DESTRUCTION OF PETROPAULOVSKI. In a portion of our impression on Saturday we reported the destruction of the fortifications of Petropaulovski, the capital of Kamschatka, and the flight of its Russian garrison. The correspondent of the New York Journal of Commerce, writing on August Ist from San Francisco, where her Ma jesty's ship Monarch and several ships of the French Pacific fleet were at that date,. says The allied fleet, which sailed from the Sandwich Island in the spring to attack Petropaulovski, has returned to San Francisco. They found that the Russians had left Petropaulovski for the Amoor River. The allies destroyed the fortifications on the Bay of Avatseha, and after cruising in a vain search for the Russian frigates came to San Fran cisco. There are now at San Francisco the British ships Monarch, 84 guns, and President, 62 guns ; also the French ships La Forte, Eurydice, Alceste, and brig Obligado. Admiral Bruce and staff were on board the Pre sident, but designed transf6rring his flag to the Monarch, the flag ship of the squadron. The allied fleet, consisting of eight war vessels and steamers, arrived off Petropaulovsk i on the 15 th of May, but the garrison had already left for the Amoor River, in the Russian frigate Aurora, corve t te D win a , and two merchant vessels. The escape of the garri son was a master stroke on the part of the Russians, who availed themselves of a dense fog which set in on the night of the 17 th of A pril , and so eluded the English war steamer Encounter (screw), of 14 guns, and Baracontre (side-wheel), of 6 guns, which had been blockading the harbour for 50 days previous. The orders to evacuate were received from the Rus sian head-quarters in Siberia. On anchoring in the harbour a detachment was sent on shore by the com manders of the fleets—Rear -Admiral Bruce, of the English, and Rear-Admiral Fourichon (a newly-ap pointed and exceedingly energetic man, of only 45 years of age), of the French. They landed and found the town deserted, save by about 100 Kams chatka dogs, a French naturalised American, and two Americans, who raised the stars and stripes over their houses when the forces landed, claiming that, as the Russians had abandoned the place and left it to them, they were the possessors of the soil. These men are engaged in trading, and are repre sented as doing a good business. The dogs were in a starving condition, and followed the invaders about town for bits of biscuit. The following day after the arrival of the allies the destruction of the fortifications commenced. These were fascines constructed of immense logs—. the walls being 16 feet in thickness. Such was their strength, they resisted all efforts for sometime, and were finally razed to the ground by the agency of powder. It appears that the policy of the Russian Government had changed rather suddenly . in this matter. After the battle of last year orders came for strengthening the fort; and, though at that time such a resistance was made as to repel the assail ants, there being but one tier of guns, it was ordered to increase it to a double tier. The destroyers found embrasures for 51 guns of heavy calibre. We have been shown a despatch, dated in Petro paulovski, from Rear-Admiral Fourichon, of the French fleet, in which he states, after briefly reca pitulating the facts above enumerated, that the Rus sian garrison, numbering (as Le Journel informs us) some 1,200 men, had doubtless sailed for the mouth of the Amoor River, which drains the south por tion of Siberia, and flows into the Gulf of Saghalien, an arm of the Sea of Ochotsk. They left for this point on the 17th of April, and were doubtless there before the French and English arrived at Kam schatka. This river is regarded as the dividing line between China and Asiatic Russia, and at its mouth is a very strong series of fortifications, which have been greatly strengthened from time to time by the Russians. It is thought by some of the officers of the Obligado that the immense armament of Peti o paulovski was carried there with the garrison ; and, if this be true, there will be a western Sebas topol, which may puzzle the allies as much as has the stronghold of the Crimea. The report that Admiral Bruce had entered the harbour of New Archangel in the British steamer Brisk is confirmed. Whilst there he succeeded in effecting with the Russians an exchange of a few prisoners. Three Russians have been exchanged for one Englishman and one Frenchman, the latter being so severely wounded that he was not ex pected to recover. - Her Britannic Majesty's frigate Pique, Captain Nicholson, had sailed for the river Amoor, in Rus sian possessions in Asia, and thence for China. The British frigate Dido and steamer Brisk, were to touch at Vancouver's IslaMd, and thence to this port. - - The President captured at Awotska the Russian whale.bark Aina, stripped her, took from her, a quantity of oil, and then burned her. At Sitka, no American vessels were seen in port. The Port of Archangel has not been deserted by the Russians, and no hostile proceedings against the garrison were contemplated or attempted during the late visit of the allies to the coast of Sitka. The compact between the Russian and British Governments, whereby the Russian-Ameri can Company and the Hudson Bay Company were mutually to be exempt from an assault on land from either of the two belligerent powers, was completely respected by the allies. The object of their visit seems merely to have been to ascertain whether any naval force belonging to the Czar was to be found in that quarter ; and satisfied upon this point, the admirals did not think proper to exercise a right reserved in the compact—that of blockade. On arriving off the harbour, the allied ships did not enter, but the English and French admirals, with their suites, embarked on board the English steamer Brisk, and entered the port. They were waited upon by a boat from shore, containing the governor's secretary, who communicated the infor mation that, in accordance with the spirit of the treaty between England and their government, no preparations for defence had been deemed neces sary, and that none had been made. If the French admiral should think proper to assail the town, no resistance would be offered, and they could only ask that they be taken on board the men-of-war as prisoners, for if their defences against the hostile Indians were destroyed and the town burnt, the whole population—men, women, and children— would be at the mercy of the savages, who sur rounded the place in such numbers that their de struction would be inevitable. We believe an understanding of the best nature has always existed between the Russian and the English trading companies, and that in case of emergency, arising from any difficulty with the Indians, either on the main land or the islands, the one company holds itself in readiness to aid the other. Hence the pacific treaty which we have already referred to. The inhabitants of Sitka had an abundance, but as they had not for a long while hea r d f rom the nu merous trading posts on the adjacent islands, they were apprehensive that those who filled them were suffering. (Front the San Francisco Herald.) In the early part of last May the allied fleet, augmented by the arrival of other vessels o f war, appeared before the devoted town, and commenced preparations for the attack. When they approached sufficiently near to be able to discern objects o n the shore, they were greatly surprised to fi n d that the American flag had been substituted for the Russian, and that a most extraordinary stillness reigned around. On landing they foiled that the town had been deserted, and not a sin gle human being remained save two Yankees and a Frenchman who acted as their servant. From them they learned that orders had come from Siberia for the removal of the Russian troops to the garrison at the mouth of the Amoor River, and that the inhabitants had also fled to the village of Avatscha, some miles distant. Immediately after the desertion of the place the American flag was hoisted by the two Americans, who remained be hind, as a signal to the allied fleet, which it appears was expected. The town, after the desertion of the garrison and the inhabitants, presented of course a very lonely appearance. Packs of dogs scoured through the silent streets in search of food. The houses were all tenantless, and a solemn stillness reigned around. It appears that, on the repulse of the allies last fall, it was determined to strengthen the fortifications of the place, in order that they might be able to give them a warmer reception on their second appearance. Thefortificationswere composed of logs of wood, fascines and earth, about 15 feet in thickness, and the embrasures indicated the fact that no less than 51 guns were mounted, and these of the heaviest calibre ; but strange to say, not one of the guns, nor any of the ammuni tion and stores could be found by the allies when th ey arr i ve d there last May. They were either carried to the Amoor River, or buried. The pro bability is that they were disp os ed of in the latter way. The arsenals, magazines ) &c., which were principally frame buildings, were burned down by the allies, and all the property belonging to the Government which could be found was dest ro y e d. The s t ores an d pr i vate d we llings were, however, s crupulously respected. From the two Americans the allies learned the particulars of the exod us of the garrison and the inhabitants. It appears that on the receipt of the news of the defeat, on th e first att ac k, in England, the English screw-steamer Barracouta, 14 guns, and the steamer Encounter; 6 guns, were ordered from China to Petropaulovski to watch the movements there. c oast, about 60 miles frora Both lay off the the whole spring; b ut on eb _ etropaulov during ski el7tli April the whole garrison embarked -on- board the Aurora and the D w ina and A Merchantmen, and, taki ng with them all their acPrei and ammunition , s 1 4..;f0 r the TEE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, Amoor River. The movement was not perceived on board the English steamers in consequence of the thickness of the weather, occasioned by th e snow and fogs. The inhabitants all moved to the village of Avatscha, where the wife of the com mandant also remained, not being able to proceed with the troops in consequence of the d e li ca t e s t a t e of her health at that time. Before leaving the allies destroyed all the fortifications, and erected a fence around the graves of Admiral Price and the English and French who fell on that occasion, having been drawn into an ambuscade while marching upon one of the batteries by which the harbour was protected. It is difficult to divine what were thereasons of the Russians in abandoning the place. It was well fortified both by nature and art, and the result of the first attack showed that the place could be success f u lly d e f en d e d even against a larger f orce th an th e allies could muster in the Pacific. The Obligado, Captain De Rosencourt, left at Petropaulovski the British vessel of war Trinco malee, on board of which two Russian prisoners had been placed for the purpose of exchanging them for a French sailor who had both his arms cut off in the attack made on the place by the allies last fall, and was afterwards captured by the Russians. It is stated that he received the kindest treatment. The British frigates Pique and Amphitrite, after the destruction of the worki at Petropaulovski, sailed for the Ochotsk Sea, and the remainder of the fleet for Sitka. The English vessels will pro ceed to Vancouver's Island, and the French to this port. A portion of the fleet will remain at the north for the present, and will cruise around the Aleutian Islands. The French steamer Prony may be expected here in a few days. The population of Petropaulovski, previous to the arrival of the allied fleet, is estimated by. Capt. Rosencourt, of the Obligado, to whom we are indebted for the above information, to have been about 1,200. Capt. Rosencourt brought back with him as tro phies a sledge used by the inhabitants in travelling over the snow with dogs, an anchor found in Pe tropaulovski, a deer, and a Russian dog. The Obligado mounts 12 guns, 32 pounders, and two mountain hoWitzers, such as are used against the Indians in this country, and generally carried on the backs of mules. These were intended to be used on land, and all the vessels of the fleet were provided with them. The principal object of the visit of the allied fleet to Petropaulowski was to dismantle that place, and deprive the Russian men-of war and merchantmen of a shelter in case the allies should get in pursuit of them. Heretofore, there have been about sixty Russian merchantmen which met yearly at Petro paulovski, after having traded along the coasts of Northern Asia and America, on which latter coast the Russians have a number of trading posts. These vessels collect very valuable furs and walrus teeth, whalebone, some precious stones, and other less important articles of traffic—the total value of the merchandise collected annually being about 2,000,000 dollars. This trade was the life of the Russian American Company, and this year it has been entirely destroyed. The vessels have disappeared—taking shelter probably in small inlets of the sea in remote points. The allied fleets searched diligently among the Aleutian Islands, where the vessels are usually the most numerous, but not one was to be found. It is supposed that the allied squadron for the Chinese Seas, which went to visit the Amoor, will likewise visit Ivan, a port upon the Sea of Ochotsk, which next to Petrodaulovski was the most important Russian trading station on the Pacific. The following description of the town of Petro paulovski, from a work entitled the "Directory of the Pacific Ocean," by A. G. Findlay, may not prove uninteresting :—" The town of Petropaulov ski, which is now at the head of the harbour, stands m an amphitheatre on the slope of two hills, which form the valley, and is simply composed of a group of small wooden houses covered with reeds or dry grass, and surrounded by courts and gar dens with palisades. At the lower part of the town, in the bottom of the valley, is the church. It is remarkable for its fantastic construction, and for its roof, which, painted green, seems to add considerably to the effect of the picture, surrounded as it is with lofty mountains. Arrived at the bottom of the port, you land on a plank which holds the place of a mole, and pass directly before a guard-house, near which is a small battery. Turning to the left, down a good street, broad and macadamised, after passing the Govern ment workshops in the centre of Petropaulowski, and turning to the right after passing them, and crossing a wooden bridge, you pass the church on the right hand, and then you reach the Govern ment offices. These two streets are all that merit the name. The greater part of the houses outside ' of them are placed without any arrangement and without any attempt at convenience or comfort. The general appearance of Petropaulovski greatly resembles the French establishment at Newfound land. The appearance of the fish dryers' houses, and the stroeg smell of fish, give a greater degree to the similitude. The houses are generally alike and are called Isbas (log houses), the windows are sometimes of glass, but more generally of talc from Ochotsk. When La Perouse visited it the inhaT)i tants generally lived on balagnans ; now there is not a single one so used. There is not a monument in Petropaulovski except one, a simple column surmounted by a globe, surrounded by a railing, which bears an inscrip tion 'To Capt. Vitus Behring,' in Russian. No edifiee demands particular attention. In the church the rites of the Greek Church are conducted with great richness and solemnity. There is, besides, an hospital and a school."' THE CHANNEL ISLANDS AND THEIR NAVIGATION. The Channel Islands are surrounded with numerous rocks of every imaginable shape, size, and height, above and below the surface o f th e wa t er . They look like the jagged teeth of marine monsters, formed purposely fsr tearing ships to pieces. Between and around these rocks the tide forms currents, which flow in every direction, rendering the navigation as difficult and dangerous as that of any part of the world. This might be supposed from the numerous vessels lost annually on those rock., although often commanded by pilots and natives of the islands. So dangerous is the navigation near Guernsey and Jersey, that the mail steamers to and from Eng land never reach the Channel Islands by night, and always leave them by day. In -the daytime, how ever, mists, fogs, and snow storms, will often deter the commanders of mails from attempting to thread their way between the granite chevaux de friet . e that surround and guard the islands. Although when there is any wind the sea is fearfully rough in the neighbour hood of Jersey and Guernsey, the crews of the packets dislike a calm because of the mists which often then obscure the rocks ; and during fogs and storms all per sons on board feel grateful when the Caskets, Sisk, the Corbiere, or any other light, islet, or headland near Jere sey or Guernsey is made out. If the weather is thick, the captains of the mail packets are often obliged to come to , an anchor until it cleats off. It is curious that in the pas-age between the Needles and the islands, the routes taken by the packets vary from time to time as widely apart as twenty miles. This arises from the necessity of taking advantage of the currents, during different winds, and states of tide, for the sake of speed, and to avoid dangers. The most dangerous route is through the Race of Alderney, a narrow pas. sage close to that island. Much time is saved by pro ceeding through the race, but it is not often that it can be attempted. Although 600 or 700 passengers pass to ani from th e Ch annel Islands and England weekly by t in Goodridge thelong experienceofthewhichCaptains steamers,have had. They know the shape, position, every rock an d rocklet, whether e r g and ed water, that th ey have to p submerged they m o u r am above water, and know, a ls o , the strength an d direction ;the innumerable currents they have to encounter at every particular past of th e i r voyage. Some ti me since Captain Goodridgo was overtaken by a storm near the islands and the weather became at length so thick thate *vas oblied to come to an anchor. Ni g h t was coming up his mind for a long stay. Ey looking o i n n , tn and l he made him he fortunately made out th e dim outline e oft s t r h a e r o f nu sea n m d of the peak of one of the rocks w hi ch studded the eet around him, and by this he knew p rec i sely whereabs he was. In the course of the night th e storm and dark ness increased, and he heard cries of distress. sl e sent a boat's crew towards the spot whence the cries cam e , t o render assistance, and with much difficulty, for the boat was nearly swamped, brought off the captain and crew of a French vessel that was entangled among the rocks, and was bumping violently against them. The-French com mander, when he got on board Capt. Goodridge's ship, firmly believed his vessel bad by that time gone down ; but Captain Goodridge having ascertained that she was laden with brandy, and other floatable, but valuable, cargo, was convinced that she would not sink, and that when the tide ebbed, she would be found at a particular time in a certain direction, and resolved to go in search of her ; this intention, however, he kept to himself. Accordingly when that time was approaclatnz he ordered steam to be got up, and although it was pitch dark, he threaded his way cautiously for some considerable dis tance, when his look-out man eung out in alarm, " A rock ahead, sir." Captain Goodridge, however, did not heed him, and in a moment they were right along side the French brandy vessel, which the look-out man had mistaken for a rock. The surprise of the French captain may be imagined. When it was light, Captain Goodridge towed the abandoned vessel into Guernsey, and the Royal Court of that island awarded him 7501. salvage money.

( From the Times of this day.) In the address of Lord Stanley to the Manchester and Liverpool Agricultural Society it is easy to recognise the honest and painstaking young nobleman who went to the West Indies for the purpose of seeing with his own eyes the condition of the emancipated blacks and unprotected planters. He goes into the matter before him in proper businesslike style, stating what had been done, what is now in progress, and what, in his opinion, agriculturists have to look forward to. All this he does with a rigorous exactness and a degree of simplicity and candour very much contrasted with the more eloquent and seductive addresses that used to be heard at these meetings. There is evidently not the least desire to put the best leg foremost, to avoid disagreeable topics and unpleasant allusions. This has been done so often that even the soft and credulous nature of the British farmer must be proof against it. But if there ever was a time when the truth ought to be spoken to the sen sitive agriculturist it is the present, when the war, which is every day straitening most other classes more and more, sustains the price of food at a height far above all ordinary calculations of profit. If there is anybody in these days who ought to be laying by for bad times, it is the British farmer ; and as he lays by his money, so also ought he to store up good advice. So Lord Stanley's address is a word in season. He advises the farmers of Lan cashire to omit no opportunity of improvement, not to grudge the trifling expense of a guinea sub-Tription to the society, to look about for the very best implements, to enter into any arrangements that may be made for showing the use of them where the smallness of the holding will not allow of the purchase, to prepare for two or three farms being thrown into one for the sake of better husbandry, to cultivate every acre that is not wholly irreclaimable, to look for the guano nearer home if it can be procured, and, in a word, to follow the ex ample of other arts and sciences, all of them ever on the move. It is a specimen of Lord Stanley's other advice, and of a plea with his own honesty, that he advises the farmer to answer any questions that may be put to him with a view to the collection of agricultural statistic:. It has been intimated to him that our farmers wou'd not like to let their landlords know exactly how much they expect to get from their lands, while others think it a piece of impertinence in the State to ask any questions about a man's private affairs. The extreme seclusion in which many farmers live, tho importance they enjoy in their own little domain, and their general ignorance of politics may excuse this objection. But they ought to be informed that all other classes submit in more than one way to the prying eyes of the St ite, The manu facturers is inspected at every turn. Besides that the nation knows to a pound the quantity of cotton wool imported every year ; it also knows to a yard, and a pennywortb, the quantity of manufactured cotton goods that leave the island. The manufacturer is bound to make returns of the ages of his younger operatives, to emplo; them only in such and such hours, to provide for the youngest schools open to inspectors, and, to pass over other minute inquiries to which he is subject, he may be called on to lay all his books open to the Com missioners of Incen e tax. Se the farmers are under a considerable m:stake if they think that they are the caly people whose di ire toe State pry int'. But, after all, it is the farmer who is especially intteet:d in the collec tion of trustworthy agricultural stet' .tics, as nobody suffers so much by the present want of them. He sells his crop in the dark, and is generally taken in. Such is the tone of the advice Lord Stanley gives to the farmer, and it deserves to be well received. Undoubtedly some of these suggestions are very dig agreeable, and Lerd S anley does not take much pains to sweeten them. For example, the hint about the small scale of the Lanca-hire holdings will be set down by mans- people as not only unkind, but very unpoeti cal. We believe that many very excellent persons think that th smaller the farm the greater the content, the virtue, and even the prosperity of the occupier, till perhaps they would put their ideal of a per fect farm at four acres or thereabouts. Of course it cannot be denied that small farms are more tolerable in a dairy district, such as that round the large towns of Lancashire ; but, under all circumstances, they are chiefly remarkable for slovenliness, irregularity, help lessness, and all that is usually comprised in the idsa, of had condition. The small farmer has not enough time, or money, or skill for any one pursuit. Everything, therefore, goes wrong about him. He cannot afford to pay labourers regularly or well ; he cannot afford good ■ rrvants ; he cannot afford that cheerful, abundant, yet emnomical home which is the best school of rural vir ;nee. The Burial farmer is generally a very poor crea t'ire, a very ignorant creature', and often a very dissolute creature, from the, ircumstauce of his riot having either the hard teaching., of extreme poverty, the chains of ser vice, or the responsibility aid self-re.spect of a better con dition. There is no class of life in which domestic rela ti,,llS of an equivocal charact rso widely prevail as in that 'esti ill farmers. There is none in which education is so little valued. There is none FO inaccessible to the higher influences of a civiti•edc ountry. Some may be sorry to see it altogether destroyed, tett it pmdeces little mere than picturesque farm, tumbl -d yen walls, dilapidated eutheuses, gates tha' have c e reed to swing, fences chat have ceased to interfere with the movements of cattle, bridges that are no longer safe, and ditches that no longer favour the flow of water. If you want hedges Vat assume the luxuriance of thickets and harbour every variety of British bird—if you want fields favourable for botanising, cet , tages that would adorn any album and cattle that a Morland would naturally pto sketch, and, finally, boors that a 'renters r a Wilkie w mid make a memo randum of. yogi will fi ti hem in the sm t 1 farms of the dairy distric's, which send out penniless a ye threes, l ut whose occuoit rs are still more wretched flan those ho e sent net, We are quite sure that no landlord need ever fr t himself for the supposed wrongs of those who have been to look out for themselves by the union of small farms in !arger on The process is the greatest benefi.; to the country, to the leboerrr, and, we ere satisfied, to the small farmers (hems lees. Lord S , anley deserves onr thanks fel. recorrenendin 4 the process as a public benefit in define i f the prejudices of those wile take a picturesque view of the question. On the other hard—a ,d it is a eery fair set-off against this suggestion—Lord Stanley contends for the liberty of selling land on the part o tae 1 1.11:1,,wcr. Settlements an 1 the technicalities of teenveyas ce m eke it morally im possible in this country for a landowner to do what he likes with his own. There are many situations out of the category of common farming in which a landowner might sell very ordinary land at 100/. an acre, if he could do it at all or at the expense of 51. an acre for the conveyance. No rayon can be given why this should net be permitted. We hive heard of a case where a town which bad been intoler ably dissolute and ill-conditioned in all respects dated a very startling improvement from the time u hen a new landowner, who had nearly all the property around it, opened a market, so to speak, for the sale of his land But there are many other occasions in which a landowner waets to sell h:s land, and cannot do it, even when there is no contrary interest in question, As Lord Stanley says, he does not want an Encumbered Estates Act, but if property is to become more and more involved every year, we shall be driven to some such r , source before many wars. Already a great deal of land and other property of a high estimated value is quite as worthless to its owners as if it were in another planet or had been swallowed up in the sea. Without falling into any ex treme and fantastic theory about the soil, we must say tbat it is the duty of the State to promote, by all lawful means, its conversion to the largest profit and the greatest variety of uses. The whole population has an interest in it, not only that it may be made to produce the greate-t quantity of food, and contribute most to the national wealth, but also that it may be made the means of the utmost enjoyment to all, 'There are very few men who can ever attain to the occupation of land, still fewer who can hope for the pride of,potesession ; but the soil may be made the means of increased wealth, happi ness. and even security to all, and he is indeed a great benefactor to his - country who shows how this may be done, and himself leads the way. A VERY MYSTERIOITS CASE.—At the bench of magis trates, on Monday (present—the Mayor, A. Bigge, and IN/lontaeu Scott, Eqrs.), a female who gave her name Sophia Baker, asked the advice of the Bench under the following very extraordinary circumstances :—The app' - cant stated that she went with a female friend into the shop of Mr. Walky, East-street, oall4cl "Ye House of Lud," for the purpose of purchasing a silk dress. An assistant met them at the door, and politely bowed them in. After looking at certain articles, which did not suit her, she was about to leave, when the assistant, being de termined that she should be a customer, politely handed her to another part of the shop, and showed her other goods, and ultimately p reva il e d u p on h er t o h ave a p i ece of silk cut off for a dress, the price being 22, , . She took out her parse, expecting to find in it two half--ova reigns, knowing that she had carefully placed them there before she went into the shop ; but, to her utter astonishment, she found the purse, which she had fastened with a clasp, open, one of the half sovereigns gone, and the other loose in her pocket. Having expressed her great surprise at the circumstance, she said that she could not pay for the dress ; but the assistant said it was cut off, and she must have it. The friend of the applicant threatened to send for a police? man ; and a considerable sensation was produced in the shop searching for the missing half-sovereign. At length Mr. Walley offered to take what money she had for the dress ; and if on her return she found the half sovereign, she was to return it to him, but if not, she might keep th e d ress. Appl i cant took, the dress ; and then came to the Bench. The . chief officer of police ob served that this was not the first time persons had com plained of having their pockets picked in that shop. eTrz sent sta nees for; wereand, on making hi a s n a d pp m ea r r . - a M e r ce, Wa th li e ey Walley said, rather than have any disturbance he n , - had d, lowed the appli cant to take the dress away for the half applicant'sthreatened f t r e ie n e d a , l s l i a n i d a p i t e l w i e a e s . n g a n it e r l‘ t i h r a s t sh eßee o] leer tillre man, that applicant was allowed to take the dress away for half a sovereign, Mr. Bigge said it did not appear to be a case in which the magistrates could grant a warrant ; but it was a very suspicious affair. Mr. Scott said the worst part of the case was that Mr. Walley should have reduced the price of the dress 60 per cent. when a policeman was talked of. This appeared to him to compromise the matter, and create great suspicion. Not only did it seem to corn promise , the case, but it also compromised th e c h aracter of the establishment. If Mr. Walley liked, he might bring forward his men to clear his shop from th a t suspi cion which the statements of applicant and her friend were calculated to excite.. Mr. Walley declined to d o. . do so, preferring to let the matter rest where it. was.— BriJlaon Gazette. Naval and Military Intelligence. The Bloodhound, 3, from reidle-wheel steam-vessel, Commander Lieutenant Ethelred W. Bridge, arrived at Sheerness on Saturday. Second Lieutenant George M. Smith, of the Waterloo, was ordeiel to proceed with her in charge pro tent, to Portsmouth, i■ consequence of her commander being; under arrest, awaiting a court martial on a serious charge, for which he will be tried at Portsmouth. She left on Saturday afternoon fur that port. The Castor, 36-gun frigate, left Sheerness on Saturday last at 7.30 a.m., assisted by the steam•vessel Lizard, Lieut. Thomas B. Christopher in charge pro tent from the flagship Waterloo. The Lizard was under orders to attend her to Portsmouth if the wind proved unfavour able. She will there receive her final orders for the Cape of Good H.pe. The Neptune, 120, Capt. Hutton, St. George, 120, Capt. Eyres, C. 8., the Malacca, 17, Capt. Farquhar, and the Rosamond, 6, Commander Crofton, are ordered immediately to Lisbon, the two latter steam-vessels in attendance upon the sailing three-deckers. The Neptune and Rosamond left Spithead yesterday afternoon, and the St. George and Malacca will leave this day. The squadron goes to pay homage to the King of Portugal on his coming to the throne on the 16th inst. (Sunday next), and to assist in inaugurating that event. The Sanspareil, 71, steam-ship, Capt. Williams, which is to proceed to the Black Sea to-day with mortars and muni tions of war, is also ord red to put in at Lisbon with the same object. These orders were communicated to the several captains and commanders at Portsmouth on Saturday by Rear Admiral the Right Hon. Sir M. F. F. Berkeley, K.C.8., M.P., who arrived from the Ad miralty that afternoons.

BATH, Saturday.—This morning the young man, Thomas Tutton, who is suspected of having administered repeated doses of arsenic to his father, Mr. Chas. Tutton, an auctioneer, and a member of the Bath Town Council, .was brought up fir his first examination up tin the charge of attempted murder. A large crowd bad assembled around the Central Police Station, and upon the pri soner being removed in a fly, they followed him to the County Magistrates' Office, where the examination was taken—Mr. Tutton's residence being just beyond the limits of the borough. The court was crowded. The prisoner, who is about 24 years of age, is well known in this city for his very "fast" habits, and on being placed at the bar he manifested no concern for his position ; but appeared to treat the proceedings with the greatest coolness. He took copious notes of the evidence. Sarah Warner, the servant of Mr. Tutton, sen., de tailed at great length the facts of the case. A solicitor, Mr. Wilson, had been retained by the prisoner's friends, but ho declined his services, and pro ceeded to cross examine the witness at great length. Mr. Charles A. Harris, the surgeon who attended Mr. Tutton, was next examined, and proved that the illness of his patient had been occasioned by arsenic. James Ryan, a detective officer of the Dublin police, deposed :—Between 4 and 5 o'clock on Wednesday, the sth inst., the prisoner came to the detective office, Lower Castle-yard, Dublin. I was not present at the time, but was sent for, and a newspaper was handed to me by Mr. Superintendent O'Neil, containing some particulars of au attempt to poison Mr. Charles Tutton, and of the absence of his son. After I had read a few words, the prisoner said, "I am the person who is referred to in that. I will write a letter ti the Times newspaper this morning denying the whole facts of the case." I then obtained the Police Gazette, anti found his description in it. I asked, "Is your name Tutton ?" and he replied, " Yes ; Thomas." I told him lie was described under the head of " Wilful Murder ;" and he then asked me it his father was dead. I said, "I believe not." " Oh, well," said he, "when I get the other side I'll make all that right." I then searched him, and found on him one halfpenny and two keys, and a portion of a letter which he said was a copy of the one he had sent to the Times. I telegraphed to the chief officer of the police at Bath, and received an auswer to bring him over. On board the boat, on the way over from Kingston to Holyhead, the prisoner said, " I shall not be heard before the magistrates when the case is being tried ?" I told him I had nor doubt the magistrates would hear what he had to say. He then said, "If you say nothing against me on this case, you shall be well treated in Bath." I told him anything I had to ,ay I hhould give it in evidence, let it be for or against him. Cross-examined by the prisoner --You were not drunk when you were on board. I could say nothing against you beyond what I have now stated. I had not seen the case in the Police Gazette at that time. You did not nay that you had written to the Times, but I do not re c'illect your saying that you had written home, and that you had surrendered yourself immediately you saw it in the paper. There was a torn copy of a letter on your per and you said it was a copy of your letter to the Times. Mr Hughes then applied for a remand till next Satur day, when he said he should be prepared to complete the ca,e. After a short consultation, the magistrates re , solved to adjourn the further examination until Satin'. day next. HOP INTELLIGENCE. MAIDSTONE.—Picking has commenced. The duty is considered to he overrated at 300,0001. BARMlNG.—Picking ha:. commenced here. We shall realise a good crop, and of fair qu ,lity. There is a little mould in some grounds. BRENcaLEr.Picking commenced in this parish on Saturday, the Ist instant. We are quite safe for an abundance. CRANBROOK.—The wind has blown from the north and east with considerable violence, and the hops have not made that progress towards perfection which might have been expected—in fact, they have done but little since our last report. Some of our growe:s have put the bin in their plantations of Goldings, and so far they "comedown well." The duty will undoubtedly be high, but we should not feel surprised if the duty is found to be over-rated. There is a spread of red rust or mould observable in some grounds, which may operate mate rially in diminution of duty, as hops so attacked will not attain perfection. LOOSE.—Going on very well ; picking will be pretty general next week. MARDEL—The prospect, on the whole, is less favour able ; in some grounds the bine looks very yellow, and in others the hops have been injured by the wind. OTHAIL—The winds of the past week have blown the hops about considerably, particularly in exposed situa tions, bruising them, and damaging the colour. The weight will be diminished, and the quantity lessened. We have a little mould in some of the Golding planta tions. Picking commenced on Friday laq„ and will be general by the beginning of next week. TONBRIDGE.—The hops in this parish are arriving at maturity, and are considered to be free from disease, and full of condition. Picking will commence in a few days, i rICETIURST. —Picking has commenced in this parish, but will not he genetal until next week. The quality appears to equal our expPetAtions. WATERINGBURY.—Our hops looked magnificently tip to within the last fortnight ; hut, owing to the windy weather we have lately had, they have received consi derable damage. WROTHASI (LOWER DIVISION OF.)—The hop planta tig\us in this district still maintain the same character with respect to beauty and profußion. YALDING AND WEST FARLEIGH —The weather during the rist week has been cold arid windy, and the 'reps have huff Ted from it ; many are much bruised, and the cold has checked the backward hops (such as Colegates) in their growth. The dry and cdd weather is prema turely hastening the plant towards maturity ; and must injure the quality, and lessen the quantity. We shall, however, grow many good hops where they came .out early. Picking has begun, but to no extent. Mould has not decreased; and red is added to white.—Maid stone Journal. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. TATTERSALL'S-SATURDAT.
