another day's march, to three miles beyondAlyden, and en route to Devna, but as the weather still continues very unfavourable and boisterous they will most likely post pone any movement until to-morrow. Sir Richard Eng land's division is now the only one which remains here, and they are expecting hourly the order to advance in the track of the division of Sir De Lacy Evans. 3 3efore the end of another week not many En g lish soldiers will be found in Varna, as it is evident from the arrangements made that an immediate advance of the whole force is intended. A general depot has been formed here, which may be taken as an undoubted symptom of a movement in advance, and in addition to that the position of the whole force shows clearly what is intended. The French who are here, to the number of about 50,000, are on the north of all, and form the right wing of our advance. With them, as with us, the Light Division, under General Canrobert, leads t ue Way, the other four divisions follow, moving ..uPoo two parall e l li ne s. With us the Light Division leads, the divisions of Evans and England form the right and centre, while the Ist division, of Guards and Highlanders, is on the left of all. Cavalry and artillery follow in the rear, with the ball cartridge brigade and supplies in the rear of all. By this ar rangement the whole army advances simultaneously in parallel lines, with a front which extends over 20 miles of ground. There seems little doubt that the army is bound for Silistria, in the neighbourhood of which, on the other side of the Danube the Russians remain in force. None here can foresee what the plan of the campaign is l ikely to be, as every movement, or intended movement, is preserved with impenetrable secresy until the moment for putting it in exeeution has arrived. All we know for certain is, that we are undoubtedly going forward, and, from the direction, we conjecture our destination to be Silistria. Where we shall cross the Danube, or W hen, are matters for speculation. Of course in the ab sence of any positive information regarding our future movement rumour is very busy. One time we hear that all the arrangements and details connected with our re moval back to England have been definitively made, and When a coup l e of hours ' c i rcu l at i on h as kill e d that lie, it revives in a new form, and instead of England our des tinarion is Odessa or Sebastopol. On Saturday evening and Sunday morning the camp at Alyden was quite dis turbed with a detailed and circumstantial account of the re-investment of Silistria by an overpowering force, and that Omer Pacha, baying been deceived by the retreat of the enemy, had left the place almost without a garri son. Now the rumours are all in favour of an armis tice having been concluded between us and the enemy for three months. This last absurdity has met with More credit than any of its predecessors. Cer tainly, if the Russians ever do mean to make peace now is their time. If once the armies meet the contest will be sanguinary • the English and French will b e e l a t e d °Y victory, and the Russians maddened by defeat, and from that time all hope of peace, all chance of seeing the termination of one of the most desolating wars which ever ra - ged in Europe, will be over. There is no news of interest from the fleet ; the greater part still remains at Baltchik. All the troops are now in very good health. Provisions of all kinds seem to get scarcer every day, and but that several good En and French stores have been established in this town, I don't know how we should have managed to get °n• The prices here would astonish economical house wives at home. Ten francs for a Dutch cheese, and 3. 6d. a-pound for bacon is the market price. I am almost afraid to say what is paid for tongues and such luxuries. Engli s h sa ddl ery, or indeed English leather, manu factured in an y way, commands its own price, It is a wonder no enterprising English tradesmen has not set up a miscellaneous store here before now. He would be certain to make a fortune in three months. THE BALTIC. The followi ng is from the Ti mes correspon d en t, dated Finland, July 10 : " My last advices, dated the 30th ult., apprised you of the main portion of the Anglo-French fleet having pro ceeded up the Gulf of Finland to within a few miles of the island of Cronstadt, the in-shore squadron of six Steamers being at anchor within three miles of the shore. "On the let inst., the Lightning, Captain Sullivan, conveyed such captains and commanders as chose to avail themselves of the opportunity to Tolboukin Lighthouse where they landed. This lighthouse is situate about two miles to the westward of the islet of Cronstadt. From its summit a good view of the enemy's ports was obtained, and of the po sition of their fleet at anchor, under protection Of the batt er i es . I n th e narrow channel leadinc , to the harbour, si x line-of-battle ships are moored head and stern. Inside these the remaining portion of the Cron stadt division of the fleet is at anchor. The strength of the fortifications is immense, and they appear to be per fectly impregnable by sea. "The Driver, Commander the Hon. A. A. Cochrane, proceeded on this date to Danzig with despatches from the Commander-in-Chief, for transmission overland to the English Government. A merchant steamer, carry ing the Rostock flag, arrived from England, freighted with provisions for the French division of the fleet. " Prior to the departure of the allied squadrons from /3aro Sound, a few fatal cases of cholera had occurred in the fleet. While at anchor off Cronstadt the disease extended itself to most of the ships, and several deaths occurred daily. The French screw line-of-battle ship Austerlitz suffered more than any other ship. The Duke of Wellington lost 15 of her crew ; other ships four or five, &c., in proportion to the number of those on board. Fresh cases occuring daily, it was deemed ad !isable to remove the fleet to a more open position in the Gulf of Finland, and the signal " prepare for sail ing to-morrow" was hoisted on board the flag-ship of the Commander-in-Chief. "On the morning of the 2d inst., the in-shore squad ron weighed in succession, followed by the rest of the fleet. By 10 a.m., the various ships had left Cronstadt roads, and most of them anchored in the evening 4 miles distant from the island of Seskar. The Imperieuse, 50, proceeded in a northerly direction, tak ing under her orders the Lightning, Magicienne, Bull deg, and Desperate. The Li g ht n i ng , M ag i c i enne, an d De sperate united with the m a i n b o dy o f th e fl ee t the next morning, the Imperieuse and Bulldog coming to ancho r o ff t h e northern side of the gulf. The Bazilisk, 6, ,Capt. th e H on. F . Egerton, joined company on the 4th, laden with live cattle, and a heavy mail for the fleet. In t he afternoon the Commander-in-Chief ordered by sig nal the various ships to be ready for sea the next morning. " At 4 a.m. of the sth steam was got up, and by ° km. the various ships were under weigh, proceeding at slow speed in a westerly direction, the English divi sion in two columns, the French division in one column. Topsails and courses were shifted by way of exercise, and a few evolutions performed. ooI" When abreast of the southern - side of the Island fogla.nd, o ne o f t h e crew of the Hogue fell over ard, and was drowned, although every possible effort was made to save him. A French man-of- War steamer came up with the fleet in the afternoon, and the merchant steamer Nicolai the First, of Leith, last from Elsinore deeply laden with pr o vi s i ons an d t t hres, and her upper deck compl e t e ly covere d f rom s t em o stern with live bullocks, vegetables, &e. A contract ha ving been entered into with the merchants of Danzig, a g o od supply o f li ve cattle is furnished weekly to every a hiP in the fleet, arid the issue of salt meat is seldom necessary. „ At 4 a.m. of the 6th the' combined squadrons were abreast off Sweaborg, to the westward of which Rear l'Admiral Corry, with the weather division of the fleet, i':,s,..ait. anchor. H ere the Commander-in-Chief, in his th e a ml 3 , parted company, standing in for Sweaborg, '1 A 41m pmt tens. and of th e fl eet d evolving pro on Rear- S O Chads, wh o was or d ered to proceed to Baro n A - n., where tale greater portion of the various ships anchored in the afternoon, followed by the Duke of Wellington and Rear-Admiral Corry's squadron. Admiral" The Duguesclin, flag-ship of the French Rear , when off the entrance of Baro Sound, got Rear on shore on the Warren Rock. The English and rencli steamers, the barges and pinnaces of the various repaired provided with anchors, hawsers, &c., immediately L ' e paired to her assistance. Her gins, provisions, stores, ' l ', co were removed, in order to lighten her.

CALAIS, Saturday Night.--The spectacle of a gallant and well-equipped army of Frenchmen em barking at a port of France on board an English fleet is as novel as it is grand. For the first time virtually since the Crusades the martial energies of the two great peoples of the West are united in an endeavour to effect in far off lands operations in which are profoundly con cerned the present and future interests, not merely of Europe, but of all humanity. But even that remote and imperfect parallel presents circum stances of prominent contrast to those which exist now. Philip Augustus and Coeur de Lion were actuated by mutual jealousies, distrusts, narrow personal rivalry, selfish, separate objects, marring the efforts of valour and the councils of sagacity. Such misunderstandings are happily non-existent now, when the forces of England and France are strenuously and heartily combined in the same cause. Contemplating the scene of to-day, a spectator would hardly fail to recal the time when this old historic town witnessed a meeting of English and French under circumstances very different—when the pleadings of his heroic queen, and the resolute remonstrances of his clergy, and appeals rising on all sides to every feeling of knightly generosity, scarcely prevailed on our renowned Edward to re frain from wreaking murderous vengeance on the brave burghers whose noble defence of their strong hold cost him and his army so dear. Nor would the thoughtful looker-on omit another reflection, that at a later period—some three centuries since —when amid profound humiliation and bitter hatred on one side, and exultant triumph and hatred not less intense on the other, the English, perforce, surrendered the last and long held rem nant of their conquests in France, the town, so much prized by a mistaken policy, and the loss of which hurried to the grave the first Mary, who said in her dying hour that if her body were opened the word Calais would be found engraved on a heart, of which softness was not the distinguishing characteris lie. Steam-boats and railways have transferred to Boulogne much of the importance which formerly belonged to Calais as the grand point of embarka tion and debarkation in the intercourse between England and France. Forty years' ago, when oars and stout canvas formed the sailor's only resource against baffling head-winds, and more baffling calms and currents, the difference of a few miles' sea passages was a consideration of importance in favour of Calais ; but the steam-packet cancelled this advantage, and the rail deprived the old town of nearly all the advantages of the " through" London and Paris traffic which the steamer had spared. During the greater part of this week the streets of the old borough have presented an aspect of live liness and bustle to which the inhabitants have long been unaccustomed. A considerable con course of visitors have been attracted from Paris, and the interior of France, as well as from the English side of the Straits ; and the expectation of the spirit-stirring event, about to take place, im parted an unusual air of gaiety to the port. The English fleet, consisting of the Hannibal (screw), 91, flag-ship of Commodore the Hon. F. W. Grey; the St. Vincent, 102, Captain Mansel ; the Algiers (screw) 91, Captain Talbot ; and the Royal William, 120, with the following screw frigates, Gladiator, Sphinx, Termagant, and Janus, arrived in Calais roads on Wednesday and Thurs day, and took up their moorings within two miles of the harbour, in positions appointed by Captain Smithett, late of her Majesty's service, who has just undertaken to assist in carrying out the opera tions of the present mail contract. Admiral Berke ley, on the part of the Lords of the Admiralty, very wisely availed himself of the local experience of Captain Smithett, and under their joint direc tions the anchorage of all the ships was avranged in the most satisfactory manner. As the public are aware, the present French expe dition to the Baltic is to consist of 10,000 men, with an artillery force; as the utmost economy of space, including the removal of all the guns from the lower decks, could not enable the ships enumerated to convey more than half that number, it be came necessary for the Admiralty to call into requisition the services of a number of hired trans port-ships. These included the Prince, screw steamer—a magnificent sister ship to the Himalaya, and engaged to convey 1,400 men—and several large sailing vessels, chiefly of the class of East Indiamen—amongst which were the Belgravia, the Herefordshire, the Fox, the Clifton, the Co lumbia, the Julia, and the Nimrod. The non arrival of these transports it was which had given rise to an impression that the embarkation would have to be deferred to the 20th instant ; but, on the Emperor ascertaining, in an interview with Commodore Grey, that the ships of war were all in readiness to take on board their complements of men, and that the transports might be expected in a very few days, his. Majesty thought there was no reason why the troops should not go on boaid at once, on which the commodore suggested that the arms, baggage, dsc., should be embarked on the following day (Friday), and the men on the next day (to -day). To this arrangement the Em peror at once assented, alludin g good-humouredly to the old British maritime superstition against commencing the operations of a voyage on a Friday. The Emperor arrived on Thursday evening from Boulogne, where his address to the troops had ex cited a degree of enthusiasm rarely equalled even amongst our susceptible allies. His Majesty en tered the town, dressed en bourgeois, and pro ceeded to the "Hotel Dessin." _ _ Shortly after the arrival of the Emperor, his Majesty was waited upon by Commodore Grey and the other captains of the English men-of-war. The Emperor received all the officers in the most cordial manner, and before they re ti re d hi s M a j es ty ex pressed his intention of honouring the Commodore with a visit, on board the flag-ship, on the follow ing day. The several regiments composing the two expe ditionary battalions, arrived in the neighbourhood of Calais, from the camp at Boulogne, on Wednes day and Thursday. On Friday morning, the Emperor made it his first duty to inspect the troops. His Majesty, mounted on a beautiful chesnut charger, accompanied by Marshal Vaillant, Minister of War, General Baraguay commanding officer of the expedition, and a bril liant staff, rode from his hotel to the encampment of the battalion of Chasseurs de Vincennes. Having inspected this division, the Emperor proceeded to the encampment on the ramparts. His Majesty was everywhere greeted with enthusiastic demonstra tions not only from the military, but also from the numerous French and English spectators who were present. Before leaving the encampment the Em peror conferred ou the troops a substantial token of his regard, by directing that every sergeant should receive a newly-struck five-franc piece, every corporal a two-franc piece, and every private sol dier a franc. The Imperial progress back to the Hotel Dessin was marked by equally vivid mani festations of popular attachment—the gaiety of the scene being enhanced by the tasteful decorations which were everywhere displayed from the private houses and public buildings. At half-past one o'clock the Emperor again left his hotel, and entering one of the Imperial car riages, drove to the quay, alongside of which was moored La Reine Hortense, his Majesty's private steam yacht, on board of which, accompanied by the members of his suite, the Emperor embarked in order to pay his promised visit to the flag-ship. After a short cruise outside the harbour, the Im perial yacht having neared the Hannibal, his Majesty and attendants descended into the yacht's barge, for the purpose of being rowed under the flag-ship's lee ; but a stiff breeze prevailing, the force of the current rendered this a somewhat diffi cult operation. Even with pulls " long and strong" the rowers made but little way, and it became necessary to invoke the aid of the Corse, French revenue steam cutter, which presently took the barge in tow, and, no t w ith ou t diffi cu lt y , placed her alongside the Hannibal. Here prepara tions had been made for receiving the Emperor with the honours duo to his position. The midshipmen lined the gangway, and Com modore Grey, with the other principal officers of the ship, were in waiting. The Emperor, whose personal activity is well known, mounted on board with ease and prompt ness. Not so Marshal Vaillant. Essaying to grasp the gangway ropes, the swaying and heaving of the boat became so violent that the gallant marshal plumped fairly into the water, beneath the surface of which lie almost sunk. Much alarm was, of course, excited. It was, however, only momentary. Capt. Excelmans, commander of La Reine Hortense, and a near relative of the celebrated soldier of the empire, came immediately to the rescue, and, aided by Mr. Somerville, a midshipman of the Hannibal, who succeeded in grasping the marshal firmly by the skirt of his coat, the latter was soon placed in a position of safety, sustaining, it is to be hoped, no damage beyond that of temporary inconvenience. As the Emperor stepped on deck, an Imperial salute thundered from the iron sides of every ship in the squadron. His Majesty devoted an hour to the inspection of the arrangements made for the comfort and accommodation of his soldiers, and ex pressed his approval in warm and emphatic terms. Continuing his tour of inspection, the Emperor passed in review the other ships in the squadron, and returned highly gratified with the true sailors' welcome which he had received from the officers and men of the squadron. As the Imperial yacht again neared the shore, the Emperor had the gratification of witnessing the entrance into Calais roads of the Tilsit—a magnifi cent new three decker, launched only a few months since at Cherbourg, and which had arrived to bear her part in the conveyance of the artillery belong ing to the expedition. This ship was attended by the steam corvette La Place. During Friday, the troops marched down from their respective encampments to the quay side, where, according to previous arrangements, they deposited their arms and accoutrements in boxes, which were at once conveyed on board the ships of war hymnal' vessels engaged for that service. Large quantities of ammunition and powder were also em barked by the same means. At a very early hour this morning the troops were astir, breaking up their encampment and pre ' paring to go on board. General Baraguay d'Hil liers came down to the quay before eight o'clock, and conversed for some time with Captain Lefebre, R.N., of her Majesty's steamer Dasher, to whom the arrangements for embarking the troops, by means of a fleet of steamers, had been entrusted. Among the vessels employed on this service were the Garland and Violet, belonging to the mail packet service ; the Princess Clementine and the Princess Helena, of the South-Eastern and Conti nental steam fleet ; the Faun and the Passe-partout, French mail boats ' • the Cocyte and the Corse, French steam-corv e tt es ; and the following vessels belonging to her Britannic Majesty :—the Fearless, the Wildfire, the Lizard, the Adder, the Sprightly, the Fire Queen, the Avon, the Dasher, the Luci fer, and the Echo and the Douro steam-tug. This large fleet of steam-ships had been engaged, with the object of precluding delay and confusion, and of effecting the embarkation in one comprehensive movement. Owing to the tide not answering until mid-day, it was nearly Iko'clock before the actual embarka- tion commenced. The cheerful and agile manner in which the men stepped on board exhibited to great advantage that buoyancy of character by which our allies are distinguished. The force is divided into two brigades, under the respective commands of General }fugues and Gene ral Gresy. The first brigade consists of the 12th battalion of Chasseurs b, pied, the 2d Regiment of Light Infantry, and the 3d Regiment of the line. The second brigade is composed of the 48th and, 51st Regiment of the line, each regiment number ing nearly 2,060 men. One circumstance connected with the order of march observed to-day may be worthy notice, now that the different systems pursued by the English and French armies are likely to be practically test ed ; the men carry their own tents. On striking camp, each man took his section of the canvas which had composed his shelter for the night. Each tent is adapted for the accommodation of six men, and is divided into six sections, of which each man carries one. Including this additional weight, each kit weighs rather under 401bs. It was half an hour past noon before the Lizard —the leading vessel—steamed out of harbour, her deck crowded with a thronging mass of animated and hopeful countenances. In consequence of ar rangements made to prevent confusion during the embarkation, the pier heads were not so crowded as might have been expected. The comparative absence of "demonstration" occasioned by this restriction was amply made up by the perfect up roar of cheering and acclamation which proceeded from the troops themselves as the successive vessels steamed towards the war ships. The process of embarking the troops, and finally transferringthem to their respective ships, occupied the whole of the afternoon, and was conducted throughout without the slightest accident. Admiral Berkeley and Captain Milne, Lords of the Admiralty, were present, and more than once made the circuit of the fleet in the Ondine mail packet ship, which had been retained for the espe cial service of the Commodore. These officers, after the discharge of their duties, returned to Dover, in her Majesty's steam packet Vivid, on board of whir_th w,as Lady Graham, wife of the First Lord of the Admiralty. It is fully expected that the fleet will have sailed within a few hours. In addition to the Tilsit, the following French ships will accompany the English squadron :—The St. Louis, towed by Asmodee ; Syrene, by Labo rieux ; Cleopatre, by Goeland ; and the Fulton to take the horses of the staff. Lord Ashley, son and heir of the Earl of Shaftes bury, is a passenger in the Hannibal, on his way to the Baltic to join the James Watt. This youth ful nobleman had arrived only three days ago from the Mediterranean, when, at his own request, he was again appointed to active service. The Earl of Shaftesbury came down from London this morn ing to take leave of his gallant son, and returned to town this evening. The Moniteur of yesterday morning contains a decree granting an extraordinary credit of 55,405,000 f. to the Imperial Minister of Marine, for the purpose of increasing the naval armaments of France. The budget of this Ministei for 1854 is thus raised to 174,286,000 f., which is, however, only 1 6,000,000 f. more than 1847. Several of the persons arrested in Paris, on the 12th and 13th inst., on the supposition that they intended to make a demonstration on the anniver sary of the taking of the Bastille, have been set at liberty. The w preparations for the fete of the 15th of August will be very brilliant. They have already commenced. The new Imperial G uard will be reviewed on that day for the first time. ALGERIA. The French Government has received a long re port from the Governor-General of Algeria, giving an account of an attack made upon the Beni- Hidgers, a powerful tribe, having 1,200 muskets, and who had with them in this affair some other tribes. The French troops met with a desperate resistance, and were, fram the nature of the ground occupied by the enemy, obliged to act with great caution ; but they are stated to have been success ful, and to have killed 80 of the enemy. The loss on the French side in killed was 5 soldiers, and 53 were wounded, among whom were three officers. In a subsequent affair the Kabyles were defeated, but the French had a captain and three men killed and 40 wounded. After these two actions several of the tribes offered their submission. SPAIN. According to advices from Madrid of the 12 . th, the column under the Minister of War had arrived at Valdepenas, in hot pursuit of the insurgents, who were retiring on Despenaperros. The division from the north, under the command of General Turon, had reached Madrid, and was to leave the day after to join the Minister of War. The insurgent forces consisted, it was said, of 3,000 foot, 2,000 horse, and 40 artillerymen. The Three per Cents, were done at 36 ; the New Three per Cents, at 18 95 ; the Debt of the First Class at 9 40 ; and that of the Second at 4 75. ITALY. Letters from Rome, of the 10th inst., state that a quarantine of five days has been estab lished in the Roman States for all persons arriving by sea from France. The utmost alarm prevails in Rome in consequence of the reports brought of the ravages of the cholera in France, but no case has occ u r re d, e i t h er i n Rome itself or in the provinces. The corn harvest has completely terminated in the Ager Romanus, and the p ro d uce i s exce ll en t. In the provinc es the result is equally satisfactory. The vineyards are promising. The Pope had not yet gone from the Vatican to his usual summer residence, the Quirinal. EGYPT. ALEXANDRIA, JULY 7.

There is no trace of either of the murderers. For the latter, an Englishman was arrested, but has since been set at liberty. The extent of his con nection with the murder was being in a state of in toxication that afternoon. The Jasper steamer, in attempting to make the port without a pilot, ran upon the rocks, but the waves carried her over them, and she is safe in port, with considerable damage to hull and the loss of one of her crew. The Nile has risen 18 inches. The Oriental ar rived at Suez on the sth inst., but brings no China mail, the China packet not having arrived. The Ripon leaves for England to - day , carrying the female hippopotamus presented to the Regent's.. park Zoological Gardens by his Highness the Viceroy. The upward tendency in freights mentioned in our last has hardly been realised, and freights are likely to continue low. The money market exhi bits great tightness, and the exchange has fallen to 98.

RECENT DOINGS AND COMING EVENTS. I never " assisted" at a duller or less interesting meeting than that celebrated at Aintree last week. The racing, in almost every instance, was devoid of im portance, and so limited was speculation, that the most 8 . industrious b oo k- ma k er, work how he would; was unable to "get round." People, too, indulged their P.-- fault-finding propensities on every occasion, the short comings in the supply of sport were undoubtedly suf- St , ficient to justify th e i r grumbling, but the management 20 also came in for its share of abuse. High dudgeon was expressed a t th e manner in which Mr. Topham seemed 5013 i to "play i n t o th e hands of the innkeepers, " whose interest, it was alleged, he studied more than the 31 accommodation of the real supporters of the meeting. The principal cause of complaint was the late hour at 27i which the proceedings commenced each day, and the crowding of so many items into Friday's programme, as 22 to prevent persons who wished to "see' the racing out" 25 from leaving Liverpool by the afternoon express train. The sporting p u bli c h ave been so accustomed to receive St.st every attention f rom M r. Topham, that the slightest 5o neglect, either real or imaginery, renders them impatient 50 and dissatisfied. 20 The unexpected result of the Cup race was the only 20 favourable " turn" which the fielders have had for 10 many weeks. Perhaps few people were more sur 50 - prised at the success of Ammonia than her owner, 25 who had not the slightest confidence in the mare, albeit I heard him decl are en route to Aintree that " she was 25 very well, and that i n pr i vate she could run as fast as 25 18 anything • but that i n pu b lic she was a dreadful beast, 20 and would not try to run a yard." This reputation fit. Ammonia undoubtedly deserved, but her recent achieve ment is likely to destroy it. The supporters of Typee St. were not far out in their calculations, and they were not 25 a little chagrined to see her defeated by what in turf St. parlance is called a " regular duffer." Kingston's party , B ,t s • were in terrible ear nes t, an d , having secured the services it' of Alfred Day, th e y d eeme d success a certainty. Again, St. 10 however, were they di sa p po i nted. Dr. O ' Toole figured St. somewhat ingloriously, after the great fuss that had St. been made about hi m . It i s said that before the Chester st. Meeting he was tried with The H erm it, an d on l y b eaten St, a head. The Doctor's running, however, if correct, cer- St. tainly gives the lie to this report. The "use," however, St. that was made of him in the race at Liverpool was un- 12 questionably injudicious. Hutigerford's performance 50 caused considerable surprise, and Talfourd did not even 1 . - S show respect a bly i n th e encounter. The "sensation" crea t e d b y t h e success of Ammonia St,l9, was sustained by the defeat of Dirk Hatteraick on Fri- 14 day. Attempts are made to explain why this horse's 50 performance is so inconsistent with his boasted preten- 20 sions, and it is said that he will " see a better day." His 11i trainer's triumphs with the Flying Dutchman, Elthiron, 10 and other turf celebrities, are, however, not likely, in St. nay opinion, to be renewed with Dirk Hatteraick, Still, St. a finer or bett er ma d e horse, perhaps, was never saddled ; 20 his blood, too, is unexceptionable. Report, however, 110 2i was so busy with hi m t h at I am inclined to entertain a St. prejudice against him. When trainers really have a 50 good horse they ar e se ld om d es i rous that the public 40 should be acquainted with the fact too early. Every- 25 body, however, for months past has known what "a Bur- 25 prising animal Dirk Hatterai c k i s ." E verybody, too, St. knew " what a surprising animal Lightfoot was.' Dirk 812 s even another Bribery. St Hatteraick may not, however, be an o th er Lightfoot, or St. The racing appointments this week are four—Newton, Tuesday and Wednesday ; Stamford, Tuesday and Wednesday ; Isle of Sheppy, Wednesday ; and Not tingham, Thursday and Friday. I will briefly sum up the probable results, confining my remarks to the prin cipal item on each list. The Newton programme con tains ten events. To the Newton Handicap there are fourteen subscribers, Patience and Knight of St. George figuring favourably among the animals weighted. Ex citement may follow up her recent success at Aintree by winning the Golbo rne St a k es . Little information is to be obtained respecting the intended competitors for the Handicap Plate. lam therefore unable to express a de finite opinion as to the probable results of those races. For the 70 Sovs. Plate, the " lot" which is likely to comprise the winner consists of Snowden Dunhill, Eulo gist, Index, Battery, and Lady Bird. The Plate of 50 Sovs., Golborne Course, numbers upwards of thirty no minations, from which I select Leybourne, Nelly Hill, Yewtik, and Donald, to furnish the winner. Lough Bawn, Jacqueline, and Cleveland seem " well in" in the Gold Cup. The running for these handicaps will, how ever, be regulated so materially by the result of the pre ceding races, that it w ill b e hazardous t o h ave any deal ings with them until the telegraph board indicate the starters. sous.,the Kte The sport a t St amford is likely to be somewhat scanty. Rackapelt an d C ock Pheasant are my " fancies" for the Burghley St a k es, F lorist for the Han di cap Plate of 50 Pheasant ete an s d tak l e le e x . for the the Gwoaldy Stroud, ed, and pevish., ma Cock for a two-year-old, of whom report speaks favourably, is among the nominations for a sweepstakes to be run for to-morrow. Whether he will start, however, is at pre sent doubtful. My " Notes on Nottingham" I shall reserve until Wednesday. July 17. A FRESH MAN. 5O st. THE RECORDER OF HULL. We cannot allow our record of the proceedings at the recent Borough S ess i ons t o appear w i t h out a brief remark upon the trial which concluded the very heavy criminal business of the court. The last of the culprits e same ee whom rimtpoti dp impudent was no t tnoau e nni t e h pain f ul sentence incorrigible duty w alls thel oe offenderb ur oy e ea e gw r an who ino ß ta hs e et - October was paraded as a sort of juvenile martyr to Mr. Warren's. inhumanity. We have never yet been able to understand the real motives of the infamous attack which was then made upon the Recorder, under cover of a sym pathetic feeling for the fate of a four-times convicted felon ; nor have we ever succeeded in satisfactorily accounting for the Home Secretary's extraordinary and mischievous interference in the matter. But it is of little consequen ce now w h ether the attack had its origin in personal malignity or party spite, or whether . Lord Palmerst on ' s a b rupt intervention is attributable to igno rance, or to a less creditable cause. In any case the result is the same. Mr. Warren's calumniators are covered with disgrace ; their unhappy protege is con demned to four years' deserved penal servitude ; and the judge, whose sagacity they sought to discredit, and whose humanity they openly impeached, is proved, by the mere force of events, to have acted with a prescient wisdom, which, while it is one of the most precious of judicial attributes, lies at the very root of all true mercy. No one can fail to see that the Recorder has been placed in a position of extreme delicacy and difficulty ; and all who were present in the crowded and breathless court on Monday last, or who read our report of the observa tions then addressed to the boy who has been the victim of so much sham-philanthropy, will admit that Mr. War• ren has deported himself throughout with an ability worthy of his reputation and a dignity becoming his high office. —Hull Packet. In another part of the same journal (the Hull Packet) we observe the subjoined paragraph under the head of local intelligence :—" The Recorder, Samuel Warren, Esq., Q.C., D.C.L., v i s i ted the gaol of the borough on Sunday last, in accordance with his usual custom, and spoke in a kindly manner to many of the culprits incar cerated therein." [Let us hope that with this we have now heard the last of a very scandalous and most disgraceful attack upon a man of distingui s h e d reputation. Iu the malig nity of his assailants, Mr. Warren has tasted the bitter ness of misrepresentation. Prom the honest judgment of an unenv!ous public, he has at length derived the sweets of . fair. play .and complete appreciation. This painful episode in his career as an administrator of the laws of his country we c annot but r egar d as a tr ib u t e t o his popularity—the tribute, it may be, of jealousy and disappointment—unhappily th e b y no means unfrequent penalty for any brilliant success at the bar and in litera ture.—ED. SUN.] MIRACULOUS ESCAPE ON TIM RIVER.--The various persons travelling by the different steam-boats near accident, eas, and was instantly excitedSouthwark in consequenceßri g e NVe r o e f theyesterday following afternoon ng had it not been for the intrepid conduct of two of the caused by some a a te c r e md accidentally vinyof painfully firemen of the London Brigade and a ge v : which, iu all probability, have terminated fatally. It appears overboard l into t b t w e e I R Y v e years b a o m f l passing steam-boats, some distance into the river, carried by ,the swell of the water and was kicking and plunging most desperately, until he sank under the surface of the Water. At that instant a waterman, in his prize outrigger, rowed to his assistance, and seized hold of the hair of his head just as he was sinking for the second time. IT however, knew that if he attempted to pull the boy into his boat it would overturn, and that both he and the lad might be drowned. He therefore called loudly for help, when Joseph Gerrard, the engineer Of the steam-floating engine, and his brother George, jumped into the boat belonging to the float, rowed to the spot, and fortunately succeeded in pulling the lad into their craft. He was then found to be in an insensible state, and it was feared that lie could not recover. lie was forthwith removed to the Welsh Trooper, Bankside, where he was placed in a hot bath, and, under the directions of two medical gentlemen who attended, the lad, after some considerable time, was so far restored as to be able to be put to bed in hot blankets, furnished by the landlord of the house. The present makes the sixth life that the firemen a t t h e floating engine have saved. HEALTH OF THE BRITISH ARMY IN TURICEY—WO have received letters from Varna, dated the 23d and 27th June. On the latter date the force at Varna, was 30,000 stronz, and an advanced light division, about 20 miles from Varna, was nearly 7,000 strong, independ ent of cavalry. The sick of the main body and of the advanced division did not amount to 3 per cent. of the strength. In spite of some inconveniences they are well cared for, and want for nothing. One case of spasmodic cholera had occurred, but there had been none since the 20th. Diarrhoea had prevailed to a considerable extent, but bad ceased after the site of the encampment had been altered, and warm tea and coffee had been issued as morning meals for the soldiers. The medical officers complain of the bad effects of the wine of the country, and speak highly of the excellent results of the supply of English porter, expressing hopes that it may be obtained in sufficient quantities to supersede the use of wine entirely. —Medical Times and Gazette. BURIALS BEYOND THE METROPOLIS.—On Saturday the bill of Lord Palmerston was issued to make further provision for the burial of the dead beyond the metro polis. Town councils may be vested with powers for providing burial grounds, and the expenses may be made of the rates.

MINES. 44 21 30 4d MARKET NEWS-(THIS DAY). CORN EXCHANGE. Most of the provincial markets held on Saturday were rather scantily supplied with wheat, yet the demand ruled heavy, and prices had a downward tendency. Barley and malt commanded very little attention. Oats, beans, peas, and flour were the turn in favour of buyers. Advices from New York to the 4th inst. state that float was in improved request, and rather dearer. Grain, how• ever, was dull in sale. Most of the continental markets have continued inactive. The arrivals of English grain up to our market last week. were limited. The imports from abroad amounted to 28,293 quarters of wheat, 7,334 barley, 28,144 oats, 500 beans, 147 peas, 1,247 linseed, 84 sundry seeds, 1,805 sacks and 4,883 barrels of ftour. Fresh up to our market, to-day, the arrivals of wheat, coastwise from Essex and Kent, were on a very limited scale, and the receipts from other quarters w ere t r ifli ng. By land carriage, scarcely any supply reached us; how ever, the show of samples of both red and white was small. Although there were several country buyers in attendance, the demand for all kinds of wheat of home produce was excessively heavy, at a decline in the prices of Monday last of from is to fully 2s per quarter. For forward delivery, next to nothing was doing, al. though there were offers at 3s per quarter leas money. We were heavily su p p li e d w ith f ore i gn wheat. Millers, generally, purchased for immediate wants, and no progress could be made in sales except at a decline of from la. to 2s. per quarter, compared with this day se'nnight. All floating cargoes were dull, and lower to purchase. Barb'', the supply of which was good, moved off heavily, and prices had a downward tendency. We had a very dull sale for malt, the prices of which were rather in favour of buyers. The show of oats was extensive. - G-ood sound corn mil* lizei previous rates, but inferior parcels were 6d. per quarter lower. There was a fair sale for beans, at very full currencies. We had very little doing in peas, on lower terms. There was a dull sale for flour, and the quotations ruled somewhat easier than on Monday last. • CURRENCY PER impragier, mustria Wheat—Essex & Kent, Malt—Chevalier .• •• 7bs to Red .... new 69e to 81a !Oats Yorkshire and Ditto.. old 713 833 Lineolnak.,Feed 381 Ditto, 'White new 72s 848 Potato ...... ..•• MI Ditt0...... old 746 36s Yonghal aad Cork Norfolk and Lin- 81aek....... iff Coln, Red, old 69s '798 Cork, White.... 285 SO Ditto new ~.• 69s 79s So o t o h, Feed..... 388 368 e —Old •• • . 518 523 B New sane—Tiek .....•• tts 5241 •• •• itarle • •• •• 50s 518 Pigeons ...... 47s kW Malting 32 a 38s Pea5—(i11y.......... 44s 4841 Chevalier.... s —s 46s 518 ... --s Malt—Saffolk and Nor- White........... 54s 608 . folk.• •••••• •• • Boilers •.... .. 668 6041 • 66s 71s Flour—Town -made... 63 s 65 8 Brown ••••••••• • • • • • • 60m 628 Suffolk •• .• .• 52a 66i HingetonandWare 738 75s Btooktn &Norfolk 505 688 SMITHFIELD.

The arrivals of beasts fresh up from the northern grazing districts were seasonably large, and of full average quality. Notwithstanding that the attendance of buyers was good, the beef trade was in a depressed state, at a decline in the prices obtained on Monday last of 2d per Sibs. In some instances, the quotations gave way 4d per 81bs, and a total clearance was not effected. The extreme value of the best Scots was 4s 10d per 81bs. From Lincolnshire, Leices tershire, and Northamptonshire, we received 2,200 short horns; from other parts of England, 800 of variona breeds; and from Scotland, 160 horned and polled Scots. We were rather heavily supplied with sheep, which, for the most part, came to hand in good condition. A few prime old Downs and of the best half•breds realised last week's currency; but all other breeds of sheep were very dull, and 2d per 81bs lower than on this day eel:might. The supply of lambs was good. All breeds moved off heavily, and prices gave way quite 2d per Sibs. The ex treme top quotation was 5s 8d per Ms. Prime small calves were scarce, and held on former terms. Inferior calves, the show of which , was large ; were very dull, and quite 2d per 81bs lower.
