GREAT REDUCTION IN THE PRICE OF "THE SUN," FROM FIVEPENCE-HALFPENNY FOURPENC E. FOR THE THIRD OR LATEST EDITION. In consequence of the abolition of the Stamp Duty on Newspapers the public in all Large cities and towns to which parcels are forwarded by the News-Agents, The San, which formerly cost Fivepence-half penny for the Latest Edition, containing Parliamentary Debates of the same even ing, together with the List of Army and Navy Promotions in the London Gazette, with Official Despatches from the Seat of War, the Latest Sporting, and all other Commercial News, List of Bankrupts, &c., &c., can now be bad for Fourpence, being a saving of nearly one-third. Hitherto the price of the paper was nomi nally Fivepence, but all Late Editions posted after six o'clock were charged a fee of One Halfpenny by the Post-office, which made the price to the Subscribe' Fivepence-Halfpenny. This charge must still be made to those in remote places, unless the Postmaster-General have the magnanimity to forego such a paltry source of revenue. Sun-office, 112, Strand, London, 9th July, 1855. (1 1 ,, ak1;11, LONDON, THURSDAY, AUGUST 2, 1855. Of the guilty complicity of Austria with Russia probably no one now entertains a shadow of doubt. The thanks of Count NESSELRODE to Count BuoL must have dispelled all the dreams of Lord CLARENDON, and almost have made Lord JOHN regret his easy diplomatic virtue. Hi s superlatively silly pretext for not telling the Hcuse of Commons of the intention of Austria not to fight—as if Russia did not know that long before Lord JOHN did, or as if every man not blinded by office did not know it without telling—we should think he can now hardly remember without a blush. Even the Times actually sees at last what we proved and prophesied from the beginning of the war ; and, indeed, before it broke out. Surely Lord PALMERSTON, and Prince ALBERT himself, are b y this time satisfied of our whereabouts with Austria. Worthy Lord CLARENDON, whose de spatches are so much bepraised, who must be kept in the Government come what would, because he alone had the clue "to the admirably conducted negotiations with Austria "—he, too, must see, if not blinded with German dust, that ho has been completely befooled. Two years of much lauded protocolling what have they ended in ?—in leaving Austria and Russia billing and cooing before the European P ub lic, and Austria's armies occupying a nd oppressing the provinces, where OMER PACHA and his Turks, with a few legions of Poles, ought to have been holdin g the Russians in cheek, or threatening them in Bessarabia. Russia declares herself well-pleased to have Austria in the Principalities ! declares sh e would have accepted the terms which Austria and Lord JOHN would have forced on this country:—(What then have we escaped !)—and assures Austria that a Russian army never could have marched against her, but may again have to march to her aid Lord CLARENDON'S glorious diplomacy has issued in rendering almost futile two costly cam paigns, and in converting Austria from the secret into the open ally of Russia. Let, then, Lord PALMERSTON and the Foreign Secretary confess their position. Let them openly allow, or at least acknowledge by their actions, that they have been imposed upon, either by German influence at home, or by the duplicity of the Government at Vi:un Le . , them mike _„ c . .au brcv,t o f it, and we shall acccept it as the omen of au altered policy. Every one of our political prophesies in regard to the conduct of the war have been veri fied ; they were scorned by the magnates of the press and the Legislature at first, were visions, dreams, revolution, and all that ; they are not scorned, but adopted now. Few will now have the hardihood to defend our first supplications to Prussia, our admission of Austria into the Prin cipalities, and our effeminate yielding to her self evident wiles. Never were DELILAri and SAMP SON better enacted in the political world. Twice already, while England was reposing in the lap of Austria, has she bid the Russians be upon us; once at Inkerman, and once at Vienna. Well for us if we do not betray to her the secret of our strength, and find ourselves made to grind at last in sub servience to Russian ambition. We will once more remind our readers of the true cause of all our disappointments. It is, as we have ever contended, not so much an Admi nistrative as a political one. Efficient Adminis tration would have been quickly secured, had the political aims been honest and earnest. The truth is, Our Court and our Cabinets have played the country false. The people went to war to humble Russia, and to rescue the oppressed nations from her cruel and enslaving gripe. They were out of all patience with her everlasting perfidy and her ever active ambition ; and they wanted to see Circas sia, the Black Sea coasts, the Danubian terri tories, and above all Poland, restored to liberty again. They hated the Russian despot, and any other despot, but our Cabinet felt very tenderly for Czars and absolute Emperors, and loathed the idea of restored nationalities. A mean, a paltry, a concealed, an unrighteous, political end has guided all our Governments. To uphold on their thrones the perjured beings whose existence challenges the vengeance of HEAVEN itself, and to prevent the nations groaning beneath their merce nary soldiers from breathing the air of freedom —this was their real aim. They found it neces sary not to let the Tartar despot swallow up the Teutonic - despots, and reduce England and France to insignificance ; but they wanted still to pre serve what they called the honour and dignity of the CZAR, and of his subordinates ! to let down the Lord of the Calmucs and Cossacks very gently; and to keep unhappy Poland well crushed under him, and Hungary and Lombardy becomingly trodden beneath the feet of the boy of Hapsburg. We do not, therefore, and we cannot, trust our Court and Cabinet. They wickedly refuse to in scribe the righteous cause on their banners, and therefore debar themselves from the energetic ac tion and the efficient means which would have settled the business before now, and which even now would settle it ten years sooner than it would otherwise be settled. Consideration for guilty crowned heads, which had better have rolled in the dust ten times over than the bodies of our noble and innocent soldiers, will protract the war for ever. Consideration of the rights of Poland, Hungary, and Lombardy would compel the despots to yield a peace on any terms, or the result would be a war which would send them to political perdition, if to no other ; and who among us would not rejoice to see it ? Europe, since 1815, has been arranged on a system of such villanous disregard of human rights that nothing but a political thunderstorm can clear the political atmosphere. Nations were treated like so much property, and exchanged and bartered amongst a set of creatures who talked of rights in the said property as if nations were made for the aggran dizement and pleasure of a few families of mortals, and mortals who, to say the very best of them, were no better than their fellows. They have continued to disgust all the unfortunate nations they thus appro priated, to drive them ever and anon to an assertion of their liberties (called by Lords J. IlussELL and PALMERSTON rebellion), and b this hour, after forty years' opportunity, the rulers of Austria, Russia, and Prussia are cordially and bitterly hated by a very large portion of their subjects. This hatred is our strength. To use it would he a simple act of justice to the oppressed. It would be worth more than hundreds of millions of money, and would save thousands of French and English lives. We shall soon now see ~ vhether Government is cajoling us or not. Sir WILLIAM MOLESWORTH'S talk of striking a body blow at Russia, and the summons hither of Count LAMOYSKI, ought to mean some thing. A short time will prove whether all this is done to hoax this country or to un-Gerinanise our policy, and to strike a blow at Russia which ought to have been one of the first, but which even now would give our Government such strength at home as none has had for many a long year, and such strength abroad as would make all the despots from the Rhine to the Volga tremble for their very existence. Of one thing we are confident—the enthusiasm infused into the war by declaring for a great and righteous prin ciple, the cordiality it would create between our Government and the people, the inspiration it would impart to the generals and our Ministers, would make them all new men. There seems, hitherto, to have been a wonderful lack of genius, but if there be one thing which can supply its Place, one thing which has a hundred times over in the world's history created it, that thing is a high, a holy, and a righteous cause. Battle for the liberty of the crushed would regenerate all. The " Modern Babylon" exhibits many phases of roguery. Those who do not mince matters, and call things bynaiing their right names, speak of "theft" or swindling" — _others o mere follow re the euphreis tically term it " appro precedent of the immortal " Convey, the Wicsaetici t ie c n al t; , who said— They all, however, are applicable to the same proceedings—to the various modes by w hi c h in genious, but not very moral, persons purses at the expense of their fill their innocent neigh bours, who chance to have more money than wit, and offer themselves as willing victims to the spoilers. Ring-dropping and other time-honoured forms of " appropriation" prevail, notwithstand ing the unsparing denunciations of the pub lic journalists. We still hear of " yokels" who yield implicit credence to the benevolent-looking man who is desirous of applying his loose cash to tli9 best purposes, and wishes to ob tain the valuable services of his "verdant" friend as an agent in the distribution. Some " security" is, however, necessary, and the kind hearted man so far resembles the late AUTOCRAT as to prefer a "material guarantee"—a, bond fide deposit of hard cash—as the test of respectability ! We shall not speak of " skittle sharps," or of other talented " conveyancers." Even the higher flight s of "banking" genius shall remain unnoticed. We aim a t the very highest of all—at a Govern ment (Gon save first-class the mark !) represented by a firm, --one that would have nothing to do with anything less than six places of figures, in which " hundreds of thousands," if not mil lions, of pounds were involved. Buenos Ayres cannot be brought up before a " worthy Magis- THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, AUGUST 2, 1855, trate " and required to find substantial bail that she will be forthcoming to meet . the charge to be preferrqd against her at the suit of the victimised bondholders ; nor can we get the excellent agents who obtained cash for the all-but-repudiated bonds into the witness-box. We can only sum mon the defaulting State of Buenos Ayres to the bar of public opinion, and subpcena the leviathan firm, that ranks amongst the highest class of " merchant princes," to give evidence in the case. That Buenos Ayres received all the money cannot now be questioned. Her agents, ROBERT sox and CASTRO, received a highly respectable introduction to the money market. Before Messrs. BARING consented to act, they must for their own security have strictly scrutinised the credentials of these gentlemen, and ascertained that they were warranted in giving the sanction of their names to the transaction ! They deliberately and ad visedly became the endorsers of the bill which the Government of Buenos Ayres had drawn on British credulity, and were bound not to remain altogether indifferent to its liquidation. They had ample notice of its dishonour, and should have taken energetic steps to bring the defaulters to reason. If they could not make them honest, there should, at least, have been the semblance or appearance of honesty. It was the prestige attached to the name of BAILING and Co. that induced the English capi talists to subscribe for the loan at so high a figure —to give 861. for each 1001. bond. Had the referees been at all ques tionable—could the slightest doubt have been hazarded as to the position of BARING and Co., Buenos Ayres could not have humbugged her creditors for 31 years, or persuaded them to re main contented with the specious pretexts that she chose to put forward, under the head of the war with Brazil, or the blockade ordered by Lord ABERDEEN. We have stated our deliberate opinion that the Foreign Secretary is bound to interfere ; but there are others on whom the obligation is even more imperative. It was the name a Messrs. BARING and Co. that brought many of the bondholders into the scrape. It is Messrs. BARING and Co. that should take measures to extricate them. Although thirty-one years have elapsed, the-trans action has not yet been washed in the waters of oblivion, nor has the repudiating state or its " highly respectable" agents been quite exonerated from all liability. Nor will the payment of a paltry instalment of little more than 1 per cent. every 15 or 16 months be regarded as a reason able effort to discharge the claim on Bueno; Ayres " honour and honesty"—if such elements be admissible into the calculation. Ne sutor 'ultra crepidain. The wisdom of this saying was strikingly exemplified the other day at Leamington. •On the presentation of an ad dress of congratulation from some of the principal inhabitants to Sir GEORGE Bnowx, recently re turned from the Crimea, that gallant General most unexpectedly deviated from an expression of thanks into a discourteous lecture, as uncalled for as unbecoming to the press and the public in general, on the deserts of the officers of the British army in the Crimea, and the system under which they hold their commissions. The first, he would have it, were maligned, and the second so perfect that an attempt to amend it would be next to sacrilege, at all events would compromise the safety of the empire. Yet there was as little truth in the allegation as wisdom in the opinion—in other words, none at all. The people of England do not think, and never did think, that British officers generally have not done their duty, and have been inattentive to the wants of their men ; their censure has applied mainly, almost exclusively, to the staff, many of which have not only shown themselves deplorably inefficient, which possibly they could not help, but inattentive also, which they could, while they have come in for the lion's share of promotion and other good things going. Nor has there ever been, nor is there any in tention in the Public mind, or in the mind of army reformers, which amounts to pretty much the same thing, to exclude gentlemen from the army. The public never indulged in any such folly ; what they desire is to have in the service men likely to be most efficient and useful to their country, and to secure an adequate supply of such men without lowering the " tone " of the army ; but t::e reverse—they are persuaded the abolition of the purchase system is necessary. In this opinion Sir GEORGE does not concur, but the prolonged siege operations in which he has taken part ought to have had a different result. None know better than he does that two of the ablest Russian officers who have contributed beyond all others to the defence of Sebastopol General TODLEBEN and Admiral NACHIMOFF—were not offshoots of the Russian aristocracy, but mere " common fellows;" and really Sir GEORGE should have remembered that his own name smacks more of the plebeian than the patrician. But the gallant General seems to have had a "fit " of misrepresentation ; for not only did he misrepresent the opinions of the public in relation to the officers, but he ap peared to have made au erroneous interpretation of their opinion with regard to the conduct of the men. The reader will smile to think Sir GEORGE deemed it necessary to hold up the conduct of our soldiers in the Crimea to public admiration, as if the great heart of England had not throbbed in deepest pulsation with gratitude and admiration for the heroic deeds and indomitable fortitude of her noble defenders. But enough of this ill-judged and impertinent speech. The gallant General would seem to have more " pluck" than head, more courage than dis cretion ; and, though admirably fitted to lead on his men to the charge, to be wholly incompetent to lecture his countrymen at home. Sir GEORGE may be trusted on furlough with almost anything but his tongue, and that ho should have left be hind him, to resume on the first field-day for the encouragement of his division ; for a few such exhibitions as that at Leamington, and adieu to his popularity.

Per i:')33,1 Hlglincss the P.C;coss Alic convalcs, .~(iU, The Queen and Prince, accompanied by the Prince cf Wales, Prince Alfred, and the Princess Royal, proceeded from the Admiralty-house, Portsmouth, yesterday, to visit the Military Hospital. Several wounded officers, lately returned from the Crimea, bad the honour of being presented to her Ma jesty, who afterwards minutely inspected large detach ments of wounded and invalided soldiers, and subse- Quently went round the wards of the hospital, where the ueen personally inquired into the condition of the patients. The Royal party re-embarked in the Fairy about 4 o'clock, and returned to Osborne. Lieutenant-General Sir George Brown arrived on a visit to her Majesty. The Judicial Committee of the Privy Council eat yes terday. The blcckade casep, "The Franciska" (part heard) and "The Johanna Maria," were resumed. THE COMMAND OF THE ARMY IN THE EAST. There have been many rumours lately in circulation of the recall of the present Commander-in-Chief of the Eng lish army in the Crimea. These rumours, we are able to state, are without foundation, as not only has General Simpson not been recalled, but there is no reason to sus pect the slightest intention of recalling him. At the same time, it is proper to state that General Simpeon's health is not of the strongest, and that, there fore, it will excite but little surprise if he find himself unable to cope for a protracted period with the vast la bours and incessant anxieties of the chief command. It is not probable, in the event of General Simpson's coming home,, that a new Commander in-Chief will be sent out from England, as Lord Raglan was almost the only one of the veterans of our last great war that was really fit for service. A GERMAN CLASSIFICATION OF THE ENGLISH CABINET. The following (says the Morning'Advertiser) is a trans lation of a very clever German squib, which has been circulated in high circles, to the amusement, sob rosa, of many. It professes to be a supplement to the well known, steady-going, Tory Almanac de Gotha, but, nevertheless, contrives to give a sly hit at the Coburgs of that ilk, carrying the sting, scorpion-like, in its tail. Of course recent changes in our Governmental body have disarranged some of the writer's office, but the classifica tion is still apt, and defines, as nearly as can be, the true chara,c'er of our Ministers, past and present,—be sides having the further advantage of giving us a slight insight into what are the real views of the German people on the war, as contradistinguished from the German Governments : MINISTERS OF HER MAJESTY THE QUEEN OF GREAT T TEWS.

Ten guns have been sent to Erzeroum, which is now defended by 15,000 men. MADRID, JULY 31. General Zabala will be back this evening, his prompt return being caused by the Emperor Napoleon having quitted Bayonne before the General arrived there.

Our approaches on the side of the Klalakhoff ad vance considerably. We now touch the place. Everything is prepared for a general acti o n in about .15 days. I semi you the last order of the day of General Pelissier, as follows : " GENERAL ORDER. "The enemy, closely invested in the place, make, for several days past, efforts, by means of sorties, to fnter rupt our works before the Malakhoff. They have com pletely failed in their two attempts. On the night of the 14th of July a Russian column of several battalions debouched by the ravine of Karabelnaia, and rushed on the gabionades of the extreme left of this attack, but re ceived with a well sustained fire of musketry by a battalion of the 86th and 91st, the enemy had to abandon the en terprise and retreated carrying off their dead and wounded. They left, however, some dead bodies on the field. That engagement does honour to the Motterouge division ; it has shown great intrepidity. Lieutenant-Colonel Chabron and Major Ttllier, who ably carried out the plans of General Ulrich, who commanded at thei trenches, have given proofs of capacity and vigour. Two nights after, Gen. Vinoy commanding the trenches, the Russians, after having made one demonstration on our extreme right, which did not disturb the sappers of the engineers nor the workmen of the 52d, again made a vigorous attempt on the same point, but were again gallantly repulsed. It was in vain that their attacking column, which was supported by nume rous reserves, redoabled its assault on the three ambus cades which cover our works. A company of Zouaves of the Guard and a company of the 20th of the Line resisted these repeated attempts with a solidity which nothing could weaken. Many Russian bodies remained on the ground. The greatest praise is due to Captain Dufaur, of the 28th, and to Lieutenant Chazottee, of the Zouaves of the Guard, who has been wounded. The conduct of Major Cardoum, who commanded on that point during that night which was so honourable to the Canrobert division, and of Captain Segretain, of the EL gineers, have been equally noticed by me. These com bats, sustained with coolness and resolution, are a severe lesson which our guardians of the trenches will give to the Russians whenever they try by means of sorties arrest the irrisistible march of our works against the place. . " PELISSIER, General-in Chief, &c." YENIKALE, A letter from Yenikale, of the 17th ult., in the •Press d'Orient, says : "The Allies are actively engaged in completing the works of defence which, when finished, will be very formidable. The arrival of Colonel Osmond, as Gover nor, has Oven fresh activity to the works, and it is ex pected that in a very few days the place will I,e in a con dition to defy any attack. His arrival has also been of material service in producing an improvement in the or ganisation for supplying the troops with regular rations which had not been properly carried on, and had caused the soldiers much suffering. The Turks at Kertch hav ing continued their pillaging on the few inhabitants that remained there, Colonel Osmond has caused some severe measures to be adopted to put an end to such a state of things. A few days ago, Colonel Osmond, his aide•de camp, an English colonel, and M. Boost, who com mands the Pomone frigate, went to Tamar, on the coast of Anatolia, in the English gunboat Mira. They landed with a flag of truce. A Cossack officer awaited their arrival at the beach, and before allowing them to set foot on shore told them that, if they came with hostile intentions, they had better return, as the garrison were ready to defend themselves. Tamar is a regular Cossack town, completely independent of Russia, and in just the same position as the Hanse Towns in Europe. Colonel Osmond replied that Tamar had nothing to fear on the part• of the allies ; that they had no intention to attack it, hut only wished to open ami cable relations with the inhabitants, and to purchase their cattle and productions at proper prices. The go vernor of the town, on the report of the officer, gave Colonel Osmond and his companions the most flattering reception, showed them over the town, which is well fortified, and agreed upon the signals which should be made to the vessels at anchor off Yenikale whenever bullocks and other provisions were ready for them at Tamar. The governor and all his officers spoke very good French, and conducted themselves with the utmost courtesy." BRITAIN-CABINET OF JULY 1, 1855. FOR THE WAR AGAINST RUSSIA.

SUICIDE OF A GIRL IN VICTORIA.-PARK.--Yesterday morning, shortly after 7 o'clock, one of the constables was on duty in Victoria-park, Bonner's-fields, and dis covered the body of a female, about 14 years of age, floating in the ornamental water of the enclosure. There were marks on the face, and her eyes were blackened from external violence. The police of the K division have made inquiry, and, from information they have re ceived, the deceased is alleged to have been grossly ill treated and neglected. FATAL ACCIDENT AT THE ROYAL BREWERY, BRENT FORD.—On Tuesday evening a fatal accident occurred at the Royal Brewery, Brentford, owing to the fall of a portion of a wall enclosing a piece of waste ground ad joining the brewery. Outside the wall an alley runs down to the Thames, and of five or six children who were playing there two were killed. A third was buried beneath the rubbish, but was sheltered in some way, and crawled out uninjured. The accident was caused by the fall of some recently built arches which rested against the wall. DOGGETT'S COAT AND BADGE.—The annual contest from London-bridge to Chelsea for Doggett's Coat and Badge touk place yesterday, and was one of the best races seen for many years past. The start was well ar ranged, end after a spirited contest, Henry Jas. White, of Mill Stairs, Bermondsey, was declared the winner of the principal prize by nearly 100 yards. Thos. Adcock, St. George's Stairs (second), end William Ling, Tower Stairs (third), received respectively 4/. 10s. and 2/. 143. from a fund provided for the purpose. The other com petitors also received small sums from the Fishmongers' Company, who, in addition, after the race, regaled the whole of the men with a substantial repast. THE CITY OF LONDON BURIAL BOARD.—Yesterday, at a court of the City Commission of Sewers, a discus sion took place upon the memorial of the Archdeacon of London, and certain of the clergy, to be placed upon the Burial Board of the said city. The question had been referred to the commission by the Court of Com mon Council, and the commissioners, who form the Burial Board, seemed to consider that the application came late, seeing that they had been in existence as such for three years, and it was rather extraordinary that, just as they had completed all the works of the ceme tery, the memorialists should, for the first time, ex pre. s a wish to become members of the board. For these and other reasons, the commissioners came to a unanimous resoultion not to comply with the application of the memorialists. A special meeting of the company of Copper Miners in England was held yesterday, to elect a governor in the place of Sir John Dean Paul, who has resigned. The deputy-governor, Sir J. H. Pelly, was unanimously appointed to fill the vacancy, several of the proprietors taking the opportunity of adverting to the services he has rendered the undertaking, especially in its re-organ isation. Mr. George Gay was subsequently elected deputy-governor, and Mr. G. 11. Pownall, one of the assistants, to supply the vacancy occasioned by the ele vation of Mr. Gay. It was mentioned, in reference to the failure of Messrs. Strahan, Paul, and Bates, that the claim of the company against the estate does not exceed 1,0171. The Court of ASsistants hold possession of some shares, the private property of Sir John Dean Paul, but a doubt is entertained if they constitute a security available against the firm. The general prospects of the company are stated to be favourable, the advance iniron having given an impetus to their works. With regard to the c i rcu l a ti on o f the accounts previously to the periodical meetings, it was stated that the directors will give th e question their best cons id era ti on , an d en deavour to comply, if possible, with the wishes of the proprietors, TURKEY. We have received the Constantinople letters and journals, of the 23d, brought by the Gange. The report, mentioned in the accounts by the last mail, that the object of the visit of Omer Paella to the Turkish capital was to give the Government some advice as to the manner of carrying on the war in Asia, appears to be now confirmed by the fact that since his arrival he has Leen present at all the Councils which have been held at the Imperial Palace, at the Porte, and at the Ministry of War, where the principal subject under consideration has been the movements of the Russians on the coast of Asia and the situation of the Ottoman army in that quarter. On the 22d, the Generalissimo and the Turkish Minister of War went to the English Embassy, where they had a long confer ence with Lord Stratford de Redcliffe and General Vivian, who commands the Turkish contingent, and on leaving the English Emllessy they went to visit the camp occupied by these troops. Accord ing to letters of the 7th, received from Kars via Trebizond, the situation of that place is not so pre carious as was at first supposed. These letters state, on the faith of some merchants who had ar rived at the latter place, (what we have already announced as a report by telegraph), that Schamyl was advancing in force against Tiflis, and that the Russian General Mourawieff, having been informed of the fact, had raised the siege of Kars, and marched with his army to protect Tiflis. The Bashi-Bazouks still continue in the most complete state of disorganisation at the Dardanelles, setting all their officers at defiance, and committing out rages and plundering in every direction. FRANCE. PARIS, WEDNESDAY EVENING. The Emperor and Empress will, it is said, take up their residence at the Chb,teau of Villeneuve. l'Etang, while awaiting the arrival of the Queen of England. Prince Napoleon, accompanied by several of the foreign commissioners, has commenced a series of visits which ho - 7 - fop ,, ss to umla, hi sueecs3kai tv bile duff The itioniicto publishes a letter addressed by Lord . Cowley to C)unt Walewski, enclosing a copy of • a despatch received by Lord Panmure from General Simpson, expressing that officer's deep regret at the death of Lieut.-Colonel Vico, attached as French Commissioner to the head-quarters of the English army in the Crimea. .... The Minister of the Interior has addressed a re port to the Emperor on the subject of the advance in the salaries of Prefects, as fixed by the decree of March 27, 1852, without necessitating their re moval from the department, where it is desirable that they should remain. As that decree fixed an immediate advance of 10,000 fr. in their salaries, the large expense, says the report, which would be entailed on the State would allow it to be carried into execution onlyin rare instances, and therefore in order to remedy that inconvenience the Minister proposes that the increase should be limited to 5,000 fr., to be further augmented to 10,000 fr. after 5 years' further residence in the same department. The Moniteur contains an Imperial decree carrying out the recommendations of the report. The Narval steamer arrived at Toulon on the 31st ult. from the Pirams with Admiral Lebarbier de Tinan on board. The Canada steamer-frigate arrived there on the same day, bringing, troops from Civita Vecchia. The screw transport La Meurthe, of 1,200 tons, left Brest on the 31st ult., for the Black Sea.

A letter from Vienna of• the 28th ult., in the Cologne Gazette, says :—" A very warlike order of the day has been published by the Muschir Ismail Pacha, who commands on the Danube. The Pacha compliments the troops on their past conduct, and promises them approaching victories over the Rus sians. Baron de Bourqu'eney had a long con ference with Count Buol yesterday, at which he read to him a note which he had received from Count Walewski. M. d'Oubril, attached to the Russian Legation, also had an interview of the President of the Council, in which he assured the latter that, in consequence of the reduction of the Austrian army, no more troops would be concentrated in Poland, where only the ordinary garrisons would be kept up. Most of the regiments, which had been on their march for Poland from the interior of Russia, have received orders to march on the southern pro vinces." PRUSSIA. A letter from Berlin states that the Ministers of France 'and England, the Marquis de Moustier and Lord Bloomfield, have obtained leave of absence from their respective Governments, and are about to quit that city. A letter from Berlin of the 29th ult. states that, according to the most correct calculation, the half of the loan of 30 millions of thalers voted last year has been, swallowed up by the military expenses caused by the Eastern question. Up to the end of the year 1854 the additional expenses caused by the partial mobilisation amounted to 4,135,724 thalers, since which there has been expended on the same account 1,685,000 thalers a-month, which makes about 10 millions of thalers in six months, without reckoning other extraordinary expenses. The ca valry and artillery are to remain at their present strength. MULDEI?, OF GENERAL BEATSON. A telegraphic despatch from Constantinople, which we publish in another column, informs us that the Bashi- Bazouks ' who had been for a long time under the com mand of General Beatson, have filled the measure of tneir iniquities by murdering their general. We have no certitude of the accuracy of this tele graphic message, but we are led to fear that the melan choly catastrophe which it so curtly communicates is but too true. From information that has reached us from other sources, we are in a position to lay before our readers the latest authentic intelligence relative to the v.ild bands under the command of cur unfortunate countryman. _ _ It will be recollected that, at the outset of the war, the celebrated French General Yusouf and our General Beatson undertook the disciplining of the fierce levies known as the Bashi-Bazouks. General Yusouf, who had tamed the wild Arabs of the Desert and disciplined the tribes of Algeria, soon found that all his experience, his patience, and his firmness were utterly unavailing, and he gave up the attempt in despair. Our gallant countryman, however, perseve:.ed, and we had hoped his endeavours would be crowned with success. Latterly, a great body of the B ishi-Rizouka have been encamped under his command on the further shore of the Dardanelles. Amongst these men, we regret to say, frequent signs of insubordination were manifest, and, about a fortnight ago, an act of atrocious violence was committed, which led to further mischief. Two officers of the corps were walking with their wives in the neighbouring c. untry, when a party of Bashi nazouks fell upon, and assaulted, and outraged the ladies. The moment the General heard of this villany, he ordered the miscreants under arrest. A great portion of their rascally comradeti, however, sympathised with them, and, probeeding to the General's house in open mutiny, struck their yataghans into the ground, and, piling up combustible materials, threatened, and that in the most fearful 'earnest, that, unless their comrades were instantly released from arrest, they would set fire to the house, and burn the General alive, with his wife and children. _ _ _ General Beatson had no alternative, and liberated the men, who, with their comra,ies, paraded about with every demonstration of triumph, and finally eet out for Broussa, laying no tender hands upon the property of the inhabitants, and with apparent intentions of pillag ing in every direction. This was the last thing heard of them. Since that we receive the sad but too probable news that we pub lish in another part of our paper, and which indicates a too cruel termination to a distinguished and honourable career.—Morning Post. THE IUTIONAL GALLERY. The copy of d '''._'reasury minute, issued on the 27th of March last, and riferred to in the House of Commons on Monday niglit, was issued yesterday. My Lords, having before them the report of the select committee of the House of -Commons on the National Gallery, and having duly conkiered its recommendations, lay down certain rules and regulations for the future manage ment of the Gallery, with the object not only to meet the existing requirements of the Gallery, but to promote the development of the institution and to make it more worthy of the country and the advanced position of art. My Lords are not pre pared to abolish entirely the system of trustees ; they propose to continue the present Board of Trustees (ex cepting the ex officio members), if the members thereof will continue to act, and to limit the number to six. My Lords then propose to appoint a "director" of the Na tional Gallery, with a salary of 1,0001. per annum for five years, re-eligible, but liable at .any time to be dis missed by the Treasury. Sir C. Eastlake has been ap pointed the first director. The conjoint duties of the trustees and the director are then precisely defined. The chief duties of the director will be the purchase, or re commendation for purchase, of pictures for the National Gallery, and the arrangement, description, and conser vation of the collection. One of his most important duties will be to compile a correct history of every picture in the collection, including its repairs, and de scribing its present condition. As a general rule, my lords opine that pictures should be selected at sales abroad, and that preference should be awarded to "good specimens of the Italian schools," including the works of the earlier 'masters. In the estimate for the Gallery, my lords will annually insert a sum expressly for the purchase of pictures, to be expended or to accumulate, as may be thought proper. For the present, no loan or temporary deposit of pictures in the gallery will be per mitted ; and the sanction of my lords must be obtained be fore any picture can be lentor removed. A "travelling agent" will be appointed, with 3001. a-year salary, to visit private collections abroad and report sales. The officer next in rank to the director will be the " keeper and secretary" (the recommendation of the com mittee for the abolition of the former office having been rejected), with a salary of 7501. a-year. This officer will reside in the building, and will be required to discharge most important and onerous duties, including, above all, thecompilation of a catalogue raisorin6 of the masters (as u'commended in the appendix to the report of the committee), under the supervision of the director, to whom he will be in all things sub ordinate. His other duties will be to attend meetings of the board, draw up the minutes, and conduct the correspondence. No special accountant is to be appointed, but an experienced Treasury officer will do the duty. As regards the " attendants," my lords are pleased to name ten in Trafalgar-square (in cluding three curator,), and six at Marlborough house (including two curators). My lords have re quested the following noblemen and gentlemen to continue to act as trustees under the new 'system, viz. : —the Earls of Ripon and Aberdeen, the Marquis of Lansdowne, M r. S amuel Rogers, the Duke of Suther land, the Earl of Ellesmere Lord Monteagle, Sir Jas. Graham, L or d Overstone, ' Lord Ashburton, Mr. Wm. Russell, and Mr. Thos. Baring. Sir Charles Eastlake has accepted the post of director. Mr. Wornum has been appointed keeper and secretary, and Mr. Otto Moodier, travelling agent.
