They have succeeded in all they have attempted by fore: ; tbey have failed in all they sought by diplomacy. OMER PACHA and the SULTAN, long held back by our representative at Constantinople, succeeded at once as soon as they trusted their own counsels and the bravery of their troops ; Kalafat, Citate, many a small skirmish, and the crowning unparalleled feat of skill and valour at Sil'stria, followed in quick suc cession ; and the succes3 of the policy of force is now to be seen in decimated Russian regiments evacuating in disgrace the provinces they were to "hold" as a material guarantee, and in the Turkish victors pressing hard upon their recreant backs. So much for the Danube and the pro vinces. Then at sea ; every fort attacked or threatened on the Circassian coast has been evacuated or destroyed ; Odessa was chastised, so far as the commanders conceived would please home authorities, quite successfully, but not suf ficiently, alas, to disenahle it from firing red hot balls into a stranded ship ; and the mighty Sebas topol has . been converted into a coop for the quaking three-deckers, at least to the full extent to which our commanders have thought fit, for we cannot forget the Vladimir, and the reported con veyance of military stores from the mouth of the Bug to- the great fortress. Russian trade also on the Euxine is at an end, just as far as force is put in requisition. The tale is just the same in the Baltic. All trade is - stopped there, and force reigns triumphant as far as it is put forth ; the lamentable little affair at Gamla Karleby is no proper exception. That was the venture of a light-armed boat's crew, where we ought to have had a heavy armed but light draught gun-boat or two, with rifle-proof bulwarks, before which the sharp-shooters and field artillerymen that port would soon have imitated their com rades on the Danube. And even against the long talked-of impregnable granite and casemates, force has sustained its successful character. Oh ! the snubs and sneers long vouchsafed to those who would not be silenced in avowing their unhesitat ing conviction—their knowledge, that no granite could stand the fire of our guns, much less of the rapid and concentrated fire of the Duke of Wel ligton'•,s broadside. What ! we know more of gunnery than Admiral CHAIM and his telescope, which, and not his guns, he thought it most wise to point at the " one mass of granite." The scoffers may now suspect, if they will, that there are other gunners as good as the gallant Admiral, and that journalists have free access to better opi nions than thosefound "behind their desk" merely. Yes ; Bomaraund has, luckily, compelled the sonorous lecturers of " the rash" to adopt silently the rash counsels, and to say as little as possible about their own. The Allies in the Baltic have been adequate to all they have attempted by force. But their diplomacy What a picture ! There is literally nothing endurable in it but the admir able replies of DnOUYN DE L'HUYS to Russian misrepresentation and lies. It has been weak, trimming, and useless, from begi nn i ng t o eud. First treatin g the wOuld-be territorial felon, of the SEYMOUR correspondence—tbe man who would have made a co-felon of England —as an h ones t man and a gentle man ; then Vienna Conferences ne xt consenting to conti nue negotiation s , even after their miserable diplomacy had suffered the passage of the Pruth. We hardly know o f any case in which two such Powers as Pra nce and England ever appeared smaller than in submitting to the wheedling and shuffling of A us t r i a and Prussia on behalf of their brother despot. The Vienna Note, too ! May it never be forgotten f or two such Governments to be caught in such a trap, and to bp half reluctantly jerked out of i t by Turkish good sense and foresight. Our readers will not desire to follow the intolerable details of the correspondence and conferences with Czar, Emperor, and King, till the war was de clared, and after it was declared, with the two latter worthies;--the grand result is enough ; it is twofold. The King of PRITssrA acting the kind brother-in-law to the barbarian husband of his sister, practically declaring against us, and feeding the CZAR'S Exchequer, and ren dering half futile our blockade of the Baltic ports, by giving free passage fcr our enemy's goods and our own mercantile smugglers. On the other hand, Austria, after paralysing one action by empty parleying, intended to gain time for Russia, still refuses to join in the war, still con tinues in correspondence w ith our enemy, ' still finds, and will find to the end, pretexts for doing nothing herself, but gulls the Allies (w e use the word advisedly) by the most transparently deceit ful offers, to require of the SULTAN an invitation / to occupy the evacuated provinces The SULTAN I shrunk from their odious proposition, as he did from their Vienna Note, but he was obliged to ask the hated Austria to enter to preserve order. Order ! What disorder on earth was there, or had there been save the brutal ravaging and ravislling, and robbing, by the defeated Russians ? They gone, disorder was gone too. Austria, too, to preserve order ; the order of provoking revolu tions by intolerable tyranny and quelling them in blood. She has shown, however, what she wanted —first, and chiefly, to expel refugees ; next, to feed her army on another country's harvests ; then to stand in the place of final arbitrater be tween Russia and the Allies if the latter pressed the vanquished savage harder than was conveni ent for one who might need his savagery in Hun gary again. A capital move for Austria to be able to say, " Now, if you will not grant Russia better terms than you like, why get me out of the material guarantee if you can." Any result of diplomacy more hateful than the pro vinces reconquered and liberated by Ottoman valour, now grasped by the fellow-officers of HAYNAU, and that without a battle, and enslaved beneath the "orderly" police of Austria, we can hardly conceive. Prussia openly helping the CZAR, Austria qualifying herself to settle the terms of peace in his favour when our troops and ships shall have conquered it—this, and nothing else, is the result of allied diplomacy. .Ah and it was diplomacy too which sacrificed those noble crews at Sinope. TN) weakest reliance on vague en gagements or understanding with an already con victed liar and plunderer, this it was which kept our ships far from Sebastopol, while cunning and violence were watching their oppor tunity. But for diplomacy we should have had no passage of the Pruth at all ; no Sinope after it was passdd—no delay in sending the fleets and troops—no lingering of either at one place and another, instead 'of proceeding at once to the scene of action. But for diplomacy at this moment Sebastopol would have been ours, and the cowardly three-deckers at the bottom of its harbour. Diplo macy we may thank for its increased garrison, for its extended land-works, and for men sufficient lost by the cholera to have blown the whole works to atoms. But we have done. If our Cabinet can look back and witness the disgrace which must accrue to it through all history, for its timid negotiations with the Despot and his two hangers on ;—and look around and see how everywhere each bold step has brought its share of honour—if it can behold the double result and hesitate a moment longer, it deserves to be ejected from the nation's councils, and to be ranked with the Cabinet's of JAMES 1. or CHARLES 11. We hope, however, better things. The season is not quite gone ; Englishmen are very forgiving ; and, with a bountiful harvest to pay their taxes, they will, perhaps too readily, forget the past, if the immediate future be what it should. Wha% is a traveller The question so fre quently put must again be repeated —so loudly, too, as if possible, to penetrate the recesses of Downing-street, and elicit from the law officers of the Crown a satisfactory reply. As might easily be imagined, the "great unpaid " are sticking out fur the rigorous interpretation of the act, and rendering its provisions, sufficiently vexatious under the most favourable circum stances, even more annoying than they might otherwise prove. If the object were to render the law intolerable, and to excite such universal dis gust, that it must inevitably be repealed at the very commencement of next session, we could understand some of the decisions that have been given. Bat, strange to say, it is those who profess to believe that its results will really prove beneficial to the country who are thus striving to bring about its repeal; and, still more strange, not one of them has ventured to offer any reasons for the decisions which they have given, in direct opposition to the opinions of the more enlightened Magistrates of the metropolis—men who had acquired professional experience, and were, therefore, competent to determine legal questions. The Bench of Magistrates at Chelmsford had heretofore decided most erroneously, that although the passengers by a railway train might be "tra vellers" within the meaning of the act, the engine drivers and stokers—men who were compelled to " travel" in discharge of their business, could not be considered in. that light. The pleasure-seekers might obtain refreshment, but those whose occu pations were necessary to the public welfare-- whose exhaustion or over-fatigue through the lack of that needful support might be productive of very injurious, and possibly fatal consequences, should be precluded from receiving even a glass of beer ! ! The reputation (1) for stolid disregard of the law, thus acquired by the Essex Magistrates, has, however, been eclipsed by a Bench of Lanca shire Justices, sitting at Salford, the spokes man whereof was a certain Mr. H. L. TRAFFORD, who appears to have evinced a more profound ignorance of the com monest principles of law than any even of his brother DOGBERRYS, and who was apparently most desirous of being " written down an ass " and as " serenely unconscious" of his true posi tion, as the gentleman described in i" The Lily and the Bee." Mr. TRAFFORD seemed to forget that he was not a Legislator, that his business was to enforce existing laws, and not to make new ones. He clearly considered himself " a wise fellow—and, which is more, an officer ; and, which is more, a householder ; and which is more as pretty a piece of flesh as any in Messina (query, Manchester ?) And one that knows the law, go to ; and a rich fellow enough, go to ; and a fellow that hath had losses ; and one that bath two gowns, and everything hand some about him." His opinion, therefore, seems not so very surprising, that the question wag, not what was the law, but how thc magistrates should assist certain memorialists who had petitioned against " crowds of rough and disorderly people come from Manchester and elsewhere ; stalls and booths put up in the village ; buying and selling openlyand effronterily (sic in origine) carried on ; tossing, and other modes of disposing of cakes, &c., by chance, resorted to ; parties with wheelbarrows going up and down the village selling nuts, &c., and cries of `toss or buy' (where was the promising offspring of SAIREY GAUP with the proceeds of the wooden leg ?) and other such expressions grating upon the ears." But with all submission to his worship, tlie point was, whether the parties who were receiving refreshment were " travellers," and not whether there were in the village " roughs from Man chester going up and down with wheelbarrows selling nuts, &c., and crying toss or buy " If these scenes were considered disgraceful, they should be suppressed by the punishment of the really guilty parties, and not of an innocent inn keeper, who had merely afforded refreshment to par- es, " none of whom were known who lived in the village of Eccles, but some of whom came from Salford, four miles distant," and which he might be indicted for refusing. Mr. TRAFFORD, however, elicited that the parties charged had actually signed this very memorial. We certainly cannot perceive the per tinency of the question to the charge. But the admission seemed quite conclusive to Mr. TRAF FORD, who apparently considers it " flat burglary as ever was committed !" which warranted the condemnation of the defendants "into everlasting redemption." But, in sober sadness, it is reallytime that some instructions should be issued, to prevent such un reasonable and vexatious trouble to innkeepers. Justices should be informed that they are not to convict persons on the assumption that persons not known in the neighbourhood are not " travel lers." The presumption, is that where s t rangers ar e assembled, they are " travellers." There must a be a prima facie case est a bli s h ed to war rat being called on f or a defence. ll man's Th e sagacious Mr. TRAFFORD asserts that "if a man be proved to have committed an offence, it would lie judge with ! 0 him ge to prove a negative." " 0 learned excellent young man !" W e must, however, ven ture to differ from this moder n d offence must be proved—not assumed. It is easy, D AN IEL, and to disp ute his conclusions. Th e if such be the fact, to show that some one or more of the parties flaw-- reakies in, the vicinity, If ' such be the case, there is presumptive evidence sufficient to convict the defendant, unless he show clearly that i t is an exceptional case, and that the party has been actually " travelling." But, otherwise, where they are really and bond fide strangers, the presumption is in his favour, and it lies with the prosecutors to establish their case by positive evi dence. We do not regret Mr. TRAFFORD'S decision, erroneous as it undoubtedly is. It is by such undue straining of the law that the disgust of the people will be excited, and that the voice of public opinion will all but unanimously demand its repeal. BRAZILS AND RIVER PLATE (BY MAGNETIC TELEGRAPH.) (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) LIVERPOOL, SATURDAY. The South American and General Steam Navi gation Companies' ship Bahiana, arrived in the river this morning. She has brought besides the mails 42 passengers, 43,0001. in specie on freight, besides diamonds. She left Rio on the 9th August, Bahia, the 15th; Madeira, on the 30th.

THE DUKE OF ATHOL'S GOLD-DIGGINGS.—During the last week gold has been found in the north of Glenbre rachan, Kirkmichael, on the property of his Grace the Duke of Athol ; and has also been found to the north of the Cairnwell, on the property of James Farquharson, Esq., of .Invercauld. In both places the precious metal is found embedded in the detached piecep of rock which there abound. From an analysis made, that which has been found near the Cairnwell is as pure as any got in Australia. The existence of gold in these quarters was discovered by a Mr. Lowden, a gentleman lately re turned from Australia, where he had been resident for upwards of 12 years, and in. the immediate vicinity of gold-diggings. RU AT ST. PETERSBURG.—In the afternoon of Friday, August 25, a fire broke out in St. Petersburg, in the neighbourhood of the barracks occupied by the Izmailowski Regiment of Guards, which consumed close upon 100 houses, 21 of which were of stone. DEATH FROM A THRESHING MACHINE.—On Thursday, about a quarter before seven o'clock a.m., a fatal acci dent happened to Mr. William Sayer, farmer, of Rock land St. Peter, Norfolk. As he was assisting his men on a stack which was being threshed out by a steam power machine, he unfortunately slipped off and fell upon it, his left leg dropping in amongst the beaders, which limb, from the knee to the foot, was ma ng l e d in 'a shocking manner. Mr. Potter, surgeon, of Attleborough, was immediately sent for, as was also Mr. Hargreave, surgeon, of WattonAoth of whom at once attended the unfortunate man, applied a tourniquet to the limb, and made every effort to restore him, but the loss of blood and shock to the system were so great that he eventually expired. Mr. Sayer, who was greatly esteemed, has left a wife and three small children to lament his un timely death. THE CALEDONIAN RAILWAY.—LIVERPOOL, A meeting of the shareholders in this railway, and re siding in this district, was held this afternoon at the Clarendon-rooms, South John-street. The meeting was not numerously attended. Mr. Fenton, the largest shareholder present, was called upon to preside. He then entered into a detailed statement of some opposi tion which was in existence by two members of the board of directors, who having some project of their own relating to the line, but which was yet unknown to the company, were opposing the other eight members of the board. A Mr. Duncan, of Aberdeen, who had formerly been chairman of the board, had also offered opposition, and was desirous, it was stated, of becoming chairman again ; but as much inconvenience had attended his oc cupation of the post previously, it was not deemed de sirable he should be permitted to form a member of the board, and accordingly a resolution was passed, expres sive of confidence in the present members. This was all the business. THE MARKET AND THE PRICES OF BREAD.—During the present week the markets in most of the towns in the west of England have experienced a depression. At Totnes great market on Tuesday, and at Plymouth on Saturday, samples of best new wheat were offered at 14s. and 15s. per bag ; other sorts were as low as 12s. The same prices were also realised at Liskeard. Barley generally has sold at from 7s. to Bs. per bag. Notwith standing this fall in the markets, the bakers in many towns have declined to lower their bread more than a halfpenny on the 4ib. loaf. The consequence at Bridge water was, that on Tuesday the crier went round the town proclaiming the complaints of the inhabitants. In other places also public notico has been taken of the con duct of the bakers. IMPROVED SEWERAGE IN WESTMINSTER:.—For some time past, under the direction of the Commissioners of Sewers, a number of new sewers have been built in connection with the main, or Victoria Sewer, throughout the various streets in Westminster. A few days ago a new brick sewer was laid down throughout Downing street ; and at the present time new sewers are in course of construction along the entire of King-street ; brick btoarhre i eldrains b e i ng a l so l a id d own in Fludyer-street, Brown's-buildi ngs , Ch ar l es s t reet , an d th e various courts and outlets i n th at v i c i n ity.: The old sewer was found o n f_ffo a o ro x t i ta and m atterA choked-up noriltvatseefwroorrriitsh also accumu lationlsoboing completed opposite the India Board, and throughout the entire of Cannon-row, THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 9, lcA54 VISIT OF THE QUEEN TO THE EGYP TIAN YACHT, FEW GEHAAD. Yesterday the Queen paid a visit to the Egyp tian yacht, Feid. Gehaad, in Southampton Docks. •Her Majesty arrived in the docks in the Fairy yacht, at 5 p.m., and was ref - eyed by Captain Ford, the Ottoman Consul, P. H3dger, Esq., the Southampton Dock-master ; John Levy, Esq., and other dock authorities ; and Captain Austin, the Admiralty superintendent. Her Majesty was ac companied by the Duchess of Kent, the Prince of Wales, the Princess Royal, and two other of the royal children, and the Earl of Aberdeen. A floating platform was formed alorgside the yacht, which was covered with crimson cloth. The gang way was also covered with the sane material. At the top of the gangway her Majesty and the other royal personages and suites, who attended her, were received by Mustapha Redish, tie commander of the yacht. Her Majesty remained on board the yacht some considerable time, and admired its im mense extent, and its gorgeous fitting-up, which is in a style of Oriental splendour. The yards were manned, and an Egyptian guard of honour re ceived her Majesty, family, and suite, on deck. The Mayor of Southampton, as admiral of the port, and the town clerk, received the Queen previ ous to her going on board the yacht. Her Majesty went all over the yacht, and examined very atten tively every part of it. After this was done the whole of the royal party sat down in the state saloon, and coffee and a magnificent eastern pipe were placed before them. The pipe was smoked manfully by the Prince of Wales. Her Majesty accepted of coffee, and she had it presented to her by the Egyptian officers, who did their homage, while doing so, according to Eastern practice. The captain of the Feid Gehaad, dressed in magnificent costume, took off his shoes on entering the saloon where her Majesty was seated, which is the greatest mark of honour that he could pay the Queen. The mixture ireass ia n of N Cofts, A ra b s, T ur k s, an d Nubians, th e crew an d o ffi cers cs, which ius of the yacht, with their varied uniforms, formed a singular sight. The guard of honour was formed of Egyptian naval cadets. The flashing of the scymeters of the officers, the sound of the fife and drum, with which the guard beat to arms as her Majesty was about to pass along the deck, with the wild cry of joy and welcome which she received, from the crew who manned the yards, formed alto gether a most curious spectacle. Thousands of people were in the docks ; every steamer 'was crammed with spectators ; considerable sums of money were offered by ladies and gentlemen to go on board the Feid Gehaad to witness her Majesty's inspection of it, but none but officials were per mitted on board. Her Majesty expressed to the Mayor of Southampton her admiration of the beauty of the yacht. Many of the painted panels on board the yacht reminded one of scenes and de scriptions in the Arabian Nights Entertainments. The Queen was greatly cheered by the English spectators, both on entering and leaving South ampton. Almost as soon as her Majesty went on board the Feid Gehaad, the whole of the Egyptian officers belonging to her, together with the Mahom medan priest, were introduced. The name of the yacht, the Feid Gehaad, means the Fortune of War. She brought over to England El Hami Pacha, the son of the late Pacha of Egypt. PRINCE ALBERT'S VISIT TO THE FRENCH EMPEROR. BOULOGNE, FRIDAY MORNING. The Emperor and Prince Albert left the Impe rial Hotel, accompanied by their respective suites, at 6 o'clock this morning, in order to be present at the grand military manoeuvres which will take place to-day near Marquise. The Royal party start thus early in consequence of the beat which 'has prevailed all qie week, and which would ren der the active operations of a sham battle 'ex tremely distressing, both to men and horses, if carried on under a mid-day sun. It has therefore been arranged that the Emperor and Prince shall 'leave their carriage s at Marquise, and take horse at 7 o'clock for ,the scene of military operations, which will commence about 3 miles from that vil lage. At 11. o'clock the evolutions will will be sus pended for 2 hours, and the Emperor will enter tam the Prince, his staff, the French Generals and other visitors of distinction, at a dejeuner in the Imperial tent. The manoeuvres will then re-com mence, and will be brought to a close between 3 and'4 o'clock, when the Royal party will return to Boulogne. The desire to witness this grand military demon stration and assemblage of distinguished _person . ages is excessive. Ever; available horsy and vehicle in the town has been engaged, and yesterday fabu lous prices were offered for fiacres by English visi tors. The road to Marquise from an early hour this morning exhibited a continuous stream of vehicles and pedestrians, hundreds of persons, un able to procure a voiture, having resolved to walk to the scene of action rather than miss a mimic war conducted upon so unusual a scale of vastness and completeness of detail. The weather has been extremely fine all the week, but this morning the sky is cloudy and threatens rain. Yesterday at 3 o'clock, the Emperor and Prince Albert drove down to the quay, and went on board the Victoria and Albert, under a salute of artillery. The Prince himself conducted the Emperor over the ship. liejeuner was laid out in the State cabin, but the Royal party did not stay to partake of it, and they returned to the Imperial carriages amid the acclamations of a dense crowd assembled on the quay and the hearty cheers of the crew of the Royal yacht. The Em peror and Prince then paid a brief visit to the camp at Wimereux. In the evening the Emperor entertained Prince Albert and a brilliant circle at dinner. The excellent band of the Guides was in attendance in the courtyard of the Imperial hotel. The grand ball at the Tintelleries last night was attended by thousands of persons. A little rain fell at intervals, which somewhat thinned the grounds, and the early hour at which the Royal party had determined to visit the camp next morn ing precluded all hope of the attendance of the Emperor and his guests. But almost all the Eng lish families now at Boulogne were present, and among not the least delighted portion of the visitors were the junior officers of her Majesty's steamers who formed the escort of Prince Albert. Our gallant young countrymen seemed to be in great favour with the French ladies. The grounds were brilliantly illuminated with coloured lamps. Chinese lanterns, arranged in au infinite variety of French eagles, Imperial ciphers, and other devices, while at intervals beds and baskets of exquisite plants, lit up by small lamps tastefully placed among the leaves awl fig wers, made the Tintelleties a dazzling scene of fairy land. An excellent orches tra was in attendance. Several English sailors from the Royal steamers found their way into the gardens, and joined in a country dance with great vigour, amid the bravos of the assembly. It is believed that Prince Albert will take leave to-night of the Emperor, who will accompany the Prince on board the Victoria and Albert. Tim Royal yacht and her escort will get under way be tween 11 and 12 o'clock, and may be expected to arrive at Cowes about 8 o'clock to-morrow morning (Saturday). Thousands of persons have inspected the Victoria and Albert during the stay of the Prince at Bou logne. Tickets of admission were at first issued, but yesterday the p4blie were admitted without distinction. Both French and English visitors were delighted with the courtesy of her gallant offieers, and with the exce ll ence o f th e arrange ments, which allowed th em to exam i ne h er i nter i or fittings and decoration s with the greatest order and comfort.

The following are our latest telegraphic des- patches : THE BALTIC. RETURN OF SIR C. NAPIER. PARIS, FRIDAY NIGHT. A despatch from Dantzic announces that Ad miral Napier intends to leave Ledsund at six o'clock this morning, with the Gladiator and the Cumberland, for England. DANTZIC, FRIDAY. The steam-corvette Bulldog, Captain Hall, has come in with the news that the Basilisk and Hecla had left Aland, having taken in tow two French ships which were conveying the troops back to France. The Belleisle hospital ship and the Cumberland are the next to go home. Another despatch, of the same date, is as fol- lows The Bulldog, which left the fleet on the sth, has arrived. Admiral Napier was gone up to the Isle of Nargen. The French troops are leaving. The Gladiator, Cumberland, and Bellizile have left for Eng 'awl. THE ALAND ISLANDS. A letter from Stockholm, of August 29, in the Universal German Gazette, says A deputation of peasants arrived here a few days back from the Aland Islands to obtain the occupation of these islands by Sweden and t' eir incorporation with that State. Their petition was duly presented to the Diet, and this day a large deputation of the members of the Diet laid the prayer of the petition before the King." RUSSIAN ACCOUNT OF THE CAPTURE OF BOMARSTJND. The following are the terms in which the Inver' lade Kusse, as copied from the St. Peterburg Journal, of the 21st August (September 2), announces the capture of Bomarsund by the allied troops : "NEWS FROI'd THE BALTIC SEA. . "The last news from the isles of Aland stops at the 27th of July, the date of the arrival' of the French troops, which were intended to land. From that time the complete investment commenced, both by land and sea, of the fortifications of those islands, and all means of procuring direct and certain informa tion from them ceased to exist. We only know that it was through the hearsaystatements of the inhabitants, brought to the knowledge of the Governor of Abo, that the enemy, after having landed as many as 10,000 m e n upon the principal isle, had begun to erect batteries, and was assailing our fortifications with numerous artillery. After the 31st of July there was heard at Abo a heavy cannonade on the isle of Aland, which did not cease from morning to night ; but all the accounts agree in saying that our fortifications held out vigorously, and that they destroyed a battery constructed by the French near the village of Finsby. From the 2d of August the cannonade was obviously redoubled in intensity ; but it suddenly ceased on the 4th, and the bad news soon spread that the enemy had taken the fort of Aland. "Although up to this moment we have not received any positive news from Aland beyond the reports of private persons, the unhappy fate of our fortifications cannot be doubted. Alt the accounts, though differing in certain details, correspond as to the principal points. " The fortifications of Aland were composed of a for tified barracks occupying the eastern extremity of the principle isle, upon the strait of Bomarsund, and of three towers respectively designated by the letters C, U, and Z. 'these works, separated from each other, alone were finished ; the greatest part of the fortress was only rough-cast, and it existed merely in project. The garri son was composed of the battalion of the line of Finland No. 10, to which were added two companies of the bat talion of grenadiers, tirailleurs, under the command of Colonel Furubjelm, who, up to the commencement of the siege, had occupied a coast battery temporarily raised at the south of the fort. The first efforts of the enemy were directed, as it appears, against the tower C, situ ated at the west of the fort, and they rendered them selves masters of it on the d of August, after a bom bardment without intermission. According to the re port of some persons, the brave defenders of this tower, at last deprived of all possibility of continuing their re sistance, decided upon making a desperate sortie, which threw the ranks of the enemy into disorder, and they blew up the tower after the French h a d e ff ecte d an entry into it. "On the 3d August, the enemy attacked the other tower, U, situate on Cape Nordwick, to the north of the principal fort, and they rendered themselves masters of that also, but not without experiencing a sensible loss. On the 4th, at the break of day, the enemy directed ali his efforts, both by land and sea, against the fortified barracks, which was inundated with a perfect hailstorm of bombs and bullets. At last, about one o'clock in the afternoon, the enemy occupied this last fortific ttion. The report runs that the commandant of the place, Major-General Bodisco, and Colonel Furubjelm, as well as a part of the garri son, are still alive, and prisoners of war. It is said that the enemy was astonished at the energy and the dura tion of their resistance, and that in testimony of thei r esteem for the gallant defenders of the fort they have returned the officers their swords. " This is all that is known respecting this sad event —an 'event which there is no possibility of hindering. However lamentable may be the fate of the fortifications of Aland, isolated as they were in some manner of an advanced post, we have still here, also, the consolation that the Russian troops remained faithful to their duty, and to military honour. In defending for a period of eight days, against fifty-eight ships and a land force of 10,000 men, a secondary and unfinished fort, the garri son of Aland ha's won the applause even of the enemy, and has heroically sustained the glory of the Russian arms. "On the 10th of August five of the enemy's steam ships entered the Archipelago of Abo, and directed themselves against 17 gun-boats of the second battalion of the flotilla of the west, which, with some small steam-tugs, were anchored near the isle of Rousal, barring the channel leading to Abo. The enemy opened a violent cannonade at a distance of 2,000 sageres. His shot, shell, and bombs fell for the greatest part beyond the gun-boats, which quietly waited till the enemy should approach within range, and only then opened fire from their pieces. The cannonade lasted-more than two hours and a-half, during which we had three men killed and eight wounded. Among the number of the latter were three men of the naval militia of Finland. "The enemy then retired, one of his steamers having to be towed, by reason of the injuries it had received. "In his report of this affair, the captain of the vessel of the first rank, Akouloff, commander of the western brigade of the paddle flotilla, bears testimony with par ticular praise to the coolness and the excellent disposi tion of the Corvette, Captain Atryganieff, commander of the 2d battalion, and eulogises the zeal of all the offi cers, as well as the crews. " His Majesty the Emperor has been pleased to ex press his satisfaction of the conduet of the officers, and to confer twelve marks of honour of the military order among the crews." THE BRITISH EXPEDITION. COUNCIL OF WAR. VARNA, August 28.—The Council of War held at Marshal St. Arnaud's quarters on Saturday last, August 26, was no doubt one of the most im portant which has yet taken place. M. St. Arnaud has issued the following order of the day : "ARMEE D'ORIENT. " ETAT MAJOR-GENERAL.—ORDRIS GENERAL. (NO. 100.) "Soldats,—Vous venez de donner de beaux examples de pers6vdrance, de calme, et d'6nergie. au milieu de circonstances douleureusses qu'il faut oublier. L'heure est venue de combattre, et de vaincre. out the paddle-box boats to carry seven horses each, is due to Lieutenant Roberts, command ing her Majesty' s s t eamer Cyclops, who has also worked very hard both here and at Constan tinople in fitting up boats and pontoons. The Highlanders and Guards seemed nearly as well as when they landed. They marched down to the pier and were taken off a thousand a time by the steam-boats purchased byour Government from the , Austrian Lloyds', which were built for the naviga tion of the Danube, and have been found-very use ful owing to their speed, power, and light dr aug ht o f water. In the course of the day the 28th and 44th Regiments embarked, and the Ist Brigade of the Light Division is just moving down to the water's edge. The engineer staff is getting on board also. Se veral transports have already started, laden, for Balt chi k. The cholera still hangs around us. On Sunday night, Mr. Shegog, surgeon of the 88th Regiment, was seized with it, and expired in a few hours, to the profound regret of every, man in the regiment. His exertions when 'the epidemic had been raging were of the most extraordinary kind. He was by the beds of his patients night and day, and by his care, and skill, and kindness, he saved many a life. Mild, unassuming, indefatigable, and amiable, he added, to nobleness of heart, gAat decision and energy. His remains were interred yesterday; they were followed to the grave by the regiment— officers, men, and women. The troops remain for the present in Varna Bay ; on board the ships. It is expected that the expe. dition will sail on Saturday next. The weather isltne, though the sky is somewha overcast. THE MACK SEX. THE - EXPEDITION TO THE CRIMEA. The spectacle at Varna is described as.astonish ing, for fascines and gabions by thousands, sacks of provisions heap upon heap, timbdr, bales of hay, and barrels of stores, are accumulating upon a scale such as the present generation has not known. The superintendent of transports has guaranteed to embark 2,000 infantry in 18 minutes. The expeditionary force will be composed of British, French, and Ottoman troops, who will be sent in two divisions of transports upon the coast of the Crimea. The first division will convey 14,000 men belonging to the French army, and between 400 and 500 horses, with seven batteries, mounting 36 guns. The other will convey the Ottoman army, of about 10,000 men and 800 horses. The British army, a part of which is already on board the steamers which have ccme direct from England, will also be thrown upon the coasts of the Crimea, to the numbez of 21,000 men and 1,000 horses, with 36 guns. Thus, the first expeditionary army will land about 50,000 troops, who, six or eight days afterwards, will be reinforced by an additional number of from 25,000 to 30,000 French troops, and from 4,000 to 5,000 English troops. . A - private letter from Varna of the 24th ult. states that a council of war had been held there, which was composed of Marshal St. Arnaud, Lord Raglan, Admiral Dundas, and Hamelin. It was called for the purpose of considering the expediency of proceeding with the grand expedition. After a long discussion, during which Admiral Hamelin re commended an adjournment in consequence of the sickly state of the French navy from. cholera and the probability of stormy weather in the Black Sea during the mouth of December, it was finally re solved that the expedition should proceed. Ad miral Hamelin then requested that a note she uld be made of his objections. THE PRINCIPALITIES. The Ost Deutsch Post. of Vienna contains a letter from Jassy,. of the 28th ult., which says :• "The departure of the Russians is still spoken of, but they do not go. It is said that Gen. Fealoff, who left yesterday on a mission to Prince Gortschakoff, has brought an order from the Czar to preserve Moldavia as long as strategical necessities require. In addition, Gen. Gortschakoff has received orders not to extend too much the line of defence, and to . establish strong detachments on various points of the Sereth. It is thus that detach. ments of 3,000 infantry and 600 cavalry have been placed at Mianitz, Patra, Trotusch, Bakea, and Adschind. The line of the Pruth is under the command of Gen. Osten Sacken. Prince Gortschakoff is now on a tour of in spection. Gen. Osten Sacken went yesterday to Skaliani to try a i new bridge just constructed near that place." The Augsburg Gazette gives some details relative to the arrangements entered into between Omer Pacha and General Hess for the occupation of the Principalities by the Austrian trqops. The Aus trians, it says, are to place garrisons in 18 towns or large villages of Lesser arid Greater Wallachia, but all the fords of the Danube, and all the fortified points from ICalafat to Galatz and lorail, are to receive Turkish garrisons. Orner Paella is to pass Jalomnitza with 60,000 infantry, 24,000 cavalry, and 120 pieces of cannon, and to advance to • the river of Dusco, where he is to establish his head quarters. After the Russians shall have evacuated Galatz and I brail, the Turks are to continue their advance on both banks of the Lower Sereth, and are to take up a position there. OMER PACHA.'S ATTACK. It is rumoured that Omer Pacha intends to make an attack upon the enemy simultaneously with the offensive operations of the allies against the Crimea; but the whereabouts of these contemplated attacks is still matter of conjecture. THE WAR IN ASIA. A letter from Trebizond, received by the mail which reached Constantinople on the 24th ult., announces that the Russians had recrossed the Ar pachai and abandoned Bayazid in consequence of the advance of Mehemed Redschid Pasha, Gover nor-General of Van. The Turkish army at Kars remained in its iutrenchinents, and had not been molested by the Russians. It was announced, yesterday, in a private tele graph despatch; 'that General Guyon, who is styled Kurschid PaClia,• had , been appointed to succeed Mustapha Pacha in the command of the Army of Asia. This statement is contradicted by letters from Constantinople of the 25th, which state his successor is Ismail Pacha, who distinguished him self at Kalafat. A letter from Beyrout, 19tt ult., in the Moni teur, says :—" The Emir Bechir-Ahmet, the can didate proposed by the great powers for the func tions of Christian cairnacam of the Libanus, has just been confirmed by the Sublime Porte, and the muchir immediately gave him the investiture. This nomination has been very favourably received by the population of the Mountain." AUSTRIA. The Wanderer of Vienna states that Prince Gortschakoff has communicated, confidentially to his friends at Vienna, that tl►d Emperor of Russia does not accept the propositions of the Cabinet of Vienna. This refusal, however, has occasioned no surprise to the Austrian Government, and it presses that of Prussia to give to the Austro-Prussia treaty the extension which is called for by the determination of the Czar not to comply with the conditions which have been proposed as the bases of ne gotiations for, peace. According to the Wan derer, there are already indications of the in tentions of Austria to enter into alliance of fensive and defensive with the Western Powers if Prussia should refuse to give the desired extension to the Austro-Prussian treaty. This journal adds, that the Prussian Government hav ing expressed a fear that the Western Powers in tended, as ono of its means of war against Russia, to revolutionise Poland, all pretext for favouring Russia on this ground has been taken away from the Prussian Government by the most positive as surances of the Western Powers that the King of Prussia has nothing to fear for his Polish territory from a policy of resistance to the designs of Russia. The Post Ampt Gazette of Frankfort, under the head " L'ennemi ne .vous a pas attendu sur le Danube. of, Berlin, states that the Austrian ambassador See colonises demoralises, detruites par Ia rnaladie, e'en there has bad a long conference with the Prussian loignent peniblement, et c'est la Providence peut-etre Minister, the object of which was to come to an u,u qui a you'll nous 6Pargner I'dpreuve de ces contrees mal- derstanding as to the policy to be adopted in conse saines.

VIENNA, Sept. courier arrived here from Berlin, who, it is stated, brings despatches for the Austrian Government, which contain the views of the Berlin Cabinet, touching the answer of Russia on the guarantee question. It is also understood that Count Benkendorf brought an autograph letter from the Czar to the King of Russia, at Putbus, in which the former expresses his anxious wish to have a personal interview with the latter, from which it is hoped that a more perfect understanding be' twee the two Monarchs would probably result. His Excellency Baron de Meyendorff, the former Russian ambassador here, had the honour of being received to-day at a special audience by the Emperor Francis Joseph, when his Excelleuil delivered to his Majesty his letters of recall. Baron de Meyendorff leaves this city for St. Petersburg in the course of a day or two. On 'Change to-day a report was spread that General Baron von Hess would shortly have a per. sonal interview with. Prince Michael Gortscl the commander of the Russian forces in the princi pal ities. It appears to me, however, that this report is not entitled to credit. PRUSSIA. BERLIN, Sept. €.—The Preussiche vespondoz of yesterday contains au article ou the subject o the last Russian answer. From the article wo learn five things :—First, that the Prussian Cabine t chooses to throw the blame of its rejection on the form in which the postulates Are couched, rather than on the stipulations them selves, reserving to itself an open door, at some future time, if necessary, to concede everything without sacrificing its honourand consistency ; secondly, that the Prussian Cabinet will for the present refrain from any further attempts at mediation ; thirdly, the treaty of April 20 is void and invalid ; fourthly, Germany (either with or without Austria) noW to come to a resolution asto the terms the belligererr s parties ought to accept ; and, fifthly, the Bund is shortly to step into the arena between the combat ants as the herald of a mediative neutrality. Among a variety of Russian mews that has ar" rived to-day and yesterday is the statement illus" trative of the position occupied by Austria to Ity,s" sia—viz., that various R uss i an b an k ers h a d sub scribed to the new Austrian loan for as much 11 ,0 10,000 guilders. FRANCE. There is nothing of any interest to extract from the leading columns of the Paris journals of this day. Most of the journals, indeed, are without original articles on any subject. The Moniteur has the following from Biarritz , 6th inst :—" The" Empress yesterday made an ex" elusion to the mouth of the Adour, in the Ville cl? Dax steamer. The weather was delightful, and the beauty of the banks of the river excited the admiration of her Majesty and the persons of be t suite. The Empress returned in the evening to Biarritz in perfect health." The following, according to the Belgian jour nals, is the list of the decorations given at Boulogne by the King of the Belgians and the Emperor of the French. The King has named in the Order of Leopold :—Generals Roguet, Count de Montebello, de Cott() and Boyer, Aides de-Camp of the Emperor, to be Grand Officers ; M. Mocquart,. Private Secretary, to be Com mander ; and M. Lepic, Marechal des Logis of the Imperial Palace, and M.

The King of Portugal and the Duke of Oporto left Ostend yesterday, with their suite, on board the royal steamer Mindello, for Lisbon. The Courrier du Havre says it is informed that General Bodisco has fixed upon Evreux as his place of residence, a Russian lady of high rank of his acquaintance having near that place a chateau, where she resides for the greater part of the year. It is stated that the French Government gave per mission to the general to fix his residence in any town of France he should please, except Paris.

SPAIN. The following telegraphic despatch bas jot been received in Paris : " Madrid, 6th—Order and confidence are re established at Madrid. Public attention is occu pied with the elections, but more particularly so by the cholera. There is no news of importance to communicate." We have received the Madrid journals of the 3d. The Gazette states that the Consultative Junta of the province of Madrid has just dissolved itself, and addressed its adieux to the people of Madrid in a manifesto. Thu document is signed by Evariste San Miguel, President of the Junta ; the Marquis de Fuentes del Duero, Vice-President ; &c. Marshal Narvaez was still at Loja on the 30th ult., but was about to commence his journey immediately, in order that he might return to Spain as soon as pos sible. The Junta of Salamanca has been *dis solved, and the civil governor reinstated in his functions. A detachment of troops has been sent from Valladolid to reinforce the garrison of Salamanca. The company of volun teers who entered Madrid with the liberating army has been disbanded. The directors of the Bank of St. Ferdinand have agreed to endorse the drafts issued by the Government on the Colonial Treasuries to the amount of 56 millions of real s. Accounts received from Cuba of the sth ult. state that the colony was at that date perfectly trail gull, and its sanitary state improved. ITALY. The Giornale di .Roma, of the 31st ultimo, r e ' lates the f o ll ow i ng :—" A. few days ago the SolY Father, while passing on foot near the hospital of St. Giovanni, asked whether there were .any e ll° ..- lera patients there.

His Holiness has distributed several gold and silver medals lately to the physicians and sick nurses at the cholera hospital of Santo Spirito." STATE OF TRADE. (From the Manchester Guardian of this day.) MANclusunt,;Sept. B.—A settled feeling of cvanfidence that we shall gradually realise in our trade the good effects of cheap food is manifestly spreading Cu every side. Spinners and manufacturers remain, therefore, Per' fectly firm to their quotations. The abundant harvest of the continent of Europe must tell upon the demand from that quarter for English yarns, and is, indeed, already quietly influencing the action of merchants. It is however, to be feared that the enormous quantities of piece goods sent to India, and particularly to Calcutta, must be mitt' riously felt for some time to come, and there is very little ground for hope that our trade to China can be speedily restored by the return of internal peace in that enoPire'. Indeed, this view has occasioned a complete Pate ° among the merchants ; and the attempt to obtain ft small advance upon the low rates which induced the late speculative purchases has had but a partial auce e°4 which is now disappearing again. BRADFORD, Sept. 7.—Wool—There is a coolness amongst buyers to operate, and small purchases only are made. Yarns—Th e contracts entered into for this month are generally at a ,mall advance, but by no moot? equal to the recent advance on wool. Pieces--There la a better attendance of merchants to-day, and a greater disposition evi nce d t o b u y w h ere b ar g a ins are to be b ad. NOTTINGHAM Sept. 7.—A few houses, both in the lac,' and hosiery trade s , h a ve been doing a little more busi ness since our la s t report, but the improvement does not extend to many. overcomeLEICESTER, Sept. 7.—The tone of our market i s g ood, excepting the glove branch, which hasnot yet ove rcome its depression. All the operatives are well employed. 14 f WOQLLEiY TRADE. (Front the Leeds Mercury of this day.) LEEDS, Sept. B..—We have no alteration to report in the general state of the woollen trade, for although the markets on Saturday and on Tuesday were rather flatter than the previous week's. still there has been an average business done as the falling off in the markets is arePIY made up by the deliveries direct at the merchants' ware houses. The trade in the warehouses continues steady and without any material alteration since our last week's report.
