RAFTER'S NEW WM:K. The L ords of the Admiralty concluded their inspectio n of Port imouth yesterday by visiting the Victory and Illustrio us, mustering the artificers of the dockyard, holding a levee at the Naval College, and receiving a deputatioia from the corporation of Portsmouth relative to a mvLvh needed dock for commercial purposes, which the cor,poration offered to construct on their own site (in the'CamLer) if their lordships would give them their sanction_ This, however, was not conceded. In the evening the Board of Admiralty entertained the heads of the naval, military, and civil departments of the port, the may or,'conamandants of Royal Marines and Artillery, &c., at lihe George Hotel, which terminated their official duties. MATZLDOROUGH-STREET.—THE BETTING SYS TEM.—Frederick Harding, No. 62, Margaret-street, of no occupation, was brought before Mr. Bingham, charged with obtaining from Mr. John George Hamilton, 55, Rupert-street, gentleman, the sum of 41., by false and fraudulent pretences. Now reads, at all tho libraries, in 3 vols., ER CY BL AK E; or, The Young Rifleman. By CAPT. RAFTER. Ilurst and Blackett, Publishers, successors to Henry Colburn, 13, Great ➢larlborough-street. The complainant said—On the 18th inst. I was desi rous of backing the horse Indian Warrior, and a man, who, I believe, is a sort of betting touter, offered to take me to a person who kept a betting-book, and who would make a het on the race in question. I went to the King's Head public-house with the man, and, in the parlour, the prisoner was pointed out as a person named Smith, who had a betting-book there. The person said his name was Smith, that he had lived for three months in the house, and had kept a betting-book thige for that period. I proiosed to him to take the odds—nine sove reigns to three sovereigns en Indian Warrior. The pri soner agreed to accept this bet, and I put down three sovereigns. The prisoner handed me a card with the odds altered from 3 to 1 to 3to 2. Having got my 3 sovereigns, the prisoner then, as a temptation to induce me to bet more money, said he would make another bet of 2 to 1. I put down another sovereign to make the second bet, and this made four sovereigns. Th:re was a gentleman present who saw me pay the money, and who made a small bet himself. I left the house with the man who led me to it, and, after walking a few yards, I thought it advisable to ask the man what he knew about the prisoner. The man said he knew the prisoner, and added, " Do you think I would let him take in a gentleman like your self l" As I thought it very likely that it was a gen tleman like myself who was to be taken in, I thought it advisable to go back to the public-house to make some inquiries. When I got back to the King's Head I found that the prisoner and the man who had introduced me had left the house together, and this at once aroused my suspicions. I asked the landlady of the house if she knew Smith, and if he kept a betting-book there. She said she did not know any one of the name of Smith. I said, " Why, I thought all these tissues, which were hung round the bar, belonged to Mr. Smith." Mr. Bingham—l am so ignorant of these matters that I have not the least notion what tissues mean.

She left Constantinople Sept. 2 ; Malta, 10 ; and Gibraltar, 15 ; with Lieut. Sidebottom, in military charge of four men of the Royal Artillery, nine women, and ten children. The Sovereign ■team-transport was ashore in the Dardanelles on the 2d. Capt. Dunn stayed by her some time, and attempted to tow her off, but found he was unable to do so, and was compelled to leave her where she was. The Volunteer screw-trans port left Gibraltar one day, and the City of Aberdeen two days, before the Lady Eglinton, both bound for England. The Volunteer brought home Messrs. James Kelt and Alexander Brebner, engineers ; John Camp bell and William Watson, stokers ; and Stewart Ander son, carpenter. Complainant—They are silver paper, with the names of the w:nning horses and the odds, and are important to betting-men. The landlady said the tissues were only hung up for her husband's amusement—that she did not know Smith, and that no such person kept a betting book there. I said—" Now lam convinced the affair is a swindle. I declare the bet off, though it is pretty certain the horse I have backed will win." The landlord tried to hunt out the prisoner, but failed to do so. Mr. Bingham—The false pretence then is, that the prisoner had said his name was Smith, that he had lives in the house three months, and had kept a betting-book there all that time. Complainant—Yes. The prisoner admits the fact, but disputed his identity at first. Mr. Bingham to prisoner—l'll hear what you have to say. _ _ The jEolus, shell magazine-ship, Master-Commander M. L. Browne, returned to Spithead from the Baltic yesterday. The Emma Eugenia, freight-ship, arrived at Spithead yesterday from Halifax, with recruits for the British German Legion. The names of the officers are Captains Cartensen, Tiemacki, and Corpini ; Lieutenants Pildiski, and Sherman ; and Ensians Samsay, Terargiver, and Ritter ; Assistant-Surgeog Biel, and 184 rank and file.

Her Majesty's ship Calcutta, 84, Capt. J. J. Stopford, arrived off Portsmouth last night, after a week's pas sage from Sheerness. The steam vessel Alecto, 5, Commander R. Phillips, - i'risoner—l have nothing to say, except that I am not the person. I was summoned on the jury at the Old Bailey at the time. I keep a house, and pay 1301. a-year rent and taxes. I want to ask the complainant who brought him to the public-house ? Complainant—l do not know the man, unless he was a "plant " of your ewn on me. Mr. Bingham—l understand the prisoner to say, in his defence, that he is not the man who obtained the money as the betting-man Smith. Why should you want to know who brought the complainant to the house if your story is true ? Your best course is to put no questions. Complainant—The prisoner has offered to pay the money. Mr: Bingham—Then you had better take it. The four sovereigns were then given to the complain ant, and Mr. Bingham discharged the prisoner. WORSHIP- STREET. —Ax UNNATURAL SON.— John Pullcrgatc, a young fellow of dissipated appear ance and bad character, was charged before Mr. Ham mill with assaulting his mother, an elderly woman of weak intellect, who has some small independent means .of support. Mrs. Eliza Castrow said the prisoner lived with his mother at her house in Ada-place, Hackney, but was in the habit of ill-using her, and bad been so to the knowledge of the witness for 16 weeks. On Thursday afternoon witness heard him using the most vile lan guage to his mother, threatening to " beat her skull in" unless she gave him 125.: after which he fol lowed her down stairs And struck her, and the mother then went out for a policeman and gave him into cus tody. The witness added that the prisoner's mother was not quite right in her mind, occasioned, as she be lieved, by the prisoner's ill treatment of her. Win.

A number of officers from Cork gar rison are summoned to attend the court-martial. SOUTHWARK.—THE MURDER OF A FEMALE.— George liemblc, a shoemaker, residing at 17, Pepper street, Southwark, was placed in the dock for further examination, charged with having caused the death of Mary Ann Latimer, a female with whom ho cohabited, by knocking her down in a brutal manner. It appeared from the evidence of Helen Gorman, a married female, residing at No. 23, Pepper-street, that, about a quarter-past five o'clock on the morning of Tues day last, she went out in the road to fetch some water. She there saw the prisoner and deceased quarrelling about a dozen doors off, when she went to the latter and asked her what was the matter, when she replied that she was not going to let her old man beat her, and she pulled off her bonnet and asked her to hold it for her. She had marks of violence about her and was bleeding, when witness told her to go in-doors. She re fused to do so, and made use of some words unfit for use, when the prisoner came to her in the road and de liberately knocked her down with brutal force. Ile struck her on the breast, and she fell backwards against an iron post in the street, and never spoke afterwards. The prisoner then became irightened and assisted witness' to lift her up, but she was quite dead. Witness went and fetched a doctor, but it was no use. The prisoner appeared sober, but deceased had been drinking and quarrelling with him all night. Richard Barnett said he was passing the end of Nor folk-street and heard them quarrelling. The prisoner was endeavouring to persuade the deceased to go in, but she refused, and was very violent towards him, several times attempting to strike him. She also threw mud and and oyster-shells at him, which so exasperated him that he knocked her down, and she fell against an iron post and was killed. He called police-constable Arthur Griffin, 91 M, to the spot, and the prisoner was appre hended. Mr. Combo asked whether an inquest had been 'odd since the last examination. Sergeant Wise, 11 M, replied that Mr. Carter em pannelled a jury on Wednesday ; and, after some of the witnesses were examined, the inquest was adjourned un til Tuesday next, for medical testimony. Mr. t ombe said that if such was the ease be should further remand the prisoner until Thursday next, when the depositions will be completed, and he can then be sent for trial.

They inform us that General Mouravieff, who arrived b e f ore Kars on the 15th inst. from his expedi tion t o H assan K a l e h, w as furious about this wre t c h e d he w l e 6t h received init., a manceuvre of the artillery under General Breema. who ordered it. The Russian cavalry surrounds and observes Kars very strictly, according to the letters we have re ceived. It appears that different couriers sent by us, and one due here last week from Kars, have been caught by the Russians. All this leads us to fear that our correspondence will become less frequent and more difficult. They send us word that provisions are abundant, but that barley and hay run very short, on account of of which the horses receive only half-rations of either. Other particulars brought here from Kars state that scarcity of everything prevails there, and that if rein forcements with provisions do not arrive within twenty days they will be compelled to surrender. Ido not know which statement we ought to believe, since it is probable, our friends there tell us, they have an abundance of food, being fearful lest their letters should fall into the hands of the Russians. These, too, on reading such a statement, might possibly be induced to raise the siege. Or it may be, that the contrary particulars may have been sent by pessimists—that is to say, by persons who see everything in gloomy colours, and by exaggeration convert truth into falsehood. It is, however, quite po sitive that meal is sold to the public in Kars at the rate of 30 piasters the batman (18 lbs.), whereas in ordinary times the market price is from 3to 31 piastres. There can be no doubt that they are suffering more or less at Kars, and we are convinced that if the command were exclusively held by Turks, the place would either have been surprised by the Russians, or it would have sue r ndered. General Williams and his staff are far from' anticipating either eventuality. The example they set of zeal and activity, both of which increase with the danger, contributes powerfully to rouse the courage of the Turkish generals and the army. To the self-denial of the English general we can only add our prayers for its sivcess. Letters from Kars inform us that a young Russian lieatenant, son of the Minister of War, was killed in the action of the 7tb. Whenever General Mouravieff bas a convoy to send to or receive from Alexandropol, or whenever he has to send out foraging parties, he puts his whole army in movement, it seems for keeping the garrison of Kars in a state of alarm, and for disconcert ing its operations. The sanitary state of the garrison is satisfactory. Last Friday the intelligence was brought hero that a Russian army corps, having left Uch Klissie, was march ing on Melasghirt and Bu'ani*, two districts half way between this place and Van. Both of these places con tain rich granaries, so that the enemy will obtain not merely supplies for his own men, but will destroy all that he cannot transport to Erivan. There is also a rumour that the Russians have cap tured in Melasghirt two sons of Resvan Aga, the Kur dish chief of the district, and that they keep them as hostages. Perhaps they hope by this means to gain over the father to their cause, as they did with the Kurdish chieftains of Bayazid. Last Saturday a courier extraordinary arrived here by land from Constantinople with despatches fur Hafiz Pacha from the Porte. It is said the ministers of the capital thank the Pacha for the zeal he displayed in com ing to the aid of this province with his Bashi bazouks, and that he must now hasten his return to Trebizonde, where his presence is more necessary than ever, leaving behind him ten thousand men selected from his troops, fixing the pay they are to receive, and putting them under the orders of the military authorities here. It is considered here that this order sent to Hafiz Pacha is a disgrace. ,e had written to persons in Constantinople that he was coining here with thirty thousand men, whereas all the men that followed him were only eight, and certainly not ten, thousand strong. Numbers of these have since deserted, and I think there are now not five thousand men left to take the field. This remnant still suffers severely from the prevailing epidemic, from gastric and bowel complaints of a choleraic nature. The recall of the Pacha is also known to them, and the result is that they are all preparing to disperse and return to their several homes, let the worst come to the worst. Yes terday many of the companies still entire, with their standards in front, marched to the mountains that are - nearest to their barracks. The arrival of these hordes at this place has, perhaps, . . been of some service by d e te rr i n g th e R uss i ans , when approaching Hassan Kali, from advancing against this city, hearing as they di,l what a large force we had of Turkish fighting nice to oppose them. But it turns out that not one of these Bashi-bazooka was willing to fight, the motive for their coming here being, not fighting, but plunder and licence. When the inhabitants of this city saw those bands of savages disappear they began to breathe freely, and tranquillity in some sort is now re-established. As long as they remained here the regulars kept in the back ground, and the citizens began to wish the Russians would come and be their deliverers. Our civil and military authorities still remain in the camp of Dev 6 Boyun. The consequence of this arrange ment is that we in the city are without any governors. Fortunately we have not had many disturbances, and this comparatively peaceful state of things is entirely owing to the good feeling of the inhabitants themselves. Diarrlice3 has been very prevalent in the city and neighbourhood, but the deaths are few in number ; the temperature is still very high, which, together with anxiety, has, I think, contributed to the permanency of the disease. Among the regular troops, and in their military hospitals, there is no cause for complaint in a sanitary point of view. Another letter says : - -Gene nto r ot a ol efe l i ms ,K( „pa n ftna r ecrt u d, he: m ieo imefTrilKeacrb,t:alihvra Kars, ea. . 1 8 t yT h tThhaw :l ed 8 yao. battalions of infantry, 3 regiments of cavalry, 1,000 irre hroiiaernns a d la g , s n r 2 a; gran d h u p r e n e a C c, :oe paces g ovfa u rl generalirre gular edci attackr a t v oh a l lw r t y tite , were allowed to advance quietly for a certain distance when the Turkish batteries w ere unmas k ed, and the , whole of the guns poured a ter r ibl e fi re on them. The mortars threw shells ; the en em y, w h o four cannon shots, then retreated in thecouglrdeaotensl order, with a loss of 200 or 300 men and several officers. Tile Russian Dragoons did not ex hib it their usual firm ness and solidity, and were seen to fly in the most un yt d fireis soldierlike manner. From that day to this the Russians have not disturbed our repose. Another letter from the same place of the 27th says : We are invested almost exclusively by about 7,000 or 8,000 Russian cavalry ; the infantry is still in camp near Coinnissoun and Zahn. Generals Vassif-Pselia and Williams have issued an order of the day, couched in concise and very char terms, announcing that every spy will be hung and every deserter shot. The shooting is meant for the Bashi-basoults, who have shown seine in clinat ion to pass over to the enemy. As to the spies, the measure was absolutely necessary, for the slightest movement on our part was at once made known to the Russians. On the 21st a spy was taken, tried, and con demned by court-martial, and hung the next day. On the 22d, four others were taken and served in the same manner, and had we to hang all the Persians and Geor gians who are here, and who are suspected by us, we should do so without compassion. If on one side we brkve to mistrust certain people, on us. other we are great ly encouraged by the admirable conduct of our chiefs, Vassif P as h a , General Williams, Colonel Lake, an d other officers. They disilay zea', activity, and energy beyond all praise, and if they sec-iced in saving Kars there can be no reward too great for them. We bare news for some days past of the reinforcements that are to join us from Constantinople and from the Crimea. We are greatly pleased at it, but it must not be lost si.ght of that these reinforcements must come furnished with supplies. Kars does not want an increase of garris son, and if reinforcements are necessary it is not to de fend us, but to assume the offensive, and enable us to attack the enemy in our turn. ~~ Post Bvo., cloth, price Gs., THE WAR in the EAST, from the Year 1853 till July, 1855 : an Historico-Critical Sketch of the Carnpaigrs on the Danube, in Asia, and in the Crimea, with a glance at the probable contingencies of the next Campaign.

The essential object of this treatise is to point out the fearful con sequences resulting from certain habits, irregularities, and excesses, which have produced more misery in Youth, degradation in Man hood, and premature decay at all stages of Life, than, perhaps, any Ether class of disease known to modern pathologists. Its perusal is particularly recommended to persons entertaining secret doubts of their physical condition, and who are conscious of having hazarded the health, happiness, and privileges to which every human being is entitled; It is absolutely necessary that all men should know, that there are principles of personal management which cannot be violated without incurring grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret succeed the heyday of inconsiderate self-indulgence, how these penalties may be mitigated, hew the sting of their bitterness may be removed, end how the evil and it , consequences may be avoided, and above all, that there is scarcely any degree of physical infirmity or functional derangement to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure. The Author has for a series of years been engaged in an extensive practice in the treatment of these delicate complaints, which have unfortunately been too generally confided to the care of ignorant empties, who inflict great injury on those who are induced to place faith in their pretensions.

Maresfield-park, Sept. 20, 1855. consequence of communications which have been made to me by, some of my constituents, in relation to a proposed road from Pall-mall to the Birdcage-walk, I have felt it my duty, as Parliament is not sitting, to write to the Chief Commissioner of Public Works, for the purpose of ascertaining what the views of her Ma jesty's Government are • and as the subject is one of great interest both to those who are opposed to the road, as well as to these who are in favour of it, I forward you a copy of the letters which have passed between Sir Benjamin Hall and myself.—l have the honour to be, sir, your obedient servant, JOHN VILLIERS SHELLEY. Maresfield-park, Sept. 16, 1855. My dear find amongst some 'of my con stituents considerable alarm at the intended new road across St. James's-park. In the absence of Parliament the only course I can adopt for the purpose of acquiring information as to the intentions of the Government is to write to one of its members ; and as the proposed al teration is one especially affecting Westminster, I am anxious that an opportunity should be afforded to a deputation to state to you the objections made to the scheme and to hear fromyou the grounds upon which you believe the proposed new road would be beneficial to the metropolis at large. Be so good as to tell me when it would be convenient to you to receive a deputa tion of my constituents, who will be ready to attend upon you at any time.—Believe me, my dear Hall, yours very truly, JOHN VILLIERS SHELLEY. The Right Hon. Sir Benj. Hall, Bart., M.P. Llanover, September 18, 1855. My dear Shelley,—l hasten to reply to your letter of the 16th, in which you request information as to the intended new road across St. James's-park, in conse quence of an apprehension which has been excited in the minds of some of your constituents lest it should interfere with the interests of the inhabitants of West minster, and in which you also express your desire that an opportunity should be afforded to a deputation to hear from myself the grounds upon which it is believed the proposed new road will be beneficial to the metro polis at large. I shall be happy to receive any deputation for the purpose named on Saturday, the 6th of October, at the Office of Works, at two o'clock ; and, meantime, I will give you a brief outline of the facts of the case. For some time great inconvenience has been occasioned to persons in carriages (not having the entree of St. James's-park) being obliged to go by way of Piccadilly and Grosvenor-place, from Pall-mall to Pimlico. In the year 1851 the permission to go through St. James's-park was extended ; but since that time re presentations have been made that if a right of way was granted through the Stable-yard it would be a great advantage, The danger of the sharp taping and the MILITIA.

Tho following letter on the state of affairs at New Granada after the revolution will be read with interest : " BOGOTA, 12th July, 1855.—1 have the honour of informing you that the Republic continues to enjoy the most perfect peace, without any cause for perturbation in any part of its vast territory. The judicial proceed ings against ex-President Ova,ndo are continuing th e i r course - through the second heating at the Supreme Court, conformably to law, after the sentence pronounced at the first hearing and inserted in the official gazette of 30th June, and by which he, being declared guilty of high treason, was condemned to banishment from the republic for 12 years, with legal fines and penalties, and the loss of his civil and political rights during the period of . his The greater number of individuals brought to justice for complicity in the rebellion of April, 1854, and who have not been accas e d o f cap it a l cr i mes , h ave accepted the legislative indult o f 29th M a y, on con diti on of quitting the country or certain provinces, as the Government has not caused, and will not cause, blood to be shed, in expiation of the late attempt at rebellion. "The industry and commerce of the country are now in a flourishing con diti on , recover i ng qu i c kly f r om the injuries inflicted on them, materially and morally, by the rebellion ; and all branches of the public service are being reorganised. The Treasury, which was burthened anew from the above causes, has been legislatively as sisted by various fiscal measures—amongst them an aug mentation of 23 per cent. on the import duties, and a moderate duty on the exportation of tobacco and bark, abolishing at the same time certain municipal imposts on exports ; but with the great economy which is decreed especially in the standing army, and with the regularity in the receipt and distribution of revenue, a very short time will enable us to establish an equilibrium between our revenue and obligations. A patent has been granted for a national bank of commission, discount, and deposit, conformably to law of 13th June, and important opera tions aro about to be made with the waste lands. The privilege granted for the enterprise of a tramway from the valley of the Cauca to the port of Buenaventura on the Pacific holds out the prospect of great advantages for New Granada. Our relations with foreign powers continue in the best harmony. The annual general elections for senators, representa tives, magistrates, and deputies of provinces are about I to commence, and will be of great interest for all poli • tical parties. The liberty o f election is completely un fettered, the law thereon well amended, and it is there • fore to be hoped that the order party will triumph. FATAL ACCIDENT IN SHOOTING. Much excitement was manifested last night in Black friars-road, on the announcement, by telegraph, that Mr. Shepherd of the Oxford Arms, Westminster-road, and brother of Mr. Richard Shepherd, joint lessee of the Royal Surrey Theatre, had been shot accidentally by Mr. Creswick, the other lessee of the theatre, which soon received confirmation by placards r orAca up at the entrances of the theatre, and of which the following is a Qopy _ _ • . "Royal Surrey Theatre, Sept. 21. "In consequence of a sudden domestic calamity in the family of Mr. Shepherd, the theatre will be closed until Monday, Sept. 24." It appeared from inquiries made, that Mr. Creswick, Mr. Richard Shepherd, the lessee, Mr ohn Shep herd, his brother, were in the neighbourhood of Reigat e, in a field, enjoying the diversion of shooting ; and while passing down the field Mr. Creswick and Mr. Richard Shepherd were on one side the hedge, and the deceased, Mr. John Shepherd, on the other. Mr. Creswick was carrying a double-barrelled gun, which was loaded, and, as a matter of precaution, he stopped for a short time to put down the hammers upon the nipples. He had placed the gun across his knee for that purpose, and had lowered one of the hammers, but before he could lower the other, the barrel went off, and Mr. John Shepherd, who unfortunately at the moment was passing a gap in the hedge, received the whole of the contents in the side of the neck, when be fell, never uttered a cry or groan, and instantly expired. As soon as the fatal truth was revealed, nothing could exceed the grief of Mr. Creswick and that of the brother of the unfortunate man, and as soon as they could reach Reigate medical assistance was obtained, but the fatal work had been accomplished beyond all aid. The news was imme diately telegraphed to London, to the friends of the de ceased, whereupon the theatre was ordered immediately to be closed. The body, of course, cannot be removed until a coroner's inquiry has taken place into the trans action.

This route would cut up the Green-park to some extent, merely for the purpose of additional accommodation to those who reside in Belgravia, and that part of the town west of the Birdcage walk. It was considered if any new road was to be made, it should be so laid out as to afford the greatest accommodation to the public at large, and not to be constructed merely for the benefit of one comparatively small portion of the inhabitants of the metropolis. As Chief Commissioner of Works, I was therefore re quested by the Secretary of State to prepare a plan for a line of road direct from Pall-Mall to the Birdcage walk, by throwing a bridge over the water near the spot upon which a bridge formerly stood, and terminat ing the road at such a point in Birdcage-walk as would give a direct road to that densely crowded part of West minster which has now only a most circuitous route to the park and the northern part of Pall-mall, it being con sidered that such a road, independent of the vast accom modation thus offered to the great mass of the commu nity, would at the same time give easy access to Pimlico and Belgravia on the west, and a shorter road to the Houses of Parliament and Bridge-street on the east, and the whole of the borough of Lambeth, and relieve the immense traffic which, during the London season, is much too great for Charing-cross. This line, if made, will be open to carriages and cabs day and night, and those who remember the wooden bridge which once crossed the water in the enclosure of St. James's-park will re collect the great number of pedestrians who passed over it, and profited by the convenience of such a direct con nection between the north and the south of the park. It has been stated in the public papers that the Go vernment intended to avail themselves of the period when Parliament was not sitting, to commence the road and ereet the bridge ; and it bas, within the last few days, been positively asserted in one of the London journals that the works have been already begun ! There is not one word of truth in these statements ; such proceedings were never contemplated. Nothing will be done till Parliament meets ; the public will then have an opportunity for considering the plans which t o will be presented to the House of Commons, a n d it wi ll be accommodationsee p n la w n h s e d th o er no t t he obviate, h wolly or sufficiently, those objections they offer to the s e public is the best which should be gr an t e d, an d w h e th er these objections which have been raised against the project. The object contemplated by the Government is to make such a line as would be most beneficial to the pub lic in general ; but not to construct a road for the con venience of one particular locality. Instructions were given to me with the above view, and I repeat that it was never intended to proceed with any works in relation to this object till Parliament should have had ample opportunity to consider it in all its relations.—l remain, my dear Shelley, yours sin cerely, B.
