I had been discussed, and settled at a previous meeting, Mr. H. L. TAYLOR moved the a'j airnment of the hoard, when there appeared for the adjournment, 15 ; against it, 17. Mr. FEW then moved an amendment in favour of au outfall being made at a point on the Surrey side, west ward of Erith. Mr. COLLINSON seconded the amendment. Mr. H. L. Ta.vr.on, in >-upp )rting it, strongly depre cated the delty that would be occasioned by referring the sewage question again to the engineer, who had some time ag >distinctly stated what was the plan which he Considered to he the best. He apprehended that the dilatorine-s of the board on the sewage question would prove.fatal to the existence of the board. He imputed the opposition to the engineer's reports to that gentle man's esletermincd enemies in the board. On a division Mr. Few's amendment was lost by 9 to is. It was resolved, by 6 to 16, " that the whole of the se wage ourstion hould be referred back to the engineer." Mr. Nrcrrotar presented a memorial from Mr. J. R.

RUSSIA. ^oln.the Special Correspondeat of the illoPning Post.) . r - e have received the followiug letters from our Special Correspondent, who, it will be seen from from their dates, has arrived at St. Petersburg, on his way to Moscow ST. PETERSBURG, AUGUST 4. This morning the thunders of artillery awoke all Petersburg, and the sea-coast town within many miles, to witness a grand review of the Russian mortar-boats off Cronstadt. Yesterday evening, as our steamer approached Crosstadt, we had seen the Russian fleet some 15 or 20 miles east of that fortress. There were 12 (I think) line-of-battle ship: s, and about 18 or 20 f r ig a t es . Wh en we caaie to the guardship we had to moor there for the:night, as our vessel, the Gothenburg, a fine screw-steamer, drew too much water (11 feet) to pass the bar till she had discharged part of her freight, and we could not obtain a small boat till daylight. At first we were disappointed at thiS delay, but next morning we had every reason to congratulate ourselves that a readier despatch had not, deprived us of a very animated and striking spectacle. We were immediately boarded by a semi -civilian, and very civil officer, who talked any language that happened to come upp3rmost ; a naval or military, or both naval and military offi cer, whose business was not to talk at all, but in silent obesity to repr e se n t th e mar ti a l power ; and lastly, a scrivener, with a leather bag containing a seal as large as the dial of a timepiece. Th e cap tain of our boat produced the requisite' documents, and some champagne and capital cigars. To my surprise—for I know that such articles are appre ciated in. Russia—the principal officer of the three who visited us almost immediately lost his gay appearance. He declined the champagne (a second glass, that is) ; he threw down his cigar ; he leant his forehead on his hand, one of his companions, the representative of the Cronstadt military autho rity, laughed, urged him in Russ to take off his °lass 9 and asked him what wa s th e ma tt er . " Thi s , stupid vessel," replied he, in the same language, " ought to have let two anchors down ; she rolls so that I am quite sick already." He thought this was not understood. Yet for three months this gentle man had never once been on laud. tie lived entirely in the guardship. It is well that the Russian navy can now take exercise. Had the blockade lasted much longer, a short row in an open boat, and 20 minutes on board of a steamer riding at single anchor, would have sufficed to make the greatest veteran in the Russian navy sea-sick. The whole of Cronstadt was alert at daybreak on the 4th, and we passed through the whole line of steam mortar-boats. There were 75 in number, ex tended along a diagonal front of 15 versts (or 10 miles English) within Cronstadt, and from that place to the shore of Peterhoff. Every one of these boats was furnished with the screw propeller. More than two-thirds of them carried three mortars each—one in the stern, one amid-ships, and one in the bows— the rest carried only two pieces. They were very large. The crew of each boat numbered from 49 to 50. The boats were hastily got up ; they are very light in motion, and of very s hall ow d raug ht. They offer scarcely any mark, and are considerably lower in the water than the French boats or ours of similar construction. The reason of this is, that ours were built for offence, and intended to be able to cross the German Ocean or any sea. These Russian boats would not live in alleavy sea, nor could they safely venture far from shelter ; but in these land-locked waters, to seize their time, to creep abnit, or to aid in the defence of au assailed port, they are perfectly sefficient in quality, although not in number. Tue Emperor appeared on the -water at 11, and after the boats had ma noeuvred he steamed back toPeterhoff. This was the great naval review not only of the Russian Baltic fleet which has lived through the war, but of the new fleet•of Russian mortar-boats which may be said to have been born of it, and which, having silently and rapidly come into exist ence, made their first grand, open, and avowed appearance on the morning in question. It was a remarkably lucky day for a sight-seer to arrive. To this review Sir Charles Napier, inasmuch as he was on a visit to Russia and in the neighbour hood, received a special invitation from the High Admiral of the empire, the Grand Duke Constan tine. Before mentioning more particularly the im posing demonstration, through the midst of which our steamer happened to have its way to take, I may mention that the kind of attention which the Russian Court and authorities showed to Sir C. Napier (whose visit, in the first instance, took them completely by surprise) was, while perfectly courteous, acidulated with a fine and delicate fla vour of irony, which seems to have been quite lost upon the perceptive power of the gallant admiral. Your readers can judge for themselves ; and I will mention one or two incidents of Sir Charles's visits and sojourn, because they are characteristic of other persons as well as that of the well known offi cer, and because the whole style in which he brought himself into contact with Russia on this occasion is curious. The very first direct intimation conveyed to him, after his presence iu St. Paters burg had been notified to the higher powers, was couched in phrases which would have made many a man wince. He was told that orders had been given at Cronstadt and elsewhere to receive him, should he desire to look through these places; and he was politely assured that he would not now experience any difficulty in entering the various fortresses. At the same time, the Grand Duke Constantine ordered a steamer to be stationed in the river, just under the windows of Sir Charles's rooms, on the English quay, and a Russian officer informel the visitor that this vessel was for his special behoof and accommodation • but first he was begged to repair at once to ;he Grand Mike's residence, " the Marble Palace." Sir Charles forthwith donned his Russian cross of St. George (received .long ago for the St. Jean d'Acre hit), and waited on the Grand Duke. The manner in which the gallant admiral had notified his presence, in the first in stance outside Cronstadt, was droll. The steamer, according to custom, had dropped her anchor about a mile or two beyond that fortress, abeam of the Russian guardship. On board this last it happened to be dinner hour ; and, therefore, no attention was for some time paid to the English vessel, which was obliged to tarry thus until she had been visited and her papers had been inspected by the proper officers from the guard-ship. Sir Charles became dreadfully impatient after having examined all he could see from that position of the Russian. fleet. He had steamed through a large division of it some 10 or 15 miles further seaward, where about a score line-of-battle ships and frigates had gone out, and where they have been every day for some weeks, exercising and manoeuvring in the Gulf of Finland. The sight produced a high state of mettle and excitement in the gallant admiral, who exclaimed, " Ah, if those chaps had only come out that far when I was in command, perhaps they wouldn't ha'e caught it I" Finding that the guard-ship continued absorbed in dinner, Sir Charles called up the chief officer, gave him his card, and told him to board the Rus sian vessel with that in his hand. The result an swered his wishes. A boat came alongside imme diately, and the aerial telegraph of the guard-ship began to fling about its arms in a style which quickly set those of the Cronstadt semaphore in motion. Thus the gallant admiral literally sent up his card to Russia, and found her at home. When the officers came aboard they were attacked forthwith by Sir Charles by a thick discharge of questions—a fire which they promptly returned by the most astounding declarations. Sir Charles pointed towards Oranienbaum, the beautiful groves of which came down to the water's edge, close on the right hand—" Have you any gulls there?" " Yes—some 14 batteries.' " And there? point ing to Peterhoff. "Oh yes, about a hundred guns there." These batteries are wonderfully well concealed, for at least at Peterhoff I defy any visitor to detect them. Sir Charles, however, seemed to believe the answers he thus obtained. At the quay in St. Petersburg a crowd of people' were collected to see the admiral disembark. When be went to Peter hoff he proceeded in his off-hand way straight to the Emperor's palace, and demanded of a servant in the grounds whether his Majes t y was there ? The man could not speak any language th a t Si r Charles spoke (or rather vice versa), but an English gentleman translated the question, and then tran slated the answer, which was that Alexander 11. was not there, but at his farm, a little distance off. No appearance of mystery or reticence was observed towards Sir Charles in any of the w ar lik e es ta. blish men ts. ST. PETERSBURG, AUG. 6. Many persons in England will be interested and edified, not to say suprised, on learning the nature of those rural employments or recreations which, in Alexander IL's case, aro beguiling the retire ment so usual with the Czars at this season. Just )ehind the green woods of Peterhoff, and visible from a deck in Cronstadt Roads, rise beyond the golden towers of the summer palace the hills where the late 113peror liioholas used to delight to ex ercise numerous hosts in mimic warfare; there, *tend, at Krasnoe Seloe, or the Red Village, the great summer camps, where the Guards, the army of the north, detachments from. " the army of Finland," and detachments from all the other corps stationed throughout the empire, were wont to be marhalled, reviewed, marched, counter-Marched, and rnauceuvrcd. Doubtless such exercises will net be much intermitted, far less will they be altogether abandoned. But in a despotic State.the heart, the devotion which the Sovereign throws into his several occupations is everything ; and Alexan der, while passing the interval before his departure for Moscow to receive the crown of his immense realm, amidst such solemnities as never before sig nalised a Russian monarch's coronation, is busy with all his soul—doing what ? Why, attending to, and perfecting, a model farm which he has got, and with which lie means to beat Mr. Mechi, giving him nine degrees of latitude as odds in climate, and about the same number of years, I suppose, as a start, in the race of time. It is amidst such scenes 'and such cares that the little Czarevitch and the Emperor's three other children are opening their eyes upon the new politics of Europe, the close of a terrible war in their country's history, arid the inauguration of an era unprecedented for the direction and the activity of its industrial hopes. Had an ambassador from France or England dis embarked just at this season six years ago, and learned, as he placed his foot on the broad granite pavement of the c!oan, open, shiny, custom-house quay, opposite the Angliskaia Nebrashnaya, that the Emperor was not in St. Petersburg, he would have anticipated the . reply to,.the_next query, which, indeed, would have .been put In a leading form Somewhat thus : "Ah ! I presume he is at Krasnoe-Seloe camp ?" It would never have oc curred to him to say "the Peterhoff model farm." Before going to Moscow I hope to have a look at this agricultural experiment, and to give you some details about it. Tue Coronation will not take place till the end of August, old style (which will carry us into the se cond week of September). The Emperor is not yet gone to Moscow, though every day the railway groans wi th tons ofcuriosi ty in the shape ofpassengers hurrying to lodge themselves cheaply, and, there fore, early; and tons of splendour in the shape of furniture, housings, Wood horses, plate, arc. His Majesty is at Pe' erhoff in the summer palace. Lord Wodehouse is in his pretty country house along the same coast. Lord Granville has not arrived, but was supposed yesterday to be off Cronstadt. Splen did preparations are made for his brief sojourn here at Demonth's Hotel, near the Politzeusky, or Police Bridge, off the Nevsky. M. de Morny is still also waited for. Their horses have come (two of M. de Moray's, which died at sea, excepted), and have unspeakably affected Russian enthu siasm. I don't t link the Ambassadors will be better appreciated. Sir Ch tries Napier was at the review with the Grand Duke Constantine and the Emperor. I cannot better occupy your space, or my own time, at this moment than in saying a few words about tie nature of the Northern trip to Russia, and the general comparative excellence of the va rious m; .des in which it is accomplished. There is every reason to believe that it will become widely popular and commonly used ; and that the charac ter of the 'wea.ther during the time of year when the Journey can be made with the most pleasure will compensate passengers for the proportionably brief season in which they can still command an abun dant choice of lines, converging ultimately in a common destination. The summer of the north is short ; but it is so beautiful and resplendent, that only those who have sojourned amidst its too fleet ing glories can ever picture to themselves anything approaching the reality. Association has done as much as nature to invest the classic regions of Europe with the charms which, for nearly twenty centuries, have drawn to the shores of the Medi terranean, in occasional visits, all who had the leisure and the means. But if history has dwelt chiefly in the south, it issued at least from the north. To leave, however, all old world reflections, it is enough that recent events have made a new and permanent addition to the interest of the Scandinavian coasts and waters; as well as to that of the great empire of which they form on one side the lodge-gates and avenues ; that another and a still greaser interest, the commercial, has not only sprung into redoubled activity, in order to recover the, losses of an interruption, but has now found here many new forms of development ; and that all this has occurred at a moment when the means of t ransit, transport, and business are ' so marvellously increased that, even in the ab sence of the vast reciprocal capabilities which pro duce traffic between one land and another, they would induce the communication and allure the intercourse which they render easy and assured. So great, indeed, just at this instant, is the rush towards Northern Russia (which is reached, of course, with less expense than the opposite quar ter, now made so fatnilar to millions by an expedi tion collected, in its civil and military composition, from all the homes of France and England)—so great is this rush that, for a while, certain com panies and capitalists among our all-undertaking world of business contemplated establishing ex cursions to Russia. But even this age is unripe for that as a payine. speculation. Were it other wise, it were indeed ' an excursion worth making. The change is inconceivable, and therefore the mental shock or stimulus is complete. No very great enlargement of the ideas—no very effective rousing of the "dazed" and jaded faculties of the individual, whom a stationary life and a monoto nous experience may have mesmerised into a species of mechanical sleep-awake state—can be obtained by journeying su idanly from the capital of a coun try to one of own towns a few hours distant, presenting the same aspect in miniature, resound ing with the same speech, arranged, governed, dressed, educated in the same manner ; nothing different except size, while language, habits,customs, looks, principles, in the smaller place are all pre cisely such as were left behind at the bigger. A change of air, no doubt, is procured ; but the mind, as well as the body, requires to change its atmo sphere now and then. Unluckily, the expense of a summer trip to Mos cow must remain considerable ; and the only question in such a case is not what everybody would like, or what would do anybody good—but what is the state of one's purse. It is a very trifling mino rity who need not trouble themselves with that con sideration ; and knowing this, the traveller to Moscow from England or France, during the last week or two, cannot fail to have been struck with the prodigious number, increasing as he advanced, who were hurrying to the same destination. The approaching Coronation in the ancient capital of Russia is the one great topic of conversation in the steam-boat, on the railway, in the inn, along the entire road or line from the German Ocean to the frontiers of Poland. It is not only to be the most splendid Coronation that ever occurred in Russia, but the most splendid public ceremonial of any kind ever held among a people singularly fond of spec tacles, and by a Government which unites in its festivals the barbaric pomp of Asia, and the skilful taste of Europe, with Vie forms of the most gorgeous church that has ever existed on earth, and the sub sidiary aids of military displays nowhere else exhi bited on so large a scale, or with such diversity of costumes, uniforms, and equipments. All these imposing elements are to be collected in a city itself the most interesting in the empire, and the link between the two oldest and greatest of conti nents ; where Asia, blazing in her jewels and her gold, yet only just this side of the pathless forest and of the sea-like steppe, emerges from them to gaze upon Europe. No pains, no expense, no circumstance of martial state, no engine of religious excitement, is to be spared by the Rus sian Government. But this is not all ! The embassies of foreign countries—and, above all, those of England and France—nay, the very mul titude of opulent private persons flocking in great state to the scene will serve to render Alexander the Second's Coronation a subject of talk hereafter among the Russian population, when old people will relate that they witnessed it, "in the holy mother-city of Russia," during the days of their childhood. Nor will the external magnificence and strangeness, which are undoubtedly destined to characterise this grand solemnity, exhaust the whole interest of it. It is to be the great "make up," not only after the late war, but after the rais takes and cross-purposes of the last half century;' and over this "cloth of gold " Russia is to step into the European circle, and take her place once and for all as a valued, a pacific, a sinc.Te member of the general community. Finally, this Corot,a . tiou is not like the Great Exhibition, which would remain long, and might be visited at any time. On the contrary, it will be soon over, and the like may never b seen again.

(From the Report of tie Registrar-Oeneral.) The high range of tempera ure which has prevailed during the last fortnight has had a somewhat unfavour able effect on the public health. The number of deaths registered in London in the week ending Saturday, August 9, was 1,232, which exceeds that of the week immediately preceding by 207, though it falls short by 96 deaths of the corresponding average of the last ten years. Summer cholera, infantile cholera, and choleraic diar rhcea proved fatal to 28 persons ; of this number 21 were children under the age of 10 years. Diarrhoea pre vailed to some extent, and the deaths from this disease, which were 125 in the previous week, advanced to 211. of this number 187 were infants under 2 years of age ; 10 were 2 years old, and under 15 years; and 14 were 20 years of age and upwards. In the zymotic class of diseases the ether deaths were 7, ascribed to small-pox, 34 to measles, 35 to scarlati na , 36 to hooping-cough, and 54 to typhus. The aggregate number of deaths in this class was 405 ; namely, 206 on the north side of the Thames, and 109 in the districts on the south side of the river. Of the 1,232 deaths, 611 were those of males and 621 of females. The deaths of children under the age of oue year amounted to 417, or about 34 per cent, of the total mortality. 54 persons (an unusual number) of 80 years of age and upwards died during the week ; of this num ber 4 females attained the advanced aces of 90, 91, 93, and 94 years, and a carp en t er w h o di e d at Mile-end New Town, had reached his 96th birthday. Last week the births of 782 boys and 'BO3 girls, in all 1,585 children, were re g i s t ere d i n L on d on . In the ten corresponding weeks of the years 1846-55 the average number was 1,423. At the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, the mean height of the barometer in the week was 29.860 in. ; during the first five days the sky was generally cloudless, and the thermometer in the Bun ranged from 105 deg. to 111 deg. Slight s h owers f e ll on Friday evening, and on Saturday rain fell heavily during the morning. Elec tricity was positive with strong and moderate tension. The air for the greater part of the week was calm and dry, with a mean temperature of 66.1 deg., which was 1.5 deg. below the week preceding, but 4.1 (leg. above the average of weeks for the last 38 years, and if com pared with the corresponding week of last year, the pre• sent summer heat shows an excess of 5 deg. On Sunday, Aug. 3, the mean temperature was no less than 10.3 above the average.

METROPOLITAN BOARD OP WORKS. An adjourned meeting of the Metropolitan Board of Works was held yesterday in the Council Chamber, Guildhall ; Mr. J. Thwai+es in the chair. EXTENSION OF THE MAIN OUTFALL SEWER ON THE SOUTHERN SIDE OF THE RIVER THAMES TO A POINT IN LONG REACH, BELOW ERITH. The CHAIRMAN opened the discussion of this important question by suggesting that the board should request their engineer to reconsider the subject and report to the board what would be the cost of taking the sewage of London beyond Sea Reach, and by one line on the northern aide, because he (the chairman) believed that that plan would be at ence comprehensive and efficient, and worthy of the board. This question was surrounded by many difficulties. The towns on the banks of the Thames rose up 'one after the other to protest against the sewage being discharged near them. To carry the sewage beyond Sea Reach would involve a large outlay, but ho felt satisfied that the ratepayers of the metropolis would not begrudge the sum necessary for carrying away the sewage in the most efficient and least objectionable mode. Mr. SAVAGE concurred in the chairman's suggestion, and, with the view of giving it effect, moved the follow. ing resolution :--" That the engineer should be required to provide further information as to the cost of coinbin ing the drainage of the northern and southern sides of the Thames, and extending the main outlet to a point on the Essex shore, near to Mucking Creek." Major LYON moved as an amendment that the report should he referred back to the engineer to report upon the point of ontfall, without naming any place. Mr. H. L. TAYLOR believed if the board had been content to select the Erith marshes as the point of out fall, Sir B. Hall would have assented to that plan. Long Reach was too distant for an outfall, but if they carried the sewage stilt further to Mucking Creek it would be a very curious affair indeed. Mr. BURSLEM thought that the board ought to have insisted with great energy before her Majesty's Govern ment that their, plan was to discharge the sewage at Barking Creek. Mr. HAWSES submitted that unless the members of the board were members of a red mountain, they were bound to abide by the decision of her Majesty's Govern ment. The board was under the command and control of the Government. (Cries of " No, no.") Mr. H. L. TAYLOR—Ridiculous. Mr. FEW thought the board ought to adopt the report of the engineer in favour of discharging the sewage at Long Reach. Mr. BASALGETTE explained that he did not think that that was the best point for the outfall. He had merely reported with regard to Long Reach because the board had instructed him to do so. After further discussion Mr. SAVAGE replied, observing that the effect of the amendment would be to bring the board back again to the plan in favour of Erith marshes, and he therefore hoped that the board would reject the amendment. Oct a division the numbers were— For the amendment.. Against it Majority —22 The amendment thus became the main question. Mr. F EW moved an amendment, to the effect " That the report of the engineer recommending the extension of the main outfall sewer, on the southern hide of the Thames, from Woolwich Arsenal, in a direct line to a point on the banks of the River Thames in the Erith marshes, known as Half -way Reach, be adopted." The LIIAIBMAN baying ruled that the arueudment 26 r • : . t, , AUSTRALIA.. LlvEßeoori, AUG. 12.. The screw steam-ship Royal Charter has arrived with advices from Melbourne to the 25th of May. She brought 181,000 ouncos of gold, and 10,000 sovereigns on freight, besides a large amount of gold and jewellery in the hands of passengers, of whom there are 326. The Royal Charter left the Heads on the 26th of May. For the 30 days succeeding she experienced strong easterly winds, and rounded Cape Horn under steam on the 331 day out. During the re mainder of the passage baffling head winds prevailed. In lat. 59 S., long. 90 W., she fell in with several icebergs. The Walmer Castle, for London, left Melbourne on the 17th of May. The Kent was intended to be despatched for London on the sth of June, and the Joseph Jarrett, for Liverpool, on the 10th. Our advices by this arrival record no political or general news of importance. The reaction against the feverish excitement of the gold mania having nearly terminated, the resources of the colony of Victoria were coining into full play, and the inhabitants were looking forward to a career of unexampled prosperity. The local Government had taken the subject of railways in hand, with the promise of pursuing the object with zeal and energy. Under the auspices of the Governor-General, Melbourne and Geelong would soon be connected by railway, and a line had been traced out from Melbourne, through the goldfields, to the river Murray. The Government had a balance of 700,0001. to 800,0001. to their credit at the banks. In trade and commerce the absence of all specu lation and excitement had become an established feature. Business generally was good. The fol lowing is a comparative statement of the imports and exports for the first quarter of 1855 and that of the current year : _ Imports first quarter 1855, 2,803,171/. ; 1856, 2,228,873/. Exports first quarter 1855, 2,997,157/. ; 1856, 4, 492,660/. The rate of interest for money was quoted at 8 to 10 per cent., but few transactions had taken place at those rates. The farmers of the colony were prosecuting their pursuits with great energy and success. Potatoes of the finest quality were selling from ss. to 7s. per cwt., while the price of flour was quoted at 261. per ton, enabling bread to be sold at from 10d. to ls. the 4113. loaf. The yield of the precious metal gt the various goldfiefds continued steadily to increase, notwith standing the temporary obstacles of winter, and the consequent cessation of operations on several goldfields. The respective amounts brought down. by escort for the first four months of 1856 were 962,040 ounces, against 589,337 ounces for the same period in 1855. Up to the 24th of May, 1856, 185,897 ounces had been received, against 120,424 ounces for the same period last year. The price of gold remained at 3/. 175., with an active demand. The rumoured discovery of new goldfields in the Gipps L tnd District, far removed from the locality of the known auri ferous districts, had been confirmed by reports from the district surveyor. At Mount Korong diggings, which had been almost abandoned as a failure, several monster nuggets had been dis covered. Quartz crushing continued on the in crease. There was very little doing in wool. For tallow the demand for colonial use was -almost equal to the quantity produced. The labour mar ket remained about the same as last quoted, there being no material difference in the rate of wages. What is called the eight-hour movement had been pretty generally successful, but it was thought that ultimately it would operate to the loss of those tradesmen who commenced the agitation, as a large influx of labour was arriving from the adjacent colonies. Sydney accounts state that the new Parliament would be called together for the despatch of busi ness on the 22,1 of May. The Governor-General had appointed Mr. Alfred Denison to be his Excellency' s private secretary ; also, with the advice of the Executive Council, Mr. William Macpherson to be clerk of the Legis lative Council of New South Wales. The Sydney Herald says:— " From the expression of political opinion made by members of the Government during the recent elec tions we may anticipate that its general scheme of policy will involve something like the following programme:— The introduction of a Measure for the repeal of the two third clauses of the Constitution Act ; measures for the establishment of municipal institutions; a comprehensive system of education which shall allay animosities and command general respect and support ; a revision of the administrative departments of the Government, with a view to a numerical reduction in subordinates, combined with increased efficiency from ability ; a vigorous prose clVion of public works in general, and of railway exten sion in particular, with a view to the increase in the value of the property of the colony, and the transmission of the produce of its remote districts to markets not available ; the full and unreserved consideration of the land question, both as to the distribution of the land, and the control of the revenue to be derived from it, and with the object of according greater facilities to the acquisiti , •n of public lands, with the prote'etion of existing private rights, and of providing such a system of taxation as shall bear more equally than at present on those who have to contribute to the general revenueriof the country." The Sydney commercial accounfi describe busi ness to be about the same as previov.sly reported. At Adelaide the wheat and flour :market was dull at a slight decline in price. Money was a little easier. _ _ At Ballarat the purchasing rate of gold had ad vanced from the Bank pricy of 77s- 6d. to 78s. 3d., in consequence of a desire to ship by the Royal Charter.

ARCHDEACON DENISON'S CASE. — THE JUDGMENT. -- BATH, August 12.—This being the day fixed upon for the deliverance of judgmont in the case of Archdeacon Denison, charged with ha sing preached doctrines con• trary to the Articles of the Church of England, in rela tion to the real presence in the Sacrament of the Lord's Supper, the court was crowded at an early hour.

CREDIT MOBILIER IN SW:(TZERLAND.—The Lausanne Gazette gives the following carious details concerning the subscription to the Zuri ch Cr edit Mobilier During the three days fixed for. receivi ng subscriptions the crowd which assembled was so great that no one could help feel ing pity for the poor wr et , ;dies who remained for half the day pushing and elbowin 4 each other, and imploring, almost on their knees, t bat they might be relieved of their bank notes ' rouleac x of gold, and sacks of silver.

Londe I Great Exhibition tolerably well, but London h. six or seven times the room ; and, moreover, the crush was spread over many months during the London Exhibition, and will be crowded into two or three wee k s at itloseow. Paris when tried suf fered a much more perceptible stroke of fulness in : fibA head. I During summer, as I have said, a good choice of roads is offered to the intending visitor of Russia. The French generally go right through Europe, which is now so covered in all directions with rail. ways, until you reach the Russian frontier. There, the little shaggy, wiry, spirited, ill-looking, inde fatigable horses of the country—the terriers of the equine family—still convey the coaches, diligences (or netNigetices), mails, and telegas from Warsaw onwards, either to St. Petersburg, as the case may be, or to Moscow. From England, you can go at present by a still shprter and more direct route than that through Hamburg and Lubeck, which was itself intended as a short cut upon the ‘, all sea passage." But, as sometimes occurs; especially in newly-opened communications, the " shortest' a s way occasionally proves to be the longest. The new line to which I refer, is that which the North of Europe Steam Company have this season opened. They book their passengers according as these may choose-Lthe whole journey to St. Petersburg or to either of the intermediate stations of Tonning and of Flensburg. The entire distance is charged seven guineas by boat and railway first class—each tra veller spending what he thinks fit for his living. There are also to be added to the cost certain delays at hotels. From St. Katherine's-wharf to Tonning, on the west coast of Schleswig, the distance across the north sea is 320 miles ; the run up the Elbe to Hamburg is saved. At Tonning the new railway takes you on to Flensburg, the capital of Schles wig, on its eastern coast. This rail journey occu pies two hours and a half, through a country of alternate moor, pasture, and tillage, and spares you 300 miles of sea roun d th e nor th of Denmark. Here occurs the first and only defect of the route. Were the boats which at Flensburg take up the passengers engaged to start within a couple of hours of their arrival, I venture to assert that this line would be quickly preferred to all others by travellers pro ceeding from London to St. Petersburg. But the sn amer waits at Flensburg for the cargo (often very heavy) from Tonning. The consequence is that, for extimi le, I arrived in Flensburg at halt-past .2 on Monday afternoon, and the steamer did not weigh anchor till 8 o'clock on the following Thurs day morning. It is but fair to add that this delay was greater than usual. The steamer for St. Pe tersburg generally starts the next day but one after the arrival of the passengers. The remainder of the distance Up the Baltic and Gulf of Finland, from the Fiord of Flensburg to Cronstadt, is exactly 811 . miles. The whole journey by this route ought to occupy, and will, I have no doubt, occupy, just 6 days on the average, sometimes only 5 ; at pre sent, with th 3 delay is the capital of Schleswig, it is above 7, and no time is gained over the long sea passage. Why should not the travellers go on at once by the first steamer, and the freight always by the next Thus the passengers would each time take with them the priv;oui journey's cargo, which must be thus delayed in any case. I would strongly recommend this route in sum mer in preference to the scramble from railway to railway across the whole breadth of Europe; and while it is capable of being made, as I have shown, the quickest which the nature of things will admit it is also full of charms both for the eye which de lights in beautiful scenery, and for the mind which can muse with pleasure on the theatre of great events, and of great conditions and beginnings of change, which are a little less hackneyed and less vulgarised than most others by the profaning ecstacies of tourists and the pumped-up raptures of diary-writers. GENERAL IFINDHAiII AT BEDALE. On Friday last Gen. Windham paid a visit to Beda le, in the North Riding of Yorkshire, a town with which he is connected by marriage ties, hi 9 wife being the sister of Mr. Henry Beresford Peirse, of Bedale. Oa learning a short time since that " the hero of the Redan" would make a temporary sojourn at the town, the inhabitants decided on giving him a most hearty re ception, at d a handsome subscription was raised for the . purpose of carrying out their arrangements. The prepa rations were conducted with great spirit, and on the day named the town presented a very gay appearance, not a house scarcely being without its flags and banners, with appropriate inscriptions. Triumphal arches were erected at various points, and a tent was pitched in the market place capable of dining 600 persons. General and Mrs. Windham arrived by spe'cial.train shortly after 11 o'clock, andowere received at the railway station by most of the nobility, gentry, and clergy of the town and neighbourhood, and amongst the number was Captain Swire, the general's aide-de-camp, who, it will be remembered, was 'severely wounded in the attack on the Redan. The station was decorated with sags an I evergreens, and on its platform were arranged the bands of the 7th Hussars, from York, and the North York Rifles, from Richmond, who, on the general stopping from the carriage, struck up " See the conquering ticr) comes." The guest of the day and Mrs. Windham were enthusiastically cheered, and were drawn into the town in an open carriage by the men. A platform was erected at the market-cress, which was filled with ladies, and from this place Mr. M. Milbank, of Thorpe Perrow, read an appropriate address to General Windham, who briefly replied. The carriage was then drawn to Mr. Peiree's hall, and in about two hours after wards a numerous party from the hall proceeded to the tent already referred to. About 250 ladies and gentle men partook of a cold collation, and nearly 400 heads of families were gratuitously provided at the same time with a but dinner. Mr. Milbank occupied the chair, and after grace prou , sed the usual loyal toasts. Lord Bolton then gave, " Our brave allies ;" and Lord Green ock (nephew of the late gallant Nir George Cathcart) followed with " The army and navy." This toa-t was acknowledged by Admiral Wyvill, and Col. Wade, of the North York Rifles. The Chairman then proposed " The health of General Windham," in doing which he briefly noticed some of the events of the late war in which the gallant general had been concerned. The tout was drunk with enthusiastic cheers, which were renewed when the general rose for the purpose of responding. In the course of his remarks he said he took no great credit to himself in what he bad done at the Redan, th)tigh he had been called its hero. He pointed to Captain Swire as having done'more ; for the latter had passed thrice through the fire, and fe 1 wounde 4 , while he only passed through it once. At the close of his speech three hearty cheers were given for Captain Swire. Lord Teignmouth next proposed " The fallen heroes of the late war," and deprecated the calumnious attacks which had been made on Lord Raglan and others by a portion of the press. "The health of Mrs. Windham" was next proposed by the Rev. J. J. T. Monson, rector of Bedaie. "The CAutilittee," proposed by Vis count Galway, nextfollowed;after which Mr. Wrightson, M.P. for Northallerton, gave " Prosperity to the town of Bedale." Mr. B. Pease concluded the toast list by proposina the chairman's health. In the afternoon up wards of 600 of the fair sex sat down to tea in the tent, and the day's proceedings were terminated by a display of fireworks and a ball. LOCAL SHARE MARKETS.
