WEDNESDAY EVENING MAY 80 1855 ti 90 A.•., • st , : ; THE TURKISH CAVALRY IN THE Lthsing Compan Closing P-ice , this day. Busir et" this day, CRIMEA. EUPATORIA, May 14. Yesterday morning a Russian Lancer of the Harovsky Regiment came over with horse and arms. He was conducted to the cavalry camp, where he became, as you may easily imagine, an object of curiosity and interest. After the Colonel of the regiment which had been the night on outpost duty and which brought him in had examined him, he was taken to the tents of the soldiers, where each vied in allowing hospitality to the new corner. Russian deserters are on our side of the Crimea rare birds, but rarer even are Turkish deserters. During the time that the Turkish troops were here not more than one deserted. I mentioned it at the time. He had chosen his time well : it was during an armistice, while a conference was taking place between.. the Russian and Turkish Commanders of outposts about the exchange of prisoners. He was supposed at first to be a Tartar, but afterwards found to be an Egyptian officer. Yesterday, the weather being unfavourable for practical exercise, the superior officers, from the major upwards, were called together for a theore tical lesson. I am afraid theory will never mend things, for the Turks are not a theoretical people.; and however well they may arrange the longer and shorter pieces of wood representing squadrons and pelotons on the table, they will only be bewildered if they have to apply knowledge thus acquired to real squadrons and pelotons. Most of the officers work on theory alone, and knowing nothing of practical difficulties, they fall into absurdities. For instance, the other day at a manoeuvre the question arose which would be the best way to retire after a charge.. Some were for "threes or fours about," others for turning by pelotons. 'Now, whoever saw a good cavalry charge in reality must only smile at this. Let any one who made the cavalry charge at Balaklava be asked bow he returned, and he will answer "As best I could." In such a mo ment of maddening excitement all that can be done is to collect again the men and make them form around a common centre, which is usually the standard guard which does not charge, or else, as the Russians do, or, at least, as they are ordered to do, to charge through and form on the other side. I think the best—at any rate, the most practical— instructions for the Turkish cavalry when charging, would be one in the style of the answer which, during the late Hungarian war, an old hussar gave to a recruit going through the sword exercise, who, after having learnt all the cuts, asked how he had to parry the cuts of the enemy, and to whom the old hussar answered, "Never mind the parry ing ; only you cut, and let the other parry." So the instruction for the Turkish cavalry ought to be, " Never mind about returning ; only you charge, and make the others turn." But, instead of following a few such simple and clear rules, which would he easily understood by every one, the poor Turkish cavalry, men and horses, are made to perform all the numerous evo lutions prescribed by their cavalry manual. This manual is a translation of an old French hand book, made for heavy European horses, entirely different from the small but fiery Turkish horses. They are excellent riders so far as sticking on goes, and falling from or with th e h orse, w i thout which scarcely any great cavalry manoeuvre takes place in Europe, is unheard of in the Turkish cavalry. In order to get up full speed he pokes his rusty spurs into the sides of his steed and throws him back on his haunches by pulling as hard as he can on the heavy bit, by which he pro duces a forced irregular jumping, and drives the spirited horse to a degree of excitement quite in credible, then he leans forward with his body and goes off madly. They are all entire horses, most of them young, and nearly a ll w ith a goo d deal of Arab blood in their veins. Quiet as sheep when they are alone, they get fearfully excited in company, and fall immediately into a kind of jogging walk. Under these circumstances, a regular trot becomes impossible even for the best rider. Regular move ments, as European cavalry understand them, would be only possible by breaking the ardour of the horses, and what would these small-sized horses then do in a charge against weighty Dragoon horses ? Their only chance is in the celerity and violence of the impetus ; take that away, and they become baggage ponies. The people who formed the Turkish cavalry seem not to have known themselves whether they would form a light or a heavy cavalry. The Turkish cavalry is neither one nor the other. It has not celerity enough for the first and not weight enough for the second. The horses are, indeed, fleet and enduring enough for the best light cavalry in the world ; but on the backs of those horses are tall, strapping fellows, heavily armed, and drilled like French Chasseurs and Lancers. The idea seems to have been, Lancers and Chasseurs in France form the light cavalry ; consequently, if we organise them as they are we shall have, a light cavalry. They are, indeed, light cavalry in comparison with Dra goons and Cuirassiers, but, in comparis on w ith Turkish hor ses , th e i r orses aro heavy. If, instead of adopting the heavy, unwieldy lance of European Lancers, which they do not know how to wield, and which is rather an encumbrance than a weapon, they had kept the light cane lance from the banks of the Tigris, with which the Arabs hit the run ning bare and the fleetgazelle—if, instead ofimitating the European sabre and arming themselves with that nondescript toy-like weapon called a Turkish ca valry sabre, they had stuck to their scimitars, which they knew how to handle—if instead of try ing to stretch their legs and to balance the stirrup they had sat down in their saddles as their fathers did—if, instead of learning to trot or to retire en echelon, they had been taught to make the most of the speed and agility of their horses—if they had been accustomed to scour the enemy's country with that marvellous celerity which seemed to im part to the old Spahis the character of übiquity— if they had confided their evolutions to bold skir mishing, to rapid forming and charging at any point of the line of the enemy—then the Turkish cavalry would be what it ought to be —one of the most formidable cavalries in the world.

Without falling into the fond error of underrat ing a newly-defeated adversary one may entertain the conviction that after all that we have lately heard of the efficiency of the Russian army in the Crimea, and after mouths of downright strenuous exertion on the part of the Czar and his generals, that army is in no better condition to encounter the battalions of France and England under the ordinary conditions of warfare than when it first encountered them on the Alma. Possibly the pro-Russian journals of Germany may not exaggerate when they state that Prince Gort schakoff disposes of 150,000 fighting men in the Crimea, but the information which reaches us of the state of feeling in the Russian ranks is of more im portance than the evidence of ten thousand human machines, more or less under the orders of the Rus sian general. It appears by letters from Sebasto pol, which have reached Vienna, that the services of the spies, of which Prince Gortschakoff makes so much use, are not an unmixed advantage. The Tar tars, Croats, and Greeks, who contrive to pass be tween the camps, tell others besides the General of the abundance of our resources, the facility of our provisionment, the certain approach of reinforce ments, and the calm confidence of our soldiers. These, thanks to Prince Gortschakoff, are matter of stealthy depressing conversation among the Russian common soldiers, with whom after all the defence of the Crimea must rest. The march of the Allies on the Tchernaya transpires as the sub ject of expectation in private letters from the Rus sian camp, as early as the ith inst. The return of the first expedition from Kertch we learn, in the same way, did not raise the spirit of the Russi ans in proportion to the depression which it wrought in our men, for the trip was regarded as a demon stration of our superabundance of force, as well as of the ease with which the Russian territory could be menaced. The preparations made for the interior and ultimate defence of Sebastopol have produced an unfavourable impression upon the garrison. Until these last few weeks the troops believed their officers, who assured them that the French and English, hemmed in on all sides, and weakened by privation and disease, were really the besieged, and were destinel, upon the arrival of enormous reinforcements from Pere kop, to be driven into the sea. The renewed bom bardment, and the infantry attacks in front of the Central and Quarantine Bastions, as well as the near approach of the French to the Flagstaff Bas tion, have dissipated this delusion, and the mass of the troops have lapsed into moody sullenness and distrust. This temper may not disqualify them for offering a dogged resistance when hard pressed; the severe Russian discipline may dominate it as long as the men are kept in line, even under fire, but rooted dist rus t k nows no e lan, and is fatal to that moral ascendancy which, in close encounters, asserts itself by victozy.—Morntng paper. ADULTERATION OF BEER.—At the Exeter Guildhall, on Thursday, before a bench of magistrates, a complaint was preferred agaf.tist a, publican named Keetb, of the Three Tuns, by the Board of Excise, for adulterating his beer with grains of paradise, camomile flowers, and gentian. The defendant 'bad offered to pay 2001. to compromise the matter, 'but the Board of Excise con sidered that it ought to be brought publicly before the magistrates, although they did not press for the full penalty of 4001. and the fort eiture of all his plant,which, according to the a,?;r, they wt ere entitled to do - .

At about 2 a.m. of the 29th, the ship going over the ground at the rate of 14 miles per hour, pointed f or th e passage and app aren tl y c l ear of the reef , off Quicara, as laid down upon the captain's charts, she struck full and fair. The captain was on deck himself, speaking with Mr. Aspinwall, as indeed he had been all night, and doing all that a skilful and prudent navigator could to guide his ship in safety. The sea was calm and smooth, without any appearance or indication of hidden danger. Instantly, upon striking, an immense volume of water rushed into her forward ; the pumps were all pot in im mediate requisition, boats cleared away, &c. In five minutes the engineer reported the water rising with great rapidity, utterly beyond all efforts of the pumps. At this time we had 15 feet forward and 17 fathoms aft and amidships. The captain's first intention of landing his passengers was instantly frustrated by the rapidity of the rise of the water in the hold, and her setting aft from the depth of water amidships and aft, which cir cumstance rendered it imperative to drive full length on the reef. At this instant she rolled heavily, and ker bow fell off the reef or rock. Having a good head of steam, Watkins determined to run on a little fur ther for the mainreef, which be knew lay a short distance ahead. Upon starting, she rolled heavily from side to side, and steered wildly, coming -to too much, and striking a second time. He backed her off, keeping her stem clear, and again went ahead, running along the reef, delaying his purpose of beaching her so long as he had steam to force her ahead until he should find a spot offering the best chance of saving his passengers. Of course, time flew, and thus passed another five minutes, the water up to the furnaces of the port boiler, and above those of the starboard one—all the fires of the latter out. She still had steam in the boilers—the engineers and firemen up to their necks in water in the fire-room. A few hundred yards ahead we could make out a small cove, beyond the point of the island, bighted apparently with a sandbeach. The steamer stall went on, under com mand of l'er helm, the water still ga i n i ng a b ove the pumps, bailing, &C. Another five minutes, and the balance of the fires were out. We had about 100 yards yet to go to our cove, which we were now nearly abreast of. The captain put his helm hard aport, and headed right on the beach—the water along the side continued deep, and the engine turned over very slowly. On we went, sounding ten fathoms, s;x fathoms, and finally she stopped, her bow within 30 feet of the shore, but so slow was she moving that no one felt the stop. We had 17 feet all round. The boilers had only steam enough left to make some two or three revolutions. After our first feeling of gratitude to Almighty God fer our deliverance from a sudden and fearful danger—from the Arctic's fate —we paid a tribute in admiration to Watkins for his admirable coolness, presence of mind and great efficiency, quick thought, and prompt action. The reef or rock on which she struck could not, in my opinion, have had more than, a foot less water on it than the steamer drew, so that a little less draught of water, or a full tide, would have taken her all clear. It appears to me to be a sunken rock or reef, lying off the main re, f, which makes out from the north-west point of Quicara. So far as can be ascertained the only injury is forward, the scarf of stem and keel being the spot. The wood ends here are doubtless stove in. Watkins has had large pumps constructed, being, of course, unable to work any of those attached to the engine by steam. He got a sail around the bows, but as yet has been unable to get it.under her from her taking in the sand. Last night he tried his full farce of pumps, those he had con structed, together with that worked by the " donkey" engine, for which there is a separate boiler. The result showed that the rise of the water with the tide was only one-half of the rise when no pumps were employed. Hulce by discharging double the quantity of water he is now able to do be can free her entirely, float her, and secure the sail under her bottom properly—all this be proposes to do ; also the construction of a coffer dim, which will, perhaps, enable him to plug up and eoppcir over the hole. Thus the chances are good for his saving the ship. He certainly will leave no stone unturned."— Panama Herald of May 2. THE LATE MILITARY "JOKING.''- LIEUT. WEBSTER'S DEFENCE. (From, the South-Eastern Gazette.) Another chapter in the "disgraceful proceedings" that have rendered the Canterbury depot of the Ist Royals and the Inniskilling Dragoons notorious ! Lieutenant Webster has "rushed into print." In the absence of more exciting occupation, the ex-adjutant takes up the cudgels in self-defence. Why shout,: he be maligned ? did he not concoct the duel ? did he not urge Baumgarten to "call Evans out ?" did he not with his own hands write the challenge ? did he not enact the character of second to the insulted cornet in the farce ? did he not order the poor sergeant (Brodie) under arrest ? did he not press the charge against him with the utmost per tinacity ? And did not Lieut. Webster do this with the best intentions ? But let the modest unassuming gen tleman tell his own tale. After three weeks' considera tion, the gallant lieutenant bas ventured an exculpatory letter, in reply to the strictures to which be has been subjected, more especially those contained in a leading article in the Daily News of April 30th. This letter appeared in that paper on Wednesday last, and, after denying all knowledge of the ",practical jokes," or that he made "any set at Baumgarten, on his joining a° depot, and expressing his opinion that "in assisting that officer to obtain that satisfaction which the annoyances he received justified, he did nothing deserving the title of ungentlemanly conduct,'" Lieutenant Webster pro ceeds IMPORTANT OMNIBUS QUESTION. HammersmithAlfred Evans: aopfpetahreedßa sue Hammersmith Police -court, yesterday, Mr. be v fo e rnesemourr, PaynterArrns, I t V o e a s n t- s e w n e d r , a summons for refusing to pay a • mnibus fare under the following circumstances : — Willia o m Fi cb conductor of one of the Red or Hammersmith Otllnib n use; deposed —That on the night in question the defend t ' h d his omnibus near Kensington -gor e , and upon his entering ae the vehicle with a friend witness told him that the omni bus did not go any further than the Broadway it was the last omnibus running upon the raad: and he had received instructions from tlie proprietor always to finish the jourriey at the Broadway. On reaching that place ad the passengers alighted, and witness told the defendant that they were at th e Broadway. He got out and refused to pay the fare unless witness took him to the White Hart, opposite Scott's Park,. in Hammersmith, about three-quarters of a mile further. Witness told him that he had previously acquainted him with the fact that their last journey finished at the Broadway. The defendant then went away refusing to pay his own fare and that of his friend.—De fendantsaid he had brought this matter forward upon pub- . lie grounds. He did nut complain of this omnibus in parti cula ,r but of the others. Their starting-place was fro the White Hart, and h e cm tended that they were bound to finish their journey at that place ; but instead of doing so they were in the habit of finishing some of their jour neys at the Broadway, and refusing to go any further. If the omnibus contained ladies who lived iu the neighbour hood of the White Hart, they were compelled to walk the remainder of the distance, and very often got wet through in consequence. His friend had been served in - that manner several times. Mr. Paynter wished to know if the defendant lived near the White Hart ? The Defendant said he lived near Scott's Park, which was not far from the White Hart. Mr. Alfred Cloud, one of the proprietors of the Hammersmith Omnibus As- • sociation, said there bad been a general order of the proprietors for several years that the journey of the last omnibus should finish at the Broadway. His omnibus did not reach the Broadway until a quarter past one o'clock in the morning, and his stables were in , Fulham ; it was inconsistent to wish his men to be up , half the night, which would be the case if the omnibus had to go to the White Hart, for it would have to return again to the Broadway on its way to the stables. He areued that if a passenger was told before entering where the omnibus would stop he could not say he was deceived, and thit the con ductor was not bound to take him any further than the place he had mentioned.—Mr. Paynter said he was satisfied that no driver or conductor could [mak the journey and finish it where he pleased, but whether a proprietor had the power that was an other . question • What he had to decide was whether au omnibus proprietor, who had entered into a contract with the public to run a certain distance, could enter into a fresh one by finishing the journey at another P • lace If that were so th ey cou ld f i n i sh the journey at any place upon the road ; but he could not see, if the Excise allowed them to run as many journeys as they thought proper, why they should be allowed to run part .f a journey. It was a very doubtful question, and he should like to have time to consider it.—The summons . was then adjourned foxy,. Vek. , • THE LATE CHARGLI OF INHUMANITY AGAINST A PARISH OFFICER. " I now come to a part of your article which is par ticularly painful to me to contradict, as I cannot well do so without appearing to cast a slur upon a man who has gained sorre notoriety for his conduct on the morning in question (of the duel). I will, however, in justice to myself, give a brief outline of what occurred. On my first meeting Sergeant Brodie I asked him quietly what he was doing there, and received such insolent and in subordinate replies that I felt it my duty to order him into arrest. This he refused to submit to, accompanyin g the refusal with more insolent remarks, and started off across the fields at a run. I procured a file of the guard and followed. A person then came to me and advised me to be cautious, as Sergeant Brodie had armed himself with a large bill-hook, and declared he would cut down the first man that approached him. I then cautioned the guard of this, and on approaching Sergeant Brodie I told th em , should be resist, to use the butt-end of their carbines. Sergeant Brodie did not give himself up a prisoner, but stood with one band behind him, which I imagined to contain the book. I then told the guard to take him, and again ordered them, should he re-ist, to knock him down with the butt -end of their carbines. I then saw that he had previously dropped the hook, and he was marched to the guard-room. I have retained from giving the language he made use of then, as I at tributed it to intoxication. Previously to marching off he stated to Lieut. Hartopp, in my hearing, that he was intoxicated the previous night." The refutation of the ablve statement is ea ily effected, and would have been given on oath before the mayor of Canterbury on S a t ur d ay l ast, on l y t h at the legal adviser from taki ng suc h d ec l arat i ons , un d er th e of his wors hi p (M r.

Mr. Stockton moved that the letter be acknowledged, and that the Poor-law board be informed that the ques tion had been referred to the vestry for its consideration. Mr. Turner could not consent to such a course as this. There was a very serious ohargetmade against an officer who was entrusted with administering relief to the poor. , The question had been originally brought under the no tics of the board of directors, and be had moved for a copy of the shorthand writer's notes of the evidence ; that evidence had been printed, and was in the hands of every member of the board ; he therefore did hope that some notice would be taken of the matter which was agitating the whole parist'. Mr. Cook, the clerk, produced the minutes of evidence, as furnished by the shorthand writer, a copy of which had been sent to each director and vcstryman. After a few observations from Mr. Wilby, it was re solved, upon the motion of Mr. Howlett, that the mat ter be referred t o th e vestry. .1 • I RALLWAYL all Bedford and Bletehley '11)0 Buckgharnsh. 100 Clydesdale Jo. 24 Col.

Sin,--4 am again under the disagreeable necessity of " bringing t o y our notice, and that of the public at large, the jealousy an d b ad blood still existing amongst the lower orders in this neighbourhood, especially amongst . the fishermen of ~''t. Dagmell'e, the most drunken and demoralised set in this country, being worse off every winter when they have a good fishing than when they have a bad one. This much I have heard from the ma gistrates and guardians of the Ueion-house, that they consider Ahe fishery to the St. Daginell's men a curse rather than a blessing —spending their money as they do, after a good day's fishing, in drink, then fighting and swearing for the rest of the day, and in the winter threw ing their families on the Union. Anything like improve ment in this part can never be carried on, especially by Scotchmen, Irishmen, or Englishmen, for all but Wehh men are called adventurers and abused. I have now to bring to your knowledge another plan the cowardly con federates have hit upon to annoy Mr. Ewen, of Gobert, whose property was cut away only a few weeks since— that of sailing through his nets with smacks constantly trading between this port and Milford with limestone. This was done so late as last week, the offender, with as fair a wind as could be, deviating widely from the usual coarse and nearly running his vessel aground in order to effect his purpose, which he fully accomplished, having split the net to pieces, and then sailed off. A summons will be taken out against the offender, and, if necessary, a warrant to bring him up before the magistrates at Petty Sessions to get him indicted for A MISDEMEANOUR, under the 11th and 12th Vic., c. 42, s. 2, which is th e on l y act I can fi n d re aches such a vil lanous outrage committed upon the shores of her Ma jesty's high sea..

' ____ Joseph Quantril, farm bailiff to Messrs. Collard, at Old Park Parra, deposed—On the morning the duel was to take place I was near the gravel pit, looking at my brother, James Quantril, and John Lines, at work in the pit. Sergeant Brodie came up to the bank, and said, "Men come here." I laughed at him at first. He repeated it, and added, " Men, come here, you don't know the consequences." a said to the men, "He wants one of you —he doesn't want me." Brodie then said, "Here are two men going to kill one another; they are going to commit murder; if you don't stop it we shall all be pulled up and transported." I then went to the sergeant ; he was as sober as a judge. I looked carefully at him. No man could be any soberer. Brown, a woodman, was present, and when Sergeant Brodie asked us to take the officer (Baumgarten) he took the bill out of the woodman's hand, saying, " You had better let me have the bill or you may injure yourselves with it if there is a scuffle."

MARSEILLES, May 28.—The Simois has arrived from Constantinople, with Gen. Monnet on board. She brings news from that city to the 21st. General Vivian was or B anising a camp of 25,000 men in the plain of Unkiar-Skelessi. It will be composed of the Turco English Legion and of Turkish Regulars. The English officers will reside in the Russian palace of Buyuk Dere. The last news re ceived at Constantinople from the Crimea was to the 19th. Numerous reinforcements were arriv ing. The French were encamped at Kasatch and Kamiesch. The Sardinian troops had disembarked at Balaklava. Omer Paella was expected with 25,000 men ; Sefer Bey had already arrived at Kamiesch. Preparations were making for an ex pedition to the north of Sebastopol, the object of which was to cut off the communications between Sebastopol and the Russian camp. General Bouat had returned to the Crimea. The Debats says : " The expedition to Kertcb, it is but just to remark, was first conceived by General Canrobert, who had al ready embarked 12,000 men for that p - zrpose, when a despatch from Paris led to their return. General Pelis sier has now executed it with the co-operation of some English forces, and the operation has completely suc ceeded. At the same time that the new General-in- Chief is carrying the army forward, he is also pushing on the siege works with vigour. As the combined army of the three powers, including Tuikey, may be now estimated without exaggeration at 180,000 fighting men, if not even at 200,000, from the rein forcements which are constantly arriving, there is every reason to think that the campaign in the Crimea will soon lead to some of those great conflicts which exercise a deci sive influence on the progress of a war or on future policy." I AUST RALASIAN PACIFIC MAIL STEAM PACKET COMPANY. An extraordinary general meeting of the shareholders was held yesterday, at the London Tavern, to consider the recommendation of the directors for the amount of compensation to be given to the officers of the company, on the winding up of its affairs, in compliance with a resolution of the annual meeting of February last. The CHAIRMAN (Mr. G. Hibbert) read a short report of the bcard, in which it was stated that, after carefully considering the services and merits of the parties in terested, the board had determined to recommend that the sum of 2,3621, should be divided amongst them, and apportioned as follows : testimonial of the value of 250 guineas to Mr. Currie : 1,2001., the amount of two years' salary, to the secretary, Mr. Wetton ; 5001. to Captain Small ; and 2001. each to Mr. SaunderB, the accountant, and Mr. Beardmore, the chief clerk of the company. As regarded the general position of affairs, the chairman added that there were still some claims pending between the company and the government, but every effort was being made to arrive at a'speedy settle ment. He concluded by moving that the distribution which he bad read should be carried out. The motion having been seconded, a low -, discussion ensued as to the amount which ought to be awarded, several proprietors contending that the proposal of the directors was profuse ; and an amendment was moved by Mr. SPURT and seconded by Mr. WEBSTER to reduce the amount to 1,2001., exclusive of the testimonial to Mr. Currie. Mr. HOLLAND addressed the meeting, in opposition to the motion, on behalf of a number of Liverpool share holder 4, and contended that legally there could be no gratuities at all. The amendment, on being put to a show of hands, was supported by only five persons, and was rejected by a large majority. The original motion was then car ried, there being 21 hands in favour of and 12 against it. After the division Mr. Holland hal:teed in a protest against the payment of the money. The meeting terminated with a vote of thanks to the chairman. MARKET NEWS-(T111,8 DAM. CORN EXCHANGE. The show of wheat in to-day's market was but moderate, and almost wholly the refus3 of Monday's supply. The demand was somewhat inactive, yet factors were tolerably firm in their demands, and the quotations were supported. We had an increased supply of foreign wheat on offer. Selected samples realised extensive rates ; but inferior parcels were dull, and the turn lower. Barley and malt moved off slowly at late rates. The supplies were m( derately good. We had a dull sale for oats, the prices of which were rather easier. Beans, peas, and flour were held at full quotations. ♦RRIVALS THIS WHIR. Barley. Malt. 1,740 ) 1,320 Wheat. 1,150 Oats. English ..
