Scarcely any attention has been vouchsafed to the events recently transpiring in Spain, and yet • those events are unquestionably of so very grave an importance as to be obviously calculated to bring about, sooner or later, a total change in the peninsula Government. An insurrectionary move • ment, at first merely local and partial in its cha raCter, has been rapidly developing into a general and comprehensive revolution. It was at first signalised by the sudden revolt of General DON DOMINGO DLTLCE, the Royal Inspector of Cavalry, who, on the 28th ult., left Madrid at the head of his troops to the cries of " Live the QUEEN ! Die Ile Ministers !" and proceeded thence with al' 8 _, 1 ?" (1 in. the direction of Gua dala j ara. That ".ruPt march was the signal for the rising of the enemies of the Government. It speedily ap- ISelared, however,that the Director of the Ca valr y , though on© of th e more distinguished and influ ential leaders, Was not by any means the recog • li t e vtn 4 e 9 ll o9 l e t i insurrection.woafsthseoonafteafte rwards discovered on the The head of the n publication o f Ge n er a l war LEOPOLD O'DONIC ELL'S froclarnatiim announcing him as the author of this formida,blepronunciame Formidable the rising has by this time proved itself to be—notwi thstan d ing the systematic efforts made by the Cabinet to depreciate its magnitude in the eyes of the popula tion. If we were to have believed the official organs of the SARTORIIIS Administration, we should have been driven to the necessity of be- lieving that, impossible though it might appear, the rebels had been, not once only, but two or three times over, utterly annihilated. And yet— while we have been listening to telegraphic an- nouncements from Madrid to the effect that the insurrection has been extinguished, that the lead ers of the revolt have betn severally destroyed, that their followers have been not merely routed, but completely cut to pieces—here are accounts pour ing in day after day proving that the chiefs of the rising ale in the best health and the highest spirits, and that hour by hour they are spreading more rapidly among the people an enthusiasm in favour of the new Revolution. Acdording to the Ministerial journals of Madrid—never were such salamanders Burnt to dust in the furnace of regal indignation thrice-heated, they are still alive, and -vigorous, and powerful—these often defeated but still triumphant heads of the insur rection ! Out of their funereal ashes they emerge with renewed energy, like the veriest phoenix of the fabulist, They have survived the terrible decrees of ISABELLA—and the portentous mani festoes of her Minister of War, the happily-entitled and redoubtable BLASER. Looking only to the assurances of the Madrid Gazette : we find that they were beaten at Vicalvaro--that they were compelled to retire precipitately upon Toledo— tbat they were driven back to Ciudad. Real—that they were flying in dismay to Estramadura, in the hope of escaping across the frontiers into Portugal that their cause was considered lost when they had only fled as far as Madridejos—that they were hastening on towards Andalusia in a state of extreme discouragement—that they were entirely routed in Valencia—that the rem nant of their never formidable body was retiring dispirited, disorganised, and in despair upon Despenaperros. And so forth ! All this —according to the statements confidently put forward by the organs of the SARTORIUS Govern ment. Birt, lo ! and behold, after we have been hearkening placidly to these statements of the wonderful triumphs of the Royal cause over the promoters of rebellion—come forth a series of rather startling counter-statements. This time, moreover—not fibs, but facts. Facts to the effect that the march from Madrid of General Drianc and his followers had been somewhat more suc cessful in June than the attempt to bring about a similar rising, the abortive attempt made in February, by Brigadier HORE at Saragossa. It turns out in reality that after all that has been said to the contrary by the Ministerial organs of the Spanish capital, the soldiers at least, if not the people, have shown themselves decidedly in favour of General DuLas pronunciamento. In somuch that the partial revolt gives promise of extending to a general insurrection. And out of this rebellious rising there is a prospect of a revolu tionary change in the whole system of Govern ment. The apparent flight of the insurgents from the metropolis proves to have been merely a sagacious retreat before the Royal forces, so as to enable an appeal to be for mally made to the provinces by the real leader of tne movement, General O'DONNELL, the Com mauder-iii-Chief of the army of the Constitu tion. The consequence of all which has b_en that, during two weeks from the first withdrawal of the troops of General DULOE from Madrid, their march towards Andalusia has been uninterrupted. More than this—the regiment of Montesa, within - a short distance of the metropolis, whither it wasbeing marched to augment the •garrison of the capital; boldly declared in favour of the Insurrection. The example thus glaringly given to the army has since proved irresistible at St. Sebastian with the regiment of Bourbon, and at Barcelona - with the regiments of Navarre and Guadalaxara.t. Court is doomed. Say what the friends of Cte Queen ISABELLA. may, her rule in Spain is fated, the days of her reign are numbered. This, we believe, to be absolutely assured as the result of the present movement—the existing state of things at Madrid being not only de spised, but regarded with disgust and indigna tion. Already there are rumours as to the course likely to be pursued by NARYAEZ and ESPARTERO —known to have been at length reconciled. It is notorious that Queen CHRISTINA, accompanied by Muaroz and their numerous children, is hastily preparing by a journey to the - frontier for the fa• e of her inevitable banishment. The Repub licans are beginning to speak confidently as to the probable consolidation at Madrid of a de mocratic Government. Meanwhile—how, about the " old parties" in the State—how about tha future course of the Moderados and the Proves sistas, the Liberals and the Caustitutionaliats? Most of all—What about the Carlists ? Are the affairs in Spain, already so marvellously confused, to be still further complicated ? Is the ABD•EL KADER of the Peninsula, the daring and heroic CABRERA again to appear in the storm of battle like some old knightly apparition ? Or are his locks shorn now that he has become a Benedict ? Is he fingering the distaff of DEJANIRA. instead of grasping the sword of ZUMULACARREGUI ? As yet through all the roar of the Spanish disturbances—not a word about the fading hopes of the Due de MONT PENSIER, not a whisper about the brightening day - dreams of the Conde de MONTEMOLIN ,k - e. I A case was on Wednesday heard before Mr. Commissioner MURPHY, at the Insolvent Debtors' Court, which exhibits in the strongest light the necessity for a speedy alteration in the Law of In solvency, •or of County Courts, or both. The Learned Commissioner (as well as the counsel for the unfortunate Insolvent) deplored the defect that prohibited him from granting tile immediate discharge of a prisoner clearly entitled to the benefit of the Act fur the Relief of Insolvent Debtors, and expressel his determination of di recting the attention of the Attorney-General to the subject, with a view of obtaining an adequate remedy to the existing evils. There are, how ever, other points in which modifications of the existing code are imperatively required, and we would entreat the attention of the Learned Com missioner thereto, so that they may be embodied in any new bill which he may think proper to submit for Legislative consideration. In the case under notice, the Insolvent, who was ont'on bail, was arrested on a County Court. commitment, as lie was actually proceeding to his hearing at Portugal-street. He was carried off to Whitechross-street, and he was subsequently brought up under an order of the Insolvent Court. After hearing the case, the Insolvent was_ declared to be fully entitled to the benefit of the Act, and discharged from all save the County Court commitment, under which he will have to languish out the time ordered by the County Court Judge.. Ilere, then, is a flagrant grievance, a case of great an a d ra m en a t n . ifest injustice committ ed, not onl y with the sanction, but by the express authority , of Par liament. man, petitioning the Insolvent Court, is compelled to surrender every shilling, or shil ling's wor e_ 151. i o f f l c ie er be u tai o n a i possession, or in any way entitled to, with the excep tionproperty, of which lie may be in rr,e retain n 2o in /. which he is allowed b a a r c t h ic et l lo es not exceeding the value of order i f an t a o rr a i possession, power, merely destitution, but revere nudity.

Is it not, then, a crud mockery-- a gross perversion of justice —to o punish a man severely for not doing that which the law itself administered through a court of concurrent ju risdiction debars him from doing. Pay the plaintiff, says the County Court Act, or you shall be imprisoned for any period not exceeding 41 days, which the Judge, in his discretion, or indi-s -cretion, in some instances the more correct desig nation, may order ; and such imprisonment shall not operate as a satisfaction of the debts, but may be repeated over and over again, without giving rest or peace to the miserable victim. Pay the demand at your peril, says the Insolvent Court, for if you do, you will be guilty of a fraudulent pre ference, a:A subject to remand for a term, not ex- THE SUN, LONDON. FRIDAY EVENING, JULY 21, 1854, ceeding three years from the date of your vesting order. Hard, indeed, is the fate of the man who comes between these conflicting fires—for whom escape is impossible, inasmuch as he must fall on either one side or the other. " Dextrum. Scylla latas, lcecum implacata Charybdis Obsidet." There is no central course. The whole way is blocked up, and in avoiding one danger he must be immersed in the opposing one. Nor was this Parliamentary oversight, as is generally supposed. The Legislature deliberately framed the clause (9 and 10 Via. c. 95, sec. 162), which provided that " no protection order or certificate granted by any Court of Bankruptcy, or for the relief of insolvent debtors, shall be available to discharge any defendint from any commitment under such last mentioned order" (i.e. of the County Court). This then should be immediately redressed, even before the termination of the session, or great in justice may be inflicted under an enactment af fording so formidable an opportunity for oppres sion and extortion, and holding out so direct an incentive to wilful and corrupt perjury. But this is not all. We have recently seen that after a hearing and discharge by the Insol vent Debtors' Court, the County Court Judge may allow the seizure of the " excepted articles" for a debt, or grant a warrant of commitment against the debtor. This was an oversight—a clear mistake on the part of Parliament, and the error should be forthwith avoided. Is it not palpably ridiculous that a party should be enabled to plead a diNharge by the Insolvent Court as a defence to a suit, and that it should be sufficient to prevent the obtain ing a judgment, but not to prevent execution being issued on a judgment already obtained. There might be some plausible reasons offered in favour of reversing these positions and allowing a judgment to be obtained, although not to be exe cuted against an insolvent ; but the present system is utterly indefensible. Were it not for the pre cedents afforded by Mr. Sergeant MANNING and Mr. G. CLIVE, we could not have conceived the possibility of any man selected for a seat on the Judicial Bench wilfully setting at defiance the authority of a court of concurrent jurisdiction, and practically sanctioning appeals from the Learned Commissioncirs of the Insolvent Court, where such appeals were manifestly not contem plated by Parliament. There is another evil also worthy of notice. The discharge of the Insolvent Court may extend to all payments, "by way of amenity or otherwise, at any future time or times," by virtue of any bond, covenant, or other securities of any nature whatsoever" (Ist and 2d Via., cap. 110, sec. 80). But if there is an agreement that, in default of payment (as, for instance, of a premium of insu rance), the obligee may himself pay it, and then recover from the obliger, there is no exemption —and the party may be sued time after time for what, to all intents and purposes, is the same debt, and founded on a liability existing before, and adjudicated on under his insolvency. In this point also (another Le gislative oversight) adequate redress should be afforded ; and Mr. Commissioner MURPHY will entitle himself to the thanks and gratitude of the community if he procure the enactment of a suit able measure. THE NAPIER TESTIMONIAL. At a meeting of the committee held on the 15th of July, 1854, at the residence of the Rb.ht Hon. the Earl of Ellenborough—his Lordship in the chair— It was resolved— " That a special general meeting of the committee be assembled at the United Service Institution, in White- hall-yard, on Saturday, the 22d of July instant, at half past two o'clock, p.m., to take into consideration the report of the secretaries, and the future course to be adopted in all matters connected with the furtherance of the Napier Testimonial ; and " That with this view, a special invitation be ad dressed to each member of the committee, earnestly re questing his attendance on that occasion." A MONUMENT BY MR. J. ED WARDS. We have had the pleasure of seeing a monument of great beauty and refinement at the retired studio of Mr. J. Edwards,. in Robert-street, Hampstead road. It is*to be erected, we understand, in a church at Colchester, by W. Warwick Hawkins, Esq., M.P., and his brother, in commemoration of their widely-respected parents and of their youthful brother and sister. The work altogether will be not less, we should say, than fifteen feet high by six feet wide. It is made of three kinds of Italian marble, so disposed as to give effect to the sculp tured part, which is in a fine white piece, and is a production of so much excellence that we have no hesitation in saying that, had it been found by Dr. Layard among the ancient sculptures of Nineveh, it would be hailed as an acquisition of immense value, and treasured in the British Museum with the utmost care. It represents the " daughter of Faith, unfading, HOPE,' who, among her other beneficent services to man, illutues "the dread unknown, the chaos of the tomb." Robed in sculptorial beauty she stands, in this admirable work of art, all calm and erect, not " hid behind the dragon-winged Despair," but in " her radient might" is unobstructed to the view. With one hand she trustingly presses her bosom, which is covered over with the rich folds of her ample drapery ; with the other she rests firmly on the anchor—" the anchor of the soul," as the sacred volume leaning against it characterises the heavenly " hope" given to us; while with an ex pression the most, pure and deep she looks high heavenward, as if breathing the words of the in spired Psalmist—" Mine eyes are unto thee, 0 God the Lord : in Thee is my trust ;" which words are given in raised and polished letters on the monument itself, immediately below the figure. The solemn connection of this heavenward look and earnest aspiration with the mournful resting place of the departed, and with the humble as surance that the "shadow of death" shall indeed be " turned into the morning," is effectually indi cated by the urn on her left side, on which is given the classic symbol of the soul ascending, while that, of the body is reposing in the dreamless sleep below ; and on which is also seen the monogram of the Redeemer, between the Alpha and Omega placed above the symbol of Eternity and its cycles of everlasting change from renovation to decay, from life to death in continual succession; arid these are accompanied by the motto, " Mors est janua tnelioris vite—Death is the gate to a better life. Nor are these the only accessories in the design, while each is made so unobtrusive as to be almost unnoticeable. For inasmuch as the feeling of hope is deemed to be to the human mind what the morning star is to the rising sun—the har binger of the bright orb yet to arise as a vast sign, we trust, of the sure dawning in unfading glory of the great day eternal—so is the morning star of hope here seen high above her upturned face. And inasmuch as hope not unfrequeutly imparts to the mind a blessed light amidst the dank, heavy clouds that often encompass man's terrestrial exist ence, so, in this fine monumental relievo, are the clouds seen, and the light, too, as of a large halo ; and in the light, gleaming as it were most myste riously from the head of the figure, there is a lambent flame observable, encircled by a sign evi dently denoting it as a flame for ever unquench able. This induces us to conclude our slight de scription of a true work of abstract art in the words of the poet Campbell, who says : • " Eternal HOPE ! when yonder spheres sublime Peal'd their first note to sound the march of Time, Thy joyous youth began—but not to fade. When all the sister planets have decayed ; When wrapt in fire the realms of ether glow, And heaven's last thunder shakes the world below; Thou, nndismay'd, shalt o'er the ruins smile, And light thy torch at.Natum's funeral pile." THE ROYAL CRUISE.—It is reported that the first Royal cruise this season, in the Victoria and Albert, will be a visit of the Queen to the Channal Islands, Captain Lefebre, in his steamer Dasher, is ordered to Portsmouth, to be in attendance on the Royal yacht. The Marchioness of Hastings and the Baroness Grey de Ruthyn have issued cards of invitation or a grand concert, on Wednesday next, the 26th instan f t. The Marquis of Downshire has arrived at Hillsborough Castle. The marchioness and youthful family, with Sir George Chetwynd and Lady Charlotte Chetwynd, are at present residing at Kreuznac h, Bin g en, Prussia. The marchioness and family intend retu r n in g to Hillsborou g h in August. The c e l e b ra ti on of the matrimonial alliance of Mr. DJu g l as Holford and Miss Lindsey, daughter of General Lindsey, is fixed for Thursday, the 3d of August. DELAY. IN THE DEPARTURE OF THE MARCO POLO.— Owing to the difficulties experienced in completing the , arrangements, the owners found it impossible' to des patch this celebrated ship yesterday ; and as Friday is : generally looked upon as " an unlucky day," her depar ture has been postponed until to-morrow morning, 22d inst. She has all her passengers (600 in number) on board, and will positively sail to-morrow. AONEY 1A ItKE AND . COAILIEECIAL INTELLIGENCE. CITY, TWO o'CLOCK. The sales of cotton at Liverpool yesterday were estimated at 8,000 bales, including 1,000 American taken for export and on speculation. The market closed steadily, without change in prices. The sales comprised 5,500 American, 350 Bahia at 68a. to 6d., 200 Egyptian at 6jd. to 7d., 2,000 Surat at 2d. to 4ild. and 30 Sea Island at ls. Al to is. Bd., per lb. Railway Shares were firm. Colonial produce has been dealt in to a moderate extent this week. Sugar has been in steady de mand for consumption, without any speculative inquiry. Coffee has been firm. Rice has gone down, owing to the finer weather and the decline in grain. Rumbas been in greater request, and at fuller rates. The tea market continues quiet, and there has not been much done in cotton. Saltpetre has been in request.

All plantations and lands are to be included, whether belonging to indivi duals or to corporations. Great powers are given to the Commissioners, the chief of whom is to be a barrister of not less than 10 years' standing, resi dent in England ; but local commissioners may be appointed by the Government of any colony. The salaries are to be decided upon in committee. The commissioners will have power to sell lands, but not atter application has been made to any compe tent tribunal in the colony and dismissed, unless the costs thereby incurred are discharged. Due inquiries are to be made as to the cir cumstances of the land, and the parties in terested therein, and no sale will be allowed where the yearly interest on the encumbrance does not exceed half of the net yearly value of the land, calculated on the average profits, after deducting all necessary outgoing during the preceding seven years, or such periods as the Commissioners may determine, unless there exists no objection to such sale. The rights of yearly tenants and other tem porary interests are to be regarded, the dowers and encumbrances are to be provided for, either by making the sale of the lands subject to the same, or paying them out of the gross amount realised. Every advance made under this act will give the purchaser the fee simple in the land.

Application was made to her Majesty's Government for a charter, which, at a Privy Council held 10th November, 1852, was referred to the Board of. Trade for consideration and report. " Your Directors have now however much satisfaction in acquainting the shareholders, that a negociation is ac tually in progress, which, if prosecuted to a successful ter• urination, will enable the Bank of Asia to commence busi ness at once, with a capital adequate to the requirements of the Charter, and without calling upon the shareholders for a contribution to accomplish it. While the negotiation is still pending, the Directors do not think it desirable for many reasons to lay the details of the proposed arrange ment before the shareholders, but they may state, in general terms, that it involves the amalgamation of the capital of another bank, now in fall and profitable operation, with that of the Bank of Asia, on such terms as can scarcely fail to be of great mutual benefit. " Your directors were subsequently occupied in obtain ing the necessary approval of the Lord Chancellor and of the law officers of the Crown to the precise terms of the charter; and and it was not until the 29th of December, 1853, that the directors finally obtained the Royal Charter of Incorporation, with the Great Seal affixed thereto. " The shareholders will observe, that after full provi sion for the preliminary and other expenses of the bank up to the 15th inst., a considerable balance remains in hand. As this amount will not be required for the =rent pur poses of the bank, the directors feel themselves bound now to recommend the appropriation of a portion of it to the shareholders, by declaring a payment to them in the shape of interest of four shillings per share, being at the rate of four per cent. upon the amount of the deposits; the same t o b e payable at the office of the bank, on and after the 7th day of August, 1854, free of income tax." The receipts from September 1852 to July 15, 1854, are given at 109,0421., and the disburse ments at 4,6801., leaving 104,3611. in hand, chiefly invested in securities.

CONSTANTINOPLE. CONsTANTINOPLE, JULY 10.—The allied fleets are before Baltscbick. The Russian flotilla has returned. Omer Pacha is visiting the English camp. Admirals Dundas and Hamelin are at Varna. The consul of France at Tiflis has received orders to quit the town in three hours. At Batoum the Russians have been repulsed by the Turks. In consequence of a requisition by Selim Pacha, 4,000 Turkish troops have been despatched from Varna to Circassia, as the district in which he com mands has refused to supply its contingent of re cruits. Another despatch of the 10th says the Sulina mouth of the Danube is occupied by British and French troops. The Russian coast has been closely reconnoitred, from the Kilia mouth of the Danube to the mouth of the Dniester. Three steamers of the allied fleets guard the mouths of the Danube, to prevent the escape of the Russian river flotilla, while a party of British seamen has gone overland to Rustchuk, to unite with the Ottoman river-fleet in an attack on the enemy's boats. THE BLACK SEA. We have correspondence from the fleet up to the 9th instant. Vice-Admiral Dundas and our allies remained at Baltchick at that date. The Tribune, 31, screw, Captain the Hon. S. T. Carnegie, and Diamond., 28, Captain Peel, joined the fleet, the former from England, and the latter from the Piraeus, on the 7th inst. The Admiral had despatcned the Sidon, 22, pad• dle, Captain Goldsmith, to the coast of Georgia. Fury, 6, paddle, Commander Tatham, had not returned from Odessa. Rear-Admiral Boxer had hoisted his flag on board the Harpy, 3, paddle, on her arrival on the Ist inst. at Beycos. The Wasp, 14, screw, Commander Lord John Hay,and the Medina, 4, paddle, Lieutenant Com mander Beresford, were at Beycos on the 10th. Tue following is an extract of a private letter from the fleet. Lieutenant Glyn referred to is the son of Mr. Carr Glyn, M.P., the City banker. BALDJIK, July 8, 1854.—There is nothing going on. The armies are unable to move as yet, or if able nothing great would be undertaken before Austria is fully committed in the war. Let her come into the provinces, and we will think seri ously of the Crimea. But the troops, French and English, are not in a state, just yet, to carry on any difficult operations on even a sea-board. The commissariat is the universal object of complaint. If the Russians had been able to contend against the Turks, they might have taken Silistria for all that the allied armies could have done, for want of a commissariat. The defence of Silistria has been very glorious to the old Turks, and I hope they will get full credit for it. The Russians, no doubt, put forth all their strength against them. There have been but few changes in the fleet since I last wrote. We have three steamers off Sebastopol observing the enemy's fleet and block ading. The screw-ship in Circassia; the Sanspareil is at Varna; the Diamond and Tribune, ships, joined to-day. Captain Symonds, of the Agamemnon, has gone back to his old ship, the Arethusa. Lieutenant Glyn, of the flag-ship, having under him the Prince Ernest of Leiningen, belonging to the same ship, and 30 petty ollieers and seamen from the fleet, has been detached from the flag ship, and placed under the orders of the military eounnander-in-chief. Tuey disembarked yesterday at Varna from the Caradoc, and procee(led, by laud of course, towards Rustchuck. Mr. Glyn expects to find at that place some gun-boats belonging to the Turks, which he will take command of, and man them by his own seamen. He is a clever, active, zealous young officer, and will either sink in the Danube or suc ceed. His second in command, Prince Ernest, although not actually belonging to the service,, will go iu with no less gusto against the Muscovites. They started yesterday from Varna, accompanied by a party of sappers, all mounted. How the Jacks will get on, mounted on Arab steeds, is more than I can say ; but they will be more fatigued by this short journey to the Danube than by a voyage of 10,000 miles. This little naval expedition is, suppose, to reconnoitre and feel the way with gim, boats in the Danube, and will probably be soon fol lowed by other parties detached from the fleet. If destined to remain here much longer this will be a popular service. We aro sti.l detained here by the military chiefs. I repeat, my idea is that neither the armies nor the fleets will move till Austria has fully committed herself. Tue Fury passed through the fleet last night on her way from Constantinople to Odessa, with the Russian prisoners that were captured on the coast. of Circassia on landing ; the admiral having lately received a favourable answer to his proposition for the exchange of prisoners. THE DANUBE. In a despatch from Vienna, dated yesterday, it is stated that the great mass of the Turkish army is marching towards the mouths of the Danube, and that Giurgevo is held merely by a division. A letter from Orsova of the 15th, in the Press of Vienna, says :—" Mehemed Pacha oc cupied on the Bth Czernawoda, in the Dobrudscha, after a combat which lasted five hours, and ended by obliging the Russians to retire to the left bank of the Danube." From the different accounts received it appears that before raising the siege of Silistria, the Rus sians for three days and nights subjected not only the two redoubts but the town itself to a bombard ment of which history does not furnish a parallel case, and which from a cruelty without any motive was extended to the inoffensive parts of the town, anti directed not against the soldiers, but the in habitants. A number of mosques, minarets, and houses have been destroyed, and several old men, women, and children perished. In a military point of view the act was completely useless. The whole garrison of the town, and particularly the defenders of the fort of Arab-Tabia, evinced the most ad mirable courage, resignation, and devotedness. MONTENEGRO. - - - TRIESTE, July 20.—A portion of Montenegro has revolted. Prince Dam lo is marching with 6,0:)0 meu against the insurgents , who have ap pLaled for protection to Turkey. Accounts received from Vienna, Thursday even ing, says Prince Daniel of Montenegro has dis persed somo rioters who took possession of a con vent. The ringleaders fled. The main body of the Montenegrins is peacefully disposed towards the Turks. THE WAR IN ASIA. The following letter from Constantinople, dated the 10th, is given by the Pays : " I announce to you with pleasure that it is now in contemplation to act seriously in Asia. Six thousand regular troops have embarked at Varna, and others are doing so every day. It is intended to send 20,000 men there. If they were but to add 10.000 French troops, this force would be sufficient to expel the Russians from the Caucasian provinces, which would be an immense result, as Russia would lose all the sacrifices of' men and money which she has made for the last century. The moral effect of the presence of the allies would be immense not only on the Turks, but also on the., Christian populations of Georgia. The following details relative to the forces of the army of Asia have been furnished to me by a very competent person in the country. There are at Batoum, Redout-Kale, and Soukoum-Kal6e, 20,000 men under the orders of Selim Pacha, and at Ardaham a division of 6,000 men ; the army of Anatolia is composed of 30,000 excellent troops, and at Bayazid there are 8,000 men, exclusive of irregulars. If to all these forces, which appear to me to be already very imposing, you add 20,000 who are joining from the army of Otner Pacha, it will give a large amount. If Russia wishes to defend herself in Asia, she will be compelled to weaken her army of the Danube or of Bessarabia, which will be very difficult under existing circumstances. Extensive preparations are still making for an attack. on Sebastopol, and it is thought that it will take place immediately. The moral effect of the raising of the siege of Silistria has been immense, and every one is at a loss to explain the con duct of the R uss i an generals. . The d ea th o f General Schilders has caused a great sensation ; he was the best Enginee r -G enera l i n the R uss i an army., RUSSIAN ESTIMATE OF ENGLISH COURAGE. The following, written from Sebastopol by one of the many dozen Prince Galitzins, appears in the Northern Bee : " We have convinced ourselves that the moral strength of the combin- d fleet has not increased, but, on the con trary, diminished, in proportion to its augmented de structive powers. For instance, the English steam-fri gate Tiger, of 400 horse-power and 16 guns, was stranded about six wersts from Odessa. On the shore where this took place were posted two field guns, a company of in fantry, and one half.squadron of Lancers—and what fol lower ? Why, an event unknown in the annals of the most timorous and most insignificant fleets. This steam frigate, which borrowed its name from the most savage of all beasts, took no measures to defend the honour of its flag. Although it had only five wounded, and its crew consisted of twenty-two officers and more than 200 sailors and marines 'of the guard,' it surrendered itself prisoner to a mere handful of land troops ; and as we had no boats, the English gave themselves the trouble to row themselves ashore iu their own. boats. This cannot be called manly conduct. At the same time they distingui4lYed themselves by a sort of polite civility, which xas not met with among the Turks and Egyptians when Vice-Admiral Kornelow conquered the ship." Now comes the moral :—" These are the sorrow ful results with which premature vauntings are crowned, and which so seldom are realised by facts." The whole of the circumstances attending the stranding of the Tiger, and the utter helplessness of the vessel as she lay on her beam-ends, are too well known to render it necessary to offer a word in reply to this generous attempt to stigmatise the honour of brave men in Russian prisons. ANXIETY OF THE GERMAN POWERS FOR FRESH NEGOTIATIONS. It has already been stated that the Austrian and Prussian Governments had addressed notes to the Cabinets of London and Paris, in which they gave it as their opinion that the answer of Russia to the Austrian summons, calling on the Czar to evacuate the provinces, contained propo sitions capable of becoming the basis of further negotiations for the re-establishment of peace. It is now said that the German Powers not only urge the Western Powers to enter into the nego tiations, but that they invite France and England to state the conditions on which they are willing to conclude a peace. Letters received from Berlin state that the note, of which M. de Manteuffel was the bearer from Berlin to Vienna, and which is the answer of Prussia to the answer of Russia, was in the first instance communicated to M. de sudberg, the Russian Minister. The partisans of Russia, in Paris, are in great spirits at present. They say that not only are Austria and Prussia exerting themselves to re commence negotiations on terms which will be favourable to Russia, but that in the meantime the military operations of the allies are nearly at a standstill. The attack upon Sebastopol, they affirm, is adjourned indefinitely; the attack upon Cronstadt will not take place this year ; and even the great battle in the neighbourhood of Bucharest, which has been so anxiously expected for the last two days, is more than problematical. The opera tions of the war are consequently reduced to a simple blockade, and with the exception of the bombardment of a few insignificant villages, Russia has nothing to fear. With such prospects, they anticipate the triumph of Russia, by the same means which have availed her on former occasions —namely, her diplomacy. DESERTERS FROM THE RUSSIAN ARMY. SEIUMLA, June 3J.—The desertions from the Russian camp are frequent, and the deserters com plained of ill-treatment and want of food. Not the least among the extraordinary features of this extraordinary siege is, that the besiegers came for food to the besieged. The deserters said that whole regiments would go over if they were certain of a good reception, and that their generals would not give the troops rations, saying the soldiers must starve until they had taken Silistria. These are the assertions of deserters, and, though not improbable in themselves, they may nevertheless have that strong colouring which deserters are in the habit of giving to their accounts of the state of affairs in their own camp. But another fact I can give on the authority of a British officer. The Russians had opened a trench, and established a battery within a very short stone's throw of the Arab Tabia. The besiegers and the besieged could hear one another, and they very frequently in dulged in an exchange of not very friendly words and sentiments. But on one occasion, when there was a pause in the firing, a voice was heard to ex claim from the Russian trench, " I say, you Turks, have you any tobacco ?" The answer was—" Of course we have, you pesewang (anglice, pimp) ; more than you can smoke." " Would you mind selling me some ?" said the Russian. "No, you may have will send for it to the town, and you may fetch it." The Russian then cautiously alvaucing from the trench, flung a silver rouble into the Arab Tabia, a soldier went to the town and came back with several okas of tobacco, which were duly flung over to the Russians. This mer cantile affair being settled to the satisfaction of both prrties, the firing re-commenced. OMER PACHA. AT THE BRITISH CAMP. CAMP AT DEVNA, Monday, July 3. We have just had a very exciting review. The men, who bad had a four hours' drill between half-past 4 and half-past 8 o'clock this morning, had finished dinner when news arrived that Omer Yachts was coming on his way from Si istria to Varna, and that he might be expected in a,. hour. Presently the Brigade Majors rode up from the Brigadiers with orders to the Colonels to hold their regiments in readiness to turn out, and in about half an hour more the bugles sounded the assembly. The Turkish infantry down on the plains below were ob served to fall in, and draw up in solid columns in front of their tents. About two o'clock a fsifit streak of dust rose over the white lines of the road winding far in the distance over the hills which lie towards Shumla, and I through the glass could be discerned two travelling carriages, with a small escort of horse, moving rapidly towards the village of Devna. Arrived there, they halted, and the whole of the staff present with the division hastened to pay their respects to Omer Pacha ; Brigadiers Airey, Buller, Brigade-Majors Mackenzie and Maxwell/. Colonel Sullivan, Captain Mac donnell, Captain Pearson, Mr. Campbell, as web as Colonel Bentinck, Brigadier-General of the brigade of Guards, and Captain Byng, his . aide-de-camp, who happened to have ridden up from Aladyn. Omer Pacha mounted his horse, and attended by Colonel Dieu, by an English officer attached to the British Embassy at Constantinople, and seve ral of his suite and followers, rode up the hill towards the camp, in front of which the whole division was drawn up in line in a very short space of time. The English staff rode after him , a nd at his side were the two Brigadiers. The coup d'ceil was magnificent. The blue outlines of the distant hills, over which played the heavy shadows of rapidly-gathering thunder clouds—the green sweep of th e valle y below dotted with tents, and marked here and there with dark black masses of Turkish infantry—the arid banks of sand, and grey cliffs, display g every variety of light and shadow —and then the crest of the hill, along which for a mile shone the bayonets of the British infantry, topped' by the canvass walls be hind them—formed a spectacle worth coming far to see. Omer Pasha was dressed with neatness and simplicity— no order glittered clo se -fitti ng on his breast, and his blue f roc k-coat displayed no ornament beyo n d a plain gold s houlder-strap and gilt buttons. He wore the fez cap, which showed to advantage the clear well-marked lines of his calm and resolute face ; embrowned by exposure to wind and weather fur many a year of a soldier's lif and the hue of which was well con t r a s t e d w i t h his snow white whiskers. In the rude and rather sensual mouth, with compressed thick lips, was traceable, if physiog nomy have truth, enormous firmness and resolution.- The chin, full and square, evinced . the same quali ties, which might also be discerned in the general form of the head. Those who remember the statue of Radetzky at the Great Exhibition will 'understand what I mean. All the rougher features, the coarse nose, and the slight prominence of the cheek bones, are more than redeemed by the quick, penetrating, and expressive eye, full of quiet courage and genius, arid by the cairn though rather stubborn brow, marked by lines of thought, rising above the thick shaggy eye brow. In person he appeared to be rather below than above the ordinary height ; but his horse, a well-trained grey, was not as tat as the English chargers beside him, and he may really be more than 5 feet 7or 8. His figure is light, spare, and active, and his seat on horse back, though too Turkish for our notions of equestrian propriety, was firm and easy. He wore white gloves and neat boots, and alto4ether would have passed mus ter very well in the ring at Hyde-park as a well-ap pointed, quiet gentleman. His staff were by no means so well turned out, but the few Hussars of the escort were stout soldier-like looking fellows. One of them led a strong chestnut Arab, which was the Pasha's battle-charger. As he rode by, the troops presented arms, and when he reached the end of the line they broke into column. advanced, and performed some simple field-day manceuvres, to the great delight of the Pasha. As the men moved off after exercising for about three-quarters of an hour the cavalry came up at full trot and at once rivetted the attention-of the Pasha. There were one and a ha lf s q uadron of 17th Lancers, a troop of the Bth, and a troop of the 11th Hussars. The Artillery horses and Dragoon horses were out at water. There were two or three magnificent charges, and the Pasha is said to have declared that such infantry and cavalry could dash ov er an y troops in the world. As he retired from the field, the men, who had all been dismissed, thronged, in shirts and fatigue jackets, to the front of the lines, and cheered him enthusiastically, to his great delight. About six o'clock, after reviewing the Turks in the plain, he drove to Varna. It is said the Pasha brings news that the Russians are retreating on Breda, and that he has gone to consult M. St. Arnaud and Lord Raglan concerning an advance of which we have heard rumours the whole of this day. Sir George Brown re turned this evening from a forty mile ride through the rain and rode over to see the Brigadier. He was much disappointed in not being in time to see Omer Pasha. Another letter from same place, dated July 8, says : It was expected that Omer Pasha would have returned from Varna on the following day (Wednesday), but he was so busily engaged in trans.icting business and con sulting with the French and English Generals that he did not pass by till last Thursday. As the heavy cavalry under Brigadier-General Scarlett, am.l the horse artillery and artillery battery had not been inspected by him on the 4th, orders were given that they should parade on the extensive plains near the camp by eleven o'clock in the forenoon. Omer Pasha left Varna early, and on arriving at Aladyn he found the Duke of Cain bridge's division ready to receive him. He expressed in the most lively way his admiration at the magnificent appearance of the Guards and Highlanders, and after the review he retired with his Royal Highness the Duke to his tent, where he remained for some time, and partook of some refreshment. Meantime the Dragoons and Artillery remained drawn up in the plain under the sun till they were ordered to dismount and stand at ease. General Sir George Brown, his Brigadiers Buller and Airey, Colonel Sullivan, and the officers of the divi sional and brigade staffs, rode along the road towards Aladyn, and remained waiting for some time, and an escort of two troops of Turkish cavalry which WO been sent out to meet the Pasha, tarried in vain hour after hour for his coining. At length a cloud of dust rose above the brushwood of the hill side, and it was thought Omer Pasha was at band, but as the horseman followed by two mounted officers drew near, the men recognised the well-known features of Lord Raglan, who had ridden over to pay a visit to the Light Division. His lordship looked somewhat tired after his ride, and did not scorn the use of a white cap cover, a " night cap" which Sir George Brown has not yet been driven to adopt. He informed the officers of the cause of Omer _ _ Pasha's delay, and then, after he had gone down the line and inspected the dismounted Dragoons and Artil lery, he repaired with Sir George Brown to his quarters to partake of some refreshment. About two o'clock Omer Pasha's travelling carriages, escorted by Turkish cavalry, appeared in sight. The Pasha, mounting one of his led chargers, and followed by a small suite of aides, pipe -bearers, &c., rode up towards the review ground, and was received by Lord Raglan, Sir George - Brown, Brigadier-General Scarlett, the Brigadiers of Division, &c. He was dressed simply, as on the first day he visited us, except that he wore a star on his left breast, and he seemed vivacious and pleased as he en tered into conversation with the English Generals. After a time the Dragoons went past in splendid order, and then the two troops of Royal Horse Artillery and the battery came by at a trot, which was gra dually quickened into a dashing gallop, so that the 61b. and 91b. guns, and carriages, and tumbrils went hopping and bounding over the sward. The evo lutions were simple but effective and imposing. A charge in line, which shook the very earth as men and horses flew past like a whirlwind, wreathed in clouds of dust, particularly excited the Pasha's admiration, and. he is reported to have said, " With one such regiment as that I would ride over and grind into the earth four - Russian regiments at least." He was particularly struck by the stature of the men and the size and fine condition of the horses, both Dragoon and Artillery, but these things did not lead him away from examining into the more important question of their efficiency, and be looked closely at accoutrements, weapons, and carriages. At his request Sir George Brown called a Dragoon and made him take off his helmet. The Pasha examined it minutely, had the white cover taken off, and requested that the man should be asked whether it was comfort-. able or not. The soldier replied tkat it was, and it is to be hoped that the Turkish cavalry may ' get something better than the wretched fez to put on their heads now' that the Pasha sees that brass and leather can be fashioned so as to, protect the, skull without inconveni ence to the owner. Tile usual field-day" mancedvres. were performed by the Artillery. They did just what they are wont to do when his Royal Highne s Saxe some-place-or-other visits Woolwich, moving like one man, wheeling as if men, horses, and guns formed part of one machine, sweeping the plain with the force and almost the speed of steam-engines, unlimbering guns, taking them to pieces, putting them together, and vanishing in columns of dust. The inspection was over at half-past 3 o'clock, to the great delight of the men-; and Omer Pasha, who repeatedly expressed his gratification and delight at the spectacle, retired with the Generals to Sir George Brown's quarters, and in the .course of the evening renewed his journey to Shumla. Froel what he is said to have let drop to those around ban there can be no doubt but that he will at once order en advance of the troops under his command across the Danube about Rustchuk, and that the army between Silistria and Shumla will be sent into the Principalities if their movements depend on the will of the Turkish Generalissimo. He cannot understand the delay w hich has taken place in our movements, and, accustmned to the easy foraging habits of their troops and a Bashi' Bazouk Commissariat as they are, it is very hard for Osmanli Generals to understand how we are hampered and impeded for want of carts and arabas. Indeed, some of the men about Shumla do not hesitate to attribute " cowardice" to French and English, though they hare, seen Silistria at least saved by the skill and devotion 0 ' our countrymen. There is one phrase which serves as the universal ponent of peace, goodwill, praise, and satisfaction b tween the natives and the soldiery. I have been unable to determine its origin exactly, but I rather think it arose from the habit of our men at Malta in addrese" ing every native as " Johnny." At Gallipoli the soldiers persisted in applying the same word to Turk and Greek, and at length Turk and Greek began to apply it to ourselves, so that stately Gen . ' rats and pompous Colonels, as they stalked down the bazaar, heard themselves addressed by the proprietors as " Johnny ; " and to this appellation "bono w ej ,, added, to signify the excellenc e o f th e wares o ffered or public coinpatition. It is now the established al of the army. The natives walk through the cateP: calling out "Bono, Johnny Sood, sood " " Bono, Johnny ! Yoomoortler " (eggs) I or, " Ben °r Johnny ! Kasler" (geese) I as the case may be ; and the dislike of the contracting parties to the terms offered on either side is expressed by the simple phrase of " . 0 P bono, Johnny!" As you ride along the road Triendli natives grin at you, and think, no matter what Xl' rank, that they have set themselves right with yoth paid a graceful compliment, by a shout of "B°l Johnny." Even the dignified reserve of ,RoyalDuk!_, and Generals of Division has had to undeigo the ordeeb . ,, of this salutation from Pashas and other dignitaries. l b a benighted Turk, riding homewards, is encountered by a picket of the Light Division, he answers the challenge of " Who goes there?" with a " Bono, Johnny," - and, 4 •, immediately invited to "Advance, friend, and all's wet': and the native servants sometimes use the same phrase to disarm the anger of their masters. It is really a mOl t ,, wonderful form of speech, and judiciously.applied,J , might now " work " a man from one end of Turkey Europe to the other. The most singular use of. it wee made the other day, when Outer Pasha first visited 0" camp. After the infantry had been di sm i sse d to fbc"r tents, they crowded to time front of their lines in-fatigae jackets and frocks to see the Pasha go by, and se 11 e a 4". proached them a shout of " Bono I bow) Johnny _I rent the air, to the great astonishment of Omer, while l6 .. flight of "foragers" into the air gave him some f1era ....1 9 1 " of a British welcome. He smiled and bowed several' in acknowledgment, but it is said that se' iZ whoops, hurrahs, and yells of the Connaught Rang .. 1 rang in his ears, he turned to one of the officers 'rear ii;: 7l and said, " These are noble-looking fellows, but it oat be very hard to keep them in order I" He c/uld ne t comprehend bow such freedom could be made colndet4").r with strict discipline in the ranks, BRITISH TROOPS ON THE MARLS" The special correspondent of the T times giVeb . hi ,- a 14 following account of th e marc h o f troops fie d o:— camp near Varna to Devna . • • "On Friday morning (30th June) tents were .0 , at half-past three o' c l oc k, an d th e men were Per°7(l and in readiness to march at half-past four o'clock. five o'clock they commenced their march.
