" Three new engines have been constructed out of work ing expenses, one of thorn is an addition to the stock, and the others take the places of two engines which were unfit for service, and consequently broken up. " Eight first-class carriages, constructed out of working expenses, will shortly be placed upon the line, so as to be available for the sutniner traffic ; and these, in addition to the vehicles in course of construction, are essential for the ' requirements of the increased traffic. "The carriage and waggon stock is in good working con dition, and the cost of maintaining it will be found to bear a satisfactory comparison with previous half-years. " The per ceutage which the working expenses bear to the total traffic receipt is—for locomotive department 11.84, and carriage department 2.78, making together 14.62, as compared with 15.63 of the corresponding period of 1855. when the army arrives in the country in such good order, 1 I beg distinctly to state that the credit of that is not due I to me. I boll the opinion that generals of division should thoroughly discipline their own divisions ; and in this case they did it. I do not know whether the generals of division have any fault to find with me, hut certainly I have no fault to find with them. They did their duty well. (Cheers.) I have now to thank Lady Somerville and many of my friends near me for the kindness EIIOWD t 4 my wife and, children daring my absence ; and I can only add that, if any of my humble performances, com hint(' with the gratifying and splew-liti reception which I have met with since my return to England, should in duce her Majesty's Government to employ me twain on active service, I sincerely hope that on my return I may m - et with the same recepti on an d the same . enthusiasm that I have experienced on this occasion.

TILE SEA OF AZOF. Captain Sherard Osborn;eß.N., in writing to a con ,emporary, says :--- "It appears to me so important that the Russians , hould not succeed in misleadingeeeebeemeeli• r*reeteerectiereerfAttlritTeaTt — nfethe - Voird we may .perhaps havrivain to visit as belligerents, that at the . tisk of it being thought highly improper I beg to correct rine part of your correspondent's news from the Crimea. ' • "He eayie quoting from Major Hamtnersley, Captain Brooke, or Mr. Sinclair, that there are no•wells on Ara. rat Spit, simply because they are not wanted, the Sea of Azef in its neighbourhood being perfectly drinkable. Now I assert that there are wells on Arabat Spit, that they exist on about the spots marked in the large Rus- S i an maps, and that the water in them is drinkable, whereas that of the Sea of Azof, from Genitchi along the Spit as far as , Point Kayantiss, is ealt, and unfit for man or beast. The only part of the Sea Azof where fresh water is procurable from the iurfaee of the sea, after the sea breaks up, is in the Gulf of Aeof, and that above the Krivaia or Crooked Spit, in the upper part of the Ouk.liout Liman, and, lastly, at the edge of the Delta of the river Kuban, and that only in places. These are facts which all the offi eere, French as well as English, can attest who served in the Sea of Azot. Evidently •from hearsay, the Eng. ;ish officers aro impressed with the idea that there is a tine 9.feet channel from Tchougar•bridge to Genitchi, e.nd a constant 'current running from Genitchi to Pe're .kep. ee." With respect to the former my doubts are based open two facts : " 1. If such a channel exists, why did not the Russians convey the provision, corn, and store li g ht ers, which we found them unloadi ng at Genitchi . , up to the bridge, instead of disembarking the stores, and using waggons and arabas to convey them by land over that very bridge oy a road which nearly doubled the distance ? To get those lighters and small craft into Genitchi harbour they had to pass a bar, whereon was never found mere than 63 feet, and often as little as 4ft. 6in. When that dif ficulty was surmounted, surely ascending a 9ft. channel would have been easy work. " 2. I, with two intelligent officers and eight seamen, spent two days and nights trying to find a channel out of the wide marshes, improperly marked Putrid Sea, into the narrow part over which the bridge of Tchongar is thrown. We landed on the Tchongar peninsula, and stood within a few feet of their road ; yet the deepest water we ever found in any part of that sea-was 4ft. 6in., and for miles it was quite as much as we could do to liget our light boats through seaweed and slime. I be eve there is 7ft. or 9ft. of water under the centre of the bridge, but there is either a bar or a most tortuous channel between it and Genitchi. That there is a space of water between the peninsula of Tchongar (at its northern part), and a point three miles west of Genitchi, few who have Poked at it• from a ship's masthead can doubt; and, indeed, we often. saw Russian boats tra versing it. With respect to the current always setting into the Sivash or Putrid Sea, we found it vary very much, and depend mainly upon the direction of. the wind. An east wind would cause the water to flow into it from the Sea of Azoff, and raise the depth about two feet upon the bar ; whereas, with the lightest air from the weetweed, the current immediately turned and the waters fell. "Li thee, :bent portion of Vivit.L, 11.0 vw lud, blow ing from eastward, heaped the water up as it were on the western shore, and vice versa, the difference of depth at such times between the two casts being, according to Tartar accounts, nearly two feet ; a point difficult to de termine, for the bottom of the Sivash slopes very gradu ally towards the centre; although, as your correspondent observes, the Crimean coast is everywhere abrupt, being, indeed, the vertical edge of a steppe. "I will trespass no further upon your space than to ex press my regret that your correspondent, much more British officers, should have lent themselves to further the propagation of Russian fictions, by asserting that the squadron under the late Captain Lyons did little or no damage to Arabat Fort. It was, as fir as my memory serves me, silenced, the magazine blown up, and had not the allied squadron more important work to do at Ge nitchi or Taganrog, the place would have been sum moned ; and I believe it had but to be summoned to surrender. Although having no men to spare, General Wrangel's 13,000 men would have forced us to be rapid in our movements, and perhaps given the enemy a better victory than that of Arabat, all we can pray is that they may never win a better one. SILK EXPORTS FROM CIIINA. The rapidly increasing consumption of China silk in Europe must have considerably exceeded the most san guioe expectations, and if, as is probable, under the prospect of peace, the consummation is to be still fur ther extended, is our supply likely to ,meet the demand ? We think this doubtful, even with our present prospects of a very fine crop, and upon which point all well in formed native merchants are agreed. The first crop is reported as likely to yield eight fun—that is, from each catty of silkworms' eggs the product will be eight cat ties of cocoons, and which is admitted to be a full crop ; for the success of the second and third crops there is seldom much apprehension, as the weather is always more favourable than for the first ; we may therefore perbaps not be considered as over estimating the export of next season if we put it at 63,000 bales • and, although this will b e b e y on d a ll prece d ent, we think the wants of the West will nearly or quite equal the supply, even on the above estimates. During the season now closing our export will have reached nearly 55,000 bales, and, although much of it has cost very high rates, the result will on the whole be satisfactory. Of old silk we be lieve there never was a smaller stock at Hoo-chaou, and, if the report of native brokers may be relied upon, the stock of raw silk is entirely exhausted, though a few hundred bales of throwns remain on hand. We must therefore look entirely to the new crop to supply our wants for the coming season ; and the following state ment of exports from China for the past five years, against which we place the deliveries in England for the same number of years, will show that consumption is progressing in a greater ratio than supply. Our state ments of China exports are made from the Ist of July to the 30th June, while the deliveries in! England are made up from the Ist January to the 31st December in each year :—There were exported from China to En rape. in 1850 51, 22,100 bales; in 1851.52, 23,000 bales; in 185253, 25,600 ; in 1853-54, 62,000 bales; and in 1854-55, 51,500 bales ; including shipments from , Shanghai and Canton to France direct, and from Eonngllyand(a wsmeraell quantity) to India. The d e li during the year 1851, 2,1,467 - b vSe a hr l a e ine s sg ; hin i a n i 1852, 24,456 bales ; in 1853, 33,926 bales ; in 1854, 51,427 bales ; and in 1855, 55,295 bales. From the Ist of January to the lst of March in 1856 there were delivered in London alone 9,814 bales of China silk, or at the rate of 58,884 bales per annum, exclusive of the deliveries in Franco, from the direct importations, and which latter have been variously estimated at from therefore, we tak e th e mean of 4,000 to 6,000 bales. Thi s trade is evidently these esti mated the in ;tif'ports to F rance, and add them to the above ofr cm a ra t e e atesdein deliveries in England, we have a consumption of China silk in Europe estimated at 64,000 bales, or some thing in excess of our probable export for the coming eeason. With these prospects and high quotations from London, added to the high rate of exchange ru li n g here, we are apprehensive that our opening rates may not prove very encouraging to early ship pers, as it must be borne in mind that even with peace prospects at home high prices may check con sumption in some degree ; it will therefore require great caution on this side ; yet we doubt not, it the home markets are not swamped by excessive ship ments early in the season, as was the case in 1852.53, the results will be as satisfactory as the above figures would lead shippers to expect.—North China (Shanghai) Herald. RUSSIAN CUSTOMS DUTl ES. — Theßussian Government has recently published several new customs arrange ments. Foreign merchandise, the importation of which is authorised by the land frontiers, or at any port with tower duties, may be conveyed by sea to ports where tle highest duties are levied, on condition of the importer paying the complement of the duty. Frcrn the let August next the duty of 3 rou bl es 70 k opecks (the ria.92ll3Ponisc4it)ees per (16+ kilos.) es t a bli s h e d b y the general reduced, on importation by sea, to 3 roubles. The import duties now in vigour both b . ‘ land, conformably to the ukase of the 23d June, 1854, and by sea, according to the general tariff, are maintained until' the revision of the latter, 61,392 LS 1[ 18,024 711 637 11 81 42,730 17 4 "It is satisfactory to remark that'while the traffic has increaseepuring the half-year by the sum of 61,3921.165. ld. the working expenses have only increased by the sum of 18,024/. 7s. ld., being at the rate of 29'36 per cent. on the gross increased receipts. It will be observed that the latter sum includes 6,8491. 17s. 21., the amount expended during the half-year, out pf revenue, in the renewal of part of the pernianvnt ~ .<y, and the laying additional sleepers on the Southam • and Dorchester line. "The works betwe Nadever 'efid..S4l . lBbury -are f larrojaaaasingataiftfirltrco is o that line throughout to Salisbury in the ineititla of March, 1-57. The Royal Agricultural Society have resolved to , , held their next annual meeting at Salisbury in, July,- 1857, on an assurance to his effect. " In May last the company launched their second new steamer, the Havre, the cost of which it ispropnsecl to liqu date by instalments out of revenue. The present half year's revenue has not been charged with any such instal ment, but it has borne 5,000'. and upwarthrof the balance standing to the charge of the Alliance—the remainder of that balance having been supplied by the sale of disused vessels. By moans of these two splendid steamers, the traffic between Southampton and Havre is now being most satisfactorily carried on, both as regards economy and speed. The passage by sea is reduced to an average of about eight bourn and a quarter, and the through journey be tween Landon and Paris by that route has lately been per formed in 16 hours. • "It has become necessary at the present time to call the attention of the proprietors to the unpaid share' capital of the company. "The item in the annexed account `capital uncalled, 404,010/. 6s. Bd.,' consist' of shares which have from time to time fallen into, or been left in the hands of the corn pany, and on which nothiag has been paid. The company's powers for borrowing forgeneral purposes are exhausted, whilst the completion of the line from Andover to Salis bury, the enlargement of the Nine Elms station, autho rised in 1855, and (if the present increase of traffic con- Urines) the provision of acditiopal rolling stock, and the outlay required for additicnal station accommodation and sidings, will in the next two years call for a considerable expenditure on capital account. The powers acquired by the company in their recent sets are such as authorise the disposal of this unpaid share capital in almost any form deemed most favourable for tle company's interests. After giving the subject muob counderation, the directors re commend that of this capital an amount sufficient to give the present registered proprietors of the ordinary stock of the company 5 per cent, on the amount of their respective holdings, shall be distributed amongst them at par, on the following terms and conditions, viz. 25 per cent., or one-fourth, to be paid down on distribution, 25 per cent., or one-fourth, „ on January 1, 1857, 25 per Gent., or one-fourth, „ July 1, 1857, 25 per cent., or one-fourth, „ January 1, 1858, to bear dividend according to the amounts paid and time of payment. Under this arrangement each proprietor holding 1,0001. will have an allotment of 501., upon which he will pay down 121. 10s., and subsequently the-371. 10s. at the dates above mentioned,,which will make the instalments easy, and not likely to cause any diminution of dividend. All larger or smaller holders will take benefit in the same proportion, but it is suggested that no fractional part of a pound should be allotted. " No dividend will be paid on any instalment in arrear, and interest at Si. per cent. per annum will be charged on, arrears. Any allottee desirous to prepay these instalments. and consolidate his stock at once, will be privileged to do so by paying 6 per cent. inte res t oa all the calls from the let 0f.Ju1y,1.856, to the day of payment, This will en-. title the holder thereof to the fall dividends on the whole amount. "In the company's amendment act of 1855, powers were obtained authorising the creation of a stock for the purpose of paying off, or lessening, the existing debenture debt, as occasion should arise. The advantage derivable from such a measure is twofold. The company would thereby settle on satisfactory terms the rate of interest on its loan (ea-4- tel. eea eeeet not wl2.y Like er-peuit3 incident to the perio dical renewals of their obligations, but the risk of such renewals becoming uocessary at unfavourable states of the money market. The lender would obtain a preferential stock of the first class, certain as to its income, peculiarly applicable for trust investments and settlements, and easily disposable in the market. The powers conceded by the act not being exerciseable without the previous consent of the proprietors, the directors recommend that they should be authorised to act upon them as they may deem most expe dient, and they will at the meeting propose a resolution for that purpose. "At recent meetings discussions have arisen as to the liability of the company to double the Southampton and Dorchester line, provided the Board of Trade should so re quire. In the course of the present year memorials, nume rously and influentially supported, have been presented to that board, prayin g t h eir interference, which have led to several communications between the Directors and the Board of Trade. After giving their best attention to the subject, the directors have thou ht it advisable to under take the doublingof 20 miles of this line during the ensuing twelve months. " The Staines and Wokingham line was opened for traffic on the 4th of June, as far as Ascot, and on the 9th of July to Reading, and bids fai r t o become an important feeder to the Windsorline. The line is workedby this couapany, under a temporary arrangement between the two companies, until the requirements of the traffic are more fully de veloped, when it is proposed that a permanent working agreement should be concluded. "The branch line from Dorchester to Weymouth is now nearly completed, and will shortly be opened for traffic. It will be completed with the mixed gauge, and this company has the right to work th e i r trains over it to the town of - Weymouth. This company, pursuant to the provisions of the act as to the mixed gauge, have also laid down an addi tional single rail for a distance of 8 miles from Dorchester towards Wareham, to accommodate the broad-gauge traffic. "The legislation of the present session of Parliament has been very important as respects this company's interests. " The Exeter Extension Bill has passed into a law, and the directors have satisfaztion in adding that not a single clause has been inserted, nor arrangement enforced with any landowner or other local interest, of an onerous charac ter. The proprietors, therefore, may justly feel that the works will he executed (and especially as regards the pecu liar privileges accorded last year respecting the capital), under circumstances much more free from objection than usual. " All the arrangements with the Salisbury and Yeovil Company, although special in their character, and beyond the usual practice of Parliament under similar circum stances, have, so far as the standing orders would permit them to be brought before Parliament been sanctioned, and have now the force o f l aw . b ut this company's option, under the agreement, concluded after the special meeting of January last, of requiring a lease of the Salisbury and Yeovil line, and to purchase it on the terms then specified, could not be obtained in the present year. " Two branches have been sanctioned from tho South ampton and Dorchester Railway, viz.—from a point near the Brokenhurst station to Lymington, and from a point near the Wimborne station to Blandford. Both are to be constructed by independent companies, at their own ex pense, and each act contains provisions authorising the conclusion of working arrangements with this company for a period of ten years. " With the Lymington Company, the directors have, subject to the approval of the proprietors, entered into an agreement to maintain and work their railway, when com pleted, at 50 per cent. of its gross receipts. This arrange ment, and its incidental details, the proprietors will be re quested to sanction at the coming meeting. The directors suggest that powers to negotiate with the Blandford Branch Company, should also be accorded to them. " An act has also been passed for constructing a market house at Salisbury, at a short distauce from the terminus of the/Basingstoke and Salisbury Branch, with a railway to connect it with that line. These works are to be wholly constructed and maintainedat the cost of their proprietors, and by largely increasing the market accommodation at Salisbury they cannot fail to contribute to the traffic of the Salisbury and Yeovil and the z ail ways of this company. The works being cot structed on the same gauge as this company's lines, it has been arranged that the Market Branch Lino shall be worked by this company, and that they shall have the control of all the persons employed thereon. These terms the directors will request power at the ensuing meeting finally to conclude. " By the act of the present session the Brighton Com pany are authorised to accept a lease from the Wimbledon and Croydon Company of their line of railway, about 84 miles in length. Th e re nt is 1,8201. p er annum, being at the rate of interest of 4 per cent. on the cost of the lino. The directors have, subject to the sanction of the proprie tors, agreed with the directors of the Brighton Company that this company shall participate equally in this lease— an arrangement which must be mutually advantageous. The sanction of the proprietors will be asked thereto at the ensuing meeting, the Brighton proprietors having at a recent meeting confirmed it." The following is the report of the locomotive and car riage superintendent : " Locomotive Department, Nine Elms, July 10, 1851. TO THE CHAIRMAN AND DIRECTORS OF THE LONDON AND SOUTH-WESTERN RAILWAY COMPANY. " Gentlemen,—The cost of maintaining the engines, car riages, and waggons, during the half-ye ar j ust expired,' has been at the rate of 10.791 per train mile, the corresponding period of last year being 10.66 d. The slight increase arises from the traffic having been considerably heavier, and the goods train miles 21 per cent. greater. " The stock of engines has been maintained in an efficient condition, and this is substantiated by the fact of the pi loting being reduced from 29,255 to 14,658 miles, or at the gate off 0 per cent. "The average consumption. of coals and coke has been 21.71 b per train mile ; but upon the quantities being sepa rated, and the c oa l s re d uce d t o their coke value, the rate for passenger and goods trains would be 18.31 b per mile.

C.B. -,...5K ni uru;Ory addreSieWAS presented, and a public breakfast given, to the above distinguished officer, at Leamington, on Teesday, when General WINDIIAM said — la.diegandgent!emen, this is the second great compliment that I have received at the hands of my friends, the inhabitants of Leamington. The first was a spontaneous burst of good feeling on my arrival. This, which is more elaborate and more ma tured, is; I am happy to say, more honourable to roe ; and I think, as it is not only addressed to in eeelf but to the army, it is more honourable to you. Before I pro ceed to touch upon any part of the service that I or the army performed in the Crimea, I wish to thank the committee of management for having chosen to give, as an entertainment, a breakfast instead of a dinner. The choice of this entertainment allowed us to have the plea sure of the company of a great many of the ladies, and a vast portion of the beauty and youth of Leaming ton ; and lam perfectly certain that I speak the senti ments, not only of myself, but of every soldier here present, that the committee could not have selected a better method of showing respect to me or them. If I were of a suspicious nature, I might perhaps conclude that so many young ladies did not come here to look at a married man turned forty, but that they came hen exhibiting their eyes to my gallant aide•de-camp, Gip tarn Earle, and my young friend Lieut. Musgrave, an( other gallant young heroes assembled at this table. (Laughter.) Let me add, also, if my suspicions be con root, that they could not show a juster or more proper compliment to the young officers of the army who served so ardently an d we ll, w h om fortune has not permitted to attain the same benefits which I have reaped, bin whose services were just as dangerous for them to pier form as ever mine were to me. (Loud cheers.) There are scores of regimental officers that lam acquainted with whose services, I am perfectly convinced, wen quite equal to mine, simply with this difference, that i was an older officer, and, therefore, bad more men under me. I served chiefly on the staff, but I had also a good deal of duty to perform in the trenches, and, therefore, know remarkably well the difference, of the two services. I do think that those officers who went through the whole campaign in the trenches ,of Sebastopol deserve the thanks of every individual in this country. It is all mighty fine to canter down to he trenches for a few minutes, as I did before I was rode a , brigadiengeneral. It is very well to expose one elf to sudden danger, which is soon over and soon forgotten ; but it is a different thing to go day after day, night after night, through dirt, wet, misery, destitute of comfdrt, yet always to have sufficient moral force to say that, be , cause it is my duty, I will not give in. (Cheers.) Thal is precisely what the unnoticed regimental officers did during the seige of Sebastopol. lam sure there is to body at this table who would not have thought I should have been the last man to receive such an address, anc to have met with such a reception as I have experiencied Fon this occasion. Had my old friend and late comman der, Sir George Cathcart, been pointed out as the Man 1 to have stood here, to receive the applause of hundreds —TA 0n:,,,, • Of thorics,-,deil—zan und woufa nave been surprised. His general character as a soldier, his pre vious services were so well known, that nothing would have been more likely ; but that I, a bumble individual, who has received, certainly, his friendly shake of tie band and his desire for my advancement, but that of nr one else—l say that, perhaps, the last man in the whoh British army that any one would have selected to be honoured by such a reception would have been myself, (Cheers.) There were a vast number of other officers connected with this locality whom one might have sup posed to be infinitely more likely than myself to have stood here. There were the Adarnses, the Shirleye— men of my own standing—the Shuckburgbs, the Somer villes, and other young men, many of whom, I am sorry to say, it has pleased Providence to remove ; but I may thank God for a most remarkable interposition. I landed in the Crimea on the 14th of September, 1854. I was Pre sent at Alma, where I had nothing to do. I was present at Balaklava, where I had almost as little to do. I was present at the attack of the 20th of October, where again I had nothing to do ; and, lastly, I came down to the battle of Inkerinan, where I had a good deal to do. (Laughter.) And I hope that, as I received the approbation of those placed above me for doing my duty, I did that duty well. The Fourth Division lost all its generals, killed or wounded ; 740 men and officers wore killed, out of 2,200; and I, unfortunately, had to write my own despatch, and, perhaps, was fool enough not to make the best of it. However, it is a great loss for an officer to lose a general on such an occasion. It passed on, however, and I went through the siege doing my duty, not having really anything to perform more than other people, until I came to the attack upon the Redan. i I should wish you all distinctly to understand, that I Was no volunteer for that assault. I was ordered to do it, and I did no more than I was ordered to do. I led the Second Division, but the Light Division led the attack. I have seen constantly in the papers that I absolutely led the whole assault.. I did not, and I wish my country men to know it. I never was a man that asked for false honours. (Cheers.) A. brave and gallant wan—a War wickshire roan, moreover—tossed up with ins for the choice oflead. That man was Col. Unett—the son of old Mr. Unett, of Birmingham. He won the toss, and chose the lead. I have nothing to say but that I had not the choice, and I will even go so far as to say that Ido not know that I should have chosen the lead, even if I could. (Laughter.) Oae thing is quite clear, however, that I did not lead it. Col. Unett was displaced in the morn ing by Gen. Shirley, who came to take the command of the brigade, and I believe the lead ultimately fell to Major Welsford, of the 97th, and to Colonel Handcock. These gallant officers fell, and though the Light Division that led us went on gallantly, one thing is certain, that if those two officers had not fallen, the men might have rushed into the battery, and the whole thing have been altered, but as no one can control his life, so no offi cer, however brave, can control a stubborn fight of that kind. Col. Unett was badly wounded in the attack. He shook hands with me on the ground. After he was drawn 1,500 yards from the Redan he was struck again through the back with a shell and killed. As far as regards my own business in the assault, I followed close upon the Light Division, entered the battery, did all that I could to get things into a proper form, and I am happy to say that my exertions met with the appro val of that respected officer and Commander-in•Cnief, Sir James Simpson. I also met the approval of my gallant friends, Lieut.-General Markham and Sir Wm. Codrington. As all those officers have thought proper to give me due thanks for what I did, I think you will excuse me troublin g you further upon the subject. Often as I have looked over the bloody list of all the separate parties of those who were cut off—the leaders being absolutely killed, with the exception of Colonel Lysons (of the 23d), Colonel Maude (of the 3d Buffs), both of whom gallantly went on and were wounded, and Major Lewis—l say that, when I look over that list, I congratulate myself on having escaped. Though that day was a heavy day for many, it was a fine day for me ; for it brought me before the notice of a favourable pub lic and well-feeling a-my. (Cheers.) Her Majesty deigned to make me a Major-General. That gave me the command of the fourth division ; and, lastly, with. out any applicatio n o f my own , I was made Chief of the Staff. (Cheers.) Why her Majesty should have chosen me for the Chief of the Staff I am not competent to say. All I can say is, that I never asked for the appointment, nor should I have taken it unless Sir William Codring ton had especially asked me to do so. I have known that officer for many years, and if a man who has served under him may I e al • ved to make a remark concerning him, I would plainly say that I thoroughly respect him, both as a man and a soldier. I think the country will learn, and soon discover, that they have in him a good and valuable public servant. It is not for me to say more on that subject. As far as regards the duties of Chief of the Staff, I did not find them near so difficult to perform as'l had anticipated. The truth is, that I had at head-quarters a very able body of officers. With the excepticn of Colonel Herbert, Colonel Blayne (both good men), and myself, the others were old hands at the business, and I must say that Colonel Pakenham is one of the best officers to fill the position of Adjutant- General in her Majesty's service. Therefore, re ceiving as I did the assistance of such an able staff—and Sir William Codrington commanding his own army, which he certainly did—l had nothing to do but merely to refer points to him which I thought questionable, and then convey to my junior officers the orders to be carried out. I found the task a most easy one ; and, therefore, O.) Tuesday evening a splendid dinner was given at the Cut!. rs' hall, by the inhabitants of Sheffield, to the officers of the 4th Royal Irish Dragoon Guards, on the occasion of their arrival in that town on their return from the Crimea.

TEWKESBURY, WEDNESDAY. The final examinatiok .3.1 Mr. Cornelius Evans, late manager of the Tewke ery branch of .the tr-lotioestar atiire-Bank;;.6 Compan ) toOK plauo uu.t.t. j -.1, the hall here, before Nathaniel Chandler, Rig., deputy mayor of the borough, and a full bench of magistrates. The charge against the prisoner, it will be recollected, is e that of having embezzled moneys of the bank to the 0 amount of 3,2301. during last year, and up to the period ' e of his being succeeded, in April last, by the present manager, Mr. Appleby. - When the prisoner was be- fore the magistrates on the former occasion further in vestigation was deferred, in order to give him an op portunity of retaining counsel. Mr. Huddleston now appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Skinner (both of the Oxford Circuit) for the accused. The court was crowded to excess during the inquiry. The evidence of the witnesses examined on the former inquiry was repeated, and the witnesses were severally cross-examined by Mr. Skinner. Mr. Appleby, the new manager, described how the discrepancy was discovered in the accounts when ho went through them in the beginning of the present month. The: deficiency was discovered on the 2d July. He saw the prisoner that morning, when be told him there would be a deficiency to the amount of 1,750/., and offered Mr. H. Br6wn, M.P.'s cheque for 1,0001. to his (Evans's) debit. Evans said nothing about the re maining sum of 1,500/. still deficient. Mr. Maitland, the managing director, spoke to dis agreements between him and the prisoner on account of Evans wishing to extend the operations of the bank by a more liberal system of credit, which witness did not countenance. When he examined the quarterly balances with Evans, they appeared correct - , the deficiency was not discoverable, and nothing was said about a loan of 1,0001. having been advanced to Mr. H. Brown, M.P. Evans's salary commenced at 2501., with house-rent and taxes free, and was gradually increased to 4001. Had no idea of any defalcation when he left. Mr.Chadborn, clerk at the Gloucestershire Branch Bank at Tewkesbury, having affirmed his former evi• dente as to the mode in which the balances were " cooked " by Lim for the last three quarters ending Mara, 1856, by Evans's orders, viz , by falsifying the balances due to some four or five customers to the extent of 1,7501., deposed that he believed Evans told him that there was security for the advance to Mr. Brown, M.P. Mr. Brown's two cheques for 5001. each, which Evans handed in at the beginning of the present July, when Mr. Appleby discovered the defalcations, were dated April, 1855. Mr. S. Baker, chairman of the directors of the bank, deposed that in consequence of what had transpired he went to the defendant at his residance at Beedon on the 4th instant, and asked him to explain the deficiency of the 1,5001., when Evans admitted that there was a " difference " of 3,250/., stating that be had already put right 1,7501. of that amount ; but he added, " I am not disposed to give you any expianation of the 1,5001." In consequence of this Evans was afterwards taken into custody. O❑ eross:examination, Mr. Baker stated that Evans held ten shares in the bank. The defendant was not dismissed from his situation, he resigned it, and when he left, a sum of 3001. was given to him by way of gra. tuity, to cover any claim he might have upon the bank in respect of repairs, &c., done to the house. The bank had nu idea at that time that there was any deficiency in the accounts. Mr. Skinner then addressed the bench for the accused, urging the absence of all felonious motive in the transac- tion of 1,7501. As to the 1,5001., Mr. Evans might probably at the proper time make sume explanation. The prisoner, being then formally called upon, said he should reserve his defence. He was then fully committed for trial at the next Gloucestershire assizes, and it. was intimated that bail would be accepted for his appearance—himself in 2,0001. and two sureties in 1,0001. each. A RUSSIAN PRIEST FASTING IN THE CAUCASUS.—The Russian Government bas for some time installed priests of the Russo-Greek Church in Ossetia. According to the notion of these priests it constitutes a deadly sin to eat meat, or any animal produce, such as milk, eggs, &c., during their long fasts ; and they have begun to preach fasting to their new flocks. But the Ossetian men were scandalised at this. "God," said they, "is very sparing of corn to us on our mountains, and has left us entirely to be supported by our herds and flocks. We shall die of hunger if we abstain for 40 days from the enjoyment of that which God has given us to support life. But if it be really God's will that we should fast, he will keep us in health and strength, without any food ; and in order to see if this be really the case, we will make the experi ment on yos priests." A tribe near Viadikaukas made the first experiment of shutting up their parson. No bread was given to him, but a glorious piece of roast beef, baked in butter and grease, was laid before him on the table. The unhappy curator of souls was a good deal distressed, but he managed to hold out the first day. On the second day, however, the good Pope was overcome by the ass au lt s o f th e fl es h , an d attac k e d the joint of beef a 3 bravely as if it had been the eve of the carnival. Hereupon the Ossetian chiefs joined him, laughing hes! , is the will tily. "y ou see now," they said, "that it of God we should enjoy, at all seasons, the gifts he has presented to us." And at these words they sat down beside the shepherd of their souls, and , helped hi m t o despatch the roast beef he had attacked. The strict accuracy of this occurrence has . been guarant ee d t o me on the best authority. --.TraVelB 21D Anta l C 4 .1 from the Oman of Or. Moritz Wagner. DUBLIN, JULY 30. TB . F.

The tHals of the rtelriaree,n charged with the murder or attempted mukt..; during t..4e- TCPC 4 P Irrust4nrat lien ag h were conti nue d yester,lay at the ASRizea .itt:that 'town. The same CotingilVitge,ligtigtd - nsTon the preceding. d ay , Thomas Carr, - .t Eire ere-pored of than:ft:li, Tipperary militia, was indicted fee' firing it icsellier named Cherles Fox, with intent to *nA__stlizo -wjth firing -4t a police-constable named a l generally with firing at 50 of her Nraj fro. - the intent to commit murder. The Attorney-General, who stated the case, observed that the prisoner was a ringleader in the unfortunate affair, and be was almost the only one of the nnn-com,- missioned officers who took any part in the riots, the others having all endeavourcA to bring back the men to or.ler. Several witnesses having been examined, Mr. Johnstone addressed the jury on the part of the pris mer, and contended that there was not sufficient evi dence to identify : him as having, taken any active part ; that be could not be said to have fired at any of the in dividuals specifically named in the indictment, and that there was nothing to show the guns were loaded. The prisoner reeeieed an admirable character from the Rev. Mr. WitcHt rt Judge Moore cearged the jury, who in a few minn fp s returned a verdict of guilty on the third count f or firing with intent to murder some of the rnillt.arv. Cornelius Ryan, IV. Cummins, and E Lqfxn, were next arraigned upon an' indiclampt for sbootng at the military escort, in Barrackstrest, with intent to murder. Mr. Johnstone said that having read the id rmations he would not trouble the court or waste time, as the pri• soners were willing to plead guilty. Thev threw them selves upon the mercy of the court and s.f the executive, and for the commis =ion of the acts of which they bad been. guilty they now felt sincere regret. They acted under the excitement of the moment, and under the idea that they were to have been deprived of some of the advan tages promised to them when enlisting. They were now deeply sensible of having acted wrongly. The Attorney-General felt bound to say that the pri soners acted very properly in adopting the very judicious adgice given to them. As public prosecutor he felt bound to have the law vindicated, and to showmen, whether in arms or civilians, that they could not transgress the law without beirg. punished ; but he world not interpose any objections to effect the merciful consideration of the exe lcutive on. the part of the m en w h o pleaded oiStz,.. : or who oad h . o.an . • ar.

Boner Ryan a goed character, pa did also Dr. Bagwell; of the same regiment. ' Samuel Lawrence, a civilian, was then placed at the bar, charged with exeitine: Stephen Brown, the man convicted of the murder of the soldier Patrick Curley, to the commission of that crime. The Attorney-General applied for the postponement of the trial until the next, a , eizse, the case not being yet sufficiently made out ; and he took that opportunity to 'express his thanlot to the military authorities for the great prudence and discretion which they had shown. They had displayed an amount of temper and forbear ance which was most creditable, while at the same time adopting the most efficient means of protecting life and property from outrage. Their calm decision and wise forbearance were equally remarkable, and from the highest officer to the humblest soldier, their forbearance, calmness, and activity in repressing outrage proved most exemplary. Had it not been for this forbearance, the town might have witnessed more fearful scenes of blood shed, and far more lives have been lost on this melan choly occasion. Their con•itiet was beyond a ll p ra i se . Judge Moore fully concurred in the very high opinion expressed as to the forbearance, discretion, and humanity displayed) by the military. The Attorney-General wished to add that there existed great mi&apprehension as to the treatment of the militia. The Lord-Lieutenant had been always most anxious not merely to do the men justice, but to do more for them than they could demand as of right. As to the taking away of a part of the regimental clothing and putting it in store, this was absolutely necessary, for otherwise when called together for training, a great portion of their bounty might have been appropriated to the purpose of new clothing. Thteanxious desire of the executive was to act towards the whole of the militia force with Me' rality, and in a fair and jest.spirit. THE SENTENCES. John Bannon and Thomas Carr were then placed at the bar to receive sentence. His lordship said—You have been tried and convicted for shooting at some of her Najesty's forces with intent to commit murder, and the evieence against you laid before the jury was per feed:, conclusive as to your guilt. It was impossible for them, or for any conscientious jury, to come to any other conclusion than they did. They have, however, strongly recommended you to mercy, and, so far as I have it in my power, I shall give effect to that recommendation. Cornelius Ryan, William Cummins, and Edward Laffan. you were indicted for a similar offence, and have pleaded guilty, and never did counsel give more judicious or more proper advice than in recommending you to take the step which you have done. And I am happy to believe and think that when you consented to act upon the advice of that counsel you did so from a feeling of contrition upon your parte, and from regret at he - ving• - • been betrayed into the commission of the crime of which you have pleaded guilty. It is very deeply to be la mented that you were betrayed by any circumstances into such a crime. You resorted to open acts of violence in a populous town, which ended in the deaths of several persons. I feel convinced that you acted under very great excitement indeed. I feel that that excitement was caused by what I hope may turn out a gross misappre hension, and I would be disposed to go as far as I could to find palliating circumstances in your respective cases, but as judge, sitting here, I have a duty to discharge, and I shall not swerve from it. ' I must discharge that duty, acting under the obligation of theoath which I have sworn. I shall, however, as far as possible give effect to the recommendation of the jury, and bring under the consideration of the head of the Government whatever can be urged on your part—a nobleman whose humanity and compassionate tenderness and indulgence for the weakness of human failings are only to be equalled by the firmness with which he discharges the duties of his high office. It is not for me to say whether the recom mendation will be attended to. I will give to it every effect, and you have theassurance of theAttorney-Gene ral that be will not offer any obstructions towards a le nient consideration of your respective cases. I have how ever my duty to discharge, and in the discharge of it must pass upon pap a verysevere sentence, and that sen tence is that you each be transported for the term of 15 years. Tne prisoners looked somewhat astounded at the sen tence, but made no observation. Stephen Burns was then brought up, and asked if he had anything to say why sentence of death and execution should not be passed upon him for the murder of Patrick Curley. lie made n 1 reply, but stood calmly and firmly at the bar. Judge Moore then briefly addressed him and said— Yop have been found guilty of the wilful murder of a soldier of the name of Patrick Curley, and there is no doubt that the unfortunate man lost his life at your hand. He was iu the service of her Majesty ; he had served with great distinction, and baying escaped all the pe rils of the recent war, he returned home to meet his death by your hand. I believe you acted under cir cumstaum, like the other man convicted, of great ex citement, but I am sure you now are deeply conscious that no excitement ought loran instant to have led you to commit the fearful crime of murder, and that against an unoffending man. Nothing would be further from my wishes than to say anything calculated to aggravate your own feelings at what has passed. Yon are, no doubt, perfectly convinced of the aggravated character of your offence, causing the death of a fellow•creature. However great your crime, it was not attended with all the circumstances of atrocity that have too frequently characterised the offences committed in this county. You did not know the man who fell by your hand. Yon certainly, as far as 1 4an ascertain, bore him no but rash and excited—l might say by drink—you de prived that unfortunate soldier of his life. I have no power to give effect to the recommendation to mercy of the jury. It is not in my power in the slightest degree to alter or vary that awful sentence of the law, but the recommendation of the jury will be laid by me before the head of the Government, but it is not in my power to hold out to you any hopes. I cannot say there is no hope, but all I can say is that I will transmit the re commendation of the jury to his Excellency the Lord- Lieutenant. The learned judge then proceeded to pass sentence of death and execution upon a day to be subse quently named. The men found guilty of attacking the military near Templemore, at the races, were senteliced to tan months' imprisonment. Judge Moore intimated that he had altered his opi nion as to the validity of the three cownts in the indict ment charging the Tipperary Militia rioters with firing generally at her Majesty's troops without naming the latter specifically ; and he would not reserve the case for the Court of Crimindl Appeal, should his views after full consideration remain the same as at present. The trial at the Kildare Assizes relative to the Italian professorship of Trinity College has not yet terminated. STOPPAGE OF THE FRASCATI RAILWAY. - -A letter from Rome of the 24th states that the railway from that city to Frascati has been stopped by order of th e Govern ment. It was, after its opening, at work for a week, during which time the whole affair was a continued suc cession of mismanagement. i On th e 21 s t it was closed in order that an examination into its con s t ruct i on may place, after if the res u lt b e sat i sfactory, it in open to the p u bli c. Hill le b THE SIIKHS. —The G ov e rnment of the Punjaub has just published a report upon the census taken on the last day of 1855. Tliis document, among other facts of interest, contains the announcement that the Sikh Mi. gion is expiring. There are no Sikhs by birth, the disciples being initiated when able to answer for them selves. Since the annexation of the country the number of the initiated has gradually declined. No longer a dominant caste, the Sikhs find their religious isolation inconvenient and burdensome. They have therefore ceased to initiate their children, who remain pure Hin doos, and are not taught to reverence the gruntls. So rapid has been the change that it is believed the next generation will witness the total extinction of the creed. The division of Lahore which contains Umritsur, the sa cred city of the Sikhs, and which comprises their strong. hold, comprises 3,500,000 inhabitants ; of these only 200,000, or less than 6 per cent., are Sikhs.
