To-day some 2,300 soldiers, sailors, and Marines, re cently returned from the Crimea, and now stationed in this town, were entertained at a grand banquet provided by the gentry and other inhabitants of the town and neigh bourhbod, in grateful recognition of their memorable ser vices and sufferings during the war with Russia, and as a token of welcome on their return to their native country. The entertainment was held in a spacious pavilion, erected expressly for the occasion, at an expense of about 2001., in the Governor's parade ground, situate within the for tifications of the town, and, the day being remarkably auspicious, a great concourse of the inhabitants, with the gentry and others for many miles round, were present to witness the ceremony. The recipients of this spontaneous act of homage were all medal men, and many of them were also decorated with the insignia of the French Le gion of Honour. They included 900 soldiers of the 20th Regiment of Foot, 45 of the 21st Royal Fusiliers, 400 of the Royal Marine Light Infantry, 400 of the Royal Marine Artillery, 400 of the 97th Foot, 35 Royal Sappers and Miners and Royal Artillerymen, with a few soldiers belonging to other regiments, making up the whole of the troops now in the garrison here. There were also a number of men selected from the crews of the Victory, her Majesty's yacht, the Admiralty yacht, the Princess Royal, Caesar, Colossus, Perseverance, Dauntless, Urgent, Gorgon, Vigilant, Dragon, Lapwing, Cormorant, Bulfinch, Pigmy, Fanny, Raleigh, St. Vincent, Soahorse, and Fire Queen. The town throughout the day wore quite a holiday air. Banners floated from some of the public buildings and private houses, the church bells were rung and grins fired at intervals. At 1 o'clock, the hour fixed for the dinner, the men belonging to the feet and the several regiments were marched to the pavilion, under the command of their respective officers, and preceded by bands of musk; and when they assembled within the building the scene was extremely animated. The interior of the pavilion was taste fully decorated with banners and other naval and military emblems. Over the seat assigned to the chairman the flags of the allied nations were intertwined, and the words " Welcome Home," "Honour to the Brave," and the names of Sebastopol and Inkermann inscribed in the centre. The front of a gallery designed for the accommodation of ladies, which ran across the centre of the building, bore the inscription " Florence Nightingale," in large letters of gold on a white ground. Dr. Englodue, a gentleman ',resident in the town, and held in high esteem, had been unanimously elected by the managing committee to preside on this occasion, and he assumed the chair at 1 o'clock, supported on his right and left by Lord George Lennox, Sir George Seymour, Vice- Admiral and Commander-in-Chief; the Rev. J. P. M`Ghie, vicar of Portsmouth ; Admiral Superintendent Martin ; Major-General Mercer, Royal Marines, and other gentle. men. Major-General Sir R. Dacres, Captain S. C. Dacres, Mr. John Martin, of Cambridge House, Commodore the Hon. Henry Keppel, Captain G. H. Seymour, Flag-Lieu tenant Malcolm, Flag-Lieutenant Brandreth, and several of the municipal authorities were also 'present. General Sir Harry Jones, General Sir W. F. Williams, and Colonels Teesdale, Lake, and other gentlemen, invited to the officers' banquet of to-morrow (Wednesday), arrived at Portsmouth in the course of the day, and were in the G overnor's parade ground witnessing the ovation to the troops and seamen, as did also Lady Seymour and family, with many others from the ladies' gallery. The non-commissioned officers of the several regiments---a remarkably handsome body of men— occupied a table assigned to their especial use, immediately in front of the chair, and one of their number, Serjoant- Major R. McCallum, of the Royal Artillery, was selected by them to respond to the toast of the army. The dinner, pre pared by Messrs. Bathe and Funge, of the London Tavern, and personally superintended by them, was an exceedingly substantial one, consisting of, among other viands, cold roast, boiled, and corned beef, venison pasty, all in plentiful supply, with hot potatoes and bread. Two quarts of porter formed the specified allowance for each man, but, in fact, they had it ad libitum, and to each of them were given two ounces of tobacco after the repast. Mr. Nightingale, the father of Miss Nightingale, contributed a hamper of game to the festival, with a choice selection of flowers to deco rate the tables. Sir F. Baring, Mr. Charles Osborne of Fareham, and others of the gentry, sent similar presents. Almost the whole of one side of the pavilion was open to the public, and several thousands of them assembled on the ramparts had a distant view of the proceedings in the interior. - - Grace having been said by the vicar, the men sat down to dinner, the band of the 22d Regiment striking up, as they did so, " The Roast Beef of Old England," which 4 , sused --Wa.",trp nce !V "..2...21-h-SALifem....DAM"C? ..f, 7)f an hour, at its contilu - d - on;n (iII g by the sound of a bugle, The CHAIRMAN rose and said—My gallant fellow-coun trymen, whenever and wherever Englishmen assemble there are two duties not only imperative on them, but in which they take delight. The one is to hold in grateful re membrance the land which gave them birth, and the other to revere the monarch who reigns over them. I propose to you, then, " Health and long life to our most gracious Sovereign, Queen Victoria." The toast was drunk with enthusiasm ; the band, played the national anthem, and a royal salute was fired from the ramparts. " His Royal Highness Prince Albert, the Prince of Wales, and the rest of the Royal Family," the next toast given from the chair, elicited a similar manifestation of feeling. The CHAIRMAN then said he had to propose a toast which he was certain they would drink with enthusiasm, because it was the health of his Royal Highness the Duke of Cam bridge, their Commander-in-Chief. He could not avoid telling them on that occasion what civilians thought of his Royal Highness and of them: He would ask them who led them across the Alma when they dashed up its steeps, rushed forward to the Russian batteries, and drove the enemy to the rear of his own entrenchments? (Cheers.) Who led them in the early morn, on the memorable sth of November, when they were outnumbered by 10 to 1— " And foot to foot, and man to man, " They fought as only Briton's can. " Until thy glades, 0 Inkerman ! " Ran ancle-deep in blood." They had no idea what effect their deeds on that day pro duced in England, as related by Mr. William Russell. (Cheers.) Every man's breath was hold, and his pulse beat quicker and quicker as he bent over the glowing nar , naive— " Nothing could daunt, nothing dismay " Those island warriors on that day, " Through all the changes of the fray " No matter how the battle sped, "Unbroken stood the line of red "Majestically firm. " The line of red that never yields, "Victorious in a hundred fields ! " (Cheers.) Their Commander-in-Chief stood by them on that cccasion, amid their dangers and perils, and he was with them still, now that these had passed away. Civi lians believed that he was the right man in the right place. They anticipated he would do all he could to carry out their determination to maintain the British army, not only in the state in which it now was, and in which it always would be, pre-eminent for valour and discipline, but that he would endeavour to carry out the wishes of the British people—so that it should be an army Composed not only of [ free men, but of educated men, well paid and conscien tiously tended. (Cheers.) Ho proposed to them in a bumper—" His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge and the British Army." (Cheers.) _ . Serjeant-Major R. M'CA.LLUM, of the Royal Artillery, responded to the toast. He said he could scarcely find words to express how sincerely his bravo comrades who surrounded him and himself appreciated the honour con ferred on them that day by the gentry and inhabitants of that neighbourhood. (Cheers.) It was a day they would always remember with pleasure. The manner in which they had been welcomed to their homes would help to make them forget the hardships they had endured in the service of their beloved Queen and country—a country they were proud of for its benevolence—a Queen they should ever revere for the deep sympathy she had felt in their su ff e rings, whose honour it was their privilege as well as their right and duty to defend ; from which duty they had never shrunk, and never would shrink, while there was a sabre left in Old England and an arm to wield it, a musket with a hand and heart to use it, or a piece of artillery and men to serve it. (Cheers.) Should they ever again have to fight the battles of their Queen and country, they would stand their ground, and, should ammunition fail, they would again resort to stones, as they did at Inkerman, and try what virtue there was in a British bayonet. (Cheers) Ile wished, in conclusion, to acknow lege the obligations his brave comrades and himself were under to the navy for their support throughout the cam paign. They were with the army at the Alma, and did good service on the enemy's flank; they were with them again at Inkerman, and rendered valuable assistance there; and they were with them during their arduous trench du ties, to their own great credit and the glory of old Eng land. (Cheers.) The CHAIRMAN next asked permission to return to ano ther branch of the public service—the sailors, the brave and the true. None in this country knew better than the people of Portsmouth the power, the might, and the chi valry of the British sailor; and he would ask the men in red how they would have gone to the scone of their glory and their sufferings without the sailors ; or whether they could have maintained their position on the heights of Sebastopol if they had not been watched over and provi sioned by them? Need he ask them to bear witness to the efforts the sailort made and the dangers they went through while they were in the trenches side by side with them ,during the :whole of that dreary winter? Need he sing out the names of Lushingtou and Keppel, or those of PUBLICATIONS. Now ready, 1 vol. B vo. , 10s. bound, gilt edges, L AYS of MEMORY, SACRED and SOCIAL. By a MOTHER. and Sox.

Sy order. J. D. OWEN, ILA., Chairman. Moorsom or of Peel? Need he remind them of the teats they performed in the Sea of Azoff, or of the demolition and destruction of Swea.borg and Bomarsund ? If the two Russian fleets dared not come out to meet them—if they preferred, the one to sink ingloriously beneath the waters of the Euxino in the harbour of Sebastopol, nd the other to skulk behind the impregnable batteries of Cron stadt—they displayed a vast amount of prudence and fore sight, for to a certainty, instead of sleeping in full fathoms five, they would have slept iu fathoms fifty. (Laughter.) In all parts of the world the motto of the navy was "Ready, aye, Ready !" and whether they were employed in protect ing the peaceful pursuits of commerce, or in hunting down the sea robber, their motto was ever the same, and they were never found wanting. He could not forbear referring to the services of the men who defended the heights of Ba laklava—the Royal Marines. They knew their services, and ho should not trouble them by recounting them. They were, in fact, members of both services, for they were almost as much sailors as soldiers ; and that arm of the ser vice included some of the best men whom the Queen had at her command. He gave them, " Sir Charles Wood, the Royal Navy, and the Royal Marines." (Cheers.) Mr. JOHNSON, a warrant officer, acknowledged the com pliment. The CLUBMAN next !said,--My men, I am quite sure you could not meet together on an occasion like this with= out remembering that there were other armies beside your selves who fought side by side with you. Remember that your gallant French comrades were always by your side ; that the brave Turks did their duty valiantly whenever they were nobly led and counselled by your countrymen ; and that the Sardinians on the only occasion on which they were tried behaved manfully. (Cheers.) I think it is possible, judging by the progress of affairs in another part of the world, that it may not be long before you may have to stand shoulder to shoulder with the Sardinians — (cheers) —and remember that, if ever you do so stand with them, it will be to fight for liberty of speech and liberty of thought, the essentials of human progress and civil,isation. (Cheers.) After proposing '` Our brave Allies," which was drunk with acclamation, the chairman proceeded to say :—Have you ever heard of such a person as Florence Nightingale ? (Great cheering.) Has she, and have the ladies associated with her, smoothed the pillows of any of you in the hospital at Scutari, by philanthropic acts and consoling words ? (" Yes, yes.") Miss Nightingale con ceived a great work, and, regardless of all consequences, she left her country and did it. She held fast to her indi viduality, and took no counsel of any one but herself. (Cheers.) Every unselfish action brings with it its own reward, not immediately to the individual, but always to the community. In this instance the reward to Miss Nightingale and her lady companions is that they did what in their conscience they believed to be right, and followed out their darings to a successful issue. To the community the reward is that, apart from the grand example which they have set, we shall see a great philanthropic institu tion spring into existence, which will have for its object the raising a body of trained nurses to attend to the sick and wounded of our army if over it is called on to drive back again the 'ruthless invader of other men's lands, or to fight in defence of the country. (Cheers.) The Chair man concluded by giving " Miss Nightingale and her lady companions at Scutari." A few other toasts followed, and the company separated shortly after 3 o'clock. The troops and seamen were told off to their respective quarters and ships about sunset. Every man among them appeared delighted with the enter tainment, and it was followed by no excess of any kind. On Mr. J. S. Tibbetts, with whom the,banquet originated, the duty principally devolved of making all the necessary rangements for carrying it into full effect. In his capa city of one of the honorary secretaries to the committee of management, and to those gentlemen and himself, the suc cess of the undertaking is wholly attributable. Mr. Higgs officiated as toastmaster. •i DINNER TO CRIMEAN OFFIOERS AT LEDEURY.—A. grand ovation has taken place at Ledbury to lour Here fordshire officers just returned from the Crimea—viz„ Major Bright, 19th Regiment ; Captain Aynsley, R.N. ; Captain Hopton, 211 Regiment ; Captain Chatfield, 49th Regiment ; Lieutenant Biddulph, R.. A.. ; Lieuten ant Hopton, 88th Regiment ; and Assistant-Surgeon Swinhoe, 95th Regiment. The event was eefebrated by an illumination and other marks of rejoicing. At the dinner the chair was taken by Mr. Money Hyrle, eolo nel of the . Herefordshire Militia, who, alter the usual loyal toasts, proposed the healths of the guests of the I day, on which speeches were made by those gentlemen. Major Bright particularly allude] to the services of the lady nurses, and to the comfort i:hich the soldiers ox periecced in receiving . from home the succours which their countrymen had sent out. Capt. Aynsley, R.N., 8841 that,,not being able to induce the enemy to meet t ,htiged to ...nuo their operations to aiding the army. .to tue 6ea of they had nothing to do but to "burn and destroy," fur as soon as they showed themselves the Cossacks ran away and gave them no chance. Captain Money subsequently proposed as a toast "the health of Miss Nightingale." lie sa4l he was at Constantinople seine short time lusi ore the fall of Sebastopol, and took great interest in the hos• pitals of Schtari, where he was surprised at the wonderful organisation, cleanliness, and masterly arrangements de picted in every department, which was astounding even to one who was prepared for much. All this and much mare he attributed in the first instance to Mr. Macdonald, the Times correspondent, and subsequently to Miss Nightin• gale, who, with her gentle companions, had staked their lives and their health, and looked upon rendering service to their country and succour and assistance to the wounded as the greatest privilege allotted to woman. In fact, doing good was part of Florence Nightingale's nature, and it was stated that in her childhood the same desire to give relief to the suffering was portrayed in her character, while her favourite plaything was a model hospital, in which the beds and their patients were laid, with little waxen nurses over whom she presided. STATE OF TRADE. MANCHESTER, Sept. 16.—The market has been with out material change, but has scarcely been so active as on this day week. There is a demand for most markets, except those of India and China, to a moderate amount, and manufacturers are sufficiently supplied with orders to enable them to support prices. For India and China shirtings stocks are accumulating to some extent, and as the demand is very sluggish sellers would have to make a slight concession to effect sales of any moment. For yarns the market has been quiet, but upinners are well under omitract, and prices are quite firm. It is believed there are a good many orders in the market, but that they are kept back to see what change is likely to take place. The demand for bundle yarn for Russia continues, and prices are very firm. Much regret is expressed at the suspension of Mr. John Shawcross, yarn agent, and spinner and manufacturer. The liabilities are reported at 22,0001. Messrs. John Slagg and Co. report,—" There is very little change in the market this week. India and China shirtings are still neglected, and as stocks begin to accu mulate there is more anxiety to sell ; and, though we make no change in our quotations, as the offers making are too few to tot the market, there is a very decided tendency in favour of buyers. For nearly all other kinds, although there is not quite so active a demand as there has been for the last few weeks, manufacturers are sufff ciently well engaged to keep prices perfectly firm " Messrs. George Fraser, Son, and Co. report,—"There is no material change in our market to-day. It is in active ; but, excepting in India goods and yarns, which continue slightly to droop in price, previous rates are steadily maintained. The Russian demand supports the prices with great firmness of the better descriptions of bundle yarns." LEEDS, SEPT. IG. The woollen cloth markets to-day have been scarcely so brisk as those of Saturday last ; but, considering the quantity of new goods brought to market, a fair amount of business has been done —fully as much as is usual on a Tuesday. There is no change in prices, and the heavier kinds of fabrics are in the chief demand. The stocks of seasonable goods are, so far as the public halls are con cerned, nearly exhausted, and redly sale is met for most new goods offered. The woollen market at Huddersfield has been quieter this morning, although several representatives of large London and Glasgow houses have been present. The demand is mostly for cheap union doeskins, with a slight intermixture of better goods. Wool continues firm. SUICIDE OF A SUEGEoll.—lnformation was yesterday forwarded to Mr. Wakley, announcing that Mr. Samuel Holmes, aged 30, of No. 83, Upper Seymour-street, Somers Town, a surgeon dentist, had committed suicide by taking oxalic acid. The unfortunate man, who has lately been brought down by reverse of fortune, was taken up the previous night for being disorderly, but was bailed out, and was ordered at the time to be at the Clerkenwell police•court. An hour after he committed suicide. A MILITARY BED.—The ex*King Louis of Bavaria, who recently attained his seventieth year, was a few days ago waited on a t his chateau at Ludwigshahe, in, the Palatinate, by a deputation from Strasburg, in which place he was born, rho paid their respects to him on the occasion. The King received them most kindly, promised to visit their city, and related to them a curious circumstance. At the time of his birth, in August, 1736, his father, who was then only Prince des Deux i Punts, commanded the Alsace regiment in the service of France, which was in the garrison of Strasburg ; and a fe w days after the birth he was astonished to see that all his grenadiers bad cutoff their beards and moustaches. On inquiring why they had done so, one of the men stepped forward and said they bad determined to beg his acceptance of a velvet mattress for the newly born prince, and that they had stuffed it with their beards and moustaches I " I have the mattress still," cried the King, " and will show it to you !" The mattres , was produced, and the King added, " I do not think Ithat there is i.n the world a bed which can be called more strictly milit; id than that :" 7, 1856, Naval and Military intelligence. The authorities at the Horse Guards have it in con templation to remove the depots of regiments on the British establishment from the Provisional Battalion at Chatham to various parts of the country, it being at present intended to concentrate the depots of those regiments serving at the Cape of Good Hope at Col chester, and those stationed in New South Wales and the other Australian colonies at Ternplemore. Should the proposed arrangement be carried into effect there will be increased accommodation at Chatham for the offi cers and men belonging to the Indian establishment, which would then be considerably increased. In addi tion to several other advantages there would be a con siderable saving effected in the amount proposed to be expended in erecting a new range of buildings for offi cers' quarters at Chatham, and handing over the present quarters of the officers at Chatham barracks to the pay ssrjeants and married soldiers belonging to the Provi sional Battalion, the officers' rooms being much too small for married soldiers and their families.

The depot is under the command of Capt. M. E. Smith and five subalterns. The head-quarters are in New South Wales. The Powerful, 84, screw, Capt. Massie, arrived at the Big Nore about 11 a.m. yesterday. She will come in to-morrow, when she will proceed to Folly Point, Chatham, to pay off. She has been three years in commission. The Lorenzo, barque, of Leghorn, arrived here about ten a.m. from Leghorn, with a general cargo of Italian oak consigned to this dockyard. She bas anchored up the harbour, but, being spring tides, it is expected she will haul into the basin to discharge in a day or two. The Leander, 50, Capt. Price, has arrived to be paid off, without the bulkheads or other internal fittings being disturbed. She is expected to be paid off about Saturday next. The Renown, 90, screw, building, is fast progressing for launching. The Hero, 90, screw. Great nimbers of workmen are employed to complete her ready for launching. The contractors, Messrs. Rigby, are making consider able progress in building a very spacious dock on the site of the old second dock in this yard. The police station-house has been taken down to give more room for carrying on the works, and the old 28 gun ship Rattle snake is appropriated for the accommodation of the police force until a new station-house is built. The Dido, 18 guns, Capt. William H. A. Morshead, CB. arrived at the Nore yesterday front the Pacific (last from Portsmouth), and anchored. After discharg ing her powder, shell, &c., she will go into harbour to be paid off.

Commodore Shepherd, Superintendent of Woolwich Dockyard, yesterday morning inspected the crew of her Majesty's steamer Triton, from the Mediterranean and .n being paid off.

The freight-ship Conservative has sailed from Wool wich Arsenal with ammunition for the Cape. The launch of the Diadem, 32 gun frigate, will take place immediately from Pembroke dockyard. She is the first finished cf the four powerful frigates now in course of construction. The lunortalitii, 60, has been cut in two, and the after part launched some distance down the slip, in order that she may be lengthened and con verted from a sailing into a screw frigate. With this additional length she will be enabled to carry 60 guns of the heaviest calibre, and with the Melpomene, now undergoing the same process, will prove a frigate of the fi st class. The line-of-battle ship, late the Victoria, 116, guns, will require cutting in two and lengthening. She has been ready for launching these three years ; but, owing to the faultiness of her lines, being too short for her beam, she has not been sent afloat. Sir Colin Campbell arrived at the Imperial Hotel in Cork, accompanied by his aide-de-Camp, Cal. Sterling, on Friday morning from Fermoy, where he had been engaged in the inspection of the troops.

'QUILT. / -....-ware some well-timed remarks in the Free man's Journal respecting the great changes in Chancery procedure which have taken plece within the last few years, and the further reforms which are likely to be the result of the labours of the select committee which sat during the late Parlia mentary session. All these changes are regarded as vast improvements upon the old system as it flourished in the time of the Eldons, the Man nerses, and their successors, up to a comparatively recent period. In addition to the report on the Chancery bills, the committee reported on the Encumbered Estates Court, and no serious fault is found with their recommendations, save upon one rather material point, namely, the tribunal to be substituted for the present Commission, which though not exactly defined, may be readily con jectured : "The Court of Cbancery is indirectly suggested, but whether the House of Commons will adopt that tribunal is not quite certain. In that body there is a strong feel ing in favour of the Encumbered Estates Court, and the lawyers will find some difficulty in persuading it to break up a tribunal which has done more good and committed fewer mistakes than any other judicial body ever con stituted in any country. It may be advisable to take away from the Commissioners the right of final appeal in certain cases and vest it in an independent tribunal ; but' to dissolve them altogether, and to institute a new process of disposing of land, ascertaining claims, and distributing the fend, is most dangerous. When an institution works well on the whole, it is wiser to im prove than abolish it because a few thousands a year might be saved. This is the plea or pretence for dip solution, but we have no doubt whatever that for every pound alleged to be saved by the change 100 will be lost to the public. No possible reform in the Court of Chancery can render it as cheap, simple, and expediti ous a medium of transferring property as the Encum bered Estates Court. The public regard the contem plated change with jealousy and suspicion, and if the House of Commons fairly reflects public feeling it will be slow to accept an untried substitute and consult the wishes of lawyers rather than the good of the communi'y We have already alluded to the value of raforms in the Court of Chancery and the extension of business that followed them. It would be well not to embarrass and choke it with an accumulation ef new bus;ness for which its procedure is unsuited. '1 here can be no real economy in the change. A cirninissioner's salary may be saved, and a clerk here and there cut off ; but expenses will assuredly be multiplied and deductions made from the proceeds of sales which inheritors and creditors little dream of. Let well enough alone' is a sound maxim. Apropos of the tribunal about to be abolished, one of the Galway papers (the Western Star) chro nicles the following as one instance out of many changes which have marked the progress of what has been called the Irish social revolution : " The operations of the Encumbered Estates Court in Ireland have, for the most part, been highly beneficial to the country. It has frequently been our province to notice the changes of ownership occasioned by the sales in Henrietta-street, and to trace the effects of these trans actions on the immediate occupiers of the land. It is not for us to draw a comparison between the conduct of one landlord and that of another. We wish merely on the present occasion to notice the mode in which an English gentleman of position and capital has attempted to solve the great problem how to improve Ireland and the Irish. Mr. James C. Harter, of Broughton-hall, Lancashire, purchased in 1852 an estate of some 1,500 acres, lying for about three miles along the verge of the Shannon, and contiguous to the bridge of Banagher. The estate of Esker was at this time in a deplorable condition. Like other properties in the county of Galway, it had been under the management of the courts, and little or no indulgence could be extended to the tenantry, who were for the most part living in poverty and ignorance. Mr. Harter paid for the estate a sum of 8,0001., and he has since expended in improvements about 4,000/.. more. On taking possession Mr. Harter directed that no one should be evicted, thofiglf the property was cut up into small tenements, seyttral tietanhed . 40 irregular holdings belonging to ono tenant. The farms were all remodelled, and encouragement, in tbe shape of sub stantial aid, given to every tenant to improve his resi dence and offices. Parties who saw this property 20 years ago would scarcely recognise it now, so great a change has been effected in four short years. The swamps and morasses have been converted into excel lent land, and the °allows are so much improved as to be worth treble their former value. One field, formerly let for 251. a year, now brings 701. The tenantry are exceedingly comfortable, and hav,e themselves become imbued with the spirit of improvement." THE LATE ACCIDENT. Captain Hamilton, of the 2d Battalion of the Grenadier Guards, now stationed in Dublin, who was severely injured on the 28th of last month, by a fall from a horse, is progressing rapidly towards perfect recovery under the care of the regimental surgeon, Mr. Wardrop, THE ISLE 04' SERPENTS. - 0-7 74, y tz.z S (From the Constitutionnel.) The treaty of Paris, it is true, gave to the Otto man Porte the islands of the Danube, but the Isle of Serpents does not form a part of them, and its situation on the coast of Bessarabia, which is a pro vince of the Russian empire, appears to make it in the opinion of the Russians a part of the Imperial td.nait ling_ however that this islet stands outside the limits oT nessah.tna, the rectification of the frontier which is about to be made by the international commission, will, it is said, consent to abide by the decision of the Powers who signed the treaty of Paris as to re taining or giving it up. Such, at least, is the lan guage attributed• to the Russian Government. We do not guarantee its strict exactitude, but it appears to us to be plausible and to merit examination. Frankly speaking, we do not see in all this any of the threatening proceed ings which certain foreign journals have discovered. In general, Ru'ssia appears to have executed in perfect good faith all the provisions of the treaty which she has accepted. Site has renounced the possession of a fleet in the Black Sea ; has sub , mitted to her formidable arsenal of Sebastopol being transformed into a commercial port ; has aban doned her fortified positions on the Danube, and has relinquished all exclusive co ntrol over the na vigation of any part of that river. And yet, when she has consented to all these sacrifices, a cry of alarm israised because she has placed her foot on the Isle of Serpents! Certainly this is a fine compensa tion, and a strong starting point for projects of do mination at Constantinople, which could not be realised when she possessed twenty line-of-battle ships and a fortress impregnable except to such au army as entered Sebastopol ! The occupation of the Isle of Serpents does not appear to us to be of such importance. It signifies rather that the Rus sians are not disposed to yield anything more than what may be absolutely exacted from them, and that they will not abandon, without at least mak ing au effort of discussion, a portion of territory the cession of which they think is not categorically prescribed by the treaty. It is a custom to say that an unsuccessful pleader has 24 hours to curse his judges. Is it therefore astonishing that the Rus sians show some hesitation in making a cession which, in their opinion, they may not be positively obliged to make ? No one is ever eager to put an interpretation ou a treaty which is unfavourable to himself. It is attributed to the Russians as a crime, the endeavour to extenuate in the eyes of the neigh bouring population the consequences of the taking of Sebastopol. It would really be extraordinary if they had done otherwise, particularly with a people who were recently accused of having Te Deums sung after defeats. Should it not, on the contrary, be found quite natural that the Russian authorities should endeavour to conceal the amount of concessions which the fate of arms has compelled them to make ? What duty obliges them to dimi nish their prestige ? Should we gain much by it, and did we moreover make it one of the conditions of peace ? Justice should bo rendered to every one, and more particularly to those who have been conquered in au honourable contest. The Russians certainly have some right to pride themselves on having so long resisted the ardour of such troops as the besieging army was composed of. • Let us therefore allow the Russians to put the best face they can on the affair in the eyes of the people who have hitherto regarded them as invincible ; let them, as they have a right to do pride them selves on the bravery they have displayed ; let them dispute, if they think proper, over the rem nants of the domination which they exercised in the Black Sea before the war ; but do not lot us swell beyond measure the importanc e of such inci dents. United with our allies, we have no reason to fear that Russia will eN or realise the famous testament of Peter the Great. Constantinople and the States of the Sultan will remain intact. No alarm is felt in Turkey at the actti.compl?ined of. The enlightened men of th at countr y well k n ow that the di sc ussion abort the Isle of Serpents has nothing silions in it, a nd the y feel.entire con fidence in France and her allies. All the noise that has been made about the affair cannot, in our opinion, be better described than by applying to it the title of one of Shakspere's plays, " Much ado about Nothing." A latter from Vienna; in the Cologne Gazette, sap : " Prince Peter Karageorgewitch, son of the Prince of Servia, arrived here on the 9th from liarlesbad, and loft ~ on the 11th for Belgrade, whither his father, who it now at the baths of Brestowatz, is also about to proceed. Too return of the prince will be followed by a change of ministry. M. Aztka Nenadovitz, the present Minister of Finance, is to be named President of the Council. The Senate, which is composed of 20 members, is new en gaged in the examination of "a bill which will introduce a laud tax into Servia, and which will probably be pub. lfished by the new Minis'iy. The present revenues o i Servia only arise from a direct personal tax of five t ha t lers and from the customs duties, and are insufficient le r the expenses." . . , ••. , ,41ra • O.TIL • , 4 if Ka ss s.S . ; . t. , ‘" , ( - 7 , 4 • 7') \\NIP 47, % , ;, • • N.__ Rot• • - ,/ _ _ - , . ~,,Arom, ~..... 404, /I • '0" MI ; ALI 4 4, V , - DUBLIN, TUESDA 7 VjA P ENCUMBERED ESTATES C, THE LAND TRANSPORT CORPS. ANCIENT COFFINS.—The Dundee Courier says sever& stone coffins have been found within I,lle last few days during the laying out of the grounds on Mr. Yeaman's property on the Ferry-road, Dundee. On Monday morn ing one of great length was opened, in which the skele• ton was remarkably well preserved. The bones were extraordinarily massive, and must have been those of a large and powerful man. The coffins are of the same kind as those found a year or two ago near Baldovan, but if anything mere shapely. No inscription of any kind has been observed upon them, and in one only were found a few small copper coins, the date of which was quite illegible. The time and circumstances of the in terments are entirely left to conjecture. HORRIBLE MIIRDER.—Our county has been disgraced by a most atrocious murder, made doubly so if the case as it is now represented be fully proved, a thing which we have little reason to doubt. The prisoners, who now lie in our county gaol, committed on a charge of murder, are two brothers named Lydon. It will be remembered by our readers that at the last assizes here, a man named Pat Lydon was indicted for a serious offence, but on the evening before his trial was to come on, he was married , in his ce l l in the gaol, to the girl who was to prosecute him. On being placed in the dock next day, and on the prosecutrix stating that she was his wife, the judge was under the necessity of liberating him. After being thus di:chargcd he returned to his home, and the young woman to her parolee house; but some time afterwards he went to her father's residence, and said he wanted her to go and live with him, being his wife ; she maid that on the next day she would r ba e p re pared to do so, and on th at evening went out fo time with bine, and in passing along saw a man s t a nding near where they were walking, disgud, as it on some evil intent. Becoming a little frightened, she returned home, and acquainted her brothers of the cir cumstance, stating that it was her looenlietihteh n n e e r xt an ev in en d in is g . guise was her brother-in-law. lip ho returned again, and she went out with him, and was not heard of after for a length of time, although every search was made for her. A few days ago, however, a man who was going observed the ore, out o legs of a f a boat, huma th n e b an ks of Lough Co rrib, body protruding from the sand, ,and without d'eli , y informed the constabulary, who instantly arrested the two Lydons,_ and then proceeded to raise the bod y , w hich proved to be that of the missing girl, buried in the clothes in which she left her father's place. Mr. G. Cottingbam having held an inquest on the body, the Lydons were committed to take their trial at the ensu ing assizes in this town, for the murder of the unfortu• nate girl. In this we have given the facts as they now appear, but cannot say whether they may be fully sup ported before a jury or not. The crime was a shocking one, and we hope, be the criminals the Lydons or some other persons, they will get the full benefit of the law.— Gaiwoy Acepros, - mr - L...aulk. LORD MAYOR. Yasterday morning a deputation from the members of the Land Transport Coips waited upon the Lord Mayor, by special appointment, at the Mansion-house. Mr. JAMES REDSTIA.Vr, who headed the deputation, read the following address : " To THE RIGHT HON. THE LORD MAYOR. " We, the artificers of the Lend Transport Corps, lately returned from Malta and the Crimea, humbly beg to lay before your lordship our grievances and wrongs, and ask you to come forward to aid and assist us in obtaining our just rights from the Government, according to our engage 'gent. We beg to explain to your lordship what the en gagement was. We were to have Gs. a-day with clothes and rations free. Now, the Government have not fulfilled that engagement in any one instance ; for they have not paid Gs. a-day ;we have had to pay a great portion of our rations ; and they have taken from several of us our clothes, which wore a free gift to us ; and, worse than all, we have been sent home with an illegal discharge, so that we are unable to obtain employment. Trusting in your lordship's kindness, we humbly pray that you will cot von° a public meeting, so that we may be able to lay before the citizens of London our claims, knowing as we do that they already sympathise with us, and that they will do all they can to rescue us from the deplorable condition in which we aro placed by the refusal of the Government to fulfil their engagements in the way they have done with other corps whose c onditions of service were the same as ours." The LORD MAYOR inquired whether the men were in the position of soldiers, placed under martial law, and how long they had been at home Mr. REDSHAW said they were in the position of sol diers duly enlisted, and had been home three or four months. The LORD MAYOR presumed these men had made some representation of their grievances to their superior ea cers—to the commander of the corps, Per instance I Mr. REDSHAW said they had fully represented their case to Colonel M'Murdo, the commander of the corps, but without avail. The LORD MAYOR asked whether the men had been discharged I Mr. REDSHAW said they did not consider themselves discharged. They had a paper given to them which was not a legal discharge. Many of them had applied for employment in different quarters, but were rejected on account of the insufficiency of their discharge paper. The LORD MAYOR (after inspecting the document, which was a common pricted paper, covered with era sures and interlineations) remarked that it certainly was a very curious affair, and said the men had, of course, been paid. Several men at once exclaimed that they had not been paid since the 9th of June, and that although they had memorialised Lord Panmure on the subject, his lordship had not condescended to favour them with any reply. Their great grievance was that if they were called upon to enter the service to-morrow, they would be compelled to comply, and yet their position was not recognised nor their claims discharged. The LORD MAYOR said it appeared to him that there must be some way of obtaining redress for the men. If they were not disbanded, they were clearly still in the service of the Government. If their statement was cor rect that they had represented their case to Lord advise them to appeal to Lord Palmerston, who was always anxious to assist those who had served their country. He could not accede to the request that had been made to him to call a public meeting; but if the men liked to entrust their memorial to him, he would forward it, with his own recommendation, to the Prime Minister. In the memorial which had been read, allusion was made to what had been done for another corps. What did that mean I Mr. WHARTON said that each member of the Turkish Contingent bad 181. on enlisting, and on being discharged had 21., on condition of not too frequently wearing their regimental clothes, which it was arranged should 1.• given up to the Government. The LORD MAYOR thought that, with proper perse verance, the tnen must succeed. Their claims appeared to be strong. Mr. REDSHAW said they had frequently been to the War-offiee. The authorities there referred them to Col. 111 4 1\lurdo, but they could obtain no redress from him. The LORD MAYOR expressed his regret that the men should be compelled to sue as paupers. te WHARTON repudiated the designation of paupers as applied to them. All they wanted was that they should be protected, as they went forth for the protec tion of their country at the call of duty. The LORD MAYOR said he did not use the term in an offensive sense. It was very heed that men who were called upon when the country required their services, should be thrown on one side when their services were no longer required. He had no doubt they had a fair claim upon the Government, but the only difficulty was as to the way of asserting it. Ile wished tote repeat that if they a anted a friend he should be happy intercede with Lord Palmerston on their behalf. At the same time, he thought they would do well to make another appeal to Col. M`Murdo and the authorities at the War-office. It was difficult to bring Governments to book ; but, in this case, lie was strongly of opinion that the claims of the Land Transport Corps should be recognised. Tue deputation, after thanking his lordship for his courtesy to them —a compliment which was certainly very well deserved-09u retired. / ,7 - ,7. c i._,,,E ) C 2 / 4 ~ ~.. 6' Clip' Ma , Jlia , : No' Ally, 3411
