1 ~ .. q k 1 .0 ) !T I) , 'P .P 4 „ LONDON, TUESDAY, AUGUST 28, 1855. We axe now on the eve of September. The summer is rapidly passing away, and great anxiety t, is naturally felt as to the result of the operations in the Crimea and the Baltic. The letter from the Emperor NAPOLEON to General PELISSIER, which appeared in, The ! San of yesterday, is of a very satisfactory character, and goes far to prove that sooner or later complete success will attend the Allied arms in the East, and that there will be no withdrawal from, or inactivity in, the Crimea, until the "standing menace " to COnstantinople and to Europe is completely demolished. The EMPEROR requests his general to inform the "brave soldiers who for more than a year have supported unheard-of fatigue, that the end of their trials is not far distant." Adding emphatically, "Sebastopol, I hope, will soon fall under their blows ; and. should that event be postponed, I , know from sources, which I believe to be sure, that the Russian army cannot maintain the struggle in the Crimea ditring the winter ! " ,We have, therefore, - • unexceptionable evidence ), to show that implicit reliance may be pladed• i the eventual. triumph of our arms, and that, should the defendera of Sebastopol be enabled to repel the, vigorous onslaughts to which they will be subjected, they must inevitably yield to the irresistible attacks of famine. The EMPEROR, indicates a more brilliant as well as a more speedy termination to their labours. He hopes that, "Sebastopol will soon fall under their blows;" and he gives expression to this feeling with the ; full 'knowledge of the contem plated measures for the CoMpletti reduction of " the contemptuous City.". That some energetic effort will shortly be made seems certain. The carrying of the,anibuscade on the glacis of the Malakhoff. on Friday last, a telegraphic account whereof appearo in our impression of yesterday, may have been but " the beginning of -the end." That it was regarded as' a matter of vast impor tance by the besieged may easily be judged from the desperate attempt' to retake it, in which they lost no less than 300 men ; and the simple fact that the French haie. established a definitive footing on-the glacis, and that the work has been turned against "" the key' of their position," must exercise no inconsiderable influence on the result. But the greatest certainty must depend on the failure of the *siipplio:' tithed°, Sebastopol has been exempted from the ordinary fate of a be leaguered fortresS. ;It has, during the entire period of the siege, .maintained undisturbed communications. with the surrounding 'country and the RUsslan army in the field, and received all the stores 'that could be spared by them. Until the:deithiction of the granaries at Kerteh and in the. Sea of AZOif there . was no lack of pro visions—no less than '4,500 waggons per diem were despatched from, these: districts,. for the use • • of the artny.in: the fiehland- Of:the.garrison-,-and , • the blocking - up: of tha.t ''source 'must gave occa sioned coU;iderable Scarcity' in - both quarters. In-. deed the .tlesperate and reckless attack on the position of the . ,l'aliernaya May be mainly attri buted to the. deficiency of the Commissariat, and the necessilY. Of creating some diversion in favour of the unde,r --fed troops and garrison. • • The operations ,in.• the Sea of Azoff rendered the deatrUlion ; • Sebastopol _inevitable. , • ; The struggle may:beprotracted, but 'the result is cer .• , • tam; unleakthe Russians. can procure fresh sup plies, and render theila available, not only for the besieged, but for the relieving' acct auxiliary army... We have long felt that, .with proper care on the P4l l e Allies, this-will be impossi ble, and the ',letter of the - EAP.sitOn affords the strongest confirmation, of the view we have taken. But now that the important conseluences of dinner took place in ever.ing the Tradesm en 's annual di MANOR HOUSE TAVEEN WALWORT ll.—Oti Thursday the expedition to ISertch and the Sea of ,Azoff the banquet-room on which occasion a highly respect have been clearly ascertained,, w h y, - we as k , have able party sat down to a first•rate entertain went , served a not similar.ciperations'beeliatteinpted against the in good style., Willi am W i ll i ams, Esq., pr es ide d c u l i lirman.

P A fitting termination this to centuries of mis understanding and rivalry, a splendid finale to the; inauguration of a union that we trust will last for centuries to come. A union brought about, not by dynastic, but by national and Euro peaii necessities, and founded 'on the most endur ing i basis a due appreciation of each other's worth, and of the high part they are unitedly called upon to play in the civilisation of the world. A union to the permanency of which we are happy to say the womanly virtues and graceful deMeanour of our Queen, as to 'its inauguration and institution, the sagacity and magnanimity of NAioLEorr, have largely contributed. A 'union the despots of the Cuntinent already tremble at and cannot break, and to which the down-trodden people look as to the star of their deliverance. A union not of courtly protestations and hollow ceremonies, cloaking festering antipathies, but a union of policy and inclination, characterised by a frank reciprocation of thought and feeling, accom panied by loyal action on the part of both monarchs and people. A union inaugurated in London and in Paris, in the Black Sea, the Cri mea, and the Baltic, and consecrated by the blood and devotion of heroes and patriots. A union, in a word, as perfect as the rivalry and bitterness betNVeen the parties was previously intense, and likely_to be not less .productive of good than that which it supersedes was of evil. That it may be so i 4 our ardent desire ; that it will is our confi dent belief. ARRIVAL OF TROOPS FROM ALDERSHOTT. This morning, shortly, after ten, o'clock, the neighbour hood' of the, Su,tith-Western Railway in the Waterloc road • was the scene of great excitement, in consequence of the arrival of the detachment df Coldstream Guards late') quartered at the camp. A great number of per sons accompanied the soldiers on their march to the St. George's Barracks, as it was supposed by the Majority of the crowd that they were to depart immediately for the Crimea. At half-past one the same excitement was occasioned by the arrival of the Scots Fusiliers from the same place. The quarters vacated ,by the Coldstreams and Scots Fusiliers, will be occupied by two battalions of Grenadier Guards, who left London at about twenty minutes to two. THE GREAT WIZARD OF THE NORTH. The public•will be delighted to learn that Professor Anderson, the unrivalled magician, who has performed before the most of . the crowned - heads in Europe, has taken the Lyceum Theatre for a limited number of nights, previous to his retiring from public life. The Professor has added to his store of magical illusions an immense number of new tricks of the most wondrous nature, and we have not the slightest doubt but the evening levees of "'his. Majesty" will be attended, as they have hitherto been, by crowded and delighted audiences. ; HEALTH OF THE EMPRESS EUGENIE, The public will, no doubt, have reiniiiiAd that the Empress Eugenie hag taken butlittle 'part in the public festivities celebrated last week in Paris. For this care of her Majesty's health there is every reason to believe that there is a most satisfactory cause.; and, indeed, it is' known that Queen Victoria was most anxious and pressing in her kind advices to the Empress to observe every precaution on which so important, a future may depend. We expect confidently that, at no distant date, the official Moniteur, according to the etiquette of France, will announce to the nation the pregnancy of the Empress.

BAROMETER, 29'92. WIND, W.S.W.—Light, with cloudy, warm weather. attempt to wage " a rose-water war," would be completely and decisively abandoned. Fas est ab poste deceri, and on this point we receive a valu able lesson from Muscovite tactics. In the Baltic, we regret to say that our pros• pects are by no means so propitious. The fa• vourable season was suffered to pass away in almost complete inactivity, and we now know that the boasted destruction of Sweaborg was very far indeed from what was first believed. Admiral DuNDAs himself admits that the sea defences are but little injured. The fortifications still protect Helsingfors, which has not been interfered with, notwithstanding its courtingattack by firing on our boats. The destruction of the stores and arsenals was of course valuable, but it was not alone a sufficient performance for the most powerful naval arma ment ever placed under the command of a Bri tish officer. Admiral DIMAS may rest assured that the people will not be contented unless some heavier blow be inflicted on the enemy. He may be crippled by secret instructions. With Sir CHARLES WOOD at the head of the department, that is, to say the least of it, very probable. But the censure will fall chiefly on him, for the people will not and cannot believe that a Commander-in-Chief has not sufficient power to strike a heavy blow against the enemy, or if that power be withheld, that it is not his duty to resign rather than to remain a puppet, whose strings are pulled in Whitehall, and who lends his name and character to the improper ob ject of deceiving the country. If something be not done against Cronstadt,• we shall not greatly envy the future fame of Admiral the Honourable RICHARD SAUNDERS DUNDAS. Nobly have the French people and their chosen EMPEROR repaid the grattrikiptilar ovation and the hearty regal and civic hospitalities that sig nalised the visit of the latter to the shores of Britain. That her Majesty the - QuEEs would meet with a magnificent and cordial reception no one doubted who knew anything of Frenchmen and their en lightened Ruler. The history of France is the history of a chivalrous people, and the character of centuries is not lost in a day. But even,we, who by no means anticipated least, have been agreeably surprised, not so much by the splendour of the display as by the depth and extent of the cordiality with which our QUEEN was welcomed. On the Boulevards, in the Champs Elysee, at the Tuileries, at the Opera, her reception lacked nothing that could possibly be desired. It was enthusiastic and universal beyond pre cedent, at once worthy of the people and the occasion, and full of hopeful augury for the destinies of Europe. The grandeur and warmth even of the Imperial hospitalities, signal as they were, paled before it. France, no less frankly and unreservedly than her magnanimous ruler, held out the right hand of amity to the Island Queen. COURT CIRCULAR. PALACE OF ST. CLOUD, AUG. 26. Her Majesty and his Royal Highness Prince Albert, the Prince of Wales, and the Princess Royal, accom panied the Emperor and Empress of the French to a grand ball at Versailles yesterday evening. Divine service was performed this morning in the Palace, before the Queen and Prince, the Prince of Wales, and the Princess Royal, by the Rev. Dr. Hale, Chaplain to the Embassy. The Ladies and Gentlemen in attendance were also present. Sir J. Emerson Tennent left town yesterday for the continent. Despatches were received at the Colonial-office yes terday from the Governors of the North American Pro vinces. THE COURT.—Her Majesty and his Royal Highness Prince Albert, with the royal family, will remain at the Isle of Wight until the sth proximo, when they will come to Buckingham Palace. On the following morn ing, at eight o'clock, the Queen and the Prince Consort with the royal children and household suite, will take their departure for Balmoral, travelling by special train on the Great Northern line from Siug's-cross. The Court will sleep at Edinburgh one night, and on the following morning proceed by rail to Banchory, where the royal carriages will be in readiness to convey them to Balmoral. The return of the Court to Windsor will be between the 9th and 12th of October next. His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge arrived at St. James's Palace yesterday, from visiting Lady Marian Alford. The Duchess of Argyll and infant daughter are pro gressing very favourably. The Marquis of Anglesey and family are passing the season at Worthing. The Earl of Westmoreland has gone on a tour of visits in the north, after visiting Apthorpe House, his seat in Northamptonshire. The Earl and Countess of Lucan have been plunged into the deepest grief by the premature demise of Lady Anne Bingham, their youngest daughter. The melan choly event took place on Sunday last, at Laleham, near Staines. The youthful deceased was only in the fifteenth year of her age. The Earl and Countess of Bective have arrived at the Lodge, Virginia, Ireland, from the Isle of Wight. Viscount and. Viscountess Folkestone have sustained a domestic bereavement by the death of their infant son, which took place on Friday. Lord Blantyre is still at Carlsbad, and is not ex pected home until the week after next. Sir J. Emerson Tennent left town yesterday for the continent. Major Stopford Claremont, Assistant-Commissioner at the French bead-quarters in the army of the Crimea, arrived yesterday at the Foreign-office, with despatches. The recruiting for the Anglo-Italian Legion is pro ceeding with great success at Turin. The advices from the city of Mexico are to the sth of August. The Government troops were losing ground daily. The cholera has spread from Pesth to all parts of Hungary, and is extremely violent in some of the dis tricts near the river Theiss. Commander Laurenzana, a Neapolitan Colonel under Murat, lately died at Genoa, in the 80th year of his age. He was kr several years a prisoner of Dr. Francia, in Paraguay, and, having been constantly kept there at work in the fields, he was nearly bent double. Mine. Lafont, recently arrived at the Grand Opera, Paris, is understood to be engaged for London next year. The performances of Mine. Ristori and the Italian company at Paris close next week. In addition to her engagement at Vienna this lady will, before returning to Italy, perform at Lyons and other principal cities in the south of France. A telegraphic despatch from Paris states that General Sir Arthur Torrens was buried at Pere la Chaise yester day morning. The Government bas agreed to grant a pension to the mother of Dr. James Thomson, of the 44th, who dis tinguished himself so signally in waiting upon the Rus sion wounded after the battle of the Alma. THE AMBASSADOR OF FRANCE.—His Excellency Count Persigny, invited to come to St. Cloud during the Queen's visit, by a direct and personal despatch from his Imperial Majesty the Emperor, left town o❑ Thurs day last, and is expected back at Albert-gate in the course of next week. HAILEYBURY COLLEGE.—By an act of the late session (18 and 19 Vict., c. 53), the East India Company are to be relieved from maintaining Haileybury College. It is to be closed from the 31st of January, 1858. No person is to be admitted as a student after the 25th of January next. ASHBURTON, DEVON.—The Prince de Joinville and suite spent Friday la-t in this town, visiting the far famed river and wild scenery in the woods, on the banks of the beautiful river Dart. A letter received in this quarter (Glasgow Daily Mail) from one of the crew of the'gun-boat Stork, which took I part in the bombardment of Sweaborq, states that the officers of that vessel, by means of their telescopes, saw the Russians removing the dead in cart-loads. The Piedinontese Gazette of the 23 1 instant announces that the sanitary condition of the crews of the ships of the Sardinian naval division in the East was satisfac tory. That division consisted of the steam-frigate Carlo Alberto, the Governolo, Constituzione, Malfatano, Be raldo, Guloara, and Tripoli. The cholera is still doing much mischief in the vil lages of Lombardy and the Venetian provinces, and, strange to say, this year the situations most likely to be exempt by altitule, &c , have suffered most ; thus, the small towns in the Varse and at the foot of the Alps have been more severely attacked than Milan or Venice. Our police authorities, says the Glasgow I ally Mail, have exemplified a liberal spirit in i-suing orders for a good supply of newspapers to be furnished daily to the various police districts tbrounhout the city. This ar rangement to C3lllO into operation from the let proximo. TOTNES. —Up to Saturday there were various rumours as to the gentlemen likely to contest the borough, and three or four names of candidates were mentioned. The liberals, however, are strong enough to return a re former, which they will do whenever the election takes place. Monday, the 3d of September, has been fixed as a special settling day for Antwerp and Rotterdam Rail way obligations, Ardennes Railway Shares, and Great Western of Canada new shares, the whole of which are to be marked in the official list. AMSTERDAM AND ROTTERDAM DRODUCE-MARKETS.— The weekly reviews from the Ambterdam and Rotter dain proeuce-markets state that, although business had been less active, quotations continued to be well sup ported. The letters from Rouen mention that inereasel purchases of manufactures bad taken place, and that some descriptions bad brought rather higher prices. DEPARTURES FROM THE PORT OF LONDON.—The de partures for the Australian colonies during the past week have comprised five vessels—three to Port Philip, one to Sydney, and one to At'elaide—with an aggregate capacity of 3,151 tons. The rates of freight have not exhibited any material alteration. STATE OF PANAMA.—Accounts from New Granada mention that the provinces of the isthmus—namely, Panama, Azuero, Veragua, and Chiriqui—have been formally constituted into one Government under the title of the State of Panama, with a distinct legislature, which assembled for the fire time at Panama on the 15th of July. On the Panama railway an electric telegraph was in course of construction, and would shortly be completed. CHILL—From Chili the advices are to the 30th of June. Congress was in session, and among the hills before it was one to establish a bank of deposit at Val paraiso ; another, to form a loan-office ; and another, to facilitate the raising of money on lands in order to their improvement. About 200,0001. bad been subscribed for a railroad from Santiago to Talca, and the Government were expected to contribute a like.sum. PERM—From Peru the dates are to the 11th of July. In political affairs there was nothing new. There had been some revival of the gold mining excitement, and several companies were in course of organisation. One party had left for the mines, and an ''American com pany"-Were to leave in about a month. The Government had issued orders to supply them with firearms, including two pieces of cannon, ammunition, proviions, mules, &c. PEEL RIVER COMPANT.—This company have received advices from their superintendent, Mr. King, up to the, 28th May, forwarding Mr. Odernheimer's third,rninera logical report, which is favourable in respect to that.por tion of the land formerly leased to the Cordillera Com piny. However, at the continued high rates for labour, it had not been considered desirable to work the ground on the company's account, but rather to throw open the whole of their gold-fields to the diggers on the licensing ,•ystena. Mr. King considers that he shall not have any difficulty in obtaining a fee of 31. for each man per month, but rather entertains expectations that a large number of people will come forward. THE Meas.—SOUTHAMPTON, Aug. 27.—The Penin sular and Oriental Company's steam-ship . Tagus, 'Cap tain Weekes, sailed this afternoon with the usual mails for Vigo, Oporto, Lisbon, Cadiz, and Gibraltar, 86 pas sengers, specie value 27,9951. for Cadiz, and the usual cargo.

KENSINGTON GARDENS, In consequence of the great number of persons at tracted to thee gardens by the band on Sunday, the 12th, and the great increase of visitors on Sunday, the 19th, the Chief Commissioner of Works gave crders that the number of visitors last Sunday should be taken down, and on entering the gates persons might be seen actively engaged in this duty. The numbers given are various, but supposed to be about 60,000. The gardens in the neighbourhood of the band w ere d ense l y crow d e d , ' and the notice requesting gentlemen not to smoke in the immediate vicinity of the band and the refreshment-room was very generally attended to, much to the satisfaction of the ladies, and those who do not indulge in that self gratification. In other parts of the gardens vast num bers of persons were seen walking and enjoying them - selves, and the whole spectacle was of a most gratifying character. There was nothing in the derneaneur of this vast multitude to offend the fastidi,us eye of even a Sir Andrew Agnew. A great improvement has also taken place in the accommodation offered to the public as re gards chairs and moveable seats. Until lately, these were furnished by one person, were sometimes of a very ricketty character, and the charge was 3d. each. The chairs are now nearly all new, and provided by different persons ; and a notice appears on the trees to the effect that the charge for moveable seats is not to exceed id. Every chair was let, and hundreds of persons were seated in little groups upon the grass listening to the music, and witnessing the gay scene, which was much heightened by the fineness of the weather. Most of the nobility and gentry and members of the corps diplomatique remaining in London appeared to be present, and Sir Benjamin Hall was seen moving about in the crowd arm in arm with the Dean of Durham, apparently enjoying the scene. The following is a correct statement of the number of persons entering Kensington Gardens at each gate :- 1. The gate near the Palace, south side 2,039 2. The gate near the Palace-gate 3,640 3. The gate near the Horse Barracks 3,079 4. Mount-gate. . 5. South-east corner of gardens, south gate 2,671 6. South-east corner of gardens, north gate 7,358 7.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sir,—Lord Dundonald again enforces the powers of his " scheme." The accompanying extract from the Annual Register, 1809, shows what one of his schemes was, and how it succeeded. At the present moment it may ir tereet your readers, as it establishes the success of his plans on a remarkable occasion, of which many among the public have only heard the name. I am, Sir, your obedient servant, A. C. August 27. " The French fleet of eight sail of the line and two frigates was blocked up in Brost harbour by the British fleet under Lord Gambier, who was compelled by wea ther to quit his station. The French fleet thus effected their - escape and entered the Basque-roads, where they were joined by four more sail of the line and two fri gates. They finally anchored in Aix-roads, under the guns of their own torts. Lord Cochrane was app iinted to attack them. On the 10th of April 1809, a number of fireships having joined the fleet, preparations were at once made for the attack. " His Lordship caused 1,500 barrels of gunpowder to be started into puncheons, upon the tops of these were placed about 400 shells charged with fuses, and upon these about 3,000 hand grenades. The puncheons were fastened together by cables wound round them and jammed tight with wedges, and m.)istened sand was rammed down between the casks to render it as solid as possible from stem to stern, that the resistance might render the explosion more violent. "On this vessel, dreadful to imagine, Lord Cochrane, with one lieutenant and four seamen, embarked, and fa voured by a strong northeily wind and flood tide, bore down on the enemy, accompanied by Captain Woodridge with the fireships. " The French fleet, dismayed, endeavoured to avoid destruction by cutting their cables and running on shore. " Lord Cochrane, perceiving they had taken the alarm, set fire to the fuse, and, with his companions, took to the boat. " I❑ consequence of the wind getting high the fuse burnt too quickly, so that, with desperate exertion, the heroic little party were six minutes nearer than they had calculated to be when the most tremendous explosion that human art, ever contrived took place by the burst ing at glade in the air of 400 shells and 3,000 hand gre nade'. "Lord Cochrane no sooner reached his ship than he proceeded to attack the French ships, thrown into con fusion or driven on shore. " The re.ult of this affair .was, that one ship of 120 buns, five of 74, and.two frigates, were driven on shore, and either destroyed or rendered totally useless. One ship of 80 guns, two of 74. and one of 50 guns, and three frigates, were hnrnt by us or their own crews. In this hazardous operation our whole loss amounted to 30 men killed and wounded." THE HON. ARTILLERY COMPANY.—Sunday last being the anniversary of the birthday of his Royal Highness Prince Albert, Captain-General and Colonel of this an cient corps, the regiment mustered at an early hour at head-quarters, Finsbury, under the command of Major Barnard, for the purpose of firing a royal salute in honour of the occasion. At half-past 10 they marched to the church of St, Cuthbert, Fenchurch, preceded by their band, where a very appropriat e and eloquent ser mon was preached by their chaplain, the Rev. Mr. Cox. On their return the artillery division, under the com mand of Captain Robinson, fired the salute, the battalion forming line in rear of the guns. Since the commence ment of the war the household troops have foregone the luxury of white trousers in the summer months ; nn this oeca.sion, therefore, the full parade dress and bearskins forcibly reminded one of the gay and smart appeararce the Gnarls were wont to exhibit at similar periods in St. James's-park.- The letters from Canada with regard to the harvest state that, although anxiety was caused at one period by heavy rains, the c incurrent testimony of the agricul turists in the great wheat-growing districts of the upper province is that in no preceding year have the prospects of large returns been better than at present. NEW YORK.—The mercantile letters from New York this week describe little alteration. The stock market was firm and perhaps more active than usual for the period' of the year, but no material rise in quotations was likely to take place until after the arrival of some of the large supplies of gold expected from California in consequence of the increased yield of the mines. Mean while, however, the New York banks continued to dis count freely, and the money market was therefore with- Out pressure. The importation of manufactured goods from Europe was large, bat not excessive, and still showed a reduction as compared with the corresponding month of last year. The a"counts regarding the pro ceedings on the Mexican frontier continued to excite in terest, and although they were extremely contradictory, they left little doubt that the position of Santa Anna was critical, and that the revolutionists in the northern part of the Republic were receiying open and extensive aid frOm large bodies of United States' sympathisers from Texas, where the principal arrangements of the iasurrection seem to have been planned. AUSTRALIA. —The accounts from Sydney yester day by the Ocean Chief are only two days later than those received from Melbourne by the India mail on the 22d inst. The import mar kets continued to improve, in consequence of the diminution of arrival.i, and the impression was that in less than a year the general state of the mercantile affairs of all the Austra- an colonies will have returned to a perfectly natural and hea'thy position. Provisions of all kinds had expe rienced a further rise, and would be likely to remain at high rates for some months, especially as the tide of im migration was greater than ever, owing to the accessions received from other countries besides the United King dom. Within the past few days another ship had ar rived with 285 Chinese, and a brig had also been re ported with 61, settlers from Monte Video, who were to be followed by, others. The rate of exchange on London had advanced to 4 premium, and hence the quantity of gold brought on this occasion is unusually large for a ship from Sydney direct. The other vessels known to have sailed are the Duke of Northumberland, with 1,712 ounces, and the Lady Wh arnc liff e , with 1,634 ounces, from SYriney ; and the Eagle, with 43,979 ounces, fr , mi Melbourne, whence also the Essex, Northumberland, and Boomerang were all on the point of early departure, most probably with eonsi lerable sums. BIRMINGHAM MUSICAL FESTIVAL. BIRMINGHAM, Monday.—The above festival, for the benefit of the General Hospital, under the patronage of her most gra cious Majesty the Queen, and most of the leading nobi lity of the kingdom, commences to-morrow morning, and promiees to surpass, in point of talent and attraction, any assembly of the kind: which has taken place here for some years past. The demand for tickets up to the present time has been greater than on any previous oc casion' and the pecuniary succ e ss of the festival is now Placed beyond a doubt. INAUGURATION OF THE PEEL STATUE AT BIRMING HAM.--Monclav Evening.—To-day not less than 50,000 persona assembled in this town to do honour to the memory of the above late distinguished statesman, by the inauguration of a splendid statue, worthy of the man and the town. .At half-past eleven o'clock, the com mittee appointed shortly afte r the melancholy death of Sir Robert Peel, to raise a monument to his memory, the Mayer, Aldermen, and Town Councillors of the borough, and a large number of other gentlemen as sembled in the Waterloo-rooms, and at twelve o'clock walked in procession to the top of New-street, where a splendid bronze statue has been raised on an appropriate pedestal. The concourse of persons in the neighbour hood was immense, and the utmost .interest felt by all present to witness the ceremony. A large platform, erected in frontA the st +tue, was occupied by the cor poraYion and their friends, and every window from whiql a view could be obtained was occupied by ladies. Shortly before twelve o'clock the Hon. and Rev, G. M. Yorke addressed the assembly, and the statue was un covered amid enthusiastic cheering. An address was then read by the Town Clerk, after which the Mayor, J. Palmer, ESq., eloquently acknOWledged the gift to the town, and the proceedings terminated with votes of thanks to the several gentlemen who were chiefly instru mental in the inauguration.

Among the officers who have distinguished themselves the order of the day mentions Generals Herbillon and de Failly, as well as Colonel Forgeot, of the artillery, and adds, that the cavalry under General Morris were ready to have followed up the pursuit of the enemy, but that the General in -Chief, who does not lose sight of the principal object of the great enterprise in which France is engaged, wished to spare useless bloodshed, after having once more proved the superiority of the French infantry over the vaunted Russian troops.

This morning, at a quarter-past 7, I descried the Victoria and Albert Royal standard just above the horizon, about 20 miles beyond the • Nab light-ship. At half-past 'T the hull of the Royal yacht be came visible, and at 10 minutes past 8 she passed the Nab. On passing through Spithead, a few minutes later, the garrison battery at Portsmouth fired a Royal salute, announcing the Queen's return. The Royal yacht arrived off Osborne at about a quarter to 9. The Vivid was next, following the Victoria and Albert, the Osborne followed the Vivid, the dis tance between each vessel being about five or six miles. Weather beautiful. FRANCE.. P ARTS, AUGUST 27. Yesterday, 26th Angus+, being the anniversary of Prince Albert's birthday, the Emperor conceive :I the idea of giving his guest a military salute of a kind unusual in England. All the drummers of the various corps of the garrison were ordered to St. Cloud early. They mustered at half-past eight in front of the bridge, all in full uniform, and headed by the senior drum major. They then pro ceeded to the Cour d'Honneur, and immediately commenced the salute, with which the Royal party were i!iuch amused. We read in the V oniteur :—" The number of letters addressed to the Queen of England during her residence at St. Cloud has been so great that it has been impossible to send immediate answers to all of them, but they will be replied to hereafter." The Queen of England has authorised the muni cipal authorities to give her name to the new line of communication opened between the Place de l'Hotel de Ville and the Place du Chatelet. The Moniteur says :—" The Earl of Clarendon, Minister of Foreign Affairs to her Britannic Ma jesty, went yesterday to the Hotel of the French Minister of .Foreign Affairs, and had a long con ference with Count Walewski." The Moniteur publishes a decree authorising a number of persons to accept and wear foreign orders. Amongst them is M. Magna, the Minister of Finance, who has received the Grand Cross of the Portuguese order of our Lady of the Concep tioTnhoef English a is V h i s C tea sa o . ier Robert Lowe left Marseilles on Saturday with 910 men on board for the E tst. The steam-frigate Orinoco, and the Zenobie fri gate, have also left the same port for the Black Sea with troops and stores. The Presse d'Orient says :—" The 2d regiment of Turkish Cossacks, which is Completely formed, has received orders to proceed. from Schumla, to Varna for embarkation. Its destination is at pre sent unknown. It has beer already mentioned that a quay had been re cently constructed at Varna by the French enQinieers, and a road from Rassowa to Kustendje. The probable construction of a pier to defend Kustetidje against the heavy weather produced by easterly winds is now spoken of. It will also allow of the, entrance of vessels at all times into the port, anf 1 form a good shelter. l'he military authorizes ha ve been for some time making very large purchasi:s in forage. A great part of the DobruAcha is filled with mowers work ing for them." A letter from St. Petersl.7.urg, of the 17th, in the Itioniteur, says :—" The bombardment of Swea borg has ceased; the enemy's fleet have returned to Nargen, and yet, except a few telegraphic de spatches, nothing offi.cial has yet been published on this event. From this silence it is necessarily concluded that the bombardment has caused great damage, and that the report to be published on this subject is undergoing a strict revision. Hence . there is a b un d ance of conjectures. The fortifica tions, that is, the Irarlite wall s o f S wea b or g, have, no doubt, suffered but little, but it seems that whatever could has been destroyed. What, be sides, is more important than the tangible damage done to Sweaborg is the moral impression the event has produced, for no one now thinks himself secure behind granite walls."

The Cologne Gazette contains the following from Vienna of the 21st :—" The*Turkish Ambassador, Arif-Effendi, had a long conference with Count Buol yesterday ; the question of the project formed by the Weistern Powers to transport the trieatreof I war to the Danube next spring was the object of this conference. Austria does not entirely approve of this project, and has already made it the sub ject of representation at Constantinople. It is said that Arif Effendi has handed to Count . Buol the reply of his government to that note." PRUSSIA. A letter from Beilin of the 22d, in the Augs burg Gazette, says :—" The last circular of the Austrian Cabinet was not intended to be handed to the German Cabinets, but had rather the character of instructions addressed to the representatives of Austria, as to the lan guage which they were to hold with regard to the resolution of the Diet of the 26th July. This ex plains why it has been said that it had not been communicated to the Cabinet of Berlin. This latter Cabinet has replied in the same manner, by charging its ambassador at Vienna to make known to Count Buol the contents of a despatch trans mitted to that ambassador. As to the Austrian despatch the contents of it are as follows Count de i3uol begins by expressing his satisfaction at the union which has been arrive 1 at in the Diet as re gards form, and attributes that result in the Fede ral sentiments which Austria has testified. But as to the question whether Austria is completely satisfied with the contents of the resolution of the 26th July, the Minister declares that to his great regret he must -reply in the negative. In the course of the document, Count de Buol observes that in the last application which it had made, the Cabinet of Vienna wished to induce the Diet to formally accept the four points, and that it had re lied the more fully on the accomplishment of that wish, that since the month of December last the Diet had expressly recognised the four points as an appropriate basis of peace. To this the Count adds that in the negotiations between the Garman courts the necessity of a union of all Germany on a well-determined programme was ..:everal times mentioned. Never, therefore, has a better opportunity presented itself for the Diet to come to a decisive resolution with regaid to the divergent interests, by unanimously and energeti cally joining in the policy of Austria. Count de Baol concludes by expressing a hope that the ulte rior de velopmeut of events will determine the mem bers of the Diet, in the well-understood interest of Garmany, to also adopt on their side the programme .of the four points, which the allies of the 2d Dec. still maintain, and on the basis of which Ru s sia is still disposed to negotiate, and to furnish to Aus tria, iu the efforts which she may make to enforce that programme, a support which will not be sim ply theoretical." Voss's I''azette of Berlin gives the following as the reply of Prussia to the Austrian communica tion :—" The Prussian Government has replied to the circular despatch from the Cabinet of Vienna, in which the Imperial Government speaks of the resolution of the Diet of the 26th July, and ex presses a hope that Germany will end by guaran teeing the four points. This reply has been trans mitted to the Prussian Ambassador at Vienna, and is to be read by him to Count Buol. The main point of it is the following is impossible for the Prussian Government to share in the re grets which the resolution of the 26th July causes to the Cabinet of Vienna ' • on the contrary, it is very glad not to be bound to the four points, con sidering the various chances to which they have been exposed." THE BALTIC FLEET. DANTZIC, Aug. 24.—The Geyser, 7, Commander R. Dew, left Nargen last Tuesday evening, at eight o'clock, and, after a very rough passage, arrived here this morning with the weekly mails. With the bombardment of Sweaborg the opera tions of the Baltic fleet will, in all proLbility, be brought to a close for this season. All the mortar vessels left on the 19th : the Euryal us will con vey them as far as the Belt, and the Basilisk (which vessel, havieg burst one of her boilers, is going home for repairs) is to accompany them on to England. Rai her an interesting fact in connection with this subject is, that during the late attack on Sweaborg the English mortar vessels alone fired 3,150 shells, weighing 590 tons, to an average distance of two miles and one furlong. No wonder, after such heavy service, that they are now sent home as unfit for further use. On the 16th Admiral Seymour arrived in the Exmouth at Cronstadt, to take the command of the squadron stationed there; this, however, will soon be compelled, in consequence of the continued bad weather, to seek another and a safer anchor oge. Seskar Island is spoken of as the place likely to ,be chosen for this purpose. Admiral Baynes left Cronstadt in the Retribution on the 18th, and after communicating with the Commander-in-Chief at Nargen proceede on a cruise up the Gulf of Bothnia. In the Russian account of the bombardment of Sweaborg, it is stated that, when the fleet left that place for Nargen on the 13th, they had a "disabled frigate" in tow. It may bo as well, if only for the sake of truth, to mention, that the "disabled frigate" was nothing more or less than our hospital ship Bellisle, which, being only a sailing vessel, is generally towed by one of, the steamers. On the 15th six Russian gun-boats came out from Cronstadt, and, having intimated by their movements that they were prepared to measure their strength with any vessel that dared to go out to meet them, the Imperieuse, Bulldog, and Cen taur were ordered to slip_in close and try to cut them off. The Russian gun-boats, however, beat a retreat as quickly as possible into shallow water, evidently in the hope that our large vessels would attempt to follow ; in this, however, they were dis appointed. The Itnperieuse, Bulldog, and Centaur opened a brisk fire upon them, which was returned. Tile engagement lasted about two hours ; little da mage, was done on either side. the present stock of wheat at Dantzic amounts to about 2,000 1 sts only. Wheat crops this year are said to be very de fective and inferior. RUSSIA. We have received the St. Petersburg journals of the 19th inst. The Invalide Busse publishes the following from Asia : "In a 'report dated the 11th (23d) of July, from the camp at the village of Tikme, Aide-de-Camp General Mouravieff gives an account of two exploring expedition happily executed on the 3d (15th) and 9th (21st) July, by the flying detachments of Major-General Baklanoff and of Colonel Kamkoff. The object of these operations was gradually to hem in more and more the entrenched camp at Kars, and to cut off the army of Anatolia, shut up in it from the provinces it has to defend, and ,from which it draws its provisions. " Major-General Baklanoff left the camp at Tikme on the 3d (15th( of July ; took a direction ,west of Kars, and suddenly appeared on the north side the same day ; di-persed a body of foragers near the place where the the small stream, the Berdyk, runs into the Kars-tchai. In this encounter two Turkish officers and seven men were made prisoners, and seven Turf:s were killed. "Advancing then on the Ardah%n road, our detach ment; after a march of 50 verstes, arrived on the 4th (16th) of July at the village of Blijo)-Djdlaous, and on the sth (17th) showed itself on the high road leading from Kars to the Sandjak of Ghel, where it succeeded in making some prisoners. On the 6th (18th) Major- General Baklanoff rejoined our main body, having ex ph:red to a considerable distance all the roads north of Kars, and spread alarm in the neighbouring districts, without the slightest loss. "Colonel Kamkoff obtained a similar success in his excursion on the Ghel route, the only road of communi cation which the garrison of Kars had still open with Erzerouin. During the movement the leaders of the vagrant tribes offend bread and salt to our troops. Colonel Kamkoff penetrated far into the unknown parts of the Sandjak of Ghel, forced the enemy's convoys that were following that road to disperse, and interrupted all communication on the Ghel road, so important to the army of Anatolia. "The precarious position of the latter is beginning to show itself by desertion. Its soldiers not only seek a refuge in the neighbouring villages, but even in our camp. At Kars itself the price of bread has increased threefold in one month." Under date of the sth (17th) of August, the Military Governor of St. Petersburg has issued the following notification : "On the 4th (16th) of August, about noon, six of our gun-boats, of Rear-Admiral Moffet's detachment, pro ceeded beyond the Tonlboukirt Lighthouse to recon noitre the enemy, who sent a screw frigate and two, floating steam batteries against them, whilst three screw men-of-war got up their steam. " Having let them approach within long range, Rear- Admiral Moffet retired, firing all the time, under the protection of the fortifications. As far as it was able to be observed, one of the enemy's rtearners received three shots in her hull. Not one of our gun-boats was touched. Before coming within range of the cannon of the forts the enemy's vessels ported helm, and rejoined their fleet, in which no other movement was visible. FORBES MACKENZIE'S Act —We have reason to be lieve, says the Edinburgh Courant, that things are going on in this city, a description of which would bring difn ma y among the staunchest partisans of the new law. Clubs, unless we are misinformed are already formed a mong the young er p ar t of our population, and stores of liquor laid in at private rooms taken for the purpose, where scenes of pr3fligacy occur such as could not take place in an open public-house. We expect to submit more information upon this subject to our readers before lon g . As for th e spy system, which we find both avo wed and, to our amazement, justified, we trust public opinion will suffi ce t o put d own that scandalous abuse .
