E. to D. —1..1 6 111 loacAmm., rm. wen,ther q lr kfTli ~~i~z, LONDON, TUESDAY, JUNE 12, 1855. The termination of the Conferences at Vienna, and the abortive result of the negotiations entered into solely in deference to the wishes of Austria, render it imperative th *le Ministers of FRANCIS JOSEPH should definitil, e,y decide on the course which they will now pursue. In accordance with the terms of the treaty of the 2d of December, they are bound to consider the mode in which the objects of the contracting parties can be car ried into practical execution. But mere con sideration is not sufficient. They must, accord ing to the true interest and meaning of that solemn undertaking, be prepared to enforce, or to aid and assist in evforcivg, the reasonable demands of the Western Powers. It was not through the perverse obstinacy or undue demands of the re presentatives of France and England that the ne gotiations so completely failed. Austria approved of the terms tendered for the acceptance of Russia; nay, more, there is reason to believe that they were accepted by the Plenipotentiaries of the Allies at her special instance and request. At the conference of the 26th April, after Lord Jorrg RUSSELL had left Vienna, Count BUOL declared that " the project developed by the Minister for Foreign Affairs of France, and declared by the Plenipotentiaries of Russia, contained a com plete and efficacious system ; but that he could not say so much of the proposition put forward that day." He, therefore, officially declared his approbation of the proceedings of the Allies, and debarred himself from setting up any objection against their conduct. There is, there fore, nothing to excuse, or even extenuate, the evasion by Austria of the responsibility she deli berately undertook. But Russia well knew the character of Austria, so far as the Government is concerned—which we shall not willingly confound with the People— with whom she had to deal, that she is still " Fortune's champion, who did never fight But when her humorous ladyship is by To teach her safety." The Four Points were, therefore, accepted, al though there was not the slightest intention of really acting thereon. The two first Points were partially settled, although with reserva tions quite sufficient to allow Russia "to drive a coach and six " through them at any time she thought the " interests of Germany" were thus satisfied, and Austria had no further care. She regarded not her forfeited faith, or the disgrace that must attend its palpable viola tion. By contemptible trickery and mendacity she wriggled herself into the occupation of the Principalities; by pretending a regard for the cause of justice, she placed herself in what she thought to be an advantageous position, ready, like her prototype, the fox, to step in and obtain the prize of victory, when the nobler combatants were exhausted by the severity of the contest. ft _ She does not, however, as yet, see her way „ n ciently clear, without danger to herself, to crush either side. She, therefore, vacillates and trickles as before, and has evinced a sublime contempt of her engagements worthy of a professional per juror. Her first step, after the closing of the Con ferences, seems to be the diminution of her arma alents. She is withdrawing her troops, and re dueing 100,000 men of her army. There can be, but little, if any, doubt of her real object in so doing. It is not merely to observe a neu trality—disgraceful at all times—but especially so considering the expectations she his excited, the solemn pledges by which she has i ound her self—but to render valuable assistance to Russia, to relieve the troops of that Power on the frontiers, and enable them to proceed to the Crimea to take part in the fierce conflict there raging. Her attitude is to be one of " expectancy ;" that is to say, waiting to strike a blow whenever she can do so with impunity. We are by no means surprised at this course ; on the contrary, we predicted it ab initio, before even the breaking out of the War, when in 1853 and 1854 we were " waiting for Austria," just as we have been in 1855. All parties have now come round to the opinions we then promulgated, and even Lord JOHN RUSSELL himself has confessed that it is hopeless to expect the active co-operation of Aus tria. When, then, are the " talismanic words" to he uttered ? When are the names of Italy ! Hungary! ! Poland ! ! ! to be proclaimed trumpet tongued from every part of Europe ? When is ven geance to fall on the plunderers who participated in the nefarious robbery of ruined Poland. There is no reason NI by we should now truckle to Austria when she not merely truckles to our ad versary, but dares to threaten ourselves. If ever " Germanism" was at a heavy discount in Great Britain it is so at this moment. The " concealed influences" can no longer curb the just indigna tion of the British people. Austria must be either for us or against us. If for us, let her say so at once, and let her deeds be in accordance with her words. If against us, let the most efficient means be at once adopted, and these means are indicated by the talismanic words—ltaly ! Hungary ! ! Poland 11 ! The most arrant alarmist of the day, is, unques tionably, the gentleman who discoursed so elo quently, on Thursday evening, to the House of Commons, about batter-puddings—that pugnaci ous peacemonger the Hon. Member for the city of Manchester. His retrospects were most mourn ful—his comments upon the present most lachry mose—his anticipations of the future most lugu brious. Mr. BRIGHT threatened his countrymen with a bad harvest, with disastrous campaigns, with scarcity at home and disease abroad, with peril to our arms and injury to our commerce, with an utterly bootless effusion of our blood and of our treasures. Looking to the past, he took care to remind us that within the last twelve months we have expended upon the War, between 30,000 and 40,000 men, and from 30,000,0001. to 40,000,0001. sterling ! Looking to the future he warned us that we must prepare for still larger sacrifices and still more considerable dis bursements. Trade, he intimated, had suffered already from the circumstance of our having ad ventured upon this extravagant enterprise. It would suffer still more. Our energies must infallibly become yet further crippled—and so forth ! The Honourable Member sounded the whole gamut of alarm from the treble to the dia pason. And common sense tells us all the while to test by Mr. BRIGHT'S favourite criterion of facts and figures the real value of this grand "rhetorical artifice"—this poisoned shaft barbed with all the point of impassioned invective, and winged with all the energy of an infuriated declamation. How, let us ask, do matters actually stand with us, while the Honourable Member for Manchester is still howling over our calamitous situation ? Why, for one thing, as the Prime Minister Yin self remarked at the close of the discussion on the night of the Bth-9th instant, so far from our manufacturing fmrest•s. for oxample, 'having suf fered in consequence of this struggle with Russia, as many as 40,000, instead of as usual 30,000, bales of cotton are being commenced weekly in the factories of Manchester. Nor is this all. The indications of continued prosperity in this country in spite of the War are by no means restricted to the solitary fact adduced in contradiction to Mr. BRIGHT'S assertions by Viscount PALIIERSTON. Besides this increased consumption of cotton in the Manchester manufactures, a number of strongly corroborative circumstances of a kindred nature may be readily enumerated. Among other things, for instance, the demand for money far commer cial purposes is well known to have recently im proved, if anything, rather than become deterio rated. The stock of gold in the Bank all the while increasing, and this, moreover, simultaneously with the drain caused by reviving activity in the French exchanges. The balance in the exporta- tions and importations of the precious metals during the past week showing, at the same time, under the former head shipments of some 50,0001. to the European continent, and of 463,0001. to India and China, and under the latter head of 9,000/. from the Peninsula, of 60,0001. from Australia, of 197,000/. from New York, and from Mexico and the West Indies of some 2,400,000 dollars. Added to the significant fact of the increase of gold depo sits in the bank—there has been upon the last month an increase upon the previous month to the extent of 560,5421. in the money actually in circulation in the United Kingdom. Again :as to the Harvest---notwithstanding the almost un exampled abundance of the last, and the infre quency of an immediate repetition of plenty in the ensuing season, the accounts received from all parts of the country as to the promise given by the budding craps are in the highest degree fa vourable. This, too, in spite of the unusual severity of the winter, and of the more than ord nary tardiness of the spring. Everything almo3t —look where we will—seems directly to contravene the arguments adventured upon with so much perverse temerity by the Honourable Member for Manchester. Besides all which, lot the IN:sdom of that old axiom not be overlooked in the present instance, which pronounces that one of two disputants to be in fault who loses his temper in the discussion It cannot but be admitted on all hands, that those who displayed in the most flagrant manner during the recent debates in the House of Commons, that captiousness and that irritability which find their readiest vent in virulent personalities and rancorous vituperating, were the meek and placid prophets of tide Peace-at-any-Price party—the suave and genial representative of the Wes Riding, and after him the gentle and all-forgiving Member for the city of Manchester. The proper limits of legislation are by no means so clearly defined as to occasion no difficulty even to those who would have them most rigidly ob served. Nearly all legislation is based on com promise, or materially modified by it. The law which gives us protection limits our actions in order to insure that protection. Society, in fact, is bound together by compromise ; and to carry out the idea of liberty as it is too often sought to carry principles out would be to produce a license that would infallibly destroy it. The simple rules to be followed are to give as much liberty to the individual as is compatible with the welfare of society, and in doubtful cases to give society the prefer. The j ect of Sunday legislation, among others, is pot without its difa c • ultles ; and when our cor- THE SUN, LoINI TUESDAY EVENING, JUNE 12, 1855 respondent " Alpha" asks, at the outset, "How far have we a (legislative) right to buy or sell on the LORD'S-day ?" We are un able to give him an answer so definite as he may desire. But laying aside, as he does not, though intending to do so, what he calls a religious consideration of the question, we will tell him in what light we, as journalists, are accustomed to regard it. Apart from religious considerations, he has arrived at the conclusion that " the seventh day, as a day of rest, is man's inalienable birthright-- the poor man's absolute and positive right." How lie has done so we are unable to discover, since the sixth or eighth day might serve the purpose, and we know of no other charter than the Scrip tural one. Not to dwell on this, we cordially admit the propriety—nay, the necessity—of the observance of a weekly day of rest, in order to promote and maintain the common welfare. All the facts brought to bear on the subject go to prove that a weekly twenty-four hours' abstinence from toil, whether manual or mental, and release from confinement, with its unhealthy atmosphere, and the burden of enervating routine, tend to the health and moral elevation of the individual, and to the strength and stability of the State. A day of rest, or Sabbath granted, and our notion of rest does not exclude the breathing of pure air in green fields, we come to the mode in which it should be enforced. Now the object of a day of rest being to benefit individuals, and through them society, whatever frustrates that object, or leaves them worse than it found them is to be carefully avoided.. It is well for every one to attend church or chapel, but a law that would compel such attendance would produce infinite mischief if enforced. So far from the interests of religion being s3rved a deep and lasting dislike to religion would follow. So with Sunday trading. It would be well if there were nothing to prevent every trader from shutting up shop and taking a holiday the whole of Sunday. But unfortunately there is. The poor laborious mechanic who reaches borne with his hard earnings late on Sa turday night ; the poor wretch who may not re ceive the means to purchase his Sunday food until the morning of that day ; what could they do if every shop was closed against them ? Why they must starve or steal. This is notorious. The ultra-Sabbatarian party, in fact, are compelled to admit that wages are paid in thousands of in stances so late on Saturday night as to be useless till the following morning, and that some change must be made in the time of payment. But they do not attempt to secure the required change first. The observance of the Sabbath appears to be their only consideration, and so that it be pro moted, the'poor, to whom the LORD of the Sabbath ministered, may perish, or break through the boundaries of law and entail on themselves the disastrous consequences. When, therefore, we j oppose the bill for the prevention of Sunday trading in London. We should like to see the Sunday a day of recreation in an enlarged sense to all—but we must yield to a pa ramount claim. We contend for the h..- alienable and primal right of the poor to live, and to have the opportunity to do so honestly. And when our correspondent asks to whom those engaged in traffic are to look for protection, we can only reply—lt is better that they, a few, should suffer some little privation, than that countless thousands should be deprived of their Sunday fare and be put in the way of temptation. LATEST NEWS. EVACUATION OF ANAPA BY THE RUSSIANS. ADMIRALTY, JUNE 12, 1855. Mr. Osborne presents his compliments to the Editor of The Sun, and begs to inform him ;hat intelligence has just been received that the Russians have evacuated Anapa, and are supposed to have crossed the Kouban. The Circassians are in the place. PARIS, TUESDAY, JUNE 12, 7.30 A.M. The Moniteur announces that the Minister of War has received the following despatch from General Pelissier, dated Crimea, June 9, 11. p.m.:— " The situation is the same as yesterday. " All the demonstrations of the enemy against the conquered works haNe , 'fruitless. "They have abandoned ca.,. `-called battery of the 2d May ; they have also completely aban doned to us the right shore of Careening Bay. " The vessels in port have sought refuge in Artillery Bay, where our large mortars can reach them. " We are watching them attentively." The Russian works with which the Allies must have had to deal on the Gth are the advanced line of defences around the Arsemil. and Karabelnia suburb, commencing with the redoubts on the right of Careeninc , Bay and following the line to the south, or Admiralty Harbour. This compre hends the Lunette battery immediately above Careening Bay on the left, or west side, a new re doubt thrown up lately on the cliff above the road stead, and still further to the left than the last named work, the Mamelon Redoubt, and the Malakhoff, Redan, and Barrack Batteries. It is quite as certain that the Malakhoff batteries, built around the ruins of the original White Tower, is the pdint to which the besiegers are working, as that these batteries do not, as has been suggested to the public, constitute the White Work taken on the 7th inst., Upon the Malakhoff batteries the enemy has concentrated the vigour of his defensive ener gies, and the besiegers have uniformly regarded the same works as the key of the whole position. The Mamelon, now in our possession, of course commands every part of the Malakhoff works. Our guns, when mounted in this newly-acquired position, will have a double advantage over those of the enemy, arising once from the elevation of theMa melon—implied in its name—and the depression of the Malakhoff batteries below the general level, lying, as they do, at the bottom of a hollow. At the second bombardment it was found that while the Mamelon was greatly injured by the guns of Gordon's battery, the Malakhoff batteries, although 400 yards (according to Prince Gortsciaakoff) behind it, suffered much more. The Mamelon itself is a steep rocky eminence, about a mile in circumference at the base, au about a quarter of a mile at the top. Its average height from what was lately our advanced parallel is about 100 feet. The approach to it was swept by about 40 guns in the Malakhoff works ; its own guns made it truly formidabl e , and wen it is added that its steep sides are covered with masses of rock and loose stones, the difficulty of the enter prise of July 7 becomes apparent, and its success more striking. Already the besiegers must have in the freedom of their gunsmove ments, of the Mamelon c om pl e t e l y m gai ne n t e s d , considerably a s the Mamelon commanded the ravine of of Otchakov just before it expands into the irregular-shaped valley lying at the foot of Frenchman's-hill. gotiation is for the moment at an end, and the Western Powers, grown wise by experience, hardly again consent to treat with Russia until they are in a position to dictate the conditions of peace. A day or two since Prince Gortschakoff had a very long audience of the Emperor, and yesterday Ali Pasha waited on his Majesty to return thanks for the Grand Cross of the Order of St. Stephen. It is self-evident that the Austrian Government is desirous of making a friend of the new Grand Vizier, but Ali Paella is said to be much less in clined to submit to foreign influence than some of his colleagues at Constantinople. Two of the Se cretaries who accompanied the Special Commis sioner of the Porte to this city have received the Commander's Cross of the Order of Francis Joseph. After the procession was over yesterday the Emperor and Empress left Vienna for the Castle of Laxenburg, where they will pass the summer. The Toronto Globe intimates that the removal of the seat of the Canadian Government to Toronto is pretty certain. A Government agent has been at Toronto making arrangements for the necessary buildings. The departures from the port of London for the Aus tralian colonies during the past week have comprised only three vessels —two for Melbourne and one for Adelaide, with an aggregate capacity of 1,527 tons. The rates of freight exhibit little alteration. Mr. Arthur Guinness, the head of the great brewing establishment, known over the four quarters of the world for its incomparable )OC, is no more, having died on Saturday, at the advanced age of 88. A very large seizureof malt, said to exceed 1,5001. in value, was made a few days since in the vicinity of Dub lin. It is said,lhowever ; that the parties expect to adduce proof sufficient to release all or a portion of it from the Customs warehouse. Yesterday there was an advance of Id on the 41b. loaf of wheaten bread throughout the metropolis. The charge now made for third quality, or household bread, is 9d. ; the second quality bread is 10d. ; and best bread 114 d. the 41b. The indefatigable Barnum has just favoured the pro digy-loving public of New York, with the announcement of a new marvel, i,e„ the "infant Esau, two years old, covered with hair, and has already a full-beard and whiskers 1" The Dumfries Courier says that the closing to the public cf the renowned marrying establishment yclept Gretna-hall, is about to take place. AMERICAN INTERVENTION IN EUROPE.—A rumour has been going the rounds of the newspapers to the effect that ex-President Tyler was about to proceed to Europe, there to join Messrs. Van Buren And Fillmore, and that the three were to mediate between Russia and the Western Powers. Of course there was no truth in it. The idea was seriously entertained at one time by several personages in Congress, and was briefly dis cussed in that body. But it was understood from the representatives of the Western Powers, that no inter vention in the quarrel was desired or could be enter tamed ; and the project was dropped immediately. MR. ROEBUCK'S COMMITTEE ON THE ARMY BEFORE SEBASTOPOL—The members of the Committee on the Army before Sebastopol again assembled yesterday to further consider their report. The whole of the mem bers of the committee were present. After a stormy sitting of four hours, they had not concluded upon their report, and they will meet again this day. It is, how ever, fully expected that the report will belaid before the house in the course of the present week. AN A EROLITE.—There is now to be seen in the Mu seum of tEconomie Geology in Jermymstreet, a part of the trunk of a willow tree lately felled in Battersea Fields, in the centre of which was found an aerolite, or havemeteoric stone, of very large size, which seems to have fallen on the tree many years ago, and to have embedded itself in its substance. "It is a prodigious curiosity . (says the Gardeners' Chronicle), and well worth exa mination." CLOSING OLD SMITHFIELD MARKET.—Yesterday after noon, immediately after the termination of the day's business at Smithfield, notices were posted on all parts of the market, signed by Sir G. Grey, her Majesty's Secretary of State for the Home Department, informing the public that the Corporation of L o nd o n W*o com plied with the whole of the provisi ons of, arkets Act, in the formation of the New Market at tropen'hagen fields, Islington, he had fixed the New Market and slaughter-houses to be opened on Friday next, the 15th inst. ; and that henceforth Smithfield would entirely cease to be a market for the sale of horses and cattle. The sale of hay and straw will be continued as usual. In the general business of the port of London during the past week there has been continued activity. The total number of vessels reported inward was 244, being only 15 less than in the previous week. The number of ships cleared outward was 152, showing a decrease of 8 ; out of this total no less than 35 were in ballast. The number of ships on' the berth loading for the Australian colonies on the Bth inst. was 62. Of these 7 were for Adelaide, 5 for Geelong, 5 for Hobart Town, 3 for Launceston, 4 for Melbourne, 1 for Moreton Bay, 4 for New Zealand, I for Nelson and Wellington, 1 for New castle, 10 for Port Philip, 2 for Portland Bay, and 19 for Sydney. SEIZURE OF A VESSEL AT IPSWICH.—A large foreign barque, of 304 tons burden, called the Nina, which has been some time in the port of Ipswich, under Austrian colours, was seized on Wednesday, by authority of the Admiralty, on suspicion of being Russian property. She brought a cargo of linseed from the Black Sea, consigned to a firm in Ipswich. The Nina was built at Sunder. land, and was purchased while at Odessa by her present owner, alleged to be an Austrian. She sailed under Russian colours until September, 1853, the date of her present papers. At th a t p er i o d she assumed the Aus trian flag, under which she remained until her seizure. She is now in the hands of the authorities, and will so remain until her true ch arac t er h as b een thoroughly in vestigated.—lpswich Tou,rnal. PEDESTRIANISM. JOHN HOTINE AND WILLIAM BASSETT.—Yesterday the match between these metro politan pedestrians to walk seven miles for 501. came off on Sadler's enclosed ground, Garratt-lane, Wandsworth. Hotine was the favourite, his backers laying the odds of 30 to 25. Bassett throughout the first and second lap kept up with his opponent, but in the third succeeded in just getting away from him ; at the finish of the mile he was leading by a few yards. Hotine from the fifth mile took the lead and went in a winner by five yards, doing the distance in 53 minutes 40 seconds. DESTRUCTIVE FIRE NEAR DOVER.--Early on Thurs day morning a fire broke out in some extensive premises situated about a mile from Dover, and formerly known as Maxton Farm, but which are now occupied by Mr. H. Worthington, who carries on the business of a brewer. Fortunately the accident we have to record did not re sult in any injury to the business premises, or to the plant employed, although we regret to state that Mr. Worthington's dwelling-house was completely gutted, and nearly the whole of its contents destroyed. The. house and furniture were insured in the Alliance and Norwich Union Assurance Offices. The furniture, we hear, was insured for 400/. ; and the total loss, which was estimated at rather over 1,0001., is, we understand, more than covered by the combined insurance.--Dover Chronicle. REPORTED GERMAN INTRIGUES.—We learn that the successes of the French army in the Crimea are giving rise to most uncomfortable apprehensions in Berlin, Brussels, and at some of the petty Courts, where the notion existgthat these successes will tend to " feed the love for glory," and awaken the traditions and views of the first Napoleon upon' Germany. In consequence of this, the most deeply-laid intrigues are said to be carried on, with the view of opposing the diplomacy of England to that of France in Germany, and, to give the former a predominating influence. The extraordinary speeches of Mr. Gladstone, Mr. S. Herbert, and Sir James Graham, are all said to karmonise with the views of the Courts of Berlin, Brussels, &c., the great object of whose diplomacy is to bring the war to a close, as soon as some further events take place in the Crimea, in order to break up the Anglo-French alliance.. We believe the Minister whom these monarchs would desire to see at the head of affairs in England is Lerd John Russell, and we should not be surprised if their favourite, before the lapse of many weeks, is called upon to form a Go vernment. The rumour that Lord Palmerston will soon he elevated to the Peerage is again current; bat we re gret to hear it surmised that, should his lordship not submit to the counsels of Lord Lansdowne and other=, Lard John Russell, in all probability, will, on the proper occasion, deal with ;the present Ministry much as he did with that of Lord Aberdeen.—Morning Advertiser. MERCHANT TAILORS' COMPANY.—The annual election of scholars to St. John's College, Oxford, and other university preferments, from the sch oo l o f th e M erc h an t Tailors' Company, o°ll place yesterday. After an exa mination, which was rep or t e d t o b e sat i s f actory, W, H . Smith, d. A. S. Austin, and Wm. Holding were elected to Probationary Fellowships at St. John's College, Ox ford ; R. C. Ward was appointed Stuart Exhibitioner, and Albert G. Strutte, Parkin Exhibitioner to Cam bridge. The Master of the Company (Mr. Jaeomb), the Wardens, and a large assembly of guests and old scholars, then proceeded to the School-room, where speeches were delivered. The head-master, the Rev. Dr. Hussey, then distributed the prizes, of which the following; are the chief :—Latin Verse—W. H. Smith ; General Latin Literature—W. H. Smith ; General Greek Literature—W. H. Smith ; History—C. A. S. Austin ; Montefiore Hebrew Medal—James Mew ; Chief Mathematical Prizes—W. R. Blackburn and E. F. M'Carthy ; Chief French Prize—R. F. Clarke. In the evening the Master and Warden entertained a nu merous party at dinner, in their hall in Threadneedle street. The chair was taken by Mr. Charles Jacomb, the master, who was supported by his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, the Marquis of Salisbury, Lord Viscount Hardinge, the Lieut.-General Sir George Pol lock, and other distinguished guests. OPENING OF THE SMITH WALES RAILWAY FROM HAVERFORDWEST TO NEYLAND.—AII the arrangements for opening the line from Haverlordwest to Neyland have been entered into, and according to present arrange ment, the 20th of August is the day fi xe d f or th e open i ng. Mr. Brunel, accompanied by Mr. Bennett, and Mr. Con der, visited Haverford west on Tuesday and Wednesday, and walked over the line to Neyland. There is to be a sta tion at Johnston,for both passengers and goods—the sta tions and all the offices are at once to be built, both at Neyland and Johnston, and Messrs. F. Conder and Co. have, we learn, obtained the contracts. The object of Mr. Brunel's visit was to decide where the landing pier for the passengers is to be built—and we understand, that the line is to be carried on to the end of the yard, in the stream beyond the Royal William, where there is water enough for the largest steamer to come alongside. The timber is being fast prepared at the contractors' yard, and there are many cargoes of rails on the way from Newport, and before the end of the summer we may look out for a beginning for the American and Irish traffic. There are now only two bridges to be finished between Haverfordwest and Neyland, and the line is ballasted for more than six and a half miles. The two unfinished bridges are at Johnston—one on the public road to Rosemarket, and the lather an accomodation bridge on Mr. Carrow's farm. SUCCESSFUL ENTERPRISE IN THE IRON TRADE.—The following estates have been purchased by Messrs. Baird, of Gartsherrie Iron Works, in the central iron district of Scotland, within the last five years :—The late Mr. Baird, Closeburn and Shawls estate, 225,000/. ; Mr. William Baird, Eli; 145,0001. ; ditto, Rosemount and whitefield, 50,000/. ; Mr. Alexander Baird, Ury, 120,0001. ; Mr. James Baird, Cambusdoon, 50,000/. ; Mr. George Baird, Striehen, 140,000/. ; Mr. David Baird, Stitchel,-165,0001. ; Mr. Robert Baird, Auchma den, 60,000/. ; total 955,0001. The Messrs. Baird have been in all respects the architects of their own 'fortunes. The sons of a respectable farmer in Lanarkshire, their patrimony was but small; yet, small. as it was, aided and guided by judicious enterprise, courage, integrity, and perseverance, they have fought their way manfully to fortune, and are at present the largest iron manufac turers in the British empire. AUSTRIA. VIENNA, Juno B.—This morning the 14th and final protocol of the Vienna Conference was de spatched to London. There is a strong impression that the greater part of the diplomatic world has during the last 12 or 15 months been " led by the nose." Few persons who have carefully watched the progress of events during the last few months will fail to entertain some suspicion that a perfect understanding prevails between the Courts of Russia, Austria, and Prussia, even though the Governments of two of those countries still seem to be playing at cross-purposes. The comedy of ne- PRUSSIA. - • - •— - - BERLIN, June 9.—The following particulars, as derived from the Preussiche Correspondenz, will serve to show what amount of profit has accrued to the Zollverein, and through it to Prussia, in consequence of the accession of trade produced by the diversion of Russian trade to Prussian ports "Russia's main articles of export are, as is well known, grain, seed for crushing, flax, hemp, timber, tallow, and copper ; that is to say, articles whose large bulk in pro portion to their value renders water carriage essential. As Russia is, moreover, ill provided with roads, it is easily comprehensible that the export trade of that coun try almost exclusively avails itself of inland navigation, and for the most part finds its way to the Prussian Baltic ports. The Niemen conveys to Memel and Konigsberg the products of the Governments of \Vilna and Grodno, and the northern part of Russian Poland, as well as, by means of the Oginski Canal, those of the Governments of Minsk, Mohileff, Tscher nigoff, Kieff, and Pultowa,. Along the water line of the Vistula, together with its tributaries, the Nareff and the Bug the export of the greatest part of Russian Poland, as well as of the Government of Volhynia and Podolia, is effected at Dantzic. From the western portion of Poland merchandise finds its way along the Warthe into the Oder, and thence to the sea at Stettin. There is.thus an area of 11,000 geographical miles, or about the 10th past of Russia in Europe, which by the necessities of its position is at all times dependent on the ports of Prussia for the export of its products. "It is almost impossible to arrive with any thing like certainty at the extent of the Russian transit trade in Prussia. Of the articles above-mentioned there is a con siderable quantity produced in the Prussian Baltic pro vinces, and in Galicia. Of the whole quantity exported from the harbours of the kaltic, only such articles are susceptible of a proof of their origin, whether as Russian, Prussian, or Austrian, as are subjected to Customs' re vision on passing the Prussian frontier, as for instance, tallow, copper, and partly grain ; white on the other hand, seed for crushing, flax, hemp, and timber are free of all revision from the time of their crossing the frontier. The exports of the above-mentioned produce from the Prussian Baltic ports during the last two years are as follows 1853. 1854. Flax, hemp, tow, and hards (cwts) 238,746 ... 1,386,814 Grain, all sorts (bushels) Oil for crushing (cwts) Timber—logs Timber—planks, boards, laths, ship lasts Copper Tal low "The increase in flax, hemp, and tallow is consider able, and yet it does not amount to one-hPlf of the ex port which, before the war, took place f rom th e neigh bouring ports o f Russia, Libor', Riga, Pernau, Revel, and St. Petersburg. From the above tabular statement it will be evident that the increased export from the Prussian Baltic ports is no newly-acquired commarce, but is only the development of commercial relations of long standing, the activity of which depends on a variety of conjunctures. "As regards the supposed profit made byPrussia out of the increased traffic in her Baltic ports, an increase c' about 1,500,000 cwt. on the exports can hardly be any , thing very momentous, according to British ideas of over-sea trade. Russian flax pays five silver groschens (6d.), and Russian tallow three-and-a-half silver gros chens (4d.) per cwt. The increase of export of these two articles in 1854 brought into the Treasury of the Zollverein something less than 250,000 thalers, of which amount, after deducting the shares of the other States, about the half falls to Prussia, say 18,750." Two fresh incidents have contributed within the last few days to exacerbate still more the feeling here that was already bitter enough against Aus tria. The first is, that in spite of Austria's having addressed a special note to Prussia on the 17th ult., to request her not to make any motion at the Bund to take into consideration the bait lately thrown out by Russia, nevertheless, the note of the 25th, in which Austria lays down the course she shall take after her proposals have been re jected by the Western Powers has not been de livered to this Cabinet. The other is the circum stance that a Bohemian Catholic priest, who had lately resided a short time in Prussia for the pur • pose of entering the Protestant Church, and had complied with all the requirements of the Austrian law on the subject, has been treated with an amount of cruelty and injustice, which will go far to eclipse the Madiai case. He was fetched by police agents at night out of bed awl out of his parents' house at Prosnitz (in Moravia), and escorted back to his former monastery in Prague. As neither promises nor threats were effectual in prevailing on him to return to the " true" fold, his sufferings in his prison there were gradually but regularly increased; this torture being equally ineffectual, the monks at length pronounced him insane, and confined him with divers madmen na a dungeon close to the sewer of the building, where ho still lies. THE BALTIC FLEET. OFF CRONSTAPT, June I.—The French fleet, consisting of the Tourville (flag), Duquesne, .Aus terlitz, and the corv e tt e D'Assas rove in sight, and were saluted with 21 guns by the Duke of Welling ton, all the English ships flying the French flag at the main. It was returned by the French Ad- I ship with 15, and they anchored at 4.45 a little to the westward of our line, saluting the Eng lish flag with 21 gur t s, to correct the mistake made by returning our stint() with only 15. At 5.20 p.m. Admiral Penaud paid a complimentary visit to Admiral Dundas, with more saluting and play ing of " Partant pour la Syrie," and " God Save the Queen. In the evgning the Bulldog arrived from Faro with twc colliers in tow, bringing also the letters and newspapers brought from home by the Pylades, which she left at Faro. June 2.—Admiral Dundas returned the visit of Admiral Penaud, with more saluting and music on both sides. Admiral Dundas afterwards went re connoitring in the Merlin to the north side of Crousta,dt. After getting in as far as he possibly could in the ship, he took a boat and got within 1,700 yards of the block ships in the harbour be hind Cconstadt, and ascertained the exact position of the line of piles which intercept the passage or channel on the north of island. Admiral Sey mour paid a complimentary visit to the French Admiral, which the French Admiral returned next day, with more saluting and music. June 4.—The Risbank. Battery has been practis ing firing at a mark nearly all day. We can dis tinctly see the flash of the guns from where we lie.

SOUTHAMPTON, Monday.—The Vasco da Gaana, steam-ship, Captain Taylor, with ship letter bags, passengers, and general cargo, arrived this morn ing. She left Li s b on on th e th inst., at mid-day. By this 'tirival we receive files of newspapers from the above capital. Since the Madrid reached Southampton with the usual Peninsular mail nothing has transpired in the political hemisphere of Portugal worth recording. It appears in commerc i a l afairs that a steam c Dna pany has been formed for the purpose of a regular communication between Lisbon and the Azores—a line that was much required. The company will be I assisted by a loan from the Courts. The Electric Telegraph Company, through its chairman, Mr. Ricardo, have made a proposition to Government to make the Azores a station in the projected com munication by telegraph to America. Some little excitement has been caused at Fun elm! in consequence of the sentinel of her Majes ty's sloop Teazer having shot a poor Portuguese boy dead, who was approaching the vessel to sell his commodities. An investigation was being made into the affair, and it was reported that theunfor tunate affair originated in mistake, but how the "mistake " occurred has not transpired The weather had been boisterous in the extreme in the Tagus during the past week, and three or four vessels were dismasted. The Iberia, with th e h omew ard Peninsular mails, was expected to arrive from Gibraltar on the Bth, and would leave for Southampton on the 9th. conveying Majesty's friga te- e n dot he Malacca,bay the 31st ult., steering southward. The Great Western, steam-ship, for Southamp ton, with the River Plato and Brazilian mails, was expected at Lisbon, en route, on the 10th inst.

THE EHICSON.—The steamer Ericson, which has at tracted so much attention, has recently been refitted with now machinery, had made a trial trip thirty miles out to sea, the result of which is reported to have been highly satisfactory, and she was announced to leave New York for Havre on the I,6th of the month, under the command of Capt. Lowber.

HAYMARKET THEATRE. Last night a new five-act play, by Mr. J. Saunders, entitled Love's Martyrdom, was produced here with the most decided success. The plot is simple—love and jealousy forming the leading features. The scene of the play is laid near Lincoln, and the drama opens with preparations for a marriage. Franklyn, a noble-spirited gentleman, is about to be wedded to Margaret, wealthy heiress, whom he loves, to adoration—and she too loves him, although she hardly knows how deeply. The beauties of Franklyn's mind are counterpoised by his deformity, of which he is painfully sensible. This de formity has in a great measure restrained him in his wooing, and Margaret is rather piqued at his coolness,. as she thinks it. This circumstance becomes known to the villain of the piece, one Master Freelove, and he accordingly commences his scheme to • obtain possession of Julia, the Hayed of Clarence Franklyn. Clarence has been invited to the wedding, and with him comes Freelove. Freelove discovers the weak points of the betrothed lovers, and skilfully plays upon them, as also upon the impressible Clarence. Franklyn, persuaded that Margaret loves Clarence, re signs her in agony, and she, piqued at his indifference, as she imagines, aquiesoes in the transfer of her hand. Clarence, vain and easily led, forgets his pledge to Julia, whom be has seduced, and Freelove, triumphing in the successes of his plot, prepares to carry off Julia, who rejects his proffered love. He is baffled and slain by Laneham, Julia's brother, an artist, and devotedly at tached to Franklin, who had patronised him in his youth. Laneham breaks off the ill-omened marriage of Clarence and Margaret, and, bringing forth his sister Julia, denounces Clarence as her seducer. Explanations ensue, and the result is that Franklin marries Margaret, and things are put in train for the marriage of Julia with Clarence. Miss Helen Faucit, as Margaret, was charmingly graceful ; her acting was beyond all praise, and although the play is not devoid of defects the beautiful character of Margaret compensates for them. The little part of Julia was artisticlly sustained by Miss Swanborougb, and little Miss Schott ably acquitted herself as the maid to Margaret. The part of Franklyn, the hunch back lover, was admirably given by Mr. Barry Sullivan. To our thinking it is the best thing he has yet done— it was the performance of a gentleman and a scholar. The greatest credit is due to Mr. Howe for the capital manner in which he gave the part of Laneham, the ar tist, and the author is under great obligation to him. Mr. W. Farren had a very up-hill part, that of Clarence, which, however, he got through very ably; but tLe Freelove of a Mr. Leighton Walter frequently jeopar dised the success of the play. Mr. Buokstone has done all that could be done for the drama as regards scenery, dresses, and appointments ; they are all superb. At the fall of the curtain ,Miss Helen Faucit was called for, as she was at the end of the fourth act, and was greeted with loud applause. That the play will have a run there cannot be a doubt. ST. JAMES'S THEATRE. M. Levassor, the celebrated French comedian, is now giving a series of entertainments, partly dramatic and partly vocal, of a highly attractive character. He is as sisted by Mdlle. Julie Teisseire of the Gymnase, and by the united exertions of both artistes an entertainment is produced every way worthy of support. The house, we were glad to see, was last night fully attended. ENGLISH GLEE AND MADRIGAL UNION. The last of the series of these delightful concerts took place yesterday morning at Wiiiis's Rooms, St. James's. They sang an admirable selection from the works of the great English masters, with a perfection and beauty which delighted every hearer. The room was crowded to excess, many persons being scarcely able to get within the doors. PRILHARMONIC CONCERTS. The seventh concert, which took place last night at Hanover-square Rooms, was attended by her -Majesty and the Prince, who seldom omit honouring the society with a " bespeak" in the course of the season. The Royal party, which consisted, in addition to the Queen and suite, of the Prince of Wales, _Prince Alfred, the Princess of Hohenlohe Langenburg, and the Princesses Adelaide and Feodore of Hohenlohe, were ushered into the room by the officers of the society about a quarter past eight.

Final score —town, 129 ; country, 130. SWITZERLAND AND THE MEDITERRANEAN. — The rail way from Arona to Novara was to be opened yesterday to the public for the whole distance. Tourists visiting Switzerland for the long vaca tion may thus' be induced to extend their ratnbles to the shores of the Mediterra nean, as by crossing the Simplon or St; Gotbard .they will come at once upon steam - communication with Genoa. BUCHAREST.—On the 24th ult. Mr. Colquhoun, Bri tish Consul, was commanded by the Hospodar of Wal lachia to boiFt his flag, which was instantly saluted with 21 nuns. The Hospodar afterwards sent his Secretary of State to Mr. Colquhoun to offer the usual congratula tions. The representatives of the foreign powers, also paid every possible respect upon the occasion. RETIREMENT FROM THE ARMY OF TEE TION. ASHLEY PoNSoNBY, M.P.—A letter has been received from Cap tain,Ponsonby, in which he states that his urgent re quest for such an extension of leave as would have enabled hiM to arrange his personal affairs and fulfil the wishes of his constituents having been refused him, he• had no alternative left but to resign his commission. This he had done with regret, but imper dive duties had rendered it compulsory.

The report having been read by the secretary, his grace addressed the meeting at considerable length. At the conclusion of his address the noble duke retired from the meeting. and Sir Adam Hay, Bart., was called to the chair, and moved a vote of thanks to his grace, which was carried by acclamation. On the motion of Professor Smith the report was then adopted ; and the meeting having been addressed by the Rev. Dr. Cumming, Mr. Payne, and other gentlemen, concluded with a vote of thanks to the chairman. THE LATE CALAMITOUS FIRE AND Loss OF THREE LlVES.—Yesterday afternoon Mr. W.

The witnesses having been examined, the Coroner remarked that there ought to be an act of Parliament for the punishment of persons leaving their children without security from fire. He had written to the Secretary of State for the Home De partment on the subject. The jury concurred in the view taken by the learned coroner, and the following verdict was recorded :—" That the deceased met with their deaths through their clothes accidentally catching fire, but how, and by what means that fire was cause d , there is no legal evidence to prove." THE MILITARY " JOKING' AT 'CANTERBURY. The Commander-in-Chief has communicated to the regimental authorities his decision in this well-known case.

Hartopp is most severely reprimanded, and his conduct is to be reported every three months by his commanding officer, for the information of the Com wander-in-Chief: Lord Hardinge considers Sergeant Brodie's conduct in preventing the duel most praiseworthy, but it would have been better if he bad reported his apprehensions to his commanding officer the previous ni2ht.
