Not more anxiouslygof the mystic did BnrsuAZZAßawait e prophet's decypherincha r c characters than all England now listens for the Allied inter pretation of the Four Points. Are we made fools of or not ? Are we sold or not ? The solicitude is now almost equally divided between the trenches before Sebastopol and the conference-room at Vienna. Go into what circle we will, hearken to the chatting of porters over their cups, of gentle men at their clubs, or questions and answers ex changed in the scant intervals of business, and the uneasiness of all is found to turn on the question— What was the " interpretation" given by the Vienna prophets, and caught at by the St. Peters burg despot ? Was the razing of Sebastopol part of it or not ? Every Englishman of every grade feels that he has a stake in this. His judgment is satisfied that it is a necessity, and his feelings of national honour would bring the blood into his cheeks if he could believe that any " interpreta tion" was so base as to sound a retreat from the Crimea with the fortifications of Sebastopol stand ing. And well may every man quake. On the one side he has an Autocrat who cannot be supposed to have consented to his own dis grace and enfeeblement ; on the other, a Govern ment whose Premier has ti vhined about peace when it seemed hopeless, and may be presumed to have allowed very mischiorous interpretations in order to get it. Between both is Austria, without a single care for anything but trimming the balance to save herself, let who will go over board. At Paris, at Vienna, evelysthere, indeed, the anxiety seems universal. Every indication of vi gour in the pending hostilities is noted as showing that peace is not hoped for by the Allies, but then again it may equally be attvibuted to the uni versal conviction that Peace it salt' will depend upon the energy with which the war is prosecuted. Such a double view was taken, for instance, of the EMPEROR'S dismissing the 1 rieperial Guard from Paris with the charge to go :ultd gather the lau rels which yet remained to , be won in the Crimea. Possibly some Fren c;h State document may enlighten us sooner ; if mot, our representa tives will, we trust, demand 5a Iformation on the 23d. There may be inconveniences in discussing military or naval arrangements :in Parliament; all we can do is to commit them to trustworthy hands, and respect the secrecy necessar r against an enemy. In this case, however, secret 3y can only serve the enemy, enabling him to ob lain from a pliable Cabinet what he never could ha:vte filched from the nation it represents. For ours el ves we strongly inclin© to think that the "ii iterpretation" is another Vienna Note. That nsy thing explicit is said about Sebastopol, that tl to " diminution," and, perhaps, the "causing to lease," (faire cesser) the Russian domiji;ition in the Black Sea may be inclu df d, but that there it stops. But what a pretty security were it for the future to leave tit e pirate's nest as unassailable as over, and ready at any convenient time to be filled afresh with. sa - accessors to the murderous, yet skulking, heroes a I Sinop° ! Rue sia was cunning (supposing here to mean peace; in trying to get preliminaries set . tied before the British Parliament meets ; and 'te . set our Minis- terialists and Opposition, if she c 1, to fight their battle over an accomplished fact., After all, how- ever, no mortal can tell whether tiLe mad Monarch is not merely endeavouring to gum time, to put the Allies seemingly in the wrong, and then to wreak his vengeance on Austria ef tpecially. The adhesion of Piedmont to the Allies, men tioned in our last, is an event of pleasing inter est ; she will, perhaps, not be alb le to take any direct part in the War, yet thei verdict of the most politically liberal of Contiw3ntal States, of the Government which has lon,g, been pursuing such a steady, respectable courtie of reform in all her institutions, must have its weight. It must, if the War continues, rouse the blood of the Scandinavian nations to see a State like Pied mont sharing the honours of au Allianc6in which they are far more interested. Belgium, mercenary by nature, must yet blush for her position ; the German States, and, above all, their would be leader, Prussia, must feel more than ever the ignominy of their position. An unasked and honourable act like this nau:it have some effec wherever anything of honour is still left in the breasts of courts or people. Will it have any weight in the United States of America ? Every liberal European, indeed every nobler-minded Ame rican, must be ashamed of :much of the Anglo- Saxon exhibition of feeling across the Atlantic in respect to this contest. It seems to resolve itself " wishing that Englaltd may get a lick- Heedless of their old ally in the TEE FRENCH LOAN. Three thousand persons, chiefly of the working classes and servants, formed a queue before day light this (Friday) morning, waiting until the offi ces were opened at the Treasury ; and so anxious wore people to get near the doors that 30, 40, and even 50 francs were paid for places. A letter from Bordeaux this morning states that the peasants and farmers were coming in in crowds, headed by the mayors of the villages, to subscribe, " quite," adds the writer, "as if they were coming in to vote once more for the Presidency for life of Napoleon Buonaparte, or for the Empire."

THE WAR ON THE DANUBE We have rceived the following telegraphic dc- spatch from Vienna : VIENNA, SATURDAY, JAN. 13, 9 A.M. The Vienna Post has the following : " The war on the Danube has recommenced. " The Russians have entered the Dobrudscha. " They crossed the Danube at Tultscha, and are marching on Matschin." We have received the following telegraphic despatch from Paris : PARIS, SATURDAY, 8.30 A.M. The Moniteur announces that the blockade of the Russian ports of the Black Sea will commence after the Ist February next. A telegraphic despatch from Turin announces the death of the Queen-Dowager of Bavaria on the 12th inst. According to private accounts, of a completely reliable character, from St. Petersburg, great distress is experienced in that city, and much dissatisfaction prevails at the hardships imposed by the war. It is mentioned that in all the churches prayers are now offered for peace. As religious services in Russia are subject to the direct control of the Government, this statement is somewhat remarkable. BRUNSWICK, Jan. 6.—Hanover ani Brunswick have resolved to continue united, and to identify themselves with Austria in the affairs of the East. The secondary states are successively declaring themselves in the same sense. Tho subscriptions to the National Loan at Paris and in the departments amounted yester day evening to 890,000,000 f. The Queen of Sardinia died yesterday, at Turin, in giving birth to a Prince. General Canrobert has issued the following " General Order" upon the receipt of the Queen's despatch upon the conduct of the French troops at the battle of Inkerinan " GENERAL ORES• " The Commander:in-Chief is happy to have to communicate to the troops the expressions, most honourable for our arms, in which her M a j es t y t h e Queen of Engla n d appreciates their conduct at the battle of Inkerman. " The Queen has remarked with grateful satisfac tion the vigour with which the troops of her ally, the Emperor of the French, came to the assistance of the divisions of the English army engaged in so un equal a combat. Her Majesty is profoundly sen sible of the cordial co-operation of the Commander in -Chief, General Canrobert, and of the valiant conduct of that distinguished officer, General Bos quet. She beholds in the cheers with which the soldiers of the two nations mutually encouraged each other during the action proofs of the reciprocal esteem which this campaign and the traits of bravery it has produced hare given rise to on both sides. " Her Majesty the Queen of England could not praise in a more flattering manner the attitude of the army at the battle of Inkernaan. In marching to the aid of our brave allies - we fulfilled a duty which they themselves would fulfil towards us with that valour we know they possess, and so many proofs of which we have witnessed with our own eyes. "Head-quarters before Sebastopol, Dec. 28. "The Cauimander•iu-Chief, "CANROBERT, (Countersigned), "THE GENEZIAL CHIBF 07) THE STAFF." • THE PRINCIPALITIES. The Corriere Italian° of Vienna contains a letter from Bucharest of the Ist, which says :—" To judge by the arrangements made by the Russian Govern ment on our frontiers, it would not seem that the Czar entertains any hope of speedy peace. On the contrary, ho is preparing for a war a outrance. The neighbouring governments are teeming with troops ; corps d'armee are marching rapidly towards our frontier and towards the Crimea. A great number of men are employed. in fortifying the left bank of the Danube from the mouth of the Pruth to Kilia. Considerable forces are concentrated at Reni, and the park of artillery which is placed there consisted of upwards of 100 large guns. The entrance of the port. of Reni is provided with strong batteries, and defended by pallissades and an enormous chain. Prince Gorts?bakoff is con stantly on the road, but it is in particular along the Pruth and the Danube that he pays most at teution. On the other hand, Ibrail, Tultscha, and Isatscba are fortified according to the plans of the French and English officers." FRANCE. We have received the Paris papers of yesterday. The Moniteur says : " According to letters from the Crimea, under date of the 25th of December, the Russians made a sortie on the night of the 20th of December, on the left of the French lines, on the side of Fort Qua rantine. "The 9th battalion of Chassours-h-Pied, which was on duty, let them come up within 20 paces, when they poured a volley into them, threw them into disorder, and, then rushing forward, pursued them till they were under the guns of the forts. At the same time the Russians attacked the right of the English army, but were driven back with con siderable loss. The batteries of bombs and mortars did great havoc among them. The Russians lost two field-guns. " According to these same letters the sanitary condition of the allied armies was excellent; dysen tery had nearly disappeared, and there were no cases of cholera. The temperature was as mild as that of Italy." The Moniteur publishes the following account of the departure cf Admiral Hamelin taken from the Journal de Constantinople:— Admiral Hamelin, accompanied by M. Bonet- Willaunaez, embarked on the 24th of December, at 8 p.m., on b oar d th e P anama, which weighed anchor the following morning at 7. While getting under way the Montebello fired a salute of 19 guns, and the crows of the other vessels manned the yards and gave three cheers for the Emperor and Admiral Hamelin. "As the Panama left the Bay of Kamiesh and came among the English ships anchored outside, the Agamemnon, bearing the flag of Vice-Admiral Lyons, hoisted the French flag on the wizen, and fired a salute of 19 guns, which was responded to by the Napoleon. The English crews manned yards and cheered lustily. The crew of the Panama re sponded by shouts of 'Vive l'_Eanpereur !" Vice l'Amirat Hamelin!' Yesterday and the day before the officers of the detachments of the Imperial Guard, leaving for the Crimea, dined with the Emperor and the Empress at the Tuileries. After dinner their Majesties joined the groups of their guests ; and when the latter were taking leave, the E.mperor thus ad dressed them :—" My thoughts will follow you in the distant country, where you axe going to fight for the cause of right and for the honour of the country." These words were received with en thusiastic cries of " Vive l'Einpereur !" Vice l'lmperatrice ! " "Admiral Hamelin arrived at Constantinople on Tuesday the 26th, and proceeded to the palace of the French embassy to pay a visit to his Imperial Highness Prince Napoleon and M. Benedetti, the Charg6 d'Affaires. On the followin g day Admiral Hamelin visited th e F renc h hospitals. During this visit Vice-Admiral Ahmed Pasha, commanding the Ottoman squadron in the Black Sea, had been on board the Christophe Colombo, placed at the dis posal of Admiral Hamelin, to take leave of the French Admiral. "At .3 in the afternoon Ahmed Pasha and Itiza t th he e Grand of e e r d , i fi th re e t d e i l p a l e oza Bey p roceeded on board the Christopho Colombe, and presented Ad m i ra l H ame li n, on the part of a a e a ee n r d de in d si t g e ni h a hn of by the Sultan.

VIENNA, Jan. 9.—The Austrian Corre,sponden, the medium universally chosen by this Government for communicating to the public through the press, publishes the following communicated article re specting the important proceedings of the last few days "The public arealready aware that the plenipotentiaries of the Three Powers allied by the treaty of Dec. 2 met on the 26th ult., in consequence of a communication from the Imperial Russian Ambassador, Prince Gortschakoff, who declared himself empowered to treat generally on the subject of the well-known four points. It is also known that they haVe fixed in a more definite manner the sense and bearing of those points by their inter pretation. The imperial Russian Ambassador did not find his powers sufficiently extensive to enable him to speak on the bases thus elucidated. It was in conse quence agreed that further negotiation would bo postponed for fourteen days, during which period Prince Gortscbakeff promised to obtain further instruc tions from his court. The day before yesterday, the 6th inst., the Russian ambassador informed the imperial minister of foreign affairs, Count von Buol-Schauenstein, that the instructions which he had asked of his court bad arrived, whereon yesterday a conference was held between the imperial French and the royal Britannic ambassa dors, together with the Count von Buol and Prince Gortschakoff, at the imperial ministry of foreign affairs. From the mutual explanaCons then exchanged it re sulted that the representatives of the Four Powers were essentially agreed in their understanding of the sense and general bearing of the fundamental points, and con sequently—saving the assent of the cabinets of Paris and London yet to be obtained—a basis is gained upon which negotiations for the restoration of the peace of Europe may begin. " We greet this preliminary result with great satisfac tion, and at the same time believe We may venture to express our expectation that the high courts of France and England and the Sublime Porte will similarly see in it a result fully capable of serving as a basis for the ne gotiation of a conclusive and secure peace." RUSSIA. ODE SSA, DEc. 29. Accounts from Perekop state that the reserves of the 10th division (belonging to the 4th corps, for merly Dannenberg's, now under Osten-Sicken) which Lift here on the 19th December, have been sent by forced marches and in waggons to the Cri mea. The address communicated to them by the Archbishop is so perfectly characteristic that we re peat it. He said, among other things :—" You are marching where the enemy, through his obstinate wickedness, has been punished, by the hand of God, with the destruction of a great portion. of his ships. However, instead of bending humbly to the power of the Almighty, lie attempts to secure a footing on our true-believing country, and to maintain' himself until summer—then to be reinforced by fresh bands of scamps. We are therefore obliged to in crease our strength, and for that reason you are marching to the Crimea. . . Know that the enemy has been abandoned by his primitive intrepidity. He dares no longer to attack us, but employs all his strength to fortify himself in a small corner of our possessions, like a prisoner. But what can avail him against the anger of God ? . . . Therefore, raarch, Christ-loving, invincible warriors, with God's help, against the cunning, malevolent foe ! Take as companion the picture of the holy envoy from heaven, Michael ! Behold at his feet the conquered dragon of the wicked ! Thus may be humbled before your Bags the unworthy enemy who has arrayed himself, to the degradation of the name of Christ, under the black and Pagan flag of Mahom et." KISCHENEW, JAN. 7. We read in the Wanderer• of Vienna that by a Russian ukase alarm-posts are being established, for fear of an invasion, along the Russo-Moldavian frontiers. It is reported that the Emperor inspects incognito the troops, for which reason Prince Gortschakoff has gone to Odessa. General Luders has - put himself in movement with his corps ; but whether in order to invade the Dobrudscha, or to withdraw from Bessarabia, is uncertain. Accounts from St. Petersburg announce nume rous promotions in the Russian navy. General Schulguine, military Governor-general, died on the 2d of asthma. Cholera is still making progress at St. Petersburg. GREECE. A. letter from Athens, 3d, in the Constitutionnel says : "On the evening of the 31st ult. three French soldiers were attacked at a distance of some miles from the cantonments of the French troops at Pa tissia by a dozen peasants armed with sticks and sabres, and that without any provocation on the part of the soldiers. One of the men, who re ceived a sabre cut on the head, is now out of danger, but such is not the case with the two others who are both covered with wounds, and one of them has been obliged to undergo a m p u t a ti on o f th e wr i s t. It is not yet known what impelled these wretches to commit this crime. Whatever may have been the secondary causes which might have led to a conflict, the principal cause of this atrocious act, as of all other acts of the same kind, can onlybe the hatred excited by party spirit against everything French and En zlish, and the malevolence of the Camarilla who excite this hatred.-Admiral Barbier de Tinan has issued a severe order of the day, in which he orders the soldiers to use their arms to punish any attack either on their person or on their uniform. Baron Forth. Rouen has demanded prompt reparation and exemplary and complete satisfaction. The Greek Government, by M. Mavrocordato, has replied by expressions of regret, and promising that justice shall be done. I hasten to remark that in this sad event their Majesties, who were the first to see the three victims weltering in their blood, displayed the strongest grief and the greatest humanity. They were returning from a walk to their chateau, and their presence certainly saved the lives of the three sol di,rs, for on seeing them the assassins all ran off. Their Majesties, after causing the soldiers to be conveyed into their chateau, sent their own medical men to render them assistance. Six of the guilty party have been already arrested, and the most rigid investigation is going on." MOROCCO. A letter from Mogador of December 5, says : " The Jewish and Moorish merchants, who have just returned from their jour ne y t o orocco, are loud in their praise of the reception given thorn by the Emperor Abdeirhaman. Contrary to custom eight of the Jews received mules as presents ; to others of the Jewish and Arad traders the Em peror offered rich pieces of stuffs in return for their presents. The Laid Brisha has returned to Mo gador at the head of a numerous cortege, amid the salute of cannon, preceded by irregular troops, and followed by the majority of the inhabitants who had gone out to me o f hi m ." , The Vienna journals do not agree in the view that they take of the announcement of Prince Gortschakoff that the Emperor of Russia accepts the four points of guarantee. The Corriere Italiano says—" Instructed by the experience of the past we must confess that we see in this an act worthy of the historic subtlety of Russia." The Austrian Correspondence, which has the reputation of being Ministerial, says•—" We hail this provisional result with great satisfaction, and trust that F r an ce , Eng land, and Turkey will consider it as sufficient for negotiations for peace." -- At a recent, siting of the Germanic Diet, says the Post Ampt Gazette of Frankfort, the Prussian Envoy demanded, in the name of the committee charged to make a report on the proposition for the abolition of gaming establishments, that all the contracts entered into with the holders of the banks should be submitted to the assembly, which was agreed to. It is credibly related that Prince Gortschakoff on Saturday evening, in the name ot_his Government, solemnly promised. Colonel Manteuffel that Russia would not, under any circumstances, attack Austria in the Principalities, or within her own dominions. In its sitting of the 9th, the Piedmontese Cham ber of Deputies passed a bill for the construction of a railway from Savigliano to Saluzzo, and another for tho completion of the fortifications of Casale. The only Madrid journal of the 7th which has reached us is the Gazette, and it contains nothing important. That day being Saturday, the Stock Exchange was not open. in 2,.." American War of Independence being our ally in this war of ind.ependence ; heedless of our affiance being for the cJinmon rights of nations, a vast portion of America seems .dis posed only to indulge its spleen against the mother eonntry, and to show its syntipathy with the great community of European slaveholders. To see England beaten, and slavery rampant, are their Patriotic mad noble aspirationg. Hence the re- joking% at St. Francisco, returned an.A nlericau v esse l when the English ships and. the salutes fired from u nsuccessful fromPetropaulovski ; hence the selfish tone of m uch of the American like Prussi a , i n the hope of k ee pi n g in with Russia whil e we quarrel with her, and of thus press, rejoicing securing a splendid offering from the trade for their god—AL.mmon. Fortunately, lieve the War, not w ith s t an di ng their selfish prud we believe the War, notwithstanding their selfish l)rudcnco, has done th em commercially more harm than it has done us. If the direct blows were lighter, yet they had no t th e su b stance to stand any at all. Would that Prussia, America's European counterpart, might suffer as severely ! We must confess that the mean tone of feeling in the Groat Slave Republic, respecting this War with the Great Slave Autocrat, has done much to cool whatever Republican fire may have survived the days of our youth. Baron HESS has represented to his Government that he could not undertake to operate against the Russians, unless assured of a Prussian army of 100,000 men•" Such is the statement which has been flashed along the electric wires from Vienna ; and, although we are unwilling to think sc e badly of Austria as to yield implicit credence to th, humiliating intelligence, we cannot alto - gather dismiss it from our minds as utterly un worthy of notice. We have seen too much of Ger ' man trickery and vacillation to remain satisfied with mere words, and should certainly feel greater confidence in Austrian professions if the Rubicon were fairly passed, and some decided and irre vocable step taken. The time within which Count Buor, pledged himself to adept active measures for the purpose of carrying out the objects of the recent Treaty has expired. Even the additional period granted at the solici tation of the Russian Plenipotentiary is rapidly drawing to a close, when the eyes of Baron HESS are suddenly opened, and he discovers, to his astonishment, that "he could not undertake to operate against the Russians unless assured of the support of a Prussian army of 100,000 men !" Why, what mockery is this ! Does Austria, intend to abandon her position as a leading Power, possessing the means of per forming her deliberate and solemn promises of discharging the duties she has undertaken ? The Turks, under OMER PACEA, were enabled to foil all the efforts of their opponents, although made while they were still fresh and energetic, and before the interference of the Western Powers created a diversion to the Crimea, that drew off all the available Russian troops. Baron HESS must indeed have formed a very humiliating estimate of the forces under his com mand if he be really sincere in his statement. If (o—that is the difficulty. It is that one small word that creates the doubt. We fancy, however, that the question is raised rather by the civil than by any military servant of FRANCIS JOSEPH. It is used rather as an excuse for fur ther procrastination by the diplomatists than an expression of "cowardice "—the expression is un questionably strong, but we cannot discover any one more suitable--by the military. We believe that Austrian, aye, and Prussian troops, would gladly unsheathe the sword and fling away the scabbard—that they possess the hearts and cou rage of true soldiers ; and that it would be a foul calumny to impute any hesitation to the men who would have to bear the brunt of the encounter. But Ministers can instruct the Commander to report as they think proper ! If they were unwilling to assume the offensive—if desirous . of finding a plausible pretext for backing out of their pledges—nothing more plausible could be found than such a representation from the General commanding in the Principalities. That might be received as a valid excuse. It would imply a want of preparation, which might be used as an argumentunt ad Inisericordiam—a pathetic appeal, to induce the representatives of France and England to become less stringent in their requisitions. We trust, however, that they will not be so easily humbugged, but that they may insist on Austria liquidating her obligations co the very letter. She can do so, if she pleases, and should not be allowed to evade her just responsibilities by any such disgraceful alle gations. If there is not a sufficient force in the Principalities to withstand the Rus sian onslaught, that is the fault of th o Austrian Government. It had ample time for mature de liberation. It received a full consideration for its pledges, and, therefore, such a protest would not even, if well founded, constitute an adequate ox• cum for any failure in its engagements. ARRIVAL OF LORD CARDIGAN. LATEST NEWS. Lord Cardigan arrived at the South-Eastern Railway Station, London -bridge, at half-past 10 a.m. to-day, from Paris. Re looks:rather feeble, but is in good spirits. He left in a cab for Port man-square. Numbers of the wounded officers arrive every day. Six arrived yesterday —among them Captain Barstow, who is very lame. THE SUN, LONDON, SAT URDAY EVENING, JANUARY 18 1855, ' infra].

If it be called to mind that the returns of 1853 were higher than those of preceding years, there is reason for congratulation on the re sults obtained in 1854, notwithstanding the war, the insufficiency of the vintage, and the food crisis, which weighed on the first months of the year."

PETERSBURG, JAN. 4.—The Invalide Rase contains Prince•Menschikoff's account of a success ful sortie from Sebastopol, made on the 21st. The prince says : _ - A detachment of volunteers, led by Lieutenantsßernleff and Astapolt, of the navy, and Lieut. Bentner, of the regi ment of Moscow, attacked the left flank of the English trenches with so much impetuosity that the soldiers guard ing the work were overthrown, and a great number of them bayoneted (passe au fit de la. baionette.) On this occasion we took 3 office - a and 33 men prisoners. On ourside, Lieut. Bentner who had volunteered for the third time, and Ensigns Grigorenko and Vornonoff, with 22 men, were wounded, and we lost four men killed. At the same time, in order to divide the attention of the enemy, another sortie was led by Captain Ilinsky, of the Imperial Navy, against the Turkish trenches. The detach ment was perceived by the enemy, and returned to the fortress without having sustained any important loss. According to the Lithographic News Sheet of Berlin, Major de Stutterheim and several other officers of the old army of Schleswig-Holstein have signified to the English Government that they were disposed to enter the foreign legion forming in England. THE MURDERER BARTHEIMIY.—It is said that the execution of this criminal will take place on Monday week. The Courrier de Bourges states that the wines of the Cher, particularly those of the vintage of 1853, experi enced. a sensible decline in price at the last market.' Ihe fall is stated to be about one-fifth on the previous prices. SHEERNESS, Jan. 12.—The new boiler-house is now completely roofed in, and is quite ready for the erection of the furnaces, shafts, and flues. It presents an ex tremely light sand elegant, and at the same time a very substantial, appearance. The whole building is divided longitudinally into three compartments. The centre area between the upright standards which carry the roof is 45 feet wide, and is being covered with an excellent wood pavement of oak blocks. No further settlement of the side walls has taken place, and not the slightest crack is perceptible in any portion of the brickwork, which ap. pears to be executed in an extremely sound manner. These walls, which contain nearly 70 rods of work, were carried up in the short space-of 14 days, and were built on a solid bed of concrete. The above rapidity fully ac counts for the small settlement ; but the contractor's su perintendent justly remarked at the time that it would find its bearing in a few days, and then remain firm as a roc k, and such really appears to be the case. One of the greafeet improvements latelyintrodcoumcemdeinnctiongthaits yard is the granite tram-road, which, the -great In:sin, finishes at the entrance doors at the south end :of the new boiler-house. The pitching be tween the tranivyays is three feet wide, and each tram stone is two feet wide and one deep, and buried in 18 inches of solid concrete. These works have been per formed by Messrs. J. end C. Rigby, contractors for the Ifolyhead Harbour works, under the immediate superin tendence of their . engineer, Mr. W. Caldwell. The via tualling department, under the superintendence of Thomas Jiockings, Esq., is still undergoing many alte rations, which, when completed, will add very materially to the comforts of those ships' companies billeted upon it; at present, however, only a _portion of the Royal George's and Cressy's not on leave, or that have re turned, are there. A plan is being laid down, by erecting cranes or sheers in parts of the docks for lifting the boilers in and out. A quantity of masts are leaving for Chatham. A sale will take place at this yard on Thurs. day, the 25th inst., of fathom wood, which, as usual, no I • doubt will be fairly attended.
