SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIO JOURNALS. .rtzpm.: the Time:s of this ,day. ) As the military events of the present campaign become more and more unfaviiurable to the - forces of the Russian empire the Cabinet of St. Petersburg redoubles its efforts to avert by diplomatic means the consequences of its de feat, and to dissolve -as. far as possible that formidable coalition of the other power's of Europe which was called into existence by the violence of its measures and the arrogance of its demands. Upon the first outbreak of this quarrel, which ardse'from the Menschikoff mission, followed by the invasion of thl Principalities, there was b'ut one voice in Europe to condemn that scandalous and wantOmviolitioa of the public Peace and of the rights of a weaker power. The publication of the conversations between the Emperor Nicholas and • Sir Hamilton Seymour, demonstrated that the Czar thought that the time was come for the dissolution of the Turkish and that he only required the connivance of England to undertake-and accomplish, this enter prise. ' France he &fled, Atria he spoke of as ab splutely subject to his will, Prussia he did not speak of at all. The result of these decl a r a ti ons a nd of the events which followed them was, that the policy of Rus sia was solemnly condemned by every Cabinet in Europe —even Prussia and the minor states of Germany entered into certain engagements adverse to her ulterior progress; Austria armed, and concluded treaties with the bellige rents ; and, if the States of Central Europe had energe tically combined with the,. Western Powers at that time, the war would have been prevented, and the objects of this•strnagle obtained without a breach of the general peace. Russia, however, we freely confess, was more at home than we are in the Mazes of German diplomacy. She knew and relied upon the inherent wea,kneo.4o,llat body, ever divided against itself the Germanic [ Confederation ; she employed every resource of per sonal. influence. and official corruptien to stifle in the hearts of German S'wereigns and the heads of German Ministers the impulses of patriotism and the voice of honour ;, she treated Germany exactly as Louis XIV. had treated it when he was preparing his great aggres sion on the liberties of Europe—by suborning one part of the nation, by caressing another, and by intimidating the whole. The result has rewarded her exertions. Russia has not, been able-to protect her own territories from invasion:to meet her enemies on the field of battle, to show her flag on the seas, or to save her trade from deAtruction ; but in Germany, at least, she exer cises an ascendancy she is not secure of at home, and in substance she has succeeded in obtaining from that na- tion the . " friendly neutrality" which she solicited in vain at the outset of the war.. To keep alive this species of influence over the timid and the time-serving governments of that country, she endeavours to make it appear by the plausible modera tion of her language that the continuance of the war is solely attributable to the unreasonable violence of the Western Powers. This is the evident purpose of the answer published by the Journal of St. Petersburg of the 12th of June to Count Walewski's circular on the termination of the Vienha Conferences. To understate or to misstate the causes and objects of the war, to ex aggerate the concessions already made by Russia, and to suppress entirely the most important practical de mands of the Western Powers, are expedients which can only impose on those who are very superficially ac quainted with the nature of this controversy. Nor is it more reasonable to suppose that France and England are carrying on war at a great cost of treasure and of life for no conceivable purpose than it is to assert that Rus sia had made enormous preparations for the overthrow of the Ottoman empire without the slightest intention of ever using them for that object. There is, in fact, as much difference between the language of Russia when she is seeking to dupe a powerful adversary or to inti midate a weak one as there was between the treatment of Lieutenant Royer and the prisoners of the Tiger and that of Lieutenant Geneste and the seamen of the Cos sack. In the one case no disguise is too gross to con ceal hostility under the mask of politeness ; in the other the most sacred usages of civilisation are violated with the ferocity of a barbarous enemy. It would not be worth while Co make this observation if it applied only to the state of public opinion in this country. for here the acts of Russia speak so much more loudly than her diplomatic papersibat, with the excep tion of Mr. Gladstone and his perverts, we suppose no one is in much danger of being imposed upon. But it is otherwise abroad, where the enslaved and degraded con dition of the press renders it more easy to circulate and accredit these official fallacies: The press of Germany is notoriously and almost universally under the control of the Governments, and, instead of leading public opi nion, it obeys the mandates of the police. The subjec tion of the press of France to the absolute control of the Government has given a spurious importance to the daily papers of Belgium, which ace conducted without the slightest political ability or independence, and are generally distinguished' by a stupid hostility to this country. The truth is, that Russia has throughout the war made Belgium the head-quarters of her agents in -Western Europe ; she procures arms and machinery from Liege. and, under the disguise of a semi-indepert dance, the Belgian press is cordially devoted to her in terest. These means of influence are sedulously em ployed by Russia for the purpose of turning the public opinion .of Europe against her adversaries, if not in favour of herself. Nor does she scruple to use the most direct misrepresentation for this purpose ; as, for example, the recent fiction circulated by M. de Seniavin, that England had relinquished and retracted the concessions made to neutrals at the outset of the war ; and the attempt to show that the Vienna Conferences were ended by the ill-will of the Western Powers. We know not what effect these statements may pro duce on a certain portion of society on the continent of Europe, but they can have none on the policy of the bel ligerent Powers. Those Powers have not obtained from Germany the intelligent support they at one time hoped to receive ; but in exchange they are wholly liberated from every species of obligation to consult the views and interests of those states. This war is essentially a mari time war, for the basis of our operations is the sea, and our command of the sea not only determines our whole policy, but relieves us from every question which a continental war might raise between the belli gerents and the other continental Powers. So long as the war retains this character those Powers can neither assist nor hinder its progress, and while we look with undiminished confidence for the sympathy of foreign nations, who view with alarm and indignation the servi lity of their rulers to Russian ascendancy, we are compa ratively indifferent to the views which may be entertained at Berlin, at Frankfort, or at Vienna, since they are powerless from the moment they cease to be in our fa vour. As far as operations of war are concerned, the recent events in the Sea of Azoff must have satisfied the most incredulous of the irresistible power exercised by the States which have applied steam on a large scale to their naval forces. We have not, therefore, the slightest reason to apprehend that any of the German States will expose their coast and their trade to squadrons of steam gun-boats more formidable and moi e swift than the inva sion of an army. Those States are at least as much paralysed by sea as by land, and, while they continue to carry on the idle formalities of diplomatic correspondence, they will some day !earn that the results of the vrar have been decided by means entirely independent of their own control. of war, it is not unreasonable to discuss probabilities, and, doing so, we are not disposed to consider tha tenure of the Crimea by the enemy to be worth a very long pur chase. Our troops have much in their favour. The course df recent events has tended to excite their ardour and encourage their spirits, while a direCtly contrary effect has, in all probability, been wrought upon the Russian forde. Nothing 86' demoralises - an army as a growiiig belief that the' stars •fight against them—that the course of events seems turned, by some fixed law, in favour of their enemies.' It is not one defeat, nor two, nor half-a-dozen, that will prodUce this effect ; but a succession of unfortunate battles—a constant series of reverses will and must eventuate in an im pression favourable neither to physical energy nor moral courage. The calamities of Russia have been both severe and continuous. - Their never-to-be forgottenteverses on the Danube hive been:followed by equally signal defeats and losses in the Crimea. To have been at war for two years, and never to have gained a victory ;- to have been invaded by an army which could not and would not be driven into. the sea ; to have' been beaten iu three great encounters on its own soil.; to have been compelled, in self-defence, to destroy its own fleet ; to have seen the flower of its army either slain upon. the field,-or killed in hospital. by the severities of winter ; to have lost its Emperor when events seemed at their crisis ; to have had every southern'source of supply cut off ; to have lost the depots , where its stores and munitions were laid up against the day of necessity; to have its own lake scoured by the gun-boats of Eng land and France ; to have its trade crippled in every department ; to be compelled, to replenish its army by a conscription of unparalleled rigour ; to have the staple of its wealth everywhere injured and decaying.; if these' be not. calculated to inspire, both iu the army and , through all Russia, a fearful misgiving that fliers is a ,moral defect in their cause, an unseen arm fighting against them, and a .weakness in their effort which is . . inherent iv wrong -=then there is -no such thing in con , science, and moral convictions are an empty deceit. We have yet to learn more detailed tidings of the most recent operations of the fleet. We kdow what its lead ing object is—to hem * the Russian army within the Crimea, and to cut off all supplies., But what it has done since the destruction of Anapa we have not heard. Most likely an attack upon Sebastopol by sea forms a 'part of their work ; for, in the event of an as ' cult, it would be most desirable to maintain a diversion sea ward which should keep the gunners at their post. But, however this may be, experience has proved that, so far as Sir Edmund Lyons has any discre tionary power 2 he will not be idle, and that the honour of our naval flag is perfectly safe in his keeping. The concurrence of these three independent operations—the bombardment of Sebastopol—the field movements of the army, and the operations of the fleet, will, we' are fully persuaded, result in a definite and appreciable limitation of Russian preponderance in the Black Sea. We shall be masters of: the Crimea, the Black Sea, and the Sea of Azoff; and distant though these places be from the capital of the Russian empire, they 'are amongst the richest sources of its wealth, and the most vulnerable of its national well-being. To have these in our power will he a vast gain to our cause, and may probably make the good folks at St. Petersburg think more respectfully of our conditions of peace than they did a short while ago. If not, it will then be for the Allied Governments to determine where they will strike next. RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. CHESTER AND HOLYHEAD. It appears that the negotiations between the com mittee of shareholders and directors of this company and the directors of the London and North-Western Com pany, with respect to arrangements for promoting the interests of the Chester and Holyhead Railway. Com pany, have been postponed until the decision of Parlia ment has been obtained upon the bill for improved com munications between England and Ireland. The bill has passed the House of Commons, and is now before the House tif Lords. SOIJTII WALES. The arrangements for the further opening of this com pany's line from its present terminus at Haverfordwest to Neyland are completed, and the 20th of August is fixed for the opening. Mr. Brunel has recently inspected this portion of the line throughout, and has decided upon the site for the terminus at Neyland, which will be at the end of the yard beyond the Royal William, at a point where the water is sufficiently deep for the largest steamer to come up to the pier. When the line is opened to Neyland (Milford Haven) a large American and Irish traffic is anticipated. There are now only two new bridges to be finished between Haverfordwest and Ney land, and the line is to be ballasted for a considerable portion of the distance. PARLIAMENTARY COMMITTEE ON RAILWAY BILLS. PORTSMOUTH. Mr. COBBETT reported from the committee on this bill that the new works, power to construct which is sought by the bill, are to be executed by any existing company out of funds which they are at present authorised to raise. The length of the deviation line of railway is five miles 7i chains, and the steepest gradient is 1 in SO. The estimated cost of the railway is 43,0001., and the quanty of land required 62 acres. Mr. E rrin g ton was the engineer examined in support of the bill. The com mittee are satisfied of the fitness, in an engineering point of view, of the proposed railway. RAILWAY TRAFFIC RETURNS.

This attractive exhibition came off yesterday. The day was beautifully fine, without being uncomfortably warm, and we believe the visltorsto Chis wick have seldom gone away more pleased and interested. The bands of the Grenadiers, Coldstream, and Ist Life Guards, were in the grounds, and delighted the company with their best performances. Among those present we observed the Duke and Duchess of Northumberland, the Duchess of Sutherland and party, the Marchioness of Hastings, the Prince and Princess Doria, the Countess of Macclesfield, the Earl and Countess of Bradford, the Earl of Scar borough, the Earl of Tlche-ter ' the Bishop of London, the Bishop of Winchest er, Lady Grenville, Sir Philip and Lady Egerton, Lord and Lady John Russell, Lady Win. Fitzroy, Lady Cooke, Lady Charles Wellesley, Lady Charlotte Dennison, Sir Charles Lemon, Bart., M.P., Sir John Ramsden, Sir J. W. Guise, Bart., W. Tatton Egerton, Esq., &c. The plants were ii beautiful condition. The orchids again were abundant, and of first-rate excellence. The geraniums, a large portion of which occupied half of a long stage, were dazzling. Other groups of them were, with excellent taste, disposed amongst collections of less flowery plants and those exhibited for beauty and elegance of form and foliage. The attention paid to this latter class of objects is a new feature in these exhibi tions. Various fine collection of ornamental and varie s gated plants were contributed. The delicious fragrance of the roses in pots and their excellence of cultivation stamped them as one of the most important features of the exhibition, and in the same tent were some extensive collections of cut rhododen drons, always favourites in any shape. The stove and greenhouse plants were what is tech nic illy termed " well done," Sir John Cathcart's collec tions being pre-eminent. The collection of Sir E. An trobus, Bart., of Coles Childe, Esq., and of the Messrs. Fraser,' had also some beautiful and striking objects. For several seasons we have noticed with regret the falling off in the exhibitions of heaths, both in quantity and quality, and were gratified to find that a revival of their ancient excellence is taking place. In novelties Messrs. Veitch sent a seedling rhododen dron named " Princess Royal," beautiful and chaste, of a delicate pink colour, almost a distinct species, the flowers in shape almost like those of the Stephanotis. The garden was in excellent order, the turf and walks dry and comfortable, the clumps very gay, and the con servatory showily furnished with the usual plants proper ' to the season. The fruit, of which there was a most interesting dis play, was arranged round a circular stage, backed up by plants with ornamental foliage and vines in pots. The latter were very interesting, some of them being in pairs trained into arches, so as to allow the bunches to hang down naturally as they grow. LANCASHIRE MANUFACTURERS AND MR. L. HORNER. On Saturday a deputation from the factory masters of this county had an interview with Sir G. Grey, Bart., at the Home-ofice, to present a memorial, praying for the removal of Mr. L. Horner from the office of factory in spector for this district. The memorial which was nume rously signed, was based upon the excessive number of informations laid by Mr. Horner, as compared with those by inspectors in other districts, a great proportion of the excess being alleged to be uncalled for and vexatious. The following figures, we believe, show the number of factories at present under inspection in each district, with the number of informations laid by each inspector since the commencement of the system of inspection in 1836, as gathered from 34 of the 36 published report:-- Mr. Horner Mr. Howell .

THE ARMY WORKS CORPS. Of all the auxiliary influences drawn from civil life with which it has thus far been attempted to supplement the force of our arms in the East the new corps which, under the above title, is about to take its departure for the Crimea promises to be one of the most important. This will at once be clearly understood when it is re membered that the sufferings of our troops during the past winter were mainly due to the fact tbat their strength was overtasked and broke down under the severity of the physical labour - imposed upon them. They bad more to do than they could accomplish, not as soldiers, but as workmen ; and, though other causes aggravated the evil, and precipitated its disastrous con sequences, there can be no doubt that they perished in such numbers chiefly from overwork. Under these cir cumstances it was natural that the Government at home should cast about for the means of lightening, as far as possible, the weight of labour thus liable to press at any moment so fatally upon the vital energies of the army. It was evident, putting higher feelings aside, that having, at much cost and great expenditure of time, trained men for fighting., it was very bad and wasteful management to use up this costly material in a way which it never was intended for, and for which, consequently, it was quite unfit. "Everyone to his trade" is so entirely a common-sense maxim that it seems wonderful how we in this country, who ,tarry out on such an extended scale the principle of the subdivi sion of labour, should ever allow it to be overlooked. It may be true that the ranks of the army are mainly re cruited from the agricultural districts, but the soldier has his expertness in handling the spade and pickaxe soon drilled out of him ; and when he is set to use them in the trenches he can neither do the amount of work nor with the ease which those trained by daily habits of labour possess. This observation holds true not only of the men of the Line, but of the corps of Sappers also ; for, though much employed on special duties belonging rather to civil than to military life, they have long celsed to pOssess that peculiar aptitude for physical toil which is acquired by those whose bread depends upon their being our " hewers of wood and drawers of water." Thus it arises that a want exists in the organisation of the army, rendered terribly apparent by the occurrences of last winter. • After such sufferings no ono could deny that it was desirable, as far as practicable, to re serve the soldier for fighting ; to husband his strengh and health, his discipline, his professional training, and his courage for that single but important object ; to re lieve him of every duty calculated to impair his efficiency in that respect ; and, above all, to take off his shoulders the, burden of unaccustomed labour with implements which he has forgotten how to handle and probably enlisted to escape the drudgery of wielding. In look ing around to ascertain how this was to be accomplished, the attention of the Government could hardly fail of be ing directed to that remarkable class of men called "navvies," of whom there are computed to be in this country at least 250,000. Of these it is calculated that 150,000 have no home or settled habitation—no pro perty except their labour, the implements with which it is carried on,' and as much wearing apparel as will go into a very small bundle. Yet, though to a certain extent a nomadic race, the campaigners of civil life, and having hardly " a stake in the hedge," they have their own peculiar organisation and discipline ; they perform an incredible amount of work ; under judi cious treatment they are not difficult to manage, and, notwithstanding the bouts of drunkenness in which they periodically indulge, they are on the whole as peace able and loyal as they are useful subjects of the realm. The first experiment which was made in getting the as sistance of these powerful and hardy men to the actual operations of the war was in the construction of the railway from Balaklava to the camp. Eneouraged by the entire success which attended that experiment, the Government have now advanced a step further, and established what in official language is called "the Army Works Corps." It is 1,000 strong at present, but will probably be increased if found to answer the objects for which it has been formed. There are 800 "navvies" orga nised into gangs of 25, 70 carpenters and smiths, and 65 artificers, including in thatterm shoemakers, tailors, hare nessmakers, barbers, and other special crafts. The staff consists of a chief officer, Mr. Doyne, who is a civil en gineer of high promise ; a superintendent of works, Mr. Pope, who has participated in some of the most remark able undertakings that have been executed in this country ; six assistant-superintendents, all tried men ; a superintendent of stores and Commissariat supplies, a secretary, - paymaster, chaplain, two surgeons, and a dresser ; an assistant-storekeeper, five clerks, 11 fore men, and two gangers. These officers have all been selected with the greatest care, and will, we have no doubt, fully justify the important trust confided to them. Tbe.corps strictly preserves its civil character, having no uniform, being engaged. during the continuance of the war as for any ordinary joh, entitled to neither pension nor honours, and not expected or bound to take any share whatever in the fighting. The men, however, have not' 'hesitated to engage to work under fire ; they consent to place themselves under the provisions of the Mutiny - Act, and while they are under the su preme andl absolute directors of Mr. Doyne, he takes his orders from Sir Harry Jones and Lord Raglan. None of the subordinate authorities of the army, except the bead of the Royal Engineers, will be entitled to exercise control over the corps, and in his case it must be done through the chief. For their com missariat the navvies' will depend upon the general arrangements of the army, but they in' great measure provide their own means of transport, relying upon Colonel M‘Murdo's department only for the carriage of such stores as do not belong to them when in light marching order. The duties which they will have to discharge may, perhaps, best be described under the rather vague term of making themselves "generally useful ; " but any one who has seen an army on active service will at once understand how much that means. To those who have not it may be sufficient to specify as among the objects of the corps the formation of siege or fieldworks, the construction of bridges, the making and repairing roads, building huts, erecting and striking tents, draining and cleansing the sites of encampments, sinking wells, digging grave pits, mending damaged materials of all kinds, and, in fact, doing a multitude of " odd jobs," the inability to attend to which is one of the chief causes why in military operatons in the field there is such a waste of things indispensable to the effi ciency and success of troops. It is unnecessary to point out how valuable may be the assistance thus ren dered, how greatly it may be made to contribute to the comfort and welfare of the soldier, and how exactly it supplies one of the wants in the organisation of the army which the winter's campaign so painfully demon strated. Proceeding now to the equipment of the new corps, there is a good deal therein which is worthy of special notice. The means of shelter and of cooking, the clothing and land transport provided, are all excellent, and the greatest care, inventive skill, and forethought have been exercised in making them as perfect as possible. It was justly considered a matter of primary importance to ob tain tents of such . improved construction, and so fitted internally as to afford substantial guaranteesfor the health of the men. Accordingly, for each gang of 25 a tent of the bell shape, . but three or four times larger than that used by the Ordnance, has been supplied. The top is furnished with an umbrella ventilator of metal, which can be raised or lowered at pleasure, and will secure a good and wholesome atmosphere at all times to the inmates. It was found that Cooke, the equestrian, in travelligg through the country, after having triekl every, kind of, .material for his tents, gave a de cided preference 'to cotton over canvass, and in'aceord• ante sv,qh his experience :the former : is, used It has the advantages of being light of carriage, easily 'repaired, drying quickly, and not liable to rot ; but en the ether hand, a sinalacovering of it is rather too thin to exclude the rays of a ,southern sun, and the tents of the Turkish army, which ar:s made of it, are double lined throughout. The tent • pole is' of metal tabing,'in pieceS, and so ar ranged as to form the chimney to the cooking stove if desired, or otherwisks to assist in the ventilation. Round the interior are rangeki in a circle 25 very lightly framed bedsteadei of angle iron, which lift the men off the damp ground, fold up in the siniplest manner, and are s 6 con trived that the sacking at one end, by giving it a slight elevation, forms a comfortable pillow. They each weigh only 191 b., yet they have am i nle strength to bear the burly, stalwart fellows Who are to s.'eep on them. It will give some idea of the spacious char. icter of the tents when we state that, with the bedsteads in their places, a clear space of 18ft. diameter is left,Un'occupied in the centre. Instead of• the ordinary peg fasten ings, galvanised iron screws are employed; and at the bolt mn of each gore, to compensate for the shrinking of the canvas in wet weather, expanding indiarubher springs are introduced. Perhaps, in •practice, • for .the rough use .ef navvies in a campaign, this tent may not prove so servict , able as is ex pected ; but oft:linty it is a great improvemen t upon any thing of the kind that we have ever seen, and with all its appurtenances and, fittings complete, weighs on;v 8 cwt. 241 h. • As long as our soldiers have so little training in the use of tentmat borne, it will lie; iniposaible to i ns vre to them during a campaign that comfortable and effeketual shelter which is so essential to their health. But v‘ith some attention to this vitally important matter; the style of tent supplied to the new corps .makes it clear that we need not go on for ever adding immeasurably to the in evitable mortality of warfare by packing on the damp ground under one miserable little canvass extinguisher some 14 or 15 human beings, who, when sickness appears among theni, by an inevitable law at once make it en demic. The cooking-stove sent out with each gang is so arranged as to burn any kind of fuel and boil or steam for a mess of 30 at least. Every navvy takes out with him in a bag a well selected kit, adapted both for warm , weather and cold, and not too bulky, . nor containing a single superfluous article. With respect to the land trans port arrangements of the corps, they present several im pel-tent improvements upon ordinary military practice. • Light one-horse carts are made, weighing only 6 cwt. 41h., with the shafts, by a clever device, converted into strong yet excellent springs, and the whole balanced as to render the draught as easy as possible for the animal. These o , rts seems admirebly adapted for the purpose which they are intended to serve, and might advanta geously he used as a pattern for the general land tran som* ervice of the army. They would make at a p'rieli very fair ambulances, and, contrasted with the lumber ing, springless waggons of the French equipage militaire, their superiority is in every way conspicuous. Mr. Doyne, we predict, will have many a covetous glance directed at them when they reach the Crimea. Every gang will have a cart, which, when loaded with tent, bedsteads, stove, and all appurtenances, will not weigh more than 14i cwt —a very moderate load to draw. Such are the leading features in the equipment of the new corps which this week takes its departure for the East in ships provided with every suitable arrangement. for the comfort of the men by W. S. Lindsay and Co. The care and, skill with which the corps has been or ganised, and the many improvements introduced in its equipment, are entirely due to Sir Joseph Paxton, who was the first to call attention to the valuable aid which might thus be rendered to the army, and who was in trusted by Lord Panmure with the task which he has thus ably executed. It is only right to say that he has given his time and talents to the formation and fitting out of the corps gratuitously ; that he has diligently sought out the best men that Could be had for the work, and, if the expectations entertained of the under taking are not realised, it will not have been for want of personal exertion and solicitude on his part. The diffi culties to be encountered are those of professional jeal ousy, for officers in the army are not favourable to the intervention of civilians, however indirect*, in military affairs, and one or two hitches which have taken place in the starting of this corps lead one to infer that it is not looked upon very approvingly by those in command in the East. Here, however, as in other instances, they will probably find it advisable to pocket their prejudices, and give the corps a fair trial. If atter that it fails, the country has at least the satisfaction of knowing that a suitable effort has been made to supply a great want in the organisation of the army, disclosed by a winter of terrible suffering and mortality among the ranks of our heroic soldiers. Lord Pantnure went down to Sydenham at an early hour yesterday morning to satisfy himself by a personal inspection that the organisation and equipment of the corps were complete. In the grounds of the Crystal Palace he examined every detail of the arrangements, and had the Staff presented to him by Sir Joseph Pax ton, and addressed successively to them and to such of the navvies as were present on the occasion a few well chosen words of encouragement and advice. His lord ship expressed great confidence in the success of the undertaking, which he had closely at heart, and in which he considered his reputation as Minister of War to be involved. He seemed entirely satisfied with the result of his inspection, and both men and officers were highly gratified by his •isit. (Front the Morning Post of this day.) For the third time the Allies have opened fire upon Sebastopol, and now with greater advantages and chances of success than ever. The whole of the Rus sian outworks are in our possession. The guns of the enemy are, in some cases, turned against their masters, and a direct attack is being made upon the actual for tifications, the strength of his position. Taking into calculation the nearness to which our batteries have been pushed forwards, and the immense power of ordnance that will be brought to bear upon the walls, it is quite possible that by this time a considerable breach has been effected. The Allies were in excellent condition and spirits, burning to be led to the assault, and in suffi cient numbers to justify the gratification of their im petuosity, should a breach be made. The destruction of the Mamelon, and the damage already done to the Gar den Battery, justify the expectation that a breach is far more practicable now than at any previous period since the siege began. On the other hand, it is certain that, at no time since the memorable night that followed the battle of Alma, have the Russians been less capable of a strong resistance at Sebastopol. Our men are elated with recent successes. Theirs have never gained a vic. tory. Till lately the garrison has been tolerably sure of supplies, now it can calculate on no more than are al ready within its walls. The Crimea is virtually closed to the Russians, it is everywhere open to us. The gar rison is now dependent entirely upon its own resources. Whatever it has in the way of men, stores, and ammu nition, with them it must fight its battle and stand its ground. No help of any consequence can be looked for from without, for to this point the attention of the Allies is keenly directed, and woe betide anything short of a large army that should show itself within reach of our legions on the Tchernaya. That the gar rison will sell its existence as dearly as possible is only too certain. Whatever facility the inhabitants of Anapa, Taganrog, Genitchi, and Yenikale may have offered to our forces by a timely evacuation of their quarters, the like will not happen at Sebastopol, so that, under the best circumstances, the conflict will be obstinate and bloody on both sides. But of the termination we can not allow ourselves to doubt. It is now a point of hon ourfessed skill of with England and France to take Sebastopol, and taken, therefore, it must be. The obstinacy of the lenemy,en ;l the excel ntnheeryunndfohuibstebdombbraavrderieyrso,fthheis troops,confessed his riflemen, and the strength of his fastnesses may en hance our difficulty, and cost us many lives, but there is no retreat from the position we have taken until the allied banners float over every fort in the city. While this bombardment is going on, a large army is preparing or rather is prepared, for field operations. It is quite certain that before very long an engagement with the main body of the Russian army must be come to, if only to complete the isolation of Sebastopol. For this purpose we have an army equal to that of the enemy, besides that engaged before the city, and the Turks have a secure lodgment at Eupatoria, in little danger of disturbance, and with some troops to spare. Impossible as it ever must be to forecast the fortunes I PRICE SD. THE THEATRES IN PARIS. PARIS, June 18.—Verdi has given his long-promised work at the Grand Opera—" Les Wpres Siciliennes." As I have not been able to get a seat up to the present moment I am unable to offer any criticism. The French journals pretty nearly all agree that the libretto is a bad one, although from the extensive manufactory of M. Scribe. One critic says :—" In a very brief preface prefixed to the libretto, in which, anticipating the observations which his unwarrantable liberties with his torical facts are certain to call forth, he thinks fit to treat the "Vespro Siciliano' as mere invention, and hence claims the privilege of dressing up the story asa facon." As re gards the music, every one also agrees on one point —it is not equal to the " Trovatore," which had so much success in Paris last winter. I will give you a report of the " Vdpres"as soon as I am able to do so. An English company is playing at the Italian Opera. house, under the direction of Mr. Wallack, who is the chief tragedian of the troupe. The season opened with " Macbeth." There is also a small ballet company, re presented by Mr. Marshall and Miss Rosina Wright. The magnificent performance of Madame Ristori in the tragedy of "Mirra" (gays the dramatic critic of Galignani), has sufficed to fill the theatre at each representation. Her acting is a school at which the greatest of our tragedians may take a lesson: Mademoiselle Rachel, who most unexpectelly appeared at the Francais, a few nights since, in " Les Ho races," in honour of the anniversary of Corneille—having seen the gifted Italian lady in the character above men tioned—acted Camille with more power and grandeur than she bad ever done before. So much for the glo rious spirit of emulation. Madame Ristori was in the theatre, and was enchanted with her performance. One of the journals states that Madlle. Rachel did not remain to see Madame Ristori in the last act of " Mirra." This is incredible. We prefer believing the report in another paper, that she went from her box to the stage,.after the conclusion of the fourth act, to congratulate her sister artiste on her triumph in Paris, and to offer to perform on the night appointed for her benefit. This, if true, is worthy of the genius of Rachel. METROPOLITAN COMMISSION OF SEWERS.—Yesterday, a special court of sewers was held at the Court-horse, Greek-street, Soho, Mr. Jebb in the chair, for the pur pose of allowing deficiencies and, compositions on dis trict rates, hearing appeals and summonses, receiving presentments of nuisances, and to make the necessary orders for the constructing, of gullies and repairing of sewers, &c., but no point of interest arose deserving of a report.

Mr. LEWIN moved that the Court of Directors do take the earliest measures to remedy, as far as it is now pos sible, the evils which resulted from a breach of faith on the part of the Madras Government with the sepoys of the 6th Light Cavalry; and that they do report to this Court the measures' they have adopted for that purpose.

The complaint against the present system was general. The Pasha of Egypt could send his goods to India without the intervention of agents, and be saw no reason why the British merchant shotild not be able to do so also, considering the facility which the , railways in I n di a would afford for the transmission. of goods, and the bri ng i ng . of thought that anythin g that operated urcahsasaer in more immediat e connection with one. another.

Hr. LEWIN said that, in reference to this subject, a petition had been transmitted to this country from India, ,signed by 13,000 native British subjects, coinplaining of the injustice done them in regard to the examinations r6cluired of persons previously to holding civil service in Inlia, and praying that the whole management might be 'eptt rated from the East India Company and placed under the secretary of State, subject to the control of Parlia ment. , The Court then adjourned. - EXAVINERS OF THE CANDIDATES FOR Tll.-Ta' CIVIL SERVICE OF INDIA.

OXFORD, June 20.—The co nversazione in the Rad cliffe Library last night was attended by large numbers of the leading resident and non-resident members of the university. At 1.1: o'clock there was an exhibition 01 the electric light on the side of the dome of the Library, looking towards St. Mary's Chur c h, w hi c h a t trac t e d t h ousands of spectators. This was followed by a splendid display of fireworks, by Darby—the best ever seen in Oxford. The grand Masonic ball at the Town-hall was attended by a distinguished company numbering upwards of 600. Dancing was prolonged to a late hour. This morning the annual enccenia, or commemoration of founders and benefactors to the university, took place in the Sheldonian Theatre, every part of which was well filled. The upper gallery was crowded with undergra duates, and the usual outbursts of health and spirits evinced themselves. The name of the Queen was re ceived with a shout as loud and as hearty as we ever beard. On the arrival of the Chancellor (Lord Derby) accom panied by the Vice-Chancellor, Heads of Houses, &c., the Convocation was opened. A Decree received the ap proval of the House, accepting from' the Earl of Stan. hope (who has, during the last term, undertaken the office of Senior Examiner in the Law and Modern History Schools) an'annual donation of 201., during his life and bequeathed at his death, for the purpose of founding a prize, for the best composition on a modern history subject. The Chancellor then read over the names of the distinguished individuals on whom it was proposed to confer the honorary degree of Doctor of Civil Law, and as each name was mentioned more or less cheering followed. The 'following were the names as put seriatim for the approval of the house: —The Hon. Jas. Buchanan, Minis ter of the United States • Le Comt e D e M onto J embert, a member of the French :4..cademy ; Sir John Beverley Robinson, Bart., Chief Justice of Upper Canada, and Chancellor of Trinity College, Toronto ; Lieut.-General Sir John Fox Burgoyne, G.C.B. ; Lieut.-General Sir De Lacy Evans, K.C.B. ; Sir William Gore Ouseley, K.C.8.; Sir Charles Lyell, Knt., F.R.S., M.A., Exeter; Richard Monckton Milnes, Esq., M.P.; Colonel Sabine, F.R.S., of the Engineers ; Thos. Graham, Esq., F.R.S., Master of the Mint ; the Rev. Humphrey Lloyd, D.D., Trinity College, Dublin ; Philip Bury Duncan, Esq., MA., late F a llow of New College ; the Rev. Frederick Willirm Hope, MA., F.R.S., Ch. Ch .; Alf re d Ten n son, Esq., Poet Laureate ; George Gabriel Stokes, M.A., . F.R.S., iLucasian Professor, and Fellow of Pembroke College, Cambridge ; John Couch Adams, M.A., F.R.S., Fellow of Pembroke College, Cambridge; John Muir, Esq. There was scarcely a dissentient voice, but as the veterans Burgoyne and De Lacy Evans mounted the platform to take their seats as Doctors, they were greeted with the most vociferous and enthusiastic applause, which lasted several minutes. The reception of the poet laureate, Alfred Tennyson, Esq., was scarcely less enthusiastic. The annual Crewian oration waq then delivered by Mr. Mitchell, the public orator, after which the prize composi. tions were recited, and during the - recital were loudly cheered. The Newdigate prize, " The mosque rising in the place of the temple," received the greatest applause. At its conclusion the Chancellor dissolved the convoca tion. LAYING THE FOUNDATION STONE OF THE NEW Mu- ISEIIM.—The ceremony of laying the foundation stone of the new Museum took place at half-past two o'clock. After the formalities usual on such occasions, the Earl of Derby, in a short but appropriate speech, mentioned the objects which had led the University to found the new museum, viz., the increasing demand for knowledge of the natural sciences and those studies which were so so indispensable to the rising generation, which enabled them to form an estimate, though comparatively small, of the omnipotence, omniscience, and omnipresence of God. Much as the University had expended upon the building of this vast work, viz., 30,0001., still that sum had nothing to do with furnishing and decorating the interior, which - must be left to the contribution of private individuals.. The intention of the University was to have the pillars along the corridor to give instruction to those who studied geology. In the interior of the building would be pedestals fur statues of men who had spent the whole of their lives for the ad vancement of science and the development of those theories which had been first surmised by ancient philo sophers. But the company were to bear in mind that this project could be only accomplished by individual donations. It was with great pleasure that he (the Earl of Derby) bad to communicate that the Queen, in her care and participation in the feelings of the Univer sity, had, from her own purse, contributed five of those they it,goodthatinwork prayermore.hoped t hadno ills commencedow o uld b a this that years the architect might have the p leasure of beholding a building whi c h, f or magnificence o f design for n. .and no venience, could not be surpassed, reared in sight of those old towers which fill them with rev for their pious benefactors. The compan y •erence r then dispersed, after singi ng the National Anthem.
