gourtl)72tittton SUN OFFICE, Seven o'Clock. DESPATCH FROM THE CRIMEA. (From a Supplement to Priday's Gazette.) WAR DEPARTMENT, SEPT. 10. Lord Panmure has this day received a despatch and its enclosures, of which the following are copies, ad dressed to his lordship by General Simpson. BEFORE SEBASTOPOL, AUG. 28. -My Lord,—Since the attempt of the enemy to force the passage of the Tchernaya, on the 16th instant, no movement of aggression has taken place ; but all the ac counts I have received tend to show a disposition on their part to renew the attack. I have considered it necessary to send the Highland Division, composed of the 42d, 71st, 79th, and 93d Regiments, under the com mand of Lieutenant-General Sir C. Campbell, to rein force our extreme right, and they are now encamped on the slopes of the heights overhanging the village of Samara. I have likewise placed 50 guns and the cavalry in re serve, to act on the first appearance of the enemy. The 56th Regiment has arrived, and I have attached it to the Ist Division. The siege operations are progressing favourably ; but, owing to the brightness of the nights, a large amount of work cannot be executed. The raft bridge from the north side to the south shore has been completed, and is actually in use by the enemy, and a considerable increase of troops, with a good deal of movement, is observable in the town. The installation of the Knights of the Bath took place yesterday at my head-quarters, and was conducted with great dignity and solemnity by Viscount Stratford de Redcliffe. The effect was most imposing, attended as the cere mony was by the Naval and Military Commanders-in- Chief of the Allied Forces ; and after the delivery by her majesty's Ambassador of a peculiarly eloquent discourse upon the character and history of the Most Honourable , Order, the several Knights were respectively invested with the insignia of their Class. I transmit the weekly report of the principal Medical Officer, which shows a decided improvement in the health of the army, and the lists of casualties to the 26th inst.—l have, eze., JAMES SIMPSON, General Commanding. The Lord Panmure, Sze. &c. &c. Enclosure 1.

BATH, Saturday.—This morning the young man, Thomas Tutton, who is suspected of having ad m i n i s t ere d repeated doses f arsenic to his father, Mr. Chas. Tutton, an auctioneer, atia a member of the Bath Town Council,- was brought up for his first examination upon the charge of attempted murder. A large crowd had assembled around the :'Centyal 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. Tutt9n'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 o n being placed st‘the bar he manifested no concern for his position ; but appeared to treat the proceedings with the greatest coolness. He took copioue notes of the evidence. Sarall.Warnpro.the servant of Mr. Tutton, sen., de tailed it great length the facts of theecase. A solicitor ' Mr. Wilson, had bee n re t a i ne d by th e prisoner'S frierels, lout he declined his services, and pro ceeded-to erdiVelamine the witness at great length. Mr. Charles A. Harris, the surgeon who attended Mr. Tutton, vas neva jxamined, and proved that the illness of his pat, ientliio been occasioned by arsenic. Jam& Ryati,4A detective officer of the Dublin police, deposed—B,etiteen 4 and 5 o'clock on Wednesday, the sthineti alsupiiedner came to the detective office, Lower Castle-yard, Dublin. I was not present at the time, but was sent for, and a newspaper was banded to me by Mr. Superintendent O'Neil, containing some particulars of an attempt to poison Mr. Charles Tutton, and of the absence of his son. After I had read a few worde, the prisoner said, "I am the person who is referred to iu that. I will write a letter to the Times newspaper this morning denying the whole facts of the case." I then obtained the Police Gazette, and found his description in it. I asked, "Is your name Tutton ?" and he replied, " Yes ; Thomas." I told him he was described under the head of " Wilfnl Murder ;" and he then asked me it his father was dead. I said, " L 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 Eaid 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 answer to bring him over, On board the boat, on the way over from Kingston to Holyhead, the prisoner said, " I shall not be beard before the magistrates when the case is being tried ?" I told him I bad no doubt the magistrates would hear what he had to say. Ho 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 say I should 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 bad not seen the case in the Police Gazette at that time. You did not say that you had written to the Times, but I do not re collect 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 son, and you said it was a copy of your letter to the Times. gg Mr Hughes then applied for a remand till next Satur day, when he said he should be prepared to complete the case. After a short consultation, the magistrates re- solved to adjourn the further examination until Satue day next. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. TATTERSALL'S-SATURDAY.

In a portion of our impression on Saturday we reported the de , truction 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 Sau 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 Avatscha, and after cruising in a vain search for the Russian frigates came to Bau 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 transferring his flag to the Monarch, the flag ship of the squadron. The allied fleet, consisting of eight war vessels and steamers, arrived off Petropaulovski on the 15th of May,but thegarrison had already left for the Amoor River, in the Russian frigate Aurora, corvette Dwina, 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 17th of April, 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 land e d an d 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 art, ropro_ 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 hall 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. W 0 have been shown a despatch, dated in Petro paulovski, from Rear-Admi r al ourichon,• 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 Amcor 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 regarde 1 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 Petro 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 Island, 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 l the Russians, and no hostilo 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 he 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 upe4„ this point, the admirals did not think proper lig 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 heard from the nu merous trading posts on the adjacent islands, they were apprehensive that those who filled them were suffering. (Prof, the San Francisco Herald.) In the early part of last May the allied fleet, augmented by the arrival of other vessels of war, appeared before the devoted town, and cc mraenced preparations for the attack. When they approached sufficiently near to be able to discern objects on the shore, they wore greatly surprised to find that the American flag had been substituted for the Russian, and that a most extraordinary stillness reigned around. On landing they found 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 dAstant. 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 inliabitaiits,•presented of course a very lonely appearance. Packs , of dogs seourcd 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 fortificaiions of the place, in order that they i n thickness, o m f ig lo h g t s be o able to give t T hem a warmer reception on their ar e ance. hefortificationswere composed 1 second f wood, shstielt f aeh a y s ani c e ines and earth, about 15 feet and the embrasures indicated the fact that 4 51 e g a u li n b s re w ; ere bu m t oi s i t ia r t a e n t e an t d o 1 these of the they arrived there say, not one of e rievivi n e roa,ryo.arny buried. o f the Tammuni tionpro- bability and stores last found by the allies when zines, &c., is that they They were either magazines, of in the latter property burned down by d belonging which were way. The arsenals, principally frame buildings, was destroyed. the allies, and all the prop exodus of Government which could be fou y n scrupulously The store s and respected.private From the allies learned the particulars of the garrison and the inhabitants. It appears on the receipt of the news of the defeat, e u that the first attack, in England, the English screw-steamer Barracouta, 14 guns, and the steamer Encounter 6 r guns, were ordered from China to Petropaulovs'ki to watch the movements there. Both lay off the coast, about 60 miles from Petropaulovski, during the whole spring ; but on the lith April the whole arrison embarked on board the Aurora and the Iwina and 4 merchantmen, and, taking with them all their otares and ainnitinition, set cad' for the the twthoAmetroicatnhse Amoor River. The movement was not perceived on board the English steamers in consequ(-nee of the thickness of the weather, occasioned by the 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 delicate state 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 ba,teries by which the harbour was protected. It is difficult to divine what were the reasons 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 successfully defended even against a larger force than the 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 works at P e t ro p au lovski, 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. Tile vessels have disappea-rw.Waking shelter probably in small inlets of the sea in ,remote points. The allied fleets searched diligently Itcling 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 Amcor, 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 hot proVe uninteresting :—" The town of Petropaulov ski, which is now at the head of the harbour, stands in an amphitheatre on the slope of two bills, 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 bot.orn of the port, you land on a plank which holds the place of a mole, and pas 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 oeossing a woodon 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 strong 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 inhabi 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. Tin-ire is, besides, an hospital and a school." THE CHANNEL ISLANDS AND TEEM NAVIGATION. The Channel Islands are surrounded with numeraus rocks of every imaginable shape, size, and height, above and below the surface of the water. They lsek like the jagged teeth of marine monsters, formed purposely for tearing ships to pieces. Between and around these rocks the tide forms currents, which fl tw in every directior, rendering the navigation as difficult and dangerous as that of any part of the world. This might he supposed from the numerous vessels lust annually on those rocks, 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 ekevaztx de frieze 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 pickets 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, Sark, the Corbibre, or any other light, islet, or headland near Jer 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 clears off. It is curious that in the pas aee 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 psis sage close to that island. Much time is saved by pro ceeding through the race, hut it is not often Vat it can be attempted. Although GOO or-700 passengers pass to and from the Channel Islands and England weekly by the mail packets, not a serious accident has happened to the packets for years. This is in a great measure owing to the long experience which Captains Babot and Goodridge, the commanders of the mail steamers, have had. They know the shape, position, and name, of every rock and rocklet, whether submerged or above water, that they have to pass ; and they know, also, the strength and direction of the innumerable currents they have to encounter at every particular part of their voyage. Some time since Captain Goodridge was overtaken by a storm near the islands, and the weather became at leLgth so thick that he was obliged to come to an anchor. Night was coming on, and he made up his mind for a long stay. By looking intently around him he fortunately made out the dim outline of the form of the peak of one of the rocks which studded the sea around him, and by this he knew precisely whereabouts he was. In the course of the night the storm and dark ness increased, and he heard cries of distress. He sent a boat's crew towards the spot whence the cries came, to render assistance, and with much difficulty, for the boat was Leidy 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 (tom. mander, when he got on board Capt. Goodridge's ship, firmly believed his vessel had by that time gone (loan ; 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 approaching; he ord :red steam to be got up, and although it was pitch dark, he threaded his way cautiously for some considerable dis tance, when his look-oast man rung out in alarm, " A rock ahead, sir." Captain Goodridge, however, d;d 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.

TH PI PUBLIC' JtIIUBS A (From the Times of does day. ) In the address of Lord Stanley to the Matiehe•aer and Liverpool Agricultural Society it is ea .y to recog: - ase the honest and painstaking young noblemen 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, aericulturists 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 pet 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 siive 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,l 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 , cription to the society, to 100 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 evi:r 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 statistics. It has been intimated to him that our farmers weuld 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, the importance they enjoy in their own little domain, and their general ignorauce of put eee .na y ,evesee this ohjsotion. But they ought to be informed that all other classes euemit in more than one way to the prying eyes of the St .:e, The manu facturers is inspected at every turn. Besides that tee nation knows to a pound the quantity of cotton wool imported every year ; it also knows to a yard, and a pennywoith, the quantity of manufactured cotton goods that lea . , e the island. The inalufactute:r is boiled to make returns of the ages of his younger ie f ,erativoe • I 3 emplo7 them only in such and such hours, to provi, n 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 ineeeree tax. S the farmers are under a considerable mistiee if they think that they are the only peerle _;chose aff,irs the State pry inte. But, after all, it is the farmer who is especially ilituret is the coliec tees of trustworAy agricultural etatieties, as vela dy suffers so !Ditch by the present want of them. He sells his crop in the lark, and is generally taken in. Such ins the tone of the advice Lord Stanley gives to the farmer, and it derervee to be wt:l received. Undoubtedly Berne of these suggestions are very dis agreeable, and Lord Stanley does not take much pains to sweeten them. FOr example, the hint about the small scale of the Lancashire holdings will be set down by many people as not only unkind, but very unpoeti cal. We believe that many very excellent persons think that the smaller the farm the greater the content, the virtue, and even the pr sperity of the occupier, till perhaps they would pnt their ideal of a per fect farm at four acres or thereabouts. Of course it cannot be denied that small farms are more tolerable io a da:ry 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 idea of had condition. The small farmer has not enough time, or money, or skill for any one pursuit. Everything, therefore, goys wrong about him. He cannot afford to pay labourers regularly or well ; he cannot afford good s!rvants ; be cannot afford that cheerful, abundant, yet economical home which is the best school of rural vir tues. The small farmer is generally a very poor crea tore, a very ignorant creature, and often a very dissolute cr. ature, from the circumstance of his not having either the hard teaching of extreme poverty, the chains of ser vice, or the responsibility and self-respect of a better con dition. There is no class of life in which domestic rela tions of an equivocal charactErso widely prevail as in that of =ll faemers. There is none in which education is so little valued. Tliere is none so inaccessible to the higher influences of a civili'ed country. Some may be sorry to see it altogether destroyed, but it produces little more than picturesque ferny, tumile-down walls, dilapidated cuthouses, gates that have coved to swing, fences that have ceased to interfere with the movements of cattle, bridges that are no Joager sale, and ditches that no longer favour the flow of water. If you want hedges that assume the luxuriance of thickets and harbour every variety of British bird—if you want fields favourable for botanising, cot tages that would adorn any album, and cattle that a Mcrland would naturally step to sketch, and, finally, boors that a Teniers or a Wilkie would make a memo rundum of, you will fiad them iu the small farms of the dairy districts, which send out penniless adventurers, 'out whose occupiers are still more wretched than those who are sent out. We are quite sure that no landlord need ever fret himself for the supposed wrongs of those who have been to look out for th .mselves by the union of small farms in larger ones: Toe process is the greatest benefit; to the country, to the laboorer, and, we are satisfied, to the small farmers thems?lves. Lord Stanley deserves our thanks for recornmendin - e the process as a public benefit in defiance of the prejudices of those who take a picturesque view eef the question. •On the other hand—and it is a very fair stet-off against this suggestion— Lord Stanley contends for the liberty of selling land on the part of the landowner. Settlements and the technicalities of:conveyaece make it morally im possible in this country for a landowner to do what ho likes with his own. There are many situations out of the category of common farming in which a landowner mil ht sell very ordinary land at 1001. an acre, if he could do it at all or at the expense , of 51. an acre far the conveyance. No reason can be given why this should net be permitted. We have heard of a case where a town which had been intoler ably dissolute and ilkonditiened in all respects dated a very startling improvement from the time when 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 wants to sell hie 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 1. , source before many years. 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 that 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 greatest 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 possession ; 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 MYSTERIOUS CASE.-At the bench of magis trate-,, on Monday (present—the Mayor, A. Bigge, and Montaeu Scott, E,cirs.), a female who gave her name Sophia Baker, asked the advice of the Bench under the following very extraordinary circumstances :—The appli cant stated that she went with a female friend into the shop of Mr. Walley, East-street, called "Ye House of Lud," for the purpose of purchasing a silk dress. Au 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 g00d,,, and ultimatelpprevailed upon her to have a piece of silk cut off for a dress, the price being 225. She took out her purse, expecting to find in it two half-ove reigns' knowing that s h e h a d care f u ll y p l ace d theni there before she went into the shop ; but, to her utter astonishnunt, 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 the dress. Applicant 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 sire, Mr. Walley was sent for ; and, on making his appear at,ce, the circumstances were repeated, and Mr Walley said, rather than have any disturbance he al lowed the applicant, to take the dress away for the half sovereign. Mrs. Reed, applicant's friend, said it was not till after that she had threatened to call in a police 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 coin promise the case, but it also compromised the character of the establishment. If Mr. Walley liked, be might bring forward his men to clear his shop from that suspi cion which the statements of applicant and her friend were calculated to excite. Mr. Walley declined to do so, preferring to let the matter rest where was.-- 1 Brighton gazgle. 4 Naval and Military I tteligence. The Bloo , ;hound,. 3, trout , heel Commander Lieutenant Ethelred W. Bridge, arrived at Sheerness on Saturday. Second Lieutenant George M. Smith, of the Waterloo, was ordere to proceed with her in charge pro tem. to Portsmouth, in 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 for that port. The Castor, 36-gun frigate, left Sheerness on Saturday last at 7.30 a.m., assisted by the steamwessel Lizard, Lieut. Thomas B.

Williams, which is to proceed to the Black Sea to-day with mortars and muni tions of war, is also ordered 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. The Neptune has about 900 men and boys on her books, but the St. George has not above 600, and these, for the most pert, novices. The Sanspareil embarked upwards of 200 well-trained boys yesterday afternoon from the various training ships at Portsmouth, for service in the Black Sea fleet. The Hollander steam transport, No. 223, arrived at Spithead yesterday from the East, but without any invalids. The Rosamond went to Spithead on Saturday evening to be in attendance upon the Neptune.

They will leave Chatham this morning for-Pertsrool h. An early inquiry is ordered to take place at Sheerness by a committee of officers appointed by the Admiralty and Ordnance Departments, ti aecertain the cause of the bursting of the mortars. We understand that all the principal and non-commissioned officers of the Marine Artillery, under whose charge the mortars were when in action, are to be present to give such ev'dence as may be required of them as to the number of rounds fired from each mortar, with the period occupied and the weight of charges of powder used on the several oc,•asions. Sergeant-Major James Phelps, 22d Regiment, died suddenly in Plymouth Citadel en Friday afternoon. The deceased gave orders to the bugler to sound the call for non-eommi,sioned officers, and then retired to ►he orderly room, where he was found ahme five minutes afterwards ectende•l on his hack in a fit of apoplexy. He was a native of Glocesrershire, about, 30 years of age, and had been upwards of 11 years on service in the East Indies, whence the regiment returned in July. His com mission as an ensign was being prepared at the Horse Guards, and would have been in his possession to-mor row. MILITIA. The Hampshire Regiment of Infantry Militia, now stationed at Winchester, has for some time biw---t gra dually increasing in numbers, aod it expected tha , after harvest operations are over a considerable roimber of recruits will he chtained. as wt.!: as in:my i f the old soldiers who claimed their disc iarge last spring. In con sequence of the recent let'er from ther~eGuards, de siring colonels of militia regiments in billets to allow a certain proportion of their men to go home during thp harvest, about 100 inf-n of this rpgimer.t have had a fur lough granted them Ur five week s . O n t h e i r return they will probably bring a considerable nurnlyr of recruits. The men of the West Essex Militia, 300 of whom were allowed a furlough to assist in the harvest-field, are re turning with the greatest regularity. At present there has not been a defaulter, The Queen's Own Worcestershire Yeomanry Cavalry is now on permanent duty at Worcester, under the com mand of Colonel Lot d Ward, who has just returned from the Crimea, and wii‘ se re-appear •nce in Worcestershire was celelyated by 13 , 11 Friging, eut.
