( Front the Morning Advertiser.) Mr. Cobden having proved, that is, asserted, for his assertions are proof, that the conquest of the Crimea, the capture of Nicolaieff, the investment of Perekop, the attack of the Danubian forts, the occupation of Odessa (its bombardment would be " infamy"), the pea session of every place in Southern Russia within fifty miles of the Black Sea, the loss of Georgia and the Trans-Caucasian provinces, the destruction of Cronstadt, and every strong place on the Baltic, and the annihila tion of her fleets, would be trifles that could have no possible affect in bringing Russia to terms, proceeds to show that the demolition of her trade would not be one whit more effectual. This commercial, as well as military and marine, in ♦ulnerability of Muscovy consists in her protective tariff, and her prohibitive system, from which, according to Mr. Cobden, no other country in the world has ever " suffered so much !" " It would be difficult to say whether the injury has fallen more heavily on the Government er people, the former through its loss of Customs revenue, the latter owing to the security and high price of manufactures and the misdirection of their capital and labour." By this admirable policy Russia is preserved because she is impoverished ; for, as Mr. Cobden profoundly urges, you cannot ruin ports which do not exist, pau perise merchants with nothing to lose, or stop the sup ply of tea, sugar, or fu,tians from Moojiks who don't import them. The poorer a people, the better prepared for going to war with its neighbours. Such being the case, even sham blockades would seem to be quite un called for, it being absurd to intercept a trade which does not exist, or at all events is not worth intercepting. That this is the fact is conclusively proved, in his own way, by Mr. Cobden. On the unimpeachable authority of M. Tengoborski, a " confidential Russian employe," he calculates that the value of the exports, which a real blockade would arrest, is, after all deductions, three mil ' lions and a quarter, for sixty millions of mouths, with agricultural productions worth three hundred and forty millions sterling. The sooner, therefore, we lay up our ships and cease sham blockades the bettor. Of the very inconsiderable exports in which Russia in dulges, Prussia, very much to her credit, in Mr. Cob den's opinion, affords the principal outlet. Tax-payers in England regard this trade with rather an evil eye, but Mr. Cobden assures them it is "natural," and groans in spirit, as well as print, et the "sad idea" of stopping it. In his last pamphlet Mr. Cobden denounced the trade of Turkey for being carried on in foreign bottoms. Russia, he now tells us, does the same thing, with the greatest possible advantage. This, no doubt, is one reason why the British Government has waived the right of search, the sham blockade being thereby rendered symmetrical in all its parts. Mr. Cobden also tells us that Russia has fostered her trade through Georgia and Persia, at the expense of her mari time commerce. This was in contemplation, probably, of two eventualities—war with England, and the prose cution of her designs on India. The British Govern ment again, we may presume, has obligingly taken the hint, and carried out the sham blockade in the Baltic, by leaving Georgia alone, allowing Kars to fall, and helping Russia to "foster " her Asiatic trade, and her Asiatic conquests also. Russia, then, enjoying the inestimable privilege of no export trade worth talking of, likewise enjoys an in ternal trade of incalculable ♦alue—incalculable not in figures altogether—but in bullocks, carts, and poneys. These means of transport, vastly superior to railways and luggage-trains, are developed by fairs, which have, unfortunately, fallen into disuse in England. The me❑ are " always merry, " the cattle never tired, and the "wheeled conveyances," it may reasonably be supposed, se'dom or never wear out. Mr. Cobden's delight at ob serving these phenomena at the fair of Nishni Novogo rod exhausts his powers of description ; and the " unique spectacle', was as ab-olutely overwhelming as the Greek crosses and churches of Moscow, which so natu rally reminded him of Bagdad. This surplu•a;e of the means of transport in the in terior of Russia demonstrates both the iniquity and the absurdity of destroying stores of grain and forage on the coasts on the Sea of Azoff. Why they were col lected is left by Mr. Cobden in a certain state of ob scurity, but he is confident that " the Russian armies do not subsist upon food grown near the sea coast or the mouths of their great rivers !" This may seem rather singular fastidiousness on the part of the " Russian willies," but since Mr. Coblen states the fact there can not be a question that it is so. The troops in the Crimea are therefore supplied by the grain brought by "the great movement of the land carriage" from the interior to Odessa. The bombardment of that would therefore annihilate a depot of provisions of our enemy. Such a bombardment, however, is characterised by Mr. Cobden as "infamy" —so, provisions on the coast are not to be de ati oyed, because " the Russian army" does not eat them, and provisions in Odessa are not to be destroyed because "the Russian army" does. Seeing, then, that Russia has no export trade worth eve❑ sham blockades—that her internal trade is self-supported by a perfect system of bullock waggons—and that her warriors refuse to feed on anything grown near her sea coast or the mouths of her great rivers, it is manifestly impossible to injure her, by hostile attempts upon her commerce ! From the exports of Raisin Mr. Cobden proceeds to the " Patriotism and Love of Coantry," which are uni versal there. Mr. Cobden's own patriotism and love of country peculiarly entitle him to judge. The Rus sian, then, has, in an eminent degree, the organ of "in habitiveness ;" "he is passionately wedded to his vil lage home," and as all Russia is but " one great ♦illage" he never wishes to leave it. To be sure, considering that Russians are serfs, adscripti glebes., and penned like hogs on the properties of their masters, the gratification of migratory tastes would not be quite free from difficulty. However, it is " inhabitiveness," and not the knout, which keeps the Moojiks in statu quo—a fact which Mr. Cobden learnt from " an intelligent native," who assured him that " if some new El Dorado were discovered" they would never budge for it. Arcadia, indeed, in point of innocence, is nothing compared to Russia. The shepherds and shepherdesses dance and sing and pipe Sclavonic eclogues. " They are naturally the least warlike people in the world. All their tastes and propensities are of the most opposite character. Even in their amusements there is an absence of rudeness and ♦iolence, and they take no pleasure in the brutal sports to be found elsewhere. They delight in music, dancing, and flowers." " Quar rels or collisions amongst them never happen"—" the genius of the people abhors the shedding of blood"—the very " droshkey drivers are more terrified at the idea of running over others than others are at the dangtr of being run over by the droshkey drivers !" What a delightfuldornestic picture the Cossack daguer reotyped by Mr. Cobden presents to our fascinated gaze! Nor is the catalogue of his simple virtues by any means complete. His piety equals his innocence, for " in no other part of the wt , rld," is so " religious" a creature extant. Moat folks, indeed, call him fanatical and superstitious, but Mr. Cobden does not understand the difference between superstition and religion, and with praiseworthy humility refers the question to the decision of—Pascal ! To whatever conclusion Pascal may come, Mr. Cob den is certain of one thirg—that " the Greek Church has Shown less intolerance than other dominant sects," The proof is plain and convincing, "No proselytising is allowed. Each man's creed is stereotyped from his birth. If there he any relaxat'on in this rule, it is in favour of the Establishment, which sometimes converts to the privileged fold, and, on the other hand, deals most severely with deserters from its own pale." This absence of intolerance, so justly prized and praised by Mr. Cobden, was charmingly illustrated, a short time ago, in the case of the Nuns of Minsk. This "inhabitiveness," peacefulness, and pure religious feeling of the calumniated Cossack must, show bow If groundless are the fears of Europe at the idea of his in vading it. He may have a penchant for appropriating Turkey ; but Turks are " Mahometans,"—and it can hardly be pretended that Mahometans have rights, like Christians. " Territory won from the infidel has a precious ♦alue in the eyes of the orthodox," of course ; and, besides, the Turk is "'slothful and barbarous," and, therefore, ought to be plundered. Giles Hodges gets up at five in the morning, whilst Lord Dunnup lies a-bed till ten. Giles, consequently, thinks, with Mr. Cobden, that he should visit his lordship's larder, pocket his plate, bag his pheasants, and make free with his sheep. But although Russans have an amiable and excusable desire for possessing themselves of Turkey, that desire need excite no sort of apprehension on the part of Eng• land or France. Mr. Cobden can put them at ease. " There is no greater delusion in the world than that which attributes to the Russian people a desire to over run and occupy, in the spirit of the ancient Goths and Huns, any part of Western Europe." Nothing can be more satisfactory. Setting aside Ma hometan territory, which, of course, goes for nothing, Russia ha■ seized in Europe alone, since the battle of Pultara, Finland, Ingria, Esthonia, Livonia, Courland, Lithuania, the better part of the remainder of Poland, and Bessarabia. It is pleasant to find that this was not done in the spirit of the Goths or Huns, and it proves how "inhibitive" the Russian is, how pacific, and bow disinclined to rob any but Mahometans. But these very virtues, Mr. Cobden remarks, are turned against us at present. As the Russian never in vades other countries, always excepting Mahomstan, he is naturally indignant when Invaded. The lamb, for be never was a bear, becomes at once a lion. His " patriot ism and love of country," and ,his religious feeling, ren der him invincible. The Czar and his lieutenants ad dress to him appeals which some, Mr. Cobden fancies, may consider hypocritical and blasphemous. On this point he may make up his mind, but will be guided by Pascal. However Pascal may decide the point, and whether the Russians are gulled or not by hypocrisy and blasphemy, " the intervention of their Government in the affairs of Europe does not excite their sympathy," and Europe, therefore, is both criminal and mad to snake war on so pacific, so simple, so religious, and so " inhabitive" a people.

" REGULATIONS RESPECTING; TIER VICTUALLING AND ACCOUNTS OP GUN-BOATS AND MORTAR-VESSELS. "The exigencies of the public service requiring many gun-boats and mortar-vessels to be commissioned, in which regular accountant officers will not be borne, my Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty, with the view of simplifying as much as possible the accounts for these vessels, have been pleased to establish the following general regulations " 1. The gun-boats and mortar-vessels will be formed into divisions, having a paymaster, with suitable clerical assistance, for each division ; through whom all accounts and returns relating to these vessels will be transmitted into office. " 2. The names of the gun-boats, and numbers of the mortar-vessels forming each division, will be duly pro mulgated, with the name of the divisional ship to which they will be attached ; on the books of which the pay master of each division and his assistants will be borne. "3. A competent person is to be selected from the crew of each gun-boat and mortar-vessel to act as stew ard, whose duty it will be to receive, take care of, and issue provisions and other articles, aid keep such daily yr other record thereof as the paymaster of the division may require. And such acting steward will be paid the usual victualling store allowance of 4d. per diem, in ad dition to his ordinary pay, upon the certificate of the offi cer in command that he has duly performed his duties. " 4. An expense book for the naval stores is to be kept by the lieutenant in command, which is to be sent monthly to the captain of the divisional ship, the master of which ship is to keep the accounts of the receipts and issues of these stores, including the whole for any num ber of gui-boats attached to the divisional ship in one account ; which is to be transmitted, accompanied by the proper vouchers, to the Admiralty, with the divi sional ■hip's accounts, for examination. " 5. A regular log and a muster-book are to be kept on board each ♦essel by the lieutenant in command, in which the usual particulars relating to the crew are to be duly noted, and at the end of each quarter a copy of such muster-book, signed by the lieutenant command ing, is to be sent to the paymaster, in order to enable him to complete the general muster-book of the division. "6. A general quarterly muster-book of the divisio❑ is to be made up by the paymaster, and rendered i❑ ac cordance with the instructions already in force ; but the crew of each vessel is to be kept in a distinct list, after the usual lists of the crew of the divisional ship, and a❑ abstract of the whole division made at the end of the hook. " 7. An account (in the accompanying form A) is to be kept on board each gun or mortar-boat by the acting steward, in which he is to enter the particulars of every supply of provisions, fuel, &c., received on board. He is, in like manner, to enter the particulars of any sup plies or returns during the same period, and also the number of persons victualled daily. A copy of this ac count is to be forwarded, as opportunities may offer, by the officer in command to the paymaster in charge of the division, to enable him to complete his accounts. " 8. Supplies of provisions, fuel, and victualling stores are to be obtained before sailing from her Majesty's establishments, and afterwards, when practicable, from the divisional ship ; but, when circumstances render it necessary, supplies may be obtained from any other of her Majesty's ships most convenient, with which a gun or mortar-boat may be in company, and in such cases the ordinary supply note and receipts are to be made oat by the paymaster making such supply in accordance with the instruction•, and the duplicate receipt is imme diately to be forwarded by him to the paymaster of the division to which the vessel belongs. Should it be neces sary at any time to obtain supplies from a contractor or transport, in the absence of the divisional paymaster, the receipts for such supplies are to be signed by the lieu tenant in command, who is to cause a copy of the sepply note to be made out and forwarded to the divisional pay• master by the first opportunity. "9. No stock of seamen's clothing, tobacco, or soap is to be kept on board, and when any are required by the crew, the officer in command is to cause a list to be prepared of the articles wanted, with the men's names, and the issue is to be made from the divisional ship, when practicable; but, if not, from the nearest ship, caus ing the value to be charged against each man's name in the muster book of the gun-boat er mortar-vessel ; and the paymaster of the ship making such supply is immediately to transmit a copy of the I;st of articles supplied to the paymaster of the division to which the vessel belongs. " 10. No cash books need be kept on board, nor, as a rule, any public money supplied to the officers in com mand, as the paymasters of divisions will, when practi cable, make all payments o❑ account of the vessels in their division ; but when circumstance, require it, to prevent inconvenience, the paymasters of any other ship may make payments on account of these vessels, as for monthly allowance, pilotage, &c., at the request and upon the authority of the lieutenants commanding ; and a copy of the lists for any such payments of monthly allowance money, or of the vouchers for other payments, is forthwith to be sent by the paymaster making the same to the paymaster of the division to which the ves sel belongs. This monthly allowance to be charged against the men's names on the books of the respective ♦es zels. Mr. Baron Martin, in his summing up, said he had an ticipated that it was possible some question as to the law upon the subject of riotous and tumultuous assemblages would have arisen in the course of this inquiry, and he was quite prepared to have given his opinion upon that point if it had occurred. It appeared, however, to be admitted by the counsel for the defendant, that, not withstanding the character of the assemblage of people which the police were called upon to disperse, the assault that had been committed upon the prosecutor was un justifiable in point of law, and that the only question was as to the identity of the defendant, and whether lie was one of the persons concerned in the act. The police were undoubtedly justified in endeavouring to disperse the persons who were assembled on this occasion, but the law did not authorise them to use any violence un less it was absolutely necessary, still less to make use of violence of such a character as was proved to have been made use of on this occasion, and he had no hesitation in telling them that every one of the policemen concerned in that violence was guilty of an offence against the law. The learned judge then read over the whole of the evi• dence, and concluded by stating that it was for the jury to say, whether upon the facts before them it was made out to their satisfaction that the defendant was guilty of the offence charged against him. The jury, after deliberating a short time, said they were not satisfied with the evidence as to the defendant having actually committed any particular assault upon the prosecutor, but they believed he was one of the con stables who was concerned in the attack upon him. Mr. Baron Martin said that this amounted to a verdict of guilty, and that verdict was recorded, and the defen dant was taken into custody. Wm. Gearing, another constable, was then charged with assaulting and falsely imprisoning John Jas. White. This case appeared to be a very different one indeed to the one just disposed of. The occurrence took piace on the same day in Hyde-park, at the period when the crowd was very violent, and hooting at the carriages. Stones were flying in all directions, and it appeared that the defendant, who was on duty, was struck by one which appeared to come in a direction where the prose cutor was standing ; and be, supposing it was thrown by him, laid hold of hiai with the intention of taking him into custody. It appeared that the mob interfered and attempted to rescue the prosecutor, and the policeman was knocked down and trampled upon, and be at length struck the prosecutor on the head with his staff. In cress-examination it appeared that the prosecutor was a pot-boy, in the City, and there appeared to be very little doubt that he bad gone to the Park on this day not ac tuated br ; the most quiet intention•, and he admitted having hooted at the police. It appeared that he was eventually taken into custody, and charged at Marlbo rough-street with having throwna stone at the constable, but the charge was dismissed. Mr. Parry was about to address the jury for the de fence, but they intimated their opinion that it was un necessary he should do so, and they at once returned a verdict of Not Guilty. Belelay, the third constable, was then charged upon an indictment, which contained two counts alleging that he had assaulted Wm. Lloyd and James Vassey. _ _ and Co Diss Bank, Diss—Oakes, Fincham, and C 0...

It is rumoured that the 9 , 3 th Regiment, upwards of 1,200 strong, stationed in the camp at the Curragh of Kildare, will be moved early in spring from that station to Cork barracks, to be in readiness for embarkation for the seat of war. The 9Gth have been supplied with the Enfield rifle. 7,635 14,272 5,565 THE WATER SUPPLY OF LONDON. It appeared from the mortality returns both of 1849 and of 1854 that a great excess in the deaths from cho lera occurred wherever bad water was supplied. Subse quently to the first period a Parliamentary committee sat ; and an act was passed on July 1, 1852, to enable, and to compel, if necessary, the water companies to sup ply London with " pure and wholesome water." It is gratifying to find that the London water comps• vies are now strenuously exerting themselves to carry out the Act of Parliament. The Southwark, the West Middlesex, and the Grand Junction, in September, 1853, derived their water from the Thames where it was more or less polluted. Now they supply the West an 1 South districts as well as Marylebone with Thames water of a purer quality, drawn from parts beyond the range of the tide and the reach of the sewers. The East London Company has ascended the Lea, and instead of drawing its water from the river at Lea-bridge takes it from near Cbingford, Essex. The improved works of the New River are "nearly completed." The districts of Chelsea, Westminster, and Belgravia, still derive water from the impure source that has been abandoned by the other companies, and is ere long to be abandoned by the Chelsea Company. It will be gratifying to the people of London to learn that they aro now largely supplied with a comparatively " pure and wholesome water ;" admitting still further, without doubt, •f improvement, but incomparably better than the water of 1849 or 1853. The water companies deserve credit for what they have achieved. They have invested a large amount of capital, it is stated, already in these improvements ; but the security of the whole mass of their property, now held by a monopoly, is thereby infinitely increased, and they may expect the same kind •f advantages as a land lird who has invested large sums in draining and im proving his estates.

New colours were presented to the Prince of Wales Royal Regiment of Renfrew Militia, in the barrack square, Paisley, on Friday forenoon, by Lady Napier. iler ladyship addressed the regiment as follows : " Officers, non-commissioned officers, and solders of the Royal Renfrew fiad the honour has been deputed to ens by the Countess of Glasgow of presenting to you these colours, the gift of the Earl of Glasgo Lord-Lieutenant of the c mnty. It is with the greatest pleasure I same forward to do so, knowing that during the short t.s.ie that you have been embodied you have already acquired a reputation for discipline and good conduct which is highly creditable to the regiment as well as to the county to which you belong. You Lave, further, shown your desire to serve your Queen and country by volunteering for foreign service, and thenuin hers who continually step forth from your ranks, officers and men, to join those of the regiments of the line, and share with them the perils and glories of the war, are sufficient evidence, if any were needed, of tne good and loyal spirit which animates your corps. You have begun your career well. You have my best wishes, and I am sure I may add those of all present, for root continued prosperity and success. Into your hands I now consign these colours, with the conviction that the honour of these glorious standards can never be in safer keeping than in that of the Prince of Wales Royal Regi ment of Renfrewshire Militia." The principal residents of the county were present among the great concourse of spectators. The Colonel, Sir Robert Napier, in returning thanks, particularly ex pressed the great obligation the regiment felt itself uncle.: to the Lord-Lieutenant, the Earl of Glasgow, for b's great interest and many acts of kindness. A bail was given by the officers in the evening to the inhabitants f the county and neighbourhood. This was the first Scotch regiment that volunteered for foreign service, and it bas given 220 men to the line since February last, and now stands within a very few of its complement. Mr. Ballantme, Mr. Parry, and Mr. Metcalfe were couneel for the defendant. 71,526 In this cage, when a portion of the evidence had been given, the trial was adjourned. 17,809 NEW COURT. (Before the Recorder.) Hendrick Pieter Bernedalt Mocns, 24, clerk, was in dicted for wilful and corrupt perjury, committed by him before the Chief Justice of the Common Pleas. Mr. Ballantine and Mr. Poland prosecuted ; and Mr. Edwin James, Q.C., and Mr. Giffard defended the pri soner. It appeared from the evidence, which was of a very complicated nature, that the prosecutors are Messrs. Martin, Bromer, Sack, and Co., of London-street, ship. brokers and agents. The prisoner, a fashionable-looking young man, was at the period o f thi s t ransac ti on i n b us i• nees in Holland, as an agent for shippin g goods from Harlingen, having succe e d e d hi s father. A short time previously to May, 1853, the prosecutors had a corres pondence with the prisoner, who traded as the firm of Moens, Bernet, Lindeman, and Co., and in that month Moens called upon Messrs. Bremer relative to the purchase of the Queen, a vessel which they owned. Moens was accompanied by a person named Lindeman, and an agreement was entered into to pur chase the Queen for 10,0001. The prisoner Moens and Lindeman paid down a part of the purchase-money, hnt being unable to complete it, the prosecutors allowed that money to remain to the account of the firm of which Moons stated he and Lindeman were partnere, and they entered into an engagement to let them the Queen at 150/. a week to run between Harlingen and London for the conveyance of cattle. The first term of hire was for 12 weeks, and a second agreement of a similar character was made, and whilst these transactions were going on prosecutors advised the prisoner that the Herne, a vessel formerly used for passenger traffic to Herne Bay, was for sale, and that it would better suit the trade they were engaged in, and might be bought for 4,000/. Upon the receipt of this a correspondent took place relative to the purchase, and according to the statement of the pro secutor the prisoner and Lindeman went and saw the vessel. Prisoner said Lindeman was his partner, and gave prosecutor to understand that Lindeman was the managing partner. The Herne was finally purchased for the firm to which the prisoner belonged, by the pro secutors, for 3,600/., and sent over to Harlingen, and was used by the firm to trade with Oporto, where she was lost. The final arrangement about the purchase took place upon the 22d of Feb., 1854, and Moans was then present, and took part in calculating the tonnage of the Herne. Lindernan was registered as proprietor of the vessel, it being stated that by so doing expense would be saved if the vessel required alteration in the ports of Holland. The accounts, which were of a very intricate character, then ran on between the parties, and upon the 29th of May, 1854, Mr. Bremer sent the current ac count anal the accounts of freight in one letter, and again wrote in November about the accounts. Some time after this prisoner came to this country and called upon prosecutor about a settlement between them, aid he then denied that he was a party to the purchase of the Herne. Previously to prisoner coming to prosecutor's ho had written over asking for his account, denying the receipt of the one transmitted in May. In April of the present year, prisoner being again in London, prose cutor had him arrested at his suite for the debt then due, nearly 30011,, and prisoner commenced a cross-ac tion against prosecutor for nearly the same amount. These actions came on for trial at the Common Pleas, Guildhall, when prisoner's action came on first for trial. He was examined, and out of that examination the pre sent charge arose. He then Swore that he had never stated Lindeman was his partner—that he was not in London when the arrangement for the purchase of the Herne took Place —that he never received the account in May--that the amount of 1501. for the hire of the Queen was not a regular agreement, but merely a nominal sum agreed upon by prosecutor, a blank being left at the time that deed was drawn up, which had been filled in without his knowledge or sanction, and also that he had sent a letter from Harlingen upon the subject of the Herne, directing that it was not to be bought. This letter was dated at the time the prosecutor al leged prisoner was in London, in February, 1854. The prisoner said he had sent the letter by ship, and pro duced his manifold letter book, in which appeared the duplicate copy in such a place in the book as to appear it had been written at the time he alleged.

It appears that she sprung a leak in the Archi pelago, caused by some defect in the screw machinery, arid that the water rushed in at the rate of half a ton a minute at the stern, so that, to save the vessel was deemed exp e di en t t o put i nto Port San Nicholas,' in the Island o f Z ea , w h ere s h e was run aground to pr event her sinkin g .

At the present moment between 1;;0 and 140 persons are provided with home and maintenance—married coeplea receiving 8., 01., and aingle persons is. per week. The arrangements for the ball were conducted by Mr. Edwards, the chair man, and the other members of the committee. Al though there were over 700 persons present on the oc casion, not the slightest pressure or inconvenience was experienced during the evening. The large room of the London Tavern was not, cf course, capable of accom modating such a number, but the overflow of the com pany was at once provided for by the auxiliary resources of that capacious establishment. The dancing arrange ments ware superintended by Mr. Frampton, who exerted himself to the utmost in his important depart. ment to keep every one in good humour. Dancing was 3.ntinued to a late hour, and the company retired highly gratified with the evening'e entertainment. 10,585 85,361 11,018 10,275 COILKON THINGS. --It is a common thing for the con ductor of a Brompton omnibu s t.o propose to put you down within "a heasy vaieof Brixton.

Thus much, however, is certain, that the Wolga had been lying here for more than a month under very suvicious circumstances, for the captain had always some different excuse for remaining at anchor. One day he was waiting far orders, on another the wind was foul. At one time he was short of water, at another flesh provisions, and latterly that he was afraid of the ice. A few days ago, however. he weighed anchor during the thaw, and sailed up the Baltic, and a vessel arrived here from Bornhnlm reports having exchanged sign a l s with her off that island. It is generally stated here as a well-known fact that she has arms and ammunition on hoard, which, being contraband of war, would have ben liable to confiscation, althoug% the blockade of the Russian ports had been abandoned for the winter-- Letter from Copenhagen (Jan. 2).

I Strand, In the P rec in c t of. i.ttielleecy c in Alm, oeuptysif ,ti Middleunt, Friday, January 11 ,1846, NOVEL TURNPIKE CASE. About a month since a waggon was found to be one ton overweight, at one of the toll gates on the Bath road, the extra toll for which amounted to 3/. 15s. Gd. Previous to payment the driver demanded a stamped re ceipt. The toll collector declined to give one, stating that the ticket was receipt enough, and all that he was required to give. The driver refused to pay the money without the stamped receipt, and waited two hours at the gate, as the toll-keeper refused to allow him to pass until the toll was paid for the overweight. The driver insisted that the new Stamp Act rendered the stamp necessary. At last the toil collector, not wishing to injure the horsep, or delay the man further, put a stamp on the ticket, under protest, which satisfied the driver, who paid the money and proceeded on his journey. A few days afterwards a demand in writing was made upon the toll collector for 1/, for the detention of the hcfrses. The demand was forwarded to Mr. M'Adam, the Surveyor- General, who answered it by stating "that a payment of toll for overweight was not such a payment as was contemplated by the Stamp Act." This opinion was confirmed by P. George, Esq., the solicitor to the trus tees; but on the parties aggrieved writing a second tune, and still expressing their conviction that the stamp was necessary, a letter was written to Mr. Oke (the gentleman who has published the excellent compilation of all acts affecting turnpike roads), and the following opinion was procured by him from the Inland Revenue Office : " Inland Revenue, Somerset House, London, Jan. 1, 1856. " Sir, —I have laid before ths Board of Inland Re venue your letters of the 20th and 27th ult., and in reply to your inquiry whether a ticket denoting pay ment of a turnpike toll (a form of which was enclosed by you) is liable to stamp duty when amounting to 40s. or upwards, I am directed to state that the Board is dis posed to think that the tickets in question are not, re ceipts within the contemplation of the Stamp Act. "I am, Sir, your obedient servant, " George Oke, Esq." "THOS. KEOGII. Notwithstanding the above opinion of the Board, doubt still ex i s t e d as to the legality of the toll collector ' s refusing to sign a common receipt, with a stamp on it, in addition to the ticket directed to be given by the Gene ral Turnpike Act. Mr. Oke was again applied to, and ho has kindly forwarded the following opinion on this point : "London, Jan. 7. "My dear Sir,—l am of opinion that the natural con clusion, from the Board's opinion, that a toll ticket, in the usual form, is not liable to stamp duty, is, that a person paying toll is not entitled to any other receipt than such toll ticket, that being the special discharge authorised by the Turnpike Act. I cannot see any doubt on the point. (Signed) " GEO. ORB." ME COMMERCIAL FLEETS OF LIVERPOOL.—Liver pool, Jan. 10.—At the weekly meeting of the Liverpool Dock Committee this afternoon, several annual returns were read, the most interesting being the following : During the year 1855 there have passed in and out the port through the Rock Channel, 13,351 vessels, against 14,513 in the year 1854, being a decrease of 1,1e2 ves sels. Through the Victoria and other north channels the number inwards was 19,756, outwards 20,601 ; making a total of 40,356, against 37,143 in the pre vious year. It was also stated that, during the year, the Liverpool life-boats had assisted 10 vessels in dis tress, and saved 21 lives. A lengthy discussion took place, before the members separated, on the propriety of having regular telegraphic communications from Holyhead, and Mr. Moindel intimated that at the next meeting on Thursday he should make a distinct motion j on the enbject. 8,751 , I Mr. Mr. artlf.
