Wrvn, variable from W.S.W. to N.W.—Light breeze, anti dull weather. CTI) e - LONDON, THURSDAY, JUNE 29, 1854. The intelligence is confirmed that the Russian army is in full retreat through the Principalities. Defeated. successively at Oltenitza, at Citate, and before Silistria ; with General SCHILDERS killed, and General LUDERS killed, and Prince PASKE WITCH seriously wounded ; with 50,000 men destroyed on their side alone since the commence ment of the campaign of 1854—the invading forces are at length retiring with all despatch from the scene of their disgrace and discomfiture. Having recrossed the Danube to the left bank, they have already evacuated the chief part of Wallachia, and are rapidly concentrating their numbers within the boundaries of Moldavia, pre paratory, it may be, to an immediate passage once more across the Pruth, and a return within the frontiers of Bessarabia. Whatever may be the next movement on the part of the enemy, there can be little doubt as to the necessity of despatch on the side of the Allies, their antagonists. Hitherto, the scheme upon which our plan of warlike operations would appear to have been founded, has been that of systematic procrastination. We have delayed until the Russians have been so soundly thrashed by the Turkish army, aided only by the Egyptian contingent, that the beaten Muscovites have been compelled to withdraw from the provinces into which they had (it would seem, even for their own interests) most mistakenly adventured. We have d elayed until, when our troops have at length landed at Varna, and ma rc h e d i n l an d i n t h e di rect i on of OMER PAciaA's head-quarters —the game is "up," has been "played out," before French or English can effect a combination of their forces with those they had undertak en to aid in the name of jus tice, it in the ta us© of ,man • ify, and in the inte rests of civilisation. The peculiarity of the positi on must not be overlooked, because the crisis at Which things have now arrived is of the m ost imminent and momentous character. The English contingent, under Lord R AGLAN, w the French co ntingent, under Marshal ST. AR NAIID—are still on their ay to join the Turki s h army under OMER PACHA, when news is received that the Russians are leaving Wallachia and fal ling back upon Moldavia, and preparing, according to all appearances, to retire beyond the Pruth, into Bessarabia. Moreover, simultaneously with this intelligence of the evacuation of the Danubian Provinces, or at any rate of one of the Danubian p:.ovinces, by the forces of the CZAR, comes the intelligence that the forces of the KAISER are Pr!p ar i ng at once to occupy those same Principa lities ! Why ? it may be asked. But assuredly tl u reason must be suffi c i en tl y o b v i ous. It must h obvious that the Austrian forces are entering Wallachia and Moldavia from the direction of Transylvania simply for the purpose of interposing between their merely nominal allies, the victorious 'Turks, and their secret frieuds(their pretended fees, • 1 but at heart the objects of their fullest sympathy), the defeated and dispirited Muscovites. From the outset we have done our part in warning the public against auy credence in the good faith of Austria as a power pretending to co-operate with Franco and England in opposition to the Councils of St. Petersburg. The latest proceeding of that power in regard to the immediate belligerents along the banks of the Danube tends, we conceive, to jus tify everything we have hitherto said in reference to the suspicious and probably most treacherous course about to be pursued by the Vienna Go vernment. Were Austria, in truth, faithful to the cause espoused by Prance and England, she wou ld act at 'this juncture, otherwise than by sending troops across her own frontier for the purpose of occupyi ng th e P r i nc ip a liti es . H av e not the Turks, we may ask, have not the Turks, unaided by any but the Egyptians, shown themselves capable of defend ing their own dominions, of so defending them, of contending with their assailants with so much vigour, patriotism, ardour, and determination, that the Russians have at last deemed it expedi ent to raise the siege of Silistria, and beat a re treat back again across the invaded and ravaged Principalities ? And if the soldiers of the SULTAN have shown themselves capable of doing this in the hour of their utmost extremity, might they not be deemed capable (particularly now that the Anglo-French contingent must have arrived in the vicinity of Schumla, and have concentrated their forces at OMER PACHA'S head-quarters), might they not be deemed capable, we may ask, of retaining possession (without Austrian assist ance) of the provinces their own unaided valour has enabled them to reconquer, or at least to cause them to be evacuated ? No, we repeat again and again, this latest movement on the part of the Aus trian troops must be regarded, to say the very least of it, as most ominous, as most sinister, as most suspicious. Comparatively little can now be effected, there fore, in that direction, in the direction of Moldo- Wallachia, under these altered and peculiar cir cumstances. Comparatively little can be effected there' by the allied armies under Marshal ST. AR NAUD, Lord RAGLAN, and OMER PACHA, with a view to bring about the close of the war, and the arrangement of some satisfactory terms of pacification. The Russians, as we have seen, have retreated ! And to add to the obstacles in that quarter, the Austrian troops have determined to press forward for the purpose of themselves occu pying the evacuated Principalities ! The latter movement, as we intimated yesterday, with the simple and very apparent purpose of " encumber ing" Turkey with help, at the very time of all others when Turkey may be said to have least re quired assistance at any rate on the side of the Austrian Government. Wherefore, it may be at once concluded from all these considerations that the plans of the campaign must require immediate revision and very considerable modifica tion. The Balkan range is no longer in danger. Nay, the Danube itself is once more relieved from the presence of an invading army of Muscovites. The war is becoming a defensive war instead of, as hitherto, an offensive war on the part of the AUTOCRAT. His antagonists must look therefore elsewhere at this moment than mainly to the protection of those provinces, which, in the contingency of a Russian success, might have conducted the soldiers of the CZAR in triumph, first to Adrianople, and then, if not repelled or impeded, onwards to Constanti nople. England and France, and Turkey,-must look to the seizure of the Crimea, to the capture of Sebas topol. I The necessity for this would appear to have been already recognised at the seat of war. Some 200 transports have been already collected together at Varna, with a view to facilitate the conveyance of French and English troops across the Black Sea at the earliest possible moment, to aid the combined fleets in their attack upon that notable peninsula and those redoubtable fortifi cations. Our next hopes, therefore, are that the advance of the Austrians into and the retreat of the Rus sians from the Principalities may be answered on the part of England and France by a simultaneous descent of their united forces—at last—upon Cronstadt and upon Sebastopol. The spider, celebrated in Scottish history for the encouragement which its perseverance afforded to " the BRUCE" was scarcely more indefatigable in its exertions than the Lord of the Manor of Hampstead. Fora quarter of a century has Sir THOMAS MARYON WILSON steadily pursued his object. Undeterred by failure, heedless of ex pense, he has returned to the charge again and again, apparently gaining strength from each suc cessive defeat, until at the sixth application he has succeeded in obtaining a considerable majority in the Upper House in aid of his attack on one of the lungs of the metropolis. Yes, the division of Tuesday night seriously endangers the integrity of Hampstead Heath, for if the bill then read a second time should receive the Legislative sanction, we may look fur the speedy enclosure of that favourite place of resort, and the exclusion of the public therefrom. It is therefore imperative on every person desirous of preventing any further diminution of the opportunities of breathing pure air in the vicinity of London to lose no time in offering the most strenuous opposition to the fur ther progress of the bill. We do not assert that because a measure has been five times deliberately rejected a further investigation should be sternly prohibited. We do not assert that because the learned Judges to whom the matter was referred had distinctly and unequivocally reported against the bill, that it should therefore, as a matter of course, be thrown out. We do not assert that, because the public health and the public convenience are greatly con cerned in maintaining the existing state of affairs, that therefore, ex necessitate, the House should re fuse its assent to the application. But this we do say, that these various matters supply powerful reasons for the greatest caution, before the extra .ordinary powers demanded should be conferred on the promoter. The Legislature may have acted very erroneously in foiling the five previous at tempts. But when the matter was unconnected with politics—when party feelings or predilections could not by any possibility be enlisted against the demand,—and when such men as Lords TEN TERDEN, DENMAN, BROUGHAM, and CAMPBELL were rankei amongst its most strenuous oppo nents, it shows an amount of authority, which it is, indeed, difficult to overcome ; and which re quired more conclusive arguments than any ad duced on behalf of the promoter even to shake. As to the report of the learned Judges, the Lord Chief Baron, and Mr. Justice VAUGHAN WILLIAMS, we ventur e to assert that nothing could fall more strictly within the line of their duty than the course which they adopted. And we believe that 1 we shall receive the almost unanimous concurrence of every disinterested person, in stating that these eminent men have entitled themselves to the thanks and gratitude of the eoramidninciutlyolfsortothseaiyr report on the question. It is r that they departed from the usual rule. It may be that such cases have seldom arisen —that the and that, th erefore, in what a p r u e b t l e ie rn a i r e e d n , o , t Es in tat a e n ß y i d il e so :cr , ee intere s t e d the only points rest between the tenant for life and . the remainder-men. But when it is otherwise when the public in general, or any body of per sons are concerned, then it is not only their privi lege, but their duty, to look to the rights of these parties, and to defeat any effort at self-aggrandise ment at the expense of others, although these others may be unrepresented before them. For what was the order cf reference which led to the report ? It was, according to the statement of the noble Marquis will, brought forward the bill— " whether, presuming the allegations of the pre amble to be proved, it was reasonable that the bill should pass." They answered in the negative, stating that " even if the al legations were proved they would not furnish grounds for a bill at all ;" and they gave the reasons, aye, sound and conclusive reasons, for that opinion, by showing that, while the father of the present applicant, under whose will his title was derived, gave ample leasing powers over the other estates, he avoided any mention of the Hampstead property. If the omission had been through a mere oversight—if it could positively be said that it was owing either to ignorance or negligence, there might be some grounds for an application for relief; but neither allegation could be sustained. It could not be through ignorance, for, by making the provision as to the other estates, he clearly evinced Lis knowledge of the necessity for such an enabling clause. It could not be through negligence, for the mention of the other estates specifically led to the irresistible in ference that it was his intention, "from motives of patriotism and benevolence"—as Lord CAMP BELL well remarked—to withhold those powers with respect to the estate in Middlesex. Were not the Judges then justified, aye, more than justified, in stating that—" It may well be that the tes tator abstained from extending the leasing powers to the lands in question, for reasons which would have operated in his mind with equal force, even if the lands had been as valuable for building purposes at the date of the will as they are now." Surely this was an admirable reason for reporting that " under the terms of the order of reference," it was not reasonable that the bill should pass. As to the term " spoliation" that could not apply. The necessity for a bill proved that Sir THOMAS MARYON WILSON had no right that would authorise him to build on, and thus exclude the public from, these lands. He sought a privilege, the concession of powers which he had never en joyed. It is nit for the public benefit that the privilege should be granted ; and, therefore, as the Bishop of OXFORD declared, there could be no injustice in refusing the favour. The limited nature of the present bill was no reason for pass ing it, for even without the declaration referred to it is quite clear that the indefatigable appli cant would regard it only as " an instalment," and that it would afford a powerful argument in favour of the next instalment, the demand for powers authorising him to deal with Hampstead heath itself in a similar manner. By the return of the Bank of England for the week ending the 17th instant, it appears that the amount of notes in circulation is reduced to 19,700,5751., being a decrease of no less than 613,5301. within the week. If this were taken by itself it might not be regarded as very alarm ing ; but when we consider that it follows a steady, continuous decline, protracted during a consider able period, and that, in consequence of the in creased war taxation, a larger amount of currency is required, it must be obvious that the indus trious classes must suffer greatly from the absence of an adequate representative and measure of value. The high rate of discount, even on unex ceptionable bills, and the extravagant prices of all the necessaries, which prevent the possibility of any reduction of the cost of manufacture, must materially cripple the operations, and paralyse the energies, of the creators and producers of national wealth. But the real state of the case is even more than it appears to be. From that 19,700,5751., supposed to be in the hands of the public, must be deducted the loss and missing bank notes, which, though still what is technically termed "open" in the books, and therefore included in the available circulation, is utterly useless to all intents and purposes. The paper placed in this position must, a►s we pointed out . in a recent impression (that of the 17th inst.), amount to some millions sterling—a very formi dable reduction from what would,, even if every pound were in active circulation, be but a scanty supply for the wants of the community. Surely these things should be looked to while there is yet time, and before the commercial and manufacturing communities have been reduced to the verge of ruin by a too stringent adherence to the letter of the law—already, if the amount at which the paper circulation of the country was fixed in 1844, 700,0001. (in round terms) has been taken away, by the withdrawal of the notes of private banks, either through failures, or ar rangements with the Leviathan establishment. If to that we add, two millions for lost or missing notes (which we believe to be far below the mark we find nearly three millions sterling, or about fourteen percent. abitracteclfrom the 22,000,0001. allowed to be issued, without a deposit of specie, and the Bank of England notes in actual circula tion will be found to be little more than seven teen millions and a half, a sum totally inadequate to the increased wealth, increased population, and increased taxation of the country. It has been said that the above estimate is too high—that the amount of lost bank notes is com paratively insignificant. We should, indeed, be delighted to have it proved that we were mis taken. We would submit to the imputation on our judgment, for the sake of the general com munity, but we fear that it is not so—that ours has been "an over-true tale." None but the Bank itself can clear up the doubts, and it will not consent to do so save on the authority of Parliament. Will any monetary reformer—any opponent of the Act of 1844—move for a return of the notes which have been alleged to be lost, and for which claims have been lodged, or payment stopped, and also of notes issued morethan a certain time, say three years, a large proportion whereof may fairly be regarded as missing, inasmuch as the Bank is bound to make weekly returns of its assets and liabilities, it could not, we conceive, if required by Parliament, object to give any particulars calculated to throw additional light on the subject, and which would be indispensible in order to prevent the public from being grievously misled by that which was intended to provide authentic information. It is, we believe, generally supposed by those who have never had occasion to make application for the restitution of the value of a lost bank-note that tho authorities are very liberal in their deal ings with the,losers—and that, either on a satis factory indemnity being given, or on very clear evidence of the destruction of the note, so that no claim could be preferred in proof thereof, the ac count would be forthwith, or after a short delay, restored. Never was there a greater mistake. Not only is clear and indisputable evidence, much more than would be required in a court of justice called for, coupled with an un exceptionable indemnity ; but payment is pro tracted for no less than five years, until the pa tience of the sufferer is exhausted, and he relin quishes a pursuit impeded by so many difficulties. As an illustration of these impediments habitu ally created, we shall refer to a case that occurred a few weeks since. In the month of August, 1852, a gentleman forwarded 101., which he had just received, to his wife in the country. She was at the,lime engaged in looking through some accounts and documents, which she subsequently burned. No person was in the room but a child a few months old. The note was immediately missed, and from the evidence no doubt could exist that it had been burned with the other papers. The gentleman ascertained the number of the note, and on or about the 16th August, 1852, made application to the Bank, stating all the cir cumstances. All the particulars were taken down at the time, and he was requested to call at the end of twelve months, when the matter would be dealt with. He was obliged to cross the Atlantic during the interval, and some twenty months elapsed before he sent an order to a friend to re ceive the value of the lost note. ApplicaLon was accordingly made; but, after hearing the nature of the evidence, and finding that the note was still " open," a reply was given to the following effect :—That as no one had actually seen the note burned, it could not be paid for five years (I) THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY EVEN'INO, JUNE 29. 1854. from the first application, and that, at the end of that time, the case might again be brought forward, and would be favourably con sidered. on a satisfactory indemnity being given. Was there ever such a farce as this. It was true that the evidence was - entirely circumstantial ; but it was such as would be sufficient to warrant. a capital conviction. The Directors, however, choose to ignore it for five years, even with the clearest guarantee against loss. We believe that the amount could be recovered in a Court of law ; and we earnestly hope that the responsibility of the Directors for lost notes may be tested by a legal decision. We have referred to this case, which we have verified by indisputable testimony, to show that there is no real foundation for the much vaunted liberality of the Directors ; and that, therefore, the amount of lost notes must be very considerable. A return such as we have indi cated would however decide the question, which must be one of considerable importance when the question of the renewal of the charter comes to be ventilated, as must speedily be the case. ACCIDENT TO TRE STEAM-SHIP HIMALAYA. (BY ELECTRIC TBLEGI?APH.) [FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.] The Himalaya steamer ran on a bank off Yar mouth last night. Three steamers are gone to assist her off. She is within a stone's-throw of the shore, but has twenty feet of water under her stern. ANOTHER ACCOUNT. SOUTHAMPTON, Thursday Morning. Intelli gence was received this morning that the Penin sular and Oriental Company's large screw steam ship Himalaya had got ashore. It appears that she was steaming up the Solent, by Hursb Castle, last evening, and, in end eavour i ng t o c l ear a b r i g , touched the shore opposite the Castle, and, being an ebb tide, she was obliged to remain during the night. Immediately upon gaining the above information Captain Engledue, the superintendent, despatched some steamboats for the purpose of towing her off, and no doubt she will be afloat by midday. From the state of the shore on which•the Himalaya lies, there is no need of apprehension as to any serious consequences, and it is fully expected that she will be got off without injury to either her hull or machinery. ROYAL FREE HOSPITAL. ADJOURNED INQUEST (THIS DAY). The inquiry was resumed this morning at 10 o'clock. The jury having assembled, a discussion took place of one hour's duration as to the admission of the evidence of a gentleman named Chaplain, a member of the Col lege of Surgeons, and apothecary to the institution ; and his evidence, which was ultimately admitted, went to prove that be had sounded the child, and could not de tect the presence of any stone in the bladder. Mary Rosser sworn, said—l live in No. 13, March mont-place. I was nurse to the child in the hospital about a week. lam a friend of its mother's. The child was first taken to the hospital upon a Friday, and it was in my arms. Dr. Scobell sounded the child, and said there was no stone ; he could not feel one. Mr. Cooke sounded him afterwards, and said there was a stone, and we were to make up our mind by Satur day whether the child should come into the hospital, as it could not be done without. It was taken in upon the Tuesday. It was a healthy child in every other re spect, excepting when it required to urinate, and then it screamed very dreadfully. At the request of the mother I was allowed to be in the hospital with him to see. the operation performed. The child played about the hos pital up to the Thursday morning. Dr. Scobell saw the child several times when it was in the hospital. No inquiry was made about the state of the child, who had been confined in his inside for one or two days before that. Upon that morning it.had bread and but ter for its breakfast at the hospital. I took the child home to its mother that morning, but it did not have anything to eat. When I came back the nurse took the child from me ; and having brought it back to me, she told me toundress him, and was in such haste that I had barely time to take its clothes off. I was not allowed to see the operation. The nurse told me that the doctors would not allow it. She shortly afterwards brought the child back, and dashed it down upon the bed, and said it would be a good jub when the dirty little wretch was dead. (Sensation.) The child wa' in a dreadful state ; it had a long cut, underneath its person. No directions were given to me how to attend to it ; it cried much for drink. The nurses did nothing for it, and the day-nurse said she would jump down its d—d little throat if it teazed her for drink. The doctors did not see it again until half-past ten the next morning. Dr. Scobell and Mr. Cook saw it, and spoke about it being very bad, and ordered it some brandy ; and this the nurses gave it, but that was all that was done. On the next day and Saturday they again saw it in the morning, and gave some directions. It died upon Sunday about half past eight. After some further evidence the inquiry was ad journed. The Inquest-room was densely crowded, and the proceedings created , the greatest interest. THE QUEEN'S ANNUAL EXCURSION.—Her Majesty's yacht the Victoria and Albert, Captain the Hon. Joseph Denman, went out of Portsmouth Harbour yesterday, for her trial cruise, to prepare for the reception of the Queen on her Majesty's voyage to Liverpool and Scot land in the course of next month. ..... ROYAL VISIT TO MONT BLANC.—Yesterday morning her Majesty and the Prince Consort, with the whole of the royal children and a large number of the children of the nobility, paid a visit to the Egyptian hall, to witness Mr. Albert Smith's Ascent of Mont Blanc. The royal party enjoyed the entertainment thoroughly. Her Ma jesty in particular was much amused, and laughed heartily at Mr. Smith's voluble commentary on the topics of the day in the famous " Galignani " song. At the con clusion, her Majesty expressed her warm appreciation of the merits of the entertainment, and was pleased to ac -3: special trai n from Manchester, ac cept a copy of the " Story of M o nt Blanc."

APPROACHING MARRIAGE IN HIGH LIFE.—It is rumoured that the only son and heir of Sir George Warrender, Bart., of Lochend, Haddingtonshire, is about to lead to the hymeneal altar the accomplished, beautiful, and only daughter of Sir Hugh Hume Camp bell, Bart., of Marchmont, Berwickshire. The mar riage will take place in London before the close of the season. —Kelso Mail. • SCOTTISH HOSPITAL—A quarterly general court of the governors of this corporation was held yesterday at the offices of the institution, Crane-court, Fleet-street ; Mr. Webster in the chair. The business of the court was of but a formal nature. The minutes of the last court were real and confirmed, after which a vote of thanks was passed-to eights- of: the governors for their very handsome present of a new banner to the corpora tion bearing its insignia and the names of the donors. The usual compliment to the chairman closed the pro ceedings. SOUTH AUSTRALIAN COMPANY.—At a meeting of the South Australian Company held yesterday the dividend declared was at the rate of 6 per cent., and the report was unanimously adopted. The chairman (Mr. E. Divett) stated that the accounts received from the co lony were most satisfactory, and that the sole drawback was the absence of a sufficient supply of labour to carry out public works. The general improvement in the value of land had exercised a considerable influence on the property of the company, and there was at present no expectation of an unfavourable reaction. THE EASTERN STEAM NAVIGATION COMPANY'S GREAT STEAMER OF 22,000 ToNs.-7--The immense screw and paddle steamer, building at the yard of Messrs. Scott Russell, at Millwall, for the Eastern Steam Navi gation Company, is to be completed in twelve months. Her keel has been laid down, and several of her bulk heads, or compartments, are raised, and the works are proceeding with energy and expedition. A railroad has been laid down along the entire length of her way. to facilitate the conveyance of the materials from the fac tory to the different parts of the vessel. The exact dimensions of the-ship are as follows :—Tonnage, buil ders' ineasuretnea, 22,000 tons ; tonnage burthen, 10,000 tons ; extreme length, 680 ft.; extreme .breadth, 83ft.; ex treme depth, 581 t.; power of engines (screw and paddle), 2,600 horse. Her engines are in the course of construction by Messrs. James Watt and Co., of Soho, and Messrs. Scott Russell, and will be fitted in the vessel before she is floated off. The hull will be entirely of iron, and of more than usual strength, the magnitude of her size enabling Mr. Brunel, the architect, to introduce many precautionary measures conducive both to support and security. From her keel up to six feet above the water line is double, of a cellular construction. The upper deck will also be strengthened on the same principle, and will form a complete beam, similar to the tube of j the Britannia-bridge, so that any external injury will I not affect the tightness or the safety of the ship. She is divided into ten separate water-tight compartments, each being 60 feet in length, enabling her to take out sufficient fuel for a voyage to Australia and back to England without stopping. MONEI - MARKET a ND COMATEECIAb INTELLIGENCE. CITY. TWO o'CLOCK. The sales of cotton at Liverpool yesterday were estimated -at 12,000 bales, including 4,000 American, and 1000 Surat, taken for exhort, and on speculation. The market closed very firmly atfull prices. The sales comprised 10,750 Ameri can ; 550 Pernam and Maranham at 51d. to 70. ; 100 Bahia at Gid. to 6/d. ; 300 Egyptian, at Gd. to 80. ; 3,000 Surat, at 3d. to 4d., and 300 Sea Islands at 10d. to 2s. 2d. per lb. Railway Shares were buoyant. _ _ _ All applications for the Belgian loan for less than 17,000 francs will receive 500 francs, and sub scribers of 17 to 34,000 francs will have an allot ment of 1,000 francs. The steamer Atrato brings 1,898,345 dollars in specie,- and ; the West Indian and Mexican mails. The advices from the West Indies are not of a very encouraging nature, in respect to trade at Jamaica, but one scarcely expects any improvement in that respect. The duties collected upon ruin for the first of January amounted to 3,2471. The introduction of new copper coins was affording much accommodation. The Island Notes and Ex chequer-bills were much depreciated. Referring to this, a Jamaica writer remarks : ".But we sincerely trust that the period is not now , li'stant when it will be in our power to announce that the Government has applied to Parliament for authority to guarantee a loan for this i-land, and that the prospect of an early redemption of the paper now in circulation has presented itself. With Consols at a rate which yields 31 per cent. interest, we do not despair of our four per cent. stock being taken at par. When this is done, we trust all complaints will be put an end to by the withdrawal cf the Isatid Notes, and especially and par ticularly that our trading friends will never again be ~nbjected to the inconvenience they now experience." The crops in Trelawny were abundant, and were being . fast taken in. Rum, however, owing to its relatively higher price in the London market, was more freely manufactured than sugar. Costa Rica is at present, it is said, in a more ilourishitio• state than it has ever been, and is de cidedly the most prosperous and advanced part of Central America. A magnificent steam sawmill, imported from the United States at a cost of $40,000, is now tieing erected at Putna Arenas, and will soon be completed. The crops are good and increasing every year, and the revenue of the republic is now consider ably greater than the expenses, so that the Govern ment is at present enabled to undertake several fine public works, which do much credit to the country. A very neat theatre has recently been erected at San Jose, and is under the management of Mr. Funnier, who is very successful in his per formances. A splendid public hospital is being erected at San Jose, and another at Punta Arenas. Trade throughout the country is tolerably brisk, and the country generally in a very satisfactory position. A very serious calamity occurred at San Jose on the night of the 26th February. The coffee mill of Mr. A. Joy, through some neglect, caught fire, and the entire establishment, with about 700 sacks of coffee, was totally destroyed. The loss is esti mated at $30,000. The Government of Costa Rica has ceded to Mr. Luis Bayer the privilege of fishing f or p ear l s h e ll s on the Pacific coast by submarine boats, for the ,um of $12,000 annually. It has also granted to Lhe same gentleman the privilege of extracting Jocoa nut oil from the trees which exist on the free lands of the coast, for the sum of $4,000 annually. A very neat and well compiled periodical, entitled Fl Conipilador, has been recently started in San Jose. It promises well. At the meeting of the Canada Company this day a report was presented which stated that the re ceipts from the land sold in the half year was 100,353/. 12s. 9d. The balance in hand was 85,0261. A dividend of 21. per share was declared. The English funds have been very firm again, • and rather higher even than previously. • Consols have been 941 and 94g, and since 93k to 94, the latest political intelligence regarding the alleged retirement of M. Drodyn de l'Huys being calculated to excite uneasiness. The New 31 per Cents. have been 941 to 94i, and the 3 per Cents. 931 to 94g. Exchequer Bills have been at par to 3s. premium, and the Scrip of the New Bonds at tol prem. Foreign Securities have been quiet again, but the prices are not depressed.

At ten o'clock, the ambassadress threw open her salons for the reception of a brilliant circ!e of the corps diplomatique and the aris tocracy. The visitors included nearly all the most dis tinguished leaders of fashion. ATTEMPTED SUICIDE.—This morning, at 10 o'clock, a repectable female, who refused to give her name, attempted self-destruction by drowning herself in the Thames, at Blackfriars. Just as she was in the act of sinking a waterman passing jumped out of his boat into the river and saved her life. A MAN KILLED IN TOOLEY-STREET.—This morning a man named Driscoll, aged . 55 years, who resided at Tattle-place, Bermondsey, expired in the accident ward of Guy's Hospital, from the effect of severe injuries re ceived by an immense box of iron falling on his legs, which shattered them in such a frightful manner that amputation was the only thing that would have saved his life, which he refused to have done, and by his ob stinacy:he lost his life. INTREPID CONDUCT OF A LONDON FIRE BRIGADE MAN.- —This morning two youths named Williams and Watson, residing near Bankside, were bathing in a very dangerous part of the river near Southwark-bridge, when one got into a hole, and his companion endeavoured to save him. For some time the boys were carried along with the tide, and were in the act of being sucked under a barque, when G. Legg, belonging to the firesteam floating engine near the spot, stripped off his coat and waistcoat, jumped into the boat, and succeeded in saving the lives of both. This makes the fifth time the same party has been instrumental in saving life. Ma. FRANK TUSSAUD has just completed a most excellent likeness of i Mr. G. V. Brooke, the eminent tragedian. The bust, represents Mr. Brooke in the cha racter of Virginias, one of this gentleman's most popular personations,' the Roman costume being highly charac teristic and admirably suited to busts of this class. All who know this eminent actor will be greatly pleased by the success obtained in the likeness by the young and talented artist. The bust is placed in the Wellington Room. LATEST FOREIGN NEWS. THE WAR. ASIA. Timis, May 30.—Schamyl is reported to have advanced to Kachetie. Three British" officers are with him. The Ottoman army here is being organised. Its moral state is satisfactory, and supplies are begin ning to become abundant. _ _ LT, is known, besides, that the arms- of the enemy is not numerous, and is not in a condition to assume the offensive. Trebizonde letters of the 9th make no mention of a reported defeat of the Turks beyond Redout Kaleh. THE ANGLO-FRENCH EXPEDITION TO THE EAST. VAR A, June 19.—The Duke of Cambridge has arrived between Varna and Shumla, on the Balkan. The English forces are estimated at 20,000, the French at 40,000. A letter from Constantinople, of the 15th, in the Moniteur, says :—" Some foreign journals have spread the report of the concentration of the supe rior command of the Ottoman troops in the hand, of the General-in-Chief of the French troops, and of dissensions having taken pl ace on t h e subject between Omer Pacha and Marshal de St. Arnaud. These reports are totally unfounded. Omer Pacha preserves the fullness of his command ; and, in their first interview at Varna, the three commanders of the allied 'armies came entirely and without diffi culty to an understanding on all the combinations which they had to concert." RUSSIANS ON THE AUSTRIAN FRONTIER. On the 25th, says a telegraphic despatch frOin . Vienna, the Cossack picquets entered far into the Rothenthurm pass, in Transylvania. In several places on the Transylvanian frontier supplies for the Russian cavalry have been col lected. RUSSIANS DEFEATED BY BASHI- BAZOUKS. • The Journal of Constantinople confirms the suc cesses of the troops at Silistria. Three thousand Bashi-Bazouks, who had taken a Russian outpost, had been attacked by a Russian force triple their number. After a desperate struggle 1,500 of them were killed, Asham Bey among them. The Russians lost 1,400. MOVEMENTS OF THE CZAR. Letters from Berlin, dated on the 27th, confirm the report that the Emperor Nicholas and the Czarowitch are about to proceed to Kiew, to be near the approaching military operations. ALBANIA. PREVESA, June 10.—The Derbend Aga, at Arta, has been arrested, and a commissary has gone to arrest some Albanian chieftains at Paramythia, who had ill-treated the Christians. CONCENTRATION OF RUSSIAN FORCES EXPEDITION AGAINST THE CRIMEA APPREHENDED; The Transylvanian Messenger states from Cron stadt, near Moldavia, that the Russian offic e rs commanding the detachments stationed along the frontiers of that province have received orders to transmit to head-quarters all the information they can glean respecting the movements of the Aus trian troops. The posts of C6ssacks have been withdrawn from the frontier, and concentrated at Roman. Various rumours are in circulation a' Jassy as to the motive of the concentration of Rus sian troops in Moldavia. Many persons look upon it as a preliminary step to the evacuation of the principalities ; the Russians, it is said, are to retir , into Bessarabia, in order to march upon the Crimea which is considered likely to become the theatre of offensive operations on the part of the Anglo- French forces. The Lloyd of Vienna, under date of Vienna, 14th, says :—" The Russians have rendered tht Strait of Kercht, close to Odessa, inaccessible to ships of war, by sinking 32 large barges laden with stones. There will be exchange of Russian anti English prisoners, as notice has been received from St. Petersburg that the Government consents to it." A letter from Schumla states that the auxiliary troops, in concert with the fleet, and under tht personal command of Marshal Saint Arnaud, art certainly to undertake an expedition against tht Crimea. 200 transports are being prepared in con sequence at Varna and at Baltschuk. TURKISH LOAN. The Moniteur says—" Mr. Black and M. Durand are empowered to negotiate in France and England on account of the Sublime Porte a loan that will have to be ratified by the representatives of the Sultan at Paris and London." AUSTRIAN LOAN. The Austrian loan will, it is said, probably be made public on Tuesday next ; 500,000,000 of florins are spoken of as the maximum, and 350,000,000 as the minimum amount. PERSIA. The Lloyd of Vienna says :—" Tho armament of the Persians continues; 10,000 regular and 20,000 irregular troops are to be assembled on the Aran which forms the boundary between Persia and Russia. The attitude assumed by Persia towards Russia becomes every day more and more threaten ing. Letters from Teheran state that Persia de mands the restitution of the provinces of Nakitchavan and Erivan which were ceded to Russia by old treaties." CONSTANTINOPLE. By the arrival of the Indus we have advices from Constantinople to the 20th inst. The embarkation of French troops for Varna continued. The terms of the treaty between Austria and Turkey had transpired. They lay down that the ancient order of things shall be re-established in the Principalities, without admitting a control over the measures taken by the Austrian troops. Military measures will be concerted between the two Powers signing the treaty. The evacuation of the Principalities to take place on the conclu sion of peace. The latter to be based upon the maintenance of the sovereignty of the Sultan and the integrity of the Ottoman empire. Prince Napoleon's division has left for Varna. CONSTANTINOPLE, June 19.—Reschid Paella still transacts diplomatic business. Schekib Effendi presides over the administrative department of the Foreign-office. It is hoped that a new French loan will be concluded. A letter from Constanti nople of the 15th says :—" The last accounts from the coasts of Circassia announce that a lieutenant of Schamyl had stopped, in a gorge of the moun tains, the Russian troops who were effecting their retreat from the fortresses of the coast to join the principal corps of the Russian Caucasian army at Tiflis. A sanguinary combat took place, and the Russians were defeated by the Circassians, with a loss of four guns. Three Polish gentlemen, Messrs. Tanski, Bodoski, and Gradovich, left Con stantinople on the 14th for Bulgaria, having been sent on a mission by Marshal St. Arnaud, in order to furnish him with all the information they caii collect with regard to the Russian army, and also on the subject of the state of feeling in Bulgaria, where Muscovite agents are actively intriguing, though, it is said, without success. Workmen are actively employed in fitting up the new hospital which has been provided for the French troops, aryl it was expected that it would be ready in a few days for the reception of its inmates. It is a very extensive building, and capable of accommodating 2,000 patients. It is well situated, not far from the sea, and of very easy access for any sick who may be brought by steamers from the army. A few days ago a su spicious-looking person was ar rested near the powder magazine established in the old chateau of Gallipoli. He is said to be a Rus sian spy, and had gone there for the purpose of settinc , fire to the wooden building, by w hi c h th e whole would have been blown up. The health of Reschid Pacha is said to have lately consider ably improved. Some more Greek vessels have been captured in the Black Sea with supplies on board of them for the Russian army. The march of Prince Napoleon's division from Gallipoli to Constantinople was an exceedingly fatiguing one, and, in particular, the part of it from Gallipoli to Radosto. A company of Sappers, and another of Chasseurs of Vincennes, marched in front to clear away obstacles, and make a road in such places as none existed. It was necessary to throw bridges over some places, to fill up some enormous holes in others, and, in fact, to perform the office of pioneers in the fullest acceptation of the word. But in the midst of all these difficulties, the utmost gaiety prevailed.. In one place was to be seen in scribed with chalk, on a huge piece of rock by the roadside, the following words in large letters— ' High road from Gallipoli to Moscow, No. I,' and the bons-mots uttered would delight a vaudevillist. There are very few ill, but I regret to say that five soldiers of the marine infantry died on the march. Still every possible precaution had been taken to have nothing wanting on the road, and the Prince carries to a degree of extraordinary minuteness his attention to the comforts of the men. The Walla chians have at last obtained permission to form a legion, which is to be placed under the command of General Maierm. As he is exceedingly popular, , it will b be easy enough for him to collect a force of - - - - 12,000 men. Turkey will, however, have to supPu them with arms and equipment." In addition to the ab,,ve information from Co?' atantinople, a letter of two days' later date has reached Paris, v i a M a l ta, . brought by the English steamer the Admiral, and from thence to Mar' s9illes by the usual packet. On the 17th the Caradoc, which had taken Lord Raglan t ° Varna, returned to Const an ti nop l e . That ve ssel , announced. that on the 16th th e a llied fle ets still at Baldjick, and th e T urc o-Egypti an fleet at Cavarna ; she also brought the lut e '"i; Bence of another assault on Silistria, so that ° ege the 17th the news of the raising o f the el, . t was still unknown at Constantinopl e . The division of the English troops took their depar ture for Varna on the 17th. The Russian priso ner : who had been brought by the Sidon and the Cyclo t o were transferred to the Megere„ to be conveyed Malta. They amount to about 220, some of svil°, o are officers, and others Greek sailors-. All a o Greek vessels which arrive from the Black Sea 1 1 !, 0 the Danube are seized, and their crews confined in the arsenal. The blockade of the SulinacontinPr but all the vessels hitherto taken at that point.lr the English and French have been let goy having been subjected to a strict search at Bald•P c io or Varna. It was rumoure•i at Cons-,antine% that Itifaat Pacha, who had succeeded Mussa Po" at Silistria, was killed in a sortie. LETTER FROM THE BRITISH CAMP, NEAR VARNA.. We extract the following from the letters of t he special correspondent of the Times : Vat " Camp at Aladyn, near Varna, J une 12 —The las t division received orders to march at five o'clock on T t Saturday morning. It rained all th e p r evious nigu; and early in the morning Captain Pearson, A.D•C' Sir George Brown, rode out to countermand the mar e . for some reasons which appeared good to the authoritied at Varna, and which may be supposed to have alt e i r ,,, c h the intentions of Marshal St. Arnaud and the E"g` : '",• General.
