Jaded, the self-denial, power of endurance, and perse verance displayed are perfectly wonder:ul;'•auel tlese qua litMs are maintained against a neVtr-resting, ueflinelt ing: and fearless enemy, whose resistance is its hard a. is the steel they wield. If the loss of life is so irentendoue —the nimiber of our womaleal is at present 2.600 whieh according to the usual proportion must eive about 3.000 dead and missing—the loss iu hor,es, baggage and mu nition must, to judge from the fresh supplies demanded, have been quite as great. Terrible though the foregoing numbers may appear, they are but too correct. Not far from Kostentlje, on a piece of boggy meadow land, with an area of hardly 6,000 feet, we lost 243 men and 71 horses, although this engagement, in comparison with some others, was unimportaet, and ended by the retreat of the Russians. The Turks are far better acquainted with the ' terrain' and tie way of taking advantace of it than we are, and then they have the habit of (.ringing 'their heavy artillery into play only after the battle is Well engage I, when their guns being murderously well pointed,' they floor whole files of their opponents. " Their artillery department is evidently better mansged than ours, for they have 'nary small guns which can be carried on pack horses. In consequence of this they often fight with superior weapons, and how they fight is best been by the number of killed and the - extremely severe • wounds inflicted on our troops. A single gun-shot wound is snmething rare; the me. have generally two or three, and the consequence is that ninny die of sheer pain and loss of be od before they reach the infirmary. We have recent'y had numerous cases of fractured legs from Silistria and other places on the river. The mortality among the wounded has been 31 per cent. during the month of April. " Our men, who were half-starved during the Easter fasts, get good rations of meat, of which there is until now no want in the Dobrudscha, but bread and our celebrated biscuit get damp, soft, and mouldy, end are not only disagreeable to the palate but the cause of :ell kinds of complaints... There is almost everywhere a terrible want of good water, and even when by chance this is found, it can hardly be preserved in the miserable wooden flasks called chiateras, which are so saturated with schnapps that the water at once gets an empyreu matic taste. The only creature comforts which the men get are schnapps. tea, and tobacco. The affair at ezernavoda, the most sanguinary of all, and the almost dally recurring attacks on the field works at Rassova and Silistria, have caused such a bustle on this part of the Danube, that the traces of citizen and pea...ant are almost lost in the turmoil of war. Everythibg . that.is t be found belongs to the soldier alone ; he has - Lae ''y houv, bed, vet icle, horse, melt', . , bread, hay, Oath, wine, :oa, schnapps. but even the arms and legs of the Man •in m !In,' who must work hard in fortifyieg and foiegi. g. You will be able to guess how we are liked, if you ,ever chanced o inhabit a besieged town of which th , enemy was in po- session. "The news from the higher parrs ..t the Danube is ef a contradictory deseriptien. This much, however, v‘e know to a certainty—e The bust informed officers in Wal lachia do not consider things safe, and have sent the it Wives, valuables, and better carriages and harness to the left bank of the Pruth. Th y have, besides. sud denly.and totally left tiff talking big about reacbh g Constantinople this 'Summer. In the meantime rein forcements keep coming in from Bessarabia, aid par ticularly cavalry and heavy artillery, which last is sent to the Dobrudecha and Balarasch fur arming the boats and sloops. The troops coming through Moldavia en camp on the Fokschani' line up to the frontiers of Tran sylvania. Behind Fok-chani a vast camp hos p ital is ceing arranged for immediate service. "By a'l this you will see that the war is likely to be a long and bloody cm We are already rich in ague, typhus, dysentery, scurvy, home sickness, and hospital gangrene, so that it does not require much more to pro duce that Wallachian pest which, being discovered in 1827 and 1829 by the illustrious Councillor of State the Chevalier von Seidlitz, gave the critical gentlemen of the faculty and the academicians of St. Petersburg a convenient opportunity of earning laurels without risk and danger. MONTENEGRO. • A general rising is expected in Montenegro in favour of Russia, but Austria, it is said, is.fully prepared to oppose it. Six hundred of the Montenegrins have made a foray into the Herzegovina and killed several of the Turkish inhabitants. OPERATIONS ON THE CIRCASSIAN - • COAST. Three vessels were cruizing, according to the latest accounts, along the coast of CircasNia, wait lag for the Ottvanan fleet, which was to bring 5 )000 men for disembarkation in Abasia. THE ATTEMPT ON THE SULINA MOUTH OF THE DANUBE. The following is an extract from a letter from R.M.S. Sidon : "BLACK SEA, April 15. On the 15th of last month We were going to attack the fort built to guard the entrance of the Sulina mouth of the Danube, and cut out a small schooner of war lying there, inside a large clittin which they have stretched across the entrance. Rowever, we could not get within range, for want of a knowlege of the channel, and gave it up without firing a shot at them. We went there again on the 8h of this Month, and sent in a flag of truce, and brought ff our con , mil. They had made another battery since out first vi -if, and were hard at work finishing it. There were four gun-boats inside and the same schooner. TI e hosts incrunted seven guns each and sixty men. "On Tu-.-s -daY, the 11th of April, our look-out man reported a body of Cossacks coming over the bill at Ihe back of the town. Our boats,. one French and tN o English, were on shore watering, and only had three muskets with them. We fired a signal gun for their return, but at the meantime the Cossacks had advanced rapidly into the town, were dismounted, and were led down to the boats by two or three Greek ruffians who are still in the plate. They arrived Jost as the boats had shoved off. A rapid iiiterchat ge of shot toil place, and t,vo of tilt Cossacks were knocked down during this time. The French and ourselves were firing shut and shell at them. In about half an hour they cleared out." .‘ KusTEDIJKR, April 22.—We have been again to Sulina ; this tithe with the Retribution.

The paragraph is to this effect :- 6. As several journals have announced, as also the Ovate telegraph, the Aultristn Government has just taken measures to augment the effective strength of its army. The official Gazette of Vienna publishes an ordi nance, which prescribes the immediate levy of 95,000 men. That ordinance is accompanied by a manifesto which indicates in an• unmistakeable manner the even twit destination of these forces.' Both the manifesto and the measure itself, of which it is the commentary, have produced at Vienna an impression as favourable as it is profound." Rumours of modifications in the French Cabinet are again in circulation. It is said, on excellent authority, that there is no truth whatever in them. Changes may take place in tho department of the Interior, sueh as transferring the political duties to the Minister of State, and leaving merely the ad ministrative ones to M. de Persigny, but no more s3riuus change is in question. Ou the contrary, the most perfect accord reigns at this moment between the members of the Cabinet, and that the cause which it was said induced the Minister of the Inte rior to tender his resignation some time since, does not now exist. - Under circumstances like the present, the effect of any Ministerial change on public opinion at home and tbroarl would be mis- , chievous ; and it is believed the English Govern ment would hear with regret of any such change. It was mentioned some time since that there was a probability that a project of law for raising a new loan, some say of 500,000,0001., others of 250,000,000 f., would be proposed to the Legis lative Corps before long, or at least that autho nsation for raising such a loan in case of necessity would be. demanded. The subject is again talked of. Among the plans for raising the luau one is spoken of as also very probable, namely, as dividing, it between the Bank of France, the Credit Mobilier. the Receivers-General, and the public, in the proportion of 100,000,000 f. to each of the three first, and 200,000,000 f. to the last ; cud if 250,000,000 f. he the amount, the distribution will be in the same proportion. It is also sail posi tively that, if necessary, Franc.• will sent 150,000 or even 200,000 troops to the theatre of the war. We read iu the Sesnaph4re de Mars,eilles of the 16 The Courricr announces that. M. Bouride, who is p ; oing on an extraordinary mission to Greece, has re ceived his last instructions, and left Marseilles for Toulon, where he is to emb :rk in the steam-frigate Cristophe Columb, with General Forey, Commander of Division which is to occupy Athens. M.

SP A.IN. A telegraphic despatch from Madrid, dated 15th, says Queen Christina is ill. She has an attack of scarlet fever. The Madrid journals of the 13th have arrived, hut their contents are unimportant. One of them mentions a rumour current that Mr. Soule, the United States Minister, was about to leave ou ac count of not being able to come to an arrangement on the Black Warrior affair ; but this is not only in direct contradiction to the statement in recent letters of a settlem ent havin g been made, but the Lithographic Correspondence asserts, on what it represents to be good authority, that the Govern ment has not received any notification of Mr. Soule having taken any such resolution. Howdeu had r eturned to Madrid from Cadiz. Lord COURT CIRCULAR• , The Queen, attended by the Hon.

A curious fact has been ascertained. The Greek Government has granted letters of marque to the pirates who at the present moment infest the-Levant. Surely it is time to look for a suc cessor to King Otho I A correspondent of the Inclependanee Beige, under date Paris, May 16, says, " There is a ru mour here that a very important diplomatic docu ment will see the light very shortly, drawn up by the Powers, it is said, to doom King Otho to de thronement. This is but a rumour as yet, it is true; and it may have sprung spontaneously from the positive fact now known respecting the occupa tion of Greece by the 3d .division of -the French army under the command of General Forey. It is at the same time beyond all doubt that from the moment the occupation actually takes place by the Western Powers, the administration of the King will be placed in their hands, and Lord John Rus sell's silence on this point in the house proves still more the gravity of the resolutions taken by France and England. A letter f rom S a l on ica states that the Greek in aurgonts, 3 ,000 or 4,000 in number, who had dis embarked in the Gulf of Cont . essa, were advancing ; but little a s tr n m t t w Porte had was felt, as it was known that the each 1,800 strong,y' detachments of regular troops, two detachments that part of Macedonia, and was about to rind a third.

Handsome Buck, however, came again, and the race ended in his favour by a head. Bad third. The riding of young Rogers excited the highest admiration.

The racing to-day commenced at twelve o'clock, and ended at two. The match, with a nice adjustment of weights- -even at " Lit,"—and the Two-year-old Sweep stakes, for which only fillies were left in to con . end, were the principal features of interest ; in each, however, the favourite made the running throughout and won easily. Toe winning numbers to-day presented a re maikable coincidence—four out of the five being number "1" on the card. The attendance of company was very scanty. In the course of the morning some light showers fell, with a refreshing effect. The afternoon, though somewhat cloudy, was, on the whole, favourable. The journey to town by special train which left New market at three, was very satisfactorily performed in two hours and a half. SHREWSBURY MAY RACES—Tann/A.

Lord Elcho, M.P. fur II 11' h . a L ard a, . inetenseire, r in d s of the Treasury appeared on behalf of tile Government. The committee now consists 4 of seven members--via , Mr. Sotheron (chairman), Mr. Milnes Geseell, Mr. Deedes, Mr. fors tan, Mr. Bonham Carter, Mr. G, a- Moore, and Lord Elcho, the last two members appear' ing simply as prosecutor and defendant respective-Vs with the power of voting, Mr. Herman Merivale, permanent Under-Secretary' for the Colonies, was examined by Mr. Moore, and re examined by Lord Elcho. He said that he had long been acquainted with Mr. Stonor, and should certainly not have recommended him to the Duke of Newcastle as a fit person fur the post given him, unless he bad been satisfied of his fitness. eu the course of October or November last Mr. Stoner called at the Colonial-office on the subject of his brother, the Solicitor-General of Van Diemen's Land, who, having fallen into bad health, had been obliged to return. He mentioned tiee subject of 1 the provisional appointment then vacant, and said it would suit him exactly. By witness's advice Mr. Stonor afterwards applied by letter for the appointment, eieclosing a number of testimonials and some papers about the Sligo committee's report, all which went before his geace. Witness mentioned casually, either to Mr. Roberts, the Duke's private secretary, or to his Grace himself, ill the course of one of several conversations that took place on the subject, that Mr. Stoner was a very fit person, had. not this business of Mr. Townley been against him. Whether or not he was jutified in the course he took was an inference for the committee to draw for them selveo. He did not think it necessary to call the Duke of NeNvcastle's attention mole di.stinetty to circin,vinces which P.e underst.o.4-to-Le notorieus mid well known to every one ; he had seen from the papers sent in beside`, that three ': members of a committee of the House of Cone• mons reported a gentleman guilty of bribery, while thei other two stated their opinion that there was nothing whatever acainet him. It further appeared that this gen tleman had never been called before that committee, nor bad been asked there to give any explanation; and that, when the repori.. of that committee was brought-before the House of Commeons, no prosecution was dire cted, nor proceedings of arey 'kind taken upon it. Be, therefore, could not suppose that it was intended to place that gen tleman in the poeition of a man incapable .1 holding a responsible unite. No friend of Mr. Stonor'e ever made to witness airy comm unication of any kind on his behalf. It was not the practice to take the opinion of the law officers of the CroWn (in the subject of appointments to be made. In short, bad the Duke of Newcastle's eaten• tion been particularly called to the Sligo Committee's report, witness should sety that everything had been done in the case in queetion that could possibly have been done to insure a good selection. Mr. Henry Roberts, private secretary to the Duke of N e wcastle, was the next witness--He said, be had been for 12 years chairman . of Quarter Sessions and chief jute of Common Pleas of the Llaild of Jamaica. He bail held hi- present situation since the commencement A January 1853. He was in England, on leave of ab sence, when it ea: offered Om. Mr. Merivale never made any statement to him w ith respect to any report of a comm ttee of the House of' Commons affecting Mr. Stomme and he (witnes ,, ) knew nothing whatever of that eentleolan. Nothing of the kind was ever mentioned to hint ,by the Duke of Newcastle either, and, as far as he could know, lie was confident that, had his Grace known, or even suspected, the true circuinstaeces of the case, he would immediately have instituted an in- quiry. Had witness known the circumstances, and not called his Grace's attention to them, be should have con sidered himself guilty of a gross dereliction of duty. In the ordinary course of routine witness ought to have read Mr. Stonor's testimonials ; hut, as Mr. Merivale had accepted the responeibility in that matter, he thought himself treed from what would otherwise have been a duty. He understood Mr. Merivale to have satisfied the Duke on all points relating to Mr. Stonor, and he diet nit think 11.inself bound to canvass a matter which was already to a certain extent decided. In answer to Lord Elcho, witness said, he was quite sure that, since he had been connected with the Duke of Newcastle, that nobleman had made no appointment at the instigation of any Irish member of Parliament, or of any other member ut Parliament. The committee then adjourned to 1 o'clock to-day. 11 KRWIANT ,siIIPPING BILL. —o--• The Livei-pool Stearn-ship Association have published a series of rcinarks on the alterations proposed to be effected by the Merchant Siiippino Bill of 1854 as re gards the interests of the owners of b steam-vessels. Tha bill is divided into 11 parts, and the association point out the various clauses of which they approve, or to which they see no objection, together with those which they consider calculated to cause injury. Among the latter the most important is a provision altering the tonnage allowance for engine room, which, instead of being esti mated, as heretofore, according to the actual space occu pied, is to be at the rate of three-tenths of the gross ton na.4e for paddle-ships and two-tenths for screw. By th s means, it is contended. a serious addition will be made to the register tonnage of almost every vessel sailing from the port of Liverpool, the evil falling most heavily on ships the power of which is large in popor \ tion to their size, and thus operating as a direct dis couragement to speed and efficiency, since it will add materially to all light, tonnage, dock, and other dues. A number of criticisms are furnished on other parts of the bill, which seems calculated in some instances to in troduce a needless. : system for interference, although, on the whole, it is regarded with favour. At the same time it is complained, that while the Beard of Trade appear disposed to extend their power of decid ing with regard to the qualifications of masters and crews, and of taking, in fact, the entire superintendence of merchant shipping, they show no readiness to relieve the shipowners of the responsibility which under the ex isting law has to be borne in case of these qualifications proving in any instance to have been wrongly certified, 111 - to have fallen short of what should have been de in ended. On this point the association observe : ~' The bill contemplates no alteration in relation to the responsibilit of shipowners. At present, notwithstanding all th, care employed by the owner in the selection of a master and crew, there is a doubt whether, under Lord Campbell's act, he is not fissile to the utmost penny of his means to nasseugers and their representatives in the event of acciilen is which he can in no way control or prevent, and it is considered that the present time is peculiarly suited for u rtsing upon the Government the propriety of settling the ,`aw in this respect, and of freeing the ship owner irons th e overwhelming responsibilities to which he may b e li a ble us the event of accident. Where every care is taken by the owner that the ship shall be properly manned and fitteii, auil where, moreover, she is navigated by masters possessim the certifies' es required by this bill, and under miss and regulations mace, or emanatin g from the Board of Trade, and for the breach of which heavy penalties are incurred, it appears utterly unjust and un reasonsble that a shipow - ner should personally be liabl, in i a pecuniary point of view, fur the lives of persons whose i loss he may lament as much as any one, and for whose loss i it man never be imagined he is amenable to a criminal court." -- ViOVIIVCIAL BANK OFIitEbAND. At a meeting of the Provinciai Bank of Ireland, bold yesterda,v, the dividend declared was at the rate of 8 per cent., wit h a bonus of 4 per cent., and the report an d accounts ~ vere unanimously adopted. Tue chairman (Sir J.

The advaclee in the value of agricultural and farming stock, :tut; the increased demand for land avail able fur occupation, were also q uoted in proof of the great a melioration in the social condition of the country.
