Up to that period he had been encouraged by the rest of his colleagues in the Cabinet to meet the conflict—the strenuous support which he received from many Ministers Preventing the others from insisting on his expul sion. It might have been anticipated that those who, with him, were willing to patch up a dis honourable and transitory peace on terms which he himself admitted in his despatch of the 18th of April to be but "an mope • rfect security for Turkey and for Europe," would sustain and de fend him against attacks to which they must have felt themselves equally liable, and they were willing to do so until the threatened withdrawal of support, mil the absolute certainty that they would be left in a disgraceful minority, taught them that ci discretion was the better part of valour," and "solve qui peut" became the order of the day. The "political Jonas'' was then readily flung overboard, in the hope that the storm would be thereby allayed, and that the remainder of the crew could for some time longer navigate the vessel of the State in the old style. The Peelites notoriously deferred war while Russia was preparing it, in hope of purchasing peace by ignominious concession ; they next car ried on a parade war, and when that could no longer be endured they sold themselves, the un fortunate provinces, and our soldiers' blood to Alls tria. The Whigs came in ; but, as we again and again insisted, they retained the man who bad done more than all others to embolden Russia, while his language was the most irritating to her of any ; the man who madly guaranteed the enemy all his territory, come what would, and who thus showed more than any one that, however big his words, he was not for war in earnest. At tacked on Lord JOHN RUSSELL'S principle Russia must have been an idiot not to fight to the last. She might cause the Allies vast loss and expense, yet even if ever so successful this conceited statesman promised her that what she cared most for—her posts of aggression —should all be restored to her ! Heads we lose, tails you win. The autho r of this marl declaration is no longer a member of the Govern ment. May he never be again ! at least while lasts ; which, conducted on hi s ethireles,prin. warwould certainly be for his lifetime. We have never had a thorough War Ministry yet. It remains to be seen whether the fault be in the unmanageable nature of the secret Austro- Coburg influence, or in the sympathy of our aristocracy with Russia and the Continental despots. The nation will nct, however, long e ndure a half-hearted Cabinet, be the cause what it will. Here we are, nearing the brink of five or six m on th s of irresponsible Government, and as yet we ha ve nothing who consented tobetter to rely on than men negotiate on the basis of the four points, who have been gulled by Austria) The 13th Regiment is attached to the Fourth Division, but will for the present remain for duty at Balaklava. Captain R. Luard, 77th Regiment, is placed on the staff of the army to act as Deputy-Assistant- Adjutant-General or Deputy-Assistant-Quarter master-General, as his services may be required. He is, for the present, attached to head-quarters. The following officers proceed to England on the recommendation of a medical board :—Major Pack and Lieutenant Malan, 7th Fusiliers ; Captain Quayle, 33d Regiment ; Lieutenant Chamberlayne, 13th Light Dragoons; and Lieutenant Stewart, 3d Regiment ; and the undermentioned have also ob tained leave to return home on their private affairs —Lieut.-Col. the Hon.

The following are the most interesting portions of the General Orders that were published last night : "Head-quarters, befo re S e b astopo l , July 2. "The funeral procession of the late Field Marshal Lord Raglan, G.C.8., will move from head-quarters to Kazatch-bay at 4 o'clock p.m. on T ues d ay, the 3d July. "The Brigade of Guards will furnish a guard of honour of 100 men with regimental colour at h ea d- quarters. Detachments of 50 men in review order, with one field officer, one captain, and one subaltern from e ac h regi ment, will line the road from the British to the French bead-quarters. " The detachments from each division will be com manded by a Brigadier-General. " The cavalry division will furnish guards of hon our of two squadrons o n th e r i g ht an d left of the line. "Two field-pieces will be stationed as a guard of honour on the left of the line. "A salute of 19 guns will be fired when the proces sion moves off. There is little news of importance to communi cate this week. Admiral Dundas went up on the 7th, in the Merlin, to reconnoitre Fort Risbank, and while so occupied was fired upon several times by the batteries ; the vessel, however, being out of range, all the shot fell short. As the Geyser was com i ng d own f rom th e fl ee t to Dantsic she met on the 10th Admiral Baynes in the Retribution, with the Colossus, Hogue, Edin burg, and four gunboats, going up to join the Com mander-in-Chief at Cronstadt. The following ves sels, which form the other part of his squadron, remain at Nargen :—the Hawke, Pembroke, Hast ings, Russell, together with some gunboats and mortar vessels. On the same evening, the Geyser passed the Imperieuse, with three mortar vessels in tow, off Dago Ort. On the 3d instant the Geyser, while blockading , the coast about six miles north of the fleet, success fully shelled a body of Russian troops, attempting to occupy some large buildings in the vicinity of Incomeni Point, and caused them to retire ; on the following morning the same vessel destroyed, with red hot shot, a large schooner which was being built a little higher up the coast. It is not at all improbable that the whole of the fleet will very shortly leave the present anchorage before Cronstadt, and take up a position lower down the Gulf of Finland. What the exact object of this move may be it is of course impossible to say ; still, however, " coming events cast their shadows before them," as the old proverb runs. In this instance, however, it is to be hoped that "coming events" will also "clear off" those shadows which have hitherto shrouded in darkness the aim and intentions of the Baltic Fleet. The corn trade is, at the present moment quite at a stand-still. The dull accounts from England exercise a great influence on the minds of pur chasers, who will not come forward except a mate rial reduction in former prices be made by holders ; this, however, the latter do not feel inclined to ac cede to, and prefer taking their supplies to granary rather than submit to a sacrifice. Freights continue nearly the same as last week, 20s. to London, and proportionate rates to other ports. In the timber trade several large purchases have been made here, at rather high prices, from the supplies just arrived from Poland. The export trade consists principally of goods for railway pur poses, and for the Government. Considerable sup plies also continue to be shipped for the French Government. A Hamburg letter of the 11th ult., in the Inde pendance Beige, says : "Last evening the French flotilla which was lying for some days at Kiel cleared out for the Baltic, to join the squadron of Rear-Admiral Penaud, in the Gulf of Fin land, before Cronstadt. The corvette Aigle had left Kiel three days before with two bomb-vessels. The remaining five, which sailed yesterday, were towed by three other steamcorvettes. The steam-sloopTempete had postponed her departure owingto the necessity of repairing damages sustained by her engines. Other French ships of war are shortly expected at Kiel. Stockholm letters and journals of the sth, brought by the Gauthiod, which entered Travemunde last evening, make no mention of the bombardment and destruction of Nystadt, in Finland, by an English squadron. That statement was circulated by the captain of a small vessel coming from the Gulf, and the Swedish telegraph immediately forwarded it in all directions. To day the event appears to be unfound "ed, and the Swedish journals themselves admit it. Let ters from Ilelsingfors of the 28th ult., received at Stock holm on the 3d, refer to the great difficulty of commu nicating with Sweden. No intercourse was possible between Abo and the Isles of Aland, on account of the continual presence of English vessels, which find means to penetrate the narrowest creeks of our islands. After the affair of Hango-Udde the English considerably increased th e num b er of their war vessels in the Gulf of Bothnia. There are at present no less than 22 English ships of war of all sizes cruising in that gulf, where no thing important bad occurred up to the morning of the 29th. The attention of the English cruisers is particu larly directed to the telegraphs along the Finnish coast, half a dozen of which were destroyed by them in the month of June. On the 18th they cannonaded and levelled with the ground the telegraph of Porkkaland. After bombarding to no purpose the fort of Slava they set fire to the neighbouring hsusoi, aa,a, Laviu4 10- turned to the charge on the 20th, they completely destroyed the telegraph. On the 21st, having re ceived a reinforcement of ships of war, the English re-opened fire on the fort, and compelled the garrison ALEXANDRIA, JULY 6. The India mail arrived at Suez on the 3d inst., and proceeds this day to Malta and Southampton by the steamer Indus. Cholera has almost entirely disappeared at Cairo, but here it still prevails, particularly among the military, of whom about a hundred die daily from this disease. Said Pasha, the Viceroy, had taken a large number on the coast to the west ward, but the fatigue of marching and the exposure to the sun in this hot season aggravated the dis ease, so that his Highness brought them back at once, and is now talking of taking them to Cairo. The Archduke Maximilian, brother to the Em peror of Austria, arrived here yesterday from the coast of Syria, and he is now visiting the Viceroy under the salute of guns and with military state. To-morrow the Archduke, nothing daunted by the heat, the lowness of the Nile, and the prevalence of cholera, proceeds to Cairo, and thence perhaps to Upper Egypt. His arrival in Alexandria was preceded by the entrance into the harbour of three corvettes, three frigates, six brigs, and three steam frigates, constituting almost the entire Austrian navy, and the object of this visit is no doubt cal culated for some political purpose. The Nile is now at its very lowest point, and may begin to rise perceptibly in a few days. The railway works are progressing favourably, and by . September or October the line to Cairo may be opened for traffic. One class of people who will de rive much benefit from the railway are the thou sonds of hadjis or Mohammedan pilgrims, on the way to Mecca, who at this season of the year, some times occupy three weeks or a month in reaching Cairo in native boats by the river ; the cholera has committed great ravages among them at Cairo. Trade in Egypt very dull, there being little or no produce for shipment. Freights 4s. 6d. per quarter. Exchange on London, 98i piastres per £ sterling. The irregular cavalry collected by Colonel Wal pole in Syria for the Turkish contingent were at Beyrout, about 500 in number, awaiting the arri val of steamers to take them on to the seat of war. The men were giving Colonel Walpole much trouble from their insubbordinate conduct, and there were daily attempts at desertion. Yesdaskeer Bey, the Koordish Chief, and his at tendants, were still living at the British Consulate at Mosul. The Turks are anxious to get these men into their hands, and a new rebellion is expected to break out in the mountains, all because of the Turkish authorities. M. Rassam, the Vice-Consul at Mosul, has been ordered to equip and to send to the seat of war 500 mules and 500 Bashibazouks. An insurrection has taken place among the Koords in the Hakkari Mountains. AMERICA. The editor of the Buffalo Advertiser has made himself immortal by the publication of an infallible means of keeping babies perfectly quiet, the modes operandi of which is as follows :—As soon as the child wakes and begins to squall, prop it up with pillows and smear its fingers with thick treacle, sticking feathers into the hands, and thus afford the youngster the employment of picking the feathers from the one band and the other, which will keep him still until he falls asleep again. The Univers publishes a sonnet to the Virgin, com posed by General Verg4, who, it appears, made a vow at the moment when he was leading his brigade to the a.ssault of the Mamelon Vert, that if he escaped death that day, he would openly acknowledge the dogma of the Immaculate Conception. A letter from his wife, received just before he went into action, in which she said, "Promise me to make a vow to the Virgin," was the cause of the gallant General making the vow which lie row faithfully and publicly acomplishes. FIRE AT HUNGERFORD MARKET.—Last evening (Sun day) considerable alarm was caused in the vicinity of Hungerford-market in consequence of a fire breaking out on the wharf of the market, occasioned by some boys accidentally emptying their pipes on a waggon laden with straw. On the sudden outbreak messengers were despatched for the Chandos-street, Watling-street, West of England, and various other engines, which promptly arrived, and speedily got to work, with a good supply of water from the mains of the New River. The wind blowing strongly the flames spread with amazing ra pidity, and five carts and one waggon belonging to Mr. Milligan, hay and strawdealer, opposite the booking office, on the wharf, as well as Mr. T. Henderson's carts, speedily ignited. The firemen worked most strenuously, and by dint of great perseverance the flames were sub dued, but not until the strata and carts were nearly de stroyed. SWEETS, OR MADE WINES,—A return moved for by Mr. Masterman, M.P., shows that there were imported into England from Scotland in the year 1854, 17,4711 gallons of sweets, or made wines, at 41d. per gallon, 1,767 at 31d. per gallon, and 29,761 gallons at 2d. per gallon, 145 gallons of ether, at rates varying from 45.7 d. to 7s. lid, per gallon, 1,471 gallons of sweet spirits of nitre, at rates varying from 2s. 9d. to 4 s. 96 . per gallon, and 2111 gallons of tinctures, at rates varying from ls. 10d. to 3s. 26. per gallon. The number of gallons imported from Ireland was 2,9191 gallons of sweets or made wines at 61d.., 6,853 of the same at 51d., 791 gal lons of ether at 11s. 3d., 82 gallons of ether at 9s. 7d., 6431 gallons of sweet spirits of nitre at 6s. 9c1., 7171 gallons of the same at ss. 96., and 7 gallons of tinctures at from 3s. 106. to 4s. 6d per gallon. A list of sweets or made wines, &c., seized by the Excise and Customs, is appended to the foregoing statistics. NAVAL PATIENTS:—Her Majesty, on the 26th of June, 1855, was pleased to approve the following recom mendations of the Lords of the Admiralty relative to naval payments, viz.,-1, that all bias be issued or drawn at the uniform term of seven days ; 2, that navy bills issued for supplies of provisions, victualling, medi cal, and naval stores, freights, and generally for all con tract works and supplies, be made out payable at seven days after date ; and 3, that all bills of exchange drawn on the Accountant-Get , eral of the Navy, and accepted by him, purai l e in thu biq account of the Paynn , ,:•;ter- General at the Bank of Engkin , l, be drawn at seven days after sight, instead of three days, as prescribed by Act 2, William IV., cap. 40. These regulations axe to come into operation OA the Int of October next. "The troops not on duty will be under arms at 4 o'clock p.m., and will remain in camp under the command of a Brigadier-General of each division, with whom one Major of Brigade and one divisional staff officer at at least will remain. " The troops and staff at Balaklava will remain at their posts, " The escort to Kazatch will consist of four squadrons of Cavalry, one troop of Horse Artillery and a field battery, the whole under the command of Lieut.-Colonel Dupuis, R.U.A and of detachments of the allied forces who have offered to attend. " The mourners to take place in the procession will be relatives and friends of the late Field Marshal, general officers of divisions wits their staffs, staff at head•quart. J LIVERPOOL, JULY 15. By the arrival from Boston, via Halifax, this morning of the Royal Mail steam-ship Asia, Lott commander, we are in receipt of advices from New York to the 3i, Boston the 4th, and Halifax the 6th inst. The Asia was detained by fog for 12 hours outside the harbour of Halifax. She brought 218 passengers and $884,157 in specie on freight. There are no political advices of the least interest. The President and his lady had left Washington for the benefit of her health. Mr. Crampton, our Minister to the United States, is reported to have taken offence at the official prevention of the de parture of recruits for the Crimea. Upwards of 10,000 persons attended a meeting for opposing the new prohibitory Liquor Law, in the Park, at New York. All the speakers de nounced the law as fanatical, unconstitutional, and totally inadequate to promote the cause of tempe rance, or other useful purpose ; while, on the other hand, it would destroy millions worth of property, ll blast the p ro , iw ct3 of tl'r;t• Tel .citizen 6.
