The summer is rapidly passing away, and great anxiety is naturally fat as to the result of the operations in the Crimea and the Baltic. The letter from the Emperor NAPOLEON to General PELISSIEF which appeared in The San of yesterday, is of a I very satisfactory character, and goes far to prove that sooner or later complete success will attend i r the Allied arc's in the E as t , an d that there will be no withdrawal from, or inactivity in, the Crimea, until the "standing menace " to Constantinople and to Europe is completely demolished. The ‘ EMPEROR requests his general to inform the "biave soldier* who, for more than a year have I supported unheard-of fatigue, that the end of their trials is not far distant." Adding 'emphatically, " Sebastopol, I hope, will soon fall under their - i blows ; and should that event bci postponed, 11 know from sources, which I believe to • be sure, fi a t th e R uss i an , army cannot maintain the straggic'! in, the Crimea daring the winter ! " We have, therefore, unexceptionable evidence to show that, implicit reliance may be placed on the eventual triumph of our arms, and that, should the deferidera of Sebastopol be enabled to repel the vigordue onslaughts to which they will be snbjeCted, they must, inevitably yield to the irresistible attacks.of famine. The EMPEROR, indicateS a more brilliant as well as a, more speedy termination to their labours. He hopes that "Sebastopol will soon fall under their blows ;" and he gives exiaression to this feeling with the full knowledge of the contem plated measures for the complete reduction of " the contemptuous city." That some energetic effort will shortly be made . seems certain. The carrying of the ambuscade on the glacis of the Malakhoff on Friday laSt, a telegraphic account whereof appeared iu our impreseiou of yesterday, may have been but " the beginning of the end." ,That it was regarded as. a matter of vast impor tance by the besieged may easily be judged from the desperate attempt to retake it, in which they lost no less than 300 men ; and the simple fact that the French have established. a definitive footing on the glacis, and that the work has been turned against " the key of their position," must exercise no inconsiderable influence on the result. But the greatest certainty must depend on the failure of the supplies. Hitherto Sebastopol has been • exempted from the ordinary fate of a be leaguered fortress. It has, during the entire period of the siege, maintained undisturbed communications with the surrounding country and the Russian army in the field, and received all the stores that could be spared by them. Until the destruction of the granaries at Kerteh and in the Sea of ..A.zoff there was no ink of pro visions—no less than 1,500 waggons per diem were despatched from these districts, for the use of the army in the field and of the garrison, an the blocking up of that source must have occa sioned considerable scarcity in both quarters. In deed the desperate a►,d reckless attack on the position on the Tchernaya may be mainly attri buted to the deficiency of the Commissariat, and the necessity of creating some diversion in favour of the under-fed troops and garrison. The operations in the Sea of Azofl' rendered the destruction of Sebastopol inevitable. The struggle may be protracted, but the result is cer tain, unless the Russians can procure fresh sup plies, and render them available, not only for the besieged, but for the relieving and auxiliary army. We have long felt that, with proper care on the part of the Allies, this will be impossi ble, and the letter of the EgrEnon affords the strongest confirmation of the view we have taken. But now that the important cousequenees of the expedition to Kertch and the Sea of Azoli have been clearly ascertained, why, we ask, have not similar operations been attempted against the Cherson and Nicolaieff ? Why has there been no attempt made to cut off the supplies trans• naitted by the I s thmus of Perekop ? It has been clearly and unequivocally demonstrated that a resort to Russian tactics, in the way of destroyi ng the enemy's resources, may produce the most de cisive results. If we only cut o ff the enemy' s , supplies they must yield, and the greater their numerical force the more speedy -will be their fall. The taking of the town by storm would unquestionably be a more brilliant and glorious conclusion. But, considering the losses we have ourselves sustained, we are not, and cannot be, justified in disregarding any means that way cripple the enemy and compel them to make early submission. We had hoped that the policy " which spared Odessa " had been long duce abandoned by our Government, and that the attempt to wage " a rose-water war," would be completely and decisively abandoned. Fas est ab haste decal., and on this point we receive a valu able lesson from Muscovite tactics. COURT CIRCULAR. PALACE OF ST. CLOUD, AUG. 26. Her Majesty and his Royal Highness Prince Albert, the Prince of Wales, and the Princess Royal, aceom• panied the Emperor and Empress of the French to a grand ball at Versailles yesterday evening. Divine service was performed this morning in the Palace, before the Queen and Prince, the Prince of Wales, and the Princess Royal, by the Rev. Dr. Hale, Chaplain to the Embassy. The Ladies and Gentlemen_ in attendance were also present. In the Baltic, we regret to say that our pros pects are by no means so propitious. The fa vourable season was suffered to pass away in almost complete inactivity, and we now know that the boasted destruction of Sweaborg was very far indeed from what was first believed. Admiral DUNDAS himself admits that the sea defences are but little injured. The fortifications still protect Helsingfors, which has not been interfered with, notwithstanding its courtingattack by firing on our boats. The destruction of the stores and arsenals was of course valuable, but it was not alone a sufficient performance for the most powerful naval arma ment ever placed under the command of a Bri tish officer. Admiral DUNDAS may rest assured that the people will not be contented unless some f heavier blow be inflicted on the enemy. He may be crippled by secret instructions. With Sir CHARLES WOOD at the head of the department, that is, to say the least of it, very probable. But the censure will fall chiefly on him, for the people will not and cannot believe that a Commander-in-Chief has not sufficient power to strike a heavy blow against the enemy, or if that power be withheld, that it is not his duty to resign rather than to remain a puppet, whose strings are pulled in Whitehall, and who lends his name and character to the improper ob ject of deceiving the country. If something be - .not done against Cronstadt, we shall not greatly eavy the future fame of Admiral the Honourable :RICHARD SAUNDERS DUNDAS. Sir J. Emerson Tennent left town yesterday for the continent. Despatches were received at the Colonial-office yes terday from the Governors of the North American Pro vince.. THE COURT.—Her Majesty and his Royal Highness Prince Albert, with the royal family, will remain at the Isle of Wight until the sth proximo, when they will come to Buckingham Palace. On th e following morn ing, at eight o'clock, the Queen and the Prince Consort with the royal children and household suite, will take their departure for Balmoral, travelling by special train , on the Great Northern line from King's-cross. The Court will sleep at Edinburgh one night, and on the following morning proceed by rail to Banchory, where the royal carriages will be in readiness to convey them to Balmoral. The return of the Court to Windsor will be between the 9th and 12th of October next. His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge arrived at St. James's Palace yesterday, from visiting Lady Marian Alford. The Duchess of Argyll and infant daughter are pro gressing very favourably. The Marquis of Anglesey and family are passing the season at Worthing. The Earl of Westmoreland has gone on a tour of visits in the north, after visiting Apthorpe House, his seat in Northamptonshire. The Earl and Countess of Lucan have been plunged into the deepest grief by the premature demise of Lady Anne Bingham, their youngest daughter. The melan choly event took place on Sunday last, at Laleham, near Staines. The youthful deceased was only in the fifteenth year of her age. The Earl and Countess of Bective have arrived at the Lodge, Virginia, Ireland, from the Isle of Wight. Viscount and Viscountess Folkestone have sustained a domestic bereavement by the death of their infant son, which took place on Friday. Lord Blantyre is still at Carlsbad, and is not ex pected borne until the week after next. Sir J. Emerson Tennent left town yesterday for the continent. Major Stopford Claremont, Assistant-Commissioner at the French heat?-quarters in the army of the Crimea, arrived yesterday at the Foreign-office, with despatches. The recruiting for the Anglo-Italian Legion is pro ceeding with great success at Turin. The advices from the city of Mexico are to the sth of August. The Government troops were losing ground daily. The cholera has spread from Pesth to all parts of Hungary, and is extremely violent in some of the dis tricts near the river Theise. Commander Laurenza,na, a Neapolitan Colonel under Murat, lately died at Genoa, in the 80th year of his age. He was fcr several years a prisoner of Dr. Francia, in Paraguay. and, having been constantly kept there at work in the fields, he was nearly bent double. Mine. Lafont, recently arrived at the Grand Opera, Paris, is understood to be engaged for London next year. The performances' of Mme. Ristori and the Italian company at Paris close next week. In addition to her engagement at Vienna this lady will, before returning to Italy, perform at Lyons and other principal cities in the south of France. A telegraphic despatch from Paris states that General Sir Arthur Torrens was buried at Pere la, Chaise yester day morning. The Government has agreed to grant a pension to the mother of Dr. James Thomson, of the 44th, who dis tinguished himself so signally in waiting upon the Rus sion wounded after the battle' of the Alma. THE AMBASSADOR OF FRANCE.--His Excellency Count Persigny, invited to come to St. Cloud during the Queen's visit, by a direct and personal despatch from his Imperial Majesty the Emperor, left town on Thurs day last, and is expected back at Albert-gate in the course of next week. HAILEYBURY COLLEGE.—By an act of the late session (18 and 19 Viet., c. 53), the East India Company are to be relieved from maintaining Haileybury College. It is Nobly have the French people and their chosen EMPEROR repaid the grand popular ovation and •tire hearty regal and civic hospitalities that sigh malised the visit of the latter to the shores of That her Majesty the QUEEN would meet with ia magnificent and cordial reception no one doubted t 1 -who knew anything of Frenchmen and their en it lightened Ruler. The history of France is the q history of a chivalrous people, and the character of centuries is not lost in a day. But even we, who by no mean; anticipated least, have been agreeably surprised, not so much by the splendour of the display as by the depth and extent of the cordiality with which our QUEEN was welcomed. 1 On the Boulevards, in the Champs Elysee, at the 1 1 Tuileries, at the Opera, her reception lacked nothing that could possibly be desired. It ! was enthusiastic and universal beyond pre •cedent, at .once worthy of the people and - .the occasion, and full of hopeful augury for tie destinie3 of Europe. The grandeur and wamntli even of the Imperial hospitalities, signal :as they were, paled before it. France, no less :frankly and unreservedly than her magnanimous ' ruler, held out the right hand of amity to the Island Queen. A fitting termination this to centuries of mis understanding and rivalry, a splendid finale to . the inauguration of a union that we trust will last for centuries to come. A union brought about, not by dynastic, but by national and Euro :pean necessities, and founded on the most endur :ittg basis a due appreciation of each other's -worth, and of the high part they are unitedly galled upon to play in the civilisation of the Nkvorld. A union to the permanency of which we areh4py to say the womanly virtues and graceful .dpmeanour of out Queen, as to its inauguration :and institution, the sagacity and magnanimity of :iIAroLEON, have largely contributed. A union - the despots of the Continent, already tremble at Kind cannot break,. and to which the down-trodden INoplo look as to ate star, of their deliverance. to be closed from the 31st oVJanuary, 1858. No person is to be admitted as a student after the 25th of January next. ASFIEURTO7. , T, DEVON.—The Prince de Joinville and suite spent Friday la, , t in this town, visiting the far famed river and wild scenery in the woods, on the banks Altnion not of courtly protestations and hollow ctn. - en - tonics, cloaking festering antipathies, but a union of policy and inclination, characterised by a trank reciprocation of thought And feeling, accom panied by loyal action on the part of both monarchs and people. A union inaugurated in London and in Paris, in the Bl!nck Sea, the Oil -Anea, and Ow Baltic, and coltsecrt.ted by the blood and devotion of heroes and patriots. A union, in a word, as perfect as the rivAlry and bitterness between the parties was previously intense, and likely to be not less productive cif good than that which it _supersedes was of evil.. That it may be so is our ardent desire ; that it. will is our confi dent belief. of thelbeautiful river Dart. le ter received in this quarter (Glasgow Daily Mail) from one of the crew of the gun-boat Stork, which took part in the bombardment of Sveeaborg, states that the officers of that vessel, by means of their telescopes, saw the Russians removing the dead in cart-loads. The Piedmontese Gazette of the 23d instant announces that the sanitary condition of the crews of the ships of the Sardinian naval division in the East was satisfac tory. That division consisted of the steam-frigate Carlo Alberto, the Governolo, Constituzione, Malfatano, Be. raldo, Golnara, and Tripoli. The cholera is still doing much mischief in the vil lages of Lombardy and the Venetian provinces, and, strange to say, this year the situations most likely to be exempt by altitude, L'tc , have suffered most ; thus, the small towns in the Varse and at the foot of the Alps have been more severely attacked than Milan or Venice. Our police authorities, sass the Glasgow Daily Mail, have exemplified a liberal spirit in orders for a good supply of newspapers to be furnished daily to the various police districts throughout the ,city. This ar rangement to c - Jme into operation from the Ist proximo. TOTNES. —Up to Saturday there were various rumours as to the gentlemen likely to contest the borough, and .bree car four names of candidates were mentioned. The iberals, however, are strong enough to return a re 'prtner, which they will do whenever the election takes place . Monday, the 3d of September, has been fixed as a special settling day for Antwerp and Rctterdain Rail :vay obligations, Ardennes Railway Shares, and Great Western of Canada new shares, the whole of which are to be marked in the official list. ARRIVAL OF TROD ',PS FROM ALDERSHOT This morning, shortly after ten o 'clock - , the neighbour hood of the South-Western Baths ray in the Waterloc road was the scene of great exciter lent, in consequence ef the arrival of the detachment o F Coldstream Guards lat&y quartered at the camp. A g ;seat number of per sons accompanied the soldiers on th kir march to the St. George's Barracks, as it was sapp Ased by the majority of the crowd that they were to del Mrt immediately for the Crimea. At half-past one the E acne excitement was occasioned by the arrival of the Sco is Fusiliers from the sarno place. The quarters vacated by the Coldstrearos and Scots Fusiliers will be occupied by two battalions of Grenadier Guards, who left Lonch m at about twenty minutes to two. AMSTERDAM AND ROTTERDAM PRODUCE-MARKETS.— The weekly reviews from the Amsterdam and .Rotter lam pro('uce•markets state that, although business had Seen less active, quotations continued to be well sup ;)crted. The letters from Rouen mention that increased purchases of manufactures had taken place, and that some descriptions had brought rather higher prices. DEPARTURES FROM THE PORT OF LONDON.—The de partures for the Australian colonies during the past week have comprised five vessels—three to Port Philip, one to Sydney, and one to Adelaide—with an aggregate capacity of 3,151 tons. The rates of freight have not exhibited any material alteration. _ _ STATE OP PANAalA.—Acconnts from New Granada mention that the provinces of the isthmus—namely, Panama, Azuero, Veragua, and Chiriqui—have been formally constituted into one Government under the title of the State of Panama, with a distinct legislature, which assembled for the first time at Panama on the 15th of July. On the Panama railway an electric telegraph was in course of construction, and would shortly be completed. Cum.—From Chili the advices are to the 30th of June. Congress was in session, and among the bills before it- was one to establish a hank of deposit at Val paraiso ; another, to form a loan-office ; and another, to facilitate the raising of money on lands in order to their improvement. About 200,0001. had been subscribed for a railroad from Santiago to Tales, and the Government were expected to contribute a like sum. PERM—From Peru the dates are to the 11th of July. In political affairs there was nothing new. There bad been some revival of the gold mining excitement, and several companies were in course of organisation. One party had left fo; the mines, and an "American com pany" were to leave in about a month. The Government had issued orders to supply them with firearms, including two pieces of cannon, ammunition, provisions, mules, &c. PEEL RIVER COMPANY.—This company have received advices from their superintendent, Mr. King, up to the 38 t h May, forwarding Mr. Odernheimer's third minera logical report, which is favourable in respect to that por tion of the land formerly leased to the Cordillera Corn pany. However, at the continued high rates for labour, it had not been considered desirable to work the ground on the company's account, but rather to throw open the whole of their gold-fields to the diggers on the licensing ystem. Mr. King considers that he shall not have any difficplty in obtaining a fee of 31. for each man per month, but rather entertains expectations that a large number of people will come forward. TILE GREAT WIZARD 01 r THE NORTH. Tile public will be delighted to learn that Frofessor Anderson, the unrivalled magician y who has performed before the most of the crowned h tads in Europe, luq; taken the Lyceum Theatre for , 1 limited number of nights, previous to his retiring ft 'OM public life. The Professor has added to his store c f magical illusions an initnense number of new tricks of the most wondrous nature, and we have not the sli; :htest doubt but the evening levees of "his Majesty " - will be attended, as they have hitherto been, by crc nvded and delighted {ndiences. HEALTH OF THE EMPI-Z 'SS _EUGENIE. Tice public will, no doubt, h a% remar k ed that the Empress Elwenia has taken but lit 11 a part in the public festivities celebrated last week in P arts. For this care of her Majesty's health there is ev 'e ry reason to believe that there is a most satisfactory c to se ; and, indeed, it is known that Queen Victoria w: is most anxious and pressing in her kind advices to th 3 Empress to observe every precaution on which so kw, 'rtant a future may depend. - We expect confidently that, at > 1( ► distant date, the official Moniteur, according to the quette of France, will announce to the nation the negnancy of the Empress. THE MAILS.—SOUTHAMPTON, Aug. 27.—The Penin sular and Oriental Company's steam-ship Tagus, Cap tain Weekes, sailed this afternoon with the usual mails for Vigo, Oporto, Lisbon, Cadiz, and Gibraltar, 86 pas sengers, specie value 27,995/. for Cadiz, and the usual cargo.

The numbers given are various, but supposed to be about 60,000. The gardens in the neighbourhood of the band were densely crowded, and the notice requesting gentlemen not to smoke in the immediate vicinity of the band and the refreshment-room was very generally attended to, much to the satisfaction of the ladies, and those who do not indulge in that self gratification. In other parts of the gardens vast num bers of persons were seen walking and enjoying them - selves, and the whole spectacle was of a most gratifying character. There was nothing in the demeanour of this vast multitude to offend the fastidious eye of even a Sir Andrew Agnew. A great improvement has also taken place in the accommodation offered to the public as re gards chairs and Moveable seats. Until lately, these were furnished by one person, were sometimes of a very ricketty character, and the charge was 3d. each. The chairs are now nearly all new, and provided by different persons ; and a notice appears on the trees to the effect that the charge for moveable seats is not to exceed ld. Every chair was let, and hundreds of persons were seated in little groups upon the grass listening to the music, and witnessing the gay scene, which was much heightened by the fineness of the weather. Most of the nobility and gentry and members of the corps diplontatique remaining in London appeared to be present, and Sir Benjamin Hall was seen moving about in the crowd arm in arm with the Dean of Durham, apparently enjoying the scene. The following is a correct statement of the number of persons entering Kensington Gardens at each gate : . I._ The gate near the Palace, south side 2,039 2. The gate n(:,r the Palace-gate 3,640 3.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. &r,—Lord Dundoußid again enforces the powers of his " scheme." The accompanying extract from the Annual Register, 1809, shows what one of his schemes was, and how it succeeded. At the present moment it may interest your readers, as it establishes the success of his plans on a remarkable occasion, of which many among the public have only heard the name. I am, Sir, your obedient servant, A. C. August 27. "The French fleet of eight sail of the line and two frigates was blocked up in Brest harbour by the British fleet under Lord Gambier, who was compelled by wea ther to quit his station. The French fleet thus effected their escape and entered the Basque-roads, where they were joined by four more sail of the line and two fri gates. They finally anchored in Aix-roads, under the guns of their own torts. Lord Cochrane was appinted to attack them. On the 10th of April, 1809, a number of fireships having joined the fleet, preparations were at once made for the attack. " His Lordship caused 1,500 barrels of gunpowder to be started into puncheons, upon the tops of these were placed about 400 shells charged with fuse?, and upon these about 3,000 hand grenades. The puncheons were fastened together by cables wound round them and jammed tight with wedges, and moistened sand was rammed down between the casks to render it as solid as possible from stem to stern, that the resistance might render the explosion more violent. "On this vessel, dreadful to imagine, Lord Cochrane, with one lieutenant and four seamen, embarked, and fa voured by a strong northerly wind and flood tide, bore down on the enemy, accompanied by Captain Woodridge with the flreships, " The French . fleet, dismayed, endeavoured to avoid destruction by cutting their cables and running on shore. " Lord Cochrane, perceiving they bad taken the alarm, set fire to the fuse, and, with bis companions, took to the boat. " In consequence of the wind getting high the fuse burnt too quickly, so that, with desperate exertion, the heroic little party were six minutes nearer than they had calculated to be when the most tremendous, explosion that human art ever contrived took place by the burst ing at once in the air of 400 shells and 3,000 hand gre nades. "Lord Cochrane no sooner reached his ship than he proceeded to attack the French ships, thrown into con fusion or driven on shore. " The result of this affair was, that one ship of 120 guns, five of 74, and two frigates, were driven on shore, and either destroyed or rendered totally useless. One ship of 80 guns, two of 74, and one of 50 guns, and three frigates, were burnt by us or their own crews. In this hazardous operation our whole loss amounted to 30 men killed and wounded." TRU Hon. ARTILLERY COMPANY.---Sunday last being the anniversary of the birthday of his Royal Highness Prince Albert, Captain-General and Colonel of this an cient corps, the regiment mustered at an early hour at head-quarters, Finsbury, under the command of Major Barnard, for the purpose of firing a royal salute in honour of the occasion. At half-past 10 they marched the church of St. Cuthbert, Fenciturch, preceded by their band, where a very appropriate and eloquent ser mon was preached by their chaplain,'the Rev. Mr. Cox. On their return the artillery division, under the com mand of Captain Robinson, fired the salute, the battalion forming line in rear of the guns. Since the commence ment of the war the household troops have foregone the luxury of white trousers in the summer months ; on this occasion, therefore, the full parade dress and bearskins forcibly reminded one of the gay and smart appearance the Guards were wont to exhibit at similar periods in St. James's-park. _ _ The letters from Canada with regard to the harvest state that, although anxiety was caused at one period by heavy rains, the concurrent testimony of the agricul turists in the great wheat-growing districts of the upper province is that in no preceding year have the prospects of large returns been better than at present. NEW YORK.—The mercantile letters from New York this week describe little alteration. The stock market was firm, and perhaps more active than usual for the period of the year, but no material rise in quotations was likely to take place until after the arrival of some of the large supplies of gold expected from California in consequence of the increased yield of the mines. Mean while, however, the New York banks continued to dis count freely, and the money market was - therefore with out pressure. The importation of manufactured goods from Europe was large, but not excessive, and still showed a reduction as compared with the corresponding month of last year. The accounts regarding the pro ceedings on the Mexican frontier continued to excite in terest, and although they were extremely contradictory, they left little doubt that the position of Santa Anna was critical, and that the revolutionists in the northern part of the Republic were receiving open and extensive aid from large bodies of United States' sympathisers from Texas, where the principal arrangements of the insurrection seem to have been planned. AUSTRALIA. The accounts from Sydney yester day by the Ocean Chief are only two days later than those received from Melbourne by the India mail on the 221 inst. The import markets continued to improve, in consequence of the diminution of arrivals, and the impression was that in less than a year the general state of the mercantile affairs of all the Austra lian colonies will have returned to a perfectly natural and healthy position. Provisions of all kinds had expe rienced a further rise, and would be likely to remain at high rates for some months, especially as the tide of im migration was greater than ever, owing to the accessions received from other countries besides the United King dom. Within the past few days another ship had ar rived with 285 Chinese, and a brig had also been re ported with 61 settlers from Monte Video, who were to be followed by others. The rate of exchange on London had advanced to 4 premium, and hence the quantity of gold brought on this occasion is unusually large for a ship from Sydney direct. The other vessels known to have sailed are the Duke of Northumberland, with 1,712 ounces, and the Lady Wharncliffe, with 1,634 ounc es , from Sydney ; and the Eagle, with 43,979 ounces, from Melbourne, whence also the Essex, Northumberland, and Boomerang were . all on the point of early departure, most probably with considerable sums. BIRMINGHAM MUSICAL FESTIVAL. BIRMINGHAM, Monday.—The above festival, for the benefit of the General Hospital, under the patronage of her most gra cious Majesty the Queen, and most of the leading nobi lity of the kingdom, commences to-morrow morning, and promises to surpass, in point of talent and attraction, any assembly of the kind which has taken place here for some years past. The demand for tickets up to the present time has been greater than on any previous oc casion, and the pecuni ar y s uccess of the festival is now Placed beyond a doubt. INAUGURATION OF THE PEEL STATUE AT BIRMING HAM.—Monday Evening.—To-day not less than 50,000 persons assembled in this town to do honour to the memory of the above late distinguished statesman, by the inauguration ofa splendid statue, worthy of the man and the town. At half-past eleven o'clock, the com mittee, appointed shortly after the melancholy death of Sir Robert Peel, to raise a monument to his memory, the Mayor, Aldermen, and Town Councillors of the borough, and a l arge num b er o f o ther gentlemen as sembled in th e W aterloo-rooms, an d a t t we l ve o ' c l oc k walked in procession to the top of New-street, where a splendid bronze statue has been raised on an appropriate Pedestal. The concourse of persons in the neighbour hood was immense, and the utmost interest felt by all present to witness the ceremony. A large platform, erected in front of the st etue, was occupied by the cor poration and their friends, and every window from which a view could be obtained was occupied by ladies. Shortly before twelve o'clock the Hon. and Rev. G. M. Yorke addressed the assembly, and the statue was un covered amid enthusiastic cheering. An address was then read by the Town Clerk, after which the Mayor, J. Palmer, Esq., eloquently acknowledged the gift to the town, and the proceedings terminated with votes of thanks to the'several gentlemen who were chiefly instru mental in the inauguration. AUGUST 28, 1855 r7l 0- f MARSEILLES, AUG. 27. The Carmel has arrived with accounts from Constantinople to the 20th. The Sultan has de cided that 25 battalions taken from the Turkish troops in the Crimea and from the Danube shall be sent to Asia. Oiner Pacha, as well as Hussein Pacha, iras to leave on the 21st for Batoum. Lord Stratford de Redcliffe was about to embark for the Crimea, where he will present insignia of the Order of the Bath to several generals. Ge neral Pelissier, in an order of the day of the 17th, congratulates the army of the Tohernaya on hav ing by its victory of the 16th worthily celebrated the fete of the Emperor. The Russians, says General Pelissier, have lost more than 6,000 men, and have left in the hands of the allies 2,200 wounded and prisoners. Among the officers who have distinguished themselves the order of the day Mentions Generals Herbillon and de Failly, as well as Colonel Forgeot, of the artillery, and adds, that the cavalry under General Morris were ready to have followed up the pursuit of the enemy, but that the General-in-Chief, who does not lose sight of the principal object of the great enterprise in which France is engaged, wished to spare useless bloodshed, after having once more proved the superiority of the French infantry over the vaunted Russian troops. THE OVERLAND MAIL. We have received the following telegraphic de spatch from Trieste : TRIESTE, MONDAY, Amt. 27. The steamer Calcutta arrived here this morn ing at a quarter to ten, in 127 hours from Alexandria. The India and China mails left Alexandria on the 21st of August, with advices from Calcutta cf the 19th of July ; Bombay, 30th of July ; Can ton, July 8 ; Hong Kong, July 10. An insurrection had occurred among the San tals in Rajmahal, in Bengal. The American ship Lightfoot, 200 tons, has been lost of Saugor. Trade in India was quiet.

This morning:, at a quarter-past 7, I descried the Victoria and Albert Royal standard just above the horizon, about 20 miles beyond the Nab light-ship. At half-past r the hull of the Royal yacht be came visible, an a at 10 minutes past 8 she passed the Nab. On passing . Chrough Spithead, a few minutes later, the garri son battery at Portsmouth fired a Royal salute, amuouneing the Queen's return. The Royal yacht arrived off Osborne at about a quarter to 9. The Vivid was next, following the Victoria and Albert, the Osborne followed the Vivid, the dis tance between ‘,l tch vessel being about five or six Weather beD FRANCE. PARIS, AUGUST 27. Yesterday, 21+:1 August, being the anniversary of Prince Albert"s birthday, the Emperor conceived the idea of giving his guest a military salute of a kind unusual in England. All the drummers of the various co rris of the garrison were ordered to St. Cloud early.. They mustered at half-past eight in front of the. bridge, all in full uniform, and headed by the senior drum major. They then pro ceeded to the 'Cour d'Honneur, and immediately commenced the' salute, with which the Royal party were pinch aura sed. We read in the Itfoniteur :—" The number of letters address a d to the Queen of England during her residence r St. Cloud has been so great that it has been imp( )s;sible to send immediate answers to all of them, b u t they will be replied to hereafter." The Queen o f England has authorised the muni cipal authorit ie s to give her name to the new line of communic: ition opened between the Place de l'Hotel de Vi lie and the Place du Chatelet. The llionit,!trx says :—" The Earl of Clarendon, Minister of F o: reign Affairs to her Britannic Ma jesty, went yi terday to the Hotel of the French Minister of 1 '(,reign Affairs, and had a long con ference with ( :fount Walewski." The Monit rar publishes a decree authorising a number of y ersons to accept and wear foreign orders. Am( angst them is M. Magne, the Minister of Finance, vi eh° has received the rand Cross , of the Portugue ao order of our Lady of the Concep tion of Villa Vicosa. The Englii lit steamer Robert Lowe left Marseilles on Saturday with 900 men on board for the East. The steam-fl gate Orinoco, and the Zenobie fri gate, have al n a left the same port for the Black Sal with troops id stores. The Piesse d'Orient says :—" The 2d regimen t of Turkish C o ssacks, which is completely formed , has received orders to proceed from Schumla t o Varna for er a barkation.

The Colagne Gazette contains the following fron Vienna of the 21st :—" The Turkish Ambassador Arif-Effendi, had a long conference with Coun t Buol yesterday ; the question of the project formec, by the Western Powers to transport the theatre_o r war to the Danube next spring was the object of this conference. Austria does not entirely approve of this project, and has already made it the sub ject of representation at Constantinople. It is saw--that-Arif-Effendi has.handed to Count Buol the reply of his government to that note." PRUSSIA. A letter from Berlin of the 22d, in the Augs burg Gazette, says :—" The last circular of the Austrian Cabinet was not intended to be handed to the German Cabinets, but had rather the character of instructions addressed to the representatives of Austria, as to the lan guage which they were to hold with regard to the resolution of the Diet of the 26th July. This ex plains why it has been said that it had not been communicated to the Cabinet of Berlin. This latter Cabinet has replied in the same manner, by charging its ambassador at Vienna to make known to Count Buol the contents of a despatch trans mitted to that ambassador. As to the Austrian despatch the contents of it are as follows Count de .Buol begins by expressing his satisfaction at the union which has been arrived at in the Diet as re gards form, and attributes that result in the Fede ral sentiments which Austria has testified. But as to the question whether Austria is completely satisfied with the contents of the resolution of the 26th July, the Minister declares that to his great regret he must reply in the'negative. In the course of the document, Count de Buol observes that in the last application which it had made, the Cabinet of Vienna wished to induce the Diet to formally accept the four points, and that it had re lied the mere fully on the accomplishment of that wish, that since the month of December last the Diet had expressly recognised the four points as an appropriate basis of peace. To this the Count adds that in the negotiations between the German courts the necessity of a union of all Germany on a well-determined programme was :_everal times mentioned. Never, therefore, has a better opportunity presented itself for the Diet to come to a decisive resolution with regard to the divergent interests, by unanimously and energeti cally joining in the policy of Austria. Count de Baol concludes by expressing a hope that the ulte rior development of events will determine the mem bers of the Diet, in the well-understood interest of Germany, to also adopt on their side the programme of the four points, which the allies of the 2d Dec. still maintain, and on the basis of which Russia is still disposed to negotiate, and to furnish to Aus tria, in the efforts which she may make to enforce that programme, a support which will not he sim ply theoretical." Toss's Gazette of Berlin gives the following as the reply of Prussia to the Austrian communica tion :—" The Prussian Government has replied to the circular despatch from the Cabinet of Vienna, in which the Imperial Government speaks of the resolution of the Diet of the 26th July, and ex presses a hope that Germany will end by guaran teeing the four points. This reply has been trans mitted to the Prussian Ambassador at Vienna, and is to be read by him to Count Buol.l The main point of it is the following :—lt is impossible for the Prussian Government to share in the re grets which the resolution of the 26th July causes to the Cabinet of Vienna ; on the contrary, it is very glad not to be bound to the four points, con sidering the various chances to which they have been exposed." THE BALTIC FLEET. DANTZIC, Aug. 24.—The Geyser, 7, Commander R. Dew, left Nargen last Tuesday evening, at eight o'clock, and, after a very rough passage, arrived here this morning with the weekly mails. With the bombardment of Sweaborg the opera tions of the Baltic fleet will, in all probability, be brought to a close for this season. All the mortar vessels left On the 19th : the Euryal us will con vey them as far as the Belt, and the Basilisk (which vessel, having burst one of her boilers, is going home for repairs) is to accompany them on to England. Rather an interesting fact in connection with this subject is, that during the late attack on Sweaborg the English mortar vessels alone fired 3,150 shells, weighing .500 tons, to an average distance of two miles and one furlong. No wonder, after such heavy service, that they are now sent home as unfit for further use. On the 16th Admiral Seymour arrived in the. Exmouth at Cronstadt, to take the command of the squadron stationed there; this, however, will soon be compelled, in consequence of the continued bad weather, to seek another and a safer anchor oge. Seskar Island is spoken of as the place likely to be chosen for this purpose. Admiral Baynes left Cronstadt in the Retribution on the 18th, and after communicating with the Commander-in-Chief at Nargen proceeded on a cruise up the Gulf of Bothnia. In the Russian account of the bombardment of Sweaborg, it is stated that, when the fleet left that place for Nargen on the 13th, they had a "diSabled frigate" in tow. It may be as well, if only for the sake of truth, to mention, that the "disabled frigate" was nothing more or less than our hospital ship Bellisle, which, being only a sailing vessel, is generally towed by one of the steamers. On the 15th six Russian gun-boats came out from Cronstadt, and, having intimated by their movements that-they were prepared to measure their strength with any vessel that dared to go out to meet .them, the Imperieuse, Bulldog,, and Cen taur were orders,l to slip in close and try to cut them off. The Russian gun-boats, however, beat a retreat as quickly as posSible into shallow• water, evidently in the hope that our large vessels would attempt to follow ; in this, however, they were dis appointed. The Imperieuse, Bulldog, and Centaur opened a brisk fire upon them, which was returned. The engagement lasted about two hours ; little da mage, was done on either side. The present stock of wheat at Dantzic amounts to about 2,000 1 •sts only. Wheat crops this year are said to be very de fective and inferior. RUSSIA. We have received the St. Petersburg journals of the 19th inst. The Invalide Busse publishes the following from Asia : "In a report dated the 11th (23d) of July, from the camp at the village of Tikni4, Aide-de-Camp General Mouravieff gives an account of two exploring expediti,ins happily executed on the 3d (15th) and 9th (21st) July, by the flying detachments of Major-General Baklanoff and of Colonel Kamkoff. The object of these operations was gradually to hem in more and, more the entrenched campat Kars, and to cut off the army of Anatolia, shut up in it from the provinces it has to defend, and from which it draws its provisions. " Major-General Baklainoff left the camp at Tikme on the 3d (15th( of July ; took a direction west of Karp, and suddenly appeared on the north side the same day ; dispersed a body of foragers near the place where the the small stream, the Berdyk, runs into the Kars-tchai. In this encounter two Turkish officers and seven men were made prisoners, and seven 'Curls were killed. "Advancing then on the Ardahpi road, our detach ment, after a march of 50 verstes, arrived on the 4th (16th) of July at the village of Blijny-Djdlaons, and on the sth (17th) showed itself on the high road leading from Kars to the Sandjak of Ghel, where it succeeded in making some prisoners. On the 6th (18th) Major- General Baklanoff rejoined our main body, having ex plored to a considerable distance all the roads north of Kars, and spread alarm in the neighbouring districts, without the slightest loss. " Colonel Kamkoff obtained a similar success in his excursion on the Ghel route, the only road of communi cation which the garrison of Kars had still open with Erzeroum. During the movement the leaders of the vagrant tribes offered bread and salt to our troops. Colonel Kamkoff penetrated far into the unknown parts of the Sandjak of Ghel, forced the enemy's convoys that were follow►ng that road to disperse, and interrupted all communication on the Ghel road, so important to the army of Anatolia. " - The precarious position of the latter is beginning to show itself by desertion. Its soldiers not only seek a refuge in the neighbouring villages, but even 'in our camp. At Kars itself the price of bread has increased threefold la one month." _ _ Under date of the sth (17th) of August, the Military Governor of St. Petersburg has issued the following notification : " On the 4th (16th) of August, about noon, six of our gun-boats, of Rear-Admiral Moffet's detachment, pro ceeded beyond the Tonlboukin Lighthouse to recon noitre the enemy, who sent a screw' frigate and two floating steam batteries against them, whilst three screw men-of-war got up their steam. " Having let them approach within long range, Rear- Admiral Moffat retired, firing all the time, under the protection of the fortifications. A. 3 far as it was able to be observed, one of the enemy's steamers received three shots in her hull. Not one of our gun-boats was touched. Before coining within range of the cannon of the forts the enemy's vessels ported helm, and rejoined their fleet, hi which no other movement was visible.
