Among the obituary of this day it is our painful duty to record the death of Major-General Sir Arthur W. Torrens, K C.D., her Britannic Majesty's commissioner. This gallant officer, the son of Major-General Sir Henry Torrens, K.C.8., adjutant to the Forces, died at Paris, on the 24th of August, after a short illness, the fatal result of which was accelerated by grief at the recent death of a sister and the anxieties attendant on his du ties acting upon a constitution enfeebled by a most dan gerous wound received at Inkerman, and from which he had not yet recovered. Inflammation was the proxi mate cause of his disease. General Torrens was appointed page of honour to the Prince Regent in 1819. He received his military edu cation at Sandhurst, and in 1825 obtained a commission in the Grenadier Guards. From 1829 to 1838 he served as adjutant, and in the latter year was promoted to bri gade major, and served in the 2 1 battalion of Guards in Canada. The deceased general obtained the command of the 23d Fusiliers in 1841, b-ing subsequently in com mand of the troops in St Lucia, holding the civil govern ment thereof ex officio. He was offered the permanent lieutenant -governorship, but declined, preferring active service. Col. Torrens at this time became involved in legal investigations tending only to confirm his integrity and general ability, In 1853 he was appointed assistant quartermaster-general at the Horse Guards, which office he retained until nominated to the rank of brigadier , general to a division of the army in Turkey, and served zealously and indefatigably in the brilliant operations consequent thereon. At Ba,laklava his division was engaged in the support of cavalry, and the fourth division lost some men in recapturing two redoubts. General' Torrens, on the morning of the memorable sth of November, had but just returned from the trenches, when, under the direction of the late Sir George Cathcart, be attacked the left flank of the enemy with success, his horse falling under him pierced by five bullets. The deceased hero was in front cheering on his gallant men, when he fell from a musket shot passing through his body, injuring his lung, and splintering a rib. The bullet was found lodged in his greatccat. He was immediately carried from the field, and his friends confidently hoped that a retired life in his native country would permanently re-establish his health. Brigadier Torrens received the thanks of Par liament for his services, and was promoted to be rnajot general. He has left a widow and family. His dispo sition was quiet and unassuming, possessing much of the sang f oid of his great chief. He was beloved by his - comrades, and may be classed as another of the many victims sacrificed to repel the strides of despotic bar barism. REPRESENTATION OF HIINTINGDONSIIIRE.—The death of the late Duke of Manchester has, as a natural con sequence, caused the elevation of Viscount Mandeville to the - Upper Hot.se. The decease of the last duke bad been foreseen for some long period, in fact for several months, and the question as to who was to succeed the noble lord (now Duke of Manchester) was debated pro sod CCM in the political circles of the country. It was determined on the part of the Liberals that the matter should not pass off uncontested, and accordingly Mr. J. Heathcote, of Conington Castle, was consulted and e.entually consented to allow himself to be put in nomi nation. On the other hand the Conservatives have not been idle, anu their exertions have resulted in the nomination of Mr. James Rust, Danker, Huntingdon. .k I W ,• . . . • ' , . ........,.. ••••••,"^-,' - 1 ............. --- ..- - • .. , . • . ... il ' ) . ~/ X " . ,-. t . _/e - __ .--.

DOVER.—During Friday and Saturday last the bo rough coroner, Mr. G. Thompson, was occupied at the Town-hall, inquiring into the circumstances of the sion between the Vivid mail (Dover and Calais) steamer, and the Henry, of Yarmouth, which resulted in the foundering of the latter vessel, and the loss of Captain High, the master, and two of his crew. The proceed ings excited more than ordinary interest, frpm the cir cumstance of its being alleged that the unfortunate event arose from neglect and an indifferent look out on the part of the steamer.. On the other hand it is averred that the catastrophe resulted from the nun-observance of the Admiralty regulations, which require all vessels at anchor to exhibit a bright light, a 'precaution more necessary when moored in the roadstead, where mail packets are so often crossing the Channel. It may be remembered that on the evening of the 11th inst. the Henry brought up cff the mouth of this harbour, some three-quarters of a mile off, when she was run into by the Vivid, Captain Watson, which was on her way from Dover to Calais, with the mails and about eighty passengers. At the moment the greatest alarm pre vailed amongst those on board, as, from the fearful cha racter of the shock it was apprehended that the steamer was sinking. Mr. Churchward, with Mr. Stillwell, ap peared for the Royal Mail Continental Steam-Packtist Company ; Mr. Payne (the mayor) said he attended to watch the proceedings on the part of the owners of the Henry ; and Mr. Irons represented the Marine Depart ment of the Board of Trade. Robert Hastings and William Rudrum, two of the Henry's crew, deposed that about il o'clock on the night in question there was a lantern with a light in it banging on the starboard- side of the span of the foreboom. A large fire was burning as well in the galley. About half past eleven a steam-boat approached. front Dover, 04 when about 50 fathoms off she was bailed, but directly * afterwards she ran into the'Henry, atrikin :the starboard how with her larboard paddle-boa. -,,- aster, who . had just came on deck, triecl to;,get4he t outykitiw _ ...... _ Henry sank heforeit was launehe4.- . -- Mr. Daniel Nazer, hatter, of Dover, a passenger on board the Vivid, deposed there were two men on the bow of the vessel on the look out it being a dark night, and that Captain Watson was on the bridge when the steamer quitted the harbour. Hehad not seen the Henry before the collision, nor any lights on hoard of her. Alfred Lancy Baker, marine mail-officer in the service of the Postmaster-General, was on board the Vivid at the time of the collision. He saw no light on board the Henry. Captain Watson, who was an attentive officer, was on the bridge at the time of the accident. There was a good look-out kept on board the steamer. Mr. W. J. Greenland gave similar testimony. Robert Reynolds, boom-house (harbour) officer, said, on the 11th iust. I went on duty on the South Pierhead at 9 o'clock. Saw six or eight lights in the roads. Shortly after I came on duty observed another one put up by a vessel lying opposite the harbour, rather to the southward. It was a bright light. Last saw it at half past 11, as the Vivid was leaving the harbour, when it disappeared. The other lights were to the eastward. She was lying in the usual place, but in the fairway of the harbour. By the Coroner.—Observed what seemed to be a fire light on board the vessel ; at times it flared. I lost sight of it with the other light. The sunken wreck off the harbour lies in the direction I saw the light. Mr. Churchward informed the coroner that Captain Watson and others of the crew of the Vivid who were on deck were in attendance, and ready to give evidence. Re would add, that Captain Watson bore a high charac ter in his profession, and was considered a very able and vigilant officer. lie would also inform the coroner that several gentlemen, of high respectability, who were pas sengers on board, had made a statement in writing as to the circumstances of the collision, but at present the company were unable to call them, as they were away on the continent. The Coroner here proposed to adjourn the inquiry, in order to procure the attendance of witnesses whom, he was informed, could speak to some material facts. Mr. Churchward said the company were anxious to afford the fullest information. The Board of Marine De partment of the Trade had directed an inquiry, and per haps it would be advisable to examine Mr. Irons as to some facts which had been elicited at that investigation. The proceedings were accordingly adjourned.

They were rowing a boat, when one of the oars snapped, leaving them helpless. The boat was carried down the stream into the whirlpool and broken to pieces. Respecting the affairs of Mexico the New York Herald says : "General Wheat, a passenger by Saturday's steamer from the Isthmus, reports that the insurgents in Mexico were carrying everything before them. We have hoard as much from other sources ; but the General, who has filled a station of responsibility in the revolutionary party, bears a testimony of new and convincing weight. According to his accounts, the reports we have received of the successes of the insurgents in the north have ra ther been less than the truth than beyond it ; the whole of the northern States have fallen into their hands, and in all the country north of the mountains Santa Anna has not a single adherent. From the north they have spread to the west, and overrun Zacatecas and Guanax uato as well as Jalicco and Michoacan. The roads through these States are so completely under their con trol that the news of the capture of Monterey by the rebels of the north was brought straight through to Acapulco by a courier in the ordinary course of post. The only places which still hold out for Santa Anna ars the capital and a few towns in the eastern and southern States." AMERICA. The advices from the city of Mexico are to the sth of August. It was rumoured that the Con clude, for Vera Cruz, which left this city on the 18th of July, with $1,500,000, had been seized by the partizana of Alvarez. Forty of the Government troops were killed, and of the remainder 300 had joined the revolutionists. It was also reported that the revolutionists were within four miles of Vera Cruz, and that Guaxnauato was in their hands. Another account states that General Blanco had been in pursuit of the rebels, and had returned in triumph to the capital. It is also stated that Blanco had gone to meet Comonfort, the revolu tionist ; but a further account represents that Comonfort was routed by General Masgues near Tarnazeula. Michoacan was represented as being quiet. A band of revolutionists is said to have been attacked and routed near Morilla. Severe damage had been occasioned at Tampico by a " norther." In the city of Mexico numerous ar rests were made daily. A conspiracy had been discovered, in which some priests were concerned. The town of Saltello had been captured by Colonel Vidauri, after an engagement of two days. The Government force was 2,000 strong, with five pieces of artillery ; of the force, two-thirds were killed. The revolutionist s l os t 38—killed, wounded and prisoners. At the last accounts the victors were in pursuit of the retreating force: General Woll had reinforced Matamoras by troops from Tampico. He had demolished the suburbs. Accounts from Porto Rico, received in Havannah reported the deaths of 15,000 (?) persons. Advices from Havannah to the Bth mention that all Creoles who had become citizens of the United States had received a notice to quit the island. At New York exchange on Europe had a down ward tendency, brought about by the foreign de mand for breadstuffs and cotton, and a more libe ral supply of bills from New Orleans, Mobile, Sa vannah, and Charleston. The quotation on Lon don was 100 to 1091. 60 days' sight ; Paris, 60 512' to 5114. In the stock market there was a marked change, with a tendency to greater specu lation for deliveries at 30 to GO days. Cotton was firm at previous rates, but the transactions had been only to a moderate extent. Holders declined selling at current rates. The demand for flour was moderate, without any material change in price. Freights to Liverpool for cotton were quoted at 5.32 to 3.16 ; flour per barrel ls. (LATEST VIA HALIFAX.) BOSTON, Avo. 15.—The screw steamer Lebanon, from Liverpool, arrived at New York this morn ing at 7 o'clock. SMYRNA, August 16.—Last Sunday morning an un. usual sight was presented at the entrance gate of the large building here, which serves as police office, prison, and Paella's house. A man's head was suspended about seven feet from the ground, and it soon appeared that it was the head of Simon, the chief of the gang of brigands who lately carried off Dr. M'Craith to the mountains, burnt the French model farm, robbed the mails, and murdered unoffending country people. The constant iefluence exerted upon the Paella by Col. Storks, our military commandant (who by the way, is about to re place Lord William Paulet at Scutari), and by the French Consul—our own consul being far too old and feeble to he active, either for good cr evil—has had the good effect of keeping up a tolerably active system of rural police. The direct pursuit under Hamid Bey proved a complete failure, so that it was determined to scatter the forces, to offer rewards for the robbers either alive or dead, and to imprison all persons suspected of harbouring or sheltering them, or supplying them with food or ammunition. Accordingly rural police stations are established about the various roads and passes, some 200 picked men being employed on this duty. A reward of 1001. was offered for Simon or his head, and 201. for any of his baud. Nearly 100 people known to have had communications with the robbers were brought in from different villages. Some were imprisoned, others fines'., and about 15 sent to the Bagnio at Constantinople. Tnese measures at once made it difficult for the band to procure food and shelter, and had the good effect of con vincing the poor country people that they would be pro tected from the menaces of the robbers. Among those arrested on suspicion were seven members of former gangs, under Yanni Katergi, who after his imprison ment had retired from the profession. The information derived from them proved of great use to the police. One of Simon's band, named Kiriako, was taken with him, and from his sta;emente it appears that Simon was fully informed of all the Proceedings against him, and that he had accordingly determined to leave the country for a time with this Kiriako, and go to Greece, or some of the islands, to organise a band of at l eas t 80 mem b ers, which he calculated would be quite large enough to defy the police. The two brigands first intended to embark at Smyrna. They accordingly went to the vineyard of an accomplice, about four miles from the town, where Simon procured a Europeon dress and a donkey, and, accompanied by the son of the farmer, came into town. He first went in search of a gardener named Thodori, who has for some time past kept out of the way of the police. Not finding him, he found a brother of Thodori's and hieo wn brother, to whom he gs.ve about 1001. in money, his arms, &c. Then finding it would be unsafe to attempt to get away by sea, deter mined to rejoin Kiriako, and make towards the en trance of the hay by land, arranging with his brother to meet him at a certain rendezvous. Having returned to the vineyard he changed his European costume for his mountain dress, and the two brigands made for the mountains on the north side of the bay, armed with a small knife only. On Satur day morning they were on their way from the high lands to the coast, near a farm called Ali•Aga, when two guards hired to defend the farm saw and stopped them. They said they wereanasons going to the farm, and, of being asked for the tesktre or passport, said they had none. They were accordingly taken to the nearest station of rural police, following the two guards without resistance, where they were recognised. They were tied with cords preparatory to bringing them into THE TRANSPORT COTTINGHAIL—The following is an Smyrna.

( From the Special Correspondent of the Times. ) CAMP BEFORE SEBASTOPOL, Aug. 13.—There at last is some prospect of action, but not against the Malak hoff, nor is it the allies who are expected to assume the aggressive. Late last evening orders were given for the troops to be under arms by three in the morning. Of course, Malakhoff was immediately the word, and most persons supposed that the long talked of assault was to be made. This, however, was soon found not to be the case. An attack was expected to take place, it was be lieved, along the whole line. Without tap of drum or sound ot bugle, the camp was afoot at the prescribed hour, the troops forming up in profound silence. The entire army was out, including the cavalry and artillery froni Balaklava,. The first gray of morning found a a number of officers and amateurs assembled on Cath cart's-hill, the best point ot observation. There was un usually little firing yesterday and last night, and all ex pected that this tranquillity was to be broken by the din of an engagement. The interest of the situation grew stronger as the morning advanced and as the scarlet columns became visible, massed along the lines, motion less and expectant. Superior officers, with their staff, moved to and fro ; aides-de-camp traversed the heights with orders ; here and there, through the still imperfect light, which began to be tinged with the first red flush of sunrise, waved the pennons of a Lancer escort With broad day the brief excitement ended. Before the upper edge of the sun's disk rose above the hills the troops were marching briskly back to their tents. The -morning was beautifully clear, and the spectacle was striking. In fine order, in serried calms, looking hardy, active, and cheerful, and up to any work, the Crimean army regained its canvass quarters. For the day the danger was over —to commence again, it is believed, to night. From certain orders that have been given with respect to ammunition, mules, &c., I infer that the army will again be under arms early to-morrow morning. The officers are warned to be ready at a moment's notice. It is believed that reinforcements have reached Sebastopol. They have been expected for some time past. Four divisions are talked of, two of them Imperial Guards. Word has beet, sent up from the fleet to head-quarters that large bodies of troops were seen collecting behind the Redan, and others behind the Tdhernaya, and there were grounds for expecting a general attack along our lines. , The generals of division assembled yesterday afternoon at the quarters of the Commander-in-Chiet. General Simpson is indisposed, and it is reported that he intends going on board ship for a few days. It was thought probable that he had summoned his subordi nates to confer with them previously to absenting him self, but it may now be supposed that the meeting had reference to last night's operation. It is not imp .ssible that 'his turn out of the army was a mere rehearsal, intended to ascertain that all the actors were perfect in their parts, and in case of need would be promptly at their posts. The report . to-day , in camp was that the Archduke Michael is in Sebastopol. We lately learned from desert , rs that he was expected. To-night lam informed that our cavalry has been withdrawn from Baidar and its neighbourhood. Con cerning this you will doubtless receive positive informa thm trom another quarter. General Pelissier holds 40,000 men in readiness to operate on the line of the Tcherna‘-a, which, from its extent, is, perhaps, the most tat ickable part of our position ; but it is vigilantly ) guarded, and I entertain no doubt as to the result should the Russians venture to assail us. The Orinoco has arrived at Ba, , aklava with dragoons and horses. Mr. Doyne, Superintendent in-Chiet of the Army Working Corps, has also arrived. He came as far as Constantinople in the Simoom with 450 of his men, who will quickly follow him hither. The corps is to consist of 1,000 men. Mr. D sync has had an in terview with Col. Macmurdo, in command of the Land Transport Corps. I understand that it is not intended, as was; at first proposed, to employ the Army Working Corps under fire unless in case of absolute necessity. They will be set ,to making roads, cleaning the camp, and similar highly useful and necessary occupations. The staff or the railway, which had been greatly diminished by illness and other causes, has been broken up. Mr. Beattie has been requested by General Simpson to remain to superintend the working of the railway and all engineering matters connected with it. Two vessels have been sent front Balaklava to Gibral tar for mortar. We are informed that no less than eleven vessels sailed from England between the 20th and 30th ult. laden with guns and ammunition, and bound for the Crimea. Deputy - Assistant Commissary - General Coppinger, attached to the Fourth Division, died on Saturday of fever, and was buried yesterday afternoon. He was much liked and respected here, and a large member of officers followed him to the grave. It is now past 11 o'clock, and I find that no orders have as yet - been given for a turn-out, but merely that all.should be ready at very brief notice. Unlike last night, .whose:unwonted•stillness had something almost ominous—warned, as we were, of .a probable encounter --the fire of the batteries is pretty much as usual, and from Cathcart's-hill, a short time ago, the shells were te be seen traversing the darkness, in low curves or in lofty flight, according as they were thrown from gun or from mortar, while the round shot hurtled through the air and the rifles sparkled at various points of the lines. Ana. 14. The night has passed quietly, and there has been no occasion to turn out the troops. systematically arranged, for they often refused to sell; under the plea that they had to share with their com rades, or that the things belonged to officers—very likely an excuse for passieg safe. If you showed any curiosity about the affair, you were asked whether you wanted any household furniture, such as chairs, or mirrors, lamps, beds, &c., and told that you had only to say where the things were to be brought to, and they would take care you should have them. There was nobody at these country-houses, the Cossacks sent only an aeon sional shot from the distance, and there were two French steamers to keep the road open, which leads quite close' to the shore ; so there was lull security. I have not heard of any case where the marauders have come to harm. etract the particular attention of the Queen, and then turned round, and went along the line of cavalry. About a hundred yards before reaching the Ecole Militaire on their return, the horses which had previously been going at a walking pace • broke into a trot as the rain then began to fall. Her Majesty on alight. ing from the carriage was conducted to the balcony, and ' took her seat in front of it, her ladies of honour and the ladies of the Empress's household being on either side. The Emperorand Prince Albert, surrounded by the staff, took their station on horseback in front of the building, and the filing-off commenced. The Imperial Guard were the first that marched past, and they were followed in rapid succession by the regiments of the line, cavalry, and artillery. Not less than 40,000 men could have been on the ground, and it is impossible to speak too highly in praise of their martial bearing and soldier-like appearance. Among the many scenes which must have excited the admiration of Queen Victoria during her visit to Paris, that which was presented to her Majesty in the Champ de Mars yesterday will be one that will perhaps be the most deeply impressed on her memory. On leaving the Champ de Mars, after the reeiewe, the Queen of England, the EniPefor, Prinee *Albeit, the Prince of Wales, and the Princess Royal, visited the Hotel des Invalides, and the chapel in which the mortal remains of the Emperor Napoleon I. are deposited. Their Majesties were received in the grand court by General Count d'Ornano, the governor of the establish msent, at the head of his, staff. At half-past seven their Majesties returned to the Tuileries. The Imperial party dined at the Tuileries, as they were to go to the theatre afterwards. The visit of the Queen of England to the Opera-Coinique was not by any means of the same importance as that to the Grand Opera, being altogether of a private character, but her reception was again most enthusiastic. The outside of the theatre was handsomely lit up with lines of gas, and* the entrance by the Boulevard was tastefully ornamented with flowers. Inside the house seats festooned with flewers of great beauty, placed along the front of the &A :ratite-of boxes. , Tho Imperial box belonging to the Emperor, on the left, was without any, additional - ornament. The Queen arrived at about half-past nine, at the end of the first act of the opera of Hayd6e, and was received with "God save the Queen!" played by the .orchestra, the house cheering over and over again with the cry "Viva la Reine !" Her Majesty curtsied re peatedly, being obliged by the cheers to do so not less than four times. Her Majesty was-accompanied by the Emperor and Prince Albert, both in evening dress, black coat and white waistcoat, the Emperor wearing the Ribbon of the Garter, and the Prince the Grand Cordon of the Legion of Honour. Her Majesty was dressed in blue, bore the Ribbon of the Garter, had a wreath of flowers in her hair, and wore a necklace of pearls of immense size, with other ornaments to match. Her Majesty, when the cheering had subsided, sat down in the corner of the box, tke Emperor being in the centre, and the Prince nearest the stage. The bell then rang for the performance to proceed, and the drop scene drawing up discovered the curtain penilel for the occasion, containing two compartments—one represent. ing the entry of the Emperor into Windsor Castle, and the other that of the Queen at St. Cloud, with the date of each event. In the centre was the inFcription of " Aout 24, 1855," and above the army of England and France united. This was received with great applause. When the opera was over the whole company came on the stage and sang "God save the Queen !" which brought down tremendous cheers. The Emperor and the Prince retired a little, and her Majesty stood alone in the front of the box during the anthem, and at the close had to salute the audience four or five times whilst the cheering continued. The Emperor then led her Ma jesty away, and the party drove off amidst tremendous cheering outside. The Imperial party had come in nine carriages, but only one Lady of Honour of the Queen and one Chamberlain of the Emperor were in the Imperial box. LIEUT. PERRY, LATE OF THE 46TH. HER 3IAJESTYS VISIT TO PARIS. THE ALLIED CAMP ON THE TCHERNAYA. AUG: 14. Since I last wrote part of the reinforcements which the Russians were expecting have arrived,—at least positive intelligence has been received of the arrival of a division of Grenadiers. In consequence of this intelli gence we are more than over on the alert; but as these newly arrived troops are concentrated, at least for the present, in and about Sebastopol, if there is an attack at all it seems to be intended rather against our works in front than against the Tchernaya line. It was, never theless, thought prudent to keep a part at least of the ,rior on the Tcherna)a under arms during the last two nights, and ready fur aey sudden emergency. More over, the Sardinians made yesterday morning a recon ,naissance over the plateau on the ether side of the Tcher naya and on the banks of the Tchouliou, but without encountering any trace of the enemy. The distance, however, from Sebastopol over the Mackenzie ridge is so small that troops could come in one night from it to the Tchernaya. The English cavalry, which was encamped in the valley of Baid,r, yesterday received sudden orders to return, but the French are still there collecting hay and making excursions to the villas on the seaside towards Aloupka. The-'e beautiful summer residences of the Russian nobi lity have long been spared our visits, but they could not altogether escape their fate. The Turks, with the ex ception of Bashi-Bazouks and Arnauts, of whom there are none here, are not much given to roam about ; so while they were in the neighbourhood of Baidar the country-houses on the seaside along the Woronzoff road escaped altogether. The Turks contented themselves with exploring the immediate neighbourhood. Baidar itself and the other villages in the valley afford little in the shape of booty. Moreover, the Turks in general make it a point not to plunder their co-religionists, and the inhabitants of the valley are mostly Mahomme dans. But they found out a little country-house on the seashore called Laspi, where an old French doctor, who had been established for many years in Rus sia, was living with his family ; and one fine morn ing a complaint was made to the French General-ina Chief by his countryman that five Turkish soldiers had come to pay a visit to Lapsi. They were received and fed like gnests, but' before going away they asked for madjar (Hungarian ducats, the best known foreign money among the Turks.) The old doctor, .who of course understood nothing of their language but the woid madjar, thought it was nothing more than a polite inquiry about his nationality ; and, wishing to rectify the supposed mistake of his guests, he pointed to the French cockade which he had, by a wise precaution, fixed on his cap, in order not to be mistaken for a Rus sian, saying at the same time "Ft ancais, Francais." But when one of the/soldiers took hold of his watch and chain, and when the others began to search the ladies, he was soon aware that it was he, and not t he Turks, who had made the mistake. A blow with the butt-end of a musket left hini no doubt that resistance was use less, and the soldiers departed after having carried away, 'according to his account, objects to the value of about 2001. General Pelissier, on the complaint of the French doctor, addressed a complaint to the Turkish head-quarters, in order to have things investigated, and the guilty punished. The answer was that the Turks had the strictest orders not to plunder, and that any supposition to the contrary was an insult to their cha racter ; that the marauders could not have been Turkish soldiers ; and that the dress and flint muskets, which exist only in the Turkish army, must have been bor rowed or taken in order to make people believe that they were Turkish soldiers—and thus the affair remained. The old doctor retired to Baidar, and the ladies went over to the Russians. But this was an isolated case. Since the French and English cavalry have occupied the valley the visits to the country-houses have become' much more systematic. The Russians, having entirely withdrawn from the coast up to Yalta, having only isolated Cossack patrols about, the whole row of country-houses on the shore has been opened to enterprising individuals, and every morning you could see arabas and pack-horses coming over the Wolonzoff-road into Baidar, loaded with the most heterogeneous objects ; chairs, beds, crockery, carpets, pictures, albums, ladies' work-baskets, embroidered cushions , cookin g utensils, wine, and hun dreds of other things were brought back and sold all along the road. In order to put a stop to these excur sions an Et glish cavalry picket was stationed at the archway which is erected on the highest point of the Woronzoff road, just before it begins to descend towards the sea, and nobody was allowed to enter except with a pass. But this merded things only half—that is to say, no English soldier would indulge in a roaming disposi tion ; but French marauders as before came, duly pro vided with a pass, and returnee with as much plunder as they could possibly carry. -usual style was a string of pack-horses, mules,• or carts, with half a dozen camp followers of the worst description, and escorted by a couple of soldiers. The thing seems to hare been quite PARIS, AUGUST 26. The Emperor, accompanied by Prince Albert and the Prince of Wales, set off yesterday morning at about half-past ten to visit the Ecole de Tir at Vincennes, placed under the direction of General Repond. The Emperor and the Prince were in plain clothes. At the gate of Tourelle they were received by Generals Lahitte, Morin, Auvit, and Repond, attended by a numerous staff. A char-k-banes, containing the officers of service of the Emperor and several English officers, followed the Imperial carriage. The Imperial party proceeded straight to the Polygon, and the exercise commenced with Minie rifles at a distance of about 400 yards. The average was about six shots out of ten hitting the mark. Mortar firing followed, and was considered by the officers present to be excellent ; and then some siege pieces were tried; Which ever° likewise very successful. A Swedish piece, loading by the breech, was remark ably good. The fire cf grenades and d richochet with siege-mortars ended the exp-riments, which laeted about an boor. The Emperor, whose - intimate iiiermaintenee with this branch of the service ierNirell known, frequently expressed his approbation. Prince Albert conversed for some time with General Morin. At twelve o'clock. the Emperor led the way to the castle, which was hand somely dressed out, and visited every part of it, but with great rapidity. At about half-past twelve the Imperial party 'eft the Vincennes, and arrived at the Tuileries about one. The Emperor and the Prince were received along the whole distance most warmly by the population, particularly in the Faubourg St. Antoine, which was dressed out meet gaily, every house display ing some banner, drapery, or device. The acelamatinne were most enthusiastic. When the Emperor reached the Tuileries the Queen had already arrived there from St Cloud, and after lunch the Emperor, the Queen, Prince Albert, the Prince of Wales, and the Princess Royal, proceeded without escort to the Exhibition I Palace. On arriving there the illustrious party were received by Pi ince Napoleon • M. Fould, Minister of State ; M. Baroche, Vice-President of the C buncil of State ; Count de Morny, President of the Legislative Body ; M. Arlbe-Dufour, Secretary of the Imperial Commission, M. Le. Play, Commissary-General ; and a number of members of the Imperial Commission and of Foreign jurymen—also by Mr. Cole, Mr. Redgrave, Captain Fowke, ILE , and other gentlemen of the English Com mission. Her Mejesty and the Prince were attended by the Marquis of Breadalbane, the Marquis of Abercorn, the Hon. Col. Phipps, Sir James Clark, &c. As the Queen, who leaned on the Emperor's arm, entered, a military band played " God save the Queen !" and her Majesty graciously saluted the persons assembled. The Queen wore a barege dress of is light green colour, and a white bonnet. Although, as on the first visit, only holders of season tickets and exhibitors were admitted, the Palace was thronged • but the crowd was not so great, and the measures taken for preventing confusion were more satisfactory, though still not so complete as they might have been. The Emperor led her Majesty through the transept into the shed containing carriages, and then into that occupied by agricultural productions and imple ments. Her Majesty examined the agricultural pro ductions with some interest. Here Prince Albert and the Prince of Wales quitted their Majesties and went to visit the Annexe, containing the machinery and natural and manufactured productions. The Emperor afterwards conducted the Queen up the great staircase in the passage leading to the Panorama, and, on arriving at the top of it, drew her attention to a large and very peculiar specimen of clock- work, eye• cited bya simple workman, indicating the hours, days of the month, &c. Her Majesty then let eceded to descend the English department, passing by the photographs, the Irish prplins, &c., until she reached the East India courts. Afterwards her Majesty inspected with con siderable interest the specimens of gold and other pro ductions of the Australian colonies on the staircase, and complithented the Australian commissioner on them. Her Majesty next passed successively through the 'Egyptian, Tunisian, and Tuscan exhibitions, and then proceeded to the balustrade of the Transept, where, with the Emperor, she stopped a minute or two to ad mire the magnificent scene beneath. Next the Queen went to the cases containing the productions of the English silversmiths, and noticed particularly those of Hunt and Rosk ell, and the diamonds of Hancock. Her Majesty afterwards went right through the English de partment, and quitted It by the cases containing philo eophicae instruments. Her Majesty next entered the Bel gian exhibition, which she inspected with some care; then passed through that of Aust• ia, and then visited that of Prussia, where her Majesty stayed to admire the splendid album presented to the Prince of Prussia by the Rhenish provinces. The Queen afterwarls went through the colectione of Saxony, Wurtemberg, Beearia, and a moment to notice the handsome furni ture of the latter The Danish, Swedish, Norwegian, and Dutch collections were next hastily inspected, and the Japan collection excited her Majesty's special no tice. The Queen afterwards entered Switzerland, and turned from it to the staircase to examine M. Foncault's apparatus for demonstrating the movement of the earth. The Emperor and M. Foucault both explained to her Majesty, the latter at some length, the principle of the invention, and showed its praeticel (mention. Her Mejeety listened with the greatest interest, and caused the Princess Royal to attend to M. Fonentilt's explana tion likewise The Queen afterwards visited the Swiss, Shvpatehiesht.yaonn,, dPogratleulgruy t) es , the eexh a ile s iti ln e o n ; s and then descended and boudoir of the Empress, which her Majesty greatly admired. In the Lyons gallery the Queen noticed some silks, and ordered a purchase of them to be made. Her Majesty continu ing her progress reached the gallery containing the French jewellery, and afterwards p asse d a l ong th e a l leys in which are ezhibited the productions of St. Etienne, &e. The Queen next passed through the departments of Sardinia and the Pontifical States. Then, descending the staircase her Majesty proceeded, by the Tran sept, to the Exhibition of the Imperial printing of fice, which she examined with some interest. Re-en tering the transept her Majesty, after casting a glance on the contents of some trophies, next entered the French Court, set apart to buhl furniture, workboxes, toys, &c., the latter consisting of a curious collection of animals moved by mechanism, and making all manner of noises—baboons fiddling, goats bleating, rabbits heating drums, &c.—Deemed to amuse her Majesty much. The Queen afterwards crossed the transept to visit the United States department : her Majesty here noticel the splendid collection of maps, and of caout chonc productions. This terminated the Queen's visit. The Queen seemed highly pleased with her visit, and in the course of it chatted gaily with the Emperor. The review in the Champs de Mars was the part in the day's programme which was to follow the visit of Queen Victoria to the Exhibition. For several hours previous to the time appointed for this grand military spectacle, every road and every street leading to the scene of action was thronged with people, all hastening to the same point of attraction, a scene unparalleled in the annals of history, a French army reviewed by a Queen of England, and the Sovereigns of two countries formerly deadly foes standing side by side in the bonds of close alliance, and together passing along the ranks of men who in days gone by would have eagerly entered the lists in deadly strife against the subjects of that Queen, but who now are only anxious to fight devotedly with them in the cause of civilisation. At about three o'clock, p sa a ncl 3 the troops began to march on to the g round, and from that time nn to within half an hour of the time a pp oin ted c for the review to commence , th e roll of drumsomf h.odreemr and the clang of The trn iu m f p a e n t ty trumpets announced e n the entered a drew up in three lines on th e western side, from the Ecole-Militaire to the quay, and t he cavalr y on the op posite side. In front of the principal entrance of that building tribunes had been erected, that on the eastern side, for the accommodation of the French Ministers and their ladies and the corps diplomatic, and the one on the western for the English visitors of distinction. Both of these tribunes were filled for the most part with elegantly dressed ladies. In the centre, under the clock, was a seat placed for her Majesty. The front was hung with crimson velvet with a deep border of g o ld, and over it was hung a canopy in the same material to pro tect the occupants from the Bier. A long range of tri bunes and seats had been erected on the western side of the ground, and thesewere all densely crowded, as were the emt an'cments on either side, as indeed was everyspot from whencs a view of the grand s pectacle could be obtained. The weather in part of the day was eleudy, and during all the time that the troops were assembli , g a dark heavy cloud hung over the ground, from which might be seen occasionally slight flashes of lightning, but the rain for tunately kept off, nor during the whole time was there any sufficisat to mar the pleasure of the scene. At about twenty minutes after five, a loud cheer from the thou sands assembled near the bridge and along the edge of the Champ do Mars, nearest the river announced the approach of the Royal and Imperial party, and in a minute after, the Queen in an open barouche with the Emperor and Prince Albert entered the ground from the Pont d'lena. The carriage was followed by a brilliant staff of general and other officers, among whom were Marshals Vaillant and Magnan, and a number of other officers of rank. Several English and other foreign uni forms were to be seen, and not the least conspicuous were the distinguished Arab chiefs, who have come to Paris expressly for the oecasion. The Royal cortege first passed up the line of infantry, among whom were a body of the Zouaves of the guard, who appeared to at- The public will be gratified to learn that the money so generously subscribed towards the defence of this young officer has just been paid over to his account in Australia through Messrs. C. R. and W. M'Gregor, the army agents. Mr. Perry, in company of his father, Captain Perry, of the 87th Regiment (Irish Fusileers) who has come over from India expressly, has just been to Windsor for the purpose of settling this long-pending affair. We believe Captain Perry did not succeed in his application to obtain for hie son a commission in the Turkish Legion. Lieutenant Perry is therefore determined to proceed to Australia. The following letter from him has been re ceived by Mr. Bedborough the treasurer to the defence fund :—" My dear Sir,—The conclusion of my Windsor matters has arrived, and, although the end is neither such as you desired to effect for me, nor that the kind aid of the people of England evinced their desire to see, I have the consolation to reflect on having been borne up by the generous sympathy of my countrymen at a period of great perplexity. I cannot find words to express my sense of the goodness shown to me in my troubles, and without which I must have sunk under them ; but I hope to show by my future career in another land that the sympathy and kindness I have received will not be thrown away. My father's efforts for me in a military capacity have been, by an unfortunate combi nation of circumstances, rendered abortive, land my greatest mortification is, that his absence from his native country—if not a considerable extension of his already long military service—will be the result of my loss of position in the army. To yourself and the other kind friends who gave me aid and countenance, I shall over retain feelings of the deepest gratitude.—Believe me, my dear sir, with great respect and esteem, yours sincerely, " J. E. PERRY. " Mr. J. T. Bedborough." The total sum collected was 2,6321. 18s. 9d. ; ex pewes on account of court-martial, advertising, &c., 4721. 19s. 6d. ; cash and interest previously paid to Lieutenant Perry, 149/. 6s. ; balance 2,0101. 3s. 3d. paid to Messrs. C. IL W. M‘Gregor for transmission to Australia. LORD DUNDONALD'S PLANS. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sir,—S weaborg has been bombarded, and a formid able attack recently made on the besieging force at Se bastopol bas been gallantly repulsed : these feats, how ever, do not compensate for the sacrifice of life during two campaigns, nor for our outlay of sixty millions of money, nor fur the augmentation of public debt, nor for the derangement of peaceful enterprises—nor for the absence of military hr naval triumphs. Ara we await a third season, and the expenditure of thirty millions more, in the hope of a satisfactory result by means of additional Hating batteries, mortar vessels, and steam gun-boats, furnished with larger mortars and cannons—devices which may be opposed by the like, or other expedients ? Or is it intended patiently to await the effect of blockades on Russian finances ? Who are the true friends of Government? Those who acquiesce in the adoption of languid inadequate mea sures, or those who warn Ministers of the consequences of supinessness and error, even at the risk of their dis pleasure! How happened it that as the prayer of my petition to Parliament was for inquiry into a subject for the benefit of the public service, that no investigation was moved for, and that the house was content with the very meagre official communication, that my "plans were so simple that they did not require explanation ?" Did the omission of declaring whether they were effi cient or not fail to excite suspicion as to the fact ; or had the minds of members been prejudiced by interested mis representation, in order to avert the exposure of previous neglect in not having adopted my plans for the capture of Sebastopol. I have no right to drag private friends, far less scien tific or professional authorities, before the public, to tes tify to " schemes" of mine. One letter, however, sent to me by an eminent, liberal-minded, skilful practical engineer, with permission to use it if I thought proper, I annex, in the hope that some of the competent judges, ivare of facts, may be pleased to intimate assent to, or , dissent from, the opinion therein unqualifiedly expressed remain, Sirs, yours, dr.c. London, Aug. 25,1855. DIINDONALD, " Spring-gardens, Aug. 15, 1855. "My Lord,-- - Having received from your lordship a full explanation of your proposed plan of warfare, and having given the subject the most serious consideration, I am of opinion that, if your suggestions are vigorously carried out, under the protection of a naval or military force, a few hours would suffice to reduce a fortification which, under the usual system, would occupy a very much longer period, and that this result would be attained with a cumparatively small loss of life to the attacking party. " I have the honour to be, " Your Lordship's obedient humble servant, (Signed) "CHARLES FOX. " To Admiral the Earl of Dundonald, &c." Loss OF A YACRT AT SEA.—lntelligence has reached Southampton that the yacht Thought was lost off the coast of Boulogne during tho storm on Thursday night last. Tho master and crew perished in her. The owner, George Coope, Esq., was fortunately not on board at the time. The Thought won the prizes at the Royal Southern Yacht Club regatta about a fortnight since. THE LATE MYSTERIOUS MURDER AT BuisToL.—The police have as yet been unable to trace out the perpe trators of this terrible tragedy. A gentleman on pas sing down and examining the path discovered on one of the bushes two strings, one of linen and the other of tape, which appeared to have been torn by violence from some dress, but whether or not from that of the murdered girl has not yet been ascertained. The strings were found some fifteen or twenty yards from where the body was found. A piece of riband stained with blood has like wise been picked up on the Down, near the top of the path. The police have received reliable information of a lady who passed up the path at about half-past 7 o'clock in the evening of the murder, and who states that she saw a man, who wore light fustian trousers, in the bushes. The police have been unable to trace her out, although they entertain no doubt of her having made to third parties a statement to that effect. It is to be hoped, for the sake of justice, that she will send them her address, AUSTRALIA. LIVERPOOL, SUNDAY EVENING. The Black Ball clipper ship Ocean Chief arrived in the Mersey this morning from Sydney with 15,0000 z. of gold and 30,000 sovereigns on freight, the whole being of the value of 90,0001. She left Sydney on the 23d of June, on which day the Scotia was to sail for London. On the 6th of Juno the Boomerang was to leave Melbourne for this port, with the mails which had been despatched from Sydney. There was a further improvement in almost every description of imports, and in many instances brisk sales at the advanced rates. Confidence seemed to be gradually returning. Bills on London were quoted at 30 days' sight. Bank buying rate Ito 2 premium ; selling ditto, 3to 4 premium. The dis count on bills under three months was 6 per cent. per annum ; ditto, four months, 7 per cent. Pro visions were in good demand, and for some kinds famine prices were being readily paid. Beef was firm, the heavy stocks having been materially de creased. A great dulness prevailed in the demand for wine. Spirits were less firm. Drapery was dull, owing to stocks falling. Ironmongery had improved. Domestic servants' wages were a little lower. _ _ The screw steamer Bosphorus was to sail from Melbourno on or about the 20th of June for Point de Galle. The wages of seamen had an upward tendency, owing to their scarcity. Wages ruled at 71. per month. The supply of flour from the rural districts being almost entirely exhausted, an advance had taken place in the price of fine imported flour and wheat. Little or no change had occurred in the gold market from the Ist of January to the Ist of June ; the receipts of gold by the southern and western esccrts were 37,7100 z. At the Mint the progress of coining was progress ing rapidly, and Australian sovereigns would shortly be in circulation. This disposition of some of the Sydney banks to raise the rate of exchange on London from 3 to 4 per cent. seemed to have caused much inquiry for wool as a remittance, and improvement in prices for that staple was anticipated. 4, t 4 Pbt
