The letter is dated " Off Anapa, July 29 :" " From BAlaklava we bad a splendid passage to Con stantinople, from which place we were sent out here. I shall, therefore, endeavour to give you some idea of the place. Anapa is situated on a long tongue of land, which runs into the sea about hal a mile, and is at the foot of the range of the Caucasian mountains. It for merly belonged to the Circassiane, who exported large quantities of grain, &c., but after it was taken by the Russians it was closed to the commercial world. The town is large and well laid out,and is defended on the sea side by a high stout stone wall, with towers, and on the land side by a very wide ditch and fosse wall, which is topped all round by earthworks. The Russians tried to destroy these on their departure, but did not suc ceed. They were more fortunate in destroying the can non, do.. although a good many fine pieces still remaic entire. In destroying the houses they succeeded most effectually, for there is not a house in the whole town but has been sacked and burnt. Tbey left a great quan tity of shot and shell, and other material of war. The place is now occupied by 50 Frenchmen, 100 Turks, and a large body of Circassians, who are coming down from the mountain with their women, children, and flocks. The Circassians are a fine body of men, very tall, and well made; they wear high hats, made of sheep skin and coarse woollen, which give them a very fierce appear ance. They always carry arms about them, and it is quite common to see one with the following set out :' Two pistols about two feet long, a gun slung across the hack, a king sword, and an ornamental knife about 18 inches long, together with cartridges, which they always carry in small ivory or wooden tubes across the breast, about twenty in number. Only picture what a conster nation one of these fellows, six feet high (without shoes) would cause in walking down Briggate. Some of them never saw a steamer before, and made me understand they would like to come on board. I took about a dozen, and showed them over the vessel. They were very intelligent, and wished to know the use of almost everything ; but the things that astonished them most were the engines, our waterproof coats, &c., and a revolver, 6 barrels. In return they took us in the country a few miles, lent us their horses, which are fine Arabians, and never were shod. They also lent us their pistols to fire at a mark with, and showed us many of their tricks, such as picking up a stick when the horses were at full gallop, firing at marks, &a. They perform duty as videttes, similar to the Cossacks, and are first-rate riders. "The French are busy haymaking; that is to say, they are employing the Circassians in fetching and mowing the hay in the valleys, which they are stacking in the principal square in the town, and intend to remove it to the Crimea in a short time. It is rather singu lar our commanders have never thought of such a plan in getting supplies, but depend solely and en tirely upon home supplies. The Turks are, as usual, dirty and idle, and are doing duty in guarding the entrench. ments on the land side. They are commanded by a pacha of one tail, whom I went to pay my respects to yesterday. He is an old, jolly-looking fellow, and was very polite ; but as I cannot talk Turkish, and he very little French, and cno English, we were obliged to part without any conversation or anything else, except eye ing one another down very well and shaking hands. The only thing I fell in love with about his establish ment was a beautiful pipe -stick, eight or nine feet long, which was handsomely mounted with gold, stones, and silver, and his long white beard and moustache." TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sin, —Any person who reads the Russian account of the bombardment of Sweaborg will see with half an eye that had Admiral Dundas been furnished with a suffi cient number of mortar-vessels Sveaborg must have been destroyed. The Times talks of sparemortars—Nonsense ! Who would think of changing mortars in action ? It was not the mortars that were wanted ; it was a sufficient number of mortar-vessels, to enable Admiral Dundas to keep up a steady fire as long as was necessary, without destroying his mortars, mortar beds, and shaking his vessels to pieces. The Times has begun to attack Admiral Dundas as they did me. Let them put the saddle en the right horse. I understand all the mortars except six were hors de combat, that was the reason the bom bardment was not continued ; and I dare say, if the truth was known the shells became short also. If the Admiralty had real my letters they would have seen that I never foresaw that Sweaborg was to be destroyed in a couple of days. I stated it might take all the summer, and su mmer , in the Baltic begins in the middle of June and elms in the middle of August. Why did not the Admiralty take care that the mortar vessels were in the Baltic by that time, and enough of them ? It appears by Admiral Dundas's despatch be had no men either killed or wounded. It is then clear had he bad 100 or 150 mortars, be could have kept up a con stant fi re till the wor ks,i island and all, were nearly destroyed, and the ships would have completed the work. And why was he not furnished with mortars for all the islands ? Will the nation believe that after the millions of money spent in the Navyllince the year 1815 that we did not possess one mortar vessel at the beginning of the war ? The Scourge steamer was fitted with a swinging 13-inch mortar by Lieutenant Roberts, which answered perfectly well ; but it was re moved. Wily, I don't know. Who is responsible ? Nobody. The First Lords and the Boards have been so often changed that it is impossible to get at the delin quents ; and as long as the navy is ruled by a civilian, who knows nothing about it, and who has the power of turning out the naval colleagues, ii they do not do what he bids them, things will never mend. It is clear that a great opportunity of destroying Sweaborg has been lost by the imbecility of the Ad miralty ; the work will have to be begun again next year under disadvantages, and the sooner a couple of hundred mortar-vessels are built the better. The Russians are more active than we are, and will cover the Biltic next year with gun-boats. They already haye, thirty steam gnu-boats at Cronstadt, besides a great number of other gun-boats. If we do not begin at once, we shall be driven out of the Baltic with disgrace. There are many other things necessary for success. If steam has given us a great ad vantage for attack, we must not forget that large shell guns and red-hot shot have given great alrantagns for defence. Last year I recommended that every ship should be fitted with hose to lead water fore and aft and down below, worked by the engine, to extinguish fire ; it has not been done. Have the Admiralty ever inquired from the officers at the attack of Sebastopol the effects of shells below ? If they have inquired, why bays they not provided against it? If the large engines cannot be adapted for the purpose, fit small ones. If they go on as usual, it will require hal a-dozen years for consideration. I tell the country, the Board of Admiralty, constituted as it is, is not fit to carry on the war. The Minister for the War Department has been changed. Let the Admiralty be changed also. I have shown before, and now, that they are not fit for their work. Sir George Cockburn, who had been at the Admiralty, I believe, sixteen years, left a legacy to the country showing how the Admiralty was conducted, and how it ought to be conducted. Lord Palmerston is a decided man—he does not like Boards. I believe it does not even require an act of Pdrliatnent to reform it—Reform ! did I say ? It is not reformable. Abolish it altogether, and put an active intelligent officer at the head of the Surveyor Depart ment, with the title of Vice-Admiral of Great Britain ; put another at the head of the Victualling Department, with the title of Rear-Admiral of Great Britain (abolish the sinecures of that name, and give those who hold them compensation), and let each be responsible for his own department, and make the Account int-General respon sible for his ; put over the whole an Admiral as Com o:ander-in-Chief, with a Captain of the fleet to assist him, and 114 many secretaries and clerks as are neces sary ; and if you must have a civilian to control the ex pens.q., make him Minister of Marine, but let him have nothing to do with the promotions or the management of the navy, and change him with the Ministry, if neces sary. Let this be done,'and the navy will be well-con ducted and millions saved. Take care the right men are in the right places, and if they do not do their duty turn them out and get others.

CORN EXutiANGE. Since Monday we have hail a slight , increase in the ar rivals of English wheat coastwise—the supply being 1,390 quarters, but the quantity received put up to-day was li mited. The show of samples was, therefore, trifling. For all kinds the demand was steady, and, in some instances, fine old wheats produced a tride more money than on Monday. The supply of foreign wheat was but moderate. H o lders held most kinds above the views of buyers, consequently only a limited business was done. We were well supplied with foreign barley, but the show of English was limited. The trade was steady at fall quotations. Malt moved off steadily at full prices . Although the imports of oats have been large, tho oat trade was steady at Monday's currency. Beans, peas, and flour supported former terms.

THE FIRST OF SEPTEMBER. — Partridge shooting in the Midland Countie4 commenced on Saturday, The birds were seldom more abundant, but they are shy and strong on the wing. A good deal of the land not being yet cleared, the area of the sportsman is at present somewhat limited ; but, with a continuance of the fine weather, the crops will soon be garnered, and freer scope will be afforded ORDER OF ANCIENT BRITONS. Yesterday the Grand Order of Ancient Britons went in procession, accompanied by rich banners and a mili tary band of music, to the Eagle Tavern, Mile-end-road, where they celebrated their eleventh anniversary. A numerous boiiy of the members and friends partook of an excellent dinner, served up in Mr. Hayward's usual good etyle, and which gave every satisfaction. After having done ample justice to the good things liberally Provided for the occasion, the cloth was withdrawn and grace said; after which the chairman, Mr.W. Poleman, of Poplar (the founder and secretary of the order), gave "The Health of the Queen, Prince Albert, and the Royal Faintly," which was received with much cheer ing, as was also "The Health of the Emperor and Em press of the French, and Success to the Allied Armies." The chairman, in proposing the toast of the day, viz., "Tbe Grand Order of Ancient Britons, and may i: flourish," took the opportunity of stating a few particu lars relative to its origin, progress, and present state, in which he asserted it bad not only promoted the cultiva tion of social feeling, but had done an immense deal of actual good, at Poplar, Stratford, and the east end of the town, where its operations were principally carried out, as some thousand pounds bad been distributed in sickness and death, and he won happy to say a consider able funded stock still remained. The toast was re ceived with enthusiastic cheer and was responded to by Mr.Wheley, of the Coach and Horses Tr►vern, Stratford, Essex, in a speech of some length, replete with good f- elirg, and which was listened to with much attention. The health of the chairman was then proposed by Mr. Brown, the vice-chairman, and was acknowledged by Mr. Poleman in a short but appropriate speech. o,her toasts, including the healths of Mr. Hayward, the prc prietor of the Eayle Tavern, Mr. Whaley, and the hosts of the order, the Stewards, The Sun newspaper and the public press, and the Ladies were severally given and , uitahly responded to. The greatest conviviality pre vailed throughout the day, a concert and ball effieiently carried out took place in the evening. and a brilliant display of fireworks terminated the day's festivities. The stewards paid every attention to the comfort of the company assembled on the occa-ion. DEPARTURE OF HER MAJPSTY FOR BALMORAL CASTLE. At half-past seven o'clock yest , rday morning her Ma jesty and his Royal Highness Prince Albert, accom t,anied by the Prince of Wales, Prince Alfred, Princess Royal, Princesses Alice; Helena, and Louisa, attended by Lady Churchill, Hon.

Accommodation was provided by the directors of the railway for all who desired to witness her Majesty's de parture. The spacious station was well filled, and the New-road, along which the royal cortege passed, was crowded with persons anxious to catch a glimpse of their Sovereign. At a few minutes before 8 o'olock her Mnjeaty arrived at the station. and was lon ily cheered. She was con dneted by Mr. Beckett Denisrn, M.P., the Chairman cf the B gird of Directors, to the carriage, which was snrmonntNi by a crown, and the other members of the royal party were 'shown into other carriages specially provi'ed for them. The royal train consisted of eight carriages ; the royal siloon, in which were her Majesty, Prince Albert, the Princess Royal, and the Princess Alice, being in the centre. HER MAJESTY'S ARRIVAL AT YORK. The royal train arrived at York punctually at 12.42 p.m., and her Majesty, his Royal Highness Prince Albert, and the royal childien, on alighting from their carriages, were hailed with loud and hearty cheers from the large concourse of persons assembled within the sta tion. The arrival platform wag laid with tapestry carpeting, extending from the north-west end of the platform up to the principal entrance to the Royal Station Hotel. A troop of the 7th Hussars, and a detachment of the 2d West York Light Infantry, formed her Majesty's Gnard of Honour. Her Majesty was received by General Sir Harry Smith, General A rbntbnot, the Lord Mayor of York (who wore his chainlof office). and H. S. Thompson, Esq., the Chairman of the North-Eastern Company. After a most enthusiastic reception, her Majesty took the arm of her royal consort, and was escorted by the Lord Mayor to the Royal Station Hotel.

The illus trious parents were folloWed by their royal children. They proceeded direct to the apartments specially set apart for their occupation, where they partook of lun cheon. Th• luncheon occupied the royal party half an hour, and precisely at a quarter-pant one o'clock her Majesty and suite again appeared on the platform, and were re ceived with a renewal of the plaudits with which they were greeted on their arrival. The military again pre sented arms, and while the band played the national an them, and the people assembled cheered lustily, the royal party took their seats, the train moved on, - and, in a few moments, was out of sight, on its way further north.

Her Majesty, Prince Albert, and the Royal children arrived here safely at 38 minutes past 6 this evening— seven minutes before the appointed time—and proceeded in carriages to Holyrood Palace.

At the Westminster police-court, yesterday, Mr. Ed ward Frederick Wilke, propriflor of the Anchor Bre x. , .ry, Britt -n. stris-it, Chelsea, Thomas bilks, his son, and John, Waller, his clerk, underwent a lengthened ex amination, charged with conspiracy, fraud, and forgery. Mr. Parry conducted the prosecution, and Mr. Clark son and Mr. Reeves the defence. The following is the evidence of the principal wit ness : Edwin Taylor-----I am a beer-shop keeper, and I live at 54, George-street, St. George's-in-the-East. I oarriedon business at 222, High-street, Sad well—the Rise and Shamrock—as a beer-shop keeper, three years and six months. I knew Messrs. Wilks and Cowell, the Castle Brewery, St. George's, Southward, brewers. Ideal with them about 11 months, afterwarls with Long and Walker. After I returned to deal with Mr. Wilks, it began in Nov., 1854. Mr. Wilke was a brewernt that time--the Anchor Brewery, Chelsea. The book now produced, marked A, is the one of my dealing with Wilks and Co. The signa tures to the receipts are Mr. Wilks's. I have seen hirn • sign them. The book contains an account of all the beer supplied to me by Wilks and Co. from N ov ., 18;4 , to March, 1855. The ton notes produced now, marked 11, are all the delivery notes of the beer I bad. With re ference to the Rose and Shamrock, the business was very slack from Nov., 1854, to May, 1855. I know the three defendants. About January Mr. Wilk. spoke about parting with the business to Cowell and Brock. He said several times trade had fallen off very much since be took the lease of it. I said it had. He said, did I think Mr. Cowell would take up the lease. I said I thought he would. Mr.Wilks called once a fortnight, sometimes twice, and said if I could get Mr. Cowell to take up the lease he would put me in a good house. He said so on some occasion between January and March. Mr.Wilks never spoke to me about the book. He said, "You can represent to Mr. Cowell that you are paying 301. or 401. a month, and he will take up the lease." He said so about February. At that time I was paying about 121. a month, and for about 10 weeks I paid nothing to 111 r. Wilks. I began to deal with Mr. Cowell about March. Mr.Wilks told me to deal with hiro,!to get him to take the lease, and to represent I was paying. 301 or 401. a month. Mr.Wilks spoke two or three times about the false repre sentation which I hal made as to what I had been doing before Wilks took up the lease. Afterwards I received the book produced marked "C" from Mr. Thos. Wilks. It was some time in May. Oae day Thos. Wilks and Waller called and wished me to call at the brewery, and the book was given to me at a public house adjoining. Waller and Tbos. Wilks were both present. I had had two or three glasses of brandy and water, when Thomas Wilks handed me the book and said, " Here ' Taylor, show the red-whiskered this, it will make him take up the lease sooner." Then he handed the book to me. I had never heard it men- honed before. I put it in my pocket. I had seen Cowell several times about taking this off Mr. Wilks's hands. The book is a false one of my dealings with him. In about five days after I saw Mr. Cowell. I showed him the book ;no one else was present. It is the hook marked " C." It was in consequence of what Mr. Thomas said that I showed it to him. He opened it, and said, "Oh, this is Messrs. Wilks's book." I said, "Yes, that is their book." He didn't peruse it ; he looked at it for about half a minute, and then shut it up—we were in the bar-i.arlour of my house. Mr. Cowell never saw the book again. In consequence of what trr. Cowell said, I went up, on the 30th of May, with Mr. John Dean, to Wilks's brewery. I went into the parlour, and there saw Mr. Thomas Wilks and Jahn Waller. Thomas said, before Deer, " Have you seen that red-whiskered -- since—what does he intend doing ?" I said, 'i He intends taking up the lease." He said, '"He's a long time," and we had 1 something to drink. Waller said, "Give him a strong order for 301. or 401." I said, "How am Ito pay Mr. Cowell, for I owe him a good bit now ?" lie sr.itl, "Go through the Court, and we will pill you through." Thomas Wilks said, "That's right, Taylor, go throu.th, and we will put you in the way of getting another 501. out of him." I said, "What ant I to get for doing• your dirty work. I shall expect my .00k debt, 33/. lls. 6.1., for the Rose and Shamrock." Waller said, "That will be all right, we will forgive you that ;" and Thos. Wilks said several times—" We will put you into a good house." On the 6th June, I went to Wi:ks's brewery, arid saw Mr. Wilks and Waller. I 1 43. id, " I have closed up the house this morning ; what do yai intend doing with me ? I shan't give up posses sion unless I get something. I shall expect what Mr. Walier promised rue—the hook debt." Wilks said, " We will see about it ; that will be all right," and he went away. He had asked me if Mr. Cowell was going to ake the lease. I said " Yes ;" then I went with Waller 'nto the countinghouse a short time, and said I wouldn't sign any mortgage deed unless I got the book debt, ac cording to promise. 'Waller said I should have it. I did not stop long. Wilks came back ; and I told Waller, in iris he Lring, I should go and open the house, that Mr C well might not know of it. Dean was with Wks when I was talking to Willer. About a week or more lief ire Jene 14, I received a paper from Waller, which I aite ,. wards lost. It was not stamped ; it was to say I should be forgiven the book debt if Mr. Cowell took up the lease ; and on June 14 I received from Waller t!ie receipt produced now. Afterwards I went to Wilks's Brewery with Messrs. Kennet and Calton. Mr. Cas on is a clerk of Mr. Cowell's. Wilks and Waller v.-re in the office. Kennet and Casten went in first. When I went in Keni.et said to me, " I understood you owed oily the 15( wort age." I said, "That's all Ido •, )we." He S tid, " Mr. IV,llcs says there's a book debt trzain-t you, is that right ?" I said, "No, that's settled." Woks said, " No, it's not." I said, " Nonsense, it is." .V.a.ler called Wilkes aside, They returned in three or tour minutes, and Walter said, "All right ; it's my mis take." Wilke was present, and be took the cheque for 1501. from Gist.m. I sail, " I would rather have the r-c , -ipt for the book debt." Then the receipt produced, marked " wa.. written by Waller, and given to me -ither by him or Mr. Wilk., I don't know which. I dealt with Mr. Cowell after that. I shut up the house co ao into the country. Business was much the mamas it had been for eight months before. Mr. Parry sought to confirm the testimony of this witness by other persons. After -everal wttnesses had been examined, Mr. Clarkson submitted that there was no evidence to ,ut Mr. Wilks, gen., on hig trial t,,r ths offence. The evidence, so far from confirming Taylor's account, con tradicte i it, and there was nothing to show that MT. \Vilks, seta., was connected with the book upon which the prosecution was founded. Mr. Arnold hardly thought ho should be justifiel in stopping the ca , e against Wilke, sen , but he should like to take !bite to look over the case. Mr Parry, who had before submitted that ndinissa bility of evidence was a que2t , on for a j!idge, said that the credibility of a witness (in allu=ion t•i Ta4l, r) was a question for a jury. EL. felt that Mr. Arnold, a .: a ina.;istrate, would not take upon himself to decide upon the ere libitity of a witness Mr Arnold repeated that he would look over the notes of ..he cas,, aud determine upon the inakttr on a future day. Thursday was subsequently 'rimed, and the defeni ants, as before, entered into their own recoguis tacos of 3001. each, to appear on that day. THE OLD GAME OF IZUSSIA. VIENNA, SEPT. `2.—The following summary of to-day's leader in the Wanderer• is worthy of at tention. The writer of this article has the repu tation of being a "dreamy politician," but no man can question his being a first-rate historian, and certain it is that his opinions and general views on the present war, from the time of Menszhilioff's offensive appearance at Constantinople, in the spring of 1853, to the present time, have almost invariably proved correct. It is but justice to the writer in question to say this much by way of in troduction : " Beneath the oft apparently tranquil surface, a pro found agitation pervades the general affairs and aspects of nations. Whether we look upon the old or the new world, upon Central Asia, upon the African coasts, or upon the American slave-holding states, everywhere in visible powers are at work to undermine the existing state of things, and everywhere there are powers exist ing who are ready to grasp the inheritance of expiring states, even at the imminent risk of severe conflicts. It appears almost certain that, if some unforeseen accident in the midst of this process of general fermentation should not happen to bring forth vast and serious ob structions, a new formation of things must necessarily arise, in course of time, from out this mighty dashing of the political waves of our days. " All reports agree that Russia is playing her old game, notwithstanding mu c h a pp aren t tranquillity and inaction. Whilst England t ra v erse s the world with offers of subsidies, Russia mak e s th e s ame tour with newahereand ter ritorial map in her hand, making promises menacing there, complicating and arab:olg existing relations until the political atmosphere is heavy g to enable her to repeat the iron grasp which has but once miscarried. men, feel the fearful danger, the gigtaances as these, Oe "The English nation, even more theatnieEeanrgeleisehteseteastees-f. the situation.

The War in the East. By General George Klapka. Chapman and Han. An historico-critical sketch, as the author de scribes it, of the campaigns on the Danube, in Asia, a and in the Crimea, to w hi c h i s a d ded a glance -- the probable conti nge n c i es o f th e next campai " The work is written i n a f a i r an d comprehensiv e spirit, and may be consult e d w ith a d vantage by all parties, whatever be their opinions respecting the emduct of the war. Many of the author's opinions will meet with general concurrence, and all chal. lenf,, , e respect. With regard to the policy of the Allies, he remarks " that as soon as they chap°e their present watchword, 'the integrity of Turkey,' for ' the liberation of the oppre sse d na ti ona li t i es, ' they will have one million of combatants at their disposal. The national fc,rces of Poland, Hungary, and Italy, supported by England and France, Sweden, and Turkey, will then stand forth to de stroy for ever Russian predominance on the Conti nent. We therefore say, either a real and decisive war (a war of nationalities) or no war at all." For of what use, he demands, can be all that has been done, if the result to be hoped for is (as if the pre sent policy be pursued, he is assured it must be) an unsafe peace ? The necessary preliminaries to the satisfactory solution of the pending question are briefly enumerated, the volume concludin g with a cordial tribute of admiration to the truly antique heroism and self-sacrifice of the allied troops. Adrien. By Annette Marie Maillard. Routledge and Co. A romantic tale, which will doubtless find both readers and admirers, to the latter of which classes we certainly do not belong. Intended, honestly enough, we dare say, as " Adrien" is, to illustrate the evils resulting from the vicious exercise of parental influence, and set forth the radiating and redeeming power of goodness, even when associated with deformity of person, the reader is surrounded with an atmosphere of intrigue, lying, and deceit —the unhealthy tendency of which is far from being counteracted by the moral aims of the writer, or by skilful treatment on her part. Most of the incidents are highly improbable, and throughout we are unpleasantly reminded of Eugene Sue. A Catechism on Equitation. Longman and CO. Here we have in a wonderfully small apace a synopsis of the whole art of equitation clearly and forcibly put by one who thoroughly understands the subject. Precise instructions are given, in the form of questions and answers, on all points con nected with the management of a horse, and each branch of the subject is amply illustrated by cuts. A little book of this kind was much wanted, and a better one than that before us could not have been written. It deserves, and will obtain, a wide success. This little work has been written by an officer of 22 years' service in the 4th Light Dra goons, one who has ridden all his life to hounds and hunted in all parts of the world, a perfect master of his horse ; and is of a very old Kentish family. Law and Practice of Bills of Sale. By Joseph Beaumont, Esq.- . John Crockford. A valuable treatise on the above subjects, origi nally published in the Law Times, and now revised and issued in a separate form, with additions by the author (including a chapter on Bilis of Sale of Sliir4), under the auspices of the editor of the above journal, to whom it is indebted for careful revision. THE BO VEARDMPATT OF SWEABORG. We have received the Moniteur of yesterday. It publishes the following : " The additional details collected at Helsinglors con firm the statements already made respecting the losses of the enemy, which have been very considerable ; and, moreover, they make known to us the damage caused by our projectiles. - - " Thus it was not, as supposed, only to withdraw the Russian tbree•decker anchored between Gustayswaard and B ikholmen that the enemy took away that vessel from the passage in which it had been placed. Hit, and perforated by the shells, that vessel was sinking, and the Russians were obliged to tow her into shallow water; she is still there, lying over on one side, and full of water, which explains the inclined position in which she was seen from the sea Considerable storehouses of corn and flour destined for the troops were consumed by the flames. " Great fears were entertained that the allied squa drons would attack and burn the town. Persons who have visited Scveaborg since the bombaHment have stnte,l that the principal buildings destroyed in the ci tadel are— " Two powder magazines. " Two Phell magazines. " One magaz;ne fu.l of flax and ropes. "Two storehouses, containing corn and flour for *a troops. • " • 1 pitch manufactnry. " 1 large house, containing hospital stores for the army. " .. 17 private houseß. " The house of the Governor• General and his Chan• eery._ IS vessels hit in the basins. " The granite quays are damaged by the shells. " Finally, the shells w , ich fell on board the man-of war wounded 9G men, who were conveyed to the town hospital, but the number of killed is not known. " The number of killed acknowledged is 2,000, but it is supposed at Helsingfors that the number is much greater. At the present moment the hospital at Hel singfors is full of wounded front the citadel, and, not being large enough to contain all who have been brought there, it has been found necessary to lodge them with the inhabitants."
