The Successful Results of the last half -century have proved beyond question that ROWLANDS' MACASSAR OIL possesses poCullarly nourishing powers in t he g rowth, restora tion, and improvement of the Human Hair, and is now universally ackno tvledged to be the Cheapest, and superior to all other prepara tions for the Hair. It prevents it from falling off or turning grey, strengthens weak flair, cleanses It from scurf and dandriff, and makes it be ,utitully soft, curly, and glossy. Its operation in cases of Baldness is peculiarly active; and in the growth of the Beard, Whis kers, Eyebrows, and Mustachios, it is unfailling in its stimulative operation.

Michell, M.D., member for D , dmin, said in his place in Parliament on the Vaccination Bill the following :—" lie was opposed to it (compulsory vaccination) on constitutional grounds, as no parents ought to be compelled to have their children vaccinated. He denied that vaccination was any pre ventive of small .pox, and affirm d that it was often the cause of blindness and scrofula." On the 7th May, 1855, Mr. Brady, also a doctor, and member for Leitrim, sail that " many cases had cone within his own knowledge inwhich children had imbibed loathsome and even mortal diseases from having been Inoculated from unhealthy persons." This gentle man, however, said that if doctors were better paid this would net occur. As to that, we leave the public to form their own judgment. But here we have the only two doctors in Parliament clearly pro &aiming the dangers of vaccination. With respect to ourselves, we can h we but one motive in the prosecution of inquiry, viz , to ascer tain the truth. We are constantly receiving articles from most honourable and enlightened persons on this question, one of which appears in the " Hygeist and Medical Reformer" for this month, and to which we earnestly call the attention of the public. We may as well state that this declaration of Mr. Ptrady's was made on the vote for 2,0001. towards the national vaccine establishment, 7th May, 1855. . _ We are, sir, your most obedient servants, THE MEMBERS OF THE BRITISH COLLEGE OF HEALTH, New-road, London.

VIESSRS. BEADEL and SONS have received instructions to sELL by AUCTION, at the Mart, on TUESDAY, July tO, at 12, in one lot, file highly valuable and im portant FREEHOLD ESTATE, known as BOLD H tLL, including a noble and handsome mansion, with offices, gardens, and pleasure grounds, commanding extensive views of the surrounding scenery, and seated in a park of rich land, ornamented with thriving woods, encircled with belts of plantations, 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, Meat House, and Barrow Hall, with superior newly-erected homesteads, and about 30 other valuable farms, with suitable farm buildings, and numerous small occupations and cot ages. The man sion, park, and Old Hall 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 5,4001. he tenants pay all outgoings on the farms. The woodlands are tithe free, and the outgoings paid by the landlord are consequently very small. The estate abounds with game, and is situate in the town ships of Bold and Burtonwood, in the parishes of Prescot and War rington. ' The greater part of the estate lies compactly within a ring fence, being bounded on the south by the grand road from London to Liverpool. on the west by the St. Helen's and Runcorn Gap Railway. and it abuts north on the Liverpool and Manchester Railway. It is. well intersected by good hard roads, and the mansion is shout one mile from the St. Helen's Junction Station, taus affording easy com munication to all parts of the kingdom. Particulars, with plans, may be had of Messrs. Rowson and Cross, solicitors, Prescot ; of Mr. Ban nerman, land agent, Chorley; aid of Messrs. Beadel and Sons, 25, Gresham-street. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. ASCOT-HEATH FACES—TRunsniv. The prestige and popularity of the Cup,Day Are fully sustained. The absence of the Queen and Prince Albert did not, apparently, exercise a diminishing influence on the attendance of a general company ; a larger and gayer throng has seldom been seen at Ascot. The only noticeable shortcomings which the attend ance presented in comparison with that in 'former years was, perhaps, with regard to the number and description of vehicles ; but the falling off in this respect is attri butable solely to the travelling facilities afforded by the Great Western and the South-Western railway com panies. . A long and refreshing rain fell early in the morning As the day advanced the sun shone with summer bril liancy, but its power was most pleasantly tempered by a gently fanning breeze. The Cup, the chief feature of attraction, occasioned a most interesting race. Six started for it, but nearly all the betting was engrossed by three, and when "the ring" broke up the three wer e pretty equal'favourites. Virago, about whom many doubts had been entertained and certain ill-omened reports circulated to the effect of her being "a roarer," was su dd enly raised into high favour ; the remembrance of her achievements last year being evidently sufficient to command for her a power ful body of supporters. The race is fully described be low. Fandango was the win ner , an d his success elicited prolonged and hearty cheers. His noble owner, Lord Zetland, is a most popular patron of the turf, and all classes appeared to be delighted with the triumph his horse had achieved. The cup was manufactured at the establishment of Messrs. Garrard, from a design and model by Mr. W. Spencer. The New Stakes brought out nine competitors, and were won by the favourite Milton. Altogether the racing to-day was inferior in quantity and quality to that of the previous day, but it was characterised by incidents sufficiently interesting and exciting- to sustain the curiosity of the spectators. The following list of fashionables who were present is not made up according to any Antahlished_ order of pre cedency, but as opportunity enabled us to jot down their names.

After descending the Swinley-hill, Virago lay at Rataplan's quarters, and on approaching the Brick-kiln Farm she obtained the lead, the others lying well up. Virago maintained the lead to the half distance, where she dropped off, and Rataplan again bore his colours in the van, with Fandango in close pursuit. At the stand the latter headed Rataplan, but only for two or three strides, and the shout then was, "The old 'tin wins." When opposite the Queen's Stand, however, Fandango came again with a most opposite effort, and at last achieved the victory by three-quarters of a length.

The Rosamond, 6, paddle steam-sloop, Commander Crofton, arrived at Spithead yesterday afternoon from Sheerness, with two new mortar boats in tow, which she takes on to the Black Sea in a day or two. The Centaur, 6, paddle-frigate, Captain Clifford; has been resupplied with coal, and her defects attended to by artificers sent off to her from Portsmouth dockyard. She is reported to leave to-day on particular service. IBER. APPOINTMENTS. Second Master—D. J. May, to theVolage. Assistant•Clerks—Thomas Elliott, to the Duke of Wellington ; C. F.

Her Majesty's new yacht, Captain the Hon. Joseph Denman, got steam up again on Wednesday at Ports mouth, and worked her machinery, which acted per fectly. She will open the new dock, commenced some years since by Mr. Peter Rolt, M.P., and completed by Mr. Edmund Smith, C.E., on Tuesday next, by going in tn be coppered, as it is not intended to try her speed -untitibat operation is performed. A pair of new moor ings;44ye been laid down off Osborne for her Majesty's new steam-yacht, and those used by the old yacht re- Alloyed. THE TRANSPORT SERVICE. The steam-transport Esk, No. 143, arrived at Spit head yesterday afternoon from the East, in ballast, bring ing only two distressed British subjects. She left Bala klava, May 5 ; Constantinople on the 14th ; and Malta on the 22d ; and encountered strong head gales on the passage. - The Germania, steam transport, landed her sick and wounded invalids at Portsmouth dockyard on Wed nesday morning, whence they were marched And car ried to sick quarters. She left yesterday for Ply mouth. THE ANNE MACLEAN.—A letter from before Sebas topol of the 22d ult., published in the Times of Tuesday, gives currency to a report that the Anne Maclean had gone down in the Black Sea, with all hands. As such report, 'if uneontradicted, must cause the utmost pain and alarm to the friends of those on board of that ves sel, we cheeilully give publicity to the fact that the owners have letters from the master at Constantinople, dated 18th of May, on which day the vessel sailed for Smyrna, where she arrived on the 25th, as reported in the Skipping Gazette, consequently the rumour of her loss, in the Black Sea must be destitute of foundation. MILITARY. Yesterday the route for the removal of the detach ment of the 94th Regiment of Foot, quartered in the Tower, to join the head-quarters of the regiment in Sheet-street Barracks, Windsor, was received. A. detach ment of the Household Brigade will this day take the duties at the Royal Mint, and the various guards in the fortress. The depot of the 46th Foot is expected to arrive to-morrow at the Tower, when the detachment will pro ceed to Windsor. The company of the 94th Foot doing duty at Aldershott camp has been recalled to head-quar ters, the regiment being under orders to proceed to Ports mouth early next week to embark for Gibraltar. The let battalion of the Grenadier Guards will be relieved in the Tower by the 2d battalion of Coldstream Guards. The following officers are under orders for embarkation in the Oneida, steam transport, which was expected at Liverpool yesterday from Greenock :—Lieutenant- Colonel Strutton, 77th Regiment ; Lieutenant Croker, 77th ; Lieutenant-Colonel the Hon. H. Handcock, 97th Regiment, wife, and servant ; Major Heyman, Turkish Irregular Cava'ry ; Captain Forrest ; Lieutenants M`Donald, Mackasy, Durant, Allen, M`l'sl:air, Crawford, Gleather, M'Murdo, of the 79th ; Lieutenant Brine, Royal Engineers ; Dr. Leslie ; Messrs. Scott, Morton, and Ford, veterinary surgeons. From Liverpool 32 naval volunteers wera despatched to head-quarters yesterday evening. THE MILITIA. A general inspection of the City of London Royal Regiment of Militia will take place on Monday next in the ground of the Hon. the Artillery Company, Fins• bury, when the whole of the officers and men under the command of Colonel Wilson, alderman, will be under arms. Several military officers of high rank and the members of the Artillery Company sill be present on the occasion. The inspection, which is preliminary to the departure of the regiment for the camp at Aldershott, is expected to take place at noon. The Oxfordshire Regiment of Militia, at Portsmouth, and the Mornnouthshire, at Pembroke, are under orders for ernthrk,rtion ; the first-named regiment proceeds to the lonian Islands, apd the Monmouttishtfe tcttlbratrar: The Royal Radnor Rifles have been inspect.d at Pres teign by the officer commanding the South Wales dis trict. After the regiment had gone through a variety of manoeuvres the inspecting officer expressed his entire satisfaction at the appearance and steadiness of the men under arms, and informed them that he should report to the Commander-in-Chief that the regiment was fit to occupy a position with the line. This regiment has long since obtained its establishment, and been obliged to de cline enlisting many eligible recruits who have offered their services to the country. It has not one absentee, and only seven men have claimed their discharge after 56 days' training: PRACTICAL JOCKING. The following letter from the Horse Guards has been published : To General Lord Seaton, Commanding the Forces in Ireland. "My Lord,—There being two lieutenancies in the 30th Regiment about to be filled up, I am directed by the gene ral commanding to state that, adverting to the gross mis conduct of Ensigns Sanders and Neville, of that regiment, in the case which was brought under his notice in March last, Lord Harding() could not think of recommending those officers to her Majesty foi promotion on this occa sion, and they will accordingly be passad over by the next officers. Lord Hardinge, therefore, requests that your lordship will be good enough to desire Major-General Man set to cause this decision to be communicated to Ensigns Sanders and Neville by th e commanding officer of the - Pro visional Battalion at Fermoy; and those officers may also be informed that, until their conduct may have been fa vourably reported upon for at least two successive quar ters, they need not look for any promotion. But, as it is not just that the other Ensigns junior to them should suffer for their misconduct, these will successively pass over them whenever vacant. Lieutenancies may be filled up in the regiment till the period of probation as above laid down shall have expired. I am further to add, that it is his lordship's determination to take this course in every similar case that may not appear to require a still more severe proceeding.—l have, &c., "C. YORKE.

The piles compos ing the staging are 90 feet in length, and are all "pickled," and rendered impervious to wet by the creo sote being forced into the timber by means of immense steam pressure ; 10 pounds of this pickle is forced into the wood at every square foot ; the blocks of timber are thus rendered 10 pounds per square foot heavier than before the operation. The stone is now deposited at the rate of 10,000 tons per week, about 560 men being em ployed at this gigantic undertaking. There is no doubt, when this harbour of refuge is completed, that it will vie with any in the British Channel. THE SEA OF AZOFF. As it is not probable that we shall soon abandon our easy conquest of the Sea of Azoff, any informa tion relating to these waters must be interesting. We extract the following passage from a French worVpablished in 1854, entitled Guide Maritime et Strategique dans la Mer Noire, la Mer d'Azog; et sur /e Theatre de la Guerre en Orient, by M. Coreard, and which is looked upon as in great measure an authority on the subject of which it treats : "The Sea of Azoff is 90 miles in length, from the Straits of Kertch to the point of Bieloserai, at the en trance of the Gulf of the Don. The gulf itself is 76 miles, making a total of 166. From the extremity of the Tonka on the west, to Beislitskoi on the East, it is 142 miles wide, so that its width is nearly equal to its length. The northern shore of the sea is from 26 to 40 metres high, with hills here and there and red cliffs. It is formed of tongues of sand of considerable extent, and bordered with banks on all the promontories, where, yielding to the influence of the current of the Don, they are curved towards the west. The eastern shore of the Sea of Azoff is inhabited by the Cossacks of the Black Sea. From Temruk it is low, often sandy, and inter sected by lagunes and marshes. It has numerous sand banks,particularly in the Gulf of the Don,and they incline to the west like those on the opposite coast. The Tonka, known also by the name of 'the Tongue of Arabat,' a sort of elongated peninsula, narrow and low, forms the western side of the sea, which it separates from the Sivash, the Sea of Mud or Putrid Sea, an immense lagune into which some rivers of the Crimea empty themselves. The Sea of Azoff is bounded on the south by the Crimea and the Isle of Taman. Those two countries present to the na vigator on this coast small hills or landmarks from Cape Kazandibl to Temruk. At present (1854) the greatest depth of the Sea of Azoff is 44 feet, between the Straits of Kertch and the point of Bieloserai. It is only 26 fee not far from the entrance of the Gulf of the Lion, and from 8 to 10 feet in the roadstead of Taganrog, in the same gulf. It has been observed that since the com mencement of the last century, from the year :I 706 to 1808, the depth of the Sea of Azoff has diminished 3 feet. 'lts maximum at this last period (1808) was still 47 feet, in 1833 it was only 45, and in 1850, 44. It is evident, then, that-Ist, in the space of 100 years, from 1706 to 1808, the dimunition of the waters of this sea has been 3 feet ; 2d, that in another space of a quarter of a century the dimunition has been 2 feet; and 3d, 1 foot in the short space of 17 years, making a total of 6 feet in the course of 127 years. Its sandbanks increase _ _ in extent also, and it is probable that new ones are in course of formation, which will render the naviga- tion of these waters extremely difficult. Indeed, it is probable that a few centuries hence the Sea of Azoff will cease to be navigable, unless, what is not likely, some cause shall stay the progress of the operations now going on. The bottom of the Sea of Azoff is everywhere mud and slime, with a mixture of shells, generally black, and reddish towards the eastern coast. The water is thick and turbid, but the Don freshens it so much that at 20 miles to the west of Taganrog it is drinkable. The other affluents of the Sea of Azoff, which, however, have only a very trifling: ; importance, are—to the north, the Sambek, the Mionsse, the Kalmiousse, the Berda, the Berdianka, the Obitochnia, and the Molotchnia-Vodi ; to the west, the Salghir, the Karasu, the Boulganak, the two Yandols, and the Soubachi. All these belong to the Crimea, and flaw into the Sivash, which communicates with the Sea of Azoff by the Strait of G-enitchi. The peninsula of Kertch does not furnish a single streamlet to ....the.Sea of 9:2ff., On the eastern side, beyond the . , mouths of the Terniti r iier rivers are theTcher noe-Protok, the Konnour, the Kirpile (which loSes itself in the Okhtar), the Bei-su (which is lost in the Beislitskoi), the Tehelbachi, the Ei, .and Kazanlik, which flow near the Don. The current is not so rapid in the Sea of Azoff as at the Strait of Kertch. When the north-east wind blows with force it rarely acquires a rapidity of more than a mile per hour ; when this wind fallF, and that of the south springs up, it generally takes a direction which is con trary to it, but of short duration. The current of this sea, however, is generally to the west, from the Don to the point of Bieloserai. Its greatest mass is from that to the south towards the Strait. It has another part which follows the northern coast, where it meets, between the Points Vizarionou and Beratchi, the current which sup plies the Sivash. On uniting their course is turned to the south. The current of the Sivash is also found flowing to the south for the whole length of the Tongue of Arabat, and on the coast of the Crimea in the direction of the East towards the strait. The navi gation of the Sea of Azoff is only open from the end of May to October. After this period the ice gene rally renders it impracticable." In the charts published by M. Coreard as a com panion to the Guide no soundings are laid down for the lagunes of the Putrid Sea. Of the Tongue of Arabat he says : - • - " The Touka or Arabatskaia-Strelka, known also by the name of the Flbche-d'Arabat, and which the ancients called Zeniskle, or Chersonese de Zenon, separates the Sivash, or Sea of Mud, or Putrid Sea, from the Sea of Azoff. It is 52 miles long, and has scarcely a few feet above the level of the sea. It forms a line very slightly curved, and almost without winding, on the side of the Sea of Azoff, where its shore is composed of sand. Towards the Sivish, on the contrary, is found land producing plants, and so intersected that the breadth of this tongue of land can hardly be determined. It is in some places not more than half a mile. In, all its extent in the Azoff 18 feet of water are found at about a mile from the coast. The depth is not interrupted until about 23 miles from Arabat, and then by a bank which advances five miles seaward, with 10 feet of water and sandy bot toM. The Sivash, or Putrid Sea, is divided into two sorts of gulfs, one of which, to the west, bounds the Isthmus of Perekop, and the other which is called Bikbs (the ancient Boughos or Buge), bends to the south to wards Theodosia. This last receives several streams from the Crimea ; in neither of the two can ships or barques enter. According to some travellers miasmas and foul vapours rise from this sea, which is warm even to its slimy bottom. Others, on the contrary, ainrm that the air in its vicinity is salubrious. Be that as it may, the Putrid Sea is for these parts a source of com merce ar,d activity. On its shores, and on the banks of its numerous lakes, a considerable quantity of salt is gathered, which forms an important source of revenue to the Russian Government. That product, which is gathered during the summer, is transported in all direc tions, even to the centre of the empire, by caravans, which in no place are more numerous, more laden, and morepicturesque than on the Isthmus of Perekop and the Tongue of Arabat." SIR BERNARD BURKE'S HISTORY OF THE LANDED GENTRY.—The new and improved edition of this impor tant work is to be comprised, like the " Peerage," in a single volume, but issued iii four parts, the first of which Is just published. The Landed Gentry of England are so closely Connected with the stirring records of its eventful history that some acquaintance with them is a matter of necessity with the legislator, the lawyer, the historical student, the specu l ato r in poijtics, and the curious in topographical and antiquarian lore ; and this work furnishes such a mass of authentic inforoation in regard to all the principal families of the kingdom as has never before been brought together. To every one, therefore, who finds it necessary to possess a "Peerage," the " ilistory of the Landed Gentry, or Untitled Aris tocracy" must be an equally indispensable volume. 1 A YOUNG VETERAN.--The Hamburg News contains a letter from St. Petersburg, which says—" Captain Vern low lately made his appearance in the drawing-rooms of the capital, and has excited much attention from the fact that, although he is only 23 years of age, he has 24 years of service. Ist, he has been eight years in the army ; 2d, he has served six months at Sebastopol, and as, according to an order of the cabinet of the Emperor, Nicholas, each month's service there is to count as a year, his six months are equivalent to six years, which gave 14 years in all ; 3d, he wears the order of St. Anne and of Wladimir, the cross of the order of St. George, and has a sabre of honour, which reckon for 10 years more ; and in that way he makes up the 24 years. Strange to say, although this officer has been in twelve sorties lie has never received a wound." ABATEMENT OF INCOME TAX.—On Thursday a bill was printed to continue the act for extending the provi sion for the abatement of the income tax in respect of insurance on lives. It is to be extended to the sth of July, 1856, in respect of the income tax and the addi tional duty. I PRICE SD. UNIVERSITY INTELLIGENCE. OXFORD, June 7.—lna C the following degrees were Rev.

MEETING *OF THE CHARITY CHILDREN Yesterday morning the anniversary assembly of the children of the various metropolitan charity schools took place in St. Paul's Cathedral. Nearly the whole of the schools belonging to the Society of Patrons sent their youthful delegates on this occasion to represent them. The number of children present could not haVe been less than between 4,000 and 5,000, who, together with a congregation of between 10,000 and 11,000, which completely occupied the raised platforms which filled up the west, north, and south aisles, presented a spectacle of the most grand and imposing description. The arrange ment of the children was the same as to heretofore— namely, on rising platforms surrounding the space under the dome. The service commenced at 12 o'clock. The singing of the children in the 100th Psalm was, as usual, admirable, being performed with wonderful accuracy and effect. The same remark applies with equal force as regards the 104th and 113th Psalms. But the Coronation Anthem (`‘ Zadok the Priest"), of Han del, was performed on this occasion in a manner so grand and imposing that the impression produced on the hearer was of a nature not soon to be forgotten—the chorus of nearly 5000 voices, the trumpets and kettle drums, swelling out with such power, that vast as is the cathe dral re-echoed from its most distant parts. The per formance of the choir was well enough, but we were sorry to observe that no change whatever lute been made in the selection of the music, the same pieces making their ap pearance which have been in vogue time out of mind. Their merits certainly cannot be urged as a reason for their retention. After the singing of the 113th Psalm, a most appro• priate and eloquent sermon was preached by the Bishop of Llandaff. At the conclusion of the service Handel's grand chorus, " Hallelujah, for the Lord God Omnipo tent reigneth," was performed with considerable merit by the gentlemen of the choir, the children joining in somo parts. The collection on this occasion from some unaccount ,ble reason fell far short in amount to those of former rears. THE DAVIDSON AND GORDON CASE. At the Guildhall, yesterday, the case of Messrs. David son and Gordon was again investigated, but a further adjournment was considered necessary to complete the depositions. Great anxiety was manifested to ascertain the nature of the additional evidence, and there was a numeromi'attendance of the mercantile interest. Mr. B.dlantine, instructed by Messrs. Linklater, ap peared to prOsecute on behalf 'of the assignees. Mr. Bodkin, instructed by Messrs. Humphreys, attended for Davidson, and. ATr. Clarkson for Gordon. Mr. Etivittrifttines,-Q.C., attended, neis--ois4lS 4611atti er occasion, to watch the case for Mes s rs. O veren d , Gur ney, and Co , and to explain anything that might affect the character of the above firm. The evidence adduced was as follows :—Mr. Charles Francis Jucod said—l am an inhabitant of Aix-la- Chapelle. In October, 1854, 1 saw the pri soners i n Neufchatel. Th e y sa id they expected to be arrested for not surrendering to the Court of Bankruptcy. I received a letter from Davidson after he left.—Mr. Henry Hoff man said—l am a merchant, carrying on business at 7, Old Broad -street, City. I had dealings with the pri soners before their bankruptcy. The last advance I made to them was on the Ist of May, 1854. On the 16th of July, 1853, I left town. My clerk had a general authority to advance money to the pri. sondrs, but I gave him no particular instructions to do so in my absence. I produce some warrants that I received from my clerk when I came back to town, and I spoke to the prisoners about them, I said it was not my business to advance money upon warrants, and Gordon said he would take them up shortly. They have not been taken up, and they turn out to lie fictitious warrants.—Mr. John Frederick Fig gin said : lam clerk to the last witness. I recollect, on the 17th July, 1853, Gordon came to me and said Mr. Hoffman had told him that if he wanted money on that day he might come to me with warrants, and that I was to give it to him. I said, if that was the case I was prepared to do so, on the condition that be would return it in eight days. The warrants produced by Mr. Hoff man are the same that were deposited with me. I did not make inquiries upon these personally. Our Custom. house agent made the inquiries. —Mr. Peter E wart, of the firm of Ogelby, Galander, and Co., said : I am a mercbant, of Liverpool. Early in June, 1854, I saw Gor don in Loudon. He made application to me for advances, and I made them to him to the extent of 1,5001. The date of that advance was the 19th of June, 1854. I saw the invoices of the goods upon which I made the ad vances. I believe those produced are the same I saw.— Mr. William Bryant said—l am a merchant, of Man chester. In May, 1854, I received an order from the prisoners in writing. On the 2d of May I supplied goods to the amount of 1,7451. 18s. Bd. I also received a considerable order which was not executed.—Mr. Thomas Ryder said—l am a merchant, of Old Broad street. In May, 1854, I advanced prisoners 1,6141. I did not see the invoices, but those produced refer to the same goods.--Mr. Samuel Hesse said—l am a merchant, of Manchester. On the sth of June, 1854, I supplied goods to the order of the prisoners for . 4601. Bs. 4d., 51. 19s. 11d., and 4551. 4s. 11d. Mr. John M‘Millan said—l carry on business in Glasgow. On the 25th of May, 1854, I sold some check goods to the prisoners through my agent Mr. Beddoir, amounting to 4261. Os. 6d.—Sir Peter Laurie said, address ing the prisoners —It is my intention to commit this case for trial, but as time is required for the preparation of the depositions, I shall adjourn the case for another ! week. The prisoners were remanded accordingly. TRH NAVAL CLUB, 1765.—The members of this club dined together last evening at the Thatched House Tavern, St. James's-street. Admiral W. H. Smythe presided, supported by about 30 officers. HAsuoxio UNION.— One of the best programmes of the season has been prepared for the concert at the Hanover square Rooms next Wednesday. It includes the fine overture of Cherubini's " Faniska ;" a caprice brilliante of Mendelssohn's ; an aria of Weber's, a duet of Mo zart's, and, besides the "Ruins of Athen," Beethoven's glorious Eroica, Symphony. Madame and Mr. Weiss are engaged. The society's splendid band will be led by Mr. H. Blagrove, and Herr Molique will, as usual, oc cupy the post of conductor.

B.A. A letter from St. Petersburg of the 28th ult., in the Constitutionnel, says':— "Preparations are being wade here for the celebra tion on the 2d of June of a double fete—the birth-days of the Grand Duke Constantine and of the Grand Duchess Helen Paulowna, aunt of the present Emperor. The mourning which the decree of the Emperor bad fixed will be suspended in honour of the fete of his ma jesty's brother, and there will be a grand reception at the palace of the Grand Duke. The Emperor will go there with his sons, Alexander and Alexis. The Grand Duke Constantine was present lately at the instal lation of the new organisation of the Admiralty. He has ordered that in memory of the first birth-day fate o. tie Emperor Alexander 11., three iron steamei.s intended for the port of Cronstadt, shall be constructed at Wol linsk. He went to Cronstadt the day before yes): erday, in consequence of having received information of some English ve-sels of war having appeared in the Gulf: All the fleet of Cronstadt will coon, it is said, leave the port where it has wintered, and place itself in line between Kronschlotte, Fort Pierre, and Cronstadt. The Em peror has turned his cab:net at the winter palace into a kind of observatory, from which, by the aid of Cronstadt be ,tione, and a part of the Ly will be able a telescope, he tan s C y ro x n a s s ta . dt h the fort: Bea attacked, many an inha.bitant of the capital Bee, bombardment however, from do es ttho eContemplate °tub thee. ro g T re n s e s of N s t r h t e h e t r h n e not think that any one will have an opportunity of wit nessing a naval battle, and expresses its conviction that it is impossible for the English fleet to approach the f mts of Cronstadt. The intelligence of the entrance of the allied fleets into the sea of Azoff, which reached us by telegraph from Nicholaieff, has caused the greatest sensation. The Government is accused of having neglected the defence of a sea which was the last refuge of the commercial fleet of southern Russia. There may be seen in the fact of the aban donment of the Straits of Kertch and Yenikale a fresh proof of the egotism which inspires the policy of the Czar. Millions have been spent on Sebas topol, and nothing done for the protection of the Sea of Azoff. The people suffer from the obstinacy of the Government not to yield anything, but that is thought A l i t l t e l x a e o n f d i e n r t l h ic e high wili n e r o t r e a g l o o nws theof pow. p oli e t r ie a l The programmeE m er o o r f his deceased father to be questioned in the most distant manner, and havirig,-less decision of character than the late Czar, the Emperor cannot assum e the initiative of a new policy. In the privy council and in his cabinet no one dares to express the slightest objection to what he calls ' the sacred and spiritual legacy of his father of imperishable memory,' and the surest way of- payi ng court to the son is by expressing concurrence in the, ideas of the father." : ---- -;- A NE W COMET. The following letter, dated (Wednesday) two o'clock, has been addressed by M. Leverrier, director of the Imperial Observatory, to the Minister of Public In struction : " Monsieur le Ministre—l have the honour of informing you that a nEw comet has been discovered at the Imperial Observatory, in the Constellation Gemini. It is visible from 9toll in the evening. This comet, the discovery of which is due to M. Dien, is nearly in the route followed by two fine comets observed—one in 1264, and the other in. 1556. If these two appearances, the second of which coin cided with the abdication of Charles V. belonged to one and the same star, there would be reason to expect the re turn of it at about this period. Is the comet just disco vered at the Observatory that concerning which Charles V. exclaimed—His ergo indiciis me mea fata vocant or is it a distinct one, and is only crossing the orbit of the other? This is what further observations , will decide. May it, under any circumstances, augur something fortunate for French astronomy.—Accept, &c. " LEVERRIER." MARKET NEWS--(THIS DA Y 0 CORN EXCHANGE. We continue to be very moderately supplied with wheat. Owing, however, to the prevailing fine weather, and the favourable accounts at hand from most parts of the country r specting the appearance of the crops, the demand for all ,kinds of wheat of home produce ruled heavy, at barely Monday's prices. We had a slow sale for both barley and malt, yet no decline took place in their value. The oat trade was dull, and inferior oats were rather easier to purchase.
