I may aid that the officers and men did their duty with alacrity, and seemed anxious to have an oppor tunity of meeting the enemy. I have particularly to call your attention to the steady and cool conduct of Lieu tenant Hood, who rode over the field this morning, after the action, and ascertained that our shot and rockets were well directed, and appeared to fall exactly in the right place ; ho has recovered many of our shot at a time when we most need them. I have likewise groat satisfaction in bringing before your notice the zeal and intelligence of Mr. Brine, mate of the Leander, in charge of two 18- pounder merchant ship's guns, at the Hospital post, and he has reported to me the good conduct of James Mon gomery, leading seaman of her Majesty's ship Leander ; I beg to recommend him to your favourable consideration. The Tartars say the Russians lost many men, as they saw many saddles vacant. I have great pleasure in particularising the conduct of Mr. Hamilton, senior lieutenant of the Leander, from whom' have received the most efficient assistance through out these trying times to both officers and men, as well as that of Messrs. Irvine, mate of the Me i c,qera, Dupuis, mid shipman of the Leander, Phillips, master's-assistant of the I,legrera, who has acted as my aide-de-camp, Doctor Blake, assistant-surgeon of the Leander, and the Reverend S.

The steam-ships in want of men will have their complements made up as far as possible by draughts of volunteers from the above-mentioned sailing ships. The James Watt, Powerful, and Pylades, from Portsmouth harbour, Greenock, and Sheerness, joined the fleet yester day. All the admirals, captains, and commanders were entertained at it parting banquet at the Admiralty-house last night by Lady and Vice-Admiral iir Thomas Coch rane, K.C.8., the Commander-in-Chief of the Port. 91 THE SCREW FLEET-TO WHOM ARE WE MAINLY INDEBTED ? The departure from Spithead of an entire fleet of screw ships, of greater force than ever left a British port before, is an event which inevitably suggests the question—" To whom is England indebted for tke introduction of screw propulsion, which has thus enabled her to send forth the most powerful steam fleet the world ever saw?" 1V.:? have repeatedly shown that the person to whose exertions this result is mainly due is Mr. Francis Pettit Smith, and that the national service thus rendered has met with neither public recognition nor reward. Some of those who have had the best means of knowing the true value and extent of his services have united their efforts to remove this charge of national neglect, by promoting a subscription, entitled tho " Smith Tes timenial Fund ;" and in publishing the list of subscribers to this fund, in which the names of almost every ship building and engineering firm appears, they remark, " that when it is known that the nation next in naval awer to ourselves have awarded t o our count r yman the honour of this great maritime i m p ro vement, his own na tion and government will no t continue to withhold from him an act of substantialjustice."—Mo 7'12 mg previous the exertions of (For years t.o Herald. Mr, Smith, w THE MILITIA. The North Lincoln Militia, now assembled at Lincoln, having for some time laboured under a wrong impression that they were not liable to serve more than 56 days in any one year, and some of them having entertained an opinion that part of the bounty was held back, the commanding officer, Lienteuant-Colonel Ellisen, explained to the men the exact position they held, and how erroneous their im pressions as to the period of servitude were. The men heard the commander with respectful attention, and he, having explained everything to them to their perfect satis faction, complimented them on the very general good con duct of the regiment. On Thursday three companies (the Grenadiers, No. 1 and No. 7) left Lincoln for Dover, and it is expected that tho whole of the regiment will shortly leave. Recruiting for the Royal South Lincoln Militia, is pro gressing very satisfactorily at Grantham, about 2110 men having been already enrolled and despatched to the head quarters at Chichester. The Notts Militia still remains embodied at Newark. Earl Vane, the Lieutenant-Colonel commanding the North Durham Regiment of Militia, having received orders from the War-office to permit those men who might desire it, who had been enrolled under the Militia .A.ct of 1852, to return to their homes on completing 56 days' training and exercise, on Wednesday last the greater number of the men claimed their release, and were permitted to withdraw accordingly. About 22, however, volunteered for perma nent service, and were re-attested, receiving an additional bounty of 11, per man. On Thursday morning the regi ment, which had numbered 260 the day before, only mus tered 85 on parade. The majority of the South Durham Regiment, who had arrived at a high state of efficiency, and were ordered to be in readiness to march in a few days to the camp at Aldershott, have also largely availed themselves of the op portunity of retiring, and do not new muster more than about 100 men. A large numbar of the York Rifles have also declined further service this )ear. RAILWAY TRAFEIC RETURNS. TRAFFIC RETURNS FOR THE PAST WEEK.

My Lord,—l have the nonour to forward to your lord ship copy of a despatch, dated 10th July, which I addressed to his Highness Omer Pacha after the action of the 7th July, at Rouschouk, and the passage of the Danube. I take the liberty earnestly to recommend to your lord ship's nest favourable notice the three surviving British officers therein named, who served under my orders on that day, and I say it without fear of contradiction, that had they not, by their gallantry and firmness, led on the Turkish troops in the manner they did, the fate of that eventful day might have proved to be widely different. Their names aro Lieutenant-Colonels Balfour Ogilvy, Hinde, and Ballard, all of the Indian Army.---1 have, &c., P. CANNON, Major-General. To Right Hon. the Earl of Clarendon, K.G., G.C.B. Enclosure. Rouschouk, July 10, 1854. Highness,—lt being my duty to bring under your High- ness's favourable notice the conduct of the British officers engaged in the action of the 7th instant, and the passage of the Danube, I have the honour to state that I crossed the river on that morning, with the first body of troops, under the command of Ferik Beker Pasha, acocaupanied by Captain Bent, of the lioyal Engineers, and Lieute nant Ballard, of the Bombay Engineers. These two offi cers wore conspicuous for their gallantry in leading on our light infantry troops against the Russians, and successfully carried everything before them, until strong reinforcements of the enemy arrested their progress. At this critical moment my aide-de-camp, Lieut.• Colonel 'Toner Boy (Balfour Ogilvy), who had crossed higher up the river, with a body of 500 men, arrived, and with him Lieutenant-Colonel Beyzad Bey (Hinde). Those two offi cers fought their way in the most gallant and spirited manner, and succeeded in forming a timely junction with the main body of our troops. It is with pain I have to inform your highness that Lieutenant Burke, of the Royal Engineers, was killed whilst acting with a detached body of our troops. I have also the melancholy duty to record the death of Captain Arnold,- of the 31 Regiment of Madras Light Infantry, and Lieutenant Meynell, of her Majesty's 75th Regiment of Foot, both serving on my personal staff.

THE CALEDONIAN RAILWAY COMPANY. V. G. OGILVEY, OP COVE.—JUDGMENT. Sir F. Kelly and Mr. Rolt appeared for the appel- • lants, and the Solicitor-General, with Mr. Anderson, represented the - respondents; This was an appeal from interlocutors pronounced by the Court. of Session in Scotland in an action brought by. the railway company against the respondent for the purpOie of reducing and setting aside the verdict and subsequent judgment of the Sheriff in a case wherein a question of compensation was in. issue for the injury which the company had done to the respondent's house and lands in the construction of their railway. Under the authority of the Lands Clauses Consolidation Act the Luna a certain portion of the respondent's land, and in his claim for compensation the latter urged as one ground for large compensation the fact that all communication leading from hie house and lands to the high road had been cut off by the course of the railway, except by passing over the railway itself on the " level," a mode of passage which, he contended, was attended with much danger to himself, his family, and his friends. It was likewise argued on his behalf that there was a larger amount of risk to be apprehended from the alarm and fright which would be created on the shores, which might have to wait while the train was approach ing and passing the level crossing ; and, further, that the said level crossing would greatly lessen the value of his estate, in the event of its being put up for sale. The amount of compensation claimed by the respondent was 2,5001., but the company offered 8001. only, whereupon he made an appeal to a jury, who awarded him 3601. as the value of the land taken, and 5601. for the damage done to the respondent's property by the level crossing over the high road. The company thereupon instituted their action to reduce and set aside this latter finding of the jury, upon the ground that it was ultra vires of the jury to find compeasation in respect of the level crossing. The Court of Session, however, pronounced in favour of the respondent ; hence the present appeal. The case having been under argument a considerable part of Tues day, the whole of Thursday, and part of to-day. The Lord Chancellor, at the conclusion of the reply, said he was clearly of opinion that the act had never contemplated giving the power to award compensation for injury inflicted to property by the construction of what were termed " level crossings" on a railway. He would therefore advise and move that their lordships should reverse the interlocutors of the Court below, and allow the appeal. Lord St. Leonards concurred. Judgment entered accordingly. REPORT OF THE CHURCH ESTATIS COMMISSIONERS.— This report appeared simultaneously with that of the English Ecclesiastical Commissioners. The commissioners state that they have directed the preparation of annuity tables, adapted to carry out the provision in the Episco pal and Capitular Estates Acts (which prohibits calcu lations on tables less favourable to the expectation of life than the life tables appended to the 12th annual re port of the Registrar-General of Births, Marriages, and Deaths), in order to facilitate the progress of enfranchise ment. The transactions approved by the Commissioners since their last report exceeded both in number and value those of the previous year. They have approved the terms agreed on in IS4 cases of sales of rever sions, and in 34 cases for the purchase of leasehold interests. The value in fee of the estates so agreed Itoto be dealt with exceeds 900,0001. Acting under the provision of the act of the sossion of 1854, the commissioners have paid over to the common fund. of the Ecclesiastical Commissioners for England and Wales two sums of 100,0001. each in respect of the sur plus proceeds of enfranchisement, and on tho final ad justment of all their transactions a further sum of con siderable amount will become payable. The general re suit of the proceedings under the act of 1851, from August in that year to the Ist of-March, 1854, was that the commissioners bad approved the terms agreed in 30 cases, involving property of the value in fee o! 1,400,0001., and also that the Ecclesiastical Commis , sioners had made, during the same period, 312 agree ments, involving property of the value in fee 0f1,700,000/., so that the value of the church estates dealt with in the preceding two years and a half exceeded in the aggre gate 3,000,0001.
