PEOPLE OF PNOLANE,—WO rej , ice that the worthy Member for Marvleb,ne has been appointed Minister of Health ' , ter meson for r j , clog in this avointment I+ that sir Benjam n Hall is at least not a doct , r. It will not de now to mince trotters, but to speak n'ainly and honest] . we know no•hlng ourselves of the opinions entert-ined about medicine hp Air Ber&min Ha I hut we can tell him this. that If he all Avs hiro.elf to he led bn dowor craft h's down far is cer ale. On the other hand, it he ate with firmness -nd on his own common s •nsa of m t tte a, the people will be with him. The appointment see. gto confer great powers on the minister. both as retards the removal of nui.attee- , nr , judicial to health. and the treat ment of cholera. Now we declare to =ir rte. , j imtn. ;45; we hwe duce al' a'ong, that the mixture prepared by tile advice of do •tors for the cholera and which he people are told to take, is the very worst th t can he devised Tha mixture we understand to consist princinally of opium and chek, both of which interfere most seriously with the proper action of the bower, and, If it be persevered in, en far fr , m ehe'-kine the cholera, It will aggravate the dis.ase. Let Sir Benja m n reflect the it is not in the interest. ...f doctors t. mire any disease These are Its rd worde, hut they are true. The exp , •rience of 20 yt , ars with cholera eases has at' istled us and hunch , ds other. that the cholera can only be met by an efficient and powerful vegetalle pur eative, ich at once strikes at the root of the disease by expelling all offending matter. On this we stake our ex stence. The most complete proof can he adduced that. we are right. Doctors, on the other hand, have been ten inv all sorts of useless thin s, the last .thing bein "laughing gas," and they are still d Tided as to treat ment. Hygeists have only used one treatment, and on that and that only they rein. Let Sir Penjamin remember that all the sanitary measures have nro-eeded from the people and not from the dootors, who live by disease. The more there is of it the better for the C lass, We are notwithstanding, perfe. tly aware that in the medical profession there are many most earned and good men ; but still, as a class, we con tend th •.t they do exist by the amount of disease. Let the Minister of Health also remember that the people will no longer allow them. selves to be treated in disease thro"gh ri,ht or wr ng—that the whole untry is alive on the po'nt —and th st they will assert their right in spite of all doctors or no doctors, Re' al Colleges of Pt yslcians or any other co lege. The immnrt 1 stem of James Morrison, the Ilygeist, that all diseases proceed from impurity of the blood, and that alon', has opened such a flood of light on this question that no power can stand agsinst It ; and, therefore, in the full reliance that the Almighty will properly direct the Ministerof Health in his holy and moat important mission, We remain, fallow-countrymen, Your ohedient servants.

Everyone's attention is turned to affairs in the Baltic and the Black Sea, and are anxious to know what the forces are doing. It is generally known th't they are equal to any exigency, and fully qualified for the business they have undertaken. In numbers, skill, military experience, and resources, they are super;or to any power which Russia con command. With equal intere.t everyone asks, what are the gigantic forces of E MOSE 4 and SON doing at this season of the year? We can answer this question withoui any difficulty whatever. E. MOSES and .:ON mat age their bus news with perfect skill and experienc•• in every department; they direct every man's talent to the ri,tht object- consequently their productions possess such excel lencies as are not discovered in any other articles of attire. E. Noses and SON'S forces are superior to any exigency which mac arise, and they can execute orders for any description of dre•s to any amount, with more promptitude, correctness, despatch, and economy, than any other house.

THE COAST GUARD BRIGADE. The supernumeraries who have joined the Coast Guard service in the place of those who have been sent abroad, are daily exercised with the long gun exercise at Sheer ness, under the su p er i ntendence of Lieut. Hosken, of the Garrison Point station. The result from the daily training is, that the-e men, many of whom a week ago bad never seen a gun, can now go through all their evolutions, and fire with great precision. MAILS FOR THE BALTIC. Mails for the Holyr(.od hired steam transport hare arrived at Sheerness for the Baltic fleet. She was expected there yesterday. A countermanding order gives until the 26th instant to make up her mails at that post-office. No official intimation has been given by the authorities there cf her intended arrival. However, a number of persons residing there, having relatives and friends serving in the Baltic fleet, are making the necessary preparations to avail themselves of this opportunity of communicating with their relatives and friends. There are many families there who have fathers, and some two or three their s ons , now fighting the battles of their country; and it is only by a side-wind report they are enabled to know when opportunities offer to send either letters or newspapers out to them. Some thousands of pence might be added to the Postmaster-General's receipts if only publicity were given when ships are to call there for mails for the Baltic or Black Sea fleets. MISCELLANEOUS. The Princess Alice, formerly one of the Dover mail steam-packets, having been thoroughly refitted, was taken out of the basin yesterday to moorings in the stream. THE 46TH REGIHENT.—Lieut. G. F. Greer, of this regiment, is the son of the late William Jackson Greer, J.P., of. Rhone Hill, county Tyrone, and not, as has been stated, the son of Mr. Greer, of Portstewart, county Derry. His Imperial Brazilian Majesty's steam-sloop Gequi tinhouha, Captain Lerner°, recently built in the Thames, arrived in Plymouth from London on Thursday, and, having coaled, sailed on Saturday for Rio Janeiro. Mr. W. H. Skinner, clerk's assistant (first appoint. ment) has taken up his appointment, and joined the Wellesley guard-ship of Ordinary, at Chatham. THE MILITIA. The 3d West York Light Infantry, at present sta tioned in Dublin, were inspected on Monday in heavy marching order, by Major-General Cochrane, com manding the garrison, on the esplanade facing the Royal barracks. The regiment was formed in line at 11 o'clock, a.m., when the Major-General arrived, accom panied by his staff, and was received with the usual honours, Colonel F. Loftus commanding.

Five days afterwards, on the 2d of May, CoL. bandels cut in pieces a Russian corps atPul killa, nerth of Saint Michel, in the Savolax, and carried off a whole park of artillery. He also recaptured Klingsporr, on his side, reoccupied Braliestad, which had been evacuated by Toutchkoff on the report of an in surgent movement manifesting itself at various points. After having taken a fortified position on the north bank of the Pyhajocki, he pushed forward a reconnaissance towards IC:jam, in Eastern Finland, whilst Toutchkoff fortified himself at Himango and Gamle Carleby. The Swedish army, reinforced by troops from Sweden, reck oned then about 18,000 men. However, it was the time when the frost sets in, and when the snow falls, and all important operations were obliged to be suspended ; Colonel Sandels alone surmounting every obstacle, con tinued his course in Eastern Finland. He spread so much alarm that it was necessary not only to send to the spot, with the greatest precipitation, the troops located in the environs of St. Petersburg, in order to cover Nys lott, but also to despatch a division which advanced in all haste to Kuopio. It had also been found necessary to detach a portion of the corps of cavalry blockading Sweaborg, to defend and keep in order the country of Heinola. [The . Moniteur of Sunday, the 20th inst., contains the following account of the conquest of Finland by Rus sia. At tie present moment a peculiar interest attaches to this event ; but what has principally moved us to devote so ranch of our space to the narrative is the con viction that there is an arriere-pensee in its publication in the Moniteur just at this time.] Russia had been for some time vainly endeavouring to persuade Sweden to unite with herself and Denmark for the purpose of closing the Balticagainsttbe English. Sud det.ly, without any declaration of war, without even waiting for the answer to the last summons, she invaded Finland. The ultimatum spoken of was the subject of a note dated the 22d of February, 1808, and, the evening before, the Russian troops had passed the fron tier of the two states. The invasion of Finland, during a time of profound peace, is one of a class of acts at the commission of which, Russia never hesitates. It is a proceeding similar to that of the occupation of the Prin cipalities of the Danube in 1853. Sweaborg, a place of the first rank and importance, was on the eve of capitulation. On the Bth of May it surrendered, although it was not at all proved that the resistance might not have been prolonged. This was a valuable indemnification to the Russians for the reverses which they were then experiencing. The Swedes, in their turn, retook the islands of Goth land and Aland. Th e y failed, however, in other expedi tions despatched from Swedi s h ports. The most impor tant of these failures were the expeditions directed against Abo and Wasa. In revenge Count Klingsporr ordered an attack on Ny-Carleby, which was taken by General Adlerkreuz and Colonel Grippenburg, in spite of the vigo rous resistance of General Jaukowitch. During this time General Barclay de Tolly had ad vanced from Nyslatt and Wilmaustraudt, through the Savolax, driving before him Sandels, whom he had forced to evacuate Kuopio, and marching onwards to join Raiewski, who had replaced Toutchkoff in command of the troops destined to hold Klingsporr in check. The Russians were desirous of forcing the Swedish general back upon Toneo, on the other side of the Gulf of Both nia. But two vigorous, though fruitless, attacks made by Sandels, on the 25th and 27th of June, against Kuopio, which bad been left in charge of General Rak manoff, determined Barclay de Tolly to return to that town to reinforce the troops in occupation, and to watch over his defence himself. From the 30th of June he was attacked there by the Swedes, and he only suc ceeded in repulsing them after a murderous contest. At this period Raiewski, deceived in his hopes of being rejoined by Barclay de Tolly, who had contented him self with sending him two regiments, threatened in front by the superior force of Klingsporr, and rendered anxious by insurrections which had just broken out along the whole coast to the south of Wasa, evacuated that town on the Ist July, and concentrated the main body of his troops on Salmi to cover the centre of Finland. On the 2d, Colonel Wlastoff, who was bringing him the two regiments despatched by Barclay de Toffy, de feated C o l. Fiaudt at Hindulaks. Fiaudt, attacked on the 11th at Perko, by Jaukowitch, was repulsed in the direction of Qainle Carleby. On the Bth Raiewski had dislodged a Swedish regiment from Happo ; he then fell back towards Tavasthus, and took up a position at Alavo on the 19th of July. There being harassed by a partisan corps under the orders of a sergeant of the name of Root, seeing his communications intercepted, and his convoys seized, and in danger of being cap tured with his corps, he made a hasty retreat upon Ta vasthus. Finland, covered with lakes, marshes, and hills, with rocks d forests, contains a population of scarcely 1,200,000 souls, scattered over a supei &ies of about 58,000 square miles. Its present boundaries are the Gulf of Bothnia on the west, Norway on the north, the governments of Archangel, and Olonetz, and the Lake Ladoga on the east, and the Gulf of Finland on the south. It stretches almost to the gates of St. Peters burg. In 1808 it was separated from Russia by Rus• sian Finland—that is to say, by that part of the grand duchy of Finland which the treaties of peace of Nistad, in 1721, and of Abo, in 1743, had taken from it on the other side of the river hymen. These acquisitions did not satisfy Russia, which from the time of Peter I. had ardently coveted the possession of the whole of Finland. The neighbourhood of the Swedish province was a source both of trouble and anxiety. The Emperor Alexander could not forget that in theyear 1788, during the last war with Sweden, Gustavus 111., at the head of nearly 40,000 men in Finland, had thrown Petersburg into the greatest consternation, and that-the court had determined to seek refuge in Moscow:. The slimes -of Finland are the part of the country most densely populated, but at the same time its vulne rable side. Although defended by forts and numerous lines of military communications, they are not the less accessible to attacks of an enemy who is master of the sea. Such an enemy might cut off these com munications by landing detachments of troops, and assist a Swedish army to recover the country. This as sistance would be the more powerful, as it would be, ac cording to all probability, assured of the assistance of the population, generally hostile to Russia, and tired of its domination. The configuration of a territory so circumstanced as Finland gave to this province at the time of the Russian invasion great natural means of defence. It was pre pared, as if on purpose, for a war of detail. But at the very commencement these advantages were paralysed by the plan acted upon by the defenders of retiring before the enemy, in accordance with the formal aed impera tive orders of the whimsical and presumptuous Gustavus I.V. The instructions, in fact, given by the King to Count Klingsporr, general-in-chief of the army of Fin land, on the 3d of February, in anticipation of a coming rupture on the part of Russia, prescribed the relinquish ment of the country at the approach of the enemy. The Swedish army was composed only of its Finnish regiments, all communication with Sweden being cut off by the ice in the Gulf of Bothnia. The lakes and rivers which in summer form such powerful obstacles to an ad vancieg army, were frozen to a depth which enabled them to bear artillery on their surface, and the shores themselves of the Gulfs of Bothnia and Finland lined with ice prevented the approach of all maritime assist ance. Swedish Finland was thus left to itself, a province contending against an empire. Acting on these considerations, the King, in the in structions to C‘nint Klingsporr, charged him to restrict himself to saving as muc h of the army as could be saved, to throw into Sw a rth o l in and Sweaborg as these places would hold, and to cause the remainder to retreat towards East Bothnia in the best order that might be possible, until other measures should be taken at the opening of the navigation for recon ' quering the coun try.as many troops This, however, was looking at things on one side only. No consideration was given to the fearful obsta cles which the Russians themselves would experience from the extreme rigour of the climate that year, when ' the cold was so intense that the thermometer stood at 30 degree.; (centigrade), and when the snows lay six feet deep. The ~everity of such a temperature, the want of resting-places, and the extreme poverty of the country 1 preparing terrible troubles andsufferings for great so badly clothed as that of Russia, without magazines and demoralised by recent reverses in the campaign of Friedland. a w n ere army The Russian army, divided into three columns, and boundary of the two states, tKwaom p ti rcl i' amatio ns ad dressed,commanded by Count Buxhowden, who had under him Generals Raieswoki, Suchtelen, autho r of a narrative of at Aberfors, Stromborg, and Keltis, the 21st of July, m T e o n ii , t t c h l l i e k o b ff n n , 1808. It was proceeded by t n b rn e sa w e a d r, th ß e and others, one to the Finns, the other to the Swedish a r g ivl ti Kl army. The first announced, without any attempt at proof, however, that the Emperor of R uss i a was driven by the conduct of the King of Sweden, and by conside rations of the safety of his own kingdo m to place Fin land and take under his own protection possession of it. The second excited the army to defection and de sertion. _ . - On the 6th and 13th. of July other expeditions from Sweden made two attempts to get possession of Kris tiniestad, on' the south-west coast. Each time the Swedish forces were driven back to their vessels by Colonel Orloff Denisoff, who was occupying K.ristiniestad and Kasco on the shore, and Kauhajocki in the interior. On the 20th of July the Russians defeated, at the foot of the bridge at Finnstrom, a corps of insurgents, sup ported by the troops of the garrison of 11 7 1 , a, which the Swedes had just reoccupied. On the 27th they were beaten at Kaubajocki. At the same time the Swedish naval force effected a new landing at Kristinie stad, their troops took possession of this town for the third time, but they were for the third time driven out again. At length Kauhajocki, retaken by Orloff Deni soff, is reconquered on 2d August by the Swedes. We see that up to this time the successes were about equal on both sides, and that the Swedes could only be con quered by a superior force. The Russian army, in fact, was receiving daily numerous reinforcements—its forces increased every day, whilst those of Sweden were weak ening by the efforts made during their heroic but un equal resistance. On the Ist of September, General Kamenski marched towards Sippola, at the head of a very considerable body of troops. Klingsporr immediately _evacuated Wass, and fell back on Gamle Carleby. Attacked by Kamenski at Orawais, he was defeated after a partial success in the most bloody battle of the war. From that time, despairing of regaining Finland with the feeble resources which remained, he returned to Stock holm to make known the situation to the King Gusta vus IV., who would not listen to his representations. When he left he had'given up the command of his army to the old General Klercker. Kamenski advancing along the Gulf of Bothnia, drove this army from position to position to Brahestadt. The Swedish army was sta tioned at Salo, Palo, Savolax, and Plsocki—the van guard at Piehangi. It had suffered cruelly in the retreat. Reduced to 6.000 men, by fatigue, sickness, and misery, getting no subsistence from the sea, which was covered with ice, deeply discouraged, and unable to make head against an enemy •so superior in strength, it was placed in the most critical situation. Its generals deeming, therefore, resistance no longer possible, deter mined to communicate with Kamenski, for the purpose of treating of the evacuation of Finland. They obtained at first, on the 16th of November, 1808, a suspension of arms for two days, on the condition of abandoning Brahestadt, and of pushing back their vanguard to Olki jocki. On the 29th a convention was signed, in virtue of which they evacuated the part of the shore which they still held, and retreated to Tornea. The armistice was to terminate on the 27th of December—it was after wards prolonged indefinitely. But the Emperor Alexander disapproved of these ar rangements. Availing himself of the thickness of the ice which covered the Gulf of Bothnia, in the month of January, 1809, he prepared an expedition for the pur. pose of taking the Aland Islands. At the same time he ordered General Schowaloff, first, to denounce the ar mistice, and then to drive back the remains of the S wedo- Finnish armies upon the western coast of the Gulf of Bothnia, and to advance into Western Bothnia by way of Tornea and Pitea. The two corps d'armee commenced their march in the month of March, 1809. The Aland Isles were defended by General Dobelu, and attacked by the corps of Bagration, The Swedish forces, although hard pressed, made an obstinate resistance. But Dobelu, informed by a courier of the revolution at Stockholm— which had just overturned the throne of Gustavus IV., and had pl ace d th e regency of the kingdom in the hands ' of the Duke of Sudermania—communicated this event to the Russian generals, and prayed for a suspension of hostilities. This was refused ; and Dobelu, forgotten in the midst of the events that were happening at Stock holm, was soon reduced to the necessity of a precipitate retreat. In the meantime Sehowaloff made himself master of Tornea, and compelled General Grippenberg to sign at Catix, on the 25th March, a convention, by which the remainder of the Finnish army was disbanded, and the whole country between Catix and Tornea, ceded to the Russians. Thus ended the war which brought Fin land under the dominion of Russia—a war which, if the measures of the Finnish general bad been better pre pared in anticipation of a surprise—if the military forces of Sweden, which, although amounting to upwards of 100,000 fighting men, were yet insufficient for the de fence of Finland, had been more effectively employed— might have had a very different result. Nay, there is reason to believe, that had it not been for the initial oversight, had it not been for Klingsporr's disastrous retreat before an enemy whom he had never yet fought with, and whom subsequently he vanquished more than once, under circumstances far less favourable, Finland would have remained a Swedish province. The responsibility fell ultimately on the King, Gustavus IV., whoso interve n tion, equally irrational and despotic, crippled the operations of his generals, and was the principal cause of their reverses. Upon him also fell the penalty. Everybody knows how much the loss of Fin land influenced that national movement which tore from his brow the ancient and glorious crown of Sweden. s:frynations impro abuvtio yleastteernday of the e s r a ig ll h y t , v Gustavus IV., when he heard of this aggression on p th e e rl p y a r r e t p o li f ed a On the 3d of March, 1803, he ordered the arrest of the . Russian Minister at Stockholm, M. d'Al opceus. The Emperor Alexander took care not to imitate this pro• to po it w b e y r ceeding, but he seized the opportunity to declare to Europe that he was i n corporating w i th hi s own states that part of Finland which his troops had a l ready con quered. This was unmasking the in tention of the war , and the covetousness which occasioned it. The Russian General-in-Chief, Buxhowden, advanced rapidly towards Tavasthus, where Count Klingsporr who bad com e f rom Stockholm, was posted with 5,000 men. The Swedish general, Klercker, disputed the approach step by step, and had made every preparation for a battle; but Klingsporr, nut daring to assume the re s p ons ib ility of contr avening th e positive orders of his sovereign, and forming an exaggerated estimate of the force of the Rus sians, retreated and abandoned without striking a blow, nearly the whole of Finland to the enemy. Th e R ussians ' hand nothing to do then, but to march forward. The south and centre of Finland, the island of Aland and Gothland, fell thus into their hands at the commence ment of April, 1803. The war was not terminated. Count Rlingsporr had retreated, it is true, towards the north, but he had pre served the important part of his army. His march was not interrupted, and his line of retreat was not cut off. An hostile r e t ur n o n his part mi▪ ght any d a y c h ange the situation. In order to avert thi▪ s danger?, and to put an end to it, Count Buxhowden had thrown forward all his forces in the direction of Uleaborg, with orders to attack the enemy wherever they should come up w i t h him. But Kli ngs p or r after having continued his march by Limango and Brabestad, all of a sudden assumed the offensive, and gained a marked advantage at &Ira jocki in a contest which was the first truly serious affair of the campaign.

The harbour is bad, but the roadstead has some advantages. This town was founded by Cathe rine 11., in 1792, and rose rapidly under the judicica ; administration of the Duke de Richlieu, a French emigre, under Alexander. It owes its flourishing condition to the exportation of wheat from Podolia, Bessarabia, and New Russia. The population is very mixed, presenting specimens of most nations subject to and bordering on Russia. There are two harbours, one for Russian ships of war and coasters ; the other the quarantine harbour, for ships coming from the Bosphorus. It has twenty streets, macadamised, or paved with granite. The houses, all built of stone, are very respectable and sub stantial structures. Inclitding its cathedral, it has no fewer than twenty-two churches, sixteen docks, thirty bridges, bazaars, baths , and a the atre. There is also a college, which was founded in 1817, and which, in 1846, had no fewer than thirty-two tutors, and nearly two hundred students.

POS,PAGE ON NEWSPAPERS. 13y command of the Postmaster-General the following notice has been issued to the public : " General Post-office, August, 1854. "1. The Lords of the Treasury have been pleased to in crease, from two to three ounces, the weight allowed for publications hearing newspapers stamps, but not being strictly newspapers, which are permitted to pass through the post under the newspaper privilege. "2. Their lordships have thought it necessary, at the same time, to lay down the following regulations, viz.:— " 1. That no such publication shall be permitted to pass under the newspaper privilege unless it be so folded as to expose to view the newspaper stamp. " 2. That no such publication shall have any cover or outside wrapper (a loose cover being of course allowe,l for the address), and that the stamp shall be affixed to the title page, or any other page of the publicati on (p rov id e d it be exposed to view when folded), which page shall form a part of the sheet of paper on which the publication is printed. "3. In every instance in which the foregoing regula tions are not complied with, or the weight of 3 oz. is exceeded, the publication will not be allowed to pass under the newspaper privilege, but will be charged with the ' unpaid' rate of letter postage, and, if it exceed the weight of 4 oz. will be sent to the dead letter office ; and it will be the duty of postmasters to enforce the above conditions st ictly. "4. To ensure as far as possible a compliance with these regulations, not only when stamped publications are in the first instance transmitted through the post, but also upon any subsequent posting of them, it is suggested that they should have a short notice to purchasers printed on the title-page, drawing attention to the necessity of exposing the newspaper stamp to view whenever they are sent through the post. _ _ "5. As publications of this kind cannot be forwarded to places abroad under the newspaper privilege unless they be posted within seven days from the date of publication, it is necessary that they should in every case have the date of publication conspicuously printed upon them. 6. It is advisable that no stamped publication, if it nearly approach to the prescribed limit.of weight, should be posted in a damp state ; as whilst in that condition it may be found to exceed 3 oz., and, therefore, be liable to charge. " 7. In order to afford opportunity to the proprietors of stamped publications for complying with these regulations, they will not be carried into effect until the Ist Novem ber next. "8. It must be understood that the formal permission of the Postmaster-General will still be necessary in the first instance, in order to the transmission of any stamped pub lication not strictly a newspaper, through th e pos t un d er the newspaper privilege. " 9. No stamp will be required on any supplement to the publication entitled Lloyd's List, provided such publica tion bear a newspaper stamp, and the supplement be sent with it.

She will,, if the tides permit, be put out of d..ck on the same day, if not on Monday follow nig, Her steam machinery department will be quite ready by that time. The crew of the Impregnable, 104, Captain Wise, in Hamoaze, rove life lines on Mon lay for exercise of the crew, preparatory to the arrival of the Lords of the Ad mita! ty. Cotoastis, 80, Captain R. S. Robinson, has got every thing on board except powder. She will now paint outside, and with another 150 blue jackets is ready for any service in 24 hours. She has stowed 290 tons of coals, and has found more room for provisions than could have been expected. She has picked up lots of Atholl men. The frigate Inconstant, 36, has been towed from her moorings in Hamoaze to the jetty of the Devonport dockyard to be jury-rigged and fitted as a receiving ship for Queenstown. The Eck, 20, screw steam corvette, recently launched from the shipbuilding yard of John Scott Russell and Company, with all her machinery on board, and one of Griffith's screw propellers in its proper place, was taken into dock at Woolwich, to be coppered and made ready for commission. The Malacca is completing her stock of coals at Sheer- ness from the brig Porcia, of Colchester. More iron ballast is being bent off to bring her down to her intended displacement in the water. A number of the blue jackets, since receiving their advance, have been on liberty on shore. The men are most punctual in their return at the expiration of their leave, and they express a wish that they may be sent where they can do their duty to their country and their officers. ' The Harrier, 16, new screw sloop, was removed from the steam-factory basin at Portsmouth yesterday, and placed alongside the dockyard for facility of equipment. Commander Story had not arrived yesterday to commis sion her. The Salamander, 6, paddle-sloop, Commander Priest, hauled out of the factory-basin yesterday morning to the stream in the harbour, to have her compasses adjusted. The Spy brigantine had her compasses adjusted yes terday (by swinging ship), under the directions of Mr. John C. Barlow, master of the Formidable, guard-ship of ordinary; The Rhadamanthus, paddlewheel steam store•vessel, Master Commander Belam, has been sent into the basin at Woolwich to take on board a portion of the machinery of the Exmouth, 91, screw steamship at Devonport, and convey it to that port. She left the Melampus, 42, frigate, at Pembroke, as it is now doubtful if that ship will proceed to Glasgow to bring round the machinery said to have been made by Napier for the Russian Go vernment. Mr. Napier states that the engines in ques tion were never intended to be sent to Russia, and, therefore, they are not liable to be seized by the British Government. The Black Eagle, Master-Commander Petley, arrived on Monday evening with some of the Lords of the Ad miralty from Weymouth. The Vivid, steam-vessel, arrived in harbour yesterday morning from the eastward. The American packst sailed from St. Helen's roads yesterday morning for New York. APPOINTMENTS. Lieutenant—John B.

THE GIIN-BOATS.-TRIAL OF LANCASTER'S GUN. The Arrow, screw despatch gun-vessel, Lieutenant- C mnairder Jolliffe, left Spitbead yesterday afternoon for the Needle Rocks, Isle of Wight, to test the efficacy of her new and powerful armament. Her Majesty and Prince Albert, in the Victoria arid Albert, Captain the Hon. Joseph Denman ; the Lords of the Admiralty, with their flag flying in the Black Eagle steam-yacht, Master-Commander Petley; the Dasher, steam-vessel, Captain Le Febvre, also with a party on board ; the Fairy Royal yaciit, with a party on hoard ; and the Bee, steam-tender to the Excellent, with Captain Sir Thomas Maitland, Captain Savage, and the whole staff of Excellent on hoard, and numerous craft from Cowes went to the scene of operations to witness the trial, all returning in the evening. We repeat that there has been altogether a misunder standing respecsing gun-boats for the Baltic, their uses, and their efficiency. The authorities have been igno rantly reproached-Ist, because it has been reported that there are immense numbers of gun-boats in the Baltic ; 2d, because the Admiralty sent out the Jasper, Pigmy, Cuckoo, &c., as gun-boats ; 3dly, because the Admiralty desiihed a class of vessels which, from their draft of water, .would be useless in the Baltic. Now, in the first place, it may be asked, where are these hun dreds of gun-boats in the Baltic ? Everybody seems to have adopted the notion of their existence, but nobody has ever seen them.' But allowing them to exist, what chance have they at the present day with a fleet of which two-thirds are steamers ? Their power and efficiency, their means of annoyance or destruction, were at an end when the first steamer was launched. Secondly, it should be observed, that the Pigmy, Jasper, Cuckoo, and Co., were never fitted out or intended to be used in the Baltic as gun-boats. Sir Charles Napier wanted some old vessels that he could " expend"—some vessels that be could make "fire-ships" of should he require them ; when most aptly for the service the Admiralty patched up those old steamers that had been advertised to be sold, and sent them out to the fleet. Thirdly, the Admiralty never designed the 470-ton vessels Arrow, Beagle, Wrangler, &c., as gun-boats. They always were, and now are, intended to be employed as despatch-boats, but with so powerful an armament as to be useful for heavy gunnery work should they be wanted. The real gun-boats are those in course of construction ; four are being built at Northfleet and two at Deptford dock yard. They are of 200 tons, and about GO horse power, high-pressure screw engines, draw less than six feet water, and all have their machinery under the water line, and therefore not exposed .to shot. These low, long, eight or nine knots an hour gun-boats will clear the coasts of a myriad of the row gun-boats of the Baltic if they are there.—Morning Herald. MORE RUSSIAN PRIZES. Her Majesty's ship Archer was at Memel on the 18th of August making arrangements for sending borne the 14 prizes anchored in that port, taken by her Majesty's crnizers for breaking the blockade of the Russian ports in the Gulf of Finland, naval coast volunteers having come out to work them home to England Yesterday another. prize-ship, the Jonge Albert, of which Van der Zee was late the master, taken a prize by her Majesty's steamer Conflict for breaking the blockade of Rip. arrived in the river in charge of Mr. Dickins, from Harlingen, where her cargo was landed by the Dutch authorities. She is to be taken into the West India Docks for condemnation. The Court of Admiralty has reserved its judgment with respect to the Union, of Flensburg, prize to her Ma jesty's ship Cruiser, for violating the blockade of Riga, for proof that the blockade was in force and that its existence had been made known. With respect to the Norwegian vessel Nornen, prize to the Archer for break ing the blockade of Riga, the Court of Admiralty has reserved its judgment. In the case of the Ostzee, a Mecklenburg- vessel, taken by her Majesty's ship Alban for breaking the blockade of Cronstadt, the Court of Admiralty has pronounced against the seizure, but has refused costs and damages against the Alban for the unlawful detention. THE SUSPICIOUS YANKEE CRUISER GRAPE- SHOT. It is stated that the Grapeshot, a vessel that created some stir by being reported some time since in the Eng lish Channel as a Yankee privateer, "has cleared out in a roost mysterious manner from New Orleans, 'with a cargo of muskets." Our cruisers in the West Indies will doubtless look after this "Grapeshot." If up to any pranks, she will find herself some fine day under range of one of Lancas ter's " canisters." THE CREW OF THE JANUS. The Janus, paddle, Lieut. Kane, is still at her moor ings on the west shore, Sheerness. Her crew have for the present been retained on board ; their ultimate dis posal is not yet known, but they expect still to be drafted to the Indefatigable, for which ship they volun teered. Mr. Fisher, the gunner, upon whom the late court-martial was held for desertion, but acquitted, is likewise on board. RECEIVING-SHIP FOR RUSSIAN PRISONERS. The Devonshire, receiving -ship for Russian prisoners of war, has had the collier Hercules and the water-tank vessel alongside, to complete her store of fuel and water preparatory to the draft of Russian prisoners of war (500) being transferred to her, now on their passage home by the Algiers, 90, screw steam-ship, returning here to take in her lower deck guns, left here for the convenience of receiving French troops for the Aland Islands. DEPARTURE OF TOE 34TH REGIMENT. The 1800 tons screw-ship, Mauritius, went out of Portsmouth Harbour, yesterday morning, at nine o'clock, with the 34th Regiment on boi.rd and one company of Sappers and Miners. They were to lie -to off Osborne, for his Royal Highness Prince Albert to board and inspect them. The gallant soldiers cheered heartily as they left the harbour, and received the same honest compliment from the ships of war and the shore. INVALIDS FROM THE EAST. Detachments, consisting of the Grenadier Guards and Coldstreams, with the 33d and 34th Regiments, arrived at Chatha m on Monday evening from Portsmouth, as invalids from Turkey.

General ' Jones's battery of 32-pounders was finished in the night and ready to open ; but not being wanted was turned against the eastern tower, and on the morning of the 15th ho opened his fire : the battery was manned by seamen and marine artillery from th e four ships named in the margin*, under the direction of Captain Ramsay, of the Hogue, assisted by Commander Preedy, Lieutenant Somerset, of the Duke of Wellington, and the officers named in the magin -I.; their fire was beautiful. 2. At six p.m. one side was knocked in, and the tower surrendered. In the attack on the western tower the Chasseurs, with Minnie rifles, were employed so successfully, that it was difficult for the enemy to load their guns ; in the attack on the eastern tower we had no Chasseurs, and they were enabled to load their guns with more facility. 3. Oar loss has been trifling, one man killed and one wounded, but I have to lament the death of the Honour able Lieutenant Cameron Wrottesley, R.E., who was mor tally wounded by a cannon ball, and died twenty minutes after he had been sent to the Belleisle. 4. The enemy had 6 men killed ; 7 wounded, and 125 were taken prisoners. I have sent the latter to the Ter magant. 5. The loss of the French at the western tower was also trilling. 6. Loth batteries were admirably constructed and ad mirably fought, which accounts for the small loss. General Jones speaks in high terms of the conduct of the seamen and marine artillery, and the precision of their fire. 7. During the time theoperations were going on, Gen. Ba raguay d'Hilliers was employed in establishing his breching batteries against the fortress, and the French and English steamers, as per margin 4 supported by Trident (bearing the flag of Rear-Admiral Peuau), Duperre, Edinburgh, and Ajax, kept up a well-directed fire from their shell guns, and very much damaged the fortress, whilst Captain the Hon. F. T. Pelham, of the Blenheim, kept up a beau tiful fire from a 10-inch gnn, landed in the battery we had driven the enemy out of a few days before. His position was ono of great danger, but the battery was put in such good order by Captain Pelham, that the men were well covered, and he had no loss. 8. The General's breaching batteries will be ready by to-morrow, and they shall be well supported by the ships of-the-line of both nations, and the steamers. The narrow ness of the ground on which the General has established hil breaching battery, very much circumscribes the space; the greatest caution will be necessary to prevent firing on his troops, and the little space in tho anchorage before Boma.rsund, and the intricacy of the navigation, will pre vent ships approaching the main fortress so near as could be wished; but when the batteries are established acting in the rear of the fort, and supported by the shell guns in front, it cannot hold out more than a few hours. 9. I have put off to the last moment the departure of the mail, but I shall send an extra courier the moment the fort surrenders. 10. The western tower was fired either by accident or design, I do not know which, and blew up at eleven a.m. yesterday. 11. i am sorry to add that Lieutenant Cowell, Royal Engineers, Aide-de-camp to Briadier-Genera.l Jones, was u n f or t unate l y wounded - in the leg by the accidental discharge of his pistol ; he is now on board the Belleislo, doing well, but the loss of his services is much to ha regrettod.--I have, &c., (Signed) CHAS. NAPIF:R, Vice-Admiral and Commander-in-Chief. The Secretary of the Admiralty. P.S. —A return of the whole of the force landed, and of casualties, will be forwarded by the next opportunity, to gether with an inventory of stores and list of prisoners. SURRENDER OF BOMARSUND. Bulldog, off Bomarsund. August 16, 1554. Sir,—ln continuation of my despatch of this date, I beg you will inform their lordships that, after sending away the mail, the fortress opened a heavy fire on Captain Pelham's battery, which had annoyed them much, and which he maintained ail yesterday and to-day, and it is wonderful how he and his men escaped. He had with him Lieutenant Close and Mr. Wildman, mate, of whoni he speaks highly. Seeing his position, I immediately ordered the ships and steamers named in the margin,§ who were within range with their 10-inch guns, as well as the French mortars on shore, which had been playing on them some time, to give them a shot and shell every five minutes and their fire was so well directed that the enemy held out a flan. of truce. 2. ' 71 sent Captain Hall (of the Bulldog) on shore, who was shortly joined by Admiral Parseval's Aide-de-Camp, and two of General Baraguay d'Hillier's staff, and the troops in the fortress agreed to lay down their arms and march out. No. 355. 3. After I had landed I was joined by the French Ad miral and the Commander-in -Chief of the Army ; the pri soners (about 2,000 I believe) were marched out and em barked in steamers, and proceeded to Led Sand, to Com modore the Hon. Frederick Grey, who will conduct them to the Downs to await further orders. 4. I beg to congratulate their Lordships on the fall of this important fortress, which will be followed by the the submission of the Garden of Islands, with so small a► loss ; and I am happy to say the greatest cordiality has subsisted between the French General and Admiral and myself, as well as between the soldiers and sailors of the two nations. 5. As soon as I can collect a list of the stores captured, it shall be forwarded to their lordships, and a Commissary has been named for that purpose. 6. This despatch will be'delivered by my Flag Lieute nant (Lieutenant John. de Courcy Agnew), whom I beg to recommend to their Lordships for promotion.—l have, &c., (Signed) CHARLES NAPIER, Vice-Admiral and Commander-in-Chief.

T.HI3 NEW .SERI? ACT. DEPUTATION TO THE COMMISSIONIIRS OP POLICE. Yesterday ft deputation, congaing of -Mr. -L B. Simp ' son, Cremorne-house ; Mr. W:. Luce, King's Arms I T ' .ptoia•court_; Mr. J. W. Adams, Star and Gan. -- vzbridge ; and Mr. J. lirby, White Lion, Putn ,ed on_ Sir Richard Mayne, at Scotland-yard, to state the grievances inflicted upon them and upon the public by the operation of the new act, and to take hi, opinion as to the meaning of the word " traveller:' Mr. Hinton, Highbury Barn, and Mr. Conquest, Eagle Tavern, although unable to attend, concurred in the ob ject of the deputation. Mr. T. B. SIMPSON introduced the deputation, and stated their object to be to take Sir Richard's advice as to the best mode of proceeding under the new act, and to show how seriously it interfered, not with their in terests, but with the recreations and comforts of the public. Mr. LUCE wished to call the commissioner's attention to the hardship that bad been inflicted in his case. His customers were principally gentlemen who came more who distinctly u ee n n de s r o t d h e e fi d n e e s d ig b u y atio i n r. o L f o t n r g av i e u ll b er is s d t e h c a i n sio t n hose re specting Jack Straw's Castle. Ho had requested some of them to put down their names in a book, and to state their opinions of the new act, and he begged the com missioner t o l oo k over it . (Mr. Luce here produced a book containing the signatures of persons from almost nil parts of the world—Cairo, Turin, United States, Ire land, Scotland, Germany, &0., who having visited his house on Sundays since the passing of the act, protested in various languages against its inconvenience and op presive character.) These parties all applied to him for refreshment as travellers, and his object in attending there was to ask the commissioner in how far the inspec tor was justified in summoning him for supplying them. Sir R. M.iva said that it was the duty of the police London. He I Hb t oe w o k a h s awd f h o ni r coht t to obtain cases for the decision of the magistrates. His duty b was merely executive —to see that the law was he re. m s agistrates to decide on the proper interpretation of the law. With respect to the Luceght slightest I dispositioncproduced,me last ttoh carry r o bability was that all the travellers had from P if pdthori be trade duty nu was decidedat h ad iadtt inconvenienced, t meaning nboetpb rr oinp out the law in an inconvenient or g e 1' the tbrui ebt c uw a hu s cases oppressiveth orrada'n'nt;, but nw ve oa l ts l tra veller" r t se ' o'wrdsar doing should fa ls. b should efo n r e e the magistrates. Mr. IrcE said he supposed that in districts where the magistrates had decided the police would not again interfere. The COMMISSIONER said it was not for him to say. If a number of magistrates decided the sam e w ay , it would of course be a guide to him in carrying out the acts. Mr. LLTE observed that, from the mode in which the act had been hurried through Parliament, at the close of the session, one half the public were not aware of its pro visions. Sir IL MAYNE repeated that he had nothing to do with that matter. His duty was to see the law exe cuted; but it was no part o f his intention to have it carried out in a harsh or oppressive manner. He had told the superintendent to caution Mr. Luce on last Sunday that he was infringing the law, and be intended to take the opinion of the magistrate. By that opinion he, of course, would be guided in future proceedings. Mr. LACE wished to take Sir Richard's opinion as to whether, the police having obtained sufficient evidence of the infringement of the law in his coffee room on Sun day last, they were justified in insisting upon entering private rooms, when parties were at dinner. Sir E. MAINE said that that depended on the circum stances of the ease. He would cause inquiry to be made. Police officers had a right to do many things from which they refrained, as his instructions to them always was to carry out the law with as much moderation as possible. Mr. T. B. SIMPSON* said that hie case differed some what from that of Mr. Luce, but equally showed the unfair operation of the act. Indeed, he believed that if Pailiament had known the real nature of the case they would never have passed it at all. Sir R. MAYNE asked whether it bad not been brought in by Mr. W. Patten ? Mr. B. SIMPSON—Yes, he had endeavoured to con form to the act as much as possible, but last Sunday had not been able to please the inspector. He had closed all the bars, and had ceased to serve customers before 10 o'clock, but found it impossibe to clear the people out for 20 minutes after. The inspector said he Must report, but he (Mr. Simpsoi ) wanted to know how he was to clear 1,500 people out of his grounds in less than 20 minutes. He had been told that at Gravesend the act was set at open defiance, and that at the Star and Garter, Richmond, business was carried on just as usual. The inspector had told him he must clear out at 10, as an example to his neighbours, but it should be recol lected that they had probably to clear out only 12 feet square, while he had 12 acres. They might have 20 people to remove, while he had 1,500. The inspector further asked him why the house could not be cleared on Sunday as well as on Saturday night ; but his answer was, that in one case the people knew the law, and thought it just ; in the other, they did not, and thought the curtailment of their liberty unreasonable. On Satur day night the bell rang, and in five minutes every one was out ; but on Sunday, on the Fame signal, there was almost an eiii coc in the grounds, so angry were the pub lic at what they considered to be an arbitrary and tyran nical restriction. They yelled, hooted, and tumbled the lamps and glasses about. He had had averages of 7,000, 8,000, and 10,000 people at Cremorne on Sunday after noons, and order and decorum were preserved by oa• policeman. These crowds were no drunkards, but respect. able members of the community, who, having saved their money during the week, came out to enjoy the fresh air on Sundays. Sir R. Mavere said he could himself speak to the good order which prevailed in Cremorne-gardens, but the question they had now to consider was, that there was a certain law, and they must conform to it. He should think, however, that if the sale of liquors was honestly closed at ten o'clock, a reasonable time might be allowed by the police for clearing the grounds. He meant, of course, a bonic fide closing ; as the law might be evaded by buying a large quantity just before the time. (Sir R. Mayne then sent for the summoning book, and showed that although several summonses had been issued, the cases did not agree with that described by Mr. Simpson.) Mr. KIRBY (White Lion, Putney) said that on last Sunday he had several gentlemen come to his house in broughams and phaetons, who ordered dinner. They also wanted wine and ale, and he wished to know who. ther he should be justified in supplying them eionitnteoyflaasawnidaecxttehcoaeftted. parliament. All he h a d t o Sir R. MAY NN d ec li ned giving any opinion on th aa con i‘s t tr r o. u s c Ke t one-half the public were aware that such a law had been passed. The fact was, that the whole trade had been " sold" by the Licensed Victuallers' Protection Society, which was governed by about a dozen gin -shop keepers in London, whose busi ness was quite different from that of suburban hotels. He was obliged to lay in poultry, fish, and other perish. able food, and if not allowed to sell them on Sunday they would all be dead loss. Mr. ADAMS (Star and Garter) said he had a to ble d'hote on Sundays for respectable people coming from London. All the food would be lost, if he were obliged. strictly to obey the late act. Sir R. MAYNE said that these cases might be hard ts h h e i p l s a , w b u w t a t s h , e a i q ui u e t s e t i h o a n vfeo it h e i x m e t e o t e a d s , c e r a t a e i n wwisahsed what done as moderately as possible, and for that reason ha d suggested the taking of all power from the common in flrmer. The summonses were now all applied for by the police, and he refused more than be granted. The deputation then withdrew, having first thanked Sir Richard Mayne for the great courtesy with which they had been received. SURREY ZOOLOGICAL GARDENS.
