It is, therefore, no mat , er of sur. rise that he should enjoy ; , the reputation of being a most elexterous and skilful manipulator With urethral instruments ; and when it is remembered that the laminted Liston used to assert that the introduction of instruments through a stricture which had previously been impermeable to them, was the most difficult in the whole range of surgical operations, it must be no slight source of gratification on Mr. 'ourtenay's part to have achieved the reputation he has in this res •ect ; and for our part, with, the knowledge we have of his experience, we know of no man to 'whose care w , would with greater confidence entrust the treatment of a severe case of stricture of the urethra."—Medical Circu!ar.

WINTER SEASON, 1855, THE GREAT WIZARD OF THE NORTH begs ma t respectfully to announce:4l,qt, this favourite place of amusement will f n•ENT on MONI*AY,-0A.4. 3d, under new au spices, and with a series of Extraordinary I'e-formances As every thing the Wizard 'ays his hand on necessarily undergoes some start inz cha• ge. the I yceum Theatre wilt Si' a wave, of his Magic Wan', be instantly transformed into the Wiktr•l's Psyc mauthetim while the el ss Enterfa nment , presentedlxithin its wills will be as unlike an , th nn that has hen seen before as it Is os••ible to con ceive. Preparations have been I t prog• ego f•r many months past to pro 'uce these Eotertsimnents on a scale ot magnitude and txeelle ce worthy of the 5, izard's fame arid po:sularity. Hi•t assistant spirits ha' e been ordered to spare no •-xeef•se in the compounding of their spells; and the result it is hoped will he art EnterLa nment which, 'or " start ing efft c's," will far out-trip tlikAvildest French mel ; with " rapid • han,es" more urprising that an a dot's play ing twenty parts, in twenty diffe ent dresses; with tricks more wonderful than tho-e of an adult rating tradesman: and " trans formations" which would make the alchemists of old expire with envy. PROFESSOR ANDERSON (the Great Wizard of the North) having I corn , leted th • entire circuil of the globe, and visit• d dmost every part of Furope, Am rict. India, and Australia. atended everywhere with a degree of success unexampled, he believes, in the career of an , individual aspiri••g o the titles of a co m po itan artiste, will give his extra , rdinary IDS:LAsSEMENs IQUES in the above Theatre for a limited pe , lod, preparatory to his final retirioment from punlie life. No ex rtioo will be spared on hi.. part to secure the contir uance o' the public favour which he has hitherto enjoyed wherever he has presented himself. Int the Continent from t tershurg o Mad id; in America, from Canada to Me ico, and f-om New York t . San Fr .n•tiseo; everywhere, in short. hive the Wizard's marvels succeeded most effectually in " astonishing the natty.," of the various countries visited. His performances have been prtronised • y audiences am mnt n g in the ag-regate to very many mil•ions ; and he is the only British Professor of his art of who, in addition to havhig been honoured by all the ourts Eitrot•te, th.s also been commandel to perform before her Majesty the QUEEN. Without attempting to exalt the Professor's art beyond its due deserts, let it suffice to say it is his art. lle has devoted h mself for ye rs to the perfecting it, and rend ring it more fitted 'o amuse and entertain the puhlie. That he has been successful in his efforts he thinks, from wha' he has said, is pretty retain ; indeed a life time spent in diligent pnr uit of exeePence in any art, whatever it may he, can acarc.ly fad in producing some degree of efficiency. It is the result of this long study that will be p•esented at the Lyceum Theatre. Feats in Modern Magic hitherto un,ittempted will b. exhibited by the 'id of apparatus outrivalling any that has b en preVoasly constructed. an th r feature in Professor Anderson's Delassemens ‘lagiques will he a complete disclosure of some of the principal impostures of the ace, with illu , tratiom; of the mechanism, mysten , aid mischief of tiirit-rapp ng, Table-turning, Clai• - voyance, and other delusions, to he c!a.sed generally under the now pooular head of the " sell " theory.

AUSTRALIA.—Advises have been received from Aus tralia, dated Melbourne, June 1, which give a mode rately favourable account of the progress of business. The markets were still oppressed with goods, but less so than for some months past, and such trade as was car ried on was for the most part safe and remunerative. Grain and farm produce generally were in great demand, and the prevalence of high prices had caused a large in crease in the breadth of land sown with wheat. The ex port duty on gold had come into operation on the Ist of May, and, owing to the forms connected 'A ith it, a tem porary diminution had occurred in the quantity brought into Melbourne, although the rate of production was understood to be undiminished. The efforts made previously to send away as much as possible had also contributed to a reaction. The totals received by escort in the seven weeks from the 14th of April to the 26th of May inclusive had been 44,356, 41,732, 52,174, 13,151 (the first week of the duty), 29,276, 30,364, and 47,402 ounces. The success of the Chinese had been reraarkable, and several of them were returning to China with large amounts. In the previous week 38 bad sailed with 7401. each in gold-dust, besides specie and other valuables. Violent opposition was being raised against them as settlers, and a public meeting had been called to demand measures to put a stop to their arrival. Opinion on the point, however, was not unam- ITIOUP, and the Government wishing to adopt a moderate course, bad proposed measures to place them altogether in a specific locality, under the supervision of persons of their own nation ; but the bill on the subject, which was still under discussion, bad 'been so altered by the Assem bly that it was doubtful if it would be proceeded with. A clause bad been introduced, by which vessels will be allowed to bring only one such passenger for every ten tons of registered measurement, and which will also impose a rate of 101. per head. Meanwhile, the influx continued heavy, and 700 are said to have landed in the Preceding week. The price of gold was 755. 6d. per ounce. On the 23d of May the Melbourne banks in creased the premium on the exchange on London from 1 to 2 per cent. The produce of the gold duty for the four weeks it had been in operation was 14,4191. A plan of Mrs. Chisholm for the erection of shelter sheds the roads to the mines, at from five to nine miles apart, had been adopted by the Government, and a sup ply had been ordered for the first 80 miles out of M e l. bourne. Mention is made of the death of Sir Robert '';i3kle, the Commander of the forces at Melbourne. The Eagle had sailed for Liverpool on the 31st of May with 43,979 ounces of geld, valued at 175,916/.

(From the Times of this defy. ) We shall be thought very great bores ; in fact, we have a sort of instinct ourselves that our line is vary boring. But there is really no help for it, unless we abdicate our functions altogether, and retire to fly-fishing, landscape-gardening, and the ihteal s o s o f t u e n n d a i g s i t s e r n e l o t u e i r o e f a l a a n r d m t . o s f o ;rue paration takes its place. N o b o d y now d ou bt s th a t d resources of the circulati ng lib rary. W e canno t We ill h note mus t we are in for another winter campaign in the Cri mea. It need not, however, be put so strong as that, for if everybody doubted it, but allowed that it was only possible, that would be quite enough for our present purpose. There is much more rea son to expect a winter campaign now than there was this time last year, and the excuse, " Oh, everybody expected we should be in Sebastopol be fore Christmas,' is now thought a very bad one. The hope then was the first rush, the eclat of a successful landing, the surprise, the ardour of new corners, and all the freshness of a youthful war. Now, on the other hand, hope is concentrated and defined on one point—the chance of the next forth coming bombardment and assault. On this point, however, experience forbids us to be too sanguine. It is true that we have pushed our trenches almost up to the fortifications of the Redan, and the French .till closer to those of the Malakhoff. We are so near that we lose 30, 40, or 50 men a-night in - he trenches, while cur allies are said to lose 100 a-night. The enemy, meanwhile, has made the two works before us stronger than they were on the fatal 18th ; and the assailants will have to pass deeper ditches, encounter larger impediments, end run the gauntlet of more guns, only to find themselves in the presence of new fortifications, of which the old ones are only the screen. The allies, on their side, purpose to meet this with more batteries and large guns. The French pro mise to open fire with more than 300 mortars. But the batteries, the mortars, old the ammuni tion are not yet forthcoming. So, the- - great day, that dreadful day of which it may almost be said, in comparison with all the other csnflicts of human passion and outpourings of human vengeance, Dies irce dies ilia, lace splendens et favilla, is still indefinitely prorogued, and nobody can say in shat month it will come. We only know that the ionger it is postponed the more dreadful it will be, ,ud still wholly uncertain in its results. But there is, in our opinion, one certainty about it ; and that ,s, whether we take Southern Sebastopol or not, we shall have to winter in our present position. When Sebastopol falls into our hands, it will be a mere heap of ruins, with all the horrors of the charnel-house. With the enemy still in possession ,f the north side, the south side will be the front of our own attack, as bloody and wretched as our present advanced trenches. So that, whether we also Sebastopol or not, we shall have still to occupy the heights throughout the ensuing winter. So how are we prepared for a winter campaign ? At this moment we must confess to a strong sus picion that we are not much more forward in this respect than we were last year. In the first place, it ought to be known that there is scarcely a hut in the British army, except the few used for hos pitals and stores. It is found by painful expe rience that mere tents will not do for the winter, yet there are no huts. The shiploads sent out last winter have disappeared, nobody seems to know where, but they did not reach the camp, except perhaps in the shape of firewood. We are now told that there are huts for 50,000 men in pro paration at home • but if they are sent out to-mor row—and we shall be only too glad if they are sent out a month to-morrow—and if they are for warded in vessels, as economy would suggest, they will not arrive at Balaklava till the end of Sep tember. With all the other work the railway has to do—if it is then in condition to do any work— it will be a month conveying the huts to the camp ; that is, till November. With the greatest industry and skill, it will be then a month before the huts are all put together. The very utmost we can hope, therefore, is that the army may be well hut ted by Christmas-day. We expect, however, no such thing. The huts will not be embarked so oon, the conveyance will not be expeditious, the railway will not be so serviceable, the rude build ers set to work on the huts will not be so handy. So when frost sets in we expect to hear that only a third or a fourth of the army is properly housed, and that when our poor soldiers return from the trenches, wet, chilly, hungry, sick, and wounded, they will have again to find what shelter they can in hovels deep in mud, or tents as cold as the outer air. We have alluded to the railway, and the mate rial element it has been in all calculations. That railway has not yet been tried by a long period of bad weather, and, unless it is very substantially relaid, it is almost certain to fail at the hour of the greatest need. The sleepers rest on the loose earth, which after much rain becomes fluid mud ; a great part of it is necessarily worked by horses, and there is, we are told, absolutely no ballast ; so that when the ground gives under rain the horses will never get a firm footing. Yet next November it is very probable that, with the railway in this miserable state,—with the rails sinking and twisting, and nothing but mud be tween7them—nay, with torrents flowing over them —the army will be dependent upon it for the whole supply of food, fuel, ammunition, new guns and mortars in place of those fast wearing away, huts, if then arrived, winter clothing, and more thau we can tell. Meanwhile, we have no other road at all to be depended on—no road in repair. The French have made large accumulations of stones for keeping the road from Kamiesh to the camp in good repair, but we have made none. We are en tirely depeudent on the railway ; and, even if the railway is not thrown out of order, there is still an utter want of durable hard roads branching from the railway to the different parts of the camp. Notwithstanding the very little improvement in comfort or security, however, that we seem likely.' to gain by the possession of the southern side, we can scarcely imagine a worse thing for the allies than any attempt to suspend the siege, abandon the trenches, and withdraw to lines of their own. Not to speak of the loss of labour and the discou ragement, the position of the Allies would then become one of the greatest insecurity. It is true that the French have constructed works about the harbour at Kamiesh extensive enough to protect and to employ the whole of their army. It is true, too, that Balaklava is strong enough on the right and the front ; but as yet there are no works whatever to protect the harbour from the heights on the side of the camp, and it would not be easy to construct them at so great a distance as to prevent the Russians from shelling the harbour, were the site of the present camp left in their hands. It would be necessary, therefore, to exclude the Russians from that site, by keeping up the com munication between Kamiesh and Balaklava with a new line of earthworks, involving much labour and loss of life to make and sustain. After all, we very much doubt whether, supposing such a com munication to be made, the horrors of the struggle would be at all abated, as the ony alteration would be that we should be besieged in our own lines, in stead of besieging the Russians in theirs. There would be the same watching andwarding, the same trinch work and sorties, the same mining and countermining—everything, i n fact, except that we should no longer have the idea d progress and the hope of success. No ; our gam e is to press on the siege, and not relent a day. If we are asked how the siege can be pressed harder, we cannot help asking, in return, what adequate use is now made of the finest army ever assembled in the world ? What use are we making of she Piedmontese ? Why should we have more than '.9,000 Turks doing nothing whatever at Eupatoria--not even stirring a finger to intercept the Russian supplies from the north? We cannot help thinking that by force of numbers we might press the siege rather closer. We cannot doubt of its ultimate knouts, and even hope that the end is at hand. It is clear that the Russians are not reinforced at the rate they once were, and cannot even get up supplies adequate to their reinforcements. Both in and out of Sebasto pol they are almost desperate with starvation. Mr. Gladstone ' will tell us not to believe this, hut we do believe it. We do nut believe that Prince Gortschakoff would have brought his army down from an impreg n able position to a place where they were pounded as in a mortar, and where, in fact, 4,000 of them were left dead on the ground, but for the impossibility of standing still where there was nothing to oat. If this is the case at so open and central a position as the heights about Mackenzie's Farm, we may infer , what it must be in Sebastopol. In this respect we must beat them in the long run, and perhaps before very long. Nevertheless we will not lean on the broken reed, as Mr. Gladstone oalls this reasonable hope. We are still for pressin on the siege with the utmost expedition , and with all the means in our power, and preparing with even p:ovisiou for >& 40 *alai Mitiugenoies of a winter campaign. Above all, let the re be no doubt as to the means of communication from the camp to the harbour, which must be—as it has all along been —our only base of operations. THE WHITE SEA. The Inv alide Busse publishes the following re port of the Archimaudrite Alexander, of the Mo nastery of Solovetz, to Admiral Kroustchoff, mili tary governor of Archangel, dated the 25th of June (July ') To complete my report of the 18th inst., relative to the appearance of the English near the Monastery of Solovetz, I have the honour co submit respectfully the following facts to your Excellency : "On the 21st of June (July 3) the English screw-ves sel returned to the island of Zaiatsky at 5 in the after noon, and was soon followed by a French steamer ; both cast anchor at about five versts' distance from the mo nastery, and sent some of their crew to the abovemen tioned island, where the commander of the English ves sel asked brother Memnon, the guardian of the church, what reply the Archimandrite had made to the request to send them oxen. 'None,' replied the old man. After consulting among themselves, the English took him on board their boat and brought him to our island of Solo vetz, and ordered him to declare to me that if I did not present myself in person on the following day (June 22—July 4), on board their ships, or if I did not send them what they wanted, they would come them selves and take away the oxen and cows. I kept old Memnon at the monastery, and on the following day I sent him to tell the English to send me au inter preter in a boat with four rowers only, while I would go to meet them at 100 sagenes' distance from the shore to confer with him, and I took this resolution with a view of saving the monastery, or, at least, of doing my duty, that my conscience might be tranquil in the future. Taking my sub-prior with rue, that be might be present at the negotiations, I left at 8 a.m. in a boat pulled by seven excellent boatmen, and carrying a white flag. On arriving at the island I stopped at a dis tance of 100 sagenes, and saw a boat of the enemy's approach hearing a white flag and manned by 15 men. I thereupon landed on the island with the sub-prior, and sent my boat to meet the English to tell them to send me an interpreter, with four rowers, and that I should not confer with them except on that condition. In con sequence of this declaration one of the Englishmen got into my boat and the others landed on a neighbouring island. The Englishman who came to me said tbat he was not an interpreter, but an English officer who knew a little Russian, and that his name was Anthony. The conversation turned upon their demand for oxen. I re plied, "I have nn oxen—l have only cows, whose mi.k provides food for the monks, who are prohibited by our religion from eating meat, and if you attempt to take away these cows by force I will have them killed and thrown into the sea before you can effect a landing.' I then represented to him that in 1854 his compatriots hal bombarded the mona-tery, which had been, and was to he for the future, a refuge for the navigators of their nation and of ether hostile nations in the course of their commercial voyages, "The Englishman said, in reply, 'The commander of the squadron was doubly wrong—first, fur having bad the -des of opening fire, although he excuses himself by saying you fired upon him first ; and, secondly, for not having taken the monastery after firing upon it. His conduct cannot be praised.' And he concluded with some gross expressions againstthe officer who commanded the squadron last year. I took the opportunity of tell ing hi►n that, trusting in the intercession of our holy patrons, we were firmly convinced that no human force could ever take the sacred asylum. I persuaded him to intercede with his commander that he should not insist upon demanding oxen and cows, and he promised to do so. On quitting he added, 'We now leave this, but in three weeks' time a considerable fleet will come, in which our CoMmander-in-Chief will be on board a vessel, the very sight alone of which will fill you with fear : you must then wait upon him with a white flag, and ask him to spare the monastery.' My boatmen then took him back. The two vessels mentioned above having remained at anchor near the monastery on the 21st, 22d, and 23d of June (3d, 4th, and sth of July) weighed anchor, and paid a visit to the islands, hunting down and despoiling the poor inhabitants. On the 24th of June (July 6) I again visited the island of Zaiatsky, to ascertain what the English and French had done there, „and I found my two;old men in good health. On leaAng, the French had robbed them of a cock and one year's provisions of wood for burning, brought there from the monastery. " When, during the course of the conversation, I spoke to the English office' respecting the sheep be. longing to the monastery which had been taken away, he replied, We offered to pay for there to your old men, but they refused the money ; we are at war, and we pillage.' I then requested him t , ) restore a boat, laden with herrings, which had been captured within sight of the monastery, and which was the property of a peer peasant who war weeping bitterly. The officer promised to do so, but did not ; a few barrels of herrings only were left on shore with the recommendation to give them to the peasant, and the boat with the remainder, was taken away. " We now see steamers pass daily in front of the mo nastery, which is strictly blockaded ; on our side, we offer up prayers and place our trust in the Holy Mother of God, who consoles the afflicted."

In the opening note of the scerla her magnificent ♦oice rang through the spacious hall with its peculiar clearness, and altogether this piece was in our opinion the gem of the evening. Between the parts Master Arthur Napoleon played one of Tbalberg's pianoforte fantasias. A good deal of interest was excited by the appearance of this youthful , xecutant. _ _ _ ~ The attendance at the cathedral this morning was very much better than yesterday. This morning was devoted entirely to Mendelssohtfe oratorio of "Elijah." To Mr. Weis was allotted the part of the Prophet, and Clara Novello, Miss Dolby, Mrs. 'Weiss, Miss Moss, Sims Reeves, and Mr. M. Smith, all assisted in the principal soli. A great treat was anticipated in the rendering of the air, "If with all your hearts," which was given to Signor Mario, and heavy was the disap- pointment experienced by all who listened to his handling of this beautiful air, sung without any of the pathos or feeling which we have been accustomed to hear thrown into the passage. Clara► Novello sang the opening air to the second part, " Hear ye, Israel," and, we need not say, did full justice to it. Among the company present were the Lord Bishop, with Mrs. Hampden and Miss Hampden, the Countess Lucan, Lord William Graham, the Ladies Bi ng h am , Lady Charlotte Montgomery, Lady Emily Foley, Lady Langley, the Hon. and Rev. George Herbert and Lady Harriet Herbert, Archdeacon Lane Freer, Archdeacon Thorp, the Hon. Captain Hanbury, Mr. King King, M.P.. Mr. Booker, M.P., Sir R. Price and Lady Price, &c., &c. BRITTKN'S IMPROVED SHELLS. Further experiments were made yesterday at Shoe huryness, under the direction of Lieut.-Colonel Mitchell, Royal Artillery, with the new shells invented by Mr, Bashley Britten. It will be remembered that, according to the official return published, these projectiles when last tried acquired an effective range of about 1,000 prds more than the service solid shot, and this with little more than half the charges of powder. Since that period the inventor has slightly altered the form of the hinder part of his shells, conceivinit.that this would still fur they increase their range. His expectations, however, have not been fulfilled in that respect. and yesterday the new shells, though they maintained their superiority as rewards the service shot, fell short of the range last ob tained by about 400 or 500 yards. Of course the best possible form is not to be arrived at all at once, and in this instance experience seems to teach that the shape of the shell used on the 26th ult. is best adapted to in sure both extent of range and accuracy of aim. In any case there now appears no reason to doubt the soundness of the principle. Mr. Britten claims for his projectiles the power of the Lancaster shells, with far greater accu racy of flight and with a very trifling increase of cost, if any, over the ordinary service shot. Of seven experi mental shells fired yesterday six were projected from a rifled 9-pounder, the object being to carry out the principle of the Minii rifle, and to procure for the shot the rotatory motion. Whether this motion is or is not secured seems to be a moot point, but that the grooves exert some influence would certainly appear to be shown by the fact that the only experimental shell fired from a smooth bore was a failure. The longest flight taken by the new shell yesterday was 3,150 yards, which repre soots the first graze, not the extreme range; this was at an elevation of 11i degrees, with a powder charge of lilb. At the same elevation, and with a 31b. charge of powder, the service shot fell short of this range by some 600 yards. One noticeable feature with regard to the ex perimental shot was that the increase of the charge from lilb. to 21b., instead of adding to the range diminished it. Then, again, their conical shape allows of a greater weight in the Britten shells as compared with the ser vice shot when firing from guns of the same calibre. The weight of the experimental shot fired from the 9-pounder was 141 b. yet the charge of powder used was lilb. as against 31 b. for the service ball of less weight. The advantages thus gained are apparent. By adopting these projectiles a 9-pounder gun is virtually converted into a 14-pounder, and so with cannon of greater calibre. The strain upon the gun, also, is of course con siderably less owing to the diminished charges required. There is another point „in co nnection with this inven tion which deserves considbratton. ' An insuperable difficulty has hitherto been experienced in so coating the body of an iron projectile with soft metal at its hinder part that it shall expand and fill the bore of the gun when fired, in order to pre vent what is technically known as " windage," and, by adapting itself to the grooves in its passage, to give the ball a rotatory motion. Previously to this invention, it had not been found possible to render the union of the iron and the lead, or softer metal, so complete that the latter would stand the explosive force of the powder. Mr. Britten, however, has overcome this di ffi culty, and has thus reduced the "windage," or waste of projecting power, to, perhaps, the lowest possible amount. Inde pendently of the rotatory motion, if that be gained, the filling up of the bore in this way so steadies the ball that it is not forced violently at, nay one point against the sides of the gun, and the pressure being equal throughout this constant cause of wear and tear in our present ar tillery is avoided. By the conical form of the new shell the amount of atmospheric resistance is, of course, con siderably reduced as compared with spherical shot, and the centre of gravity is so placed that the missile flies with its point always in advance. It may thus be made to explode on striking in the same mariner as the Lan caster shells, or it may be used, as was the case yester day, without being charged with powder t all. The experiments were made at di.4erent degrees of elevation, but with only one description of shell—the 9 pounder being the on,ly rifled gun yet adapted for practice with these projectiles. It seems very desir able that they should- be tested as soon as possible with guns of a larger calibre. If the principle is good for anything no time should be lost in applying it—at least this is the conclusion which presents itself to unofficial minds ; and an invention which promises to add even half a mile to the range of our artillery may be thought worth trying on a large scale. The inventor however, has not much to cheer him in his past attempts to improve the science of gunnery. He has already , stated in his published letters that " the proper officers, to whom his plan was first referred, looked upon ft as not appearing of sufficient advantage to the serv ice t o call for further consideration, and to this may b• ad d ed Mr. Monsell's admission that the invention has alre. 8 4 9. been nine months before the Government. Then no tusk iz tips. teat, to mown* irrostsP THE MOORS. ATRsrnßE.—On Muirkirk Moor, T. S. Cunningham, yr. of Caprington, had 8 brace ; James Paxton, of Richardson, 8 ; A. Aird, of Crossflat, 54 ; Thomas Samson, Esq., Burnside, had 8 ; Mr. Dykes and party of four guns, on Glenbuck Moor, had 446 brace, of which amount Mr. J. Y. Deans, of Kirkstyle, had 141. T. Paterson, Esq., Deanside, had but indifferent success. . On Lanfine Moor, Mr. Robert Gardiner and party bagged 31 brace on Monday. On Lainshaw Moor Sheriff Anderson and party were not fortunate as the birds were very scarce. But although bags have not bem so bulky as heretofore yet sportsmen never enjoyed themselves better. On Beach Moor, near Maybole, a place of only some 106 acres in extent, one gun shot 14 brace. The Hon. T. F. Kennedy's keeper als.. bagged 14 brace on Dunure Moor.—Edinburgh, Etening Courant. UAITHNESS.—We learn that on the 14th instant, H. Smith, Esq., Olrig, bagged 281 brace grouse on the Achalibster CUMBERLAND.—Speaking generally, game may be said to be scarce, and not in first-rate condition. In West Cumberland, Westmoreland, and North Lancashire, ex perienced shots had no reason to complain of want of sport, and in some places an unusual number of birds were bagged. On the border, and a dozen miles beyond it, birds are scarce, shy, and very strong on the wing, rarely permitting a nearer approach than 150 yards. On the whole, we gather that the season is au average one, and that the field has been taken in great force.—Car- lisle paper. ROXBUBGISIIIRE.—So far as we have been ableto learn the success of our sportsmen these three days has been such as to excite hopes that the season may not be So un productive after all. The mo-t successful instance we have hard of is that of Sir John Lees, who on Monday killed . _ s l e 9 i ! t li e ra a c se e d ot b fi y ne h i b s i ri;lrsoothnerß.ionrtll law, w wic 0 13 11, 7 e m e e s i t k a i t a e rn , t E p s r q e- Others, though not so successful, ' have had a fair start ; but all complain of the wildness of the birds. They often rise at a great di , tance, making the toil considerable. — Edinburgh Evening Courant. MORAYSHIRE.—Fears were entertained that the sport would be very poor, owing to the scarcity of birds, and the small size and weak state of the young ones. From the notes which we have received it would, however, appear that the sportsmen have met with pretty fair suc cess. On the Carron moors, Mr. Grant of Carron bagged 30 brace of grouse durirg the day. The Rev. Mr. Parks, Wester Elchies,. bagged 25,1 brace on the Elchies moors. Colonel Dixon and party bagged, on Castle Grant shootings, 33 brace ; Mr. Bruce, Kennet, and Mr. Roblin, on Cromdale grounds, 374 brace. Mr. Lawson, Oldmills, and Mr. Paul, Kilnflat, bagged 23 brace on the Kellas moors. Provost Grant, J. Grant, Esq., and party, bagged 97 brace and a few hares on the Benrinnes moors. Alexander Mackenzie, Eiq. and Colin Mackenzie, Esq., on the Plusoarden moors, bagged 48 brace of grouse. The reports, on the whole, are fa vourable and encouraging to the sportsman. Lord H. Bentinck and party arrived at Lagganauld on Saturday, and were on the moors on Monday. The Duke of Rich mond the Earl of March, Prince Edward of Saxe- Weimar, Lord Hill, the Hon. Rowland Hill, and Colonel Jebb, are in Glenfiddich. It is feared that the sport will not be so geed as usual, as the birds are rather scarce,and the young birds are but small yet.—Elgin Courant. NEWTON-STEWART.—From what we have been able to gather on the subject, the worst fears of the sportsman have been fully realised. On Monday some of our best guns were early on the moors, and returned with only such "bags" as might be expected at the close of any ordinary season. Although so very gloomy at present things may yet get better._ We hear of some places where the coveys are more numerous than is generally reported. PERTHSBIRE.—In addition to our sporting intelli gence from Perthshire, we may add that the old grouse are freer from disease (tapeworm) than for two or three years past ; but the covers do not exceed four or five in number, and are of two, if not three, different sizes, the early broods being destroyed by frost. We are warranted in saying the returns from the best guns on some moors are nearly one-half less than last year.—Correspondent of Edinbuggh. Advertiser. • . RENFREWSHIRL—The sport on the 13th was not 1111 bad as might have been anticipated. The grouse was very wild and strong upon the wing. Sir M. R. Shaw Stewart, Bart., shot 17 brace on Ardgowan moors ; Mr. John Reid, 23 brace on Duchal ; Mr. Matthew Brown, 171 1 brace on Doogley Hill moor ; Mr. A. Wingate, 7 brace on Kilmalcolm ; Mr. J. C, Foulds, 5i brace on Kingwells ; Mr. A. Gilmour, 10 brace on Glenowther. The largest number shot was on Kinloch, where 206 brace were killed by four guns. All accounts agree as to the wildness of the birds, which, in some places, rose 150 yards off, and in others were almost unapproachable. —Greenock A dvertiser. STIRLINGSHIRX.—The [grouse on the moors in this locality are very scarce indeed ; and the consequence was, that on the 13th the sport was very poor. Wehave not heard of a single good bag having been made—the beet we know of being those of J. F. Bennett, Esq., C. the Touch Moor, who bagged 17 brace ; and E. C. Graham, Esq., of Gartmore, who bad 12 brace ; while Mr. Graham, jun., bagged 18 brace.

" The Russian frigate Diana, having Pico-Adsibil Pontiatine on board, was lying in the harbour at • the time, engaged in finishing up the treaty . they had made with the Japanese. Immediately after ate shook was felt, the water in the harbour became coii4mlsed to such a degree in eddies and whirlpools, that, in the space of 80 minutes, she swung entirely round 43 times, twisting her chains up into knots. So rapid seas fi l iation, that re or t d n i r o n a , ry thieeyvsttg. ated on • the its again the people on board co u ld not k eep t h e i r f ee t, an d a lt were made giddy. Wh en t h e sea receilea r lt left the frigate in eight feet water o n h er side, whaler usual draftatevrose five was over ve 2 f a l t b ofeet.ma b a 00 above its s el again receding, four feet only of water remained, so that they saw the stocks of their anchors above the water. The heaving of the bottom of the bay was then so violent that the frigate, although, as I said, in only four feet water, was moved bodily past her anchor. The agent momently expected that the bay would become the out let of subterranean fires, and that they should be en. gulphed in it. When the frigate again floated they saw her keel and rudder, which had been wrenched off, float ing alongside, and the ship filling with water. By getti ng sails under her, they managed to keep her afloat, and the next day, things having got quiet once more, they hauled her off into deeper water. Occasional shooks of earthquake still continued to be felt, but none were at tended with serious consequences. After repairing da mages as well as they could, aid having rigged a tem porary rudder, and the weather becoming fine, they at tempted to take the ship round to another bay, where she would be less exposed, and they could complete re* pairs (Simoda being badly adapted for such a PurP° s o , but when within seven miles of their harbour, a gale sprung up the one hundred Japanese baste that were towing them abandoned them (not, however, until they had got out all the officers and crew), and shortly after the gallant ship sink in deep water, the officers and men savi ng on l y t h e clothes they ;teed in. Notwithstanding all their misfortunes, and the danger through which they had passed, they oily lost one man, and he was accidentally killed by being jammed by one of the guns which had got adrift. " We have been favoured with a copy of a letter ad dressed to a gentleman here giving a few more parties lars of the catastrophe. The French whaler Napoleon 111. arrived at Simoda sometime in January, and would have been captured by the Diana's men had she re mained there six hours longer than she did. The fact should not be overlooked that the wretched Dienes were perfectly prepared to put neutrality aside, in capturing this vessel in neutral waters, had they had the oppor tunity." . _ EXECUTION OF BEMS AT CANTON. (From the Friend of China, March 14.) In our remarks on the retirement of the rebels from Sunchow, in another column, it is stated that the thou sands of men brought to Canton as prisoners are now being decapitated at the rate of a hundred and fifty a-day. That was the number, we were told, executed on Saturday last, a spectacle to which we were witness. The Canton execution ground has been before described in this journal, and for all our readers it is not necessary to repeat that it is situated about a hundred yards from the river at a distance of two miles or so below the fac tories. The ground is oblong, about a hundred and fifty feet in length—the entrance on the side nearest the river being about six feet. This is closed with bars during practical operations. At the grand entrance the ground is about 20 feet wide. On the right hand, door ways open on to several oven and tile manufactories. As we approached the execution ground many were mot with hands to their nostrils, or with their tails tied round their faces, for the purpose of avoiding the horrid stench which could literally be " felt" at a considerable distance. The ground was covered with partially dried gore, the result of the past day's work. There are no drains to take the blood away, nor is any substance used to slake it. One man was found digging holes for two crosses, on which he said four were to be tied and cut in pieces. _ _ The execution had been fixed for noon. At half-put 11 half a dozen men arrived with the knives, preceded by bearers of rough deal wood boxes, decorated with bloody aides—these were the coffins. Unconcern was the general appearance of the soldiers and spectators, of whom, altogether, there may have been 150. The day was dull, a fresh breeze from the eastward carrying the stench away from foreigners, who, -to the number of a dozen, had obtained admittance to the top of one of the houses on the far side of the street passing the entrance of this " field of blood." At a quarter to 12 the first batch of ten prisoners arrived, speedily fol lowed by the rest in similar quantities. Each prisoner (having his hands tied behind his back, and labelled on the tail) appeared to have been thrust down in a winker basket, over which his chained legs dangled loosely, the body riding uncomfortably, and marked with a long paper tally, pasted on a slip of bamboo thrust between the prisoner's jacket and his back. These " man baskets," slung with small cords, were carried on bam boos resting on the shoulders of two men. As the pri soners arrived, each was made to kneel with his faoe to the south. In a space of about 20 feet by 12, we counted as many as 70 ranged in half-a-dozen rows. At five minutes to 12 a white button mariarin arrived, and the two to be first cat in pieces were tied to the crosses. Whilst looking at this frightening process the exeention commenced, and 20 or 30 must have been headlPss before we were aware of it. The only sound to be heard was a horrid cheep—cheep—cheep, as the knives fell. One blow was sufficient for each—the head tumbling between the legs of the victim before it. As the sword falls the blood-gushing trunk springs forward, falls on the breast, and is still for ever. In four minutes the decapitation was complete ; and then on the other victims commenced the barbarity which to think of only is sufficiently barbaric. With a short sharp knife a slice was cut out from under each arm. A low suppressed fearful groan from each followed the operation of the weapon. Dexterous as butchers, a slice was taken successively by the operators from the calves, the thighs, and then from each breast. We may suppose—we may hope—that by this time the sufferers were insensible to pain ; but they were not dead. The knife was then stuck into the abdomen, which was ripped up to the breast bone, and the blade twisted round and round as the heart was separated from its holding. Up to this moment, having once set eyes on the victim under torture, they had become fixed as by fascination ; but they could be rivetted no longer —a whirling sensation ran through the brain, and it was with difficulty we could keep ourselves from falling. But this was not all ; the lashings were then cut, and the head, being tied by the tail to a limb of the cross, was severed from the body, which Was then dismembered of hands and arms, feet and legs, separately. After this the Mandarins left the ground, to return, however, with a man and woman, the latter it was said, the wife of one of the rebel chiefs—the man a leader of some rank. The woman was cut up in the way we have described ; for the man a more horrible punishment was decreed— he was flayed alive. We did not see this, but it was witnessed by the sergeant of Marines of the U.S.S., J. P. Kennedy—the cry, on the first insertion of the knife across the forehead, and the pulling of the flesh over the eyes, being most horrible. But enough ! Such is an episode of this revolution in China—such some of the last acts of the Manchou dynasty. It is impossible such a government can exist much longer. Humanity must make common cause against the demons who can per form deeds such as these. RAILWAY. INTELLIGINCE. MIDLAND. The half -yearly meeting of the proprietors was held yesterday at Derby.
