In consequence of the abolition of the Stamp Duty on Newspapers the public in all large cities and towns to which parcels are forwarded by the News-Agents, The Sun, which formerly cost Fivepence-half penny for the Latest Edition, containing Parliamentary Debates of the same even ing, together with the List of Army and Navy Promotions in the London Gazette, with Official Despatches from the Seat of War, the Latest Sporting, and all other Commercial News, List of Bankrupts, Ste., ,kc., can now be had for Fourpence, being a saving of nearly one-third. Hitherto the price of the paper was nomi nally Fivepence, but all Late Editions posted after six o'clock were charged a fee of One Halfpenny by the Post-office, which made the price to the Subscriber Fivepence-Halfpenny. This charge must still be made to those in remote places unless the Postmaster-General have the .nagnanimity to forego such a paltry source of revenue. Bun-office, 112, Strand, London, 9th July, 1855. Arr.' • \ VrTj •::1„11AY -1 ;V s , et"' LONDON, FRIDAY, AUGUST 10, 1856. Russia is most admirably served. She enlists aid from every quarter, and finds. recruits even in the ranks of her professed adversaries. Austria condemned her, and now protects her Polish fron tier and augments her Crimean army. Mr. GLAD STONE attacked her at Sebastopol, and now vilifies his countrymen for adhering t o hi s policy. Lord Jowl. was furious against her " insatiable ambi tion," and went to Vienna to do diplomatic battle with Prince GORTSCHAROFF, but fi n i s h ed by taking his arm, and taking in his proposals through the Austrian go-between. The m an . .ehester men, of course, from the time of the Quaker mission to NICHOLAS, were fast friends t o :the policy of allowing Russia to swallow all Europe at what rate she pleased ; but who would have ,expected Mr. COLLETT, at a meeting called to ad vocate the formation of a Polish Legion, to do .Russian work as zealously as if he were paid for it ? As to 'Mr. GEORGE THOMPSON abetting the expulsion of the Chairman, installing himself, 'and bringing to a successful conclusion the coup de main in favour of ' Russia; this was too bad. Be, as a professed Liberal, ought to be ashamed of turningloturer for Russia, and supplanting English noblemen whnn nVering so nobly the Ci country. We ,woultl go as far as any in condemning the a•I;l - arthy foreign pt.,lizy of Lord PALMLIISTON iu 1831. We are now smarting for its baseness. Lord PALMERSTON has always bad a Tory heart. Fond of showing his consequence by bearding in the small way the Continental despots, we yet do not believe he ever had any hearty sympathy with the rights of the nations, or probably any sympathy at all. Poland and Hungary in his hands and those of Lord JOHN RUSSELL, have been disgracefully and cruelly disappointed. Two statesmen more selfishly devoted to• their order, and to the dynasties—dynasties fitter for Pandemonium than for this fair earth—have never lived. Let them be condemned. But what we complain of, as worse than even the " nefarious combination," is, that liberals and friends of Poland should sell the cause of Poland under professions of love to her. All right enough to censure aristocratic wickedness in 1831 and 1848, but it was surely all wrong to make that a means for the same wickedness to triumph again in 1855. The meeting might have begun a move ment which should end in forcing a Polish Legion, and the cause of Poland itself, on our Govern ment. Mr. CoLLETT and his coadjutors acted over again the factiousness of the Tory-paid Chartists, who upset every meeting, convened to get them cheap bread, by clamouring for the five points of the Charter. We fear Lord PALMERSTON is but too well pleased at the generalship of his censurers. A vote of no confidence from a howling, hooting mob, may suit him better than an honest, busi nesslike, and telling meeting, adopting well-con sidered resolutions in favour of a Polish Legion and Polish independence. The Earl of HARRINGTON, Lord EBRINGTON, and Sir ROBERT PEEL spoke well. The two latter moved a resolution, which assuredly all true friends of Poland must have wish to pass, and to which censure of Lord PALMERSTON was surely no relevant amendment—indeed no amendment at all ; the proper business of the meeting being Poland, not PALMERSTON. Which of our readers would not have held up both handsfor the following resolution, as the appropriate one for commencing such a meeting :—" That it will afford the best security for the preservation of the balance of power in Europe, and the protection of its liber ties, that Poland should be restored as a separate and independent State—a measure the necessity of which has been recognised by most of the great Conservative statesmen of Europe." No doubt Le Nord and the Invalide Busse will very quickly publish to all Europe that a meeting in favour of Poland broke up in a row, and that, instead of passing the above resolution, it merely censured the English Prime Minister, and declared him unworthy of confidence. Never was there a more striking exemplification of doing the right thing at the wrong time. What with the postponement of the first meeting, and the breaking up of this, we must own that it is difficult not to suspect foul play, and treachery in the back ground. The public verdict, doubtless, is " Wilful Rug sianism against some person or persons—(un known?)" Notwithstanding the zeal of Messrs. COLLETT and THOMPSON in the Russian service, we trust they will not be able to frustrate the object for which the meeting was called. The Polish Legion i will, it is to be hoped, be formed in spite of them. It would be a beginning, which might lead on to the re-constitution of the Polish nation also. Lord EBRINGTON well observed that just now the question is not so much what we can do for the Poles, as what they can do for us. We need them to the full as much as they need the Allies. We need the aid of twenty millions of people, and of 200,000 soldiers subtracted from the Russian service, and brought over to ours. We need an ally which, unlike Austria, hates the Russian despot, and which, reversing her conduct, would detain Russian troops from the theatre of war instead of sending ' them to it. Poland is the noble compensation offered us by PROVIDENCE for the perfidious Haps burgs—the one condition of speedy success and of permanent security. Dare our statesmen trifle longer with English treasure and blood, and breast English opinion much longer to please all the Coburgs and Hapsburgs and other despots of Europe, or even to please President POLE and his Southerners themselves ? Notwithstanding the energetic opposition offered to its progress, the Limited Liability Bill has passed through committee, and is appointed to be read a third time on Monday. We hope; and believe, that this simple instalment of justice, having escaped the shoals and quicksands by which it was surrounded, having been steered past the " Scylla" of the standing order and the "Charybdis" of the select committee may now be considered as safe from further danger, and virtually carried. Some amendments were ac cepted by the Government rather from the desire to avoid a division than any notion that they would prove real ameliorations—but, the most important of all, relating to the amount of capital and shares, and that which proposed a public audit similar to that some time since attempted to be forced ou the railway interest, were b rejected. There is, therefore, nothing calculated to produce a collision between the hereditary and represen ta te branches of th e L eg i s l a t ure , or to p r ev en t much-required measure from receiving the Royal Assent on Tuesday next. Their Lordships have exhibited sound sense and judicious patriotism in receiving the present measure at so advanced a p and pardoning th e slight to of the t session, t ' heiramatrpropre evinced by according so brief a period to a mea sure of such vast i m p ortance to the community. It is the first recognition of the great principle of free trade in money, that every man should be I permitted to invest his capital as he thinks proper, without being liable to unlimited "pains and penalties," to the chances of not only being his property of ev er y ki nd, but of stripped of all being cast into prison and made a bankrupt or insolvent, because be had invested a portion of his funds in an unfortunate or injudicious specula tion—a virtual prohibition, the real effect being to prevent any such investments, and to force men who were not contented with the scanty in terest obtainable in savings banks, or in the public funds, into the bubble schemes, of which so many struggled into existence notwithstanding the existing.difficulties. One of the main objections to th,coemmp n, , measure was that it would produce considerable , and prevent small traders from being enabled to exercise a monopoly in their respective districts, as has hith er t o b een th e case . A N o ble Lord, for whose opinion we entertain unfeigned respect, instanced the cases of the butcher or baker, " who, trading with limited capital and unlimited esstablished next door to him a butcher's or liabi ba t k y Bavfhop,e , r's supported by the subscribed capital of all his neighbours, and underselling him by the sacrifices which a li mited liability would ena ble the association to make." We gladly ac cept the issue which th© Noble and Learned Lord bas tendered,. and are contented to Jest the entire case ot s i tlie very po - ini wfiieh he has selected. Le'.; us, thOu; • look to its . effect (dn t ie butcliers anr ar.d afse on 4 _11'3 community at lar,; first having respectfully beard his LDrdship's statement, we shall call "paterfamilias," the man with a (very) limited income, and as he conceives an almost unlimited family, the unfortunate indi vidual who, looking to the number of mouths he has to fill, trembles at the expenditure of an un necessary farthing, and is therefore by no means contented to pay 2d. per lb. for his meat and ld. per lb. for his loaf more than a remunerative price, in order that the blue-frocked and white visaged gentry may obtain exorbitant profits, or that the grocer may be enabled to despise any re monstrances at the adulterations in which it is his pleasure to indulge. The unfortunate citizen who, having given hostages to fortune in the shape of a blooming wife and numerous family, is entitled to claim that honourable title, ought to be happy, and would be so but for the magnitude of his weekly bills, which, in one way or the other, whether from overcharge or adulteration, are from 2(3' to 25 per cent. more than they ought to be. He looks to his butcher's bill, and he finds the leg of mutton charged 9d. per lb., while the inferior parts are proportionately higher ; his loaf is 101 or perhaps 11d., and looking at the wholesale prices at Newgate-market or Mark-lane, he per ceives that he is scandalously overcharged, but that he has no remedy, while the parties can tell him to go elsewhere, well knowing that he cannot be served on better terms from the combination of the neighbouring tradesmen. Again, when asking, if not for prime old mocha or good mountain, he obtains what is not even coffee or pure chicory, can we wonder if he complains of the atrocious system that prevents him from ob taining fair value for his money ? The fair dealer need not dread competition. He knows that there are advantages to be derived from unity of management and diligent attention to his own business, with which no company under the direction of paid servants can success fully compete. If he doubt the fact, let him try the experiment of neglecting his business for a single week, and leaving it even to the best dis posed clerks. The master's eye is known to be woith a " mint of gold." Every fair trader will find that so long as he merits the confidence of his neighbours he will have nothing to fear from joint-stock competition. When he does not, it is for the public interest that he should no longer be encouraged in setting public opinion at defi ance, by the concession of a virtual monopoly, or, in other words, the power of plundering his neigh. bouts with impunity. The important topic last night brought before the House of Commons by Captain SCOBELL is one that must speedily receive the attentive considera tion of a Government, bound no less by its own professions and promises than by the unanimous resolution of the House of Commons, to the advancement of administrative reform and to obtain the exertions of the best men in every department of the public service. Those who acknowledge the propriety of getting the right men into the right places can scarcely object to an inquiry into the system of promotion and patron age in the Navy, which is so bad that many men have supposed it might be improved by the intro duction of the " purchase system" (!) It is diffi cult to conceive a greater slight or reproach that could be offered than that the regulations which have been so universally complained of, and which are doomed to an early extinction, are even bet ter than the rules by which promotions are made in the ,sister service. But so it is ! Despite the abominable system of venality, there is a better prospect for unaided merit in the Army than in the Navy. A deplorable fact, probably arising from the political character of the source whence promotion or even employment can alone be so licited. The Honourable and Gallant Member, who so clearly and efficiently explained the imperative necessity for an alteration in the system, only asked for a select committee. Inquiry was all be demanded. Inquiry—which might lead to very important results, and which, at all events, could do no harm. It was obvious that no progress could be made with the investigation before the re-assem bling of Parliament. But the fact that the committee had been granted would stimulate the Govern. ment to decide, during the recess, on the nature of the required modifications and alterations, and possibly by being prepared with practical mea sures to forestall the inquiry' and dispense with its necessity. We fear, however, from the nature of the speech of Sir CHARLES WOOD, as well as from his known character and devotion to the •cause of red-tapism, that we cannot look ,for any valuable reform so long as he remains at the head of the Board as political First Lord. Public opinion must therefore be directed to the point, and the " pressure from without," which has generally proved so effectual, brought into ope , ration. rte teterrinia causa mali, the fertile source of evil with regard to the navy, has been the politi cal character of those to whom patronage has been entrusted, and which has consequently rendered promotion not the reward of merit, but of family or political influence. The entire constitution of the Board is objectionable, and was protested against under very remarkable circumstances by one of its leading members, Sir GEORGE COCKBURN, who was for many years First Naval Lord, and who yet when dying left a paper under his pillow, or, as others assert, locked up with his will, ex plaining the causes of the inefficiency of the Board, and an earnest recommendation for its abolition. . " Melius est petere fontes quant sectari rivulos." It is better to strike at the fountain and origin of all these acknowledged evils than to hunt up the details. The first point to be aimed at is the Board itself, which, according to the suggestion of Sir G. COCKiiIIRN, should be forthwith abolished, and the management of the navy transferred to a naval officer, thoroughly conversant with the mat ters which he is authorised to control, and capa ble of judging of the qualifications of the officeze in employment and looking for promotion. He may be assisted by a council. But it is of vast importance that none of the persons selected should be chosen for politi cal consideration, or that they should be in a e i n t y degree h er House of influenced Parliament. by the state Theof They eh e p u a l r d ti h e e s in e completely exempted from all such influences as the judges of the land —whose conduct is beyond reproach. There might be a political secretary to manage accounts and regulate expen diture ; but those responsible for the efficiency of the fleet should be placed, so far as practicable, beyond the suspicion of partiality. This is the first and the indispensable step—others naturally follow, to which we shall direct attention on some future opportunity. Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent left Frog. more )esterday, for Osborne, on a visit to her Majesty. Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Gloucester con tinues, we are glad to learn, in good health. T}l SUN, LONDON; FRIDAY EVENING, AuGusr 10, 1855, T fr c-;1."1 ,-, TRIESTE, THURSDAY.

The Arago's mails and passengers will reach by Isle of Wight steam-boat about mid-day. FRANCE. PARIS, THURSDAY EVENING. The following private telegraphic despatches have been received to-day TRIESTE, Bth, Evening.—A packet has just ar rived bringing accounts from Constantinople to the 30th. The French hospitals in that city had re ceived orders to prepare 6,000 beds. The inten tion manifested by Omer Pacha to go and take the command of the army of Asia has not been agreed to by the Porte. Sherif Pacha has left in the hands of the Russians all the provisions which had been collected on the road from Kars to Erzeroum. Kars has baen again invested by the Russians, who hope to gain possession of it as it is only pro visioned for 20 days. The Porte has given up the idea of recruiting soldiers among the Rayahs." " VIENNA, Bth, Evening.—The accounts which have been received here from Sebastopol announce that preparations were being made on both sides for some important affair." The Patric says that private despatches have reached Paris, dated the 4th, to the effect that the Allied fleets were about to operate against Revel ; but no later despatch confirms this statement. Prince Napoleon yesterday visited in the Exhi bition 'Palace the machinery in the gallery on the Quai de Billy. He was attended, as usual, by several members of the Imperial Commission, and by some of the foreign commissioners, and members of the International Jury. The Prince examined with the greatest attention all the various machi nery which was at work for planing, sawing, boring, morticing, and other operations ; in fact, machines for almost every kind of work. Not farther back than 1815 not a single machine of the kind was known in France. The hammers of different kinds, worked by steam, attracted, above all, the Prince's attention, particularly that for beating gold leaf, which works with a regularity and brings the gold to a thinness almost incredible. The sawing machines were also the object of great admiration, from the precision and rapidity of their movements. The Prince, before terminat ing his examination, repeated what he had before recommended, that a plentiful supply of steam should always be at command, in order that none of the machinery should be found at fault. The Moniteur publishes four decrees. The first opens to the . Minister of War an extraordinary credit of 300,000 fr., the estimated amount of the expense of the fete of the 15th August, to be divided among the families of the killed in the army of the East ; the second orders that leave of absence to consular or vice-consular agents and dragomans shall for the future be granted by the Minister of Foreign Affairs ; the third sanctions the formation of the Water Company of Havre, and approves of its statutes ; and the fourth approves of the forma tion of the company formed at Havre, under the name of Compagnie des Paquebots d Vapeur du Finistere. A letter from Athens of the 31st ult., in the Moniteur, says " The Chamber of Deputies bas adopted the bill La the construction of a railway from the Pirmus to Athens."

A letter from Constantinople of the 30th, in the Courrier de Marseille, says— " The Ottoman fleet is to be completely disarmed, with the exception of the steamers. This decision has been come to from economy. All these vessels, except the Mechrilie, the Pecki Becan, an Egyptian frigate, a Tuni sian corvette, and two smaller vessels, are at present in the Rack Sea. Yesterday took place the distribution of prizes at the village of Bebek, founded some years ago by M. Le Leu, for the EUrop , .ans of Pera. When Prince Napoleon was in the East he gave frequent marks of interest to this establishment. Yesterday the court-yard of the college vt as gaily drelsed out with flags sent by the seamen of the Belle Poule ; and among the persons present were M. Thouvenel, Gen. Larchey, Captain Chais , neau, of the frigate just mentioned, and a number of French officers. Mehemet Ali Pacha and Mustapha Pacha sent each one of his household, to mark the interest they take in the establishment. A great number of French and Turkish ladies were present. The pupils delivered a number of speeches and declama tions with excellent emphasis and discretion, and played a little Italian comedy with considerable humour. The band of the 35th regiment of the line played several pieces during the proceedings, which passed off most agreeably." A letter from Jerusalem of the 23d ult. confirms the intelligence that the disturbances in the moun tains of Sichem, which at one time menaced all Pa lestine, Ind been put down by the energy and tact of Kiamil Pacha, the governor of the province. The Christian communities of the Holy City were so grateful for this functionary's good government that they had signed an address to the Sultan, thanking him for having nominated him. The 'Dacha; when the letter left, was about to march from Jerusalem with the troops which he had col lected, to repress the disturbances in the province of Hebron got up by Abd-er-Rhaman. Sir Moses Montefiori had arrived in Jerusalem with, it was supposed, firmans authorising the foundation of several religious establishments, and even a syna gogue for the Jews. RUSSIA. THE WAR IN ASIA. We have received the St. Petersburg journals of the 2d of August. The Invalide Russe publishes the following re port from Aide-de-Camp General Mouravioff of the operations in Asia. It is dated camp near the vil lage of Kni-Keui, 29th of June (11th of July) : " On the 26th of June (Bth of July) I announced that, returning from Saghanloug, on Kars, I had left on the 22d (4th) on the western incline of that chain of mountains a flying detachment, under Colonel Prince Dondoukoff-Korsakoff, of the Prince of Wnrtemberg Dragoons. " Thanks to the talent and excellent arrange ments of that worthy superior officer, his detach ment completely attained its object, and had two successful affairs. _ _ "On the 24th of June (6th of July) a division of Bashi-Bazouks, 200 strong, appeared in front of the entrenchment abandoned by the Turks at the pass near Bardous, where our detachment then was. . " Colonel Prince Dondoukoff-Korsakoff imme diately sent ai:ainst them a detachment of moun tain militia and of Kurds, who, by a vigorous charge dispersed the enemy, killed two men, captured 24 horses, and carried off 39 head of fine cattle, be longing to the Kurdish tribe of Souvadalli, under Turkisa rule ; one of the militiamen was wounded in this rencontre. " In the night between the 25th and 26th of June (7th and Bth of July), being near Midjing hert, and learning that another division of Bashi- Bazouks, 150 to 200 strong, sent by Vely Pasha from Kerpi-Keuv, was bivouacking in the neigh bourhood, Prince Dondoukoff attacked them sud denly at daybreak, with two sotnias of mountain militia and a sotnia of Cossacks of the line. After aShort resistance the enemy wascompletely routed, leaving about 40 dead upon the ground, among theprisoners considerable booty are made. ~Aln and g a another cow 9a whom were th e commander of t h e sotn i a and a standard bea rer . M oreover 31 prisoners were cap tured,mander of a sotnia, a sithaltern officer, and the secretary of Vely-Mahniond, Pasha of Erzeronin. We lost tern officer, the c,.orninancler of the sotnia of Kabarda killed, lailiziainen. Wounded, and five horses killed. Frula the statement of the c Iptur,;j it appears that these Bashi-Ilazouks formed the escort of the functionaries sent by Vely Pasha to inspect the storehouses cf Anatolia, destroyed by us in our march beyond the Saghanloug between the 10th and 22d June (Ist to 4th July). The Turkish authorities estimate their losses at a much higher figure than that given in my previous reports. According to their calculation we have destroyed or carried away from Bardous to Karavurghan 18,000 sa mara, equivalent to 36,000 tchetwerts of different sorts of grain, without counting what Atijor- General Sousloff carried away. In general the operations of our flying detachment have consider ably increased the strong impression made by the sudden appearance of the main body of our forces at 100 verstes to the rear of Kars. The elders of numerous villages have come to tender their sub mission, anticipating our reappearance beyond the Saghanloug. Yesterday, the flying detachment of Prince Dondoukoff-Korsakoff rejoined the main camp, to recruit, take in provisions, and place the sick and prisoners. "The main body of our forces remaining en camped near Koni-Keui has continued to command the Erzeroum road, by the detached positions of Major Baklanoff's column, near the village of Tckme. Our patrols keep a sharp look out, and examine every one they meet, even single indi viduals ; thus, on the 25th of June (7th of July), a horse patrol of 10 Cossacks of the line, and half a sotnia.of the Karabak regiment, observing seven Turks on the right of the road, gave chase and captured three with their horses; the others con cealed themselves in the village. "On the 28th of June (10th of July) Major- General Baklanoff, whose column had been rein forced the day before by fresh troops, accompanied by Colonel Roudanovsky, Head Quartermaster of Corps of Operations, made a reconnaissance of the fortifications of Kars, situate on the left bank of the Kars-tchai, and which had not yet been ex amined. _ _ _ " With this object, General Baklanoff crossed the Kars-teliai with a portion of his detachment and climbed the heights of Tchakhmakh. In ap proaching the fortress he came upon a convoy of arabas laden with hay, returning under an escort of Bashi-Bazouks. On beholding our troops the latter fled, and the whole convoy, consisting of 30 arabas, with 45 oxen and four horses, fell into our hands ; 27 Bashi-Bazouks and drivers were made prisoners. " During the two hours which were required to examine the fortifications of the place and to take a p'an of the localities the garrison of Kars was in the greatest agitation ; a portion of the troops, to the number of seven battalions of infantry, two regiments of regular cavalry, with Bashi-Bazouks, actually left the entrenchments, but remained within cover of the guns of the fortress, and did not even attempt to harass our retreat, when General Baklanoff returned to camp after making his reconnaissance. The Bashi-Bazouks alone had a skirmish with our Cossacks, with no other result than one horse killed. " On the same day I received the following re port from Lient.-General Kovalevsky of the defeat on the 234 of June (sth of July), of a •ietachment of the en ..my's cavalry in the district of Akhal kalaki. "The Mushir of the army of Anatolia, desirous of obtaining provisions and live stock for the gar • rison of Kars, had t , eut a strongdivision of cavalry into the Sludjak of Tchaldyr more than 1,000 strong, under the command of one Mtdjar Pasha, and under the guidance of two English officers ; this division was ordered to drive back our cavalry outposts, and collect grain and cattle for the gar rison. " Colonel Prince O:•belian, Colonel of the 3d Regiment of Mussulinan Cavalry, in commard of these frontier posts, having been informed of the movements of the enemy's cavalry, assembled the whole of his regiment near the village of Souldy, two sotnias of the 2d Regiment of the Don Cos sacks, and the 2d company (4 . the Wilna Chassenrs, and with these troops took up a position on the high ground in front of the village. " On the 23d of June (sth of July), at 8 a.m., the enemy's cavalry approached the position occu pied by our troop, and, dividing into four columns, charged in front with three columns, whilst the fourth and strongest column attacked our flank. " Prince Orbelian had the Chasseurs in his cen tre, on his right flank two sotnias and a half of the 3d Regiment of Mussulman cavalry, on his left flank the Cossacks, and the Ist sotnia of the Mus sulinan cavalry as a reserve. Receiving with a warm fire the columns that charged in front, Prince Orbelian sent the Cossacks and the sotnia of re serve against the enemy, who had turned our left flank. The Turkish column which had performed that movement, being four times superior in Lumber to our troops, charged them resolutely • but thanks to the intrepidity of the Cossacks, and to the exemplary courage and skill of the Sotuik Samsonoff, the column was ultimately repulsed, after having returned two or three times to the charge. Thus repulsed the Turks occupied some very uneven ground, from which they opened a sharp fusillade. Sotnik Samsonoff then ordered a portion of his Cossacks and militiamen to dismount, drove the 'enemy from their ambuscades, and then ° makine- his men remount, charged the urks lance in rest. Prince OtbAian, who had meantime suc ceeded in repelling two or three attacks, in Ills turn took the offensive. The enemy, driven back finally on all sides, fled in disorder, was pursued for eight verstes, and completely routed. " Our loss in this affair was small, consisting of two officers and seven men of the 3d Mussulman Regiment wounded, and five Cossacks of the -Don wounded, making a total of two officers and 12 men wounded. According to the statement of spies, and from other sources, the Turks lost 70 men killed and 100 wounded. We also made 14 pri soners, and took a flag." The Invalide Russe also publishes a report from Prince Gortschakoff up to the 22d July, but it dues not contain any details of interest. The Governor of St.Petersbur„o- announces under date of 31st of July that, on the 30th, the allied squadron in the Gulf of Finland was quietly'at anchor in its former position, and enveloped. in a dense fog. A letter from Odessa, gives the following curious order of the day, issued by General Gortsehakoff " In the time of the eadiest wars of the Russians, the archpriests and other ecclesiastics of the Orthodox Church gave their benedieto ns to the troops who were armed for the defence of the country. The benediction, which called for the presence of the sacred images in he midst of our regiments, was the source of all our suc cesses against the enemy of the cowitry. Thus the sacred and miraculous image of the Holy Virgin, the Mother of God, from Smolensko, gave by its presence in the array a series of victories to our arms, and led our soldiers from Moscow to Parts. Now that all our countrymen pray with fervour for us, his Eminence the Metropolite Philarete de Kijeff, after the example of ancient times, basing blessed the troops con tiaded to my command, by taking from the catacombs of Kijeff the sacred and miraculous image which represents the ascension of the Mother of God, our celestial inter cessor, and which in bygone times was conferred by the Mother of God on that temple as a pledge of the eter nal protection which is granted to Orthodox Russia. By a particular disposition of God, the arrival of the sacred image took place simultaneously with that of his High Eminence Innokenti, Archbishop of Khersou and Taurida, whom the dangers of war have not prevented from visiting his flock, and giving his benediction to the troops who defend Sebastopol with so much heroism. On the Bth of this month his Eminence, in the besieged city, while the enemy's cannon were roar ing, blessed the troops of the garrison and of the forts ; he blessed them with the sacred image of St. Mito phan, and in eloquent words promised them fresh suc cesses and victory. In the firm conviction, that the pre sent made to the city of Sebastopol reproduces the sacred and miraculous picture of the ascension of the Mother of God which is in the catacombs of Kijeff, and that the benedictions of our archpriests will be for us the pledge of fresh triumphs, let us add to our strength, valiant comrades, by the idea that our cause is just, and that the Emperor and the country found on your heroism and your inflexibility a well-justified hope. " Prince GORTSCIIAXOFF II." The above order of the day was read on the 22d ult. to the garrison of the Northern Fort, and after wards to all the troops who occupy the south of Sebastopol. A letter from Vienna, in the Breslau Gazette, says :—" It is pretended in a Berlin journal that conferences have been commenced between Count Buol and the Ambassadors of France and Turkey upon the fourth point of guarantee. This news is inexact. There merely exists at Constan tinople a commission composed of the Ambassadors of the, Western Powers, of the Austrian Inter nuncio, and of an Ottoman Minister, which is charged with the drawing up of propositions con cerning the reforms of which the situation of the Christians in Turkey is susceptible. The result of the labours of this commission is to be communi cated to the respective Courts, and will constitute the basis of subsequent negotiations with Russia." A letter from Warsaw of the 4th states that the fete of the Empress was celebrated there on the previous day, the city being illuminated in the evening. Count Esterhazy, the Austrian Ambassa dor at St. Petersburg, and Councillor Tengoborski , attached to th e Chancellery of the Empire, had arrived there on particular mission 9. General Prince Bebutoff had left Warsaw for lialischy. DESTRUCTION OF FLIES. TO LIE EDIT OF THE Si7l; PAils, itn Augmt, 1555 17:1 ; —It1 a rocci' ;;.7 , :: ! .7-:•r of 3 , 011 r 51;t1ric.;,1 a Fter from your correspondent at Sebastopol. complain ing of the great annoyance experienced in the camp from the multitude of flies. I am induced to address a few lines to him through your paper, pointing out an easy and efficacious remedy for that evil, one which I have tried with never-failing success. Quassia (called in Jamaica the bitter ash), cut into thin slices and boiled in water (about one or two ounces), and when cold, strained, and placed in plates on a table or other place where the flies frequent—they will drink of it until they beconno dead drunk, and should then be taken nut, thrown on the ground and trod upon. Other wise I have left a plate full of them at night an , l found that by the morning they had crawled out, and were on the table or floor. Last year I was in a- part of France where flies were very troublesome, and did not succeed with the quassia in taking them. This struck me as so singular that I tasted the water and the root, neither of which were bitter. It is necessary that it should be so to answer the purpose. Perhaps what was sold to me then was not quassia, and this is the exception to a trial of several years. I would also recommend another adjunct. Bird lime is also very efficacious in taking them. It should be warmed by a fire, to dissolve it to a liquid state, and a little oil mixed with it, and spread on a large sheet of paper very thin (the bird lime), and put up any where that they frequent. When the paper is covered with them it must be replaced with another. The stuff must be spread with an old knife kept for the purpose. At one of the principal hotels at Vienna I recollect seeing a sheet of paper rolled on a piece of wood and placed upright spread with bird lime, and this was so successful as to require changing during the day. I hope you will give publicity to this for the sake of our poor countrymen in the Crimea, and that the Go vernment will let the bird lime be sent out as soon as possible, and likewise quassia, if not in abundance at the hospitals, being excellent in typhus or remittent fevers, and better than Peruvian bark, when mixed with a small quantity of sulphate of zinc, as stated in medical works. I offer no apology for trespassing upon your time for the subject of this communication.—l have the honour to be, Sir, your obedient humble servant, E. WILLIAMS. TO THE EDITOR OF THE BUN. Paris, 9th Aug., 1855. Six,—Since my letter of the 7th inst., on the subject of destroying flies by quassia, I have tried it again here, where they are not numerous or vicious. I did not suc ceed well with the experiment of yesterday, but this morning I put some coarse brown sugar with the liquid and moistened the rims with the mixture, so as to at tract them, and found the plan very efficacious. In Italy, and countries where the flies inflict wounds such as is described by your correspondent, at, or before the camp of Sebastopol, there would be no occasion to mix sugar with the quassia liquid, although it might be attended with better success.—l have the honour to be, air, your obedient humble servant, E. WILLIAMS. ROYAL ITALIAN OPERA. Last evening, being the last night of the season, the Etoile du Nord was performed. After the opera, which went off with the usual eclat, " God Save the Queen" was sung by the whole vocal strength of the theatre. The solo verses were given by Mdile. Bosio. Marai, and Formes, and the immense body of choral and orche6tral harmony had a superb effect. Indeed ‘se have never heard our National Anthem—that won derful combination of simplicity and grandeur—more magnificently sung. During its performance the aspect of the house—the whole audience (one of the most crowded of the season) standing—was remarkably bril liant and striking. There is yet to be another performance of the Etoile du Nord. This most attractive opera is to be repeated to-morros evening for the benefit of the respectable stage.mauager, Mr. Harris. DRURY-LANE THEATRE. Mademoiselle Rachel appeared last night, at this theatre, in the character of Athalie. in Racine's tragedy. The great actress selected the second aci of the drama, for the purpose of exhibiting her marvellous powers of declamation. Perhaps, after all, declamation is Rachel's great characteristic. The perfect command tbat she exercises over her voice, the strange richness of the tones, are of themselves sufficient to create an impres sion that can never be forgotten. As a display of ora tory, Madlle. Rachel's Athalie is perfect. The house was crowded, and the audience test►fied the greatest enthusiasm during the performance. ASTLEY'S AMPHITHEATRE. The success of Byron's Mazeppa has exceeded the pro prietor's most sanguine expect , ttions. Each night the theatre is crowded. The impression made by this re vival is far beyond any former precedent. The enter prising lessee, Mr. William Cooke, continues to produce most extraordinary attractions in the circle, in addition to which, the celebrated Mr. George Wild and Miss Fanny Williams have been engaged, and are received most gloriously every evening. Their efforts are de serving the applause they each evening receive. Great preparations, we understand, are making for an extra ordinary drama, which will be produced when the ex cit...,meut diminishes to witness Mazcppa. THE LLIIITED LIABILITY BILL.

A statement on the arrival o f th e last West India mail that yellow fever was prevalent both on shore and among the shipping at St. Thomas's, and that many officers of the Royal Mail Company's steam-ships lying at that port had died of it, is believed to be inaccurate. The company say that the last packet brought no such intelligence, all their vessels being reported in healthy condition. NORTH OF EUROPE STEAM NAVIGATION COMPANY.— At a meeting of this company, 'yesterday, Sir S. M. Peto presiding, an interim dividend, at the rate of 8 per cent. per annum, was declared, and the statement made was received as favourable. It was mentioned, as illus trating the rapid progress of the undertaking, that the gross receiuts of the first half of 1854 were 47,6371., and of the second half 75,4651., while for the first six months of the present year they reached 103,4491. The fleet has been increased, and six vessels out of twenty are at present employed in the Government transport service. The dividend will be paid upon the capital subscribed of 151. per share, and no fur - her increase is intended without the special sanction of the proprietors With the view of securing the advantages to be obtained by limited liability, the provisions of the new act, im mediately it becomes law, will be applied to the com pany. In answer to questions it was stated that the divi dend will not be payable free from income tax. With re .fard to insurance, arrangements have been made in the wijustment of accounts for any loss or casualty that may arise in the regular trade of the company, while for those vessels which have gone to the Baltic or the Crimea special risks have been opened. It wa-i announced in the course of the proceedinizs that Lord Yarborough, who is the chairman of the company, wished to retire, on the ground of ill health ; but, with the hope of his perfect recovery, a unanimous desire was expressed for him to retain his post. A suggestion was made that the present would be a fitting opportunity for ad justing the allowance of the director., but it was even tually agreed, at the recommendation of the latter that the question shall stand over until the meetingin January, when the annual accounts will be presented. It was inti mated, however, that an appropriation for this purpose would not have materially interfered with the balance to be carried to the credit of the next halflestr.
