Tho present age demands that all dramatic represen tations should have scenery, dresses, and music, because people wouldn't go to see them without. The public voice has justified me in deciding that historical truth is not of much consequence, where fun and amusement are con cerned. Hence I conclude, that when an appropriate op portunity occurs of blending fun with good humour, when the mind can be relaxed while the eye twinkles with de light, I am not likely to lose by the effort I have made. I may,. in conclusion, state that " Pizarro," at Drury lane, is got up with a due disregard to historical accuracy. E. T. SMITH. SKETCHES 01% LONDON ACTORS. Naval and illihLairy Intelligence.

About ten days since, late i❑ the evening, two persons, male and female, in exterior a lady and gentleman, drove up to the Clarendon Hotel at Birmingham. They had with them a large quantity of luggage, and after they had remained for some time, intimation was given to Mr. Herrison, the landlord, that the lady's son and brother would soon arrive and take up their abode. Pesently afterwards two gentlemen made their appearance, one of whom represented himself as Mr. Wyndham, a member of the firm of Vivian and Company, Great Bennett place, Fenchurchoitreet, and agents of the Queen of Oude. Immediately upon the arrival of the last pair, the first two made arrangements to depart, first calling for their bill ; but on doing this, Mr. Wyndham said, " Oh, never mind the bill ; it can be included in my ac count." Falling in with this suggestion, the lady and gentleman departed. The next day paragraphs appeared in the papers, announcing that the Queen of Oude and suite were about to visit Birmingham, and that Mr. Wyndham, their representative, had arrived to make arrangements. Communicatio❑s were opened with the Mayor, and his worship, anxious to do suitable honour to his s.ugust visitors, postponed a pre-arranged visit to Paris in order that he might be present to receive his guests— sable, but feminine and royal—next Monday. A. mag nificent suite of apartments was engaged at the Queen's Hotel, and at some of the principal manufactories inti mation was given, through the agency of the indefatigable Wyndham, that a visit from the illustrious Asiatics might be expected. Yesterday it was discovered that the Mayor, the chief of the police, and a lot of other clever people, had been very prettily sold. Mr. George Richmond Collis, the proprietor of large electroplating works, applied to Mr. Kynnersley, the stipendiary magi strate, for a warrant against Wyndham, who has made a somewhat abrupt departure from his hotel, after run ning up a bill amounting to more than 151., which he forgot to pay, leaving only a couple of shirts and some luggage even less valuable behind him. Mr. Collis stated that he had relied upon the information he had received from Mr. Stephens, the chief of police, as to Mr. Wyndham being really what he pretended to be ; he invited the latter to dinner, who took with him a couple of friends, and in the course of the cAlversation thereafter Mr. Wyndham suggested what he (Mr. Collie) should do to make the Queen of Oude's visit agreeable. Amongst other things he mentioned that a medal should be struck in commemoration of the occa sion. Subsequently Mr. Collis introduced Mr. Wynd ham to Mr. Soholefield, M.P., and other highly respect. able persons. On Monday money matters came to be talked of. Mr. Wyndham asked Mr. Collis if he would cash a cheque for 201. on his London banker., for he said, " I have been living rather freely lately, or I should not trouble you. It is rather impudent in me to prefer such a request, but perhaps you will excuse the liberty, and do me the favour." Mr. Collis had, however, been caught far enough, anything but cash the cheque ; he, however, consented to lend 51. A misgiving as to the character of his visitor at the same moment rushing into his mind, he communicated with his London agents, and soon ascertained by telegraph that no one had any authority to make arrangements for the reception of her Oudean Majesty in Birmingham. Further, that she had no intention of travelling, and that Mr. Wynd• ham was no representative of hers. This was from the immediate attendants upon the Queen. Having received this piece of information, Mr. Collis had nothing more to do than to procure the assistance of the police, who are generally very c'ever—(in Bir mingham, at least)—when a plot is all unravelled. The arrest of Mr. Wyndham was sought, but he was too acute for policemen ; he had quitted the Clarendon Hotel abruptly, and search having been fi uitless so far a warrant for his apprehension was applied for; the charge being obtaining money under false pretences. The magistrate said that the necessary steps would be taken to comply with Mr. Collis's application ; but Mr. Wyndham's whereabouts has not yet been ascertained. DRU.RY-LANE THEATRE. Mr. E. T. Smith having secured the services of Mr. and Mrs. Keeley for his short season before Christmas, is about to employ their laughter•rnoving powers to the bet advantage in a new burlesque upon Pizarro--in which Mrs. Keeley will perform Rolla to her husband's Pizarro. The announcement of this intended perfor mance is so whimsical as to be worth notice beyond the ordinary run of playbills. It is as follows PIZARRO. A SPANISH ROLLI-KING PERUVIAN DRAMS, IN ONE ACT. The success which usually attends a well-written and well-acted burlesque can leave no doubt that public taste approves that description of entertainment. In compliance, suggestion of therefore, with an opinion of my own, and a the author, we have Fought for a fresh chapter in the pages of bombast, which may combine with the revival of a play appertaining to a period of great interest and little princi ple, much that is undoubtedly novel and amusing. Heretofore the subjects have been chosen from the crea tion of one Mr. Wm. Shakspeare ; in the present instance I have selected the well-known drama of " Pizarro," for the purpose of exemplifying many of the performances and exhibitions of Pero, at the time when the people found out that the Spaniards were down upon 'em. The discovery of the Western Hemisphere by Kitty Columbus (perhaps the most hair-brained exhibition of the great lengths to which adventurers will sometimes go, in the annals of com mercial enterprise) opened a way to a good many places up to that time unknown, and numerors successors of the illustrious pioneer penetrated region after region of the vast continent, eager in the search of what they could get. Europe received the startling intelligence, " by our own Correspondent, " that Mexico and Peru teemed with mil lions of all sorts, and no ends of gold-fields. While Nature appeared to revel in various ways, according to the aspect you took of her, the land abounded with precious gems and metals to such an extent that the gold was actually trod den under foot in the dust. It aas this discovery that originated the well-known behest, so often made, and so seldom complied with, of "Come down with the dust." Indeed it is believed that the streets of the city of Peru would have been paved with gold, but that the people at the time of the drama were above the weakness of pave ments§ of any kind. In placing upon the stage former spec tacles, I have availed myself of anybody's discoveries that were appropriate, and have laid my hands upon anything useful I could get. I have adopted precisely the same course on the present occasion. By the recent excavations in Assyria all sorts of mum mies were discovered, while through the adventurous and unscrupulous spirit of the Spaniards in the 16th century oust nations were pillaged and plundered to an extent which only a railway era bank director, who has unli m it e d control of the funds, can have any notion of. We read, without the slightest surprise, whole nations of people doing the best they could for themselves, and enjoying their theatres, and other evening entertainments. Iu adapting the selected play to the purpose of amusing illustration, short cuts have been made with certain pas sages, and as the whole piece relates to war the dialogue has been arranged in appropriate lines. In adopting this course I have ventured to introduce many effects which are not to be found in the origipal drama—for instance, the donkey charger of Pizarro, called in the original Jeru salemoke, has been most unaccountably left behind the scenes in the German version. I did think of introducing the grand Festival of Ramo Samee, the celebrated Indian knife swallower; but as no dagger swallower could be ob tained at so short a notice, and as perhaps the audience would not swallow the ceremony without, I have I think judiciously left it alone. As we possess no information respecting Quito (the place named by the dramatist), Ido not intend to give any. In order, however, to represent it ac cura t e l y, I h ave di rec t e d the scieatific artist to paint another place. The music throughout the piece has been arranged,when in moments of composure, by Mr. J. H. Tully. The various airs are founded on melodies in th e " T rova t ore, " an d other operas not alluded to in Peruvian antiquities, al though they have extensively been lauded in modern cri tiques. By the production of "Pizarro," long known as a urea bombastic play, I cannot but think that a wide field is a fforded for the introduction of that kind of . wit and fun, INNS OF COURT.

THE NATIONAL LIFE-BOAT INSTITUTION AND SHIPWRECKED MARINERS' SOCIETY. These two societies have, within the last two or three years, made great exertions respectively to increase their usefulness along the coasts. Indeed, the National Life boat Institution has incurred a debt of upwards of 3,0001. in its efforts to augment the number of its life-boat esta blishments on the shores of the United Kingdom. A correspondent of the Nautical Magazine thus ingeniously proposes to relieve both institutions, Ile says : " Leaving to others to act according to their several op portunities, I have taken some pains lately to arrive at the amount of tonnage owned and sailed by yachtsmen in Great Britain. I can give names and particulars of nearly 1,200 yachts, and the proportion of each rig , viz. : 250 schooner yachts, ave rag i ng about 60 tons 15,000 tons. 1,000 cutters „ „ 17 „ 17,000 „ 60 yawls „ /1 „ 35 „ 2,100 ,„ 6 loggers 7 sloops 2 wherries BOO „ 70 „ 6 steam-yachts 36,470 tons. "This enormous amount of yacht tonnage, contributing Gd. a ton, would yield 9001. for one year, besides additional subscriptions, to which these contributions, when known, might give rise. In three or four years the National Life boat Institution might pay off all its debts, amounting to 3,0001., from this source alone. I propose, therefore, that the sister societies make a joint appeal to yachtsmen. I, as one, having a small vessel, will cheerfully subscribe ten times its tonnage in sixpences, pro rata, as a beginning. ndetead tonnage eve of Let other yacht owners come forward, for on ly one y ear , and a trifle Again, a Great blessing B Britain t t a o i the n i s f p r , "a the each mercantile wil estimated coasLA at 3,637,2 31 tons. Is it likely th a t one B r i t i s h shipowner in three would refuse his farthi ng p er t on, or his half•farthing ? If all subscribed, these farthings would amount to nearly 4,0001. for one year. This, with what might reasonably be expected from shipping societies, each contributing its mere trifle, would raise such an amount as would do more real good than the public—ignorant of the actual working of these societies—would believe ; and, what is more important, would, before the winter, enable the whole system to be put in more perfect working order." A remarkable instance of the fatality which sometimes weighs on certain persons is related in the Droit. A mar ried couple living in the Faubourg Saint Denis were, by no misconduct of their own, reduced to the most frightful distress. The husband at last succeeded, a few day, ago, in obtaining a place as letter•carrier, and Saturday was fixed for his entrance on his duties. On Friday evening they had literally not a morsel of bread in the house, and no money to buy any. ; but the wife, being a dress- maker, sat up all night to finish a gown she had to make, and on Saturday morning she took it home to get ' money to buy a breakfast. She left her child, five years of age, asleep in bed, and on her return was horrified to find that the little creature bad, on awakening, began playing with the chemical matches, whereby bhe had set ifire to her clothes, and h a d b u r n ed her se lf d rea d fully. The child was conveyed to the hospital, but she died in a fevi hours. Few who have adopted the actor's life as a . profession ever leaped so quickly into the good opinions of all good playgoers as the Charles Mathews who forms our pre sent sketch. But few men have been indulged with greater advantages, by nature and circumstances. His parents were as liberal as they were affectionate. He was educated like a scholar and an artiste, having been originally destined for a profession more " cairn and classical" than his present one. He had the advantage, from his boyhood upwards, of mixing not only in bril liant, but also in good society, assembled in his father's hospitable house, and these good chances fell on one thoroughly prepared by nature to profit by them. Charles Mathews, the younger, was apt at acquiring languages, and at hitting off all the humours in national life and manner. He not only knew French, Italian, Neapolitan, Venetian, and Heaven only knows how many strange dialects besides, but he could act them to the life, could sing the song, dance the dance, and assume the nationalities of any country, of dray class. During his residence abroad, as one of Lord Blessington's travel ling party, the frequency of his mystifications, and the skill with which they were maintained, must have made it evident that he was his father's own son, and that no creations in marble, stone, or brick, were to be expected from ore so versatile and mcsreirial. Yet, ib was not till his youth was in some degree advanced that he suddenly took the resolution of throwing architecture to the winds, and, in place of building theatres, of making him self a theatrical pillar of stremith, by flinging himself gaily into the gayest (sometimes the slightest) comedy, as his profession. Whereas most actors have studied in a provincial school before making a London debut, Mr. C. Mathews at once (in 1835) came out complete in the theatre, among all metropolitan theatres, which boasted of on assemblage of such first-rate talents as the names of Farren, Liston, Madame Vestris, and Mrs. Orger recall to us. Daily practice with artistes like these would have influenced one less impressionable and accomplished than Mr. C. Mathews ; but t•) him it did not so much instruct as ripen. He had no rough edges of provin c'alisin to rub off; but launched at •ace into proficiency, and went forward, without drawback or delay, to per fection. Mr. C. Mathews has made for himself a style of acting which may be said to be peculiarly Ells own. He is unlike anyone who has preceded him—unlike anyone of the pre seat time, and all those who have attempted imitation of him have [Ailed signally. The sound of the true from the false Metal has in no case of attempted counterfeits been more distinguishable. For buoyancy of spirit, such as might be owned by a creature made of quick silver, for gentlemanly ease, for cool assurance, and for rattling volubility, he has no rival. There are some characters with which Mr. Charles Mathews has iden tified himself so completely that they can only live and will die with him. Look at his Sir Chas. Coldstream, in " Used Up ;" see that air of ennui which marks the walk, the action, the speech ; and contrast these with his performance in the second act, where we find him roughing it as a countryman, enjoying his homely fare, revelling in the fun of the situation ; mark the merry twinkle of his eye, and the look he wears when listen ing to the reading of his will. Can anything he more different and yet more in keeping with the same cha racter ? Or, take him in " The Game of Speculation," where, as Mr. Affable Hawk, he is to be seen on the verge of ruin, battling with all his ener g y t o k ee p c l ear of the edge of the precipice ; mark with what avidity he seizes upon every scheme, and, as each bubble bursts, how eagerly his mind forms new plans and fancies new sphereS of action. His hope at finding a prize in a rich son•in law—his disinay at finding that prize a blank— his subterfuge as to his partner's return, and his asto• nishment at finding he has returned—are points which all who have seen can testify to their being truly great. Green-room historians tell that this piece was written in thirteen hours and produced after two rehearsals-s-a won derful piece of unrehearsed stage business, but one not to be risked without peril. Who that has ever heard his Captain Patter in "Patter versus Clatter," has not felt astonished at the unceasing rattle of words rushing from the tongue at "Fast train, high pressure, express" speed, yet no one word is lost, the articulation being always clear, always distinct ? Who that has seen, by the mere altering the position of a wig, how miraculous a change takes place, will deny him the praise of a first class mime? The features are no longer the same ; the whole man has changed—face, figure, voice ; yet it is Charles Mathews, for he has never left the stage. Or, to specify something of a higher order, recollect his Sir Fretful Plagiary and Puff in "The Critic ;" who would suppose that the old man in old-fashioned suit, with old fashioned habit to match, by turns pettish, snappish, and passionate, could .be the same man who suddenly dashes on tho stage in modern - diesel, with white kid glove and even the flowers in the button-bole ? It is as if the wand of some harlequin had brought about the change, and not the bands of a "mortal dresser." As in aspect so in acting are the two parts dissimilar. It would be impossible to count a tithe of the pieces in which Mr. Charles Mathews, like an Atlas, has supported the whole burden of the story— how he has carried the audience away, through dull or light dramas, on the wines of his never-flagging spirits. "Cool as a Cucumber," "Practical Man," "An Appeal to the Public," " Aggravating Sam," may le named as illus trating these remarks. Did the fashion of the times permit some of the comc• dies being acted we should be at a loss to find a better representative of Charles Surfa . Ce, Doricourt, Young Rapid, and all those fops, scapegraces, and good fellows (who are good for nothing) who used to keep the come dies of the past century alive by their airy impudence, than Mr. Charles Mathews. His Dazzle in " London Assurance ' will long be recollected. Nor is this all. Mr. Charles Mathews claims a few passing words as author and manager. In the former character he has often ap peared witli success, as " My Wife's Mother," " The Ringdoves," " the Dowager," " Littie Toddlekins," will testify. They are all sparkling, neat, witty, kept a-going with stage tact. A s a manager h e h a d t o il e d on through difficulties (how made is not here the question), reaping nought but anxiety, loss of time, and that for which we all labour —money. But what care the public for all these things so long as they owe delightful even ings to such talent as he can display, and call forth ap plause from those who surrounded hien ; to the magnifi cence with which he dresses and decorates the banquet which he set before them ? That better days may come for him, that he may rise above all the difficulties which have beset his path, and make for himself a happy old age, is a wish in which all his admirers and friends, and they are myriad, will cordially join.—Daily Yeses.

The "casts" were obtained from Liverpool, aid were, of course, taken at Stafford, on the pretence of being used for scientific purposes ! It is high time to put a ,:top to this species of phrenological humbug.—.Van chest°. Examiner. ELECTRIC COMUUNICATION BETWEEN EUROPE AND AMERICA.—It is expected that by July next the whole cable will be laid down. Mr. Bright, the secretary of the Magnetic Telegraph Company, and Mr. Cutteress, their managing clerk, have just returned from an in• spection of Valentia and its neighbourhood, with the view of ascertaining the best site for the terminus of the submarine cable. At present it is believed the course the telegraph will take inland will be from Va lentia by subterranean wire to Tralee, and thence along the proposed line of railway, on poles, to Killarney, thence to the junction, and so along the rest of the line to London.—Tralce Chronide. An official notification from the Adjutant-General's office in Dublin has been received by Major-General Sir James Charles Chatterton, K.H., to the effect that Lieutenant• General Sir Colin Campbell, G.C.8., the gallant and distinguished officer who commanded the Highland Brigade durinc , the late war in the Crimea, and who now holds the rank of Inspector-General of Infantry, is about to proceed on a general inspection of the con solidated depots in Ireland, and may be expected in Limerick in the course of a few days. Sir Cohn has arrived in Dublin, and dined at the Viceregal-lodge on Monday. Yesterday the steam-transport City of London (No. 9), arrived at Liverpool with the headquarters of the British Italian L?gion, including 26 officers, 57 non commissioned officers, and 251 rank and file, direct from Malta. The sailing transport Tudor is (-tally expected to arrive at the same port with the remainder of the corps, amounting to 700.

Her Majesty's sloop Express, Commander Boys, left Spit head yesterday for Plymouth to be paid off. The Amaranth transport, No. 212, arrived at Spithead on Tuesday evening► from the Crimea with stores. The Firefly . steam-transport, No. 153, arrived at Spit head yesterday morning from the Crimea with stores and ammunition. The Prussian corvette Amazone, Capt. Kuhn, whose ar rival at Spithead on Sunday last we have noticed, will leave for Dantzic this day. Her captain and officers, among whom is Pi ince von Schwartzburg Sonderhaven, visited Portsmouth dockyard yesterday, accompanied by their Consul, Chev. Van Den Bagh, who, in the absence of the Port-Admiral and Lieutenant-Governor, enter tained them at the Ginsulate in the evening. Yesterday morning a draught of 75 non-commissioned officers and men belonging to the 6th Dragoon Guards, 2d Royals, 4th King's Own, 7th Fusiliers, 9th, 19th, 23d Welsh Fusiliers, 30th, 41st Welsh Regiment, 49th, 50th Queen's Own, 51st Light Infantry, 55th, 67th, 72d Highlanders, 77th, 90th Light Infantry, and a detach ment of the Land Transport Corps, left St. Mary's Bar racks, Chatham, to join the depots of their respective regiments, the whole having recovered from sickness and wounds incurred in the Crimea.

Capt. Chas. Barker (29th Sept., 1850) has taken up his commission, and joined the Retribution, 28 guns, paddlewheel steam frigate, refitting at Sheerness. The Insolent gun-boat, Pritchard, commander, has been lent by the Admiralty to the Board of Trade for the purpose of assisting at the erection of a lighthouse on the Basses Rocks, off Ceylon, and left Sheerness yes terday morning direct for that island. Great additions and. alterations are being made at Pem broke Dockyard. The present dry dock is being widened and lengthened, so as to meet the requirements of our new class men-of-war. Two new slips fur ship building are in course of erection ; these are being made of huge blocks of limestone, with copings of granite. Other slips are being lengthened to meet the increased size of the ships, and the consequence is a great increase seaward of the establishment. An extension of the sea wall is going on. All accumulation of mud is to be washed away by means of reservoirs between the slips, and these can be run out by the sluices when required. The lengthening and widening of the dock will this year cost 10,0001., and the new slips and boat basin will cost 14,0001. The entrance of the dock is to be widened, at the expense of 5,0001. Lieut.-Col. Irving, who commanded the artillery of the Kilkenny Military District, now, upon the breaking up of tho district, is to take command of the Pigeon house Fort, Dublin.

VICTUALLING YARD.—Twenty-two labourers were dis charged from this establishment. on Saturday last. REFUSAL OF CABIN ACCOMMODATION TO THE ASSISTANT SURGEON OF HER MA JESTY'S SHIP CRUISER, AT PORTSMOUTH. When the Admiralty memorandum, constituting as sistant surgeon ward-room officers, appeared, upwards of 12 months ago, we expressed a somewhat confident hope that the clause which assigns cabins to the officers in question, " whenever the service will admit," would be acted upon in a liberal spirit by all officers entrusted with the cmninand of her Majesty's ships. We had fo❑dly imagined that all ground for complaint on this score had ceased for ever in the service. It is, therefore, with some serious pain that we hear the as sistant surgeon appointed to her Majesty's ship Cruiser has been told there is no cabin for lion in that ♦essel. It is in no spirit of cavil, or with any feeling otherwise than for the welfare of the service, that we cad the attention of the Admiralty to this case, in the hope that their lord ships will ascertain whether the obstacles to the proper accommodation of this officer are not capable of being removed. There is no use in blinking a question, and wo there- fore do not hesitate to call upon ltear•Admiral Richards, who, we believe, has charge of the medical department, to see that justice is done in this case. LAND TRANSPORT CORPS. Last night the third aggregate meeting of the non• commissioned officers and men of the above corps was held at the Central Committee-house, the Eight Bells, Ironmonger-row, St. Luke's, for the purpose of forwarding the movement which has been commenced for obtaining a satisfactory recognition of theirjust claims by the Government. Mr. Serjeant Reardon in the c.lair. The room was densely crowded. The CHAIRMAN, in opening the business, said he was very proud to see such a numerous meeting, which was indicative of future success. They only sought to ob tain what they had fairly and justly earned ; and he would ask them, were they content to pursue the object —(cries of "Yes, yes")—or to be made the scapegoat of the Government. (No, no.) They had been treated in the Crimea as soldiers, for unfortunately some of them bad received the lash. Therefore if they were soldiers, and the Government bad used them as long as they wanted them, and now wanted them no longer, they were at any rate entitled to a soldier's discharge. Reso lutions would be proposed in reference to their discharge, their gratuity, and clothing. in reference to their clothing, lie would a , k them if they ever before beard of a soldier heir g charged U. for a pair of trousere , , for they well know that the highest price ever charged to a soldier in the line was 12-3. 4d. Then they were charged 9s. 4d. for a pair of shoes which could be pur chased anywhere in London for 4s. 6d. They had been most hardly treated ; for while the German Legion had been well cared for, those me❑ who had left their situa tions and broken up their homes to go out to the Crimea in the service of their country, had been altogether ne glected. He did not know where the fault rested— whether it was with Lord Panmure or those under him, but the claims of the men had not been settled, ner had they received any compensation for clothing, to which they were justly entitled. He hoped they would all unite together to obtain an acknowledgment of their rights. Several resolutions were then put and carried, much to the same purport as those already reported in this journal in the proceedings of a former meeting, to the effect that they required a proper and legal discharge, compensation for clothing, and a gratuity of three months' pay. After several speeches bad been made, stating the hardships the Land Transports Corps had ungergone, thanks were voted to the Chairman, and the meeting was dissolved. TESTIMONIAL TO Mn. WADDINGTON, M.P.—We understand that it is intended to present a testimonial to Mr. Waddington on the occasion of his resigning the post of chairman to the Eastern Counties Railway Com pany. A circular has been issued amongst the com pany's servant , , signed by the assistant superintendent of the line, and from the hearty response which the pro ject haq already met with, we augur well for its success. w e trust, however, that the contributions will not be limited to the officers and staff of the company, but that a wider range will be given fur subscriptions from those numerous friends of the late chairman who are uncoil sectocl with the ralwe,y, On the Gth inst. the fortress of Kars was re stored by the Russians to the Turks, and, as this event derives special interest and importance from being the closing scene of the war, some account of it beyond the dry official report will perhaps be ac ceptable to the public. I should observe that the Gth had been fixed for the occasion some time previously at a personal conference between the Mushir Ismail Pasha and Colonel Lorismelikoff, Governor and Commandant of Kars, who to do the greater honour to his late enemy repaired himself with a brilliant staff to Erzerouin for the purpose, whence he returned to Kars on the 2d inst. On the 3d he was followed by three British officers—viz., Major Peel, Major Fraser, and Mr. Evans, 9th Lancers, who came as the representa tives of the country and army to which they be long. It was my good fortune to be joined with them in this interesting duty, and, hilving taken an active part with them in the whole proceeding, all the particulars here narrated came within range of my own observation. On reporting our arrival to the Governor, every attention was immediately shown that respect and hospitality could suggest ; General Boutiloff in sisted upon giving up his room for our accommo dation ; we were pressingly invited to dine with the Governor every day during our stay ; horses were placed at our disposal, and a Cossack escort told off to attend upon us. These civilities, which policy, if not a better mo tive, would have dictated, were perhaps, in some measure intended to repay the friendly reception which Lorismelikoff andsuite experii3nceu from the officers of the British staff on the occasion of his re cent visit to Erzeroum. But I would not attach much value to this remark, for since the establish ment of peace the meeting of British and Russia officers in these parts has in every instance been characterised by feelings worthy of gallant gentle men and soldiers. On the 4th we visited the scene of the bloody fight of the 29th of Sept., being accompanied by a Cossack officer, who was engaged in that memor able struggle. His account of the whole affair was clear and circumstantial ; he related every inci dent, and pointed out every spot of special inte rest ; and it was impossible not to admire the com posure—.l may say the stoicism—with which he thus detailed for our information the particulars of as signal a defeat as his countrymen sustained throughout the war. The ridiculous will always tread upon the sub lime ; the absurd will not be scared even from a battle-field. Hero it attached itself to the person of one of our party —a robust John Bull, who, got up in his best staff uniform, was obliged by some whimsical chance to ride in a Cossack saddle on a litlo ragged restiff horse ; nothing but his innate horsemanship enabled him to hold on with his knees doubled up at angle of 45 deg. Such an exhibition would prove irresistible at Astley's, still it failed to disturb the gravity of our solemn Mentor. On the sth wo dined at the Russian camp with Gen. Kruloff, who invited a largo party of his friends to meet us ; toasts were the order of the day, and Gen. Williams's health was drunk three times three with enthusiastic cheers, in which the troops, -who had gathered in forco round the tent, joined to the full stretch of their voices. _ After dinner, which was over at three o'clock, there was a parade for all hands. We had au op portunity of witnessing some beautiful Cossack drill, and then went down the ranks of the infantry. In stature the men were below the average height, but they were well appointed and drilled. The Russian camp, I should observe, is about four miles from Kars, on the road to Guinri, and com prises about 5,000 men all all arms. At an early hour on the Gth we started with our Cossack escort to meet the Turkish troops, who were marching in under the command of Hus sein Pasha. They consisted of two battalions of infantry, two companies of Chasseurs, one troop of Lancers, and two guns—the force which, until further orders, is to constitute the gar rison of Kars, joining them a few miles from the town, we accompanied them for the remainder Of their march in, and tell it not in Gatti, ou the way Hussein Pasha was glad to learn a few hints as to the manner in which he was to act his part. Approaching the fortress we found the Russian infantry, under Lorismelikoff, formed in line to receive us, outside the works, on the Erzeroum-road. At the distance of aboutlOyards from them the Turkish column halted, and de ployed into line, parallel to and facing the Russians. General salutes were exchanged, after which the lines broke into contiguous columns of sections, and marched side by side into the fortress. The Turkish flag was hoisted on the citadel, salutes were fired, the Russian guard and sentries were relieved by Turks, and the old fortress was once more in possession of its former owners. There was no cheering, no expression of popular feeling ; but the whole affair was as inanimate and formal as can well be conceived. During the short time the Russian and Turkish troops were drawn up face to face we- were struck with the superior personnel of the latter; in every other respect the advantage was with the former. At 9.a.m. on the following morning the Mushir arrived ; either personal feeling or national eti quette forbade his entering the fortress until it had been evacuated by the Russians ; he rode without any display into the town, and retired at once to the quarters which had been provided for his re cept►on. We wont out several miles to meet him, accompanied by our band of faithful Cossacks, who, plain as they were in dress and appointments, con trasted most favourably as soldiers with the gaudy troop of Baski-13azouks that escorted his Excellency. We all met by appointment, cit grande tenue, at three o'clock, the Mushir accompanied by a host of Turkish officers, and Lorismelikoff with all his staff, each party being attended by a mounted escort. Filing through the narrow streets, we pro ceeded to the Russian camp, where a grand review had been ordered in honour of the Mushir. On clearing the heights of Karadagh we were met by General Kruloff and staff. Between the two chiefs there was no lack of outward cordiality, and on taking their place in front they headed the pro cession the rest of the way. All along the road the Cossacks and Bashi-Ba zouks kept up a constant succession of mock skir mishes and single combats, .in which each party made the best display of his peculiar tactics. The superior adroitness of the Cossack was, however, conspicuous, both in horsemanship and the use of his weapons. Some of their feats were astonishing. Just fancy a man, when closely pursued by his adversary, at full speed, disappearing over his horse's side, and, holding on by the heel, leaving nothing but the sole of a buskin as' a mark ! His wily little horse, thoroughly trained to all these manoeuvres, or rather seeming to exercise an inde pendent intelligence of its own, carries him safely out of harm's way, and soon after he reappears on the offensive when and where least expected. These skirmishes threatening more than once to exceed the limits of mere display, it was deemed advisable to recall the parties to the ranks. An hour's riding brought us to the camp where we found the whole Russian force paraded in marching order. The Mushir was received with a general salute and rounds of cheers (not exactly the British cheer), after which, breaking into open columns, the troops marched past—the infantry in slow time, the Cossacks at the gallop. And here again these astonishing horsemen treated us to some specimens of their India-rubber performances. While at full speed some would spring from the stirrups to a standing position in the saddle-tree, others would bend down out of sight ; they writhed and twisted about, backwards, forwards, and side ways, after a fashion that, I think, would astonish your stately giant at the Horse Guards, while, at the same time, they rent the air with yells and screams of most unearthly discoid. May - the for , tune of war defend me from such enemies ! The review over, we proceeded to the tent of General Kruloff, where a magnificent banquet was ready spread, and we spent the remainder of the day and a great part of the night too in a course of feasting and drinking which, perhaps, it would be as well not to describe too minutely. It was a day of festivity for all. As long as there was light the soldiers engage' in coarse comedies, one personat ing to admiration the character of a lady of the camp. When darkness set in these amusements wore succeeded by fireworks. Within the tent all was good fellowship. Cham pagne flowed without stint: Healthy were drunk with uproarious applause, the Sultan, our Queen, Napoleon, the Emperor, Mouraveiff, Williams, &c. ; and at last the fraternisttion was carried to such a degree of warmth that it could be expressed only by embraces. My English friends were the ' special objects of these caresses ; and it was emus -1 ing to witness the fervour with which these men of broad shoulders and bearded faces were hugged and kissed . by our loving friends. l i We slept that night at the cam p , in the tent of a general officer which had been kindly vacated for BIARRITZ, &Pr. 7. The Emperor and Empress, accompanied by a few attendants, visited on Friday the picturesque _ valley of Cambo, which is situate at the entrance of the Pyrenees. and is distant about three hours from Bayonne. The road to this halting-place in the Basque country is by Marrac and Ustarits. The chateau of Marrac is now a ruin, but it has lost nothing of its historic interest. It was under againstafStepraihnimselft, xr i • w as e s r t e h e c r e h a t r h l e a s t L y e r h e a i its roof that Nap o l eon I . b egan to execute his pro : j p e a c l t s actors, t political drama was performed in which th e princi ' Queen Maria Louisa, her raratnour Manual Godey, and their unworthy son, the Prince of the Astu rias, afterwards Ferdinand VII. It was there that Joseph Bonaparte received the fatal gift of • the Crown of Spain and the Indies ; and it was from those gates that the "Royal Wittol" and his depraved Queen departed for Compiegne, with such consolation as a yearly allowance of 3 0,000,000 of reals could afford, and their unnatural son was sent to Valeneay with 1,000,000 f., as the price of his dishonour. And, filially, it was there that Napoleon himself prepared the invasion of Spain by his armies, and which before long he had reason to regret bitterly. The present occupant of the Im perial throne of France must, as he passed before it, have regarded with curiosity a monument so suggestive of instruction and of warning ; and the sight of those decayed walls and that d e s er t e d do main may have confirmed him in the resolution he has more than once expressed of not repeating the faults committed by his uncle, whatever errors he himself may fall into. The chateau of Marrac was a suburban residence, in an agreeable situation, and with grounds well wooded and sloping down to the banks of the Nive. It had no other celebrity than what the residence of its Imperial tenant gave it. But it did not long survive that honour. Its de struction by fire soon after Napoleon quitted it seemed like the prelude of the conflagration which broke out in Spain when_ the uneonquaratle spirit of her people was stirrel up against the invader ; and it foreshadowed the desolation in which his ronderful career was doomed to close. Should the demon of conquest ever tempt the Sovereign of France, a glance at the blackened ruins of Macrae might serve as a lesson and a warning. Cambo is the Biarritz of the mountain. It affords during the spring and autumn seasons the plea sure and the benefit which are to be found at Biar ritz during the summer months. Its mineral waters, ferruginous and sulphurous, issue from beneath wooded rocks ; and the numerous votive offerings suspended to the roof of its church are a pious tes timony to their salutary power. The air of i••.;s val ley is soft and genial, and it attracts the visitor the moment the irst rays of the sun have tempered the rigour of winter. Upper Cambo stands on a lofty terrace, at the foot of which spreads out the valley in a circular form, bounded on the opposite side by an amphitheatre of verdant heights rising in grace ful lines behind each other ; while the surface of the ground itself, level as a bowling-green, is covered with meadows and fields of Indian corn, through which the silvery waters of the Nile wind along. The old village of Lower Cambo lies; at the opposite extremity, but is almost concealed from view in the shadow of a wooded eminence. A few detached houses appear here and there on the mea dows close to the bank of the stream, half con coaled by a curtain of willows and poplars, or rising on the summit and declivities of the hills, amid thick foliage. The small church stands outside the village, in the centre of what seems, at a distance, to be a garden covered with flowers, but which is the public cemetery, called in the dialect of the country Ilherri, or the region of the dead. It is customary with the Basque population to visit Catubo, as well as Biarritz, once in the year, and with a certain degree of solemnity. It is on the eve of St. John that the incursion takes place, and crowds of pilgrims flock from valley and mountain to its waters. The pilgrimage lasts 24 hours ; it is ac companied by dancing, and those shrill cries which so often before awoke the echoes of those hills aro incessant. The Basque mountaineer deems it au obligation to drink the mineral waters of Cambo once a year, as well as to bathe in the sea at, Biar ritz : and their great ablution takes place on the Sunday following the Assumption. Fortified with copious draughts of the mineral within, and the salt water of Biarritz externally, the Basque fears no evil that flesh is heir to, except it may be the blow of a cudgel from a rival, or a bullet from the musket of the Custom-house officer. Friday was not wholly favourable to the Impe rial visitors. As they were on the way to the gorge of the Pas de Roland, where the redoubtable Paladin opened with his battle-axe a passage in the mountain for the knights who followed his banner, the party was overtaken by a shower of rain—such a shower as falls in those mountains. They had time, however, to admire the picturesque scenery, and even to enjoy a repast iu the open air. They returned in the evening to Biarritz. The grounds of the Imperial villa at Biarritz offer no shelter nor recreation. The house stands on a low barren spot, so close to the sea that when the wind is high the spray dashes against the win dows. An attempt at planting has been made, but the plants do not appear to prosper, and the scant herbage hardly conceals the sandy soil on which it was sown. The palace is convenient for bathing, but it presents few advantages otherwise. For some days after the Emperor's arrival workmen were employed in stopping up the apertures , through which the water oozed into his private room. The Emperor's stay at this place will depend on the weather, which, until the last day or two, was very fine. A change, however, has occurred. High winds, a cloudy sky, and heavy and constant rain, do not allow any place to appear to advan tage, and Biarritz is not an exception. Many persons have already left, and others are leav ing daily, but their places aro more than filled by new comers. The importance of this place has so much increased in consequence of the railroad which now extends in an uninterrupted line from Paris to Bayonne, the establishment of pleasure trains from Bordeaux, and the presence of the Court during the summer months, that it is contemplated to con struct a tramway from Bayonne to Biarritz. The present uncomfortable conveyances and the extor tion attempted by some of the ordinary OrnlaiillUS proprietors render such an improvement desirable. It will probably be carried out before the next sea son commences. The crowd of visitors has increased so much that the local paper has ceased publishing the lists. No previous season has been so success- ful or so profitable to the town and neighbourhood as the present. From - Spain there is no political news deserving of notice. With slight exceptions, the country is tranquil ; but the same uncertainty prevails as to the future policy and fate of the O'Donnell Minis- try. The name of Narvaez is more frequently men tioned, and the probability of his superseding the present Government is more generally discussed. A person who has been himself one of the principal victims of the last revolution admits that the Pro gresista party is for the present crushed, and it is difficult to assign a term for its resuscitation. The want of decision or rather of foresight on the part of Espartero is admitted by his best friends, though some assert that he is not so much to blame as is generally supposed. He appears, however, to have lost all prestige even among the classes with whom he was most popular, and in the distaicts where his name was idolised he has completely fallen into discredit. General Gurrea and some others who figured in the late events, and who recently entered France as refugees, have, at the request of the Spanish Government, been sent to the interior. Their present destination is Bordeaux and Tours. Others who quitted Spain on the overthrow of the Polaco Government may be seen still hovering near the frontier. It is stated that a petition has been presented to the Lord Chancellor for winding up the affairs of the Royal British Rank. SUDDEN DEATH.—One of the passengers by the Tamar, which arrived at Southampton on Saturday last, put up at Murray's boarding-house in that town. On Sunday night be called the landlord, and mentioned that he was unwell, and desired him to get a nurse to sit up with him. Mr. Murray left for a few minutes to give h n e edthat the necessary instructions, and when he returned the stranger fell into his arms a nd ex p ired. It was with some di ffi culty that it could be i a t s w ce a r s ta a i e n n e e d rta w re his i friends resided. Flom his be was a Mr. Delany, and teat he was connected with the Pernambuco Railway. He had left Rio, where he had been stationed for the last six months, en account of ill health, but be evidently bad no idea that death for him was so near until a few moments before he died, and then he was unable to state who he was or where his friends resided. CAPTURE Or Two MONSTER SHARES.--C n Saturday morning the crew of a Pertktiockie boat, fishing at ]3roadtavcn, towed on shore what they and many others imagined to be the body of a respect bl whale. When first found it was alive and entangled amongst their nets ; but its effort s to relieve itself were so feeble that it was evidently in the struggles of death. It was sold for 2/. In the afternoon, however, some gentlemen who knew a little more of natural history than the first sight-seers who inspected the animal, declared that it was a basking shark, known by naturalists as the sgualus maximus. Further investigation and examination of tI e animal confirmed this assertion, and it is now believi d to be correct. The animal is about 30 feet long, and . was a very film specimen. On Monday nut another crow caught another of the like-species, and • of much the same size,—Scoisman.
