THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY .EVENING, OCTOBER 25, 1864. HEALTH OP LONDON DURING THE WEEK. THE TRADE 01 RUSSIA THROUGH .NEUTBAL PORTS. The measures taken by the Allied Governments at the commencement of the present war with re ference to the trade of the enemy through neutral ports, and even with the subjects of the belligerent Powers, undoubtedly involved a wide departure from those severe principles of maritime law which this country had contended for and enforced in all previous contests. It may, indeed, be said that, practically, no war has ever interfered so little with the course of trade as the present one, and, after the experience of seven months, some opinion may be formed of the results of this new system. These results do not materially differ, except in one re spect, which we shall presently notice, from those which we anticipated when first we had occasion to discuss her Majesty's declaration of the 28th of March, and the Order in Council of April. We were perfectly aware that, in waiving the right of seizing enemy's property laden on board neutral vessels, and in allowing all goods and merchandise whatsoever, and to whoms oever the same mi g ht belong, to be imported under a neutral or friendly flag into any part of her Majesty's dominions, the Allied Governments bad left open a broad and easy c h an nel to the tee of the enemy, with this and other countries, limited only by such restrictions as might be put upon it by blockade ; and it wou ld be the height of inconsistency to make it a matter of complaint that these measures have produced the effect which they were calculated to bring about. On the one hand, no doubt, the enemy has suffered leas than he had reason to anticipate by the closing of his export trade ; and the rate of the exchanges between St. Petersburg and London show that a large amount of gold is still being re mitted to Russia is exchange for its produce ; but, on the other hand, large classes of our own country men—and, indeed, the whole community—have been benefitted by the supply of hemp, flax, tallow, and linseed, which has reached us through the neutral ports ; and the burdens of the war have, been borne with the more ease and goodwill, be cause the industrial activity and wealth of the, country have not suffered from this state of hos tilities. In short, it is impossible to inflict a severe loss on the commerce of the enemy without parti cipating in that loss to a great extent ourselves, since we are in ordinazy times his principal cus tomers ; and it is a mere question of national ex pediency whether the injury - we do ourselves is more than counterbalanced by the pressure we can apply to the resources of our antagonist. One thing is certain, that it is absurd to apply restrictions on the trade of this country to which the trade of neutral States is not subject, for that would be to damage our own interests, while the indirect trade of Russia would remain free to the rest of the world: The British Government, acting in con _ junction with that of France, and having in view the pretensions of many of the neutral States, had no option as the waiver of the right to take enemy's property out of neutral vessels, for that principle was one which the French Government would not abandon, and which we ourselves had frequently recognised by treaty, though not in actual warfare. Moreover, even if that right of prohibiting neutrals from carrying enemy's property could have been enforced in all its ancient rigour, it would not have prevented neutrals from carrying the same commodities in the name of a neutral owner—a practice to which the law of nations can oppose no insuperable barrier. Consequently, the only belli g gent right which we had it in our power to en turce against the trade of the enemy, by whomsoever it was carried on, was the right of blockade. On this point, however, the actual results have been widely different from those we were led to anti cipate, and the merchants of this country,as wallas the publie at large, have great reason to complain of the confusion and obscurity which mark all the acts and communications of the Admiralty on this subject. It was generally understood that, when the British Government assented to the wishes of France on the question of enemy's goods in neutral bottoms, we re quired and obtained from France an engagement that the right of blockadeshould be strictly applied to all the ports of the Black Sea, the White Sea, and the Baltic ; and it was naturally concluded that joint and complete instructions had been sent out to the Admirals, pointing out exactly where the blockade was to be put on, and to what extent it was to be carried. We are compelled to infer from the known results, either that no such precise instructions were sent out, or that they were not executed. In the Baltic a blockade of the Russian ports has been enforced, but it was tardily notified by Sir Charles Napier, and its effect is in a great measure defeated by the proximity of the Prussian ports. In the White Sea, where it might have been absolute, we believe that 300 or 400 vessels were permitted to to bring out their cargoes ; and in the Black Sea, where the ports north of the Danube and in the Sea of Azoff might also have been hermetically sealed, no blockade whatever has been established or notified, except at the mouth of the Danube, which we ought, on the contrary, to have opened, not closed, when the Russians left the Principalities. We cannot tell who is to blame for this extraor dinary and unexpected omission, which is at vari ance with the express public declarations of the Government ; but, if any doubt existed on the subject, the Government had it in its power to remove that doubt by precise and authoritative instructions. The result has been that our own trade has suffered under the erroneous impres sion that a blockade had been or would be established, while the Russian exports have gone on as usual through the Greek houses at Constan tinople, who will realise enormous profits at our expense. In truth, then, the system of relying exclusively on blockade as a means of repression on the trade of the enemy has not been fairly tried, because the blockade itself has been singularly lax and inoperative. It is, however, a question of great moment, which is anxiously discussed in the mercantile . world, and is said to be under the consideration of the Government, to determine whether any, and, if any, what measures ought to be taken to p lace further restrictions on the t ra d e o f the enemy. Upon the principles already adopted, it will not be disputed that the blockade ought to be rigorously enforced, and we have a right to ask why that has not already been done ? But, in addition to the blockade, we know of only two other modes of proceeding—either to prohibit the importation of etussian produce into this country, or to adopt belligerent measures against those States which, under the cover of neutrality, are rendering im portant services to the enemy. With reference to the proposed prohibition of Russian produce into this country, we aro aware that it is strongly urged by one class of persons whose interest in the matter is easily perceptible—namely, by merchants and others who are holders of this produce, and who would immediately run up the price of their stocks of hemp and tallow to twice the present rate ; and we are told, large speculations in these articles have been going on under the belief that the Govern ment would be driven to resort to some such mea pure. But this fact is in itself a strong argument ikgainst such a restriction, and it is clear that the c ost of it would fall on the consumer and manufac turer in this country much more than on the Rus sian producer ; for, as this prohibition would only close the ports of the B ritish empire, and per haps those of France, against Russian produce, the trade of Russia with the rest of the world would go on with the same facility as at present in neutral bottoms, and we should impose on ourselves a privation in which other countries would not share. Moreover, a trade which must • then be regulated by certificates of origin and special licenses opens the door to every species of equivocation, contraband, and fraud. :The second expedient is to resort to coercive measures against those ports which serve by their geographical po sition all the purposes of Russian ports in a neu tral territory. These ports are exclusively the ports of the old province of Prussia Proper, being part of the king dom of Prussia, but spec i a ll y ex cluded i n 181 5 from the territory of the Germanic Confeder a ti on , neutral in the pre sent long as Prussia remains a e rights we hav e r sent war she is entitled to all the does not eeognised in neutral States, but it depend on Prussia alone to determine whether she i s a ventral or a belligerent, and she might render services important a charact er t t o h ilu w 3S e ia of so in declining to inveat at - positive and should be justified privileges. The he rrestrictio ns which longer with neutral aga r which the belligerent Powers could resort to u t t r h: f r ors n e e e4 ust, however, be acts of war, and would, with very important political be attended uences. We do not say that she should therecZ be permitted to pursue an unjust and injuei eu r s e course, but it should be borne in mind that the events of the next few mouths, and possibly o f the weeks, will probably next f ew define more c l earl y tion of the German Powers towards R y n t s h s i e , , p e o n ai d that the question of trade in the produce of the enemy through German ports will follow the cou rse of policy which may prevail in Germany whe n the navigation of the Baltic reopens next sprin g . i f any of the leading German Powers are then at war with Russia, they will leave a common interest with ourselves in stopping the, A - _raie which they nor so materially assist ; and if, on the contrary, they still lend a clandestine' support to Russia, under the mask of neutrality, it will become ne cessary to consider on general giounds the effects of that ambiguous attitude on the conduct and 'duration of the war.—Times. The Cologne Gazette notices a rumour current at Bras• sets, according to which Prince Napoleon, the heir pre sumptive to the French throne, is about to espouse the daughter of King Leopold, A grandchild of Louts (Prom the Report of the Registrar-General. ) The deaths registered in London, which in the first two weeks of October were 1532 and 1394, declined in the week that ended last Saturday to 1321. In the ten weeks of the years 1844-53, corresponding to lsst week, the average number was 942, which, being raised in pro • portion to the increase of population, becomes 1036. About 300 persons died last week more than could he estimated from the experience of former years at the middle of October. Last week the deaths from cholera were 163. The mortality from the epidemic declines, but sot so rapidly as in the same month of 1849. In three weeks of Octo- her in that year the deaths were 283, 110, and 41 ; in the last three weeks of the existing epidemic they have been 411, 249, and 163. Fatal eases of diarrhoea and dysentery were 102 and 106 in the first two weeks of the present month ; last week they declined to 83.

Yesterday the crews of the Investigator, Resolute, Assistance, Intrepid, and Pioneer were paid off at Wool wich. The men were upwards of 200 in number. Their appearaice did not give the slightest indication of the hardships and privations which many of them are known to have endured for several monthi in the Arctic Re gions. On the contrary, they seemed much more like men fitted to take part in a new enterprise than persons who had just returned from one of the most perilous and vexatious expeditions that man could be exposed to. The amount of money distributed amongst the crews was between 20,0001. and 30,0001. The wages of the Investigator's crew, after five years' service, averaged about 1501. per man. The crews of the other ships of coarse received less, their period of service averaging only about 2i years. Notwithstanding the temptations which the possession of such a considerable sum of money must have offered, it in highly creditable to the moral discipline of the crews that scarcely a Case of drunken. noes occurred during the day. Advantage was taken of the occasion to present Dr. Armstrong, the surgeon of the Investigator, with a gold chronometer and appendages, which the petty officeri., seamen, and marines determined to purchase fur him previous to quitting the ship, as a mark of their high estimation for kis services as medical officer during the •oyage. The gift, which had a representation of the Investigator imbedded in the ice chased on one side, and on the other an appropriate inscription acknowledging Dr. Armstrong's professional skill and uniform kindness to the crew. It was accompanied by the following ad dress, which was read by Mr. JAMES NELSON in the Ship Hotel : " We, the undersigned petty officers, seamen, and marines late of her Majesty s ship Investigator, cannot part after so lengthened a service is the Arctic regions, without havine , the gratification of expressing to you, sir, in a body, and, a es publicly as possible, the unqualified respect and admiration which we all entertain of the manner in which you have always acted towards us, under circumstances of the most trying nature. "There are few, if any of us, who have not at corns time experienced your kindness at the sick-bed ; ;mine who have, under Providence, to thank your skill awl attention fur their lives ; but above all your constant assidsity and unwearied zeal, to those departed ship mates, whom it has pleased the Almighty to take from us, can never be forgotten. •'Those who have never experienced, like ourselves, so lengthened a period of hunger, monotony, and total deprivation of all communication with the world, cam form n• idea of the eensolatioa your untiring goodness has afforded ; more than half the horrors of sickness, under such circumstances, have thus been spared us, for which alone you are more than entitled to our affection and esteem, and we do assure you such feelings will ever remain fre-di in our hearts ; but we wish you also, air, to retain a remembrance of your humble but grateful admirers, and that, when (as will soon be the case) we are widely separated, you sometimes think of those with wham you have passed so many years, not unprofitably. " We, therefore, in the name of the ship's company (who have affixed their signatures), beg your acceptance of this little testimonial, hoping that you may be spared to retain it mazy years in your possession, and wear it for our sakes. " In wishing you good bye, sir, we all unite in the fervent hope that God may bless you. " James Williams, C.H., Michael Flynn . , Gr. Ms., Robert Tiffany, C. M. Top, Cornelius Hullott, C. Cox, H.

Dr. ARMSTRONG, in reply, said :—I feel deeply touched by the very flattering address which you have just now read, and the presentation of the valuable gift by which it is aecompanied. That during our long and trying service together, you should consider me in any degree worthy of being thus so highly honoured, is to ins, I assure you, most truly gratifying. Until a few days ago T was not aware of your intention, nor had I the slightest idea that such an honour awaited me, when an earnest request was made that I would allow this act of yours to become public, to which I have felt bound to accede. (" You deserve it.") I can lay claim to no higher merit than an anxious desire which I ever felt to be my duty, but that, even under our worst cir cumstances, was made to me a comparatively easy task by the bravest and the best ship's company that ever left England. The world knows something of what you have done, but nothing of what you have suffered. (" That's true, sir.") I .have witnessed your courage and your daring when destruction so often appeared inevitable. I have seen you in health, and I know you in sickness, and but too truly have I known the hunger which you so leng felt, when it lay not in my power to allay it. Then it was that you displayed all the higher qualities of our nature by the heroic patience and fortitude with which you bore your privations and suffering, and manifested in such a remarkable degree that discipline and noble conduct which proved you to be true British sailors. These are deeds worthy to rival any recorded in the brighest page of the history of our navy, and certain do I feel that when they aro fully and truthfully known, you will receive not only the gra titude but the admiration of your country, and well may that country be proud of such defenders. The loss of our departed shipmates we must always deplore ; they fell from the effects of what we all more or less suffered from, and that, too, at a time when the dark and dreary days of trial and adversity had passed, and when relief had so providentially reached us. Your valuable gift is one of which any man may be proud, and believe me I am, tut more par ticularly coining from such a body of men as the petty officers, seamen, and marines of the Investigator have proved themselves to be. I shall always wear it, as you wish me, although it is unnecessary to possess aught to remind me that I once served with you, and well may I be justly proud of such a grateful offering from such generous hearts. You will not only now ac cept my sincere thanks for being considered to have in any degree merited this handsome proof of your grati• tilde, but be eaten ed that I shall ever remain sensible of the respectful kindness and attention which I have al ways received from yon throughout our long and event ful-commission. Our voyage, unparalleled as it is, has not, I hope with you, been (at least in one respect) unprofitable, hut made us all wiser and better men, and that in our future lives and conduct, we shall remember how often and miraculously Providence protected us, and from that we have not been unworthy of His mercy and gcolnefs. It only remains for me to say farewell ; we may never meet again, but from ray heart believe me that you carry with you my best and warmest wishes that every comfort and happiness may be yours. (Cheers.) The chronometer and chain having been presented to Dr. Armstrong, Mr. Num:at turned round to Lieutenant Bedford Pim, who was present as the friend of Dr. Armstrong, and said, " Were it not for you, sir, many of tie now present would never have seen Ohl England again. All of us look upon you as our deliverer, and none of us will forget the joy we felt when you reached us." (liar, hear.) Lieutenant PIM, in reply, said—l thank you, my lads. I shall never forget our meeting. I congratu late you most heartily upon your escape front a fate similar to that of poor Sir John Franklin. I hope you will now enjoy yourselves to your hearts' content ; and next spring I dare say we shall meet again under the walls of Cronstadt, or perhaps in St. Petersburg itself, (Cheers.) The most hearty and warm feeling was reciprocated between Dr. Armstrong and the men on the occasion ; and he and Lieutenant Pim bid them an a ff ectionate I farewell on retiring.

The two hired transports William and Flora arrived at Spithead on Monday evening from Quebec, with the 66th Regiment, in charge of Sir William Gordon, Bart., Lieutenant-Colonel, and Licutenant-Colenel Grubbs. The ships sailed in company from Quebec on the 30th of September, and on the lith of October encountered a se•fere sale. The officers and men are all in robust health, and no accident of any kind has occurred to either daring the voyage. The remains of the late Admiral Sir B. Martin are to leave Portsmouth to-day, to be conveyed by railway to Kensal-green Cemetery, where they are to rest. The commander-in-chief, Vice Admiral Sir Thomas Cochrane, went out in the Vivid to-day and inspected the Powerful, 84, CAptairi Ma36o. FALMOUTH, Oct, 24.—The Colossus, 80, screw steamer, anchored three miles off Pendennis on Monday after noon. She commenced setting up rigging, sail fixed her funnel. She will sail immediately for the West Indies. An official application has been snide to the Admi ralty for permision that the Russian and Finnish offi cers who left Sheerness on parole for Lewes may he per mitted leave on parole to visit Loddoo ; and further, that the younkers (as cadets) may also be permitted to enjoy the same privilege. A satisfactory answer has been received, granting the boon asked for by them. Several of the officers and a great number of the younkers attended Divine service at the dookyard chapel, Sheer ness, every Sunday while they were there, when the weather permitted them to be sent on shore from the Devonshire and Benbow. MILITARY. DIATH OF GENERAL ACIDDLETON.—The death of Major General Middleton took place at his residence, Reeky hill-terrace, Maidstone, en Sunday morning last. Gen.

Em ployed also at the taking of Djocjocarta, and all the subsequent operationx which took place on that island under the gallant Gillespie. Was in the field with the 22d Light Dragoons in 1815 and 1816, and during the whole of the Mahratta war of 1817, 'lB, and 'l9, was present with the division of the late Sir Thomas Munro at the capture of the forts of Danmul, Dorwar, Bedamme, Belgaum, and Shallapore, at which place he was severely wounded.

WINDSOR, Oct. U.—The force in garrison here is 600 strong, arid is under the command of Mujer Spitty, eulonel-commandant having bees appointed since the death of Viscount Jocelyn, who formed the eorpo. The grenadier and light cornimaies of the 18th Royal Irish share the Sheet-street barracks with the Essex Rifles, and take part of the duties. This arrangement will con tinue for about a month, when the Rifles will be relieved by the Royal Busks (King's Own) Regiment of Militia, now quartered tit Weedon under the command of Col. Lord Oarington. The Bucks Militia will not remain in Windsor more than a month, and by that time (the middle of December) the Emperor and Empress of the French are expected en a visit to her Majesty at Wind sor, and it will then become a question whether a batta lion of the Guard■ should occupy the infantry barracks, or whether the remainder of the 18th Regiment, new lying at Chadians, should not be transferred to Wind sor. This afternoon the Essex Rifles had a grand field day in the Great Park. The additional medical staff for the army in Turkey has already left the metropolis, to proceed to Constanti nople, via Marseilles, where they embark on board the Vectis to-morrow morning. ThC total number of medical men who go out in this ship is 30. Among them are Dr. Spence and Dr. Cumming, Inspectors-General of , Hospitals, and ten staff•surgeons. Five men are ordered to he added to each troop of every regiment of cavalry. COURT-MARTIAL AT BALARLAVA. At a general court-martial held at Ealaklara on the 30th September, 1854, by order of Gener‘l Lord Rag lan, G.C.E.- c ommanciing the force■ in the Crimea, and of which Colonel Hen. G. Upton, Coldstream Guards, wa• president, Assistant Surgeon Stuart Moore, 6th Dragoon Guards, was tried upon the following CHABOH. " For gross neglect of duty and disobedience of orders in having failed , on or a bout the evening of the 22 d Septemiions General 54' to call at th e t en t o f -D r. H a ll, In spector of Hospitals, his su p er i or o ffi cer , for final previous to go i ng on b oar d s hi p i n n b s e t r r u , c l t charge of the wounded to Scutari, when ordered by Dr. Hall to do se." FINDING. " The court, baying maturely weighed and considered the evidence before it, together with what the prisoner has urged in his defence, are of opinion that the prisoner is not guilty of the charge preferred against him, and do therefore acquit him of the same. (Signed) "G. UPTON, Coldstream Guards, President. , " Confirmed (Signed) " RAGLAN." REMARKS BY THI COMMANDIR OF THE FORCES. " The Commander of the Forces has confirmed the finding of the general court-martial on Assistant- Surgeon S. Moore, 6th Dragoon Guards, but be has felt himself compelled to with;,old his approval of it, the evidence given in support of the charge having fully established to his satisfaction that the prisoner had received an order .from the head of the medical depart ment which h. had failed to obey. Upon an occasion on which many wounded mon had been placed on boardand required the utmost care and attention, the medical officer selected to accompany them wa■ found to be absent. This arose from Assistant-Surgeon Moore not having reported himself to Dr. Hall on the 22d, as spe cially ordered ; and thus an important service was neglected, and the vessel was prevented sailing at the time appointed. " Obedience to orders is the first duty of an officer under all circumstances ; but it is more particularly that of a medical dicer after an action—when the com fort and even the lives of the wounded, in a great degree depend upon his close attendance, his ability, and his humane exertions to assuage their sufferings. " Assistant Surgeon Moore is released from arrest, and will return to his duty." [Anvianstmerrl—Supplement, gratis, with the Weekly Dispatch of Sunday, October 29th.

THE ISUBSCRIPTIOX ROOM AT NIGHT. MONDAY (CONCLUDED). Speculation on the Cambridgeshire fluctuated in so extraordinary a manner that we cannot vouch for the accuracy of the following statement, maths up front our list of quotations at the close. We have, however, no doubt that it will be found ruffimently near the truth. Only the leading favourite, Rattle, held a firm posi tion-7 to 2 offered, and 4to 1 taken. Orinoco oscil lated between 5 and 7, and Heroine, who was third favourite in the afternoon, was driven front 12 to 1 to 50 to 1. Scherz, at one. time, receded to 20 to 1, but re• turned to 100 to G ; he bad, nevertheless, numerous opponents. Quince and Speed the Plough were alter nately up at 25 to 1 each and down to 33 to 1 each. Offers of 100 to 1 extinguished all lopes of Helena, and Stone h enge was coupled with Heroine in a bet of 50 to 1. Whilst these operations were going on, Little Harry was introduced lay a powerful party, who began by taking 20 to 1 to some money, and their example had quickly the effect of advancing him to 15 to 1--the high est offer at the close was only 12 ts 1. Piiine Minister, Vindex, and Little David were backed for some small sums at 25 to 1 each, and 12 to 1 was taken about John Osborne's lot. • DERBY. 12 to 1 apt Grreeulus Esurien•. 12 to 1 apt Lord of the Isles (to 2001). 1000 to 20 agst The Nailer (taken). 1000 to 15 agst Polydora colt (taken).

Sellers made all the running, followed by Rattle and Quince, The Assayer lying on their right, Little Harry on the lower side. In pretty neatly the same order they arrived halfway between the Duke's Stand and the chair. Scherz and Rattle then singled them selves out ; the latter made a very resolute effort, but was at last beaten by a head ; an interval of five lengths separated the second from the third ; D.O. was fourth, Litle Harry fifth, and Orinoco about seventh.

A length and a half between the second and third. Hungerford was fourth. The attendance on the Heath and the interest that was manifested showed that the " Cambridgeshire Day" had lest nothing of its attractive character. The sport was r a w t i e fi a c t a h t e i o r n w o a fs theall t m h e a r t e c p e l u e e l4l . haves a u m e l e s b e ea e e k nad e r iv a eas n ri d ireedd, for f oa t rn h dt e h b et us hge iness operations of the profes sional speculator. The Cambridgeshire was won cleverly by Scherz—a horse bred in Germany, and, until he ran for the Cesare• witch, only known in England by the reports which had occasionally been heard of his continental achievements. Ho was ridden by Birbeck, a jockey who accompanied him from Germany, and on returning to scale his suc cuss was greeted with long and hearty cheers. Spe culation, before its close,•was marked by only one new incident, but it was one that was as extraordinary ov• unexpected. The Nancy fever again broke out, and she was supported with so much spirit and confidence that, from the extreme outside division, she was ad vanced to a prominent position amongst the fa vourites. Rattle kept firm to the last. The result was little favourable to the Ring, Schers having been heavily . backed. After the race, Mr. Dennett, the owner of Rattle, ob jected to the winner on the ground of age. The Messrs. Barrow were therefore called in to examine the horse's mouth, and they certified that he is a three-yr-old, and consequently properly described. YALU'S OP LAND IN THI EASTIRN DISTRICTS 07 LONDON.—The banks of the Thames above and below the east and West India Decks being nearly exhausted for wharfage purposes, the increase of new wharfs on the River Lee, for some miles up, has been of late years very remarkable ; and land that was oily a marsh cannot now be bought under 1,0001. an acre. New towns are springing up in the direction of Stratford And Bow, every available field being eagerly sought for, for building ope• rations. The Conservative Land Society has just acquired a valuable oritate at Old Ford, in the parish of St. Mai'', Stratford-le Bow, within the borough of the Tower Hamlets.
