This will be a useful theme for Earl GREY and Mr. MILNER GIBBON. They have this additional evidence of the moderation and pacific intentions of the Power of which they have thought proper to become the advocates. If any lingering delu sion could still remain in any unprejudiced mind, it must now be entirely and permanently dis pelled. The true designs of Russia may now be thoroughly understood, and every true-hearted Englishman should be prepared to act accordingly. LATEST NEWS.

When, on the death of the late AUTOCRAT, the present CzAR ascended, without opposition, the throne of All the Russias, it was by many persons considered that the chances in favour of a just and honourable peace had greatly increased. 'We were not, however, of the number. Although well aware that the new EMPEROR bad, while Cezarewitch, been distinguished for the moderation of his views—that he had been opposed, ab initio, to the war in which the country was engaged, and that he was regarded as the head of the peace party in Russia—we did not, therefore, found any very sanguine anticipations on the fact of his accession. We explained that, although he might have desired, he had not the power, to abandon the aggressive policy that had so long been main tained by his predecessors, or to assent to such terms as might produce a permanent and honourable peace. Although nominally AUTOCRAT—although his will was, theoreti cally, the supreme law of Russia—he felt that he was practically placed under the control of his ambitious brother and the old Muscovite party, and that resistance to their authority might bring not only his reign, but even his life, to a very speedy conclusion. NICHOLAS was really supreme. He had the power, if he possessed the will, to conclude peace on the basis of " the Four Points," but whatever might be his indi vidual feelings, he dared not oppose " the power behind the Throne, more potent than the Throne itself," and he felt himself, as he really was, but a mere puppet in the hands of the formidable clique who regulated the foreign as well as the domestic policy of his Empire. The first-fruits of this untoward state of affairs was the Proclamation of the new CZAR, and his emphatic pledges of adherence to the policy in augurated by PETER, and steadfastly and inces santly pursued by all his successors,and his solemn declarations that he would strike off his hand be fore he suffered it to sign any article derogatory to what he was pleased to designate the " rights and authority of Russia." The unblushing repudia tion, by the Russian Plenipotentiaries at Vienna, of the principle of " the Third Point," which constituted one of the fundamental bases on which the Conferences were held—the insolent attempt to prove that the integrity of the Sublime Porte was as greatly threatened by the fleets of France and England in the Euxine as of Russia, and that the maintenance of the latter with unabated power was indispensable for the protection of the SULTAN and his dominions—was the second act of the serio-comic drama ; and the third has just com menced in the " resignation" (!) Anglese—the dis missal and disgrace of Count NESSELRODE. The "wily , old diplomatist has certainly not .merited this scurvy treatment from his Mas ter, or even from the War party in It usaia. If really desirous of peace, he com pletely succeeded in concealing his aspirations. Ths Ass circulars he has fr om ti me to time soul. the specious f a ll ac i es an d soph i st i ca l rea lig 14" put forwa r d—th e cord i al manner i s which h e cl e f " 4 ' l the aggression which had taken place, and esze r u d the absorb and annex the n gut of Holy Russia to the eighbourin g teTritories, might have disar raed woe their forbearanc e M o scovite party, an d , if n o t port.

Be it so. W e kept this additional evidence sentiment, " Still in thy right hand carry gentle peace To silence envious tongues"— and how energetically would he have exclaimed with the disgraced WOLSEY— " Had I but served my God with half the zeal I served my King, he would not in mine age Have left me naked to mine enemies." As might have been anticipated, Sir WILLIAM CLAY'S Bill for the Abolition of Church Rates passed through its seoond reading last evening by a considerable majority. The verdict of the House is so perfectly in harmony with the feelings and wishes of au overwhelming majority of the population, and is so thoroughly warranted by reason and justice, that we feel disposed to do little more than congratulate the House upon it. To enter on the arguments adduced in favour of the Bill seems superfluous. We may, however, notice a few of those advanced against it, and an incident or two of the debate. The objection of the mover of the amendment to the bill—viz., that he could not trust the maintenance of the fabrics of the Church to the voluntary liberality of the people, because, though he admitted private liberality had done much in the way of erecting new fabrics, there was a sort of pride and gratification in erecting a new build ing wholly wanting in keeping up the repairs of an old—was sufficiently amusing. What little sting there might be in it had certainly no force for the supporters of the bill. If voluntary libe rality, as we are disposed to believe the Hon. Member felt, has delighted most in new buildings, it is because in them they are not consigned to dead-and-alive rectors or drowsy vicars, but something approximating more closely to an effi cient ministry and a useful pastorate. The re marks of the seconder were still less apropos. Whether the rural churches in this country, on the passing of the bill, would obtain no voluntary sul:- scriptions or not, reference to Wales might dis creetly have been omitted. With the Hon. Gen tleman, we are perfectly prepared to look upon the idea of voluntary contributions or of pew rents in Wales as a perfect farce. Neither source, we are quite satisfied, can be depended on, as things are. A people carrying their love of nationality to a fault, contribute to a Mi nistry that taxes their power, of gravity to an in credible extent every Sunday in life by preaching discourses in a language that is neither Welsh nor English, but a vile composition of their own. Such a people pay for a Ministry like this l—a people, too, with a National Church liberally en dowed, but whose funds are swallowed up by use less dignitaries, chief among whom are Bishops that don't know the Welsh for the word Gospel A perfect farce, indeed. The argument of the succeeding speaker, that people would not give to the support of churches unless they had a voice in the administration of the funds, is at once confuted by facts. I❑ more than one large religious organisation the people do give, and give most liberally, without such voice. As to the scandalous character of pew rents pro vision is made, as far as possible, in the bill for free sittings for the poor ; and if the advocates of Church Rates cannot conscientiously desist from robbing Dissenters on this ground until a substi tute is provided, we recommend to them as that substitute the enormous wealth of the Church. The poor most unquestionably should be better looked to than they are, and if Voluntaryism won't reach them—hitherto it has been their best and truest friend—let the superabundant wealth of the Church be directed in that direction. The absence - of a Cabinet Minister in the early part of the debate, and the speech and part taken by Lord PALMERSTON, when he at last condescended to make his appearance, are not astonishing—they are merely discreditable. What cares this Adonis of seventy for the religious scruples of the thousands of industrious and self respecting Dissenters and Nonconformists, who contribute so largely to the pith and sterling worth of the nation ? Something less than for my lady's cousin's cousin's eldest son. He opposed the bill. He could understand, for sooth ! and respect (?). the aversion of Dissenters to pay for the administration of the Church wor ship ; but he could not equally understand why they should object to the maintenance of the churches which were national property ! Could he understand the matter better, it might be in quired if a house in which he had a share was (beneficially) alienated from him, and he was com pelled to aid in keeping it in repair, and that house occupied by one who had always been his enemy ? But indifference on subjects of this importance, and sophistries equally impu dent and transparent, mush always be looked for so long as lordly cliqueism and incompe tency are in the ascendancy. That pernicious in fluence has utterly spoiled statesmen even less plastic than Lord PALMERSTON. Referring once more to the bill, we must ex press our earnest desire that the majority on the occasion may prove an augury of similar success in the Lords. If their Lordships understand their duty and interests, we have no cause for appre hension—not even from the Bench of B.ishops. mor tar-boats,th harbour to receive into Portsmouth h ave gone false keel and forefoot.

RENFREW COUNTY ELECTION.—Sir Michael Shaw Slewart was duly elected M.P. for this county on Mon day last, without opposition, in the room of Colonel Mure, resigned. EARTHQUAKE AT PERTH.—About one or two o'clock on Monday morning, a smart shock of earthquake Inas felt here, which lasted two or three seconds. After a brief interval, a second shock was experienced of the same duration as the first.—Edinburgh , Witness.

ITALIAN OPERAS IN DIIBLIN.—A very attractive company of Italians, brought hither by Mr. Beale, of London, appeared at the Theatre Royal, on Tuesday evening. The opening opera was Rossini's .11 Barbiere and Madam Alboni, whose performances in Dublin in the September of 1849 created such a deep impression, appeared in the character of Rosina. YARMOUTH.—Yesterday morning a meeting, convened by the mayor, was held at Yarmouth to consider the question of wAminiitrative reform. Several gentlemen of local influence addressed the meeting, and resolutir ns in favour of the movement were carried, after which the meeting adjourned to Thursday evening, in order to re ceive a deputation from the London a=sociation. BOSTON.—On Monday the Mayor of Boston, Fred. Cooke, Esq., complied with a well-signed requisition by convening a meeting of the inhabitants of that town at the Guildhall, to discuss the propriety of passing resolu tions calling upon the borough members in Parliament . to support Mr. Layard's motion on administrative reform. CRYSTAL PALACE.—In consequence of many urgent representations made to the directors during the last week, on behalf of the clerks and labourers employed in and about the various Government offices, and espe cially the docks, it has been determined to reduce the price of admission on Saturday next, the Queen's birth day, to one shilling. A very large attendance may be fairly expected on this occasion. The only holidays kept at the Stamp and Excise offices, the Custom-house, and the docks, are Christmas Day, Good Friday, and the Queen's birthday ; and with these exceptions the labour of the numerous employ4s in those establishments is in cessant throughout the year. As the Crys'al Palace is necessarily closed on Christmas Day and Good Friday, the reduction of the price of admission on Saturday next will confer a great boon upon the classes in question. CRYSTAL PALACE.—Return of admissions for six days ending May 12.—Number admitted, including season ticket holders, 17,891 ; amount received for admission-, 824/. Os. Gel.

THE METROPOLITAN SEWERS COMMISSION. —Yesterday a meeting of the members of the above-named court was held at their principal office, 1, Greek-street, Soho. Mr. R. Jebb presided. Several of the members of the commission were present ; and also Mr. H. L. Taylor. and Deputy Harrison, of the corporation of the city of London. A long conversation respecting the plans pro posed for the northern drainage of the metropolis took place, arising from the report of a committee appointed some time since to consider the matter. Ten of the plans, it appeared, had been so selected, and amongst the number one which was proposed by a commissioner connected with the court, which plan had not been laid before the joint body for consideration. After a long discussion, it appeared that the majority of the members of the commission present were of opinion, that, pend ing the result of Sir Benjamin Hall's bill, it was desirable not to proceed farther with the question of the main drainage of the metropolis ; and eventually it was de cided that the consideration of the matter should be postponed sine die. Not long afterwards the commis sioners separated. DOVER, Tuesday.—Mr. Glaisher, from the Royal Ob servatory, Greenwich, accompanied by Mr. Charles Wal ker, the telegraph engineer to the South-Eastern Rail way Company, arrived at Dover this morning for the purpose of ascertaining the true meridian of Dover, in order that a standard meridian might be established for future reference. Captain noble, the superintendent of the Cinque Ports pilots, afforded every assistance, and by his permission the compass bearings, indicating the true astronomical north, were laid down in an upper apartment of the Pilot Tower. The compass bearings on the south pierhead were found to be extremely inac curate, the true north being several points to the east of the true north on the pierhead. The attention of the authorities at the Royal Observatory is now being directed to the circular theory of storms. A correct daily report of the direction and force of the wind will in future he forwarded to them, in order to add to -he data on the subject. Souniamteroie.—To give place to contemplated im provements, some premises at Southampton, which were pronounced by Sharon Turner to contain the most an cient specimens of domestic architecture in England, will shortly be pulled down. The house of which these remains originally formed a part was open to the sea. Now, however, a carriage road and a house and garden, formerly the residence of a margravine of Anspach inter vene between what was once the house and the sea. About 13 miles of sower have recently been male in Southampton, four of which forms a main sewer, which now almost encircles the town. Within the last week or two the men who have been at work on it have dug out huge pieces of oak and chesnut, which are believed to have been buried for a thousand years, and which probably formed a coffer dam when the town walls were built. VIENNA, WEDNESDAY, MAY 16, 9. A.M. Count Coronini, Commander-in-Chief of the Austrian army of occupation in the Danubian Principalities, has proclaimed martial law. COPENHAGEN, MAY 16.

FRANCE. PARIS, WEDNESDAY EVENING. Admiral Baron de Mackau, Senator and ex- Minister of Marine, expired at Paris on the 13th after a long and severe illness. The annual ball in aid of the British Charitable Fund took place last night at the Jardin d'Hiver, and was of a most brilliant description, nearly all the English rank and fashion now in Paris being present. The funeral obsequies of M. B. J. Fould took place yesterday morning, and was attended by the Ministers of the Emperor, the Ambassadors of foreign powers, and a number of persons eminent in the arts, literature, and manufactures. The Chandernagor transport has left Marseilles, and the Egerie Toulon for Constantinople yester day, with provisions and stores for the army. The following private telegraphic despatches have been received tc-day : " MARSEILLES, 15Tn.—The Pericles has just ar rived with news from Constantinople to the 12th. The English ambassador was daily expected. The health of the troops in the camp of Maslak was sa tisfactory. The last news from Eupatoria was to the 29th ult. A reconnaissance had ascertained that the village of Saki, in the vicinity, contained 25,000 Russians and a considerable quantity of war materiel. There was a rumour of an intention to occupy this village. Omer Pacha had undertaken the formation of a Tartar regiment. The brigade of General Cassagnolles had arrived. A corps of the Khan of Khiva, 30,000 strong, had been dis persed by the Persians. The Khan and his son were killed." A letter from Alexandria states that the passage of English troops continued, and that about 16,000 of the Egyptian army had arrived there to embark fur Turkey. BOURSE, MAY IG.—CLOSING PRICIEff.

The African Royal Mail Steam Shipping Com pany's vessel Ethiope, Captain Barnwell, has ar rived from Lisbon, which she left on May 10th. She brings no news, having broken down twice on her passage, and been obliged to put into Lisbon on the 3d and 6th for repairs, from whence her coast news has been forestalled. She brings a general cargo, including 3,500 ounces of gold, and a small mail from Lisbon. She has spoken no ves sel since she left Lisbon, but heard before leaving that the Candace left adeira on the 4th. ARRIVAL OF THE CANDACE. PLYMOUTH, THURSDAY MORNING. The Candace, African Mail steamer, arrived here at ton o'clock last night. Her dates are—Bonny, April 3 ; Lagos, 5 ; Ac cra, 8 ; Cape Coast, 2 ; Liberia, 14 ; Sierra Leone, 16 ' - Bathurst, 22 ; Goree, 24 ; Teneriffe, May 3 ; Madeira 5. She brings the usual mail and a full general cargo, with 3,061 ounces of gold, and 30 passen gers, among whom are a Royal Spanish Commis sioner for the Canary Islands and his Secretary. At Fernando Po she left H.M.S. Philomel, and at Madeira H.M.S. Teazer and Hecate. A disturbance had taken place in reference to the latter ship, in consequence of the natives attempt ing to convey rum on board ; and one of them had been shot by an officer of the ship. Both vessels left Madeira May sth for the Coast. DEFICIENCY or SERVANTS IN THE CRI3I EA.--A me morandum forwarded to our correspondent in the Cii ! mea complains of the great inconvenience occasioned to the officers of the army and the medical staff by a regu lation which debars them from the employment of mili tary or "soldier" servants. It appears that " civil" servants cannot always be procured, and that when they are forthcoming they are often useless, and frequently desert in the hour of need. The civil servants are inoFt!y Maltese, Greeks, and Italians ; they are noto riously lazy, and aericrally dishonest, and, from their ignorance of the En4lisli language, they cannot commu nicate with the Commissariat Department. Hence the medical staff officers are often obliged to draw their rations in person, and to cook their own food, clean their own horses, and perform other menial offices, when their medical duties ought to occupy their time exclu sively. It is suggested, moreover, that,the employment of these foreign hirelings may lead to the introduction of spies. Whether it is reasonable to allow surgeons and assistant-surgeons to have soldier servants till they are promoted, and then to deprive them of this advantage on service, or whether it is exactly creditable to the Eng lish army to accept the loan of French soldiers from the allied army, to supply the deficiency of military ser vants in our own, the "authorities " must be left to de -ermine. DRURY-LANE THEATRE. -This theatre was relpened last night at further reduced prices. The opera was La Sonnambula, with Madame and M. Gassier. The ballet divertissement of La Pera followed, in which Mademoiselle Palmyra, a danseuse from Marseilles, appeared with great success in a grand pas de deux and a national Spanish dance. This lady is young, agile, and a thorough mistress of the mechanism of her art, but deficient in grace and " ecole"—to use the conventional ~ terrn. Mademoiselle P a lmyra, however, completely won the favour of the audience, and was en cored in one of the variations of the pas de deux, in which she highly distinguished herself by her command of " pointes,' and other manifestations of pedal dexterity. The house was crowded to suffocation, which must have been the more consoling to the management if it be true, as we" have heard, that there were no free admissions. " Grecht Judcrus." PRINCESS'S THEATRE. Last night Shakspere's play of King Henry th,e Eighth was produced here for the first time in the presence of an overflowing audience, when Mrs. Charles Kean appeared for the first time since her long and severe indisposition. The anxiety to obtain places was such that numbers hail to go away, receiving on their departure either their money or a ticket for another night. It is needless t say that Mrs. Kean met with a most gratifying reception. The performance itself deserves to rank with the best of what Mr. Kean terms in the programme his "series of historical illustrations," and evinced careful study and preparation in every department. The bluff monarch himself was very well represented in the person of Mr. Walter Lacy, though perhaps with a little more delicacy and refinement of expression than belonged to the ori ginal. Mr. Charles Kean appeared as Cardinal Wol sey, and for Mrs. Kean was fittingly reserved the beau tiful character of Queen Katharine ; while Miss Heath did full justice to the coquettish Anne Boleyn. Mr. Ryder, as Duke of Buckingham, and Mr. Graham, as Cranmer, sustained their respective parts with good effect. In the early part of the play the interess all centres in the Cardinal, and here Mr. C. Kean did-all that artistic knowledge and skill could enable him to do. The Kathiine of Mrs. Kean won the sympathies of the entire audience ; it was thrDughout a beautiful imper sonation. Apart from these merits, and viewed merely as a spectacle, the performance is entitled to the highest praise. THE LYCEUM THEATRE. This theatre, having been closed for a short time, re opened last night, under the management of Mr. Ald croft, with the first of a series of farewell operatic per formances of Madame Anna Thillon, previous to her retirement from the stage. The opera selected was Au bees Crown Diamonds, an opera in which, a short time since, Madame Thillon, as La Catarina, achieved great and deserved success at the Princess's. The performance of Madame Thillon last night was characterised by her usual lively brilliancy and witching fascination. In the cavatina, " I'll asunder love's chains," she sang with great taste, and in the famous notturno and bolero, " In that drear defile of the mountains," Mdme. Thillon gave her part with great tact, clearness, and artistic power. The last scene, in which she proclaims herself as queen to her astonished lover, Don Henrique, was highly suc cessful. At the close of the first and last acts this favourite artiste was called before the curtain with great applause. The character of Rebolledo was well sustained by Mr. Leffler, and Mr. Bawler deserves great credit for the able manner in which he went through the difficult part of Don Henrique at a very short notice. The ballet Les Trois Nymphs afforded an opportunity for introduc ing some very graceful and elegant dances by Mdlle. d'Antoine, Mdlles. Annie and Therese Cushnie, and M. Milano. A very pretty pas de caractere by the corps de ballet was deservedly encored. M. Milano and Mdlle. Therese Cushnie introduced with great effect their cele brated pas styrien, and Mdlle. d'Antoine a very pretty pas espagnol, La Madrilina. The house was crowded, and we have no doubt that these farewell operatic per formances of an established favourite with the public, such as Mme. Thillon, will prove attractive to many whose hearts have been lightened, and whose melancholy has often been banished, by the lively and graceful per fokmances of this lady. , ST. MARTIN'S HALL. Mozart's Requiem, Beethoven's Choral Fantasia, and Mendelssohn's First Walpurgis Night were performed at this hall last evening, under the direction of Mr. John Hullah. The Requiem, of Mozart is well known as the last work of the gifted composer ; and the romance at tending its composition would alone suffice to excite in terest. It was very ably rendered, though of course the execution of such music in a concert-room labours under great disadvantages. The Choral Fantasia was loudly applauded. The pianoforte solo was brilliantly per formed by M. Alexandre Billet, and the quartet and chorus received an unanimous encore. The First Wal purgis Night was very effectively given. The principal vocal performers throughout the evening were—Mrs. Endersohn, Miss Palmer, Mr. Herberte, and Mr. Thomas. They were well supported by the chOrus, which consisted as usual of the members of Mr. llullah's First Upper Singing School. The halt was unusually crowded. MILITARY _REFORM. Our facetious contemporary, Punch, has an admirable suggestion this week, in the propriety of which but few will be found, to refuse their concurrence. As the prin cipal illustration we have—" Military Reform.—A Noble Beginning "—a representition of " H.R.H. P. A.. re signing his Field-Marshal's baton and pay." His Royal Highness, attired in his dressing gown, is exhi bited in the act of laying down his marshal's hat beside a capacious bag, labelled £ s. d., a suit of uniform, a sword, and marshal's staff, all of which repose on what We suppose is meant to represent the altar of country. The plump, peace-fed, unwarlike appearance of the Prince alone seems to warrant the offering. There are, however, other considerations which give Mr. Punch's suggestion force, and which render it exceedingly oppor tune. He has aptly expressed what almost everybody has felt, at a time when military reform and economy are words of deep significance. CARDIGAN SAL3ION FISHERY. The state of affairs at this fishery, we regret to learn, has undergone no amelioration. Igo further acts o 4 violence, it is true, have been committed ; but the law less feeling of the neighbourhood, and the consequent absence of adequate protection for Mr. Ewen, the un fortunate lessee, continue. One reckless individual, who had threatened to cut away the nets before that outrage was committed, and bad used the most violent language, has been held to bail in 251. penalty, and a surety in 121. 10s., amounts scarcely calculate I to in sure the desired object. Application also has been made by Mr. Ewen to Lord Palmerston, who forwarded the letter to Sir George Grey, who merely recommended Mr. Ewen to make an application to the resident acting magistrates on the subject. The protection of the Admiralty was then sought ; but the reply was, the fishery was out of the Board's jurisdiction. The practices of the fishermen with respect to the fish are represented to be of the most irregular, destructive, and exhaustive character ; and, unless speedy steps are taken, disastrous results may follow. The remedy, according to our intelligent cor respondent, Mr. D. Martin, is the application of the Irish Fisheries Acts. If so, the sooner they are applied the better, for the evil is not only disgraceful to the en tire neighbourhood, but also to the country at large. SIGNOR AND MADAME FERRARI'S CONCERTS.—Signor and Madame Ferrari gave their annual concert last even ing at. the Hanover•sq mare Rooms. It consisted' of an ele gant selection of vocal and instrumental music admirably performed. The room was cruwded to the doors with fashionable company, who seemed highly gratified with the entertainment provided for them. MADAME GRlSl.—Madame Grisi, after resisting for a long time the solicitations of the lessee of the Royal Italian Opera, has at length so far relented from her determination of ret;ring, as to consent to portray a portion of her great characters during a brief period of the present season. The public aro much indebted to Mr, Gye for bringing about, even for a limited time, the return of this accomplished artiste to the lyric drama, of which she was so bright an ornament. THE MILITIA REGIMENTS —The militia regiments might have occupied the Mediterranean garrisons long ago. For months the Second West York Light In fantry, with six hundred bayonets, have been attested for foreign service, and yet they are kept in a state of inaction in Sheffield Barracks. Had they been sent to Corfu three months ago, they would have relieved a re giment of the line. The treachery and bad faith of the Government are at the root of all the calamities which have attended the present war.— Yorkshire Gazette. .ROYAL FREEMASONS' SCHOOL FOR GIRLS.—The 67th anniversary of this admirable institution was cele brated last evening at Freemasons' Hall, under the able presidency of the Earl of Yarborough, the Deputy- Grand Master of the Order. About 300 members of the fraternity sat down to an excellent dinner, provided by the landlord of the tavern. In proposing the health of the evening the Grand Master, Lord Zetland, adverted the fact of upwards of 600 children having been edu cated at this establishment, and added, that out of that number not one had gone wrong. Ntver was the school in a more flourishing state, although during last year they had lost their excellent matron, who during a pe -6°l of 50 years had held that situation. Notwithstand ing the brethren had from time to time come forward in the most handsome manner, yet, in consequence of the new building, the funds were not in so prosperous a state as could be wished. Brother Crew, the estimable secretary of the institution, read the list cf subscriptions and donations in the mini, which amounted to 1,407/. It is a practice peculiar to this society that the scholars should select one of their number as enCtled to receive the medal given by the president at the anniversary meetings, and in no instance have they been wrong in their choice, it havin g invariably be en con fi rme d b y th e visitors. This year Matilda Clubb was the fortunate girl, who was addressed in the most feeling terms by the noble lorl, who put the medal round her neck. Prizes were given to six other children for good conduct and proficiency in different branches of education. Many excellent speeches were made, and a rich musical treat was afforded under the eirection of Brother Genge, as sisted by Miss Birch, Miss E. Birch, the Misses Wells, Master Williams, Master Sinythson, Brothers Perren, Fielding, Farquharson; and Stnythsen, The meeting altogether was highly satisfactory. THE SILGE OF SEBASTOPOL. (From the Second Edition of the Times.) CAMP BEFORE SEBASTOPOL, APRIL 30. Our new battery, which is only 700 yards from the enemy's guns, is nearly completed, and as its armament ie'very heavy great routs are expected from its fire. The "observation of this siege ought to produce an im mense effect on fortifications, for it has been demon strated that earthworks properly constructed are far bet ter perhaps than any masonry. The solid mass of stone of which the Maiakhoff Tower consisted was smashed, rent up, and split from top to bottom at our very first day's fire. It is now a heap of ruins. The earthwork beneath is as firm as it was the very first day we fired at it. As yet we do . not know into how many acts the grand drama of the siege is to be divided. It is uncertain whether it is to be a melodrama in three acts or a tragedy in five, or whether it is to be " a mystery" of infinitesi mal length, on the model of our forefathers, who sat down before a place with a prospect of spending a rea sonable portion of a lifetime 'era it fell. The troops are tired enough of seeing the drop scene before our embra sures ; but there are renewed rumours to-day that peace is certain, and that the game has been played out. Who are the winners it will be for history and posterity to deter-nine. Whether the news be true or false, there can be no doubt but t' at, to the ma jority of this army, the news that peace was pro claimed would be most welcome, though there would be few indeed who would leave the Crimea without some sense of shame, or at least seine feeling of regret, that they never saw the interior of Sebastopol. Instinct tells the commonest soldier that the city is the stake for which we have been p'aying, and it tells us all that a pence can never endure, if it has indeed been thoogLt of, which would permit Ruseia to boast that she had repelled the assaults of the two great Powers of Western Europe, and would leave to England and France only the recollection of barren and bloody victories. But, meantime, the siege ought to be going on, and as far as our cannon and mortars are concerned it is sus pended. What is the principal reason ? Simply, be cause Woolwich is not next door to us, and shell and fuses are not forthcoming. There are no fuses for such shells as we have, and we have plenty of fuses for shells 'which we have not. There are lots of 13-inch shells and no fuses for them, and there are lots of 10-inch fuses and no shells for them. Where are the shells that belonged to the fuses, and where the fuses that belonged to the shells? Has the Purveyor got them, or the Auditor-General, or the Chairman of the Bank of England ? Who sent them out, or who kept them back ? Who are the traitors, cr the knaves, or the fools ? And if they are all wise men who manage these things. how is it that we undertake to reduce, by means of a bombardment, the strongest place that was ever attacked, and have no means of carrying on that bombardment after a few drys' firing? Perhaps it is quite right that this should ,be the case, but neither artillerymen, engineers, nor soldiers think so out here. It may be only just to re mark, that it is only in shells of a particular kind, and in fusees of a certain description, that we are short, but that very kind of shell, and that very sort of fusee, are both most useful in the siege. We cannot be de ficient in supplies of shot, for I am glad to be able to men tion that we have within the last few days lent the French 2,000 shot, with which they are now prosecuting their attack against the town. It is about six months since it was known our army would have to re-open fire (s hen spring came) against Sebastopol. We have the largest—the most powerful—the most numerous fleet of steamers in the world--we have Malta as a half-way house—a great fortress, in which to accumulate all the engines and materiel of war—we have Woolwich, the ad miretion of foreign potentates, and the special wonder of the late Czar himself, when he visited England; of all he saw there —and here are our mortars short of shells, and our shells short of fuses, after a week's practice. In reference to the actual work done by the railway, it appears that so far from its services having been less than they were estimated, they have been considerably greater. On the one day when our allies con plained of some obstruction or impediment or delay in the convey ance of their waggons, which they were working by consent of the English authorities, it is clear that the rail way was not to blame, and, as I mentioned the thrown _ stance of 24 French wagons having been detained suAlp length of time on that occasion, I am bound to mat) that as it was a Sunday, and the day succeeding being pay day, it was determined to give men, horses, and engines a holyday, and, at the request of Sir Colin Campbell, the use of the line a-as granted to the French Brigadier• General Vinoy (of the Corps Bosquet, sta tioned near Balaklava) for that particular day. The French horsed it and worked, and the railway autho rities had nothing at all to do with the working of the line except to find breakemen for the waggons to pre vent accidents. The supply of ammunition which our authorities relied upon from the railway has been far exceeded, and it has not only carried up more than the estimated _ _ quantity of shot and shell, &c., but a very great amount of stores and cargo of all kind, in addition, more over to throwing obligations broadcast all over the army, from the generosity, kindness, .and zeal of Mr. Beatty, to promote the comfort of every officer who had any little impediments to be sent to the front. Up to the week ending the 28th of April the average amount of tonnage sent up from Balaklava to the terminus was 240 tons per diem ; and on that day 180 tons of ammu nition alone were forwarded by rail towards the batteries, and deposited at the terminus. But great as this assist ance has been, and all important to the success of the siege, the services of the railway might be doubled if the authorities would do what the managers of the railway have been endeavouring to get them to carry out, viz., to send down the men to begin loading the waggons at six o'clock a.m. instead of at the very comfortable hour of 8 a.m., and to continue working till 8 p.m., in stead of leaving off at 5 p.m. In this way five hours would be added to our working day. The railway peo ple are quite ready to co-operate, and no obstruction arises from them. Twenty more labourers have been handed over to the warehousing department, 50 hating recently arrived. The warm clothing (furs, &c.) is being collected and packed up, to be sent to Constantinople to be cleaned, &c., and made fit for reissue. The Imperial Guard were marched down to the trenches on the right of our right attack this evening. It is now 12 o'clock at night, and there iS no firing on the right, but a very severe cannonade and incessant musketry have been going on on the left, opposite the Flagstaff Battery. It is now affirmed that our fire will not re•open fur 10 days at least. Not only is our supply of shell and fuses insufficient, but .we cannot mount the new guns and complete our new batteries in time. THURSDAY, April 26. The whole of General Bosquet's army of observation, consisting of 45 battalions of infantry, of two regiments of heavy dragoons, and of two regiments of Chasseurs d'Afrique, together with a numerous and well-appointed field artillery, numbering 60 pieces, were reviewed by General Canrobert. The spectacle of the review was magnificent in the extreme. As soon as General Canrobert had reviewed a couple of divisions, there was then " an officers' call" of some 16 battalions. The officers formed a square, and Gene ral Canrobert riding into the centre addressed them with much elocutionary emphasis ; but, as he turned round from time to time, I could not catch more than broken sentences, especially when the General was very low and very emphatic. However, such as they are, I will give you the scraps we could hear, and as the s übse quent addresses to other assemblies of officers, of which there were two more, were little varied, except in terms of phrase, ex uno disce oneaes. • " Messieurs les Officiers—Malheureusement pour moi mes occupations m'empeehent de voui passer en revue plus souvent, mais si je ne vous passe pas en revue avec mes yeux, je le faislavec mon ccear. Je vous pri 3de remercier nos soldats pour moi, an noun de l'Etnpereur au nom de la France, pour leur devotion, leur co wage, leur patience." The General then dwelt at some length on' the priva- Vona they bad undergone and the endurance with which they had supported them, and complimented the officers on the neatnes., cleanliness, and order of the troops. Amid marked attention, referring to the state of the sol- diers, he said— " Apropos, j'ai de bonnes nouvelles a vous annoncer, de 75,000 a 80,000 de nos compatriotes qui doivent arriver dans 12 al5 jours. Il y en a deja 30,00 J a Constantinople. Avec ces renforts, Messieurs, nous pouvious elargir nos operations." To another division he said, modifying the expression, and giving it a wider significance— " Eargir notre cercle. Quand on vent entrer dans line maison, si I'on trouve la porte forme°, 'on entre par la fe• Detre, mais ou y entre; et, Messieurs; je vous dig, on y entrera, soit par la porte, soit par la fenetre—pou r a b a isser I'orgueil de nos. annemis. Quand deux grandes nations comme la France et l'Angleterro a'accrochent sur quelque chose elles ne la lachont pas." At another time he said— "La France et l'Angleterre domandent la prise de Se bastopol ; elle sera prise ! Si nous n'entrous pas par la porte, nous l'eutrerons par la fenetre." In conclusion, the General raising his hat, briefly sand " Bonjour, Messieurs," and rode off to review the rest of the troops. ZEE IVRY'S.'" ARMY IN THE CRIMEA ( From Correspondent of the Times.) Since I last wrote to you from the Turkish camp before Sebastopol the failure of the renewed siege operations, which after the first 48 hours of bom bardment was clear to every o ne who had his eyes open , has beco me a f u i t accompli, in consequence of which our plans have been altered. The first step in this respect seems the return of the Turkish troops to Eupatoria. Already before these latter haddeftKatniesch and taken up their position on the heights along the road leading from Balaklava to the camp, ru mours were current that they would not remain long before Sebastopol ; later it was said that they would advance in company of a portion of the English and French armies. At last on Sunday, the 22d inst., the order came sud denly in 013 afternoon • for two regiments of infantry, the 2d and 4th; and for a battalion of chasseurs, to strike their tents and to proceed to Kamieseh to be re•emtarked there on the same night. Orner Pacha himself, with all his staff, led the way, and went off the next day with part of the troops above mentioned, on board the French steamer the i%legere. The remainder .and the baggage followed on board the Terrible, the French line-of battle-ship Jean airt, and an English transport-steamer. This move was so sudden that the nobody had the slightest idea of it until it took place. The reason as signed for it was that two divisions of Russian infantry had left Sebastopol, and gone in a northern direction, and that, consequently, an attack on Enpatoria, was ex pected. The next day the rumours increased so far that it was reported that an attack had actually taken place, and Soqie went even to the length of asserting that Eu patoria was taken. When we arrived at Eupatoria the first news we ------------- heard w as that the rumour of an attack was indeed d rn pa o l t:r ha w t h . fircohmhasdehnaostt comeSebastopol t a fro E mu nothing more than rumour, and, strange to s a y, a' rat Eupatetia is as I left it, except that the fortifies a il the paEtourPiaat.c)ria. tions t are now quite completed, and nearly troops h a ve pitched their tents outside the town. ArBIL 28. The rest of the Turkish corps, which went from 130,6 to S e ba s topol, is, with the exception of on et to Sebasto• coming back. The first brigade is every moment est: p_ected. The Egyptians will remain for the preseiul_ shortly;Rumour says that French troops will likewise arr 6 Ara duo. 3 _ Although I sent off a letter yesterday, yet, as I _, know when I shall have an opportunity for seno.a another, ribi I take advantage of the departure of thel" e to add something to my last. 10 1 ' 6 The rest of the Turkish troops, which Omar • bad left at Sebastopol, • b'✓• • to Arr ife. are egmning The Sidon t batch and the :Valorous brought the firs .9, of them. Yesterday several Fr and a Turin s. steamer brought likewise a ofthem, part infantrl 6'' well as artillery. t 4 1 So the only result of this precipitate roovemen. the have an been the expenditure of some hundred tons of bendefaittnP to the neighbourhood of Sebastopol for of the Turkish troops. _........ - r-- - ------- ---- --'-'.7-...--.—..—_—___.------- HOYLAKE RACES. -~- -_ (WEDNESDAY.)
