Lord Panmure has this day received a despatch and its enclosures, of which the following are copies, ad dressed to his lordship by General Simpson. BEFORE SEBASTOPOL, AUG. 28. My Lord,—Since the attempt of the enemy to force the passage of the Tchernaya, on the 16th instant, no movement of aggression has taken place ; but all the ac counts I have received tend to show a disposition on their part to renew the attack. I have considered it necessary to send the Highland Division, composed of the 42d, 71st, 79th, and 93d Regiments, under the com mand of Lieutenant-General Sir C. Campbell, to rein force our extreme right, and they are now encamped on the slopes of the heights overhanging the village of Kamara. I have likewise placed 50 guns and the cavalry in re serve, to act on the first appearance of the enemy. The 56th Regiment has arrived, and I have attached it to the Ist Division. The siege operations are progressing favourably; but, owing to the brightness of the nights, a large amount of work cannot be executed. The raft bridge from the north side to the south shore has been completed, and is actually in use by the enemy, and a considerable increase of troops, with a good deal of movement, is observable in the town. , The installation of the Knights of the Bath took place yesterday at my bead-quarters, and was conducted with great . dignity and solemnity by Viscount Stratford de Redoliffe. The effect was most imposing, attended as the cere mony was by the Naval and Military Commanders-in- Chief of the Allied Forces ; and after the delivery by her Majesty's Ambassador of a peculiarly eloquent discourse upon the character and history of the Most Honourable Order, the several Knights were respectively invested with the insignia of their Crass. I transmit the weekly report of the principal Medical Officer, which shows a decided improvement in the lie tlth of the army, and the lists of casualties to the 26th insf.—l have, Sce., JAMES SIMPSON, \ General Comm an di ng . The Lord P anmure, & c. &c. Ge &c. Encl 1.

BATH, Saturday. —This morning the young man, Thomas Tutton, who is suspected of having administered repeated doses of arsenic te his father, Mr. Chas: Tutton, an auctioneer, and a member of the Bath Town Council, was brought up for his first examination upon the charge of attempted murder. A large crowd had assembled around the Central Police Station, and upon the pri soner being removed in a fly, they followed him to the County Magistratee' Office, where the examination was taken—Mr. Tutton's residence being just beyond the limits of the borough. The court was crowded. The prisoner, who is about 24 years Of age, is well known in this city for his very "fast" habits, and on being placed at the bar he manifested no concern for his positi4n ; but appeared to treat the proceedings with the greatest coolness. He took copious notes of the evidence Sarah Warner, the servant of Mr. Tutton, sen., de tailed at great length the facts of the case. A solicitor, Mr. Wilson, bad bean retained by the prisolier'q friends, but he declined his services, and pro ceeded to eross-examine the witness at great length. Mr. Charles A. Harris, the surgeon who attended Mr.' Tutton, was .next examined, and proyed that the illness. of his patient had been occasioned by arsenic. James Ryan, a*detective officer of the Dublin police, deposed :—Between 4 and 5 o'clock on Wednesday, the sth inst., the prisoner came to the detective office, Lower Castle-yard, Dublin. I was not present at the time, but was sent for, and a newspaper was handed to me by Mr. Superintendent O'Neil, conteinicg some particulars of an attempt to paisbn Mr. Charles Tutton, and of the absence of his son. After I had read a few words, the prisoner said, "I am the person who is referred to in that. I will write a letter to the Times newt.paper this morning denying the whole facts of, the,case." rthen. ahtained the PoliCe Gazelle, and found. his description in it. I asked,. "Ie your name. Tutton:?'' and I.e. replied; " Yes ; Thomas." I told hiM he was described under the head of Murder ;" sed he then asked if his father was dead.. I said, "I believe nof:'; .well, " said he, ;" wham I:get.the other eide rii* all that right." *r then searched bins, and found on him one halfpenny and two keys, and a portion of a letter which he said was a copy of the one he bad sent to the Times. I telegraphed to the chief officer of the police at Bath, and received an answer to bring him over, On board the boat, on the way over from Kingston to Holyhead, the prisoner said, " I shall not be heard before the magistrates when the case is being tried ?" I told him I had no doubt the magistrates would hear what he bad to say. He then said, "If you say nothing against me on this case, you shall be well treated in Bath." I told him anything I had to say I should give it in evidence, let it be for or against him. Cross-examined by the prisoner —You were not drunk when you were on board. I could say nothing again• t you, beyond what.l have now stated. I had not seen the case in the Police Gazette at that time. You did not say that you had written to the Times, but I do not re collect your saying that you had written home, and that you had surrendered yourself immediately you saw it in the paper. There was a torn copy of a letter on your per son, and you said it was a copy of your letter to the Times. ear Hughes then applied for a remand till next Satur day, when he said he should be prepared to complete the ease. After a short consultation, the magrstrates re solved to adjourn the further examination until Satur day next. SPORTING INTELLIGENOE. TATTERSALL'S-SATURDAY.

At Sitka, no American vessels were seen in port. The Port of Archangel has not been deserted by the Russians, and no hostile proceedings against the garrison were contemplated or attempted during the late visit of the allies to the coast of Sitka. The compact between the Russian and British Governments, whereby the Russian-Ameri can Company and the Hudson Bay Company were mutually to be exempt from an assault on laud from either of 'the two belligerent' powers, was completely respected by the allies. The object of their visit seems merely to have been to ascertain whether any naval force belonging to the Czar was to be found in that quarter ; and satisfied upon this point, the admirals did not think proper to exercise a right reserved in the compact—that of blockade. On arriving off the harbour, the allied ships did not enter, but the English and French admirals, with their suites, embarked on board the English steamer Brisk, and entered the port. They were waited upon by a boat from shore, containing the governor's secretary, who communicated the infor mation that, in accordance with the spirit of the treaty between England and their. government, no preparations for defence had been deemed neces sary, and that none had been made. If the French admiral should think proper to assail the town, no resistance would be offered, and they could only ask that they be taken on board the men-of-war as prisoners, for if their defences against the hostile Indians were destroyed and the town burnt, the whole population—men, women, and children— would be at the mercy of the savages, who sur rounded the place in such numbers that their de struction would be inevitable. We believe an understanding of the best nature has always existed between the Russian and the English trading companies, and that in case of emergency, arising from any' difficulty with the Indians, either on the main land or the islands, the one company hold's itself in readiness to' aid the other. Hence , the pacific treaty which we have already referred to. . . The inhabitants of Sitka had an abundance, but as they had not for a long while heard from the nu merous trading posts on the adjacent islands, they were apprehensive that those who filled them were suffering. ("Prom the San Francisco Herald.) , In the early part of last May the allied fleet, augmented by the arrival of other vessels of war, appeared before the devoted town, and commenced preparations for the attack. When they approached sufficiently near to be ;Ale to discern- objects on the shore, they were greatly surprised to find that the American flag had been substituted for the Russian, and that a most extraordinary stillness reigned around. On landing they found that the town had been deserted, and not a sin gle human being remained save two Yankees and a Frenchman who acted as their servant. From them they learned that orders had come from Siberia for the removal of the Russian troops to the garrison at the mouth of the Amoor River, and :that the inhabitants had also fled to the village of :Avatscha, some miles distant. Immediately after the desertion of the place the American flag was ,hoisted by the two Americans, who remained be hind, as a signal to the allied fleet, which it appears was expected. The town, after the desertion of the garrison and the inhabitants, presented of course a very lonely appearance. Packs of dogs scoured through the silent streets in search of food. The houses were all tenantless, and a solemn stillness •reigned around. It appears that, on the repulse of the allies last fall, it was determined to strengthen the fortifications of the place, in order that they might be abl e t og i ve th em a warmer reception on their se cond appearance. ThefortificAtionswere composed of logs o f wood, fascines and earth in thick ness , 9 about 15 f ee t and th e em b rasu r es i n di ca t ed the fact th a t no less th an 51 these o f the 1 • guns were mounted, and heaviest calibre ; but strange to tion and stores couldh e say, not one of the tuns,nor any of the ammuni carried to the Amcor Rivie_ra,yo.r, bTuhreieyd. found by the allies when they arrived there last property waswere The either pro bability is that they were disposed of in the latter way. 'The arsenals, magazioes, &c., which were were burned down by J . prinaipally frame buildings, belonging destroyed. t o the the allies, and all the G:overnrrient which could be found The stores and private dwellings were, however, scrupulously respected. From the two Americans the allies learned the particulars of the exodus of the garrison and the inhabitants. It appears that on the receipt of the news of the defeat, on the first attack, in England, the English screw steame r Barracouta, 14 guns, and the steamer Encounter, 6 guns, were ordered from China to Petropaul ove l d to'watch the movements there. Both lay o ff t h e coast, about 60 miles from Petropanlovski, durin g the whole spring ; but on the 17th April the whole garrison embarked on board the Aurora and the Dwina and 4 merchantmen, and, taking with them all their stores and ammunition, set sail for the DESTRUCTION OF PETROPAULOVSSI. In a portion of our impression on Saturday *e reported the destruction of the fortifications of Petropaulovski, the capital of Kamschatka, and the flight of its Russian garrison. The correspondent of the New York Journal of Commerce, writing on. August Ist from San Francisco, where her Ma jesty's ship Monarch and several ships of the French Pacific fleet were at that date, says : The allied fleet, w hi c h sa il e d f rom t h e Sandwich Island in the spring to attack Petropaulovski, has returned to San Francisco. They found that the Russians had left Petropaulovski for the Amoor River. The allies destroyed the fortifications on the Bay of Avatscha, and after cruising in a vain search for the Russian frigates came to San Fran cisco. There are now at San Francisco the British ships Monarch, 84 guns, and President, 62 guns ; also the French shipi La Forte, Eurydice, Alceste, and brig Obligado. Admiral Bruce and staff were on board the Pre sident, but designed transferring his flag to the Monarch, the flag ship of the squadron. The allied fleet, consisting of eight war vessels and steamers, arrived off Petropaulovski on the 15th of May, but the garrison had aires dy left for the Amoor River, in the Russian frigate Aurora, corvette D wing, and two merchant vessels. The escape of the garri son was a master stroke on the part of the Russians, who availed themselves of a dense fog which set in on the night of the 17th of April, and so eluded the English war steamer Encounter (screw) 7 of 14 guns, and Baracontre . (side- w h ee l), o f 6 guns, which had been blockading the harbour for 50 days previous. The orders to evacuate were received from the Rtis sian head-quarters in Siberia. On anchoring in the harbour a detachment was sent on shore by the com manders of the fleets—Rear-Admiral Bruce, of the English, and Rear-Admiral Fourichon (a newly-ap pointed and exceedingly energetic man, of only 45' years of age), of the French. They landed and found the town deserted, save by about 100 Kains chatka dogs, a French naturalised American, and two Americans, who raised the stars and stripes over their houses when the forces landed, claiming that, as the Russians had abandonedthe place and left it to them, they were the possessors of the soil. These men are engaged in trading, and are repre sented as doing a good business. The dogs were in a starving condition, and followed the invaders about town for bits of biscuit. The following day after the arrival of the allies the destruction of the fortifications commenced. 'These were fascines constructed of immense logs, the walls being 16 feet in thickness. Such was their strength, they resisted all efforts for sometime, and were finally razed to the ground rbs the' agency of powder. It appears that the policy of the Russian Government bad changed rather suddenly in this matter. After the battle of last year orders came for strengthening the fort; and, though at that time such.a resistance was made as to .repel the assail ants; there being but one tier of guns, it was ordered to increase it to a double tier. • The destroyers found embrasures for 51 guns of heavy calibre. We have been shown adespatch, dated in Petro paulovski, from Rear-Admiral. Fourichon, of the French fleet, in which he states, after briefly reca pitulating the facts above enumerated, that the Rus- Sianl,?arrison, numberin g ( as Le Joltrne/ informs us) some 1,200 men, had doubtless sa il e d f o r th e mouth of' the Amoor Riv6r, which drains the south por tion of Siberia, and flows Into the Gulf of Saghalien, an arm of the Sea of Ochotsk. They left for this point on the nth of April, and were doubtle , :s there before the French and English arrived at Kam schatka. This river is regarded as the dividing ling between China and Asiatic Russia,"and at its mouth is a very strong series of fortifications, which have been greatly strengthened from time to time by the Russians. It is, thought by some'of the officers of tlie 0 bligado that the immense armament of Petre , pauldvski was carried there with the garrison ; ; s 2,lq, if this be true, there will be a, western Sebas- Wil.inV,,,m3y puzzle the allies as much as has AfOiteo'neliSid of the Crimea. . The report that Admiral Bruce had 'entered the harbour of New Archangel in the British steamer Brisk is confirmed.. Whilst there lie succeeded in effecting with the Russians an exchange of a few prisoners. Three Russians have been exchanged for one Englishman and one Frenchman, the latter being so severely wounded that he was not ex pected to recover. Her Britannic Majesty's frigate Pique, Captain Nicholson, had sailed 'for the river Amoor, in Rus sian possessions in Asia, and thence for China. The British frigate Dido and steamer Brisk, were to touch at Vancouver's Island, and thence to this port. - /1" 1 Moen., .-1 - _ • • THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY .7V !N SEPTEMBER 10 1 Amoor River. The movement was not perceived on board the English steamers in consequence of the thickness of the weather, occasioned by the snow and fogs. The inhabitants all moved to the village of Avatscha, where the wife of the com mandant also remained, not being able to proceed with the troops in consequence of the delicate state of her health at that time. Before leaving the allies destroyed all the fortifications, and erected a fence around the g raves o f Admiral Price and the English and French who fell on that occasion, having been drawn into an ambuscade while marching upon one of the batteries by which the harbour was protected. It is difficult to divine what were the reasons of the Russians in abandoning the place. It was well fortified both by nature and art, and the result of the first attack shOwed that the place could be successfully defended even against a larger force than the allies could muster in the Pacific. The Obligado, , Captain De Rosencourt, left at Petropaulovski the British vessel of war Trinco malee, on board of which two Russian prisoners had been placed for the purpose of exchanging them for a French sailor who had both his arms cut off in the attack made on the place by the allies last fall, and was afterwards captured by the Russians. It is stated that he received the kindest treatment. The British frigates Pique and Amphitrite, after the destruction .of th e wor k s at Petropaulovski, sailed for the Ochotsk Sea, and the remainder of the fleet for Sitka. The Euglish vessels will pro ceed to Vancouver's Island, and the French to this port. A portion of the fleet will remain at the north for the present, and will cruise around the Aleutian Islands. The French steamer Prony may be expected here in a few days. The population of Petropaulovski, previous to the arrival of the allied fleet, is estimated by. Capt. Rosencourt, of the Obligaclo, to whom we are indebted for the above information, to have been about 1,200. Capt. ROsencourt br oug ht back with him as tro• phies'a sledge used by the inhabitants in travelling over the snow with dogs, an anchor found in Pe tropaulovski, a deer, and a Russian dog. The Obligado mounts 12 guns, 32 pounders, and two mountain howitzers, such as are used against the Indians in this country, and generally carried on the backs of mules. These were intended to be used on land, and all the vessels of the fleet were provided with them. The principal object of the visit of the allied fleet to Petropaulowski was to dismantle that place, and deprive the Russian men-of war and merchantmen of a shelter in case the allies should get in pursuit of them. Heretofore, there have been about sixty Russian merchantmen which met yearly at Petro paulovski, after having traded along the coasts of Northern Asia and America, on which latter coast the Russians have a number of trading 'Amts. Theso.vessels collect very valuable furs and walrus teeth, whalebone, some precious stones, and other less important articles of traffic—the total value of the merchandise collected annually being about 2,000,000 , dollars. This trade was the life of the Russian American Company, and this year it has been entirely destroyed. The vessels have disappeared —taking shelter probably in small inlets of the sea in remote points. The allied fleets searched diligently among the Aleutian Islands, where the vessels are usually the most numerous, but not one was to be found. It is supposed that the allied squadron for the Chinese Seas, which went to visit the Amoor will likewise vi s it I van , a port upo n 'th e S ea of Ochotsk, which next to Petrodaulovski was the most important Russian trading station on the Pacific. The following description of the town of Petro paulovski, from a •work entitled the " Directory of the Pacific Ocean," by A. G. Findlay, may not prove uninteresting :—" The town of Petropaulov ski, which is now at the head of the harbour, stands in an amphitheatre on the slope of two hillq, which form the valley, and is simply composed of a gfoup of small . wooden houses covered with reeds or dry grass, and surrounded by courts and gar dens with palisades. At the lower part of the town, in the bottom of the valley, is the church. It is remarkable for its fantastic construction, and for its roof, which, painted green, seems to add considerably to the effect of the picture, surrounded as it is with lofty mountains. Arrived at the bottom of the port, you land on a plank which holds the place of a mole, and pass directly before a guard-house, near which is a small battery. Turning to the left, down a good street, broad and macadamised, after passing the Govern ment workshops,in the centre of Petropaulowski, and turning to the right after passing them, and ()tossing a wood en b r id ge , you pass t h e church on the right hand, and then you reach the Govern ment offices. These two streets are all that merit the name. The greater part of the houses outside of them are placed without any arrangement and without any attempt at convenience or comfort. The general appearance of Petropaulovski greatly resembles the French establis,hment at Newfound land.- The appearance of the fish dryers' houses, and the strong smell of fish, give a greater degree to the similitude. The houses are generally alike and are called Isbas (log houses), the windows are sometimes of glass, but more generally of talc, from Ochotsk. When La Perouse visited it the inhabi tants generally lived on balagnans ; now there is not a single one so used. There is not a monument in Petropaulovski except one, a :simple column surmounted by a globe, surrounded by a railing, which bears an inscrip tion To Capt. Vitus Behring,' in Russian. No edifiee demands particular attention. In the church the rites of the Greek Church are conducted with great richness and solemnity. There is, besides, an hospital and a school." THE CHANNEL ISLANDS AND THEIR NAVIGATION. The Channel Islands are surrounded with numerous rocks of every imaginable shape, size, and height, abov e and below the su r f ace o f th e water. They look like the jagged teeth of marine monsters, formed purposely for tearing ships to pieces.. Between and around these rocks the tide forms currents, which flow in every direction, rendering the navigation as difficult and dangerous as that of any part of the world. This might be supposed from the numerous vessels lost annually on those rocks, although often commanded by pilots and natives of the islands. So dangerous is the navigation near Guernsey and Jersey, that the mail steamers to and from Eng land never reach the Channel Islands by night, and always leave them by day. In the daytime, how ever, mists, fogs, and snow storms, will often ,deter the commanders of mails from attempting to thread their way between the granite chevaux de frieze that surround and guard the islands. Although when there is any wind the sea is fearfully rough in the neighbour- ' hood of Jersey and Guernsey, the crews of the packets dislike a calm because of the mists which often then obscure the rocks ; and daring fogs and storms all per sons on board feel grateful when the Caskets, Sark, the Corbiere, or any other light, islet, or headland near Jer sey or Guernsey is made out. If the weather is thick, the captains of the mail packets are often obliged to come to an anchor until it clears off. It is curious that in the paissage between the Needles and the islands, the routes taken by the packets vary from time to tithe as widely apart as twenty miles. This arises from the necessity of taking advantage of the currents, during different winds, and states of tide, for the sake of speed, and to avoid dangers. The most dangerous route is through the Racs of Alderney, a narrow pas. sage close to that island. Much time is saved by pro ceeding through the race, -hut it is not often that it can be attempted. Although 600 or 700 passengers pass to and from the Channel Islands and England weekly by the mail packets; not a serious accident has happened to the packets for year?. This is in a great measure owing to the long expiTience which Captains Babot and Goodridge, the commanders of the mail steamers, have had. They k now th e s h ape, pos i tion, and name, of every rock and roc kl e t, whether submerged or above water, that they have to pass ; and they know, also, the strength And direction of the innumerable currents they have to encounter at every particular part of their voyage. Some time ' since Captain Goodridge was overtaken by a storm near the islands, and the weather became at length so thick that . he was obliged to come to an anchor. Night was coming on, and he made up his mind for a long stay. By looking intently around him he fortunately made out the dim outline of the form of the peak of one of the rocks which studded the sea around him, and by this he knew precisely whereabouts he was.' In the course of the night the storm and dark ness increased, and he heard cries of distress. Re sent a boat's crew towards the snot whence the cries came, to r.nder assistanee r and with mnoh difficulty, for the boat was ready swamped, brought off the captain and crew of a Fr. neh vessel that was entangled among the racks, and was bumping violently agaiest them. Time French com mander, when he. got on board Capt. Goodridge's ship, firmly believed his vessel had by that time gone do wn ; but Captain Goodridge having ascertained that she was laden With brandy, and other floatable, but valuable, cargo, was convinced that she would not sink, and that when the tide ebbed; she would be found at a particular Cane in a certain direction, and resolved to go in search of her ; this intention, however, he kept to himself Accordingly when that time was approaching he ordered steam to be got up, and although'it was pitch dark, be ,threaded his way cautiously for some considera& dis tanee, 'when his look-out man rung out in alariara , A rock ahead, sir." Captain Goodridgo, however, did not heed !dui, and in a moment they were right along. side the French brandy vessel, which the look-out man bad mistaken for a rock. The surprise of the French captain may be imagined. When it was light, Captain Goodridge towed the abandoned vessel into Guernsey, and the Royal Court of that island awarded him 7501. salyage money. . • A STRATED htisbani thus announces the departure feom hiii bed and board 'of his dearly beloved: —` ryly wife, Anne Maria, has strayed or been stolen.

SPIRIT OP THE PUBLIC JUUiLVALS. (From the Times of Otis clay.) In the address of Lord Stanley to the Manchester and Liverpool Agricultural Society it is easy to recognise the honest and painstaking young nobleman who went to the West Indies for the purpose of seeing with his own eyes the condition of the emancipated blacks and unprotected planters. He goes into the matter before him in proper businesslike style, stating what had been done, what is now in progress, and what, in his opinion, agriculturists have to look forward to. All this he does with a rigorous exactness and a degree of simplicity and candour very much contrasted with the more eloquent and seductive addresses that used to be heard at these meetings. There is evidently not the least desire to put the best leg foremost, to avoid disagreeable topics and unpleasant allusions. This has been done so often that even the soft and credulous nature of the British farmer must be proof against it. But if there ever was a time when the truth ought to be spoken to the sen sitive agriculturist it is the present, when the war, which is every dray streiter.ing most other classes more and more, sustains the price of food . at a height far above all ordinary calculations of profit. If there is anybody in these days who ought to be laying by for had times, it is the British farmer ; and as he lays by his money, so also ought he, to store up good advice. So Lord Stanley's address is a word in season. He ad vises the farmers of Lan cashire to omit no opportunity of improvement, not to grudge the trifling expense of a guinea subscription to the society, to look about for the very best implements, to enter into any arrangements that may be made for showing the use of them where the smallness of the holding will not allow of the purchase, to prepare for two or three farms being thrown into one fur the sake of better husbandry, to cultivate every acre that is not wholly irreclaimable, to look fur the guano nearer home if it can be precured, and, in a word, to follow the ex ample of other arts and sciences, all of them ever on the move. It is a specimen of Lord Stanley's other advice, and of a plea with his own honesty, that ho advises the farmer to answer any questions that may be put to him with a view to the collection ef agricultural statistics. It has been intimated to him that our farmers woti'd not like to lit their landlords know exactly how much they expect to get from their lands, while others think it a piece of impertinence in the State to ask any questions about a man's private affairs. The extreme seclusion in which many farmers live, the importance they enjoy in their own little domain, and their general ignorance of politics may excuse this objection. But they ought to be informed that all other classes submit in more than one way to the prying eyes of the St ito The manu facturers is inspected at every turn. Besides that the nation knows to a pound the quantity of cotton wool imported every year ; it also knows to a yard, and a pennywoith, the quantity of manufactured cotton goods that lea• e the island. The reaeufacturer is bound to make returns of the ages of his younger operativee, to ernplo ; them only in such and such hours, to provi le for the youngest schools open to inspectors, and, to pass over other minute inquiries to which he is subject, he may be called on to lay all his books open to the Com missioners of Income tax. S.) the farmers are under a conehlera,ble rnsteke is they think that they are the cnly peel le whose affsirs tee State pry into. But, after all, it is the farmer who is especially int(reet in the col'cc tion of trustworthy agricultural statistics, as nobody suffers so much by the present want of them. He sells his crop in the dark, and is generally taken in. Such is the tone of the advice Lord Stanley gives to the farmer, and it deserves to be well received. Undoubtedly same of these suggestions are very dis agreeable, send Lard S anley does not take much pains to sweeten them. For example, the hint about the small scale of the Lanca , hire holdings will be set down by mane peoele as not only unkind, but very unpoeti cal. We believe that many very excellent persons tnink that ih smal er the farm the greater the content, the virtue, and ermi the prosperity of the occupier, till perhaps they would pat their ideal of a per fect farm at four acres or thereabouts. Of course it cannot he denied that small farms are more tolerable is a dairy district, such as that round the large towns of Lancashire ; 'out, under all circumstances, they are chiefly remit kable for slovenliness, irregularity, help lessness, and all that is usually comprised in the idea of had condition. The small farmer has not enough time, or money, or skill for any one pursuit. Everything, therefore, goes wrong about hint. He cannot afford to pay labourers regularly or well ; he cannot afford good sewants : he cani.ot afford that cheerful, abundant, yet e:onomiral home which is the best school of rural vir tues. The small farmer is generally a very poor trea t ere, a very ignorant creature, and often a very dissolute cr ature, from the circumstance of his not having either the hani teaching of extreme poverty, the chains of ser vice, or the responsibility and self-respect of a better con dition. There is no class of life in which domestic rela tiens of an equivocal charact , rso widely prevail as in that of cm Ilfaemers. There is none in which education is so little valued. There is none so inaccessible to the higher influences of a civili , ed country. Some may be sorry to see it aflogether destroyed, but it prodices little more than picturesque farm-, tumble:-dawn walls, dilapidated outheuses, gates that have reared to swing, fences that have ceated to interfere with the movements of cattle, bridges that are no longer safe, and ditches that no longer favour the flow of water. If you want hedges that assume the luxuriance of thickets and harbour every variety of British bird—if you want fields favourable for botanising, cot tages that would adorn any album, and cattle that a Morland would naturally str p to sketch, and, finally, boors that a Teniers (Sr a. Wilkie would make a memo rundurn of. you will fad them in the sm farms of the dairy d;stricts, which send out penniless adventurers, hit whose occupiers are still more wretched than those who are sent out. We are quite sure that no landlord need ever In t himself for the supposed wrongs of those who have been to look out for themselves by the union of small farms in larger on's: The process is the greatest benefit to the country, to the labourer, and, eVe are satisfied, to the small farmers thems-Ives. Lord Stanley deserves our thanks for recommendine the process as a public benefit in defience ef the prejudices of those who take a picturesque view of the question. On the other hand—and it is a very fair set-off against this suggestion—Lord Stanley contends for the liberty of selling land on the part of the lendowoer. Settlements and the technicalities of'conveyance make it morally iin psseible in this country for a landowner to do what ha likes with his own. There are many situations out of the category of common farming in which a landowner might sell very ordinary land at 1001. an Acre, if he could do it at all or at the expense of 51. an acre fir the conveyance. No reason can be given why this should not be permitted. We have heard of a case where a town which had been intoler ably dissolute and ill-conditioned in all respects dated a very startling improvement from the time when a new landowner, who had nearly all the property around it, opened a market, so to speak, for the sale of his land. But there are many other occasions in which a landowner wants to sell his land, and cannot do it, even when there is no contrary interest in question. As Lord Stanley says, be does not want an Encumbered Estates Act, but if property is to become more and more involved every year, we shall be driven to some such resource before many years. Already a great deal of land and other property of a high estimated value is quite as worthless to its owners as if it were in another planet or had been swallowed up in the sea. Without falling into any ex treme and fantastic theory about the soil, we must say that it is the duty of the State to promote, by all lawful means, its conversion to the largest profit and the greatest variety of uses. The whole population bas an interest in it, not only that it may be made to produce the greatest quantity of food, and contribute most to the national wealth, but also that it may be made the means of the utmost enjoyment to all. There are very few men who can ever attain to the occupation of land, still fewer who can hope for the pride of possession ; but the soil may be made the means of increased wealth, happi ness, and even security to all, and he is indeed a great benefactor to his'country who shows how this may be done, and himself leads the way. A VERY MYSTERIOUS CASE.-At the bench of magis trates, on Monday (present—the Mayor, A. Bigge, and Montagu Scott, Ecirs.), a female who gave her name Sophia Baker, asked the advice of the Bench under the following very extraordinary circumstances :—The appli cant stated that she went with a female friend into the shop of Mr. Walley, East-street, called "Ye House of Lud," for the purpose of purchasing a silk dress. An assistant met them at the door, and politely bowed them in. After looking at certain articles, which did not suit her, she was about to leave, when the assistant, being de termined that she should be a customer, politely handed her to another part of the shop, and showed her other goods, and ultimately prevailed upon her to have a piece of silk cut off for a dress, the price being 22.. She took out her purse, expecting to find in it two half-sane reigne, knowing that she had carefully placed them there before she went into the shop ; but, to her utter astonishment, she found the purse, which she had fastened with a clasp, open, one of the half sovereigns gone, and the other loose in her pocket. Having expressed her great surprise at the circumstance, she said that she could not pay for the dress ; but the assistant sail it was cut off, and she must have it. The friend of the applicant threatened to Fend for a police 7; man ; and a considerable sensation was produced in the shop searching for the missing half-sovereign. At length Mr. Walley offered to take what money she had for the dress ; and if on her return she found the half- Sovereign, she was to return it to him, but if not, she might keep the dress. Applicant took the dress ;an I then came to the Bench. The chief officer of police ob served that this was not the first time persons had com plained of having their pockets picked in that shop. Mr. Walley was sent for ; and, on making his appear aece, the circurnistences were repeated, and Mr Walley said, rather than have any disturbance he a'- lowed the applicant to take the dress away for the half sovereign. Mrs. Reed, applicant's friend, said it was not till after that she had threatened to call in a police man, that applicant was allowed to take the dre.ei away for half a sovereign. Mr. Bigge said it did not appear to be a case in which the magistrates could grant a warrant ; but it was a very suspicious affair. Mr. Scott said the worst part of the case was that Mr. Walley should have reduced the price of the dress 60 per cent. when a policeman was talked of. This appeared to him to compromise the matter, and create great suspicion. Not only did it seem to ccm promise the case, but it also compromised the character of the establishment. If Mr. Walley liked, he might bring forward his men to clear his shop from that sTpi eion which the statements of applies,nt. and her friend were calculael to ex c it e . Mr. Walley declined to do so,. preferri ng t o l et the matter rest w h ere was,— Brzykon Gazette. Naval and Military Intelligence. The steam-ship Perseverance, with the 94th Regiment, was off Plymouth at 5 o'clock on Friday morning, bound to the Mediterranean. The flag-ship Impregnable 104, Captain Wise, w as inspected in H amoaze on Friday by Admiral Parker. A field battery of four guns and two howitzers of the Royal Artillery, accompanied by a detachment of the let company of the 13th battalion, consisting of between 140 and 150 men, and a large number of horses, arrived at Yarmouth on Wednesday. They proceeded to the Danes, where they encamped. Tho detachment is under the command of Capt. Mountain and three Lieutenants. The camp consists of 22 spacious tents. A military medical board was held at the invalid depot, Brompton, on Saturday, Mr. George Bused! Dartnell, Deputy-Inspector of Hospitals, presiding, when 111 of the sick and wounded were considered sufficiently convalescent to be discharged. Notices have been issued warning men who belong to the Naval Coast Volunteers not to enlist in the regi ments of the Line, the Militia, or the East India Com pany's service, as they will thereby render themselves liable to be imprisoned for six months. To-morrow a grand banquet will be given to Sir George Brown by the inhabitants of the town and county of Elgin, of which be is a native, in the Trinity-lodge As sembly Reruns, Elgin, to celebrate his return to his na tive country, and to evince their respect and admiratien for his gallant services to his country. Provost Grant will preside on the occasion, and the Duke of Richmond and all the gentry in the county are expected to be pre sent, as are also the members of the Corporation and all the influential re'idents in Elgin. On Saturday a party of 76 invalide, of various corps, with one woman and two children, in charge of Lieut. G. W. Munster, 77th, with Surgeon Coles, M.D., 23d Royal South Glocester Militia in medical charge, arrived at Chatham. They arrived at Portsmouth on Friday night, in the steam transport Emeu, from the hospital at Malta, which place they left on the 25th of August. With the invalids were four serjeants and 25 privates of the Ambulance Corps, who came from Balaklava. On their arrival at the Strood station they were receiyed.by Lieut. and Adjutant James Pope, Staff-officer of the Invalid Depot, and Dr. Fyffe, 30th Regiment, with a fatigue party of soldiers, to render assistance to the in valids. After the necessary medical examination 17 were selected and forwarded to the supplemental hospi tal, Brompton ; two, who were insane, were taken to the hospital at Fort Pitt ; the remainder were removed in vans to the Casemate Barracks, Brompton. During the passage two soldiers died—viz , Privates Weston, Rifle Brigade,'and George Spurgings, 97th Regiment. Colour-Sergeant N. Conlin, of the 25th Regiment, who was attached to the depot at Chatham. has received 'a pension of 2s. 6d. a-day after a service of nearly 25 years; he has els - ) received the good-conduct medal. Since the 25th came from India he has received the staff appoint ment as Sergeant-Major, pf the Garrison. Capt. Lawrence and Lieut. Horsey, of the Royal Marine Artipery, arrived at 'Sheerness on Saturday to take charge of and condutt to head-quarters at Ports mouth the Royal Marine Artillery detachments serving in the nine mortar-vessels lately returned from the Baltic. The steam-vessel Fearless, Master-Commander Bourchier, collected from their respective vessels and proceeded with them for Chatham Marine Barracks. They will leave Chatham this morning for Portman b. An early inquiry is ordered to take pla ce a t Sh eerness by a committee of o ffi cers appointed by the Admiralty and Ordnance Departments, to ascertain the cause of the bursting of the mortars. We understand that all the principal and non-commissioned officers of the Marine Artillery, under whose charge the mortars were when in action, are to be present to give such evideuce as may be required of them as to the number of rounds fired from each mortar, with the period occupied and the weight of charges of powder used on the several ocoasiclis- Sergeant-Major James Phelps, 22d Regiment, died suddenly in Plymouth Citadel on Friday afternoon. The deceased gave orders to the bugler to sound the call for non-commissioned officere, and tben retired to the orderly room, where, he was found alone five minutes afterwards extended on his back in a fit of apoplexy. He was a native of Glacestershire, about 30 years of age, and had been upwards of 11 years on service in the East Indies, whence the regiment returned in July. His com mission as an ensign was being prepared at the Horse Guards, and would have been in his possession to-mor row. MILITIA. The Hampshire Regiment of Infantry Militia, now stationed at Winchester, has for some time been gra dually increasing in numbers, and it ie expected tha4 after harvest operations arc over a considerable number of recruits will he obtained, as well as many t f the old soldiers who claimed their discharge last spring. In oar,- sequence of the recent letter from the Horse Guards, d e . siring colonels of militia regiments in billets to allow a certain proportion of neir men t o go h ome during the harvest, about 100 men of this regiment have had a fur lough granted them for five weeks. On their return they will probably bring a considerable number of recruits. The men of the West Essex Militia, 300 of whom were allowed a furlough to assist in the harvest-field, are re turning with the greatest regularity. At present there has not been a defaulter. The Queen's Own Worcestershire Yeomanry Cavalry is now on permanent duty at Worcester, under the com mand of Colonel Lord War], who has just returned from the Crimea, and whose re-appearance in Worcestershire was celebrated by bell inging, &c. The regiment is 800 strong. The c:lenel has provided each trooper with a new saddle and bridle, and a small portmanteau, to be strapped behind the saddle, in lieu of the havresack, to which the men objected. The regiment will be reviewed 1 on Wednesday next.

Smith, of the Waterloo, was ordere.i to proceed with her in charge pro tem. to Pcrrtstnnuth, in consequenu of her commander being under arrest, awaiting a court martial on a serious charge, for which he will be tried at Portsmouth. She left on Saturday afternoon for that port. The Castor, 36-gun frigate, left Sheerness on Saturday last at 7.30 a.m., assisted by the stearn•vessel Lizard, Lieut. Thomas B. Chrietepher in charge pro tent. from the flagship Waterloo. The Lizard was under orders to attend her to Portsmouth if the wind proved unfavour able. She will there receive her final orders for the Cape of Good Hope. The Neptune, 120, Capt. Hutton, St. George, 120, Capt. Eyres, C. 8., the Malacca, 17, Capt.

The squadron goes to pay homage to the King of Portugal on his coming to the throne on the 16th inst. (Sunday next), and to assist in inaugurating that event. The Sanspateil, 71, steam-ship, Ca,pt. Williams, which is to proceed to the Black Sea tc-day with mortars and muni tions of war, is also ordered to put in at Lisbon with the same object. Theste orders were communicated to the several captains and Commanders at Portsmouth , in Saturday by Rear Admiral the Right Hen. Sir M. F. F. Berkeley, K.C.8., M.P., who arrived from the Ad miralty that afternoon. The Neptune has about 900 men and boys on her books, but the St. George has not above 600, and these, for the most part, novices. The Sanspareil embarked upwards at 200 well-trained boys yesterday afternoon from the various training ships at Portsmouth, fn. service in the Black Sea fleet. The Hollander steam transport, No. 223, arrived at Spithead yesterday from the East, but without any invalids. The Rosamond went to Spithead on Saturday evening to be in attendance upon the Neptune. The Fox, 42, was docked at Portsmouth on Saturday, to be converted to a screw storesbip. The Arabia steam-transport, No. 95, Captain Stone, went into Portsmouth harbour on Saturday morning to land the following officers and invalided troops :—Lieu tenant-Colonel the Hon.
