons of olive oil, to be shipped as above mentioned in the Gulf Adramytti; and when you receive the bills of lading you may then insure the rest of the cargo. I trust you will have sufficient funds in hand to enable you to do this ; and as soon as you get the bills of lading you can ohta.in an advance on them from a broker, and re place the money whenever it may suit. (Signed) " W. CALVERT. To W. Abbott, Esq." " Dardanelles, March 6, 1861. " I have just heard from Hussein Aga about the cargo oil per Possidhon. It appears that he has nut been able to complete the cargo as soon as he expected, and it will probably be another fortnight before the vessel starts. In the meantime he has sent you a bill of lading for the portion of cargo already on board, and has drawn on you for £2,500, and sent the bills to me to negotiate. In the pre sent state of the money market there is not the Tightest chance of my being able to do so, but I have already advanced him £5OO which I borrowed, and shall do my best to get him a further supply to satisfy him for the present, and in the meanwhile .shall hold his bills on you. I hope that you will be able to get an advance of £2,500 on the bill of lad ing, which you should send me in cash as soon as you can ; and when you get the bill of lading for the balance you would get £l,OOO more advanced, which would enable you to replace the money paid for insurance policy, pay freight, and anticipate, if requisite, on your commission. . . Please to telegraph to me when you are certain of being able to send out specie for Hussein Aga only, as all mes sages which arrive here by telegraph are known shortly after all over the town. You need not be very explicit. You might say, for example—' Have obtained amount (or whatever portion of it), and will forward same (specifying the day).' (Signed) " W. CALTERTe " To W. Abbott, Esq." " Dardanelles, April 3. " Yours of the 21st of March is duly at hand. The enclosure for Hussein Aga has been sent to him, with a translation. You have, however, made a mistake in acknowledging the receipt of the bills of lading for 1,020 quintals of oil, whereas it should he 3,020. I have therefore rectified the error in the original. that the bills of lading for the balance of the Pos aidhon's cargo will be forwarded by you by this mail, but I have not yet heard of the arrival in town of Hussein Aga's clerk. After writing to you to obtain advances on the cargo of the Possidhon, I very soon came to the conclusion that it would not be possible for you to succeed in doing anything that way ; and now that you confirm my expecta tions, I have sent word to Hussein Aga that if he require funds he must negotiate his own drafts to the extent for which he has value on you, but that I Can give him no further assistance beyond £5OO al t!v.dy advanced, and for which I will make shift, nAI h es t can, t ill you can ma k e me a rem itt ance . , Abbott, Esq." (Signed) " W. CALVERT." Another letter instructs Mr. Abbott to effect an insurance on the oil for £12,000. The bills of lading were sent shortly afterwards, and the in- Fatrances were effected. The premiums became due on the n th of 'May, and on the Bth of May Mr. Abbott obtained an advance of £1,500 from Messrs. Bevan, Cole, and Harris, oil brokers, on deposit of the bills of lading and policies of insurance. The Premiums were paid at the proper time out of the vessclsailefd same month money so advanced. On the 4th April Mr. Calvert issued a clean bill u health (which is the same asa..Cllsatonmd•ibtowuases the era Adramytti clearance in England) of the Possidhon, there spccified that the on the 6th April. On the 28th o t h e post of gent to Mr. Calvert, who also filled Lloyd's, sent to Mr. Black, Lloyd's a gent . f a might breetoll stantinople, a loss, in order that it o n e t i h e graphed to Lloyd's. It was as follows : e night of the Bth April, a vessel had been seen, 40 miles off the Island of Lemnos, furiously burning, a heavy gale of wind blowing at the time." The Possidhon not arriving in England when she became due, and Mr. Abbott being pressed by Messrs. Bevan, Cole, and Co., who had made the advances, wrote to Mr. Calvert on the subject. In due time a reply was received. It was as follows: "Dardanelles, Aug. 8, 1861, " You seem to be expecting news of the Possid ton from me, whilst I am expecting to hear of her from you; but, as you say, her remaining out so tong is beginning to become a serious matter. Strange to say, I hear nothing of Hussein Aga, who is somewhere between this and Syria, I be lieve, but do not know the precise locality. "To W. Abbott, Esq." (Signed) "W. CALVERT, "Dardanelles, Aug. 28, 1861. " I have not a word yet. from Hussein Aga, which is very provoking, to say the least, and all I can do for yen at pr(sent, in this matter is to send you a. o-tificate (for which phase credit, me 55.) showing date of the Possidhon's clearance. She did not, 40w cvert start till April 6, hut as she has not been Heard of sine!, 1 roust confess that I begin to enter tain very serious apprehensions on her account. In she wi l l b e identified w i th a fact I now fear that vessel w bi c h was met at sea on the night of the Bth April lest, 40 m iles o$ Le mnos , burning furiously, . ivlailat a heavy gale of wind was blowing at the time, so that it was feared that all hands on board must have perished, and this may account for no tidings having been heard of the vessel. As I had always been under the impression that tl,e strong, fair wind which blew for some tim e a ft er the Pos sidhon left bad carried her a long w.y down the Mediterranean) I did not even give a thought about her when I first heard of a s hip h av i ng b een seen o n fire, so that the subject was di sm is s ed from my thoughts in a few d a y s a ft er th e 28th o f Ap r il, w hen I made my report to Mr. Black, who will no doubt have forwarded it to Lloyd's. Now, how ever, the more I think of the matter, the more I an, led to fear that the very worst has happened to the unfortunate vessel. I shall do my best to make further inquiries on the subject, and let you know the result. In the mean while, allow me to say that I really think that you are taking a very extreme view of the case, in imagining that anybody can possibly think bad of you on account of what has taken place. I sincerely feel confident that the result will plainly show quite the contrary ; but even supposing for a moment that it finally appears that the captain had actually committed an act of barratry, how could any blame be possibly attached to you for his acts, which are wholly without your control, and which if I mis take not, form one of the risks which the under • writers expressly guarantee you against, and, now I remember it, made the grounds for enacting a heavier rate of premium from you. I have no time to write at greater length to-day, but will resume the subject next week if any new idea strikes me, or if any fact comes to my knowledge respecting the missing vessel which is likely to prove of in terest to you. (Signed) W. CALVERT. " To W. Abbott, Esq." Instructions were thereupon sent to Mr_ Calvert to obtain certain documents in support of a claim for a total loss against the underwriters. The answer received was this : " Dardanelles, Sept. 25, 1861. " Yours of the 12th inst. reached me in due course of post. I received at the same time originaltheeapress letter from Major, of which you sent me copy. I reply to him to-day that I wil l, when an opportunity offers, communicate to the shipper of the oil all that is requisite for him to doin order to recover the insurance, should the Possidhon doubt aware ,s , t o that obtain i a t it is n behalf' have been lost in the manner I have sur mised. On the other hand, you n o are of Llo my duty, as acting on whatever information I can collect on the sub ject, but rather with a view of protecting the underwriters than assisting others to recover money from them. I have on several occasions acted very efficaciously on their behalf in this way, and only very lately, at the instance of Messrs. Mordee and Dixey, insurance brokers, of Cannon-street, I was the means of saving several thousands of pounds to the underwriters of a French steamer, called the St. Felin, by means of the information I collected, and received £144 for my trouble, or 2 per cent, on the sum originally insured. In the same way, if Major, in reply to my letter, authorises me to incur expense in collecting information, I will set to work in good earnest, and will leave it to the underwriters to fix the amount of my personal re muneration according as I may eventually prove to have been of more or less service to them. Turks are sometimes very curious fellows to deal with ; but in all my dealings with them—and they have been, as you know, to a considerable extent—l have always found if they once trust a person they gene rally place an almost unbounded degree of confi dence in him. I fancy it is the same case with Hussein Aga, who will no doubt, before long, give a good account of himself. What a great pity it will be if the oil be, after all, lost in such an un satisfactory way, when the prospects for its sale are so very favcurable ! Almost every telegram that I receive now makes me hope, before opening it, that it is to announce the unexpected arrival of the Pos sidhon in England, but I am losing hope every day. I have sent Major an extract of my report for Lloyd's, sent to Mr. Black on 23d April last. (Signed) " W. CALVERT. " To W. Abbott, Esq," The following is a letter of Mr. Calvert, men tioned in the last : " Dardanelles, Sept. 25, 1861. " I will not fail, as soon as I have an opportunity, to inform the shipper of the oil per Possidhon of the proof which it will be necessary for him to fur nish, in order to substantiate his claim on the under writers, should it unfortunately turn out that my surmise respecting this vessel may prove to be but too true. " I shall endeavour, also, on my part, to collect any information on the subject which may be of interest to your underwriters ; but, previous to in curring any expense, it would be desirable that I should have your authority to do so, if requisite, for account of your friends, whose interests, I need not say, will be well looked after. " On referring to my reports for Lloyd's I find that on the 23d April last I wrote, through Mr. Black, as follows :—' An Ottoman bombard, which arrived on the coast of Troy laot week, reports hav ing met with a vessel on fire, about 40 miles south of Lemnos, on the night of Monday, the Bth inst., but it was blowing a heavy gale at the time from the north, so that no boat could live in the sea, and it is to be feared that all hands must have perished, as the ship was completely destroyed.' "To Major, Esq." (Signed) "W. CALVERT. "Dardanelles, Oct. 10, 1861. " I am still without any news to give you of the Possidhon. I can learn nothing of her from Lem nos ; but another circumstance has lately tended to make me believe still more in the possibility of the burning vessel having been identical with her, and this is that a baud of pirates have been infesting the Archipelago for some months past, and have been cruising between Mytelene, 'Penedos, Lemnos, Imbron, Samothrace, &c. I see by the papers that a Turki , ll Government steamer is cruising after them, but has not yet succeeded in catching them. They are commanded by an lonian. Now, it is very possible that they may have boarded the Pos sidhon in the comparatively light winds and calms which existed about the time when she sailed, and, after plundering her of what they could carry away, set fire to her to destroy all traces of their mis deeds. Some of her crew may even have joined the band, so that if they are caught I shall be on the look-out, and endeavour to be present at their examination. But this is, after all, only a presumption on my part. If the under writers authorise me to go to any expense to obtain information, I dare say I shall he able to arrive at some positive information on the subject; but, as it is very probable that such information might be solely beneficial to Hussein Aga, one can scarcely expect them to incur additional expense. You might therefore, I think, guarantee to them a return of such expenses, should the result be to establish Hussein Aga's claim. About /20 or £3O would, I think, cover actual disbursements. (Signed) " W. CALTERT. " To. W. Abbott, Esq." "Dardanelles, Oct. 23,1861. "Yours of the 10th and Major's of the 4th inst. both ea t " 0 having been handkept only to-day, the French packet weather, five t days behind her time by the We have, in fact, constantly hexacdeasssivueccton ()the. the last 10 days, whi c h Severe that I have satisfactorily ex plainedgales from the N.E. for yesiellefl,o_setteivery trying weather for ' So much out of doors. tyhoous willew who, of my reply to os,eeli,kebym the motive which led me .._ Major's lust letter, to k - s which might s b him to gua rantee any expense • 0 incurred in getting the information re quired in order to enable you to recover the insurance on Possiahotes cargo I never suspected the possi bilit y of an y foul prac . . tice on the part of any one concerned it, this un fortunate affair, until the tenor of your letters led me to think about the matter, and then only it was the possibility of the crew having acted in cot t , plicity with pirates, and having destroyed the ves sel otter plundering her. But even if such a con tingency may have occurred, although I would, as in duty bound, use my utmost endeavours to cause the offenders to be - • punished with the utmost rigour of the law, and also to recover any of the stolen property I could lay hands on for the benefit of the underwriters, this fact would by no means invalidate your claim for insurance, so you need not be under any apprehension on that party until further and more definite information score, although I shall certainly do all I possibly can, by means of the expenditure you have sanc tioned, to arrive at the real facts connected with the loss of the Possidhon. To the best of my know ledge the hull of the vessel was not insured at all, for the captain wanted to have her registered and classed in England for that purpose,but did not like the idea, with the hard times for shipping which then ruled, to incur the heavy expense of insuring her for the voyage, while, as he remarked, he would be on board to take care of her. This fact is suffi cient to preclude the idea of anything wrong on his part, but will render it impossible to comply with one of Major's requisitions. It will be difficult also to get a declaration from the captain of a vessel who met the burning ship. None was made here, as it would have entailed unprofitable expenses on the captain to do so, and might possibly have given him much trouble with the quarantine people here, who are always too ready to give pretexts to put vessels into quarantine. It was principally on this account that 1 thought some expenses would have to be in curred to find the whereabouts of the said captain and get his declaration. It would, moreover, have been a most difficult matter to accomplish, and have entailed much loss of time, so I am glad to have fallen on a clue which will enable me to obtain this information from another quarter. I therefore trust before long to be able to collect sufficient evidence on the subject of the unfortunate Possidhon to satisfy all parties concerned. I need not say I never had the slightest suspicion of anything wrong on the part of Hussein Agl ~who could have had no possible motive for behaving oth erwise than uprightly and moreover, that he strongly re at having had t o p a y a h eav y honestly monstrat . e d T w h i e t h f a m c t e , i nsura nce premium,which like most Turks he thought a Per fe voucher superfluous it em o f expen dit ure , i s anotherucher for his pe r f ec t goo d f a ith. lam glad t o find that, in one respect, the consignment of t h e Possidhon's car go h as b een o f serv i ce t o y ou ,f or I began to fear that all the annoyance and trouble it seemed to be giving might have made you regret that you had ever acted upon my recommendation, though it was given entirely with a view to benefit yourself. (Signed) " W. CALVERT. " To W. Abbott, Esq." "Dardanelles, Nov. 21, 1861. " I have sent you to-day, in a separate letter, official size, four documents relating to the Possid hon, together with my comments thereon, to which I refer you. I may here add, for your private in formation, that it appears that several vessels fell in with part of the wreck of the burnt vessel ; but although I may be able to find the captains by dint of perseverance, I must doubt whether any of them would voluntarily make any statement on the sub ject, for no doubt but that most, if not all of them, will have picked up whatever they could lay hold of, and will not willingly say anything which might possibly give rise to claims being preferred against them, or at any rate, get them into a scrape with the quarantine people for having, no matter how long ago, had communication with the remains of a vessel which was not positively ascertained to have had a clean bill of health. If this had been known at the time, each vessel that had had any thing to do with the wreck would undoubtedly have been subjected to 10 days' quarantine—a most ridiculous regulation certainly, but which is never theless enforced here with the utmost rigour. This will serve to make you understand why so little has been heard of the burnt ship, until I have gra dually ferreted out such information as I have been able to get. I have every reason to believe that the Possidhon's longboat has been found on the Island of Lemnos, but communications with that island are so few and so uncertain, and it is so diffi cult to arrive at the real truth of anything of the sort, that I am not at all certain of being able to make sure of the facts. However, lam still doing all I can to collect further information, iu case that the documents which I send you are not sufficient to establish the fact of the loss of the Possidhon, which I can scarcely imagine will be the case ; and so, if you find that more documents are wanted, you had better, to save time, inform me thereof al once by telegraph. (Signed) " To W. Abbott, Esq."; " Dardanelles, Nov. 21, 1861. " I forward to you herewith unclosed tho follow. ing documents, which can leave no further doubt as to the fate of the unfortunate Possidhon and her crew : " 1. A certificate from the harbour master of Tenedos, to which port the vessel belonged, stating the date of her departure from thence, and also that it is not the custom of the owners there to in sure their vessels. " 2. A certificate from the consular agent at Tenedos, stating the date when the vessel left that port, and also that no further news had since been received of her. " 3, A certificate from the consulate of the Dar danelles, giving the result of inquiries made at Avagit respecting the vessel and her cargo. " 4. A certificate from the agent of Samos, at the Dardanelles, respecting a statement made to him by the captain of a vessel that passed at sea the remains of a ship which had been destroyed by fire, and which had evidently been laden with oil. " It appears to me that no other documents will now be necessary to establish your claim on the un derwriters on behalf of Hussein Aga, " It is very doubtful whether I shall ever be able to fall in either with the captain who made the re port to the Samos agent, or with the other one, from whom was derived the information reported by me to Mr. Black for transmission to Lloyd's, towards the end of April last ; but it appears to me that, as these two statements corroborate one another, it would be superfluous to seek any longer for a direct statement from either of the captains for the pur pose of proving the fact that the Possidhon was de stroyed by fire. The fact, also, that she was not insured, and that the captain, who perished, was the principal owner, speak for themselves. If, however, any fur ther evidence is required, pray let me know at once what is wanted, and I shall do my best to procure it for you. BOME. is received from me. " W. CALVERT. (Signed) " To W. Abbott, Esq." " Dardanelles, Feb. 12, 1862. " You will have understood, from the nature of my telegram of the 9th inst., to which I have already received a reply, that my worst suspicions had been confirmed with respect to the most unfor tunate affair of the Possidhon ; and I can only now add, that I have already ascertained quite sufficient in a quiet way to warrant me in writing that I am now convinced that such a shipment was never made at all. I will not go further into details for the present, as I am still engaged in slowly un ravelling the details of this wonderful and most barefaced imposition on my good faith and credu- lity. I feel naturally most vexed and mortified at all that has occnrred, but, at the same time, most thanktul that my eyes were opened in time to pre vent matters from going on any further than they actually did. I also need scarcely assure you how sincerely I sympathise with you on account of the false position in which you have been placed, or how very anxious I am to do all in my power to assist in relieving you as soon as possible. Had all this business happened in about six months hence, I would then have been, in every probability, in a position to remit you the money at once ; and after having thus enabled you to repay Messrs. Bevan and CO., the amount you have received from them, would subsequently have agreed to any arrange . . ment for being gradually repaid by you which might best suit your purpose. But since this is now quite out of the question, it is necessary to have recourse to other expedients, and to the assist ance of friends. After receiving your first telegram I, therefore, at once combined matters so as to obtain any advance required by you, not exceeding £1,500, on your making certain engagements on . . _ behalf of Bartable and Co. for the gradual re. payment of the money by monthly instalments. My idea was that you should refund the whole amount (suppose £1,500), which would be ad vanced to you in three weekly payments of £5OO each, by 15 monthly payments of £lOO each, the first of which would fall due, say on the 15th of May, the regularity of these payments, and their punctual fulfilment being guaranteed by my de positing some property here with the friends who will advance the money, so soo❑ as anything defi- nite can be established with respect to the amount required and terms of repayment. (Signed) " To W. Abbott, Esq." As the investigation proceeded at Constantinople it became evident that not only the oil, but even the Possidhon, never existed ; and in answer to an ap- " W. CALTERT. plication for an explanation upon the subject of certain official documents bearing the consul seal, &c., Mr. Calvert wrote as follows : " Dardanelles, May 15, 1862. " Sir,—l reply to your letter of yesterday's date, I have to state that the document which Imentioned confidentially to you yesterday as having emanated from the Mudir of Aivajik has evidently been made out with a view to deceive me, as well as to screen the authors from the possible consequences of dis covery, inasmuch as, since my suspicions as to the bona fide nature of the shipment per Possidhon have been aroused, I have found:out that the seal attached to the declaration in question are not the official seals of the Mudir, nor of the other authorities of Aivajik. The document is therefore valueless as an official statement. " But, on the other hand, the paper in question is likely to prove of very great service to me, as by means of the seals and some private information re lative to the matter which I possess, I have little doubt of being able to trace out, with the promised aid of her Majesty's ambassador, the authors of the conspiracy of which I have been made the uncon scious instrument. " With a view to secure this desirable result, it is of the utmost importance that these persons should have no previous notice of the possibility of my following up the clue which the possession of this document affords me; and, as no advantage could possibly ensue from your forwarding it to London, I trust that you will see the necessity of its not being copied by, or even for the present exhi bited to, any person here. " In compliance, however, with your wishes, I shall request his excellency the ambassador to allow Mr. Sandison to make a copy of the docu ment, and will hand it to you on the understanding that you consider it as a strictly confidential com munication until I have made all the use I require of it as a clue to the perpetrators of this extra ordinary imposition. "Should you require a translation, you will of course get it done at Cons:an tinople.—l am, sir, your obedient servant, (Signed) F. W. CALVERT. " P.S.—Enclosed is an extract from my books of the entry of the Possidhoa's bill of health. "—Hopper, Esq., Constantinople." At length the matter issumed such a character that the committee of Lloyd's Salvage Association resolved to appeal to the Government, and the secretary (Mr. Harper) was in the act of preparing a statement of the facts to lay before Earl Russell, when a telegram was received from Constantinople informing the committee that the ambassador had ordered an inquiry into the conduct of Mr. Calvert in the matter, but that It was limited to a charge of departure from the strict routine of office in issuing a clean bill of health to the Possidhon without pre vious production of the unual Turkish documents. The committee, considering that the whole matter should be thoroughly sifted, the secretary was re quested to proceed at one to Constantinople. He went to the Foreign-office, and an order was sent by telegram to the ambassador to suspend the in quiry till the arrival of the secretary in Constanti noble, and on his arrival to allow him to be present at the proceedings. On Mr. Harper's arrival at Constantinople, he was informed by the ambassador that Mr. Calvert had absconded, consequently it would be useless to proceed with the inquiry. Upon which Mr. Harper applied to the Supreme Court for a warrant for the apprehension of Mr. Calvert. The Embassy was applied to examine Mr. Tolmides, the consular agent for Mr. Calvert at Tenedos, and the parties whose names were affixed to the documents in question. This was granted. Tolmides, in his examination, admitted that all the instruments bearing the official seal of the consul were false as regarded the purport of their contents ; that they had been obtained by Mr. Calvert, with Tolmides' signature to them, and afterwards himself filled up the holy of each docu ment. Since then nothing has been seen or heard of Mr. Calvert, the officers having failed to effect his arrest. The following official communication was received at Lloyd's on the 17th inst., announcing the course pursued by the Government in the matter : " Foreign-office, August 16, 1862. " Sir,—With reference to my letter of the 11th inst., I am directed by Earl Russell to inform you that his lordship has instructed her Majesty's am bassador at Constantinople to suspend the inquiry instituted is reference to the fraud alleged to have been attempted by Mr. Calvert, her Majesty's consul at the Dardanelles, on the underwriters at Lloyd's, until the warrant for that gentleman's arrest, issued by the Supreme Consular Court at Constantinople, can be served upon him. I am to add that the report alluded to by you of confessions made by Mr. Tolmides, the consular ageet at Tenedos, is correct, and that steps have been taken for removing Mr. Tolmides from office, and for appointing a new consul at the Dardanelles.—l am, sir, your most obedient, humble servant, " JAMES MURRAY. " J. A. W. Harper, Esq., Lloyd's." " W. CALTERT. " I have several other Turkish and Greek docu ments in hand relating to this affair, but, in my opinion, they are not necessary to establish your claim ; and, as I have not yet got them correctly translated, I shall keep them by me until I hear from you in reply to the present. " You will please credit me with 14s. fees of office paid on the documents above referred to; and, with kind regards from all our circle, believe me ever, my dear Mr. Abbott, yours very sincerely, (Signed) " W. CALVERT. "To W. Abbott, Esq." The whole case appearing extremely suspicious to the general body of underwriters, the matter was put into the hands of Lloyd's Salvage Association to be investigated ; and in the early part of January last Capt. Sceales, a special agent, was despatched to Constantinople for that purpose Mr. Calvert, on learning the object cf Capt. Sceales' mission, tele graphed to Lloyd's as follows : " Inform underwriters of Possidhon and Abbott that something suspicious has come to my know ledge." " Dardanelles, Feb. 5, 1862. " Some time ago certain circumstances came to my knowledge in connection with Hussein Aga, the shipper of the oil per Possidhon, which, though they did not bear directly on the transaction in question, led me to entertain doubts as to whether he was really worthy of the confidence which I placed in him. I have consequently been endeavour ing in a quiet way to learn something more about him and his proceedings at Aivajik, Nothing, how ever, that I had heard lead me to doubt the bona fide nature of the transaction in question until yes terday, when further information casually came to my knowledge, which has given me strong grounds to apprehend that all is not right with respect to the shipment of oil. lam therefore determined per . nally to make a strict investigation on the spot nto the whole matter, in order to establish the real facts of the case , whatever they may be, before the business s definitively closed. On this account I havejust „ ow telegraphed to you as follows : Inform underwriters of Possidhon and Abbott will, I tr us t, b e s that something s usp i c i ous h This Y Payments being ma d e by e ith er as come to my know nfficient, and in time 1 ledge: , 1 t o prevent an THE MACKEREL FISHERY.—There is at present an abundance of mackerel on the south coast of Cornwall. One seine off Mevagisrey is said to have been broken with about 40,000 mackerel. At Par there appears to be no end to them. On Friday one seine caught about 42,000, besides unknown quantities by other seines. On Saturday the astonishment was still greater; five seines having opened in the bay, some of which were so near that parties were standing on the quay and throwing their baskets into the boats, buying the fish as they were being drawn on board and put into the basket alive. One seine was stretched across the entrance of the quay, and another spread outside for fear the first would break. As the tide recedes the sight is really extraordinary, there being a multitude shut within the harbour to wait the ebb of the tide, when it is only 1 1( '" ces sary to fill the baskets and bring them on shore, the aid of boats. Mackerel have been sold from the at four for one Penny , wi boats thout THE SUN, LONDON, THITRSD Y EVENING, AUGUST 28, 1862. A letter from Rome dated Aug. 23, says—En closed I send a translation of an address from the Moderate Roman Committee, which shows the spirit by which the majority of the Liberal party in this city are animated. Another short address made its appearance on the 20th, and if I cannot procure a copy of it, you may understand it as being in the same sense, inciting to patience, at least for ten days longer. You may rest assured that there is no communication nor sympathy between the two committees, the Roman and that of action, though, at the same time, it is only fair to say that the Mo derates, so far from being inert and indifferent to the success of the great national cause, are all ad• mirably organised and ready to obey the mot d'ordr6 when given by Victor Emmanuel. On such condi dition there are enrolled 14,000 Romans, who are divided into sections, squadri, and squadriglie, and they are so combined that no one knows more than five persons. The firmness and fidelity which these men have shown are remarkable, and journalism has not sufficiently noted the fact that though 11,000 of these same men signed the addresses to the French Emperor and to the Italian King, and though 500 scudi were offered as a reward to any one who would give up one single sheet of signatures to the authorities, and though the police were on the watch both day and night, not one single case of treachery occurred. Such men will know how to act when the proper moment has arrived. At present they are agitated and intimidated by the imprudence of the party of action and by the excesses of the police, which become greater every hour. All moderation and decency are thrown aside, and arrests and perquisitions take place continually. Thus, I have been informed, by those who are in a position to know everything, that within 20 days 158 political arrests have been made of persons of good condition, and if to these are added others of various classes, the statement is by no means improbable that the prisons are full, and that the Palazzo della Cancellaria, where the Parliament was held and Rossi was murdered, has been devoted to the reception of the victims of the police. I told you in my letter of the 21st that a banker had been arrested. He is Signor Pacifico, and is the manager of Ceruse's bank, and seems to have rendered himself obnoxious by having fre quented the French club, and by hating lately vi sited Leghorn, where he appeared at a public din ner. With regard to Silvestrelli, it was not he who was laid hold of, but his coachman, though the act was intended as a blow to the master, whose corre spondence with his exiled brother he was supposed to have conducted. The family consisted of two brothers, the elder of whom was exiled, and is now a deputy in the Italian Parliament ; the younger, too, was anxious to leave, but was not permitted to do so, except on condition of signing a paper pro mising never to return. As he is a large proprietor he was not prepared to do this, and has remained exposed to constant police vigilance and persecution, the latest effort of which was to arrest the man who conducted his correspondence with his brother. Several searches in shops were made on the morn ing of the 21st, and, among others, in the house of a well-known goldsmith. The letters of his daughter's lover were seized, and as allusion were made to the state of things, a visit was made to the house of the young man, where the lady's letters were seized, and, both packets being put under seal, were taken off to the police.office for further ecclesiastical in vestigation. Of course, Ido not pretend to adopt such a tedious course as that of describing all the cases of arrest, but I have mentioned the above as samples. In the bosom of their families, in the midst of business, in the broad light of day or at the dead of night, this Government seizes on its victims and hurries them off to the over-crowded prisons. And the burden of my report must be, all this is done under the eye of France, with her connivance and her support. The idea is enter tained by some here that those wholesome ex cesses are carried on at the suggestion of the French Government, in order to prevent so com promising an affair as a collision between the French troops and the Italians, I do not aceept such an explanation, having had a theory of my own, founded on a long and intimate know ledge of French policy in Italy, and that theory is that it has been the aim of the Imperial Govern ment by delays, temporary interventions, intrigues with all parties, to render all regular government impossible, and, by driving a people who have the cup of liberty in prospect to desperation, to create an excuse for making itself the suppressor of anarchy. It is a dangerous game, and many a spider has been swept off with his web. To confine myself, however, to what is passing here, the inevitable re sult of these persecutions will be to generate a spirit of vindictiveness which will gratify itself at any cost. At the beginning of the week two priests were stabbed in the Piazza Venezia, and another priest was soundly beaten ; it is asserted that they had di rected the police to enter a courtyard where four young men were assembled. They were all ar rested; but one was afterwards liberated, and the act of the priests was not forgotten. There will be many such acts remembered should a rising take place, and I shudder at the thought of what would happen here if the pent-up passions of this people were ever to find a vent. I remember to have seen the Bourbon police hunted like vermin through the streets of Naples, and no good man would like to see such scenes renewed in the streets of Rome ; but the priests must look to themselves ; the people are maddened to desperation, and if neither humanity nor Christian feeling have any control over them, a regard for personal security should command them to pause. M. Lavalette and the Duke de Montebello had an audience of the Pope on Monday. After some diffi culties which were raised by A ntonelli, his Holiness was promised all protection against Garibaldi, but other communications were not, I am informed, equally agreeable to the Pope. The Cardinals and the clergy and displeased, and bystanders 9ay that Lavalette and Montebello, on leaving,were observed to have a very " lively" discussion. An impression exists among the French, if I may believe some of their officers with whom I have conversed, that another division, equal to 8,000 men. is ex pected from Lyons. What is more ominous still is an impression among the same persons that Napo leon may lay hands on Naples. It is obviously on the cards, as it is entertained by the officers of the Imperial Government ; but, as I have often ob served, the tendency of the Emperor's policy for two years has been in that direction, and not a dodge, political or social, military or naval, has been omitted to prepare the way. The appearance of the Spanish frigate, the arrival of which at Civita Vec chia I announced to you, has given rise to much speculation here. The Osservatore Romano, on the same evening declared that she was placed at the disposal of the Spanish Ambassador. The Nuestra Senora del Carmine, for that is her name, carries 48 guns, and is a beautiful vessel. Now, as his Holi ness is a necessary instrument in the hands of the French, it cannot be for him, and public opinion has set it down for the Bourbons. If so, so much the better; but their departure is too late. They have been permitted to remain until they have done irre mediable harm in the South of Italy. Th e ex -Ki n g is at Athens, and has nearly recovered the effects of his attack o f smallpox. The Queen-Mother and one of the p r incesses I saw on the Pincio the night before last. Among the great and little diplomatic personages who figure away nightly in that de lightful s pot are the Minister of the Duke of Modena, accredited to the Court of the Bourbons. There, too, one meets with the Neapolitan refugees, and little coteries are formed and hopes indulged wh i c h will never be realised if the Bourbons are the objects of them. Napoleon will take good care of t h a t if Victor Emmanuel fails to do so. It is worth mentioning that the monster Stoppa was given up by the French to the Italian authorities, and taken a cross the frontier last Saturday. This man has committed upwards of 10 or 12 murders, but, under the quasi protection of this Government, has re mained secure. The nephew of his latest victim was, however, determined to have him, and, having obtained the permission of the French, came upon him and felled him to the ground with some heavy weapon. The servants of a friend of mine met him as he was being taken under a strong escort across the frontier. H e wa s mounted on a donkey, his legs tied beneath it, his arms pinioned, and his thumbs tied together. The following is the address of the Roman National Committee :-- « Romans! the King of Italy has spoken. He has asserted his right to demand of Europe full jus tice for the nation. He has promised that when the hour for the accomplishment of the great work shall have arrived his voice shall again be heard among us. LA us trust to his word. When the first sol dier of Italy speaks of delay we must believe in the necessity of it ; but it will be short and the last. " Romans ! Venice and Rome have had to endure a longer and harder trial of misfortune than any other Italian towns, but t his has not s ubdued y our courage; it has strengthe ned in you th e man ly re solution to persevere in yo ur purpose, a resolution which decided the greatness of your forefathers, the proofs of which to Europe are the thousands of our brothers who, whether in exile or in prison, have long paid the tribute of affection si to ne Italy Proofs, too, arc the addresses which yousigned a year ago, in spite at sacerdotal threats and anger, in which you boldly affirmed your rights to your King, and to the Emperor of the French ; proofs, too, are the 500 families who, since that time, have suffered violent perquisitions, or have nen their dear ones imprisoned or exiled, as too, lastly, are the hundred demonstrations which you have made, especially those during the Carnival, which com pelled the Minister Billault to solemnly confess in the Senate that the Romans had said enough, and that the day on which the French army should leave Rome a bloody insurrection would restore it to Italy. Strong in the rights of the nation and in the facts which attest to the world what is the force which prevents you from exercising your rights, the King of Italy will appeal to Europe for justice. We believe that he wiil be heard; but should it not be so, you will have exhausted all the proofs of civil wisdom that could be expected from a people, in order to show that they are worthy of their high destinies. Who will then dare accuse Italy and you of imprudence if you take the advice dictated by your desperate condition, and imposed on us by our resolute forbearance ? " Romans ! We need not tell you be ready ; we know that you are always ready. We tell you once more, restrain yet a short time longer your just anger and your reasonable indignation. Show the world yet again that you can govern yourselves. "We repeat it; we believe that the hour of jus tice is near at hand, but if the voice of the King shall tell you that he is unable to obtain it, you will show to Europe that the Roman people are worthy of being the people of the capital of Italy. You will prove once more that as you have been able to prac tice the wisdom of Fabius, it is easier for you to re member that you have in your veins the blood of Decius and Camillus. " Italy for ever ! Long live Victor Emmanuel ! " THE NATIONAL COMMITTEE. Rome, Aug. 11, 1862." THL I MOTTO OF "ROME OR DEA71.1." Mr. John M'Adam, of Glasgow, the persona friend of Garibaldi, of Kossuth, and indeed o nearly all the leading Continental patriots, has written a letter to the Glasgow Herald in reference to their present state of Italian affairs. He says— " Now, Sir, the personal danger to Garibaldi and his friends is their affair, and it is for them to judge the time and manner of obtaining their national in dependence; and all that we have any right to in terfere with, is how far they may involve us, or affect our international relations with France. It is quite simple and plain, should our Government remain quiescent, that France will absorb Italy piece by piece ; and we may quietly withdraw from the Mediterranean, and await our turn of French invasion. Think, for a moment, what true Scotsmen would say or do, if Napoleon gave us then a 13 years' taste of the Pope and the Inquisition in Edin burgh, and when, after 13 years respectful remon strance we demanded their removal, we should be told that the French flag could not be removed by threats.' "But, 30 years ago, France was influenced by threats when President Jackson demanded indemnity for some American citizens, and it was impertinently refused, unless ho would apologise for the demand. His answer was No; by the Eternal!' and the French paid the money. So will it be now. We cannot judge of French sentiment regarding Italy with a muzzled press, and where every fourth man or woman is either a spy or under their evil influ ences. We know, however, and Napoleon knows, that a strong, educated, organised party exists in France (and bides its time) which supported him when fighting for, but will not permit his fighting against Italian independence. The dread of this very republican party has more than once kept Na poleon's colonels from trying the Roman game in this country, and France is weak for aggression on Britain if our Government maintains its ground against further French acquisitions in the Mediter ranean. " When we remembered the direct lie told by the astute Cavour regarding the cession of Savoy and Nice, even after the cession was made, we placed little dependence on any denial of a bargain being attempted for Sardinia, and we may now judge from the plots hatched under the nose of the French garrison in Rome whether Murat and Prince Napoleon do not now hanker for the Vice royship of Sicily and Naples. Ruffians of the black est dye have gone from among them, bringing the Government of Victor Emmanuel into contempt among the people won for him by Garibaldi, and the earnest personal services of Joseph Mazzini, of whom your Paris correspondent evidently knows nothing except what he learns from his enemies in France. Garibaldi felt that Victor Emmanuel was permitting the enemies of Italy to estrange his people, and like a bold unselfish man, he is again preparing to draw the sword ore it be too late, and it is not for Scotchmen to object who remember their ancestors' struggles against greater odds than now really exist against Garibaldi. " I repeat my former assertion, that Victor Em manuel must go with his people, or he must go with their arch-enemy ; 22,000,000 of people more united, considering the circumstances, than any in the world, are not to be enslaved by one who has not a decent man in Europe that would lament his expulsion. Let him throw himself against Gari baldi, he will never Mlle out of Italy; let Austria move, Hungary will prove more than its match, for Russia can be found work this time among its own people, not to speak of Poland and the free peoples of Germany, dependent neither on Austria nor Prussia. There is now a good feeling between the peoples of Hungary and Italy, and they won't again be hounded on one another as heretofore. " I know this to be a bold, generous effort, as before, of Garibaldi, who won at his own great risk, while Victor Emmanuel pocketed the gains. Hear what Joseph Mazzini says on the 22d inst. : "' My dear Friend—lt is perfectly true—spite of the calumnies of The Times—that for eighteen months I have been trying to persuade Garibaldi that all our first efforts were to be directed towards Venice. Now, however, the die is cast. The absurd opposition of the Government to all schemes con cerning Venice, the insolent obstinacy of Louis Napoleon, and the instinctive feeling of the Italian people, have decided the question. It is too late to discuss—a whole people are uttering the watch word of Rome; we must obey it, and I am helping the movement with all my capabilities. If G. lands it will prove irresistible. " ' That, however, the flower of our youth should have to plunge in war and slaughter for the purpose of conquering what is our own—that a foreign Emperor should doom thousands to death, because he hopes to keep what is not his—is a shame for Europe. That France, Voltairian France, and a man who believes in nothing except murder and slaughter in the name of that lie which they call the Pope, is only adding hypocrisy to Britton ought crime, and disgust to horror.

" P.S.—Just as I finished the above, I s" v General Klapka's repudiation of Ga ribaldi, whichl consider something worse than impertinence, becat Ise your readers may remember, within the last ts o lionths, his ostentatious withdrawal from Kossuth a x. 'd his country's interests, to the great mortificatioo Ea f the best friends of Hungary; who did not see the ue. sity of advertising himself out,' to the &scours, qe meat of others. He made the excuse of ill-healt b, but I am well advised he was to have been manic d in a month. Likely he will have got an heirea 4 among the ene mies of his country. We expect many more Dugald Dalgettys ; indeed the. defection_ of many of Garibaldi's best off'icer's may lta ve pre cipitated his actions just now, not wishing- the re mainder to be, like Hannibal's army, roadert d effe minate by the wealth and luxuries of Capua. They can be spared, however, though they are 1 'rave men ; but I does not take Garibaldi long to m ake good officers, and Kossuth will secure Hungary at the proper time. " J. M'.&." INQUEST ON A CRIMINAL LUNATIC_ - - Yesterday William Payne, Esq., the corone.r, held an inquest in the board -room of Bethlehem Hospital, on the body of Henry Si m mons, aged 26, an advertising agent, who was placed in the above institution in 1854, having been tried at the Cen tral Criminal Court for murder, and acquitted on. the ground of insanity, and ordered to be detained during her Majesty's ple,lsure. It appeared from the evidence of an attendant in the hospital that the deceased entered the bedroom of the landlady in whose house he was then resid ing, and whilst she was asleep he deliberately cut her across the abdomen and with a large carving knife, and from which death soon after ensued. Having accomplished thhl horrible work upon a poor woman who had neN - e.r given him offence, and with whom he was upon the best terms, he told several whom he met tb.lt he had been cutting up a black cat that had te.rmented him, and appeared quite delighted that he baid been able to accomplish his object in getting it ,out of the way. Dr. Helps was his medical attendant , and had attended him up to the present time, and he had lately enjoyed very good health, but he was found dead in his bed. The Coroner explained to the jury the law on the subject of criminal lunatics, which required that when any one died an inquest should be held n pon him, so that the public might be satisfied that d ur tug the time he had been in confinement, and x..ot allowed the privilege of liberty, nothing has bee n done to hasten his death. This was a protectioo which the law threw around those who were de.• prived of reason and unable to speakfor themselves. The jury returned a verdict of " Natural death."
