We believe Mr. Coartenay's experience in the treatment of stric ture during the last twenty years has equalled, if, indeed, it has not surpasseol, that of any of his contemporaries. It is, therefore, no matter of sunrise that he should enjoy the reputation of being a most dexterous and skilful manipu ator with urethral instruments ; and when it is remembered that the lamented Liston used to assert that the introduction of instruments through a stricture which had previously been impermeable to them, was the most difficult in the whole range of surgical operations, it must be no slight source of gratification on Mr. Courtenay's part. to have achieved the reputation he has in this res3ect ; and for our part, with the knowledge we have of his experience, we know of no man to whose care we would with greater confidence entrust the treatment of a severe case of stricture of the urethra."—Medical Circular.

July HI, at 12, in one lot, the highly valuable and im portant FREEHOLD ESTATE, known as BOLD H4LL, including a noble and handsome mansion, 'with offices, gardens, and pleasure ground", commanding extensive views of the surrounding scenery, and seated in a park of rich land, ornamented with thriving woods, encircled with belts of plantation", and surrounded by numerous farms and accommodation lands, forming a domain of 3,251 a. 1 r. 24 p. of excellent land, comprising the capital farms known as Old Hall, Moat House, and Barrow Hall, with superior newly-erected homesteads, and about 30 other valuable farms, with suitable farm buildings, and numerous small occupations and cottages. The man sion, park, and Old Farm are in hand. The remainder of the estate is let to respectable tenants, at very moderate rents ; and the annual value of the whole may be estimated at upwards of 6,0001. The tenants pay all outgoings on the farms. The woodlands are tithe free, and the outgoings paid by the landlord are consequently very small.

WAR-DEPARTMENT, JULY 2. Lord Panmure has this day received a despatch and its enclosure, of which the following are copies. addressed to his lordship by the late Field-Marshal Lord Raglan, G.C.B. Before Sebastopol, June 19, 1855. My Lord,—l informed your lordship, 'on the 16th, that new batteries had been completed, and that in con sequene.e the allies would be enabled 'to resume the offen= sive against Sebastopol with the utmost vigour. Accordingly, on the 17th, at daylight, a very heavy fire was opened from all the batteries in the English and French trenches, and maintained throughout the day, and the effect produced appeared so satisfactory that it was determined that the French should attack the Malakhoff works the next morning, and that the Eiiglish should assail the Redan as soon after as I might con sider it desirable. It was at first proposed that the artillery fire should be resumed on the morning of the 18th, and should be kept up for about two hours, for the pur pose of destroying any works the enemy might have thrown up in the night, and of opening pawages through the abattis that covered the Redan ; but on the evening of the 17th it was intimated to me by General Pelissier that he had determined, upon further consideration, that the attack by his troops should take place at three the following morning. The French therefore commenced their operations as -day broke, and, a 3 their several columns came within range of the enemy's fire, they encountered the most serious opposition, both from musketry and the guns in the works, which had been silenced the previous evening, and observing this I was induced at once to order our columns to move out of the trenches upon the Rerlan. It had been arranged that detachments from the Light, 2d, and 4th Divisions, which I placed for the occasion under the command of Lient.•General Sir G. Brown, should be formed into three columns ; that the right one should attack the left face of the Redan between the flanking batteries ; that the centre should advance upon the salient angle; and that the left should move upon the re-enterirg angle fixined by the right face and flank of the work ; the first and last preceding the centre column. The flank columns at once obeyed the signal to ad vance, preceded by caverine, parties of the Rifle Bri gade. and by sailors carrying ladders and soldiers car. rying won;bags ; but they had no sooner shown them selves beyond the trenches than they were assailed by a most murderous fire of grape and musketry. Those in advance were either killed or wouoded, and the re. mainder found it impo=sible to proceed. I never before witnessed such a continued and heavy fire of grape com bined w;th mueketry from the enemy's works, which appeared to be fully manned ; and the long list of killed and wounded in the Light and 4th Divi.ions, and the seamen of the Naval Brigade, under Captain Peel, who was unfortnnate'T wounded, though not severely, will show that a very large proportion of - those that went forward fell. Major-General Sir John Campbell, who led the left attack, end Colonel Sbadforth, of the 57th, who commanded the storming party under his di. rectinn, were both killed, as was Colonel Yea, of the Royal Fusiliers, who led the right column. T cannot say too much in praise of these officers. Nfajcr-General Sir J. Campbell had commanded the 4th Division 'rum the period of the battle of Tnkerman till the arrival very recently of Lieut.-General Bentinck. He had devoted himself to his duty without any inter mission ; and had acquired the confidence and respect of all ; I most deeply lament his loss. Colonel Shadforth had maintained the efficiency of his regiment by constant attention to all the details of his command ; and Colonel Yea was not only distinguished for his gallantry, but had exercised his control of the Royal Fusiliers in such a manner as to win the affec tions of the soldiers under his orders, and to secure to them every comfort and accommodation which his per sonal exertions could procure br them. I shall not be able to send your lordship correct lists of killed and wounded by this opportunitp, but I will forward them by telegraph as soon as they are made out. I have not any definite information upon the move ments of the French columns, and the atmosphere be came so obscured by the smoke from the guns and mus ketry that it was not possible by personal observation to ascertain their progress, though I was particularly well situated for the purpose ; but I understand that their left column, under General Dautemarre, passed the ad vanced works of the enemy, and threatened the gorge of the Malakhoff Tower ; and that the two other columns, under Generals Mayran and Brunet, who both, I regret to say, were killed, met with obstacles equal to those we encountered, and were obliged, in consequence, to abandon the attack. _ _ The superiority of our fire on the day we opened led both General Pelissier and myself, and the afiners of the Artillery and Engineers of the two services, and the armies in general, to conclude that the Russian Artillery fire was, in a great measure, subdued, and that the ope ration we projected could be undertaken with every , prospect of success. The result has shown that the re sources of the enemy were not exhausted, and that they had still the power, either from their ships or from their batteries, to bring an overwhelming fire upon their as sailants. Whilst the direct attack upon the Redan was pro ceeding, Lieutenant-General Sir R. England was directed to send one of the brigades of the 3d Division, under the command of Major-General Barnard, down the Woron zow Ravine, with a view to give support to the attack ing columns on his right ; and the other brigade, under Major-General Eyre, still further to the left, to threaten the works at the head of the Dockyard Creek. I have not yet received their reports, and shall not be able to send them t.• your lordship to-day ; but General Eyre was very seriously engaged, and he himself wounded, though I am happy to say not severely, and he possesskd himself of a churchyard, which the enemy had hitherto carefully watched, and some houses within the place; but as the town front was not attacked, it be came necessary to withdraw his brigade at night. I shall make a special report upon this by the next mail, and I shall avail myself of the same opportunity to name to you the officers who have been particularly mentioned to me. lam concerned to have to inform you that Lieute nant-Colonel Tylden. of the Royal Engineers, wh6se services I have had the greatest pleasure in bringing so frequently to your lordship's notice, is very severely wounded. The account I received of him this morning is upon the whole satisfactory, and I entertain strong hone• that his valuable life will be preserved. I feel greatly indebted to Sir G-. Brown for the manner in which he conducted the dutie3 I entrusted to him ; and my warmest acknowledgments are due to Major- General Harry Jones, not only for his valuable assist ance on the present occasion, but for the able, zealous, and energetic manner in which ho has conducted the siege i perations since he assumed the command of the Royal Engineers. He received a wound from a grape shot in the fore head yesterday, which I trust will not prove serious. I brought up the 14 division from the vicinity of Balaklava as a reserve, and I shall retain them on these heights. The Sardinian troops, under General La Marmon, and the Turkish troops, under Omer Pasha, crossed the Tchernaya on the 17th instant, and occupy positions in front of Chorgouna. They have not come in contact with any large body of the enemy. I have, &c., RAGLAN. The Lord Panmure, &a., &o , &a. P.S. I enclose lists of casualties in the Naval Brigade to the 18th instant inclusive. I regret to say these are heavy.

Admiralty, July 2, 1855. Despatches, of which the following are copies, have been received from Rear-Admiral the Hon. R. S. Dan cing, commander in-chief of her Majesty's ships and vessels on the Baltic station. Duke of Wellington, at anchor, Toulhoukin Lighthouse, W.S.W., 5 miles, June 24, 1855. Sir,--In my letter of the 18th instant, No. 196, I reported for the information of the Lords Commis sioners of the Admiralty, that I had- dire•ted Rear-Ad miral Seymour to proceed with het Majesty's ship Ex= mouth and Blenheim, and with the gunboats Pincher and Snap, to examine the coast in the' Bay of Narva ; and I have now the honour to transmit the enclosed letter which I have received from .the Rear-Admiral, reporting his proceedings. I have much pleasure in expressing my satisfaction at the spirited and judicious manner in which he took occa sion to occupy the attention of the troops which were strongly posted in the neighboirhood, and my sense of the zealous efforts, of the offie.era and men under his orders, particularly those in the two gun-boats, which appear to have" been well handled under a smart fire from the enemy's batteries.—l have. 4Stc , (Signed) R. S. DITND-.45, Rear-Admiral and Commander-in-Chief. To the Secretary of the Admiralty. No. 1 Enclosure. REPORT OF PROCEEDINGS AT NARVA. Her Majesty's ship Exmouth, Off Seskar, June 19. Sir,—ln obedience to your directions of the 15th inst., I quitted Seskar anchorage at 8 a.m. on Saturday, the 16th, anchoring at 7 p.m, under East Tyters Island, off a village situate on its S.S.E. extremity, with a view of obtaining information respecting the river Narva; but only succeeded in learning that a considerable body of troo➢s were about Narva and its vicinity. Quitting East Tyters on the evening of Sunday, the 17th, Narva Lighthouse was made out yesterday, at 2.30 a.m., with the broad extent of sandy beach that borders the hay. Oa nearing the entrance of the river, which is narrow, and has a bar on which the breaking shoal water was visible, a considerable number of troops, including a party of cavalry, were seen in active movement, and a large caisson or construction of timber was floated and sunk in the entrance of the river, and became the means of communication with either side ; a few wood vessels and river craft only were visible inside the river, the banks of which are of sand, thickly timbered, and well adapted for defence by troops. An earth battery of 12 guns lies on the east side of the river's entrance, and one of 10 guns near the lighthouse, with another in its rear, seen from the mast-head, apparently to command the river ; and two other guns were placed in position on the right extremity of the Lighthouse Battery. An opportunity was afforded to try the practical effi ciency of the gun-boats Pincher and Snap, under the immediate charge of Capt. Hall, of the Blenheim, who, with good judgment, added one of his main-deck 68- pounders to the armament of the former, and until rain and squally weather interfered, their practice was good, and their constant change of position rendered them difficult objects to hit, though the fort guns were well served, using hot shot, which frequently passed near and over them. On the weathericlearing the gun-boats opened fire, and the Blenheim and Exmouth likewise took an oppor tunity of a couple of hours' practice, covering the gun boats with good effect. which were ably manoeuvred by Lieutenant C. A. C. De Crespigny, in command of the Snap, and Lieutenant Steward, in command of the Pin cher, in the former of which I had placed Lieutenant Travers, R.1V1., with ten gunners of the Royal Marine Artillery of the Exmouth, who did good service. Mr. Harper, assistant-surgeon of this ship, was likewise on board the Snap, he having volunteered for that service. As it was evident, from the first, that no serious at tempt could be made on the enemy's position, and as a large expenditure of ammunition would have been use less, I considered that enough had now been done to oc cupy the attention of the troops in the neighbourhood, and no advantage appearing to offer itself for a longer continuance in 'Narva Bay the signal was made to dis continue firing, and I proceeded, in compliance with your orders, to rejoin your flag. I enclose a return of a casualty which, I regret to learn, occurred 'to Capt. Searle, IL M., of the Blenheim, the effects of which, I trust will not prove serious. I have, &a. (Signed) M.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET POLICE COURT. A dense mob assembled before the police -court at an early hour to hear the result of the complaints against 70 persons taken into custody on Sunday in Hyde-park for various felonies, for throwing stones, and disorderly conduct. When Mr. Hardwick, the sitting magistrate, made his appearance in the street, for the purpose of taking his seat on the bench, the mob began, some to cheer and some to hoot ; several persons cried out "Act with justice," and one person flung a stone, which, how ever, missed the magistrate and struck a person near him. Mr. Hardwick having entered the court was in the act of passing one of the windows, when a stone was flung from the street, which broke a pane of glass, hut did no further damage. Mr. Hardwick, who took these attacks with unruffled temper, intimated to the in spector that if the persons outside persisted in their dis orderly conduct he would procure the assistance of suffi cient civil force and cause the street and avenues of the court V, be cleared. A pause of three hours took place, in consequence of a doubt which existed as to the Home-office allowing the charges to be heard at this court, a power being vested in the Home-office of removing charges to Bow-street, to be heard there. This power has been several times exercised with reference to cases arising within the jurisdiction of this court, and always with great incon venience to all parties—prosecutors, witnesses, and pri soners. In one instance—the murder of Lord William Russell—the removal of the case to 8 ,, w-street had nearly led to the defeat of justice, as important evidence was rurnished to this Court which only by something like an accident reached Bow-street in sufficient time to insure the conviction of the murderer. About one o'clock Mr. Ballantine entered the court, and, addressing the magistrate, said—Sir, I humbly beg to ask you, as there are a number of persons in custody, to older the Police Inspector to bring them into court, that we may hear what the charges are. Mr. Hardwick—l am prepared to go on with the busi ness, which now rests with the police, I believe. Mr. Ballantine —They are here in custody. and again I ask that they may at once he brought into court ; un less, indeed, the inspector does not wish them to be brought before an impartial tribunal. Inspector Lester—l have no wish in the matter ;I am merely waiting for orders. Mr. Hardwick—The inspector can have nothing to do with this del a y ; h e i s on l y act i ng under the orders of his superior officers. Mr. Ballantine—At present I appear for two of the accused, but most probably I shall appear for all the others. Another delay of more than an hour took place, in which time the number of prisoners was considerably augmented in consequence of the conduct of the mob outside, and the necessity for police interference. At last Mr. Hardwick informed the professional gen tlemen that the charges were to be heard at the court, and would be proceeded with as soon as the Crown counsel appeared. At 3 o'clock Mr. Herring, who appeared for one of the defendants, applied to have the case heard. His client had been taken into custody at three o'clock yesterday, had been kept in custody ever since, and was now in a crowded room below almost suffocated with the heat. His client's case was one of great hardship, as he was an apprentice, and his character was at stoke as well as future prospects. He attributed no fault to the magis trate, but he must blame those in authority who were the cause of this unjustifiable delay. Mr. Ballantine—l must say that I never in the whole course of my life witnessed anything so scandalous as the conduct of Government from the beginning to the end of this business. The disturbance that occurred yesterday, it is well known, was occasioned by the bad management of those in authority, and, after the per sons who were apprehended have been in custody so many hours, I really think they have a right to know why they are detained. You hear, Sir, that a respect able lad is in custody, and yet there is not a soul present to tell you on what ground or to explain any charge - Mr. Hardwick—No doubt this delay is extremely in convenient to us all. The prisoners may be detained until a late hour before their cases are determined ; they are in the custody of the police, and until the sheets are before me I cannot hear evidence. Mr. Ballantine—Either they are before you, or they are not. I want that tested. The persons accused are at this court. Mr. Hardwick— They are in the custody of the police, but I can have no cognisance of the fact until they are brought in the regular way before me, and the inspector proceeds to charge A, B, C, or D with as offence. Mr. Herring—l do not wish to cast the slightest re- rRJCE 4D. STAMPED SD. flection on the Court. I want only to know why my client is incarcerate.j. Mr. Dallantine--We wi'l not get into a dißcusQion about stone•throwinn• ; the question involved in these prccaedings is of infinitely iu ,, re importance. Depend upon i that Vie griss neglect which Government hsve shown t , wards these subject.; of the Queen, whom they have ventured to order into custody, will not tail to be notic, d. At this stage of the proceedings two persons were placed at the bar, charg , I with aisaulting the police in tl.e front of the court. The prisoners gave the names of William Flowers and George Heckling. Police•constables C 190, and C 197, deposed to the effect that they saw both prisoners throw stones at the police. One constable had his face cut. The prisoners denied the charge. " Mr. Lewis cross-examined the police, but failed in shaking their evidence. Mr. Hardwick inflicted a fine of 40s. on each. The father of Flowers made an appeal to the Court on behalf of hi 4 son, who had been marked out by thepolice because he WA4 known to be the scu of a publican. Mr. Hardwick could not refuse to convict on the evi dence on oath of a'policeman. Mr. Herring again protested at the dela. Mr. Hardwick eaid the business of the Court would close at 5 o'clock. If any 'onelad any complaint to make against the police, he must .resort to the proper autho rities. Mr. Ballantine woulo. ask the magistrate to call upon the police to bring up the prisoners. There were about 90 persons in custody ; it was how half-past 3 o'clock, and no one was there to prefer any charge. Anything more insolent towards you, air, or the public was never before heard of. Gaverument must know of the number of oases in custody, mil yet no one comes forward to offer an ex planation or an apology for the bad . condnct , that has been exLiblted. It is, however, a matter of satisfaction to know _that the amount of insolence shown by the police to your orders, eir, 13 equally ready to be shown towards yourself. There was another pause during which the mob out side were occasionally disposed to be noisy and riotous, but a smart shower taking placethey dispersed. About a quarter to 5 o'clock Superintendent O'Brien, of the C division, and other superintendents entered the court, and in reply to a qneation Mr.O'Brien said he had not been to the court before that day. The first case was against Edward Copas, a youth about LS years old. Superintendent Hughe?, D division, was called and examined.---Was in Hyde Park at a quarter before 2 o'clock on Sunday, near the south side of the Serpentine. A large mob had assembled. By 3 o'clock there were from 40,000 to 50,000 persons present, and they lined both sides of the road. Could not say whether the de fendant at the bar was among the mob. Whenever a carriaife or a person on horseback passel there was great tumult, shouting, hooting, and cries of " Go to church," " Who bought you that horse ?" Had 250 constables under him. His orders were to disperse the crowd as soon as any disturbance arose. The police were also to keep back the mob from the rails. Some stones were thrown at the constables. One or two struck witness, but not so as to hurt him. Shortly after 4 o'clock several persons were taken into custody and conveyed to the statism-house in cab 4. Was aware that hand bills had been extensively circulated and posted up in the park by order of the commissioners. One of the handblls was posted at Albert-gate. On several occasions he had spoken to the assembled persons to induce them to go away quietly. No one paid any at tention to him—neither the well-dressed nor the evil-dis posed. The latter class of persons impeded the police as much as possible. Mr. Clarkson who, with Mr. Reynolds, the Treasury solicitor, were in attendance (as unders;;ood) on the part of the Crown, asked the superintendent if the assembly in Hyde-park, was of such a character as to prove a terror to those who did not form part of such assembly ? Superintendent Hughes—l should say it was. The mob were swaying about and making much disturbance. Later in the day an application was made for a body of constables, as the mob were throwing stones at the sol diers in the barracks. When it was getting dark he con sulted with his brother officers as to the best means of getting the people quietly out of the park, and formed 100 constables in a line, and paraded them towards the throng, and by that means the park was tolerably well cleared. Cross-examined by Mr. Ballantine—Were many people injured le—Yee. How many ?-4 did not see how many. Was there a child half crushed ?—I heard so. Did not several people sustain ',serious wounds from the police heard some persons were injured. Don't you know that several were wounded ?—Yes. Did you not see the police use their truncheons gave orders to the constables to use their truncheons. They obeyed you, and struck right and left at the people, did they not ?—Not right and left. Vioieetly ?—Not violently, in my opinion. What were the people doing at this time ?—They had assembled at the north side of the Serpentine. Was that the whole offence ?—No ; they were hooting and shouting. Then the crime the people were committing was hoot ing and shouting? —They were also using language cal culated to produce a breach of the peace. Was there any carriages in the park ?—Very few. There were no other expressions used by the people than those you have told us of until after the police used their truncheons ?—There had been stone-throwing. I was struck on the shoulder with a stone. How long have you had the defendants in custody ? —Since yesterday afternoon, I believe. Why were not the cases brought on earlier ?—We were waiting for orders, and we had no orders until half past 4 o'clock. Cross-examined by Mr. Clarkson--Under his orders the police used their truncheons. The people obstructed the footpath and carriage -road and would not disperse. Had been ordered by Sir R. Mayne to disperse any rioters; if they assembled. Found the mob obstinate and riotous, and told the constables to use their staves. Had appealed to the people repeatedly to go away---told them five or six times it would be wise if they went away be fore telling the constables to use their truncheons. Was on horseback anti rode among the people, making ob servations of the state of things between Apsley-house and the receiving -house. Saw two vehicles run away with by the horses in consequence of the noise and hooting. There were rings of persons in several parts of the park, as if some persons were addressing the peo ple, but could net hear what was said. Considered that the conduct of the mob was calculated to excite terror, and that the mob was a tumultuous assembly. Thomas Potter, D 84, was in plain clothes. Heard bad expressions from the mob, such as "The will have their work to do to-day." Saw several carriages stopped. Saw hats rattled against the horses, which caused them to take fright. Saw bushels of stones thrown. Saw persons take up stones and put them in their handkerchiefs and pockets. Saw the prisoner pick up a stone and throw it at a police-constable. Kept his eyes on the prisoner until he met a constable in uniform, and then he laid hold of the prisoner, and helped to con vey him to the receiving -house. Cross-examined by Mr. Ballantine—Several of the constables had got marks to show from being struck by stones. The police did not interfere before stones were thrown. Mr. Ballantine, for the defence, said, he thought it right, first, to state under what circumstances he ap peared for the defendants at the bar. He bad been in structed to attend for the accused parties by Messrs. Travers and Smith, most respectable persons, who had, though not acquainted with the defendants, from cer tain circumstances that had come to their knowledge, arrived at the opinion that the present charge ought to be watched, and that persons in the condition of the de fendants ought not to be left entirely unprotected. He had not been instructed by those who wished to see a continuance of rioting or a breach of the peace commit ted, but by persons who held a strong opinion that, un less a change took place in contemplated interferences with the people's comforts, great and serious evils would occur and dangers arise of far more serious moment than those of knocking off policemen's bats. These gentle men felt it to be their duty, as loyal subjects of the Queen, to call the attention of the magistrates to those proposed changes which had driven the people to ex cesses, which would go on increasing unless common sense were allowed to rule in place, as at present, of prejudice, bigotry, and folly. It was impossible to treat this as a slight question. With reference to the bills before Parliament, be would not express any judgment. He firmly believed, however, that the cause of the riot, on Sunday, was that feeling entertained by every Eng lishman, however temperate the way in which he de veloped it, that he would not have his fair pleasures in terfered with, his immunities crushed, or be prevented from meeting openly in a rational manner, by an Act of Parliament. Further, that if interfered with by authority, it was a matter cf the last importance that power should .be placed in discreet hands, who would prefer to teach and instruct rather than to drive —a course which must end in a way that all would regret. The silly manner in which an obnoxious mea sure had been brought into the House of Commons made the people justly anxious, in a quiet way, to show that their comf or t s mus t no t b e a bruptly inter fered with ; that th e y f e lt th ey were no t f a irly represented in the House of C ommons ; an d that their interests were not to be sacrificed and recklessly destroyed by any the silly person or party. They went to Hyde Partktwoicthomnomvitina. dictive feelings, but in good humour ; n i o crime, but to teach a useful . l t e t s le so s n en til n y c ; in short, hoping to drive a head of the author of this most ridiculous measure. Had this proceeding been taken kindly and in good humour the day would have passed over peaceably, and not have ended, as it did, in quarrelling, in blasphemy, and with 80 or 90 people incarcerated in cells, and several persons wounded. And yet, with these serious matters before them, nobody appeared to know anything, there was no one to bring a charge, and the court had just had a speci men of the ignorance and indifference of people in autho rity, and their utter unfitness for having authority in trusted to them. If such qualities were exhibited in the House of Parliament, could it be wondered at if out breaks were sometimes seen ? Anything more disgraceful than what bad occurred that day could not be imagined. All sorts of tricks and traps had been resorted to in or der to get the cases to Bow-street, as if an independent ADMIRALTY, JULY 2. Despatches, of which the following are copies, have been received from Rear-Admiral Sir edmund Lyons, Brut., G.C.8., Corn mander•in-Chief of .11er Majesty's ships and vessbls in the Mediterranean , an lack Sea Royal Albert," off Sehastopl9-, 1855.- Sir,—The enclosed copy of a letter from - -Capt. Lush ington, who commands' the Naval Brigade before Sebastopol, has just reached me in time to be trans mitted for the information of the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty, by this day's mail. • . Their lordships will readily perceive that the gallantry which has distinguished the Naval Brigade throughout the war was never more distinguished than it was yes terday, during the attack on the Malakhoff Tuwer and Redan ; and on a future early occasion it will be my pleasing duty to bring under their lortiships' notice the conduct of those engaged during the late bombardment and attack. I regret to find the name of Lieutenant Thomas 0. Kidd, of the Albion, amongst the killed yesterday ; he was a zealous and gallant young officer, and had served a long time with the Naval Brigade. Amongst the wounded is Captain Peel, of the Leander, whose chivalrous gallantry and cheerful readiness for every duty render his presence with the brigade invalu able, and I hope that Captain Lushington may not long be deprived of his services. I regret also to find amongst the wounded Lieutenant William B. UrinF-ton, of the Queen ; Lieutenant John H. Cave, of the Diamond ; Lieut. Osborne W. Dalyell, 'of the Leander ; Mr. George Parsons, Mate, of the Dauntless ; and Mr. H. E. Wood, Midshipman, of the Queen, Aide- , 'e-Camp to Captain Peel.—l am, &c., (Signed) EDMUND LYONS, Rear-Admiral and Commander-in-Chief. To the Secretary of tire Admiralty, London. Camp, Naval Brigade, June 18, 1855. Sir,—l have the honour to report that on Sunday, at three a.m., we opened fire as before on the different forts of Sebestopol, which was very soon returned, but not with the spirit or skill that 'many characterises the enemy's fire. Towards two p.m. the fire became very black, and their batteries appeared much shaken. The fire continued all day, and the Commander of the Forces having intimated to me his acceptance of my pro posal to carry the ladders in case of an assault being made on the town and batteries, I told off four parties of sixty men each to accompany the four c•"lumns ordered for this service ; and Captain Peel having volunteered his services on this occasion, I placed them under his com mand, and I beg to enclose a list of the officers under him. I regret to say that the assault, which took place at three p.m., was not successful ; but our severe loss shows too plainly that the seamen and officers of the Naval Brigade did their duty most gallantly, and their ladders were at their places in spite of the most murder ous fire I have witnessed. Captain Peel led one party in the most gallant style, and Lieut. Cave led the other. The other two columns did not advance, and consequently the ladder parties, although exposed to a severe fire, as indeed was every one, did not suffer much. Captain Peel was shot through the arm, but was en abled to continue his duty until the affair was over. I have to regret as well that Lieutenants U mston, Cave, and Dalyell, Messrs. Parsons, mate,'auct'" iod, midship man, were all wounded. Lieut. Kidd and nine seamen were killed, and forty one seamen wounded, and one missing ; these men, I trust, will be got in to-night after dark. The party un der Lieut. Cave, with the loss of Lieut. Kidd and five seamen killed, Lieut. Cave and seven seamen wounded, equally performed the duty assigned. A heavy fire was kept up from our batteries with admirable precision, until the Commander-in-Chief ordered it to be slackened. I have also to report-the bursting of one of the 95 cwt 68 pounders,•which caused the death of f6ur men and wounded three. The enemy's line-of-battle ships did not fire, but the steamers did. I have the honour to return a list of cascalties for the last two days, and to inform you our sick list is 49, and all doing well. Every officer anal man engaged in this arduous ser vice has done his duty most gallantly, and I only await your permission to recommend those whose conduct I have particularly noticed.

Sir,—On our return from Kertcb, on the 15th ins+., Vice-Admiral Brnat and I were informed by the Com manders of the Land Forces that they intended to re open the fire of the batteries on the following morning, and on the 18th instant to make further approathes to wards Sebacitnpol, and endeavour to obtain possession of the enemy's positions of the Malakhoff and Redan, and their excellencies also informed us that they had weer tained that the nightly fire of our steamers had produced considerable effect. 2. On hearing this my colleague and I at once de termined to repeat the operation on the two ktervening nights, and, accordingly on the 16th inst., the steam frigates and sloops named (the Tribune, Captain Hon. J. R. Drummond ; Highflyer, Captain John Moore ; Terrible, Captain J. M'Cleverty ; Miranda, Captain E. M. Lyons ; Niger, Commander H. W. Hire ; Arrow, Lieutenant W. K. Jolliffe ; Viper. Lieutenant H. W. Comber; Snake, Lieutenant H. F. M'Killop ; Weser, Lieutenant J. E. Commerell), accompanied by several French steamers, discharged a heavy fire on the town and sea defences, whilst the Danube, Lieut. R. P. Ca tor, and the launches of the Royal Albert, under the command of Lieuts. George W. Watson and Edmund Wilmot, poured in a shower of rockets and happily without any casualty. 3. During the nigbt of the 17th ins*, the Princess Royal, and the steam-frigates sad sloops named (the Sidon ' Captain G. Goldsmith ; Highfiyer, Cap tain John Moore ; Miranda, Captain E. M. Lyons ; Viper, Lieutenant H. W. Comber ; Snake, Lieutenant H. F. M'Killop), and accompanied by a division of French steamers and the launches as before, renewed the firing, and on this occasion I am sorry to observe there was some loss, the Princess Royal having had one man killed and two wounded ; the Sidon, two men killed and eleven wounded ; and Captain Lyons, pf the Miranda, was so severely wounded in the leg by a shell that I have been obliged to send him to Therapia Hos pital. 4. Their lordships will readily believe that a strong desire prevailed throughout the fleet to go under fire, but as only one ship of the line could do so with advan tage, I thought it right that it should be the Princess Royal, commanded by Lord Clarence Paget, wbo, having planned the course with infinite zeal and ability, was naturally best acquainted with it. 5. Returns of the casualties are herewith transmitted. I am, &e., EDMUND LYONS, Rear-Admiral and Commander-in-Chief.

The previa was no trifling matter, and the deep ignorance exhiliiird that day would hardly induce the public to give credit to the police for haying conducted themselves prop rly during the occurrences of Sunday. ,He would prove, ea- Fording to his instfuctions, that the police had interfe red Improperly in the case of the boy now charged. fie would prove that what took place on the part of the people was not calculated to create terror, but that it • was owing to the insulting manner of the police, that any violence or disorder took place. No magistrate was ever placed in a more important position than the magis trate he t.va.s then addressing was at that moment. A great national calamity had occurred, owing to the i nproper exi rcis e of authority. It would be wise if tho;'e in power Profited by what had occurred and put an an d t, discontent by concession. The masses re quired iadub!ei2ce, the masses underwent great sacrifices and great harctsliips, a n d the least Government could do was t ) make allowance s f or excitement, and not to oppress them by interfering with their pleasures and. comforts. The struggles and the disorder that had oc curred were solely ()King to the stupidity of those who wished to int-rfere with the poor man's enjoyments. He was anxious for the well-being of the people, and that outrages should not occur, and he therefore asked the favourable attention of the Court to the cases about to be brought before it. There was hardly a person in Hyde Park on Sunday who had not either a friend or a relation shedding his blood elsewhere for their cou n t r y. It ought to be the duty o f th ose i n station and autho rity to conciliate that class, for it was by that class the country was principally protected and maintained. Th e present was not a time to make that class believe that the upper classes, for whom they suffered so much, were their enetritr. He wished those who assembled in . Hyde-park to understand clearly that neither the middle nor the upper classes were parties to the injuries inflict' on them. He believed in the upper ranks of society there was but one opinion entertained of the folly and the scandal of the proceedings that had called forth the recent public dertionatrations: He hoped the offence that .had occurred would be leniently dealt with. He hoped the youth at the bar would not be subjected to fine, or sent home to his friends and family disgraced. He hoped the Court would, by its wise d:ccision, let the people know that the law would be dispensed leniently and in a spirit of conciliation. The public peace would bo kept unbroken, and it would then be for our rulers to see the expediency of- withriraw:ng the ob noxious bill. Let the people feel that the poor man's errors were dealt with leniently ar d kindly, and he therefore addressed the magistrate on the bench —one of the oldest magistrates —a magistrate whom he had known for years and respected—he might even use a warmer term—and whose opinions on this matter he believed he knew—with the view of call ing his attention to the importance of so adenini -ter;nz the law that it should have a good effect not only on the defendants, but on the country. Mr. Hardwick said, he would adjourn his decision until more of the evidence was brought before him. If the case was a mere isolated case of stone throwing, he should not be disposed to deal with it otherwise than leniently ; but, if it turned out that the case was of a riotous character, it would require severe treatment. Mr. Clarkson said he was instructed by Mr. Reynolds, on the part of the Government, to say that all persons who had not been engaged in committing an act of vio lence, and now in custody, might be set at liberty. Mr. Ballantine thought that all parties might he re leased on their own recognisance to appear on a future day. Mr. Hardwick could not agree to that. Mr. Francis Henry Mair was then'put to the bar. From the evidence of A 370, it appeared that Mr. Mair was close to the railings at a time when the police were ordered to clear the people from them ; that Mr. Mair called out to the people tot t 3 go back ; that wit ness told him he was obeying orders ; that Mr. Mair replied " - your orders, I shall not go back ;" that a crowd was collecting about them, that he went round the railings to take Mr. Mair into custody ; that Mr. Mair put up his stick, that he struck the stick down, that he received a push from . the stick. that he took Mr. Mair into custody, and that Mr. Mair said to him he was sorry for having assaulted him, as he did not mean to do so. D.d not strike Mr. Mair with his truncheon. Constable A 337, heard Mr. Mair Fay be did not like to be mixed up with such a lot of " roughs," and that he was sorry he had assaulted the police. The defendant said that on Sunday, and repeated it to-day. Mr. Balla,utine said, the defendant was a highly respectable gentleman, a clerical agent, and editor of a periodical. He was elderly a•nd ailing, and had been treated with great brutality by the police. He should prove that the police rushed among the people with their truncheons, striking old and young, men, women, and children. He should, after the evidence, ask the Court to dismiss the charge, and to place the constables making it at the bar for per. jury. - A. gentleman named Bruce said he saw the defendant dragged away by several policemen. The defendant was doing nothing, and be believed saying nothing, though he was too far off to hear the defendant had he spoken. The police acted with the greatest brutality, sparing neither man, woman, nor child. Did not see the de fendant commit any assault. The defendant only held up his stick to guard himself from blows. Mr. Hay thought the police behaved very roughly. The defendant denied the assault and the admission of the assault to the police. Mr. Hardwick would only require the defendant to enter into his own recognisance. Mr. Ballantine wished to know if the charge against the policeman would be taken. Mr. Hardwick said, not then ; and, as it was past six o'clock, adjourned the proceedings till this day. THE EXCAVATIONS AT FOUNTAINS ABBEY. It will be remembered that the excavations at Foun tains Abbey terminated last year, a few feet down the north exterior wall of the nave of the church. The ope rations were resumed as soon as the winter of 1854.5 set in, and an extensive staff of workmen have been employed from November last up to the present time in clearing the whole of the soil (in many parts from 7 to 12 feet deep) from the north face of the base of the Abbey, viz :—the nave, the great tower and tran sept, the choir, and the nine altars' chapel. This has been one of the heaviest jobs yet accomplished. As was anticipated very few curiosities or relics have been discovered ; but the wonderfully fine effect gained must be seen to be appreciated ; and visitants now gaze in astonishment again and again on the immense im provement achieved, and marvel how the beautiful and natural slope from the Abbey to the rocks has been attained so beautiful, so natural, and so green has that space become which was so recently blurred with railway waggons, rails, picks, spades, and navvy-barrows. From the face of the rocks—whence the monks quarried the Stine for the building—a quan tity of rohbish has also been removed. By order of Lord de Gre-, too, an angle of the beautiful Galilee, or western porch of the nave, discovered in 1853-4, has been restored. The whole of the materials were tumbled in a heap, and so easily put together that his lordship considered that he was fully authorsed in venturing on this' slight restoration. The Galilee at fountains has been a very curious and interesting appendage to the nave ; and the present restoration is a good sample of this open arcade work, which the recent excavations ha , e proved has been somewhat ext nsively u-ed in and about the muna-tery. When the workmen reached the tower it was discovered that its foundatian was on a level two or three feet higher than that of the rest of the church. This tower—now known as the work of Abbot Ruby—was in building abut the year 1500 and after wards, and the soil that had been gradually accumu lating for the previous four hundred years around the base of the abbey church, was no doubt the cause of the hi.'her level being adopted. In taking out the earth from the east base of the Tower it was discovered that a building of the decorated period had f, senerly been at tached to the north face of the Norman transept. Its w th i e d t t h o w e r occupies betw e n e e n a tl s b t h u e t t F r e e s m s e e s e ; p aacnedaist haste se hadb ea a d t d h of o or to the east. It is built of that peculiar fine limestonetthe a found on the Markenfi e ld an d Mo r kar estates, and springers of the groini n g r ibs, yet r emaining the angles, show that it ha s b een of no great . height ; and that, if it has not been a low porch running breadth of the north transept, it may have been i n - in the whole a necessary appendage occasioned by . t_ti e ingwre great thehichit crease of chantry chapels in th was erected. A little examination Beneath sur face of the Tower floor would uldt e hr p o e w rlod more light on termination of the the subject, and also show whether Mr. Sh ar pe e conjectured plan of the Norman tran sept is or is not correct.

There are also some fragments of the Norman period very curious, and al most unique. In concluding this short notice of the year's excavations at Fountains, we cannot too highly praise the great liberality and spirit of the noble pro prietor, or the skill and energy displayed by his lord ship's agents in fully carrying out his wishes and instruc tions. The ignorant clods of the valley that daily pass the remains of this great work of great souls long since called to their final reward, and see "nowt bud an awd Habba'," may be insensible to the improvements created before their eyes, and acknowledge nothing but the visible and tangible benefit that arises from the extensive employ ment of labour; but there are hundreds of gallant hearts and gentle and refined spirits who will read this inadequate account with eager interest—many now far away in the powder-scorched and blood-stained fields of the Crimea ; many in happy homes in the great forests and by the giant streams of the far-west ; in the golden strewed land of Australia ; amidst the burning sands of Egypt ; under the waving palms and in the beauteous climes of the islands of the sea—many, we say, to whom the remembrance of a sight of the "mighty carcase of Fountains," "standing on its little green," is a pleasant, and a holy, and an ever-oherinhed picture.
