CITY, Two o'CLoots.. The cotton market at Liverpool yesterday closed steadily, and in some cases of low id. per lb. dearer than on Friday last. The sales were estimated at 15,000 bales (4,000 of which were taken on specu lation and 2,500 for export), comprising 200 Pernam and Maranham at 6id. to 7d., 400 Bahia at 900 Egyptian at Gd. to 9id., and 1,000 Surat at Cd. to 5.1y1. per lb. The Railway Share Market closed firmly, at an advance of to per cent. Business in some of the continental bourses is reported very dull. Messrs. Rothschild have given notice that they intend making up a list for the Turkish loan. Ap plications to be sent in before to-morrow after noon, accompanied by alO per cent. deposit. It is expected that the contractors for the late loan, Mr. Horsley Palmer and Baron Goldsmid, will also tender. The speculators will emliarrass the contractors, for they are dealing already by anti cipation at very wild prices, and have called the premium 3 to 4 per cent., without having the slightest idea what will be the price at which the loan will be tendered for. In the leading columns of The Suit lengthened reference has been made on several occasions to the cruel position of the Buenos Ayreau Bond holders, and it seems by a correspondence which has been carried on, that unless our Government energetically supports the claims of its subjects they have not much chance of redress. The committee of Spanish American Bondholders have just received letters from their agent at Buenos Ayres, detailing the exertions of H. B. M., Vice-Consul there, to get a resumption of dividend payments, and the following letter, being the reply of that gentleman to one from the President, will explain how his representations were met " Bdenos Ayres, 23(1 June, 1855. " In reference to the letter addressed by the undersigned to his Excell-ncy, on the 11th inst., in reply to a commu nication of the 6th inst., from his Excellency, refusing to admit of any official interference ou the part of her Ma jesty's Government, in behalf of her subjects, holders of the British loan, the undersigned has once more to impress earnestly upon his Excellency, that her 31.jesty' Govern ment has, in the full exercise of her right, taken a real in terest in the adjustment of this debt by the State•of Buenos Ayres, and it is now with mu c h regre t th a t theyhave learnt the result of the representation made to them on the suiiject, by the undersigned, in August last. Her Majesty's Government have observed that the State of Buenos Ayres is now no longer prevented by the bad con dition of the revenue, or by the embarrassment of civil war, from meeting her engagements —on the contrary, the means at the disposal of the Government of Buenos Ayres appear to them amply sufficient to en able the State to adopt the honest course of satisfying her foreign et e litors ; but it has already appeared to her Ma jesty's Government, from the answer of his Excellency, that the Buenos Ayres Government are determined to persist in the course they have hitherto pursued towards the British bondholders, leaving unpaid the greater por tion .of the interest due to them, which opinion will be confirmed when her Majesty's Government learn further the direct opposition made to the official appeals of the undersigned, and at the same time the utter neglect of the commissioner of the bondholders, who, during the eighteen months he has resided at Buenos Ayres, has not advanced one step towards a settlement of the claims, not withstanding the most creditable and considerate exertions on his part. It would appear, under these circum-tances, that no real intenti ons ex i s t e d on the part, of the Govern ment of Buenos Ayres to satisfy these British creditors, and that they are acting under the belief that the matter wi:l be allowed to remain in its present most unsatisfac tory state ; the undersigned has now, therefore, distinctly to inform his Excellency, and through him the Govern ment of Buenos Ayres, that, although her Majesty's Government have hitherto abstained from enforcing those claims, in the belief that a regard for national honour and good faith would have induced the Buenos Ayrean Go vernment to satisfy their British creditors, such forbear. ance may have its limits. " The undersigned avails himself of this opportunity, &c. (Signed) " FRANK PARISH. "His Excellency Dr. Don Franco Porteta. &c., &c., &c." The English Stock market has been firm, but the business doing continues limited. Consols have Keen 9O to 911 for transfer, and 911 to .1 for ac count. The New 3 per Cents. have realised 921 and the Reduced 91i to Exchequer-bills are 14s. pm. for those yielding 2kd. per cent. per diem, and India Bonds 2Gs. pm. The Omnium is 44 to 4:g premium. Foreign Securities have been very quiet, with the single exception of Turkish, which continue buoyant, and have risen to 93i and 93g for trais- fer, being 934 to 94 for account. Russian Bonds have been firm at 1001 for the Five per Cents. Spanish Threes have been at 37, Chilian at 105, and Brazilian at 1021. Dutch Fuur per Cents. are 961- to 964.. The following are the nominal prices of foreign stocks :—Grenada Deferred Bonds, 7 to 7 ; Mexican, 21i to 21i ; Peruvian, 81 to 82i ; ditto Three per Cents., 59 to 60 ; Portuguese Four per Cents., 43 to 45 ; Russian Five per Cents., 100 to 102 ; ditto Four-and-a- Half per Cents., 89 to 91 ; Spanish New Deferred, 181 to 19: ditto Three per Celts., 37 to 37,' ; ditto Certificates, 41 to 44 ; ditto Passive, 4 to 4/.

The prisoner was remanded till to-morrow week. BOW-STREET. Two women, one Sims and the other Damon,d, were placed at the bar charged with robbing the lodging of a working man named Hawkins, in Clement's-lane. From the evidence of the prosecutor, it appeared that on Tuesday last, on his return home in the afternoon, he found his room door broken open, and three gowns, a Cloak, counterpane, quilt, some shirts, and, in fact, all the moveables in the room stolen. It appeared from the evidence that Desmond took the property to a friend's house, and represented to them that Sims had had the brokers in her lodgings for rent, but that she had removed the things she had brought to save them from the execution, and under the circumstances she hoped they would allow them to remain with them for a few days. Yesterday morning Desmond went to the lodgings of the friend in question, a person of the name of Brennan, residing in Wild-court, and took away the things, which she sold for Gs. The policeman produced a portion of the property, which the prosecutor had identified as his, and stated that he found it in the possession of a person named Kinghorn, who kept a small broker's shop in Great White Lion•street. The prisoners were remanded in order to give time to the police to find the remainder of the property. SOUTHWARK. ROBBING A BROTHER.- LAMENTABLE CASE. Charles Lewen, a young lad about 14 years of age, was brought before Mr. Combe, charged with stealing a silver watch and chain, the property of his brother, Edwin Lewen, under the following circumstances : The prosecutor, a respectable-looking young man, "said he was clerk to a foreign wool merchant in the Bo rough, and resided with his parents. His brother (the prisoner) also lived there, but was a very bad lad. On Sunday morning, at an early hour, he absconded from the house, when witness missed his watch and chain from his bed-room. He gave information to the police, and last night his brother was apprehended, when the watch was traced to a house at Dockhead, where the prisoner had disposed °Lit. Mr. Combe—Does your brother follow any occupa tion ? Prosecutor—Yes, sir, he is employed at a public house. Mr. Combe—ln what capacity ? Prosecutor— As pot-boy. Mr. Combe—That is not a very pro per situation for him, as there are so many inducements to associate with bad characters. Prosecutor—He has had very good situations, and if he had conducted him self properly he might have been in a situation equally respectable as myself, but he is a very bad lad. Mr. Combe— Has he ever robbed you before ? Prosecutor Yes, sir ; a few weeks ago he broke open my box and stole ten shillings, which I had saved. Mr. Combe— Do yo wish to prosecute him. Prosecutor—Oh no, sir, I should not like to prosecute him, he is my bro ther ; but I should like '''FOu to give him some punish. ment which might have a tendency to drive him from his evil ways. Mr. Combe, to the prisoner—What have you to say in answer to the charge ? You see how kind your brother is ; he don't want to prosecute you. Pri soner (attempting to cry)—l don't know, sir. I did steal the watch, and I can't tell what made me do it. Mr. Combe—But you likewise broke open your bro ther's box and stole ten shillings he had saved. What have you to say to that ? Prisoner—Nothing at all, sir. Mr. Combo—l am afraid you are a regular thief, and I shall commit you to prison for one month, and order you to be once privately whipped. I hope that will be ,of service to you, and when you come out of prison be more honest. HIS DAY'S NEWS CITY SHERIFFS' COURT-1 'THIS DAY). (Before Russell Gurney, Esq., Q.C.) RAILWAY LIABILITY.-IMPORTANT CASE.-SPRING V. THE LONDON AND NORTH-WESTERN RAILWAY COMPANY. This was an action brought by the plaintiff, a mer chant, against the defendants, to recover 241. 19s. 3d. "damages, by reason of the excessive delay in carrying six bags of cochineal, entrusted by plaintiff to the de fendants as carriers from London to Liverpool." Mr. Gifford appeared for the defendants. The plaintiff sent, on the 7th of April, six bags of cochineal to Messrs. Pickford and Co., the defendants' agents, "to be for warded that evening by rail " to Messrs. J. 'Webster and Co., of Liverpool, for shipment to America, and as the markets were falling at the time it was essentially necessary no time should be lost in the shipment of the goods. The goods not arriving at Liverpool on the 10th April, the consignees made application at the railway station on that and the following day, but were informed the bags had not arrived. On the 20th they received a note from the railway officials stating their arrival. The goods were shipped on the 221. I'he plaintiff stated that in conse quence of the delivery cf the goods at . Liverpool he had lost about 781. from the alteration in price of the article, but he had only claimed the amount sued for. Mr. Gifford submitted the defendants were only liable for the ordinary consequences of delay, and not any damage arising out of any special loss in consequence of a det'rioration in the price of the article from tl}e fluctuation in the market. His Honour said he considered the defendants were liable for special damages arising from a fluctuation in the market in the price of the article, and gave judg ment for the plaintiff with costs. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. - (THIS DAY.) MANSION-HOUSE. THE STATE OF THE RIVER THAMES.—The Lord Mayor, on taking his seat, stated he had received a personal application from Sir John Rennie respecting the present state of the river Thames, and also commu nications from Mr. Dover, and others, to the same effect, suggesting a remedy. Believing the subject to be one of paramount importance, he proposed to call a public meeting, at the Mansion-house, on an early day, to take the subject into consideration, and, if possible, abate the nuisance so justly complained of. THE TOWSERY GANG.-Mr. Anderton called his lord ship's attention to a number of persons known in the kingdom, and particularly in the metropolis, as the Towsery Gang, who had taken premises on Ludgate hill, to the annoyance of the public, and particularly the inhabitants of the neighbourhood, where they were carrying on their business, issuing bills, headed with the names of " Strahan, Paul, and G 0.," and holding out to the public the idea they were selling property that formerly belonged to these and other bankrupts. It was a growing evil that could not be too strongly condemned, and the public cautioned against it ; and he solicited his lordship's interference to put down the nuisance complained of. His lordship stated that the matter should be in quired into. ISSUING A FORGED CHEQUE FOR 7001.—EXTRAORDI NARY CASE.—Edward Agar, a respectable middle-aged man, was brought up in custody by Daniel Forrester, charged with uttering a forged cheque for 7001., on Messrs. Stevens, Salt, and Co., bankers, 20, Lombard street. Mr. Mullins, solicitor to the Bankers' Association, appeared for the prosecutor ; and Mr. Wontner for the prisoner. Win. Smith, carpenter, 69, Theobald'e-road, deposed that in May last he was at work at No. 19, King's road, Gray's-Inn, where he became acquainted with the prisoner who went by the name of Jenkins, and in the course of the conversations he stated he had travelled much in America and the West Indies. Prisoner see ing witness could use his pen well promised he would do what he could to procure him easier employment than carpentering. At the prisoner's request he met a dark looking man at Tom's coffee-house, Holborn, and gave him 10 sovereigns, which prisoner had let him have for that purpose. On leaving the coffee-house the man gave witness a small heavy parcel, about 9 inches long and 4 wide, and thin, to take care of for him, taking his address and inquiring if he bad a good character, because he thought he might soon require his services. The par cel remained in his possession about ten days, when the prisoner called en witness and asked him to meet him with it the following morning at the Black Horse, Coventry -street. He did so, and gave it to him. He met the prisoner there again the following night, when prisoner gave him another parcel to take care of, which remained in his possession till last night, when he gave it to Daniel Forrester. When he last met the prisoner, he asked bins if he had ever done busi ness with bankers, to which be replied he had occa sionally. Prisoner then said he thought he should want witness to do a little for him shortly, and would tell him all about it in a week. He afterwards met the pri soner by accident in Southampton-row, when be asked witness if he would like to earn 1001. Witness replied he should, and asked what it was to do. Prisoner replied, to present a check for 7001. to be cashed at a bank ; and that, if he was careful and at tended to his instructions, no harm would come of it. He promised to meet witness the following night, or he might call any night at the coffee-house. He was to walk in, but not to speak to prisoner, and walk out again, when he would follow him out. On the 7th he met the prisoner at a coffee-shop in Orange-street, where the prisoner gave him instructions how to present the cheque, saying, " If they pay you the money, it will be all right ; but if they begin to question you, you will then understand it is wrong." If he was asked where he had it from he was to say, Captain Pellatt, Euston Hotel—that he was not his servant, but that as he was passing the hotel a gentleman asked him to take a letter to Mivart's Hotel, where a gentleman gave him half a sovereign and told him to take a cab t 3 the Bank and back, and get a cheque cashed. He was also to say that the gentleman inquired into his character, and who and what he was, and that he thought he could get him an excellent situa tion ; that if some persons from the Bank would go back with him to the hotel, and find what be had stated was correct, they would let him go. Prisoner said if he got the money hi was to meet him near Bedford-row, give him the money, and meet him the next day at Tom's coffee-house, when he would give him 1001. for his trouble. He met the prisoner the following Satur day in Southampton-row, where he gave him the cheque, a canvas bag, and half a sovereign, first asking him if he understood his instructions. The cheque and bag produced are the same. The cheque was written on a plain piece of paper, payable to W. Pellatt, and signed " Jno. Deverell." The prisoner also gave him instruc tions, when he got the money, to leave an envelope with a blank piece of paper in it, addressed to Captain Pellatt, at the hotel, then drive to the Euston Hotel, and then pay the cabman ; after that walk to Lombard'street. Prisoner was going out of town, and he would watch the paper to see if anything occurred, and communicate with him when he was liberated -He asked witness if he had a better suit of clothes than he then wore, because it was necessary to go as respectable as he could. On the Monday following he made a communication to Mr. Mullins, and on Wednesday last, the day the cheque was dated, he did as the prisoner had requested him. He presented the cheque, and received a bag containing money, which he put into his pocket, and walked to Bedford-row and the neighbouring streets, but did not meet the prisoner for some time. At ten minutes past five o'clock he saw him coming from the Holborn end of the street, and they met. He said, "Have you got it all right I" Witness said "Yes," pointing to his breast pocket, where the bag was.. Before asking that question he drew witness's attention to two men on the opposite side, and asked if they were watching them, but witness said he thought not. Prisoner said "Come on," and they walked towards Holborn. At the corner of Princes street he turned round and said, " These two fellows are following us ; come on, let us get round the corner. Sling me the stuff and I'll run for it." Witness passed the bag to him as they were walking at the corner of Lee-street, on which prisoner said "You go into that baker's shop, and I'll run for it into the fields (meaning Lincoln's-inn-fields.) After walking 20 yardp, pri soner commenced running, and he saw no more of him until he was in custody. Witness was brought last night to the Mansion-house, where he saw the prisoner, who asked him to stick to him, and that if it cost him 1,0001. he would see him out of it. He charged witness with having torned on him. Evidence was given by Mr. Scott, clerk in Messrs. Stevens and Co.'s bank, of the presentation of the check, aril a: hag containing 100 farthings being tied up in it, j and given to the last withees. Deverill, of rem !

SAVAQB ASSAULT BY A FEMALE.- -Elise Hall, a young woman of not very reputable habits, was brought up on a warrant in the custody of C 134, one of the officers of the Court, charged with the following violent and savage assault on Caroline Marshall, a married woman, residing at No. 40, Upper Norton-street, Fitzroy-square. The complainant stated that about a fortnight ago, between twelve and one o'clock in the morning, she was in a public-house, where the prisoner was present. Com plainant was asked by a friend to have a glass of wine. While she was drinking it the prisoner made use of a vile expression, and observed that she intended to serve another woman out. She was immediately seized hold of by the prisoner, who grasped her left arm. She then bit the fleshy part of her left hand, which she kept fixed in her teeth. Complainant called out to the landlord to release her from the prisoner. When the prisoner was taken away, she (complainant) remarked, " Look at my hand, see what a state it is in." The flesh was hanging &we, and a stream of blood was flowing from the wound. The prisoner ran away, and the complainant was taken to the hospital. Mr. Bishop, clerk to the magistrate—Was the pri soner sober ? Complainant—l do not know, sir, as I never saw the woman before. A female, a friend of complainant, said that she was obliged to grasp the throat of the prisoner, in order to compel her to relinquish her hold of the complainant. The prisoner stated that she was sorry for what had happened, and that she was so drunk at the time that she had no recollection of what had occurred. Mr. Bingham observed that if she was so drunk as not to have any recollection of what occurred, he hoped she would not take fermented liquors again. The prisoner was fined 31., or, in default of payment, six weeks' imprisonment in the House of Correction. A CRIMEAN HERO IN TROUBLE.—A. tall, powerfully made man, named Andrew Murray, a Scotchman, dressed in plain clothes, was charged with being found drunk and incapable in the street. The charged having been proved, and which was not denied by the accused, Mr. Bingham ordered him to pay the usual fine of ss. for the offence. The accused trusted that his worship would overlook the offence this time, observing that he had seen some service for his country. (He showed four medals, one of which was for services in the Crimea, with two clasps.) Mr. Bingham—That will do; go about your business. The prisoner left the bar. MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)

FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE EWER (THIS DAY.)—This morning between 9 and 10 o'clock a fatal accident took place on the river off Foley-house stairs, Blackwall, under the following circumstances :—The deceased had been employed on board a steam tug and was standing upright in a skiff holding on to a rope, while one of the men was iu the act of getting down into the same boat as the deceased, when the current of the tide drifted the skiff away from the side of the steamer, whereby the deceased lost his hold and fell head foremost into the water. An alarm was raised and every assistance was afforded by the Thames_police and several watermen, but before the deceased could be found life was quite extinct. The body was conveyed ashore for an inquest. The deceased's name was William Chapman, aged 14 years. M. Claudet, the eminent photographist, has received a royal warrant appointing him photographist to her Majesty. This compliment is well bestowed on one of the most ingenious and clever artists of the day. The Government is now seeking ships to carry out 1,000 tons of shot and shell to Balaklava.

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, command ding her Majesty's forces in the East : Before Sebastopol, Aug. 4. My Lord,—l have the honour to inform your Lord ship that on the night of the 2d inst., between 10 and 11 o'clock, the enemy made a sortie in considerable force by the Woronzoff-road. The strength of the enemy is computed to be about 2,000. Their object was to de stroy a heavy iron chevaux de frize, made across the Woronzoff road, between our right and left attacks, and being further supported by heavy columns in rear, to take advantage of such circumstances as might present themselves. They came on with loud cheers and bugling, and were received with great gallantry, by our advanced picquet, under the command of Lieutenant R. E. Carr, of , the 39th Regiment, who withdrew his men, firing at the same time upon the enemy, to the main body, under the command of Captain Leckie, 39th Regiment. A heavy and well-directed fire was opened upon the enemy by the party under Captain Leckie on the Wo ronzoff-road, as also by the guards of the trenches oa the right of the fourth parallel, under the command of Captain Boyle, of the 89th Regiment, and Capt. Turner, of the let Royals, which, in about ten minutes, caused the enemy to retire from an attack which, if it had not been so well met, might have been a serious affair. The enemy left four men killed, and some wounded were carried away. We had only one man slightly wounded in this affair. I have the honour to transmit the returns of casualties from the 30th July to the 2d August. I have the satisfaction of informing your lordship of the return to this army of Captain Montagu, of the Royal Engineers, from being a prisoner of war. H e expresses himself highly grateful for the kindness with which he was treated by the Russians during his cap_ tivity. It is with great regret that I have to communicate to your lordship that Lieutenant-General Sir R. England, G.C.8., has been compelled, upon the recommendation of a Medical Board, to return to England. Sir R. Eng land is the last of the General Officers who left the United Kingdom in command of a Division ; he has remained at his post throughout the trying heats of Bul garia, and the severities and hardships of the winter's campaign in the Crimea ; and great credit is due to this officer for the constancy and untiring zeal he has exhibited in carrying out arduous and difficult duties on all occasions.—l have &c., JAMES SIMPSON, General Commanding, The Lord Panmure, &c.

L. PAKENHAM, Adjutant-General.. SWEABORG AND OTHER .RUSSIAIf FORTRESSES IN THE BALTIC. The fortress of Sweaborg is the most formidable obstacle in the Gulf of Finland, and does the out post duty, as it were, for the great military entre pots of St. Petersburg. On the east this fortress also partially commands the most navigable chan nel for vessels of a large draught of water, on the voyage to Crenstadt, which is distant 163 miles on the St. Petersburg side. Sweaborg is composed of seven rocky islands, and is situated about three miles and a half from Helsingfors. It fell into the possession of Russia with the grand duchy of Finland ; but, unlike Helsingfors, which was first regularly fortified by the late Emperors Alexander and Nicholas, Sweaborg had been a place of considerable strength under the Swedes. General Ehrenfwald, an able Swedish officer, considering that these islands might be rendered a formidable strong hold, and might - enable Sweden to maintain her power in the Baltic, in spite of the ambi tious designs of Russia, projected the plan of their fortification. Previously, however, ships were built and repaired there for the Swedish navy. The works were commenced in 1748, but were not completely finished when ac quired by the Russians, who have continued making improvements, and devising every means of render ing the place impregnable. They say " the Swedes began, but we finished the Gibraltar of the North." These works are stupendous. The walls are chiefly hewn granite, covered with earth, rising in some places to a height of 48 feet. The batteries, which commence on a level with the water, and rise in tiers one above another, are mounted, it is alleged, with nearly a thousand guns. In Wolf's Island, the principal of the group, there is a dry dock, capable of containing 11 or 12 frigates, which has been completely hollowed out of solid rock, the length being 300 feet, breadth 200, mid depth 14 feet. At one extremity of this dock is a basin 200 feet square, closed at each end with sluice gates, which serves for the entrance and exit of frigates, and for repairing and building ships. The stores and ammunition for the batteries are de posited in magazines, on the edge of the water. The harbour can contain seven ships of the line and a few frigates. The three fortresses—Cronstadt, Sweaborg, and Helsingfors—could not have been intended for the defence alone of St. Petersburg. They toll their own tale. The magnitude of their works, and the incessant activity in the arsenals during the last half century, should have clearly warned Europe that these hugo fortresses were intended as a basis of operations against its liberties and the rights of its rulers. Cronstadt, which commands the passages at the mouth of the Neva, was taken from the Swedes by Peter the Great, and first converted by him from a desert island into a harbour for his navy in 1710. The most invulnerable portion of the stronghold, a rampart of granite, built in the sea for the pro tection of the shipping, was begun and finished under the superintendence of Admiral Greig, who is styled the father of the Russian navy. Doubts are entertained whether the guns of Cronstadt com pletely command the northern passage ; th# Mar quis de Custiue, a keen inquirer, declares that although he put himself to some trouble to learn as much, lie could not find the Russian who would inform him of the fact. The population of Cronstadt is about 45,000, of Helsingfors, which is the capital of the district, 10,000, and of Sweaborg about 4,000, the greater part of whom are tradesmen and merchants, who de-p•md on supplying the garrison and fleet, and who, as if the Russians anticipated on this occa sion a serious attack from the Allies, have been removing to Helsingfors during the last few weeks. RUSSIAW NEWS FROM TEE SEA OF AZOFF. LOSS OP A SCREW GUN-BOAT IN THE SEA OF AZOFF. The Joupital dc St. Petersbourg of August 7 contains the following news from the Sea of Azoff : Lieut.-General Khomoutoff, Ataman locuas tenons of the Don Cossacks, sends the following details, in a report dated July 31 : "On the evening of July 23, a screw gun-boat, be longing to the enemy, approached Taganrog, and fired upon the city. While vespers were being chanted in the cathedral, a large-sized ball struck the wall, but occa sioned no further damage than causing a piece of stucoo in the int er i or t o f a ll on and bruise the Archpriest S6laoff. The Divine service was not interrupted, and not one of the faithful left the building. " At nightfall the gun-boat went in the direction of the point called Krivaia-Kossa, and on approaching ran aground within 40 sagenes of the shore. "On learning this, Major Afanassieff went immediately to the spot with a sotnia of the regiment, No. 70, of Don Cossacks, made his men dismount, and sheltering them by means of the ruggedness of the ground, opened a fusillade against the gun-boat, in order to prevent its crew front pushing it off. The enemy directed a can nonade against our Cossacks, but his fire was not of long duration. Owing to a violent east wind lowering the level of the water, the boat got more and more aground, and completely settled on its side. One of the enemy's large steamers then drew near to lend assistance, and approaching very near to the coast, opened a violent cannonade against the Cossacks, and made every possi ble effort to save the stranded boat. In the meantime Lieutenant-Colonel Demianoff, com mander of the No. 70 Regiment of Cossacks, had brought two more of his sotnias to Krivaia-Kossa, and, making them dismount, opened such a fire of musketry that the enemy could not keep at work on the deck of the gunboat. After a long fusillade, the crew, despair ing of saving the boat, got into their small boats, with out even being able to carry away their flags. Twenty Don Cossacks then threw themselves into the water, and fighting against the billows, and in spite of a redoubled cannonade from the steamer, gained the boat, and after taking from it the flag and Union Jack, and two 24- pounder brass cannons, set it on fire, and it burnt to the water's edge. "This gunboat had three masts, and was nearly 1 205 , feet long. When the Cossacks reached it the enemy 5 steamer left. " That portion of the boat which escaped fire soon covered with sand.

E.....The new spatch of an ar my of reserve from India to Cairo has reached the Punjab, and rumours of the ladfl forma oatas to portion w at force. The 60th Rifles, the 10th, 52d, and 70th fro were !spoke n o f as the regiments most likely to go, since, , being stati one d so near the Sut l e j, t h e i r t ransport to Kurraehee would be a matter of comparative ease. If all the Royal regiments spoken of as destined to join the army of reserve be really going, and its entire strength is only to be 15,000 men, then the native infantry por tion of it will be very small, or possibly no sepoy corps will be eent at all, and the force will consist of British infantry only, with Company's Artillery and irregular cavalry, and possibly some regulars, and the 14th Light Dragoons. We suppose that we may shortly expect to receive some intelligence of a somewhat more definite nature relative to the assembling of this army of reserve at Cairo, and the despatch of an expedition to the Per sian Gulf, if one really be destined to proceed to the lat ter locality.—.
