TVilliarz Michel eras this morning, placed at the bar before Mr. Henry, charged with uttering counterfeit ( From a Supplement to Friday's Gazette.) WAR-DEPARTMENT, APRIL 14. Lord Panmure has this day received a despatch and its enclosures, of which the following are copies, ad dressed to his lordship by Field-Marshal the Lord Raglan, G.C.B. From the evidence it appeared that shortly after twelve o'clock to-day the prisoner entered the shop of Mr. Steers, and asked for a concertina he had left to Le repaired. Mrs. Steers gave him the instrument, and told him the charge was eightpence. He gave her six pence and two penny pieces in payment, but she imme diately discovered that the sixpence was counterfeit. The prisoner put the sixpence in his moutb, and then tendered a good shilling, and said he did not think the sixpence was a bad one, upon which Mr. Steers came into the shop and closed the door. The prisoner tried to leave the shop, to prevent which the prosecutor strug gled with him, and after the scuffle, a policeman having arrived, 43 sixpences and 20 shillings, all counterfeit, were found on the floor. Before Sebastopol, March 31, 1855. • My Lord,—Since I wrote to your lordship, on the 27th instant, the operations of the siege have hymn con tinued, without any material interruption from the enemy beyond occasional shots from guns . /nd mortars, and the more constant firing of musketry from rifle-pits, which have occasioned, I regret to say, the casualties which your lordship will see in the peturns I enclose. Captain A. E. Hill, of the 87( Regiment, whom I mentioned in my despatch, N . 222, as having been severely wounded and taken prisoner, died, I regret to say, of his wounds before he reached the Russian ambu lance, as I learnt last night from General Osten-Sacken, to whom I had written for information on the subject. He had gone forward with a view to place the sentries in front of our advanced works, as I stated to your lord ship on Tuesday, and he, unfortunately, mistook a Rus sian for a French picquet, and, having challenged it in French, he was immediately fired upon, and brought to the ground. Early yesterday morning a fire was observed in the town of Sebastopol, which raged with violence for a con siderable time, but how it originated I have not been able to ascertain. The prisoner, in answer to questions from the magis trate, declined to give his address, but said he worked for Mr. Quantock, a bootrnaker, in Hollis•etreet, Clare market, and the reason he was not at work that morn ing was that business was slack—he having finished his job last night. Mr. Henry ordered the gaoler to look at his hands, but there was not the slightest trace of boot or shoe making to be found, for which circumstance the pri soner accounted by saying that last night he washed his hands with soda. Mr. Henry—Since you decline to give your address I must order the police to make inquiries about you, and try and find out your residence, for which purpose I shall remand you for a week. The enemy has made no movement on the side of the Tchernaya. The railway continues to progress in the most satis factory manner, and last night had nearly reached the top of the hill, usually called the Col de Balaklava, and advantage has been taken of it to bring up large gum titles of ammunition and stores.—l have, &c., The Lord Panmure, &c. &c. Prisoner—But if I give my address ? Mr. Henry—Then the remand will be for a shorter RAGLAN. period. The prisoner, after a deal of hesitation, during which the neagistra,te observed he took a long. while to recollect where he lived, he said he residedtat 25, Charlton street, goners -town.

This will only beirtitheenafocrerunner of THE VISIT OF THE EMPEROR OF THE FRENCH. ' DOVER, APRIL 13. The Neptune, 120, Vice-Admiral Sir Thomas Coch rane' and 12 sail, formi ng th e sq u adron charged with the honour of receiving and saluting the Emperor and Empress of the French on their visit to England on Monday next, anchored in Dover Roads this morning. If the weather continues fine the fleet will probably re main at its present anchorage. The unusual spectacle attracted numbe:s of spectators to the piers and lauling places, and much curiosity is manifested on the part of the public to become acquainted with the programme of the great event. It is considered probable that his Royal Highness Prince Albert, on learning the departure of the Imperial cortege from Boulogne, will go out in the Black Eagle or in the Vivid to meet it half way, returning in company to Dover, when a grand salute from the ships of war in the Roads and from the heights will welcome its approach to the shores of Britain. Their Majesties will afterwards land, and proceed to the Lord Warden Hotel, where they will partake of a ddeuner, which will be ready for them at 12 o'clock. 2 p.m. is the hour officially named at which the special train convey. ing the august party to Windsor will leave Dover, but if the passage across the Channel be accomplished without delay it is probable that the hour will be earlier. The Lord Warden, from its close vicinity to the railway station (being immediately opposite), will be particu • lady convenient to the Royal party. Private carriages will be dispensed with, as, after leaving the hotel, their Majesties will merely have to cross the road, a distance of a few yards only, and which will be lined on either side by a guard of honour. A private entrance, leading into the station, will then conduct them to the train. The railway authorities are making every exertion for the accommodation of the Emperor. Orders have been given for the interior of the station to be decorated, and the public will be ad mitted to the platform by tickets, which will be distri buted to persons of respectability on application. The general manager and principal officers of the company will receive their Majesties, and will conduct them to the State carriage which has been prepared for them. Mr. Hakes, the proprietor of the Lord Warden, ap pears determined that no effort shall be wanting on his part to make the whole proceedings go off with the greatest possible eclat. Flagstaffs are being erected at the different angles of the building, but at the present early stage of the preparations it is impossible to say what will be the general effect of the decorations. In the interior of the building the State apartments and spacious coffee-room are being fitted upon' a scale of unusual splendour. Every one appears to be doing his duty, excepting the town authorities. No prepara tions on their part have been even commenced, and there is not the slightest sign of any being intended. It is difficult to account for this extraordinary neglect ; per haps their patriotism as well as their purse was exhausted by the French demonstration which took place here some time back in aid of,the Patriotic Fund. On that occasion the greatest possible fuss was made—the Town ball was decorated, flags and devices were exhibited on every conceivable and inconceivable spot, and all in honour of the French band and choristers from Calais and St. Omer. As might be expected, every train brings its pro portion of visitors, and by to-morrow hotel accom modation will become difficult, and beds impracticable. The weather was extremely thick from an early hour this morning, but it is now, 5 p.m., clearing up. The Archbishop of Canterbury will arrive at Dover this evening, and will consecrate the new burial-ground on Copt-hill to-morrow (Saturday). His Grace will pro bably remain until alter the arrival of the Emperor. • WINDSOR, FRIDAY. The activity and anxiety displayed at the Castle to complete the preparations for the reception of his Ina pe,ial Majesty the Emperor of the French and the Em press Eugenie are unabated. Each of the rooms appeopriated to the use of the illustrious visitors are inspected daily by her Majesty the Queen and his Royal Highness Prince Albert, who evince deep interest in the progress of the workmen. The room known as the Queen's Closet has been fitted up as the sleeping apartment of the Emperor. The de corations are of the most gorgeous description. The co,rnices, ceilings, and mouldings have - been newly gilt, and the doors and panels redecorated. The sofas, couakes, chairs, and other furniture of the room are co rer ed with green satin, the woodwork being all sulen- , did.ly gilded. The state bed has just been completed, and. is expected to arrive from London to-day. The dekigit is most elegant—the curtains and hangings are of crimson velvet. The coverlet is composed. of green satin., with. he national emblems of the United King dom in the centre, most elaborately and beautifully em bossed in gold, and the borders similarly ornamented. The sleeping apartment of the Empress Eugenie, which :is kn own as the Council Chamber, and adjoins the Queen's tdoset, bas been decorated in an equally gorgeous style. The state bad has been re-decorated with green satin with crimson embroidery. The furniture is, like that of the.7Emperor's, green and gold. The toilet is covered with rich sky-blue satin, and surmounted by Honiton lace ,If the best and most classical design. On the centre of tb e table is placed an ovallooking.glass, richly carved and festooned with Honiton lace. In the front is a cash ion, formed of green satin, with the letter " E" embroidered in the centre. The apartments for the personal attendants upon the Ern peror and Empress have also been splendidly fitted up. The whole of the rooms have been furnished with new carpets, and every appliance will be resorted to in ordei that the visit may be rendered as magnificent as it io undeniably weloome. One point it , is necessary to refer to, althquich, touch ing upon tender ground. The most attractive of thO S Late apartments, it is I well known is the " Waterloo, Chamber," in which may be seen all the Sovereigns, warriors, and statesmen who contributed towards the e statblishment of what was then considered a lasting p eace, in the year 1815. There may be seen a fall longth and striking likeness of the late Alexander 1., Em peror of all the Russias, with Pins VII. by his side, and Prince Schwartzenburg smiling upon them from the gallery above, precisely opposite to the stern features of the late Duke of Wellington. With a display of gene rosity and good taste which has always been the distin guiAing trait, of her Majesty's rule, this room is hence forth to be called thp Picture Gallery, the name of " Waterloo " being erased from the conventional tradi tions of Windsor Castle. ''_lie largest triumphal arch, in Castle-street, is being emoted by Mr. Titcomb, the enterprising builder of Cfe'.ver, under the gratuitous superintendence of Mr. Bedborough, one of the borough magistrates. The de sign is one that will strike by its novelty, being almost entirely architectural. The ornamental portion of it consists of the national flag of the French, English, and Tinrkish empires, accompanied by the Imperial Crown and Eagle of France. There will be several appropriate mottoes, and the whole will be brilliantly illuminated with coloured lamps. The workmen have been engaged tAight and day, and last night a gallery was erected on the top of it sufficiently large to accommodate an orches tri of 200 musicians. The triumphal arch at the entrance from the Great VVet.tern station, extending from the house s o f M r . Lgyton and Mr. Lamb, is in the course of construction lair Mr. Alderman Adam. The design is not yet suffi ciently developed to give a satisfactory description. The preparations for the reception of the Emperor awl Empress of the French, at Guildhall, will surpass whatever has been attained in that building upon any si railar occasion. At the east ena of the Hall will be emoted an Imperial dais, or throne, the whole of the fittings b* , *.Messrs. Herring and Son, of Fleet-street, the City upholsterers. The dais and steps thereto will be covered w ith a carpeting of purple velvet, fringed with gold bullion, arid sprinkled with gold bees. Upon this will be placed Vito gorgeous chairs of state, in velvet and gold, the backs of - each displaying the cypher N, encircled with a wreath of laurel beautifully embroidered in gold. Above a noble canopy, also of purple velvet, decorated with colclen bees and gold fringe lined with elegant silver thssire in relief. Upon this dais, or throne, the Emperor of the French, and. Empress, will receive the civic ad- . drntae p rior . t o th e F ree d om b e i ng presente d to hi s Ma j~ sat Around the western portion of the ball, nume rous seats, covered with crimson cloth, will be erected for ladies, and similar seats will be placed for 1,200 pen sons at the exterior of the building in Guildhail y ar d, which will be also enclosed by a temporary build ig or pavilion covered with waterproof canvas, fitted up by . B. Edgington, of Duke-street, London-bridge. This rib' be internally decorated with scarlet and white drape r lea, flags, &c. A space of twenty feet in width is left for the imperial cortege to pass through, and from thence r‘ covered way of canvas, supplied from the same esta hlishment and similarly decorated, wilt extend to Glresham-street, at which point the imperial visitors and rdtandants will alight, and from thence to the entrance o f - the building fur the precession to walk upon, a criinsr e c p the a as also at the rear of the hall, contiguous to a rc;hitects' and town clerk's offices, and a canvas cover ii lg; s eighty o as t feet formarefreshment long, lined with room.scarlet p THE BOY AL PATRIOTIC FUND. the —4.-- The subjoined letters will be read with interest 217, strand, April 12, 1855. !Sir, —As it may be interesting to the contributors to at.vr how promptly and beneficially their funds have bcc a applied, I venture to enclose a letter from the hoz lorary secretary of the Patriotic Fund, stating a,ppropriation of the first instalment of the proceeds of ti le exhibition and sale of the Art Contribution Gallery,d 1:!1, Pall-mall.

( From the Manchester Guardian of this day.) MANCHESTER, April 13.—That tendency to pause in the operations of business which was noticed in our last report becomes more apparent as the week advances. It is very perceptible that the amount of transactions is falling off. But buyers and sellers are now doing less mainly because they have already done so much. The spinners of water twist in all its ranges, and of some kinds of export mule yarn, bear themselves very inde pendently indeed towards those merchants who have orders to give out ; and contracts of any magnitude, if offered, could not be placed. India and China shirtings are also well engaged in their different classes. In print ing cloths, however, and some other articles which, a few days ago, were showing signs of recovery from depres• &on, there is now a little wavering. Longcloths and T cloths are as steady as could be expected in the absence of a Mediterranean demand. BRADFORD, April 12. —Wool—There is a better sup ply of all kinds in the market, but no better disposition to buy, except on the most limited scale. The large army contracts have tended to keep English wool at the present quotations. Yarns —The business prospects are more hopeful than they have been for a long time past. There is more inquiry for spool yarns, and reeled yarns are looking up. Pieces. —There are daily signs of im provement, and every reasonable expectation of more activity than we have known for some time past. There is a disposition to seek better prices than have been 6f late, and a prospect, we hope, of realising such. LEICESTER, April 12..—There is no improvement to notice in the home demand, and the few American or ders at present received afford but a slight relief to the operatives. IVOOLLEN TRADE.

SPAIN. _ The Madrid journals of the Bth have arrived, but they contain nothing of much importance. The Gazette announces that the Queen, as usual in Holy Week, had ordered that a man under sentence of death for murder should have the imprisonment for lif e , and d a t l h ty at fi commuted veother m t o e nabout to be tried for the same crime, should, in the event of con viction, have the sentence of death, to which they would be liable, commuted to one of per petual imprisonment. The Pope's N unc i o was endeavouring to arrange the affair between the Bishop of Osma and the government, but it was not considered likely that he would . succeed. Extensive military preparations had been m a d e to quell with rigour any attempt at disturbance. The last two numbers of the Soberania `of had been s e i ze d for the publication of seditious articles, and the responsible editor is to be prosecuted. It is stated in a letter that Lord How den had declared to the Government that he was perfectly willing that what he had done in the affair of the Protestants at Seville should be sub mitted to Lord Clarendon. The Bth being Sunday, the Stock Exchange was not open. It was stated in a letter from Lisbon, via Madrid, that the D u k e o f S aldanha has, on account of ill health, res i gned the Ministry of War to Viscount de Luz, but that he retains the presidency of the council and the command of the army.

Several alterations were made in the numbers of the men and officers embarked at Portsmouth on board the Peninsular and Oriental Steam Company's new trans port Alma, Captain Evans. The following is a cor rect list of the troops she received :—Coldstream Guards Colonel Drummond, Lieutenant -Colonel Cocks, Captain Thellusson, Lieutenants Lane and Adair, two servants, 307 non-commissioned o ffi cers and priv a t es , an d six horses. Grenadier Guardi—Lieu tenant-Colonel Wynyard, Captains Digby and the Hon. W. Quinn, Lieutenants Earl of Carrick and Malet,, two servants, 412 non-commissioned officers and privates, and two horses. Scots Fusilier Guards—Lieut.-Colonel Hepburn, Captain Astley, Lieutenants Campbell, the Hon. M'Hay, and Moncrieffe, four servants, 310 non commissioned officers and privates, and one horse. Rifle Brigade—Lieutenants Baillie and Woodford, En signs Eccles and Playne, Major Bordmore, 20th, Cap• tains Arbuckle, 57th, and Dowbiggin, and the R ev . E. J. Parker Medical Staff—Staff Surgeons Hadley and M'Andrew, and Assistant-Staff Surgeon Coates. These were all on board yesterday and very comfort. ably berthed. Capt. Evans and his officers were mod assiduous in their personal attention to the officers and men. The ship was visited during the day by Lord George Paukt, Lord George Lennox, Colonel Sibthorp, M.P., Fee. At about half-past 6 o'clock the Alma steamed out of harbour for her destination. She left with 1,030 men besides her own crew, 30 officers, and 19 horses. She landed the detachments of the 18th Royal Irish and the 50th. The 71st and the Sappers and Miners did not arrive.. The troops went away in high spirits, and there is no reason to doubt that the first trip of the vessel will be aisatisfactory one in every respect. The Great Britain, steam-transport, Captain Grey, also embarked at Portsmouth Dockyard yesterday the following troops :-Ist Foot, Ist battalion, Captain Car lyon, Lieutenants Brady and Lowe, Ensigns Heywood and Watson ; and Lieutenant Oakes and 128 men. 4th Foot, Captain Wilby, Lieutenants Constable, George, Elliott ' and Breton, and 128 men. 18th Royal Irish, Major Call, Captains Ward and Graves, Lieutenants I),,eklim 2 ton, Ring, and Wilfor3, Ensign Cettee, and 128 men. 23th Regiment, Captains Huey and Gerstein, Lieutenant r Turner, Sinith, Day, and Irwin, and 128 men. 38th Regiment, Captain Daniel, Lieutenants Snell and Hume, Ensigns Stansfield and Wilkie, arid 128 men. 44th Regiment, Captains Green and Mansfield, Lieutenants Kendall, Pigott, Raymond, and Hoieaith, and 128 men. East Kent Militia, 22 officers, 599 men, 2 officers' wives, 2 children, 48 men, and 43 children. A very good sys tem was pursued in embarking troops in this ship. Each soldier, on passing.the gangboard and entering the ship, had one buckle of his knapsack eased bp the captain, another officer gave the man a printed ticket, correspond ing with the number of the part of the ship he was to be berthed in, and the number of the hammock he would find slung for him, and also with the number painted over the hook of the hammock ; thus, men were told off in an orderly, steady, regular, and certain manner. The men having had the night to settle comfortably into their places, the ship will leave Portsmouth harbour early ihis morning for Malta. The detachment which crossed over from the Isle of Wight to go on board her had largely printed upon their tattered colours, "The 28th Slashers —Sebastopol or death." All cheered vociferously. The Duke of Wellington, 131, Captain Caldwell, at Spithead, got up a new foreyard yesterday, and looks all ataunt again. Her tender, the Lightning, will be ready to attend upon her this day, it is expected. On Thursday the screw steam-ship Russell, Captain F. Soott, proceeded out on a trial of her machinery. She left Sheerness harbour at 7.30 a.m., went down the Swin and continued running between the Nere and the Mouse light-vessels, until she returned into harbour at 6 p.m. Her machinery acted in every way satisfactorily ; she made from 85 to 102 revolutions per minute with an average of 471 b. per square inch. Her speed under un favourable circumstances (the screw propeller not being sufficiently immersed in consequence of her not being down to her intended draught water line) exceeded 7 knots. Diameter of screw propeller, 12 feet ; pitch of ditto, 9 feet 6 inches ; 30-inch cylinder, (effective), and 30-inch stroke. The Hawke, 60, screw steam-ship, Captain E. Oin manney, passed Sheerness from Folly Point yesterday morning, and proceeded out of port ou a trial of her machinery. Commander Victor G. Hickley (12th December, 1850), has taken up his commission in the Childers, 12-gun sloop at Chatham. She is ordered to be got ready for sea with all possible despatch and 'proceed to the Nore. China is named as her destination. • Mr. Randal M`Donneli, Acting Assistant-Surgeon of the Janus, has left Sheerness to join the Duke of Wel lington for service in the Lightning steam tender. The Trafalgar, 120 guns, will be taken into the fitting basin at Sheerness this day. Her officers, marines, and the remaining part of the crew, will be lodged in the naval barracks in the dockyard. The Admiralty have been pleased to grant permission for all the Russian prisoners now on board the Devon shire receiving ship at Sheerness, to have two interme diate days in every month to go on shore for exercise and recreation. There are at present about twenty-five Russian subjects on board, exclusive of other prisoners, for breaking the blockade, and whose vessels have been seized under assimilated papers. The Volage, 22, floating magazine for the Baltic, is getting on rapidly with her rigging and internal fitments , . She is daily expected to be commissioned, and can be got ready for sea in a few days. A general order has been issued from the Deputy- Adjutant-General's office, Woolwich, stating that the Government has sanctioned an augmentation to the Royal Regiment of Artillery from the Ist of April, 1855, of one battalion, to be numbered the 14th, and to consist of the f o ll ow i ng eetablisditneet :—Staff-1 colonel commandant, 2 colonels, 3 lieutenant-colonels, 1 lieu tenant-colonel on major's pay, 1 adjutant, 1 quartermas ter, 1 seig ean t- me j or , 1 quartet ma eter-serg eTtd-a' 1 re ir., 8 pository , ergeant.
