An announcement of a somewhat startling nature in reference to the Asiatic cholera must have arrested public attention the other day—an announcement in regard to an opinion recently expressed by the Board of Health in a communication to the Government. This opinion, it will be remembered, was to the effect that two medical officers should be specially appointed to take such steps as may seem best calculated to meet and mitigate any attack of cholera upon this country —the suggestion being submitted to the consideration of her MAJESTY'S Ministers in consequence of the disastrous intelligence received during the last few weeks from the city of Warsaw. Little more than a fortnight has elapsed since we recounted the nature and extent of the raveges made in that ancient capital of what was once the kingdom of Poland, by the moss fatal of modern visitation. Within that period the conviction appears to have forced itself upon the judgments of the Sanitary Commis sioners that some precautionary measures should at length be taken in England, so that we may not be surprised, as we have been twice—firstly in 1832 , 3, and secondly in 1848-9, when the dreadful scourge carried destruction far and wide among the inha bitants of the United Kingdom. Fortunately the authorities appear to be at last awakened to a sense of their heavy and even , under the circumstances, awful responsibilities. It must not, of course, be imagined that we are disposed to underrate the humane efforts made on the last descent of the cholera upon the shores of Great Britain by order of the RUSSELL Adminis tration. On the contrary, it must be admitted cor dially upon all hands that everything that in genuity could devise at the time was done according to the beneficent dictates of the existing Government,thenßut everything also, it:must likewise be confessed, or almost every thing was left until it was too late to be productive o f An y considerable amelioration. Remedies w e r e attem pted to be employed for the oat part when re medies w e re certain to prove inefficacious. A s to preceut i on e, scarcely any worthy of bein g so desig nated were taken . The p eo p le were s urprised int o the knowledge tha t the disease had arrive d amongst them by the fact of t housands being " cut off" with a ppalling. Until then apathy a rapidity absolutely was betrayed in high places ; but thereupon an ex traordinary degree of activity was manifested—al as ! only when activity W.2S little less than a mockery. Dreadfal evidence of this has lately been collected to gether in the blue book, presented to both Houses of Parliament by command of her M AJES TY, and entitled " Report of the General Board o f Health on the Epidemic Cholera of 1848 and 1849"—a report evidently prepared with remarkable attention both to detail and comprehensiveness. Curiously enough, from three to four years were consumed upon both occasions, before, in 1832.3, and afterwards, in 1848-9, the cholera had arrived in ngland, after traversing the various countries of the continent in its north-westerly progress from Rindostan. A glance at the course taken by the dis ease at the last-mentioned period, will be sufficient to remind us of the average rate of its movements. It is tolerably well known that the calamitous epidemic referred to has appeared annually, since 1817, i n different provin ces o f the East Indian peninsula. Already it hag c twie extended beyond th e frontiers of ni ndostal2 - ; a southerly an d and by advancing i n westerly direction, reached s th e British Islands ucceesively in 1832 and in 1848. It is feared lest • • , Haying aga i n passe d be yond th e customary limits. of the land which was its bi r thplace, it may have actually entered once more upon that inexorable course which has twice con ducted it through the most Populo us cities of the Europeans. With this terrible prospect held before us by the hand o f ex p erience, it b ecomes p ecu li arly matter of interest just now to c a l l to rem em b rance the facts peculiar to the two previous visitations; and this can be the most readily a n d the most effectually done by tracking the course taken by the disease across the continents of Asia and Europ e _, following the trail of its disastrous footprints from its appearance during the hot season of 1845 1 at Cabool to its arrival on the first day of October, 1848, at the city of Edinburgh. ' la ving !manifested itsdf, as here stated, . in 1845 at Cabool, the cholera bad extended during the course of the same year, in July to T.lnehalla, and in November to Cey lon , e • Scarcely had the spring of . t . ;,- , ... 1846 commenced wh n the disease had leaped north - ' ? warden as, far as Bo mbay ;in June i A. . -- Tae-leeea in July at Teheran,• • of ''' - -- aututaa'at T and b abrez.

N. a kii TELE daries of Asia Minor, and wandered through the densely crowded city of Bagdad, almost decimating the population. The autumnal season of 1846 found it creeping to and fro between Sheerez, and Diar bekar, and Derbend, reaching Mossu in October, and advancing from Damascus to Aleppo in Novem ber. By the January of 1847 it was at Mecca on the shores of the Red Sea, and before the spring had been completed had strcde northwards again as far S 3 the Black Sea at Trebizonde. The June of the same year, 1847, found it further northwards still, and that time on the shores of the Caspian at Astracan, the 18th of the following September finding it at Moscow. A single month in 1848, that of June, sufficed to carry itnnward to St. Petersburgb, to Berlin, and to Constantinople. By July it had spread downwards again to Tantab, by September it was at Ilamburgh, and on the Ist of October it had broken out, as before mentioned, in the capital of Scotland. Such was the course taken and the interval of time consumed by the movement of the cholera upon the occasion of the last visitation. Its ravages need scarcely, we conceive, be in any par ticular instances specified. They are borne too vividly and mournfully in recollection. What re mains to be done now is to calculate from past events so accurately as to " time" the measures of precau tion adventured upon by the Sanitary Commissioners and sanctioned by her MAJESTY'S Government. More than once we have spoken in terms of onE well merited commendation of the ho nourable impartiality selection G which distinguished Lord lawyers—KNlGHT Equityßu E s ß s E u u c j ' GE 's udges, in T of three TURNER, a T n o a ry jAEs PARKER, 1851. He selected them, in spite of their politica' because they were the men whom he believed, from the recommendation of Lord Chan cellor TRURO, and the general voice of the bar, to be the best qualified for such a high position. It was a good thing, well done, and distinguishes Lord Jens RUSSELL'S fair p l a y and determination to serve the public interests. Such a precedent, we fondly hoped, would have been acted on by succeeding Ministers. And why was this anticipation indulged iu ?—Simply because the ermine should be unstained by any approximation to partizanship,—because, in very truth, a Judge should be entirely out of the reach of suipicion or censure on the ground of politics. The higher the character of the Judges, the more confidence in the administration of the law. 1 A few weeks ago, th e r e f e ll in a vacanc y on th.", Bench, by th e su dd en an d regre tt e d d ea th o f Si r JAMES PARKE R , one of the Vice-Chancellor s . P u bli c expectation was excited, at the time, as to the pro bable successor of this eminent and exemplary Judge. Ic was expected, of course, that whoever might be selected would be chosen, irrespective of his politics, and, above all, with two paramount qualifications—first, that he should be emi nently distinguished in his profession, and, secondly, that he should be well disposed towards Law Reform, to which the present as well as the late Ministry stand strongly pledged to the country. No one thought it likely that Lord DERBY would ap point as Vice-Chancellor a gentleman chiefly distin guished for his strenuous and life-long opposition to Law Reform. Among the persons talked of for this appointment were Sir PAGE WOOD, the late Solicitor-General, one of the first equity lawyers of the day ; Mr. BETHEL and Mr. ROLT, also highly distinguished at the bar; Mr. SWANSTON, whose equity Reports are of . great value, and could only have been made by a sound lawyer, Mr. ROUNDELL PALMER, whose quali fications are all generally admitted, and Mr. JOHN STUART, who is reported to have rather indignantly declined the Solicitor-Generalship, on the formation of the present Government, having expected the Great Seal, or at least to be the first of the law officers of the Crown ! It was known that all the other gentlemen are friendly to law reform, and it was notorious (from his speeches and votes in Par liament, as Clumber-park nominee for the borough of Newark) that Mr. JOHN STUART Could not be such a Law Reformer as the circum stances and the feelings of the time imperatively require. We say nothing of Mr. STUART'S being a Tory of the old school—for his politics, we hope and expect, will not interfere with his efficiency as a judge. We rest on the one point, that equally dis tinguished lawyers have been passed over, in order to make a Vice-Chancellor of Mr. Jonr4 STUART, BO well known as the decided and consistent enemy of Law Reform. Lord DERBY, coming into office after the Ministe rial programme had been laid before the public in the Royal Speech at the opening of last Session, adopted the principal measure then promised to the country, and stocd sponsor to Chancery Reform, as recommended by the Parliamentary Commission. In the House of Com mons, if there was one man more eager th an an _ other in opposition to that measure, it was Mr. JOHN STUART. Further law reforms are looked for and must be made (whoever be the Ministry), and we cannot venture upon the "forlorn hope" th at the new Vice-Chancellor will assist in that necessary work. On that account, there f ore , we have h ear d, with regret, of this appointment. We c ou ld h ave forgiven the intensity of his Tory ism, but why M r . STUART, the opponent of Law Reform, should have been appointed completely puzzles us, and is a ques tion which, by-and-bye, the PREMIER may have to answer " in another place. In a fable related by ./E3OP (or 'affiliated on him, for we doubt whether the wise slave composed half the parables for which he is credited), mention is made of a wolf and a lamb who happened to meet at the same rivulet to drink. The innocent lamb was angrily reproached by the wolf with having muddied the waters. " How can that be," said the innocent lamb, " when you are drinking above me ?" " No matter," responded the wolf, " the stream was dis turbed one day as I was drinking, and if not by you, certainly by your father, or uncle, or brother, or some of the family." Wh ereupon continues the fable, the wolf incontinently grasped the lamb in his claws and devoured him ! Brother JONATHAN reminds us very strongly of the wolf, and Cuba, Canada, Japan, Mexico, and the Lobos Island are not inaptly represented by the victimized lamb. Whenever th e wolf wants a co l oura bl e pretext for in justice, b e Can readily find—or make it. In this view, we read and understand the correspondence between the Government of the United States and the Peru vian Charge d'Affair:s at Washington. The Lob os island avebeen long reputed, from their propinquity, to belong t o to M by y ese Peru though they are said vast quanti t have been of di enov er d England. rocks, Application There y w as made, not long ago, to The British o je tertilizin g and valu able Government, for l ea ve to remove this g uano, _ . . . the presumed Peruvian ' manure. a Government re specting o wnershi p ;declined sanctioning thi s proposed mercantile invasion of the s al islands by British craft. The United States, on the of the guano , • of the claims of Peru on the island other hand, have sanctioned the removal irrespective 8. o n the part o f Peru it is alleged " that she has 1 &may s ' Ong t o Peru, as they formerly belonged to Spain; and that exercised authority o ver them ; that the y bel ong from time immemorial the Peruvian Indians h ave catching seals, killing birds, and gathering eg gs been in the habit of visiting the m for the p ur pose of and that exclusive right to the islands b y Per u has never been doubted or disputed." The American reply, per contra, is " That the Lobos, or Seal Islands as their name imports, lie in the open Pacific Ocean, the nearest of them twenty or thirty miles from the coast of Peru. They are mere barren rocks in the sea, uninhabited and uninhabitable. Fisheries, and the pursuit of amphibious animals, especially the seal, have long been carried on around their shores, and even on those shores themselves, since it is well known that seals are usually taken and killed upon the land. In these pursuits and in this use of the islands citizens of the United States were engaged for half a century 'bef ore any actual interruption took place by the Pe ruvian G overnment or anybody else, their visits to them havin g commenced at least as early as 179 3. If Peru h eld and possessed full soverei gn t y over these islands, thi s 1 and killin g o f and near th e s h ore, an d th i s pursuit amphibious animals upon the land, was as m uc h aninvasion of that sovereignty as is I the taking of guan o f rom them now. " Further, that, in 1833, there w as e e a iormal remonstrance on the part I of the TT nited States against the asserted sovereignty of Peru over the Lobos Isl an d, , 1 to which no answer, so far as it appears, was given, nor an intimation made that notwithstanding this remonstrance the de cree would be enforced ;" and that " if Peru has suffered these barren rocks to be visited and used by citizens of the United States for a long course of time, and for all the purposes for which they were known to be valuable, is the case altered when they are found capable of a new use? Is not the natural inference either that Peru never claimed any exclusive right over the islands, or that if such claim bad been made by any formal or official a c t o f G overnment, such claim had been abandoned, at least SO far as citizens of the United States were concerned." Also, " tbat the islands are not the property of Peru, as be yond the distance of a cannon shot, or three marine miles from the shore, this being the supposed limit to which a defence of the coast, from the land itself, can be extended." The United States, therefore, (having determined to remove the guano from the Lobos Islands), claims the right of doing so, because it has long exercised the privilege of treating these islands as general property, and has remonstrated against being inter rupted in doing so. "If," says Mr. WEBSTER, " it shall turn out that, as has been intimated above, those islands are uninhabited and uninhabitable, and therefore incapable of being legally possessed or held by any one nation, they and their contents must be considered as the common property of all. Or, if unprotected by the presence of Peru vian authorities, and without actual possession, their use has been by Peru, abandoned or conceded, with out limitation of time, to citizens of the United States for a long period, or yielded in consequence of the remonstrances of this Government or its agents, then no exclusive ownership can be pretended, as against the United States at least." In the mean time, citi zensof the United States " who may undertake to defend themselves or their vessels by force in the prosecution of any commercial enterprises to these islands" are to receive "no countenance." But, should they be attacked in what Peru says would be actual rob bery, the naval forces of the United States in that quarter are to prevent collision, pendeate litc. So, while the question is in dispute, the Americans may and will remove as much of the guano as they can ! Such is the state of the case, which illustrates the grasping character of the " universal Yankee nation." WEBBTER acts wholly on " The good oh plan That those should take who have the power, And those shall keep who can." In his hands, the United States run a fair chance of ranking as the JACK SHEPPARD, or RICHARD Tuu PIN of the nations! COURT CIRCULAR.

Colonel Wood had an interview with Mr. Sure tart' Walpole, on Saturday, at the Horne-office. - STRAND THEATRE. THE YOUNG GARRICK. This interesting and talented child appeared again at the Str an d Th ea t re on Saturday. His p er _ formances are as p l eas i ng as wonderful ; all art is concealed, and he rivits the attention of an audience: he personated on the occasion mentioned the charac.. ters of Macbetb, Jaques, and Hamlet. To say th e least, the d agger so lil oquy w as beautifully rendered, and the delivery of "The Seven Ages," and passages from Hamlet, elicited hearty and well-merited ap plause. It is doubtful whether any actor on the stage can give a grander recital of the soliloquy "To be or not to be" than " the young Garrick," and this is asserted by the best authorities. There is no disput ing the fact . , that the boy possesses wonderful talent. fie is an excellent elocutionist, and, whatever may have been the tutorage, effort in acting is never ap parent. He is, unquestionably, a feature in the talent that prevails ; and, judging from what we have al ready seen and heard, bids fair to become one of the brightest ornaments on the stage. COSTA RlCA.—Letters from Boca del Toro by the last mail from America, mention the arrival there of M. Morel, the eugineer to whom the original concession for the Panama Railway had been granted; but who, being unable to organize a company for its execution within the period to which he was limited, was obliged to abandon the enternrize, which was subsequently taken up by the Americans, in whose hands it now is. M. Morel is about to work the ex tensive coal-bed that has been discovered within the con ceded territory of Costa Rica, at Terraba ; and, from the and importance of the m i nera l , to supply the the vast numberof steam-vessels now plying fgureela required e v q a u l i u r e e d b y both on the coasts of the Atlantic and Pacific, great results are expected. The emigrants who have gone out to Boca del Toro under the auspices of the Costa Ri ca C ompany, re port most favourably of the climate, and have been greatly assisted in obtaining the means of crossing -the Isthmus to Gulf Dulce (to which . there is a mul e t rac k long practised by the Indians) by the kind hospitality of Captain Shepherd, an English mariner, who has resided for more th an t wen ty years on one of the islands in the Bay o f B oca d e l T oro, which he has cultivated and made his own p ro p er t y , an d where he has enjoyed uniform good health. The land route from ocean to ocean may be abridged by performing part of the distance by water, up a stream ca ll e d S a l t C reek, which is done in canoes, and in the course of which there are no obstructions. In the official gazette of Costa Rica, published at San Jose, of the date of June 26, the approba tion of the Congress of that Republic is given to the settle ment of the boundary line between Nicaragua and Costa Rica, which was determined by the joint labours of the Ministers of these States, through the friendly intervention of Great Britain and the United States, at Wa.hington ; and the exact definition of the boundary line between New Gre nada and Costa Rica will, in all probability, be speedily de termined by the same friendly authorities. CREMORNE.—Mr. Partridge, the obliging and in defatigable treasurer of this establishment, takes his annual benefit to-morrow (Tuesday) evening, when, in addition to the usual varied resources of this place of popular amusement, several novelties will be introduced, including the surprising Itochez family, Professor Taylor, and other favourite artistes. We have no doubt that the claims of the bezzeficiare, together with the many attractions held forth,will form a combination which must prove irresistible to the pleasure-seeking portion of the public. THE CHOLERA.—Two of the superintendent medi cal inspectors of the General Board of Health have been directed to watch the progress and threatenings of cholera, as was done in its former progress—Dr. Sutherland and Mr. Grainer. The latter gentleman is now en route to ob serve and report on its progress at Magdeburg, or, as it is be lieved, at other points in the direction of Hamburgh. THE ELECTRIC TIME BALL AND CLOCK AT CHARING-OROss.—After several days of careful experiment the arrangements for carrying out these novel and interest ing telegraphic phenomena were completed on Saturday, and henceforward the inhabitants of the metropolis may confi dently rely upon the descent of the Strand time ball simul taneously with that at Greenwich at one P.M. In connexion with the ball the elegant four-dialled electric clock opposite the company's Strand telegraph station at Charing-cross will also show correct time; but it may be as well to state that the minute hand moves only when the minute has been com pleted, and therefore a person wishing to set a watch must wait until he sees the minute hand suddenly move; the in stant it stops will be " Greenwich mean time." This clock is also under the influence of the voltaic current transmitted from Greenwich. The ball falls daily at one o'clock (Sun days included), but should any unforeseen obstruction occur it will descend at two o'clock, bat failure is seldom antici. pated, as the arrangements made by the company, in con junction with the Astronomer-Royal at Greenwich, and the South-Eastern Railway Company, are of so perfect a nature as to ensure unerring success. It is said that the expense of the company's public-spirited undertaking will fall little short of the amount already mentioned, viz., I,COO/. NEW AUSTRIAN LOAN.—The Austrian Govern meat intends to raise within its own territories a new loan of close of eighty millions of florins, to be applied to pay a part of the debt due to .the bank, to redeem a portion of the Treasury °° ,1 ( 1 8, to construct railroads, and cover the:anticipated deficit each evening. of the budget of 1853.

THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris papers of Saturday and yesterday. The Journal des _Wats has taken up very warmly the subject of the Iriih Industrial Exhibition. The following paragraphs appear on the subject in this highly-influential p a p er ,— " The immense suceee of the Universal Exposition at London last year has infaenced and encouraged the idea o f making a second experiment of the same kind in ano ther part of Great Britain, It is in Dublin that the new Exposition will take plane next May. A committee has been formed, iu which fieure the most important and ho nourable names of Ireland. With princely generosity a private gentleman, Mr. William Dargan, has announced his intention of meeting all expenses, and has already placed in the hands of the committee a sum of 500,000 f. The principal direction has been confided to a man of proved activity and capacity, Mr. Roney, and circulars had already been sent to all those manufacturers whose n ames figured in the London Exposition. ‘ and Mr. K eog h, P., have, according to ‘G ‘ his. ig; R za u n n i' eY M.s Messenger, had an interview with his Excellency Lord Cowley, to whom they have repre sented the advantage that would be derived by the ex position of some of the beautiful products of French ma nufacture. The Mornisy Herald, too, states that letters have been received from Lord Malmesbury, in which he expresses the warm interest he takes in an enterprise useful not only to Ireland, bat calculated to keep up those generous sentiment; of sympathy between France an d England to which the relations growing out of the Louden Exlaibtion had given so strong an im petus." The General Council of l'Herault have passed a series of resolutions against those restrictive, and in om e cases prohibi t i ve dut i es, which hamper the oom tnerciel reletions of France with other countries. They call for moderate duties, especially on matters of prime necessity, such as iron. A. party of inspectors and engineers of the Fonts et ChausE&a passed three days ago over the section of the Paris and Bordeaux Railway, between Angou leme and Bordeaux, eshich it is expected will be opened to the public cn the 15th. There now re mains to compl ete the whole line only the part be tween Poitiers and Angouletne. M. Fenix. Minister of State, arrived on Saturday in Paris. Thi s morn i ng the lioniteur contains a notice for reducing interest on Treasury bills, which, although strictly within the domain of the Minister of Finance, could hardly have been decided on with out the sanction of Al.

Such an This paper states that manufacturers com avowal from a journal which, in matters of trade, goes to the extent of prohibition ofall foreign produce is significant. You have seen the resolution of the General Council of the lierault, in favour of moderate duties on raw material, such as iron. The Debats, supporting this resolution, says : " Under the Empire the great majority of raw mate rials were only Subjected to very low duties, and several were exempt from any duty. As to iron, cast-iron, and steel, the tariff at that time as compared with the pre- Sent—rough castings were free of duty, now they pay 77f. per tun, when it comes from the place where it is produced; iron in bars then paid 44f. per ton, it now Pays 206 f., or nearly five timea as much; cast steel paid 99f. per tea; the duty is now 1,3201., cr thirteen times as much." The new postage•stampa with the head of the PRE SIDENT of the Republic are about to be issued. The plates for printing them are all ready. The Municipal Council of Grenoble has voted 25,000 f, to defray the expense of the reception of the PRESIDENT in that town during his approaching tour in the south. M.

As he finds himself under a restraint which did not permit him to indulge in discussion as he could wish, he describes the whole periodical press as a mere shadow.

The accounts of the municipal elections in different parts of the country continue to show the great indif ference felt by the electors in the exercise of their electoral rights. At Lona le Saulnier only 600 out of 2,327 voters came to the poll. At Dieppe the first ballot was made null from want of a sufficient num ber of votes. In the majority of the communes of the arrondissement of Orange it was with the greatest difficulty that the requisite number (one-foruth) could be got together. At Orange itself, out of 2,800 citi zens inscribed, 2,000 abstained from voting; at Bou logne only 2,751 voted out of 8684 ; at Calais and St. Pierre lea Calais 1,542 out of 4,795; at Tarves 814 es sf of ouul.t 432 of voted, 3,23 0 at -Eymet- (Dordogne), where 385 out the Government list was not suc c Out of candidates ie the commune of Fays Billot (Haute Marne), only one belonged to the Government list.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS, CITY, TWO O'CLOCK. _ _ - - - The sales of Cotton at Liverpool on Saturday were estimated at 8,000 bales, of which 2,000 American were taken on speculation. The market closed with a hard ening tendency. The sales comprised 7,000 American, 500 Egyptian, at 6d. to 9d.; and 400 Sarat, at 3id. to per lb.—Railway Shares were at lower prices. Upon the state of the Iron trade we have the follow ing from Messrs. W. Short and Co.:— " Rails are in good request, and the price is extremely firm. Bars continue in fair request, and the price is steadily advancing. All other descriptions of manufac lured Iron are equally firm. In Scotch Pig Iron a large business has been done up to 465. per ton cash, and 478, three months prompt for medium numbers of good brands.

In reference to the proposed payment of a dividend on " the North British preference snares for the past half year, at the rate of 3i instead of 6 per cent. per annum, inquiry has been made respecting the proprietors' claims for the deficiency from subsequently accruing profits. The following reply, dated the 30th August, was re ceived from the secretary : "I am favoured with your letter of the 27th instant. The Act under which the preference stock (No. 1) was created does not, in express terms, provide for the pay ment of arrears of dividend, nor, so far as I am aware, does any preference Act contain such a provision. "The question is purely one of law, and, I believe, the directors intend taking the opinion of counsel on the point. The question will probably be discussed at the meeting on the 10th proximo." The intelligence by the American packet to-day is on the whole favourable. The question of the Lobos Islands continued to excite attention, but Mr. Webster prudently considers that the alleged possession by Peru is not thoroughly justified. Meanwhile, however, the active intervention of the Government is suspended. The Money and Stock Markets are steady, the supply of the former being generally abundant, although an en deavour has beer , . made by the Banks to raise the rate of interest. The advices by the West India Mail are not altogether encouraging. From Mexico the accounts show a terri ble disorganization of affairs, and apprehensions were entertained of a fresh revolution. The French Government have given notice of a re duction of the rate of interest on Treasury Bonds. The future regulations are as follows :—on Bonds, at from four to five months' date, lk per ceat. interest, per an num; on Bonds, at from five to eleven months' dat e , 2 per cent; on Bonds at one year 3 per cent. Business in the Turkish Loan has been transacted this morning at 5/; and the present price is 5k to / premium. To-day is the date fixed for the payment of the 25 per cent. deposit, but it is styled that the greater part has been already anticipated. The English Funds have not fluctuated to any ex tent this morning, and prices generally show a steady appearance. Consols for Money are quoted 100, and for the Account 100 to k; Three per Cents.

CIRCASSIA, A slight skirmish has just taken place between th e hostile hordes and the Russian military. the fficial report is as follows : " The inhabitants of three hostile settlem ents, situated on the frontiers of Dsba re g s, near Orgu n , just above the settlement of Schatil, had been carry ing on a very serious molestation of an important part of the circle of Tuschino. In order to give th ese aggressors a good lesson, the commander-in-chi e f of the district, Lieut.-Colonel Prince TSCLIELOKA JEW, concentrated a body of 740 m ilitia and 4 0 Don Cossacks, and at daybreak on the 27th J u l y suddenly surrounded the three villages. After a very obstinate engagement, during which the three villages were reduced to ashes, our men made seventeen prisoners, and carried off considerable booty in cattle. I n this encounter we had only three killed nod nine wounded."
