We still wage a rose-water war, and will not grapple with the stern realities of our position. Sebastopol will be captured, and the effect of its loss tried on Russia, before we pro ceed to the next step to punish her contumacy and perverse obstinacy. It ought not to be so, nor would it, if the Government were less under the influence of Germanism and Coburgism. But, unfortunately, we must deal with the materials on hand, and base our calcula tions on the existing elements. Besides, the coast from Odessa to Perekop, and the rivers Dneister, Boug, and Dnieper, will be work for the smaller steamers and boats. The first -rates cannot be occupied thereon. The Danube has also been mentioned ; but beside that it would, like the other rivers, be merely work for pigmies, which giants could not be called on to perform, it appears that the indis pensable operations in that site are provided for from another source. The Courrier de Marseilles positively affirms, and with much apparent truth, that the purchase of the fleet of steamers plying on the Rhone hasbeen concluded, for the purpose of removing the Russian power on the Danube. There are in all 97 boats in this fleet, which will be adequate for all the river work, the necessity whereof was so strangely disregarded by England up to this time. Our faithful Ally well merits the honour of this important movement, which will unquestionably be productive of the most startling results, and convince Russia, aye, and Austria, that we are really in earnest ; but it proves also that the efforts at Kamiesch cannot be intended for the Danube, and leaves Sebastopol as the sole quarter against which it can possibly be directed. We rejoice at this, for we have no doubt that the result of the combined attack will be such as we long since indicated, and which we pointed out as the best course even last year, before the land defences on the south side had been so powerfully strengthened by the engineering efforts of General TODLEBEN and his staff. What we then explained is even at this moment no less feasible, and affords the most auspicious auguries for the success of the Allied arms. iii;lt douu -;c) `+v;, :11 L t 1,2 sliglitest pressure from any quarter. Tile Noble Secretary for the Colonies did all iu his power to evade the untoward revelations) but, unfortu nately, be was too deeply compromised to render secrecy possible. Count BUOL had previously " let the cat out of the bag," and even before the publication of the recent papers—which the Hon. Member for the Wick Burghs adopted as the text for his address of last night—proved the complicity of England's Plenipotentiary in the hollow propositions of Austria, he was brought to the bar of public opinion, and unanimously convicted on irresistible testimony. His plea of " guilty" was forced on him under the pressure of the " peine fort et dare" which he could not longer sustain or pro crastinate under any plea of expediency.

No shareholder will be liable beyond the amount of his shares, louses to that effect being inserted in every guarantee and contract. Lu used need be signed until after the first Annual Meeting. This Company is not to be regarded as a new institution. but simply as an extension and reconstruction, on the proprietary system, of the Solvency Mutual Guarantee Company, which, since its complete re g,.tration in 1652, has, even with the limited powers afforded by the pureiy mutual constitution, and in the race of many and vast diftl caltiesr4achieved a position and attained an amount of business which it is confidently asserted have never been equalled by any institution within the same time. This success it is believed will be greatly aug mented and consolidated by a further development of its powers. The plan as now extended offers to shareholders a safe and (espe cially by means of the discount branch) lucrative investment, be , sides reserving to them one-third of the profits arising from the gua rantee business of the Company. The remaining two-thirds of these profits to be divided among the assured members, who, in addition to the advantages conferred by their guarantees, will derive legiti mate and most valuable assistance through the Discount, Reference, and Debt Recovery Departments. ' The business of the Company, which by the Deed of Constitution may be greatly extended, comprises chiefly— The DEBT GUARANTEE DEPARTMENT. T app li c ation of the principle of assurance to this p ur p ose i s base upon accurately compiled tables, by which it is demonstrated that, among the immense number of merchants, bankers, manufac turers, and traders of Great Britain, there is , in each occupation, within equal periods, a determinate average amount of insolvency. The operations of this department comprise :- 1. Gross Annual Return Guarantees, embracing the total sales of a trader for allied term. 2. , Mating Elsie Guarantees, insuring only a specified part of an nual sales, But such was not the case with Mr. LAING— " CußTitts"-like, he voluntarily sprung into the gaping gulf in which so many public characters had previously been entombed, and gloried in the gratuitous sacrifice ! It was his own " act and deed," for which he was solely responsible ; and we can only regret that one for whom, in common with the community at large, we entertained a high respect, and looked forward to as one of the " coming men," should so unnecessarily and reck lessly have abandoned the high position he had previously occupied. The Honourable Gentleman brought no new light on the subject. He merely pursued the beaten track that had previously been traversed by GLADSTONE, GRAHAM, and HERBERT, MILNER GIBSON, BRIGHT, and COBDEN*. He might not have proceeded at so rapid a pace, or arrived at so advanced a stage as these Right Hon. and Hon. Gentlemen. He does not yet applaud Russia, but ha justifies Austria. He has not assumed the Muscovite livery, but he has donned the Germanic uniform, and proudly sported the Coburg badge. We regret the star that has fallen from the poli tical hemisphere, that no longer is regarded with respect and almost veneration, but is proved to be a mere shapeless mass of worthless material. g. Special Risk Guarantees, covering separate risks, at premiums _varying according to the nature of each case. The BANKING and DINCOUNT DEPARTMENT. The objects of this department are, by discounting trade bills covered by guarantees issued by the Company, to afford to the share. holders a safe profit, and to the assured the advantages of a " dis coult account "in union with a guarantee on their gross annual ales. ' The system adopted will, when fully developed, differ in no mate rial respect from the usual business of the Joint Stock Banks. The operations of this department compriso Chiefly 1. The discount of trade bills covered by guarantees issued by this Company on gross annual returns. A preference will be given to < the business of shareholders. _ _ 2. The discoant of claims admitted under any of the guarantee departments, but not due. 3. The receiving of moneys on debentures or deposit receipts. The discounting of bills is strictly limited to approved trade bills not having more than four months to run and covered by policies issued by the " Debt Guarantee Department." It is obvious that this last mentioned restriction must givelo the paper under discount a security more perfect than ordinarily pertains to such invest ments. Persons therefore who seek for a permanent or temporary invest ment at their surplus capital at the highest rate of interest comps, tibia with safety, will find in this branch of the Company's operations a means certainly not less safe and remunerative than any afforded by the Joint-stock and private banks. . _ _ The deed of constitution provides for an annual division of the profits, after the following equitable scheme : One-third.—To the shareholders as a bonus, in addition to the entire profits arisin4 from the use of their capital in the discount de partment. He now comes forward to tell us that the Western Powers have, since the publication of the latest documents, forfeited the good opinion of Europe ; that they are no longer regarded with confidence and friendship by " men of business " in other nations on account of their refusal to act in accordance with the suggestions, or rather the dictates, of Austria. "It was felt (he said) that we had committed a great mistake in so doing." The Honourable Gentleman, however, produced no evidence in support of the assertion. It was merely his own impressions and arguments which he detailed to the House, and these he urged with all the zeal of a recent convert, al though not powerfully enough to satisfy the fasti dious, and, on that point, almost fanatic, taste of the Honourable Member for the West Riding, who deemed it necessary to grapple with the as sertion that the War had ever been necessary or justifiable. Tivo-thirds.—To the assured, to be divided according to the rules; one-hair to be applied annuallyin reduction of future premiums, and the remaining half to be applied in the formation of a reserved fund.

CHARLES STUART CANSDELL, Managing Director. 38, Ring William-street, London-bridge. Mr. LAING'S conversion has, however, only been since the rejection of the latest propositions of Austria. That, according to the Honourable Gentleman, was the first Ministerial mistake. The Government should at once have accepted the duty of gratuitous guardians of the Black Sea, bound to keep watch and ward over Russia, and to preserve Turkey from the perpetually impending danger. In tender consideration for the scruples of Russia, there was to be no limita tion on her, although the Western Powers were to be restrained by red-tape ligaments. She was to bring forward any naval force she thought pro per, while France and England were to be limited to half the number ! She would make them bow themselves beneath the yoke ; and Austria, the pretended friend of the Allies, would induce them to do so, as if they had been the suppliants foi Russian forbearance, and deSired her permis sion to withdraw from the contest ! ItrADEMOISELLE RACHEL. ST. JAMES'S THEATRE. Mr. MITCHELL begs respectfully to announce that, In consequence • of the ntmerous pressing demands that Mille.

It is ridiculous to call it " counterpoise," for the aggressor, whose only possible purpose could be conquest and annexation, might increase her power to any extent, while the guardian., should wait until the marauders had made the addition to their means cf attack before they raised theirs to half the amount, sufficient, per haps, to meet the victors of " Sinope" and of " Hango " in fair fight, but not to ensure peace. If Russia has deliberately rejected the too lenient terms offered, Austria has put forward that which Lord CLARENDON truly designated as "inadequate and impracticable," and she would not even pledge herself to enforce these terms if re jected, but merely hinted that some "fourth system might arise out of the ashes of the three systems now floating in the air." She would not even make the refusal of her own proposition a cases belli. Of this there is un questionable evidence, for Lord JOHN RUSSELL may be regarded as an unimpeachable witness on such a point. The debate was rather unexpec tedly adjourned, the House breaking up in much admired confusion. We earnestly hope that it may not be renewed, for no further discussion can be beneficial to the nation, or to the cause which an overwhelming majority of the people are irrevocably determined to sustain and support.

There is reason to believe that the importance of scientific research is not, generally speaking, adequately appreciated. The public are wont to look upon science as something too abstract and recondite to warrant sympathy with its disciples, and it is only when the application of its resources has results as patent as propulsion by steam or communication by electricity that their apprecia tion verges towards the mark. There is, notwithstanding, reason to be grateful that the researches of men of science in the laboratory of Nature have been rewarded, and will, doubtless, continue to be so by discoveries of the greatest value to mankind discoveries tending materially to ameliorate their con dition, and particularly by the prevention and cure of many destructive forms of disease. Striking illustrations of this have been presented in our fleets in the Baltic and the Black Sea, where, by the judicious application of Sir WILLIAM BURNETT'S disinfecting fluid, pesti lence has in numerous instances been stayed, and a wholesome atmosphere secured, under the most unfavourable circumstances with the most satis factory results. In one case, that of H.M. troop-ship Timandra, at Scutari, where the two assistant-surgeons in charge had not only to render their professional services to 200 sick men unable to go on deck, and constantly using the bed-pans with not a soul to empty them, but had also to discharge the offices of nurse, they were enabled by attention and the free use of the dis infecting fluid to keep the place sweet and whole some, so that no casual visitor could have de tected the preceding fact, the result being that even the most offensive cases of gangrene were treated with success. In H.M. ship the Prince Regent, the surgeon was induced to use it after a case of cholera and, several of diarrhoea had occurred, and he was rewarded by an entire cessation of attacks. In H.M. ship the James Watt, which lost two men by cholera at Bomarsund, the employment of the disinfecting quid was followed by the same results, and to the use of this preventive the exemption from disease of her Majesty's ships Bulldog, Arrogant, Gorgon, Dragon, Driver, and half-a-dozen others, is confidently ascribed. The crowded state of ships of war, and the facilities there unavoidably offered for the spread of disease in its most viru lent types, have only to be considered to cause us to feel grateful that such an agent was in these instances forthcoming. At the present time it is not too much to say no household should be with out it, and it should be immediately employed when the existence of any offensive smell is ascer tained. Life is sweet ; and, thanks to science, by the use of the disinfecting fluid, the ravages of cholera, and other forms of zymotic disease, may be averted. Will be presented THE SECRET AGENT.

The Peelites have furnished, perhaps, the most striking, Mr. LAING the latest `instance. The Hon. Gentleman has followed the example of Lord JOHN RUSSELL, and irretriev- The views w hick we have repeatedly put for ward respecting a combined attack on Sebastopol by land and water seem to obtain additional con fimatiou every day. The extraordinary prepara rations at Kamiesch could not have been made for nothing. That something was on the Lapis was palpable, but opinion was divided as to the destination of the contemplated expedition. Some would have it that Genitehi and the Putrid Sea was the object of attack ; but that was merely a matter for ship's boats and launches, not for the vessels themselves. The larger classes could not even find their way into the Sea of Azoff ; and our lamented hero, Captain LYONS, had proved that English frigates were fully com petent for all the work that could be cut out for them in that quarter, and that there was, therefore, no possible necessity or even utility for putting men-of-war into motion for what could be most effectually disposed of at a much less ex penditure of power.

But we fear that Odessa is not as yet aimed at. We have not displayed suffi cient evidence of earnestness or determination to cripple Russia to warrant the expectation that SIR DE LACY EV ANS.

Sir,—A letter has appeared in the Daily News of this lay, and another has been addressed to me from the Council of the Friends of Poland. I shall feel much obliged if you will cause insertion of this my reply to both. The Council honour me by proposing again that I should take the chair at a future meeting. This I feel under the necessity of respectfully declining, because I think it was most unfair to make it appear that I was responsible for, or a party to, the decision of not holding the meeting that was announced for the Ist inst. It is stated by the Council that my letter of apology was not received till late in the afternoon of the Ist inst. Between nine and ten o'clock of the forenoon it was de livered by my servant at the residence of the gentleman acting for the Council, and his card was returned to me to indicate its receipt. I gave due notice a full week previously, that as my health was not good, it would be necessary to have another chairman in readiness to take my place in the event, on my part, of inefficiency to pro ceed with the business, and I received an assurance that this should be provided for. As has been before observed, about a dozen noble men and gentlemen of high consideration were re peatedly stated as amongst those to be present at this meeting. In short, the Marquis of Breadalbane, seve ral earls, baronets, cabinet ministers, and distinguished members of the House of Commons, form, I believe, the Association or Council of the Friends of Poland—most, or all of whom, I was led to believe, were deeply anxi ous to support this movement. How, then, was it pos sible for me to suppose that not one of these devoted f b r e i e w n (1 1 i g of theto preside cause w o o n ul t d h , is in o c c a cai case of its a n b d e s in o g to p req r u e i v r e e n d t , the disapp o i ntment that has occurred ' ? Twice in the invitation I was honoured with, the Marquis of Breadalbane was officially alluded to, as the President of the Council whose support I was to count on, and at whose i nstance I was addrssed.

There are already 10,000 infantry and 2,000 cavalry, the latter well mount.d. The troops, both cavalry and infantry, act with the greate4t alacrity, and slow the utmost obedience to the commands of their officers. The British officers attached to the corps are already able, to a great extent, to work the men in the field in their own language. Neither the general nor the officers find it necessary to have a body guard. _ _ THE CIVIL SERVICE. Ordnance-office, Adjutant- Ger eral's Department.—ln consequence of the superan nuation of Messrs.

STATE Or TRADE.—The lace business continues quiet, the few articles making being in the fancy trade ; and without any development of future prospects. The ba lance of the Chinese silk crop for the month of August, required to make up 50,000 bales for the year just ended, would be 6,000 bales; but the circulars will probably not appear till the sth inst. The lull in hosiery has this week been diversified to a slight extent by the receipt of a few sorting-up orders for the home trade, which may therefore be pronounced a little better; and also some supplementary American orders, indicating of course that the goods already taken have fallen short of the season's requirements and that they are wanting more. This, at all times a hopeful symptom, is particularly so at present, because it chimes in with the prevalent im pression derived from all the markets for our produce, that, after this lull is over, they will generally be found disposed to operate more briskly than ever. The Ca nadian trade is at an end for the present ; the Australian has manifested a little improvement. Altogether, al though with these small exceptions we have nothing new to report, we cannot say that any peculiar scarcity of employment is experienced by workpeople. In fact the manufacturers complain that the army and militia absorb all their best hands. One house states its enlistments, during the last fortnight, to have amounted to fourteen. And we know of an instance where there have been roundabout frames standing idle for at least that period, with a notice reqeiring hands posted on the factory doors. In the glove branch the bands have from long continued depression got so completely dispersed that it is believed a difficulty would be experienced in again re suming activity were a demand to arise, owing to the manner in which military ardour has thinned the ranks of the operatives. A rise of 2(1. per lb. or ls. 6d. per bundle has been fixed by the Messrs. Hollins, of Pleasley, who are almost the sole spinners for our market on merino yarns. This rise proceeds trom the advance on Australian wools at the colonial wool sales noticed in our last,--Notts Guard/cm. RAILWA Y S -70 R CASH. fr. c. fr. C.

Deutsche Post states that at the late visit of the Archbishop of Cherson to Se bastopol for the purpose of giving his blessing to the army, his Grace, after delivering an animated address to the troops, turned to General Osten- Sacken, and said—" My son, the last time we met (after the bombArdnymt of Odessa), it was a divine inspiration which led me to say to you, 'Go and fight,—and the Lord our God will give you vic tory.' The words of my prophecy are accomplished. By the defence of file fortress committed to your care, you have gained immortal laurels for yourself and your soldiers. And now I say to you once more—' Fight and f riumph,' for you are the elect of the Lord, destined to become the scourge of his enemies.' " The wriiter adds—" It is indeed sur prising that General Osten-Sacken, whose military career extends over 48 years, who has assisted at more than 100 battles and combats, in which he has usually been foul id in the first ranks, has never received even the slightest wound." YURKEY. Some of the recent letters from Constantinople have insinuated that Omer Pacha had left the Crimea without leave. This, however, does not appear to have been the case, the fact being, that on the generalissimo having some time since com plained to the Porto that he had been always re fused permission to visit the capital, the Govern ment replied by sending him a regular leave of absence, which he was to use when he thought convenient. PI.EDMO_NT. The Cagliari papers, of the 21st and 22d ult., give ;ome account of the commencement of the operations for the suppression of the convents in virtue of the new law. At Sassari, all the monas tic establishments for males opened their doors to the authorities without the slightest difficulty, not withstanding a circialar from the bishop exhorting them to resist. The mins, on the contrary, made a good deal of resis tance, and in several instances the doors had to be forced open. At the convent Santa Chiara, the abbess refused to obey the sum mons, but an animated discussion, in a subdued tone, was heard to ,go on within, and two voices wero at last distinctly heard to advocate obedience to the law, but without success ; so that the autho rities had to use force to effect their object. When at last they were enabled to bring the inventory, they found so few ar ticks of value, that it became evident a good man y must have been removed. No popular agitation or disturbance occurred in any case during those proceedings. RUSSIA. We have received the St. Petersburg journals of the 26th of July. Under the head of "News from the Crimea," the Journal de St. _Petersbourg publishes the fol lowing "To complete the telegraphic despatches of Aide-de- Camp Prince Gortschakoff, the following details are taken from that officer's journal of operations from the 28th of June to the sth. of July (10th to the 17th of July) : " 'During that period of time the enemy limited them selves to the usual cannonade and to the fire of their riflemen along the whole line of defence of Sebastopol ; at times they coucentrateclilltheir fire on certain points, and at night threw shells into the town and roadstead. " The losses of the garrison have been moderate. " The artillery of the place replied with success to the besiegers, dismounting their guns, impeding their approaches, and stopping them altogether on some points. Our works for strengthening our fortifications and for the internal defence of Sebastopol have been completed, despite the proximity of the fire of the enemy's musketry and grape.' " To the above, general summary Prince Gortschakoff adds some details on the principal operations on either side " 'June 28 (July 10).—Duringithe day the enemy kept up a heavy cannonade against Bastion No. 3, and the left face of Bastion No. 4. Those works replied ac tively to the besiegers. The operations of the latter consisted in enlarging and deepening their trenches, and their lodgments against the Korniloff Bastion. " 'June 29 (July 11).----On our side we repaired the damage done to Bastions 3 and 4, and constructed new traverses and new blindages. The enemy worked at their entonnoirs in front of Bastion 4, lengthened their trench in front of Bastion 2, constructed a new lodgment in the quarry above the Dock ravine, and tried to com plete their trench in front of Bastion 5 of the Korniloff Bastion and on the incline of the IVlamelon. The fire from our works constantly impeded their operations. " June 30 (J u l y 12 ). —Th e enem y's fire was livelier, and during the night they threw a great number of shells into the town and roadstead. They also worked with great zeal at their approaches nearest our line of defence, where they succeeded in effecting a new lodg ment against the Korniloff Bastion, and they pushed forward their AnproPches from o:treening Bay towards ! 8a..3;,;c:a Li, was obsexved. from tin . , town that 1 large citin.ntities of ammunition were brou2ht tip to all tie enemy's batterks, and especially to those trocted - opposite Bastion 4. " 'July 1 (July 18). —During title day the enemy's fire was violent, At night, as usual, they - red shells and rockets. The lodgments of the besiegers on the left flank of the advanced trenches of the Mamelon were somewhat enlarged, and the height and thickness in creased ; our epaulements in front of Bastion 2 were again occupied by the enemy. The fire of the town batteries was directed against the enemy's batteries of Careening Bay, in front of Bastion 1, and on the ancient Selinghinsk and Volhynia redoubts ; moreover, an unin terrupted fire was kept up from all the bastions and batteries of the line of defenoeagainst the enemy's nearest trenches. "'July 2 (July 14).—The enemy's fire was heavier than usual, but did not so serious damage to our works. About noon their fire was directed particularly against Bastion 4 ; the concentrated fire of our batteries, how ever, silenced the French guns ; at the same three mines were sprung from the entonnoirs against the salient angle of Bastion 4, but they did us no harm. The ope ration of the enemy were confined to increasing the thickness of the parapets of their advanced trenches. " In the night between the ld and 3d of July (14th and 15th) three companies of the Sevsk Regiment, pre ceded by volunteers and by some Greeks, under the orders of Major Lvoff, made a sortie from the Korniloff Bastion against the Quarry and the lodgment made by the enemy mar it. Although the French, who occupied that part• of the trenches, had field artillery and fired grape, our companies, by a vigorous attack, drove the enemy out of the lodgment, which they destroyed, and made three pi isoners. '~On the 3d (15th) of July the fire of the enemy's artillery was at times heavier than on preceding days ; in the afternoon and at night the cannonade was .very heavy, and they fired an immense quantity of projectiles into the town and works. No particular operations were undertaken by the enemy. "On the 4th (16th) of July a sharp cannonade was concentrated by the enemy against Bastions 1,2, and 3, and against the Nikonoff Battery. On our side, the artillery of the town, directed by Major General Schedemann, succeeded in blowing up a powder maga zine situate beyond the Chersonese. At 11 at night we fired smoke balls with effect from the mining galleries in front of Bastion 4, and towards midnight the volunteers who form the chain in front of Bastion 2 threw them selves, led on by Captain Gorlinoff of the Kretnent chouk, Chasseurs, upon the lodgments occupied by the enemy on the night between the Ist and 2d (13th and 14th) July, and forced the French to retreat precipi tately into their rear trenches, from which they opened a heavy fire of musketry. Nevertheless, our brave volun teers destroyed a portion of the lodgment, and returned to our works with two prisoners." The Invalide Busse has the following : " From our left wing we learn that on the 23th of June (10th of July), the enemy's cavalry, 10 squadrons strong, showed itself near the village of Savatki. A por tion of these troops encamped near Baidar, and some squadrons approached Bagha. On the 29th of June (11th of July) this cavalry, and some columns of in fantry, advanced from Baidar on Ourkousta, where after having crossed the mountain they redescended towards the pass of the village of Koukoulouz. "On the 2,1 (14th) of July, at daybreak, the enemy, four squadrons strong, with a chain of riflemen, sup ported by two companies, left the valley of Baidar, and advanced on the village of Onzenba-cliik ; the cavalry was followed by two battalions of infantry. The Cossack picket posted on the mountain pass fell back, skirmish ing, on its reserve, and the enemy having reached the orchards of Ouzenbasehik, and having halted there for some time, returned to their camp. Four Cossacks were wounded during the skirmish. " O❑ the 3d (15th) of July, we made a reconnaissance to inspect the enemy's position in the valley of Baidar and the roads leading to it ; Cossacks, supported by dragoons, approached the villages of Ourkousta, and Ouzenbasehik ; the enemy, who occupied Oarkousta and Bagha, with three squadrons, witbrew towards their camp on the left bank of the Tebet naya, where there ap peared to be about 4,000 to 5,000 men of infantry and cavalry. On the 4th (16th) they re-occupied the last mentioned villages.

THE BOMBARDMENT OF GENITCHI. The In valide Busse says— " The report which accompanied the journal of opera tions contains later details of the hostilities against Ge• nitchi from the 22d to the 27th June (4th to 9th July). " On the morning of the 221 of June (4th of July) a French steamer arrived before Genitchi, and with a gun boat, opened a heavy fire against the town, which lasted from 10 in the morning till 2 p.m. In the evening they were jOined by a corvette. During the night these vessels did not fire, but on the 23d of June (sth of July), at 3.30 a.m., they commenced bombarding the town, firing by preference against the building containing the corps de garde and against the reserve placed upon the incline which leads From the town to the port. At noon a screw frigate appeared at sea, about 10 versts off Genitschi. On a signal given by her, the steamer and corvette ceased firing, joined her, and about 3 p.m. they disappeared in company, leaving only the gun-boat before the town, which did not fire during the day, but which fired rockets at night and a shell which broke the cable Of the ferry boat. During the bombardment we had no men killed, the troops remained in the town, and the passage of salt waggons which had remained at the other side of the strait was happily effected during the night. "On the 24th of June (6th of July), at 3 p.m., a squadron was signalled out at sea, steering towards the town, consisting of two screw-frigates, two steamers, two screw-brigs, and two steam bratzers (small boats for land ing troops). Prince Labanoff, in command of the troops at Genitchi, ordered those in the town to take up a po sition on' the beach, and ordered five sloops from 2 , ...z0ff to cast anchor opposite the entrance to the Putrid Sea. " On the evening of the same day two gun-boats with guns of heavy calibre joined those already before the town. The rest of the squadron remained in line at a distance of about ten: versts from the post •ccupying the space between the Spit to the island of Birutchevsky. All these arrangements made Prince Labanoff sue pose that the enemy intended effecting a land ing, or to force the entrance of the Sivasch (Putrid Sea), through the Tchongar Straits. During the whole of the next day, 25th of June (7th of July), two gun-boats and a French steamer bombarded Ge nitchi, firing by preference on the finest houses of the place. The enemy, it seeing, had no concerted plan, for as yet only two or three vessels had approached the town ; the number of those at sea varied at different times of the day. I"During the night between the 26th and 27th of June (Bth to 9th July) the gun-boats and the steamer opened a very heavy fire ; shot and shell fell into the Slobodka, whore the troops were quartered. On the 27th (9th of July), at noon, one of the gun-boats went up the coast where the Slobodka is situate, and baying reached the Cape which closes the gulf of Genitchi, she fired a shell, which burst and wounded a soldier of the 6th reserve battalion of the Moscow Regiment. " At 9 p.m. Prince Labanoff Rostovely was informed that an enemy's boat . was pulling towards the Slobodka, probably with the intention of setting fire to it, but the fire of our infantry, supported by Cossacks, stopped the boat at about 100 yards from the slicre and compelled it to return. The gun-boats then opened a heavy fire, which lasted for three hours and threw rockets during the night, which set fire to the town in two three places, but it was soon got under. During this time the enemy's vessels were occupied destroying the farm houses near the coast, and the fisheries of the island of Birutechevsky. " To reinforce the detachment occupying Genitchi, Aide-de-Camp General Prince Goeschakoff has thought it indispensable to send a considerable number of troops there, under Lieutenant General Ryjoff. To this de tachment are added Cossacks of the Sea of Azoff, under Colonel Brakovitch, troops known for their bravery and daring as sailors. "It is indispensable to add, in conclusion, that the steamers which showed themselves on the 21st of June (3d of July) before Berdiausk, remained there about 24 hours, and then left for Kertch, without having done any additional harm to the town." The Trieste Gazette, of the 28th ult., says : " Some alarm has been excited by the fact that a di sease very closely resembling the plague has recently broken out in the neighbourhood of Valona, in Turkish Albania. The maritime inspector of Dal matia immediately subjected all arrivals on the coast of that country from Albania to quarantine regulations. The Austrian government has just extended this measure to all other parts of its coast, and Dr. Maganza, attached to the Lazaretto of this place, has been sent into Albania to study the com plaint, and report to the government on it." A letter from Aleppo states that the commerce of that place, instead of being injured by the events going on in the Ottoman empire, has been improved by it, as a great part of the commercial relations which Mesopotamia and Kurdistan for merly kept up with the Black Sea are now directed towards Aleppo. Several of the journals have mentioned the death Of the ex-Prince of Wallachia, Alexandre Ghika. It appears that it is not he who has expired, * but an ex• Minister of Finance of Wallachia of the same name, and a distant relative of the ex-Hospodar. Aletter from Montenegro, in the German Journal of Frankfort, states that Prince Daniel() has ob tained leave from the Court of St. Petersburg that six young Montenegrins shall be received gratui tously into the military institutions of that city. In con3equence six youths were on the point of setting out for the Russian capital, and amongst them was the son of his brother Mirka, President of the Senate, and a son of his sister. A seizure of arms was effected on the 28th at Recco, on the coast of La Specia, by the police of Genoa, it having been ascertained that a fresh invasion of refugees was contemplated. --- A letter from Milan of the 28th ult., in the Opinione of Turin, says :—" Notwithstanding all official assertions to the contrary, the Austrian army of Italy is being considerably increased. There are 44,000 men in Lombardy, and more than that number in the Venetian provinces.
