SEA OP AZOF:- ; Captain Sherard Ozborn, R.N., in writing to a con. temporary, says : "It appears to me so important that the Russians should not succeed in misleading us by giving false or in terested information about a part of the world we may perhaps have again to visit as belligerents, that at the risk of it being thought highly improper I beg to correct )ne part of your correspondent's news from the Crimea. ," He says, quoting from Major Haminersley, Captain Brooke, or . Mr. Sinclair, that there are no wells on Ara. oat Spit, simply because they are not wanted, th e Sea ofAzef.ia its neighbourhood being perfectly drinkable. Now I assert that there are wells on Arabat Spit, that 'they exist on about the spotis marked in the large RUP isian maps, and that the _water .in them is drinkable, Whereas that of the Sea, of Azof. from Genitchi along die Spit .as far as Point Kayantiss, is salt, and unfit for man ur beast, The only ,part of the Sea Azof Where fresh water is procurable from the , zurface of the sea, after the sea breaks up, is in the Gulf of Azo'f, and that above the Krivaia or Crooked Spit, in the upper part of the Oukliout Liman, and, lastly, at the edge of the Delta of the river Kuban, and tliat only in places.- These are facts which all the offi cers, French as wail as English, can attest who served in the Sea of Azof. Evidently from hearsay, the Eng !ish officers are impressed with the idea that there is a tine 9 feet channel from Tchongar bridge to Genitchi, u,d a constant current miring from Genitchi to Pere kop.

By a TRAVELLER. Dedicated to W. P. Andrew, Esq., Chairman of the chide and- Euphrates Railway Companies.. "After the very able work of Mr. W. P. Andrew, in advocacy of the huphrates Route to India, any further publication of opinions in support thereof mie.ht almost have been considered an act of supere r,gation, but we have much pleasure in noticing an anonymous writer, whose views give full corroboration to those recently enunci ated by Mr. Andrew. The object of the write-, who has evidently given great attention to the subject, and possesses a vast L;niiiviedge of the requirements of India, is to prove the practicabiliry of the opinions set forth by General Chesney for the junction of the Medi terranean and the Persian Gulf via the valley of the river Euphrates." —Observer. - !Auden : Edward Stanford, 6, Charing-cross ; and all Booksellers.

"The works between Andover and Salisbury are fast progressing towards completion, and it is intended . to open that line throughout to Salisbury in the month of March, 1'57. The Royal Agricultural Society have resolved to hold their next annual meeting at Salisbury in July, 1837, On an assurance to this effect. " In May last the company launched their second new steamer, the Havre, the cost of whieli it is proposed to liqu' date by instalments out of revenue. The present half year's revenue has not been charged with any such instal ment, but it has borne 5,000'. and upwards of the balance standing to the charge of the Alliance—the remainder of that balance having been supplied by the sale of disused ♦essels. By means of •these two splendid steamers, the traffic between Southampton and Havre is now being most satisfactorily carried on, both as regards economy and speed. The passage by sea is reduced to an average of about eight hours and a quarter, and tho through journey be tween London and Paris by that rodte has lately been per formed in 16 hours. "It has become necessary at the present time to call the attention of the proprietors to the unpaid share capital of the company. "The item in the annexed account capital uncalled, 404,0101. 6s. Bd.,' consists of shares which have from time to time fallen into, or been left in the hands of the corn pany, and on which nothing has been paid. The company's powers for borrowing for general purposes are exhausted, whilst the completion of the lino from Andover to Salis bury, the enlargement of the Nine Elms station, autho rised in 1855, and (if the present increase of traffic con tinues) the provision of additional rolling stock, and the outlay required for additional station accommodation and sidings, will in the next two years call for a considerable expenditure on capital account. The powers acquired by the company in their recent acts are such as authorise the disposal of this unpaid share capital in almost any form (Loewe' most favourable for the company's interests. After giving the subject muei consideration, the directors re commend that of this capital an amount sufficient to give the present registered proprietors of the ordinary stock of the company 5 per cent, on the amount of their respective holdings, shall he distributed amongst them at par, on the following terms and conditions, viz. :- 25 per cent., or one-fourth, to be paid down on distribution, 25 per cent., or one•fourtb, „ on January 1, 1857, 25 per cent., or one-fourth, July 1, 1857,- 25 per cont., or one-fourth, January 1, 1858, to bear dividend according to the amounts paid and time of payment.

To get tuose lighters and small craft into Genitchi harbour they had to pass a bar, whereon was never found more than 'q feet, and often as little as 411. Gin.

We landed on tha_Tchongar peninsula, and stood within a few feet of their road.; yet the deepest water we eves' found in any part of that sea was 4ft. Gin,, and for miles it was quite as much as we could do to get our light boats _through seaweed and slime. I be lieve there is 7ft. or 9ft. cf water under the centre of the bridge, but there is either a bar or a most tortuous lhannel between it and Genitchi. That there is a space 4f water between the peninsula of Tchongar (at its northern part), and a point three Miles west of Genitchi, few who have ilooked at it from a ship's masthead can doubt; and, indeed, we often saw Russian boats tra versing it. With respect to the current always setting into the Sivash or Putrid Sea, we found it vary very luch i anl.d9gend Jnainiy.upou..,the . direction. of the - wind-; , An east wind would cause the water to flow into it from the Sea of Azoff, and 'raise the depth about two feat upon the bar ; whereas, with the lightest air from the westward, the current immediately turned and the waters fell.

"I will trespass no further upon your space than to ex press my regret that your correspondent, much more British officers, should have lent themselves to farther the propagation of Russian fictions, by asserting that the sluadron under the late Captain Lyons did little or no damage to Arabat Fort.

Although having no men to spare, General VVrangel's 13,000 men would have forced us to be rapid in our movements, and perhaps given the enemy a better victory than that of Arabat, all we can pray is that they may never win a better one.

A congratulatory address was presented, and a public ,breakfast given, to the above distinguished officer, at Leamington, on Tuesday, when " At recent meetings discussions have arisen as to the liability of the company to double the Southampton and Dorchester line, provided the Board of Trade should so re quire. In the course of the present year memorials, nume rously and influentially supported, have been presented to that board, praying their interference, which have led to several communications between the Directors and the Board of Trade. After giving their best attention to the subject, the directors have thought it advisable to under take the doubling of 20 miles of this line during the ensuing twelve months. " The Staines and Wokingham line was opened for traffic on the 4th of June, as far as Ascot, and on the 9th of July to Reading, and bids fair to become an important feeder to the Windsor line. The line is workedby this company, under temporarya arrangement between the two companies, until the requirements of the traffic are more fully de veloped, when it is proposed that a permanent working agreement should be concluded. "The branch line from Dorchester to Weymouth is now nearly completed, and will shortly be opened for traffic. It will be completed with the mixed gauge, and this company has the right to work their trains over it to the town of Weyruoutb. This company, pursuant to the provisions of the act as to the mixed gauge, have also laid down an addi tional single rail for a distance of 8 miles from Dorchester towards Wareham, to accommodate the broad-gauge traffic. "The legislation of the present session of Parliament has been very important as respects this company's interests. " The Exeter Extension Bill has passed into a law, and the directors have satisfaction in adding that not a single clause has been inserted, nor arrangement enforced with any landowner or other local interest, of an onerous charac ter. The proprietors, therefore, may justly feel that the works will be executed (and especially as regards the pecu liar privileges accorded last year respecting the capital), under circumstances much more free from objection than usual. _ General WINDHAM said—Ledies,and gentlemen, this is the second great compliment that I have reclived at the hands of my friends, the inhabitints of Leamington.' The first was a spontaneous burst of good feeling on my arrival. This, which i 3 more elaborate and more ma-. tared, is, I am happy to gay, more honourable to me ; and I think, as it is not only addressed to m yself but to the army, it is more honourable to you. Before I pro ceed to touch upon any part of the service.that Per .the army performed in the Crimea, I wish to thank the cernmittee of management for having elloqen to give; as an entertainment, a breakfast instead of a dinner. The choice of this entertainment allowed us to have the plea sure of the company of a great many of the ladies, and a vast portion of the beauty and youth of Leaming ton ; and I am perfectly certain that I speak- the senti ments, not only of myself, but of every soldier here present, that the committee could not have selected a better method of showing respect to me or them. If I were of a suspicious nature, I might perhaps conclude that so many young ladies did not come here to look at a married man turned forty, but that they came here exhibiting their eyes to my gallant aide•de-camp, Cap tain Earle, and my young friend Lieut. Musgrave, and other gallant young heroes assembled at this table. (Laughter.) Let me add, also, if my suspicions be cor rect, that they could not show a juster or more proper compliment to the young officers of the army who served so ardently and well, whom fortune has not permitted to attain the same benefits which I have reaped, but whose services were just as dangerous for 'them to per. form as ever mine were to me. (Loud cheer..) There are scores of regimental officers that I am aequaine , el with whose services, I am perfectly convinced, were quite equal to mine, simply with this difference, that, I was an older officer, and, therefore, had more men under me. I served chiefly' on • the Staff, but I had' also a good deal of duty to perform in the ,trenches, and, therefore, know remarkably well the, difference of the two services. I . do think that those officers who went through the whole campaign in the. :reechoes of Sebastopol deserve the thanks of every individual in this cduntry. It is all mighty fine to canter (Liven to the trenches for a few minutes, as I did before I was made a brigadier-general. It is very well to expose , oneself to sudden danger, which is soon over and soon forgotten ; but it is a different thing to go day after day, night after • night, through dirt, wet, misery, destitute of c?mfort, yet always to have sufficient moral force to say that, be cause it is my duty, I will not give in. (Cheers;)` That is precisely what the unnoticed regimental officers did during the seige of Sebastopol. I am sure there is no body at this table who would`not have thought I should have been the last man to receive such an address, and to have met with such a reception as I have experienced an WS 0CC592014 -,-.11-ad my old friend and late commas= der, Sir George Cathcart, been pointed out as the man to have stood here, to receive the applause of hundreds —[A voice : Of thousands]—no one would have been surprised. His general character as a soldier, his pre vious services were so well known, that nothing would have been more likely ; but that I, a humble individual, who has received, certainly, his friendly shake of the nand and his desire for my advancement, but that of no one else—l say that, perhaps, the last man in Vac whole British army that any one would have selected to be honoured by such a reception would have been myself. (Cheers.) There were a vast number of other officers connected with this locality whom one might have sup posed to be infinitely more likely than myself to have stood here. There were the Adamses, the Shirley's— men of my own standing—the Shuckburghs, the Somer villes, and other young men, many of whom, I am sorry to say, it has pleased Providence to remove ; but I may thank God for a most remarkable interposition. I landed in the Crimea on the 14th of September, 1854. I was pre sent at Alma, where I had nothing to do. I was present at Balaklava, where I bad almo , t as little to do. I was present at the attack of the 26th of October, where again I had nothing to do ; and, lastly, I came down to the battleof Inkerman, where I had a gooddeal to do. (Laughter.) And I hope that, as I received the approbation of those placed above me for doing my duty, I did that duty well. The Fourth Division lost all its generals, killed or wounded ; 740 men and officers were killed, out of 2,200; and I, unfortunately, had to write my own despatch, and, perhaps, was fool enough not to make the best of it. However, it is a great loss for an officer to lose a general on such an occasion. It passed on, however, and I went through the siege doing my duty, not having really anything to perform more than other people, until I came to the attack upon the Redan. I should wish you all distinctly to understand, that I was no volunteer for that assault. I was ordered to do it, and I did no more than I was ordered to do. I led the Second Division, but the Light Division led the attack. I have seen constantly in the papers that I absolutely led the whole assault. I did not, and I wish my country men to know it. I never was a man that asked for false honours. (Cheers.) A•brave and gallant iran—a War wickshire man, moreover—tossed up with me for the choice of lead. That man was Col. Unett—the son of old Mr. Unett, of Birmingham. He won the toss, and chose the lead. I have nothing to say but that I had: not the choice, and I will even go so far as to say that I do not know that I should have chosen the lead, even if I could. (Laughter.) One thing is quite clear, however, that I did not lead it. Col. Unett was displaced in the morn ing by Geu. Shirley, who came to take the command of the brigade, and I belieVe the lead ultimately fell to Major Welsford, of the 97th, and to Colonel Handcock. These gallant officers fell, and though the Light Division that led us went on gallantly, one thing is certain, that if those two officers had not fallen, the men might have rushed into the battery, and the whole thing have been altered, but as no one can control his life, so no offi cer, however brave, can control a stubborn fight of that kind. Col. Unett was badly wounded in the attack. He shook hands with me on the ground. After he was drawn 1,500 yards from the Redan he was struck again through the back with a shell and killed. As far as regards my own business in the assault, I followed close upon the Light Division, entered the battery, did , all that I could to get things into a proper form, and I am happy to say that my exertions met with the appro val of that respected officer and Commander•in-Chief, Sir James Simpson. I also met the approval of my gallant friends, Lieut.-General Markham and Sir Wm. Codrington, As all those officers have thought proper to give me due thanks for what I did, I think you will excuse me troubling you further upon the subject. Often as I have looked over the bloody list of all the separate parties of those who were cut off—the leaders being absolutely killed, with the exception of Colonel Lysons (of the 23d), Colonel Maude (of the 3d Buffs), both of whom gallantly went on and were wounded, and Major Lewis—l say that, when I look over that list, I congratulate myself on having escaped. Though that day was a heavy day for many, it was a fine day for me ; for it brought me before the notice of a favourable pub lic nod well-feeling a-my. (Cheers ) Her Majesty deigned to make me a Major-General. That gave me the command of the fourth division ; ands lastly, with. out any application of my own, I was made Chief of the Staff. (Cheers.) Why her Majesty should have chosen me for the Chief of the Staff I am not competent to say. All I can say is, that I never asked for the appointment, nor should I have taken it unless Sir William Codring ton had especially a-ked me to do se. I have known that officer for many years, and if a man who has served under him may t e al • ved to make a remark concerning him, I would plainly sly that I thoroughly respect him, both as a man and a soldier. I think the country will learn, and soon discover, that they have in him a good and valuable public servant. It is not for me to say more on that subject. As far as regards the duties of Chief of the Staff, I did not find them near so difficult to perform as' I had anticipate]. Tee truth is, that I had at headsparters a very able body of officers. Witb the exception of Colonel Herbert, Colonel Blayne (both good men), and myself, the others were oil hands at the business, and I must say that Colonel Pakenham is one of the best officers to fill the position of Adjutant- General in her Majesty's service. Therefore, re ceiving as I did the assistance of such an able staff—and Sir William Codrington commanding his own army, which he certainly did—l had nothing to do but merely to refer points to him which I thought questionable, and then convey to ray junior officers the orders to be carried out. I found the task a most easy one ; and, therefore, " All the arrangements with the Salisbury and Yeovil Company, although special in their character, and beyond the esual practice of Parliament under similar circum stauce, have, so far as the standing orders would permit them to be brought before Parliament, been sanctioned, and have now the force of law; but this company's option, under the agreement, concluded after the special meeting of January last, of requiring a lease of the Salisbury and Yeovil line, and to purchase it on the terms then specified, could not be obtained in the present year. " Two branches have been sanctioned from the South ampton and Dorchester Railway, viz.—from a point near the Brokenhurst station to Lymington, and from a point near the Wimborne station to Blandford. Both are to be constructed by independent companies, at their own ex pense, and each act contains provisions authorising the conclusion of working arrangements with this company for a period of ten years. " With the Lymington Company, the directors have, subject to the approval of the proprietors, entered into an agreement to maintain and work their railway, when com pleted, at 50 per cent. of its gross receipts. This arrange inent, and its incidental details, the pr o p r i e t ors w ill b e re quested to sanction at the coming meetin g . Th e di rec t ors suggest that powers to negotiate with the Blandford Branch Company, should also be accorded to them. " An act has also been passed for const ruc ti ng a market house at Salisbury, at a short distance from the terminus of thelßasingstoke and Salisbury Branch, with a railway to connect it with that line. These works are to be wholly constructed and maintained at the cost of their proprietors, and by largely increasing the market accommodation at Salisbury they cannot fail to contribute to the traffic of the Salisbury and Yeovil and the railways of this company. The works being col demoted on the same gauge as this company's lines, it has peen arranged that the Market Branch Line shall be worked by this company, and that they shall have the control of all the persons employed thereon. These terms the directors will request power at the ensuing meeting finally to conclude. " By the act of the present session the Brighton Com pany aro authorised to accept a lease from the Wimbledon and Croydon Company of their line of railway, about 81 miles in length. The rent is 1,8201. per annum, being at the rate of interest of 4 per cent. on the cost of the line. The directors have, subject to the sanction of the proprie tors, agreed with the directors of the Brighton Company that this company shall participate equally in this lease-- an arrangement which must be mutually advantageous. The sanction of the proprietors will bo asked thereto at the ensuing meeting, the Brighton proprietors having at a recent meeting confirmed it." The following is the report of the locomotive and car riage superintendent : " Locomotive Department, Nine Elms, July 10, 1851. TO THE CHAIRMAN AND DIRECTORS OF THE LONDON AND SOUTH-WESTERN RAILWAY COMPANY. " Gentlemen,—The cost of maintaining the engines, car riages, and waggons, during the half-yearjust expired, has been at the rate of 10.791 per train mile, the corresponding period of last year being 10.66 d. The slight increase arises from the traffic having been considerably heavier, and the goods train miles 21 per cent. greater. " The stock of engines has been maintained in an efficient condition, and this is substantiated by the fact of the pi. loting being reduced from 29,255 to 14,058 miles, or at the rate of 10 per cent. "The average consumption of coals and coke has been 21.71 b per train mile ; but upon the quantities being sepa rated, and the coals reduced to their coke value, the rate for passenger and goods trains would be 18.31 b per mile.

STAMPED 5D when the army arrives in the country in such good order, I beg distinctly to state that the credit of that is not due to me. I hold the opinion that generals of division should thoroughly discipline their own divisions ; and in this case they did it. I do not know whether the generals of division have any fault to find with me, but certainly I have no fault to find with them. They did their duty well. (Cheers.) I have now to-thank Lady Somerville and many of my friends near me for the kindness shown to my wife and children during my absence ; and I can only add that, if any of my humble performances, corn. 'bined with the gratifying and splendid reception which I have met with since my return to England, should in. duce her Majesty's Government to employ me again on active service, I sincerely hope that on my return I may met with the same reception and the same enthusiasm that I have experienced on this occasion. (Great cheer ing.) 7 1 1113 MILTTIA MUTINY AT NE TENCES ON THE PR'S( The trials of the militiamen charged wit, or attempted murder during the recent mutiny a. ei ei were continued yesterday at the assizes in . that town. The same counsel were engaged as on the preceding day. Thomas Carr, a lance cerporal of the North Tipperary militia, was indicted for firing at a soldier named Chariest Fux, with intent to murder, and also with firing at- a police-constable named Maher ; and he was also charged: generally _with firing at 50 of her Majesty's troops,,--with the intent to commit murder. The Attorney-General, who stated the case, observed that the prisoner was a ringleader in the u nfortunate affair, and he was almost the only one of the :eon-com missioned officers who took any part in the riots, the others having all endeavoured to bring back the m en to order. Several witnesses having been examined, Mr. Johnstone addressed the jury on the part of tie pris - mer, and contended that there was not sufficient evi-' donee to identify him as having taken any active part ; that he could not be said to have fired ab-any of the in dividuals specifically named in the indictment, and that there was nothing to show the guns were loaded. The prisoner received an admirable character from the Rev. Mr. S ua 1( rt. Judge Moore charged the jury, who in a few minutea returned a verdict of guilty on the third count—for firing with intent to murder some of the military. Cornelius Ryan, TV. Cummins, and E. Laffan, were next arraigned upon an indictment for shooting at the military escort, in Barrack-street, with intent to murder. Mr. Johnstone said that having read the irf zmations he would not trouble the court or waste time, as the prie Boners were willing to plead guilty. They threw them selves upon the mercy of the court and of the executive, and for the commis 4ion of the acts of which they had been guilty they now felt sincere regret. They acted under the excitement of the moment, and under the idea that they were to have been deprived of some of the advan tages promised to them when enlisting. They were now deeply sensible of having acted wrongly. The Attorney-General felt bound to say that the pri soners acted very properly in adopting the very judicious advice given to them. As pnblie prossentor he felt bound to have the law vindicated, and tfishowyen, whether in arms or ervilianieettiat they anuld not transgress the law without being puniiihed ;'letit he *Geld .not i objections to affect the merciful consiaeration of t exe cutive on the part of the men who pleaded guilty, or who had been concerned in the proceedings that day investi gated. . . Judge Mooreconsidered that the prisoners had adopted eliewietert poem in pleading guilty, and in' the'theveve cases previously tried it would have been impossible for tha jury to have forind any. other 'Verdicts than those they had -returned. Major Frew, of the Tipperary Militia, gave the pri soner Ryan a _good character, as did also Dr. Bagwell ; of the same regiment. Samuel Lawrence, a civilian, was then Dliced at the 'bar, charged with exciting Stephen Brown, the man convicted of the murder of the soldier Patrick Curley, to the commission of that crime. The Attorney-General applied for the postponeMent of the trial until the next assizeis;' the case not being yet sufficiently-ratede out ; and he took that opportunity to "express his thanks to the military authorities' for the great prudence and discretion which they had shown. • Vhey had displayed an amount of temper and forbear ance which wail most creditable, while at the sapid "'rime .. adopting the most efficient means of protecting life and property from outrage: Their calm decision and wise forbearance, were equally' remarkable, .and from the highest officer to the humblest soldier, their forbearance, ' calmness, and activity in repressing outrage proved most ' exemplary. Hati it not been for this forbearance, the Own might have witnessed more fearful scenes of blood shed, and far more lives have been lost on this melan choly occasion. Their con luct was beyond all praise. Judge Moore fully concurred in the very high opi n ion expressed as to the forbearance, discretion, and humanity displayed by the military. The Attorney-General wished to add that there existed ' great mieapprehensien as to the treatment of the militia. The Lord-Lieutenant had been always most anxious not mprely to do the Men justice, but to do more for them than they could demand as of right., As to the taking away of a part of the regimental clothing and putting it in store, this was absolutely necessary, for otherwise when called together for training, a great portion of tlwir bounty might have been appropriated to the purpose of new clothing. The anxious desire of the executive was to act towards the whole of the militia forge with libe rality, and in a fair and juer:SPirit. - •, , 4 tHE SENTENCES. John. Bannon and Thomas Carr were then placed at the,bar to receive sentence. His lordship said—You have been tried and convicted for shooting at some.'cf her Majesty's force* with intent to commit murder, and the evidence akainil you laid before the jury was per fectly conclusive a..; to your guilt. It was impossible for them,- or for - dnyvoncientious jury, to come to any o th e r conclusion tban they did. They,haye, however, strongly recommended you . to mercy, and, so far as I have it in my Ward., J Shill bivieffect . to that recommendation. Cornelius Ryan, William Cummins, and Edward Laffad, • -•' you were indicted for a similar offence, and have pleaded guilty, and never did counsel give more judicious or more proper advice. than in recommending you to take the step which you have done. And. I am happy to believe and think that when you - comentid to act upon the advice of that counsel you did so frOm a feeling of -.1 contrition upon your parts, and from regret at ,having been betrayed into the commission of the crime of which you have pleaded guilty. It is very deeply -o be la mented that you were betrayed byany circumstances into such a crime. You resorted to open acts of violence in a populous town, which ended in the deaths of several persons. I feel convinced that you acted under very great excitement indeed. I feel that that excitement was caused by what I hope may turn oat a gross misappre hension, and I would be disposed to go as far as I could to find palliating circumstances in your respective cases, but as judge, sitting here, I have a duty to discharge, and I shall not swerve from it. I must discharge that duty, acting under the obligation of theoath which Ihave sworn. I shall, however, asfar as possible give effect to the recommendation of the jury, and bring under the consideration of the head of the Government whatever can be urged on your part—a nobleman whose humanity and compassionate tenderness and indulgence for the weakness of human failings are only to be equalled by the firmness with which he discharges the duties of his high office. It is not for me to say whether the recom mendation will be attended to. I will give to it every effect, and you have the assurance of the Attorney-Gene ral that he will not offer any obstructions towards a le nient consideration of your respective cases. I have how ever my duty to discharge, and in the discharge of it mint pass upon you a verysevere sentence, and that sen tence is that you each be transported for the term of 15 years. The prisoners looked somewhat astounded at the sen tence, but made no observation. Stephen Burns was then brought up, and asked if he bad anything to say whysentence of death a n d execu ti on should not be passed upon him for the murder of Patrick Curley. He made no reply, but stood calmly and firmly at the bar. +~ Judge Moore then briefly addressed him and said— You have been found guilty of the wilful murder of a soldier of the name of Patrick Curley, and there is no doubt that the unfortunate man lost his life at your hand. He was in the service of her Majesty ; he had served with great distinction, and having escaped all the pe rils of the recent war, he returned home to meet his death by your hand. I believe you acted under cir cumstances, like the other man convicted, of great ex cite., = fy but I am sure you now are deeply conscious that a o'sineitement ought tor an instant to have led you to commit the fearful crime of murder, and that against an unoffending man. Nothing would be further from my wishes than to say anything calculated to aggravate your own feelings at what has passed. Yon are, no doubt, perfectly convinced of the aggravated character of your offence, causing the death of a fellow•creature. However great your crime, it was not attended with all the circumstances of atrocity that have too frequently characterised the offences committed in this county. You did not know the man who fell by your hand. Yon certainly, as far as I can ascertain, bore him no ill-will, but rash and excited—l might say by drink—you de prived that unfortunate soldier of his life. I have no power to give effect to the recommendation to mercy of the jury. It is not in my power in the slightest degree to alter or vary that awful sentence of the law, but the recommendation of the jury will be laid by me before the head of the Government, but it is not in my power to hold out to you any hopes. I cannot say there is no hope, but all I can say is that I will transmit the re commendation of the jury to his Excellency the Lord- Lieutenant. The learned judge then proceeded to pass sentence of death and execution upon a day to be subse. quently named. The men found guilty of attacking the military near T . emplemore, at the races, were sentenced to ten months' imprisonment. Judge Moore intimated that he had altered his opi nion as to the validity of the three counts in the indict ment charging the Tipperary Militia rioters with firing generally at her Majesty's troops without naming the latter specifically ; and he would not reserve the case for the Court of Criminal Appeal, should his views after full consideration remain the same as at present. The trial at the Kildare Assizes relative to the Italian professorship of Trinity College has not yet terminated. STOPPAGE OF THE FRASCATI RAILWAY.---A letter from Rome of the 24th states that the railway from that city to Fras2ati has been stopped by order of the Govern ment. It wag, after its opening, at work for a week, during which time the whole affair was a continued sac .cession of mismanagement. On the 21 s t it was c losed in order that an examination into its construction may take place, after which, if the result be satisfactory, it will be again open to the public. THE SIKIIS.—The Government of the Punjaub has just published a report upon the census taken on the last day of 1855. This document, among other facts of interest, contains the announcement that the Sikh reli gion is expiring. There are no Sikhs by birth, disciples being initiated when able to answer for them selves. Since the annexation of the country the number of the initiated ha-; gr.:dually declined. No longer a dominant caste, the Sikhs find their religious isolation < inconvenient and burdensome. They have therefore ceased to initiate their children, who remain pure Hin doos, and are not taught to reverence the grunth. , So rApid has been the charge that it is believed the next generation will witness the total extinction of the creed. The division of Lahore which contains Uniritsur, the sa cred city of the Sikhs, and which comprises their- strong. hold, comprises 3,500,000 inhabitants ; of these only 200,000, or less than 6 per 9ent., are Sikhs.

On Tuesday evening a splendid dinner was given at the Cutlers' Hall, by the inhabitants of Sheffield, to the officers of the 4th Royal Irish Dragoon Guards, on the occasion of. their arrival in that town on their return from the Crimea. Wm. Fawcett, Esq., mayor, presided, and amongst the guests present, by invitation, were Major-General the Earl of Cardigan, the Right Hon. Lord Wharheliffe, the Hon. J. S. Wortley, Col. Hodge, C. 8., commander of the 4th Dragoon Guards, Lieut.-Col. Rainier, in command of the 98th Infantry Regiment, the Celebrated Lieut. Massey (immortalised as ‘,‘ Redan Kaasey r !') and the following /officers of the 41,1 i Dragoon p;nards.:—QaPtains M.EgreagNAfikiertsori and M‘Donc' tier • Lietits.,Shawe and Pousioa totb;g4iiittstrong, • andßaunwarten ; Paymaster Briggs, Adjutant Horran, Surgeon 'Cooper Veterinary-Surgeon Byrne, Quertermaeter Drake, and Ridinginaster Price. The Earl of CARDIGAN responded to a toast in honour of the army and navy, and Col. Hodge acknowledged ' that given to the 4th Dragoon Guards. " Lieut.-Colonel Rainier and the officers of the 98th Regiment," followed, after which J. J. Seam, Esq,, rose and said—Mr. Mayor, ems lords, and gentlemen, I rise to propose the health of certainly not the least distinguished guest at our table to-day. In times of peace toe soldier; as well as the man of science and of business, often finds the road to distinction both long and tedious ; but it has been the good fortune of the young man whose health I have to propose to you to have already in early life obtained an imperishable name. (Loud and protracted applause.) Gentlemen, I propose this toast to you with great emotion; for who can Lek at that young man., — r (laud cheers)—who can thinker that young man, and recollect the dreadful conflict at •the Roden, and also eiate with it his sustained courage, his noble patriotism, and not give an English welcome to Lieut. 'Massey ? (luthusiastic cheering.) 'He has already laid his coun t try under an obligation —an obligation which that coun try feels pleasure iu repaying, and we may thank Pro vidence for having preserved his life, which I hope will be honourably spent, and that the close of it may be as distinguished as tbse beginning. (Cheers.) I pr.e; pose the health of Lieut. Massey. (Drunk with three times three, led off by Alderman Matthews, amidst the meat enthusiastic ane prolonged cheering.) Lieu t. MASSEY—(applause)—Mr. Mayor, my lords, and gentlemen,—l beg to return yon my hearty thanks for the great honour you have done me in inviting me to this banquet, and for the kind manner in which Ire. Smith has proposed my health, and the generous and hea,rLy manner in which it has been received. (Loud applause) Ido not know that I deserve such a cumpli• ment. ('Cheers.) Imu sure I simply did my duty, and onPy :what any other officers, pieced in my positmne . , would have done—(applause)—for we all felt that the hoinour of old England was in our keeping— ( enthusiastic chisers)—and that we would have died a thousand deaths , to hage . preserved it untarnish e d.

(Applause.) I will .no trespass upon your time any longer, and again re tu4n you my most sincere thanks f or ie honour you hake done me. (Lieutenant Massey resumed his seat .anlid continued bursts of the most enthusiastic cheers:) The remaining toasts included one to the Earl of Car diAan, his lordship speaking at some length in reply. i THE CHARGE OF EMBEZZLEMENT BY A. BANK MANAGER.-COMMITTAL OF TBE ACCUSED. TEWKESBURY, WEDNESDAY. The final examination of Mr. Cornelius Evans, late tri4nager of'the Tewkesbury branch of the Gloucester shire Banking Company, took place tc•day at the Town hall here, before Nathaniel Chandler, E-q., deputy mayor of the borough, and a full bench of magistrates. The charge against the prisoner, it will he recollected, is that of having embezzled moneys of the bank to the amount of 3,2301. during last year, and up to the period of his being succeeded, in April last, by the present manager, Mr. Appleby. When the prisoner was be fore the magistrates on the former occasion further in vestigation was deferred, in order to give him an op portunity of retaining counsel. Mr. Huddlesto❑ now appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Skinner (both of the Oxford Circuit) for the accused. The court was crowded to excess during the inquiry. The evidence of the witnesses examined on the former inquiry was repeated, and the witnesses were severally cross-examined by Mr. Skinner. Mr. Appleby, the new manager, described how the discrepancy was discovered in the accounts when he went through them in the beginning of the present month. The deficiency was discovered on the 2d July. He saw the prisoner that morning, when he told him there would be a deficiency to the amount of 1,7501., and offered Mr. IL Brown, M.P.'s cheque for 1,0001. to his (Evans's) debit. Evausi said nothing about the re maining sum of 1,5001. still deficient. Mr.Maitland, the managing direotor, spoke to dis agreements between him and. th prisoner on account of Evans wishing to extend the operations of the bank by a more liberal system of credit, which witness did not countenance. When he examined the quarterly balances with Evans, they appeared correct, the deficiency was not discoverable, and nothing was said about a lean of 1,0001. having been advanced to Mr. H. Brown, M.P. Evans's sa'ary commenced at 2501., with house-rent and taxes free, and was gradually increased to 4001. Had no idea of any defalcation when he left. Mr.Chadburn, clerk at the Gloucestershire Branch Bank at Tewkesbury, having affirmed his former evi dence as to the mode in which the balances were "cooked" by him for the last three quarters ending March, 1850, by Evans's orders, viz., by falsifying the balances due to some four or five customers to the extent of 1,7501., deposed that he believed Evans told him that there was security for the advance to Mr. Brown, M.P. Mr. Brown's two cheques for 5001. each, which Evans handed in at the beginning of the present July, when Mr. Appleby discovered the defalcations, were dated April, 1855. Mr. S. Baker, chairman of the directors of the bank, deposed that in consequence of what had transpired he went to the defendant at his residence at Beedon on the 4th instant, and asked him to explain the deficiency of the 1,5001., when Etvans admitted that there was 'a " difference " of 3,2501., stating that he had already put right 1,7501. of that amount ; but he added, " I am not disposed to give you any explanation of the 1,5001." In consequence of t his Evans was afterwards taken into custody. On cross:Alkavination, Mr. Baker stated that Evans held ten shares in the , bank. The defendant was not dismissed from his •situation, he resigned it, and when he left, a sum of 3001;, was given to bun by way of gra. tuity, to cover any claim he might have upon the bank in respect of repairs, &e., done to the house. The bank had no idea at that time that there was any deficiency in the accounts. Mr. Skinner then addressed the bench for the accused, urging the absence of all felonious motive in the transac tion of 1,7501. As to the 1,5001., Mr. Evans might probably at thie proper time make some explanation. The prisoner, being then formally called upon, said he should reserre his defence. He was ti en fully committed for trial at the nest Gloucestershire assizes and it was i n ti ma t e d t h at b a il would be accepted for his appearance—himself in 2,000/. and two sureties in 1,0001. each. A RUSE JUN PRIEST FASTING IN THE CiarCASIIS.—The Russian Clovernment has for some time installed priests of the Russo-Greek Church in Ossetia. According to the notion of: these priests it constitutes a deadly sin to eat meat, or: any animal produce, such as milk, eggs, &c., during 'th.bir long fasts ; and they have begun to preach fasting to their new flocks. But the Ossetian men were scandalis ed at this. " God," said they, "is very sparing of corn 'to us on our mountains, and has left u-i entirely to be si ipported by our herds and flocks. We shall die of hung er if we abstain for 40 days from the enjoyment of t:nat which God has given us to support life. But if' it be really God's will that we should fast, he will keep us in' health. -and strength, without any food ; and iii order to see if this be really the case, we will make the experi ment .on yovi priests." A tribe near Vladikaukas made the fi• cat experiment of shutting up their parson. No bread , was •given to him, but a glorious piece of roast beef, bake d in butter and grease, was laid before him on the t Able.. The unhappy curator of souls was a good deal distr essi..-ti, hut he managed to hald out the first da y . On the moon d day, however, the good Pope was overcome by ' ;he e‘ssau l ts o f th e fl es h, an d attacked the joint of bee fas :bravely as if it had been the eve of the carnival. H ereup t el the Ossetian chiefs joined h im, lau g hin g hear ti IY. " You see now," they said, "that it is the will ()f God • we s ho u ld enjly, at all seasons, the gifts he has presentet 1 to us." And at these words they sat down 1 ' beside tt ~ e shepherd of their souls, ani helped. him to despatch the roast beef he had attacked. The strict accuracy of this occurrence has been guaranteed to me on the be st authority.—Travels in r traiec, ike,, from the aernient c f Dr. Mara; , Wagner. uiet to-da;rp )usiness tb at of yestg s• ing a re TY ther firm er• 97h—FA tst Great W es• re Juncta )n, loing a ye ry London IQ 1 4, )uyers 83A II oral Post-ca e a dua E -I,!az ,Weekly ten Weekly ..

SILK EXPORTS FROM CHINA. The rapidly increasing consumption of China silk in Europe must have considerably exceeded the most san guine expectations, and if, as is probable, under the prospect of peace, the consummation is to be still• fur ther extended, is our supply likely to meet the demand I We think this doubtful, even with our present prospects of a very fine crop, and upon which point all well in furmed native merchants are agreed. The first crop is reported as likely to yield eight fun—that is, from each catty of silkworms' eggs the product will be eight cat ties of cocoons, and which is admitted to be a full crop; for the success of the second a n d th ir d cro ps there is seldom much apprehension, as the weather is always more favourable than for the first ; we may therefore primps not be considered as over estimating the export of next season if we put itat 63,000 bales ; and, although this will be beyond all precedent, we think the wants of the West will nearly or quite equal the supply, even on the above estimates. During the season now closing our export will have reached nearly 55,000 bales, and, although much of it has cost very high rates, the result will on the whole be satisfactory. Of old silk we be lieve there never was a smaller stock at Hoo-chaou, and, if the report o f na ti ve b ro k ers may be relied upon, the stock of raw silk is entirely exhausted, though a few hundred bales of throwns remain on band. We must therefore look entirely to the new crop to supply our wants for the corning season ; and the following state ment of exports from China for the past five years, against which we place the deliveries in England for the same number of years, will show that consumption is progressing in a greater ratio than supply. Our state ments of China exports are made from the Ist of July to the 30th June, while the deliveries int England are made up from the Ist January to the 31st December in each year :—There were exported film China to En rape, in 1850 51, 22,100 bales; in 1851-52, 23,000 bales; in 185253, 25,600 ; in 1853-54, 62,000 bales; and in 1854.55, 51,500 bales ; including shipments from Shanghai and Canton t o F rance direct, and from Shanghai only (a small quantity) to India. The deli veries in England were during the year 1851, 21,467 bales ; in 1852, 24,456 bales in 8 bales is 1853, 185 3, 55,295 3 ba1e5. 3,926b From ales ;in the lB is4stsoi 51,427 bales es ; and to the let of March in 1856 there were delivered in London alone 9,814 bales of China silk, or at the rate of 58,884 b a l es per annum, exclusive of the deliveries in France, from the direct importations, and which latter have r been vari ous l y est i mated at from 4,000 to 6,ooo.bales. Phis trade i s ev id ent l y on t h e in crease if, therefore, we take the mean of these esti mated imports to France, and a dd them to the above rate of deliveries in England, we h ave a consumption of China silk in Europe estimated at 64,000 bales, or some thing in excess of our probable export for the coming season. With these prospects and high quotations from London, added to the high rate of exchange ruling here, we are apprehensive th at our open i ng rates' may not prove very encouraging to early ship pers, as it must be borne in mind th a t even w i t h pe a ce prospects at home high prices may check con sumption in some degree ; it w i ll th erefore require groa t caution on this side ; yet we doubt not, it the home markets are not swamped by excessive ship ments early in the season, as was the ease i n 185 2 . 53, the results will be as satisfactory as the above figures would lead shippers to expect. —North Chind (Shanghai) Herald.
