THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, S:,' OFFICIAL DESPATCHES FROM SIR CHARLES NAPIER. :FROM A SUPPLEMENT TO TUESDAY'S GAZETTE.] ADMIRALTY, SEPT. 6. Despatches, of which the following are copies or ex tracts, have been received from Vice-Admiral Sir Charles Napier, K.O 8., Croutnander-in-Chief of her Majesty's ships and vessels in the Baltic : RECONNAISSANCE OF THE ENEMY'S GUN-BOATS AND STEAMERS AT ABO. No. 410. Duke of Wellington, Led Sund, Aug. 27. SIR, —Having received information that Russian troops Nnd gun-boats were amongst the islands, I sent Captain So At with a suiali squadron, its per margin*, to find them out, and I beg to enclose his very able report. 2. Captain Scott threaded his way through the islands in a most persevering manner, as their lordships will see by the clrirt I send; his ships were repeatedly on shore, and the Odin no less than nine times, before they disco vei ed the enemy's gun-boats and steamers lying behind a floating boom, supported on each side by batteries and a number of troops, covering the town of Abo, where they have co)lected a large force. 3. I take this opportunity of bringing under their lord ships' notice the very great exertions of the surveying offi cers, Captain Sulivan, assisted by Mr. Evans, master of the Lightning, and Commander Otter of the Alban ; and I have no hesitation in saying, that it is owing to their exertions this fleet have found their way, with compara tively little damage, into creeks and corners, never in tended for ships-of-the-line; day and night have they worked successfully. Commander Otter is an old officer, and well worthy of promotion, and Captain Sulivan and his assisting surveyor deserve the protection of their lord ships.—l have, &c., CHAS. NAPIER, Vice• Admiral and Commander-in• Chief. The Secretary of the Admiralty, London. Enclosure No. 1 in Sir Charles Napier's Letter No. 410. Her Majesty's ship Odin, Led Sund, August 25, 1854. - - Sir,—l have the honour to stato that in pursuance of your orders, dated the 18th of August, I proceeded with her Majesty's ships Odin, Alban, Gorgon, and Driver, un der my command, towards Kumbliuge, and the islands east of it. 2. Having procured a pilot .at Dagerby, we felt our way on with boats, and leach through a most difficult and intricate navigation, in the course of which every ship has been on shore (Gorgon and Odin frequently), but we hope with no further injury than that done to the cop per in various places. 3. At Kumblinge and the adjacent islands I was unable to obtain any information of troops or gunboats, but learnt on Sunday, at Asterholm, that a small fast steamboat from Abo was in our immediate vicinity. 4. Rather than return to your flag without intelligence, I resolved to attempt a passage to Abo, and on Monday at daylight, leaving the larger ships at anchor, I took all the , masters in the Alban, surveyed and buoyed off a passage for ten miles to Bergham, and then returned for the other ships, but the Gorgon grounding, delayed us for that night. 5. On Tuesday we,matle our way iu safety into the com paratively open track to Abo, beyond Bergham ; at two p.m., observed a small steamer watching us, and at three p.m., several gun boats moving a body of troops from the point (o.te and a half miles to the north-west) up to the chain across the narrow entrance to the harbour. - 6. — Having approached to within 3,000 yards the Alban stood in to sound. The entrance of the hal hour was closed by two impediments, the one in front appeared to be a chain laid on a floating platform, the other a stakes and booms, between which the gun-boats were stationed at regular intervals, and the steatn-vessels (four in number) were under the shelter of the points. 7. About 4 p.m. the Alban fired the first shell, which burst over one of the gun-boats. I then commenced firing, and was followed at intervals by Gorgon and Driver, bu' with little or no effect that we could discover, except that of fully answering my purpose in drawing a return from the niaskod b.itteries and gun-boats. Only one of the for• iner at the end of the boom mounted a gun or guns of largo calibre and long range, but which was concealed from our view by a point of land. The others, three in number, about one mile to the west of the boom, as far as we could judge, did not in any one case mount more than five, or less than three small guns. A fort, of apparently , eight or nine large guns, at a distance, constructed to en filade b.,th passages, tired repeatedly, but the shot iuvaria bly fell a very short distance beyond the south end of Little It- ckbolin. 8. As my object was not to attack Abo, but to examine its defences, 1 contented myself with firing a shot occa sionally at the gun boat., or whatever looked like a masked battery. In the meantime Com:aander Otter, in the most zealous and gallant manner, after going as close as it was prudent in the Alban, pill:NI in with his gig, soundimi just within range of the gun boats and batteries, which were all the time keeping up a constant fire. 9. The sum of the information I have been able to obtain with his assistance, and that of Commanders Creeroft and Hobart amount to this—seventeen row boats, two guns each, and about twenty oars on each side, four steam ves sels (all small), two having the flag with cross anchors in it, and another was observed steaming away through the Channel to the eastward of Beckholm. Three (if not fonr) masked batteries, and another I think in course of construction, for the position of which I refer you to the very clear delineation executed by Commander Otter. 10. Thu Channel appears to be very narrow, wid the thick woods were evidently full of sehliers. We learnt that our arrival had been anticipated (as we expected, knowing that we had been watched by a steamer for some days), and that four thousand additional troops had been sent on the previous day, and five thousand more were ex pected to arrive on the following day ; that there wore six steamers, five small and one large (the latter we did not see), and eighteen boats and two guns, and eighty men, besides soldiers in each. The weather was so bad on Thursday, that I was de tained under Berge, and went into Botnarsund this morn ing ; when, having communicated with Captain Warden, and received his despatches, I proceeded to join your flag. I have only to add my very anxious hope that my pro ceedings may meet with the approbation of the Corn manderdn-Chief.—l have, &c., . . FRANCIS SCOTT, Captain, Vice-Admiral Sir Charles Napier, K.C.8., Commander-in-Chief, &e. &c. Enclosure No. 2 in Sir Charles Napier's Letter, No. 4!0. Her Majesty's ship Odin, Led Send, Aug. 25, 1854. Sin,—ln returning to your flag from detached service with the squadron you did me the honour to place under my orders, it is my gratifying duty to express to you how well and ably I have been supported by Commanders Otter, Cracroft, and Hobart, in their respective ships, during my late examination of Abo and its defences, and engagement with the batteries and gun-boats at that place ; and I beg to offer my humble testimony to their ability, zeal, and great exertions during a week of very difficult and harassing duties. I desire most particularly to call your attention to the services performed by Commander Otter during that time. Nothing but the most unceasing and labia "rious efforts of a clever, indefatigable, and zealous officer could have performed the.thities I required of him, and which alone enabled me to obtain the information here with enclosed, and to examine a place so difficult of access and so little known as Abo, in the limited time to which I was restricted by you. Under the above circumstances, upon public grounds, and for the advantage of the naval service, which I know you have so much at heart, I beg to urge your recommen dation of that officer and Lieutenant William Mould, senior and gunnery lieutenant of this ship to the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty for that promotion their constant and valuable services have so long entitled them to expect and hope for.—l have, &c. FRANCIS SCOTT, Captain. Vice-Admiral Sir Charles Napier, K .C. 8., &o. * Odin, Alban, Gorgon, Driver. THE MOTHER AND DAUGHTER. — The &edt relates the following affecting story :—Some* years ago, the widow of a manufacturer in the country, who had left her in bad circumstances, established her , elf with the aid of her friends in a hotel, with a table d . /tote, which succeeded admirably. She had an only child, a very pretty girl, who received a good education, but in 1849 she was se duced by one of the lodgers, and they left the place together. From that time until the last week the mother heard nothing of her daughter, and all attempts to discover her were in vain. About a fortnight ago, the mother came to Paris on business, and walking along the quays she saw a young woman almost in rags, who was sobbing piteously as she was being taken betw een two soldiers to the office of the Commissary of Police. The signs of excessive grief of the prisoner excited great pity from the crowd, and attracted the particular attention of the widow. Drawing near, she recognised her daughter, and fell upon her neck, bathing her with tears. A coach was called, into which the mother en tered with her child and the guards, and in a few minutes they were in the presence of the commissar y. lithe charge was merely vagabondage, and the mother . undertook to receive and provide for her daughter, the • soa miugry ordered her to I Pedigolargul from r ai t q d Y! THE RECENT EXTENSIVE 'CONFLAGRATIONS AT TWOLESALE DRUGGISTS IN THE CITY. SPECIAL VERDICT. Yesterday afte-snoon Mr. Payne, jun., the deputy coroner for Isindon, held a lengthened inquiry in the vestry roir_ os of St. Maenus's Church, Lower Thames street, " f or the purpose of ascertaining how and by what meassa the p rem i ses o f M essrs. B a i ss , B ro th ers , an d several others, lately became burnt." Owin g t o not fewer than three fires having taken ptace at the establishments of an equal number of wholesale drugsi 4 tSt carryin g on business in the city of London, within the space of a few days, the inhabitants naturally became alarmed, and those in the immediate vicinity of Messrs. Baiss's got a requisition, numerously signed, re questing the coroner to summon a jury, so that the ensue of the fires might, if possible, be gleaned. Considering, at the same time, the vast amount of inflammable stock generally kept in such houses of business, the requisi tionists were of opinion that the present inquiry might possibly lead to the removal of such dangerous businesses out of such densely -populated neighbourhoods as the city. Judging from the verdict of the jury, and their addenda thereto, there is little to fear but that active measures will be resorted to by the proper authorities to remove every objectionable house of business that can be touched by the arm of the law. The learned Coroner briefly explained to the jury why they had been called together, and at the same time showed how necessary many persons residing in the neighbourhood thought such inquiries were. The facts of the case, which have already appeared, having been adduced, The learned coroner summed up, and The jury, after consulting for nearly three quarters of an hour, returned the following spacial verdict : " That the premises of Messrs. Baiss were burned, but as to the cause of the fire there was not sufficient evidence to say. The evidence, however, clearly showed that it commenced in Messrs. Baiss's premises, and the jury strongly reprehend the dangerous practice of keeping or manufacturing articles of an inflammat or y c h aracter in such populous neighbourhoods." The jury having passed a vote of thanks to the coroner for the great care and attention he had paid to the in quiry, the proceedings terminated. THE NEW BEER ACT. Yesterday a deputation from the Metropolitan and Suburban Licensed Victuallers' Protection Society, and a deputation from the Licensed Victuallers' Defence Association, consisting of equal ❑umbers of each, met at Mr. Simpson's, Cremorne Gardens, for the purpose of amalgamating the two societies, in order to procure the repeal of the Beer Act, and to adopt such other measures as they might deem necessary to resist further encroach ment on the rights of the trade and the privileges of the public. Tile two societies were represented by the following 7ehtlemen :—M r. Simpson, Cremorne- gardens ; Mr. Luce, King's Arms, Hampton Court ; Mr. Conquest Eagle Tavern, City-road; Mr. Forster, St. John's-gate, Clerken well ; Mr. Forster, Royal Tavern, Blackwall Terminus, Fenchurch-street ; Mr. Harris, Equestrian Tavern, Blackfriars-road ; Mr. Symes, Cogers' Hall, Bride-lane, Mr. Wallace, Gloucester Tavern.

Those gentlemen having deliberated for upwards of two hours, adopted the following resolutions : "1. That this present committee, consisting of an equal number of members of the Metropolitan and Su burban Licensed Victuallers' Protection Society, and of the Metropolitan and Suburban Licensed Victuallers' Defence Association, do now amalgamat e , un d e r the name and title of the Licensed Victuallers' Metropoli tan and Provincial Mutual Defence Association." "2. That the Committee of the Joint Associations are desirous of expressing to those portions of the pub lic press who have advocated the true interests of the Licensed Victuallers, their warmest thanks for the effi cient services they have rendered them, and fur the liberal space allotted to their cause." A vote of thanks to Mr. Simpson for his conduct in the chair was also carried by acclamation. In a conversation which occurred after the meeting, it was determined that forms of petitions against the new Beer Act should be left for signature at each public house. MARKET NEWS-(TIIIS DAY.) CORN EXCHANGE. To-day's market was scantily supplied with all kinds of English wheat, both new and old ; nevertheless, the demand was in a most inactive state, at Monday's decline in the quotations. The show of foreign wheat was large, and to have effected sales, even laver rates must have been submitted to. The fow floating cargoes on offer were quite 2s to 3s per qr. beneath last week's currency. We had a dull inquiry 'for barley and malt, at barely [ate rates. There was a good supply of oats in the market. The trade was heavy, at barely stationary prices. Beans and peas were almost nominal. In flour next to nothing was doing. ARRIVALS THIS UM.

MATTHEW HALL.—This long -expected work has at length a , peared, and will doubtless meet with a ready welcome from the numeroui lovers of that interesting class of literature, historical biography, particularly as developed in the lives of eminent and remarkable female sovereigns. Mrs. Hall not only wields the pen of a graceful and ready writer, 'out displays a great amount of hi- , torical know ledge and antiquarian research. Her object has been to present a clear and interesting, series of records of our British Queens preceding the Conquest, whose lives are so much less familiar to the English reader than others of a later period who have found able biographers ; and this object she has accomplished in an attractive manner. No one, indeed, need fear to be repelled from her work by any dryness of detail. her biographies of Boadicea the warlike— of the renowned St. Helena—of Rowena, Queen of V or ti gern—of Bertha, the introducer of Chris tianity into S axon B r i tain—of the wicked Eifrie p ida—o f Ethelgiva, Q ueen o f E dwy the Fair—of Emma the e arl of Normandy, Q ueen of Ethelred and Canute—of Edit" the Good, Queen of Edward the Confessor —are ful l of romantic interest.

Yesterday morning information was received at the Salford police-office of an extraordinary attempt made to murder a poor woman living in Evan-street, Sprin g. field-lane, in that borough. The stateme n t was, that at two o'clock in the morning her house had been entered and her throat cut with some not very sharp instrument, whilst she was in bed, and that the robbers had stolen 31. 10s. from her pocket. The police went to institute the proper inquiries, and found that Mr Holland, surgeon, and Mr. Storey, druggist, of Green gate, had attended to the wound, which it is believed will not prove mortal, the incision having missed the prin cipal arteries and the jugular vein. The unfortunate woman, whose name is, Sarah Freel, was found to be a large opium eater, and it was thought at first that her story might be an invention, and that she had probably made an attempt at self-destruction whilst labouring under the effects of the mental excitement to which such persons are subject ; but an inquiry into the circum stances has removed these suspicions to a great extent. She has been in the habit of taking opium freely on ac. count of nervous suffering to which she was subject at times, and a druggist who has sold her the drug says that he has known her consume half an ounce whilst in his shop, and to purchase an ounce per day. The woman's story is that she was awoke very early in the morning by a hand being placed upon her mouth. She was sleeping upon a bed on the floor, in the only bed-room the cottage contains, and the room was totaily destitute of other furniture. Her three children, two boys and a girl, the oldest of whom i s 14 years old, were sleeping in the house below —the girl on a box, and the two boys on the floor. On being awoke, she says, and looking up. she saw a man disguised in female attire, and a boy holding a lantern. She asked them what' they wanted there, and the man replied " money." She pointed to her miserable room, and asked what money they expected a poor old woman the man said, " Oh, that wretched condition could be likely to have, but ut the man then placed o y ne must have it." She ea s sheacross baa b nc e dr ga oss n h to er I know you have money, and I with the other drew a knife he becamehe • - insensible. The reason she 13ad for believing her assai:ant not to be a woman cr t y hr rf o o a r t l mo nth , eal npd, a nd that his hand smelt stronglywas his masculine voice, and A deed relating to propertyof in Chancery wax. have been found in her bedroom Chancery is said to states that it relates to proper ty lef t the police, sad she relative, but that subsequently, yin her in Dublin by a order to relieve her self from debts incurred by her husband, she was obliged to make the pr o p erty over to trustees , whom of g Jackson, the bank er , a t D ouglas, was on Mr. e ; and before leaving Dougla s , a month ago, it was a that just Mr. Jackson should advan ce h er 2 51. more, but thatthat s subsequently resolved only to have 201., and that it paid her by Mr. Jackson in th e s h op of Mr . Duff, was gr ocer and spirit-dealer, Market-place, Douglas. The woman states that on going to bed, the previous night she left her petticoat hanging behind the dooft with 31. 10s. stitched up in one corner of the pocket. This was the balance left of the 201. she had obtained from Mr. Jackson, banker, at Douglas. On examining her pocket it was found, yesterday morning, that this money was gone. The threads had apparently been cut with a knife. STATE OF TRADE. (From, the Manchester Guardian of this day.) MANCEIESTER, Sept. s.—The transactions of the day have not been large, either in yarns or goods, and the market has therefore exhibited a somewhat inanimate aspect. This is mainly attributable to the recent exten sive operations, which left less business to be done, and imparted rather an upward bias to prices ; while the prospect as to the supply of cotton tends to restrain any upward movement in that article. In both departments, however, an entire firmness of price prevails, and some articles are inclining to be slightly dearer than they were. This is the case with low counts of water twist, which the Greeks are still buying for weeks forward, and also with 24s and 28s warps, as well as with pincops suitable for domestics, and mule twist for India. No. 20s water-twist has become quite firm at the rates quoted prior to the appear ance of wavering which lately showed itself. The India merchants find that they are no longer able to lay their hands upon skirtings and other clothes on such terms as were submitted to by the makers in the last and preceding weeks ; there is practically a difference to their disadvantage of lid. to 3d. per piece, but still the prices continue to be ruinous to the manufacturers. Domestics are slowly hardening under a quietly increas ing demand from the home houses. Most other cloths remain as they were last week. As in yarns, so in goods, the Greeks are still active buyers. ROCHDALE, Sept. 4.—The demand for flannels con tinues brisk, and the manufacturers are asking better prices for their good's to meet the late rise in the raw material. The wool market is rather quiet, and the manufacturers buy sparingly for immediate use only. HALIFAX, Sept. 2.—Although the fine weather for harvest operations raises the hopes of the manufacturers, no actual improvement iu the inquiry for worsted goods has yet been experienced, and the sales in our Piece-hall to-day have been very limited. The yarn and wool markets have undergone no alteration. HUDDERSFIELD, September s.—There has been a slight improvement in the number of sales effected in the cloth market, compared with last week, although the market may be generally repotted fiat. The fancy woollen trade in quieter than for some time past ; and the wool merchants complain that they are doing very ' little. The abundant harvest and the falling price of corn give hopes of a better trade during. winter. BRIMINGEAM, Sept. 3.--In the iron trade symptoms of flatness have again supervened, though from no failing-off either of the consumption -or demand, the different hardware manufacturers continuing in a state of decided activity. Makers of anvils, anchors, chains, riads, edge-tools, locks, sa idlers' ironmongery, and in deed of every description of hardware, are so busy that orders are placed with great difficulty, while the exports are in exca,s of last year up to the present month. RUSSIAN PRIZES.—In consequence of a communica• tion from the Lords' Cemmissioners of the Admiralty, the Commissioners of Customs have caused to be trans mitted to the colleetors and comptrollers, and other principal officers at the several ports throughout the kingdom, for their information, a description of a Rus sian schooner-yacht, the Rleutela, winch is stated to have been sold under very suspicious circumseenete, and is now called the Coll bri. PARKHURST PRISON.—The report of the directors of the convict prisons on the state and condition of this establishment during the year 1853 has been published. The report states that all the buildings expressly con. strutted fur prison purposes are in good repair, but those which existed before Parkhurst was used as a prison are not in so satisfactory a state,. though still serviceable. The daily average• number of prisoners during the year was 594. The number remaining on the 31st of Dec., 1853, was 616. The total cost of the prison, exclusive of buildings, amounted to 15,7821. 12s. lid. After de ducting the earnings of the prisoners, 1,8801. 3s. 10d., and house rent paid by the officers, 2271. 6s. 10:1., the net cost of the prison was 13675/. ls. sid. Making and repairing prisoners' clothing, boots and shoes, cooking, baking, and washing, have occupied prisoners within doors; and the out-door labour has comprehended the trades of carpenters, bricklayers, masons, Pawyers, painters, &c. Bricks and tiles have been manufactured in large quantities, and the farm operations on the land, in the piggery, and in the dairy, have been conducted as heretofore. The preparation of the flax grown oa the land has been added to the other industrial occupa tions, and so far with great success. _ RUSSIAN' FUGITIVES.—The following is from Memel, dated the 23d ult. : " At the request of a Jewess re cently married, and whose husband wished to desert her, search was made on board the British schooner English Maid, where a Jew, but not the one sought for, was found and arrested. The schooner, then OK her way out, was allowed to depart. Further search was then wade on board the English Hull steamer Black Eagle, and there 18 Jews, with some women and children, were discovered. These were all fugitives from Russia, and sqme were subject to military servi tude. The runaway husband was likewise uiscovered. All the Jews, with the exception of one who escaped, were arrested, and will probably be delivered over to the Russian authorities. None of them had pass ports. Tile Black Eagl e , p reven t e d f rom quitting the port at the regular time, sailed this day, alter Mr. tlertslet, the Eaglish vice-consul, had given in a de claration that lie would not hold himself responsible for any consequences that might result from this irregular proceeding." It will be seen from thi4 that Prussia per forms her duties as well as her obligations to Russia with all possible vigilance. The cruiser left Memel on the 23 , 1, steering northwards. FREE PUBLIC LIBRARY, ,AT NORWICH.—The first stone of a free public library will be laid in Norwich oa the 13th inst. The plans which have been prepared by Mr. Benest, the city surveyor, provide on the ground floor a reading•rouni, 44 feet by 33 feet • a museum, 64 feet by 26 f ee t ; a lib rary, 33 feet by 26' feet 6 in., and several other smaller apartnieuts.
