THE HALF-HOLIDAY MOVEMENT.—During the last few days, the following circular has been issued to the book trade :—" The undersigned being desirous of pro moting the comfort and recreation of the persons in their employment, as far as is consistent with the due dis charge of their business, by closing at an earlier hour, have agreed to close their establishments, during the months of April to September inclusive, on Saturdays, at three o'clock. R. Bentley, Chapman and Hall, John Churchill, Hurst and Blackett, Edward Moxon, John Murray.—July 28, 1854." Some of the houses in the "Row," amongst which is the ReUgious Tract Society (wholesale department), itself employing upwards of 40 assistants, have also announced their intention to close throughout the year, on Saturdays, at two o'clock— magazine time only excepted. CORKS AND BIINGS.—We recently visited the factory of the London Cork Cutting Company, and proceeded through a warehouse stacked with huge piles of cork, tied up in bales as imported into this country, to a little yard in the rear of the building. Here we found one of the workmen busily engaged over a blazing fire of cork shavings, on which was placed a huge gridiron. He was "charring" the cork, as the operation is called—that is to say, he was literally broiling and blackening it on this gridiron. It is this pro cess that gives the bungs that dark exterior which they always possess ; it also closes the pores, without at all diminishing the size or lessening the weight of the cork. Returning to the warehouse, we were enabled to inspect the curious and interesting machinery by which the manu facture is accomplished. To those of our readers who may be engaged in manufactures of various kinds, which call in the aid of steam machinery, it may not be uninteresting to present a brief descriptive sketch of the mode in which these slices or sheets of the cork bark were turned into bottle-corks ;Ind bungs. A sheet of cork is placed on an iron table, in which revolves a circular knife, by which all " knobs and excrescence" are pared off. Parallel with the knife, and at a distance from it, regulated by the size of the cork required, is a little guage, or edge. Puahing the cork against. the edge of the knife, and passin:rit between the knife and theguage, the sheet is speedily cut into long strips. One boy can cut in this way half a ton of cork in a day. By a similar process these slips are cut into little parallelo grams, the length of the cork required. A lad, at ls. per day, turns out 80 gross, or 11,500 per diem, while the most experienced workman, by hand-labour, could hardly do half as much within the same per i o d, although he would charge 5 or 6 times the money for his labour. These paral lelograms are then taken to another machine. The boy places one on a lever, holds it there with his hind; the lever, hand, and cork are carried up to an iron table ; two " holders" now seize the squ are p i ece of cork exactly iu its centre, and it begins to revolve ; the hand and lever return. Now there come- along, horizontally, a fearfully large knife a yard in length—which catches the parallelo gram of cork on the side as it is turning round to its edge. It will easily be seen that the square is thus cut into an ordinary bottle cork; and we may remark also, as a curi ous fact, that out of 10,000 of these parallelograms, around cork would, in every individual case, be cut of th e ver y largest dimensions mathematically possible; and not only , so, but the entire 10,030 would be, in the strictest mathe matical sense of the word, of precisely the same size and circumference. As the knife recedes, the holders drop the perfect cork into one basket, and the shavings into another, and the knife, by an ingenious process, is made to sharpen itself. From 16 to 25 corks can be, and are, cut in a minute; and there are children of from 12 to 14 years of age who mike at the rate of 70 gross a day. By a similar machine, though somewhat more complicated, bums are cut, both round and tapering, at one operation. There appeared considerable beauty in the perfect accuracy and, precision, with which these corks were turned out by the machines; but this satisfactory result has only been at tained after the purchase, trial, and rejection of several' P _ g a e fter e xtensive experi men t a ti on, an d th e sacrifice ' quan tity of machin ery . Th e store - room was suggestive t as ive of some interesting reflections. There were Packages of fifty or on e hun dred gross, or more, labelled and ready to depart, some to various quarters of the United' Kingdom, and othorsfordifferent p ar t s of the world.

WINDSOR, Aug. 2. _Until this morning, the 46th were under orders to sail from Southampton, in the Golden Fleece, on Saturday next, provided the proceedings of the court martial now being held had been finally con cluded and confirmed. To-day orders have arrived for prolonging the stay of the regiment definitively for a fortnight, and the 21st, now waiting for embarkation at Dublin, will sail by the Golden Fleece, for the seat of war in the East. Yesterday the light company and a portion of the grenadier company of the 46th arrived' from Kensington Barracks, under the command of Major Vesey, Lieutenant Dallas, and Lieutenant Llewellyn. They we re me t at the railway station by the band of the regiment, and marched into the Sheet street barracks about five o'clock in the afternoon; GALLANT CONDUCT OF A BRITISHT,OFFICER ON BOARD THE FLAG-SHIP VICTORY.—Again within a week we have to record a gallant act. One of the Victory's boys was coming down over the main futtock rigging, when the top rim, which be had hold of, gave way, and the lad fell into the sea, having struck Ho tuething in his descent which broke his arm and stunned. him. The poor boy must have gone to the bottom, but that a gallant officer, Lieutenint Webb, withouta moment's hesitation, jumped overboard all standing, and making a little dive brought the boy to the surface and saved him. The poor lad has been sent to Haslar Hospital much injured. The Lords of the Admiralty have given directions that, in consequence of the pressure of work existing in the various dockyards, the drills of the brigades of those establishments will not take place as usual this season, but that an increased number will be gone through next year ; and that it is their Lordships' intention to take an opportunity of seeing the men under arms before the summer is over.

The simplest • way to remedy habitual growling and fault-finding is to make a change. Sea Nymph, transport, received her mail on Tuesday, and sailed from Devonport in the afternoon. Stores of every kind are still being got ready for the Baltic and Black Sea fleets and armies, and the task of providing them at home and arranging the means of transport is continuously onerous. The large weekly additions to the forces, north and east, impose increased duties on the transport, victualling, and store depart- Ments. It is not only the first &ting out, but the permanent maintenance also, that has to be looked to. Everything must be arranged at home for the supply of clothes, provisions, and stores for some 120,000 men, French and English. Another Russian ship, called the Ida, Geesen late master, bound from Rio Janeiro, taken prize by her Majesty's steamer Gorgon, has been condemned by the Court of Admiralty, and she, with her cargo, consisting of 2,160 bags of coffee, is ordered to be sold for the benefit of her captors. SECOND COURT-MARTIAL ON LIEUT. PERRY. FIFTH DAY—WEDNESDAY. The Court re-assembled at eleven o'clock, in the officers' mess-room, at the Infantry Barracks, Windsor, Colonel Kelly. presiding. Major-General Wetherall was in his place as prosecutor: Major Dalgetty officiated as deputy-judge advocate. Lieutenant Perry, the prisoner, was attended by Mr. Darvill, of Windsor, as his legal adviser. The Court having been formally opened, the prisoner respectfully asked whether he might be permitted to call witnesses other than those on the list he had handed in. The President said that no limitation of witnesses would be made. The prisoner might call any witness for his defence. The cross-examination of Major Maxwell was resumed. Prisoner—Were there no instances of officers being pulled out of bed, after Dunscombe's, at Weedon Bar racks ? APPOINTMENT. Assistant-Surgeon—Wm. F. 0. Kay, M.D., to be assistant-surgeon to the Impregnable flag-ship, at Devon port. PROMOTION. Commander—Charles W. Hope (1848), recently serv ng as flag-lieutenant to Rear-Admiral Corry, in the Nep tune, 120, in the Baltic. Witness—Shortly after that case, several companies of the regiment went on detachment. I have been present with head-quarters up to this (late, and I know of no case at Weedon Barracks of any officer being pulled out of his bed. Prisoner—Do you not know of one particular case at Wooden, in which an officer (Hammond) was brought into the mess-room, placed upon the table, and asked to sing a song ? Witness—l have a slight recollection, now it is brought to my memory, of something of the kind happening, and no more, at Weedon. I think it was at Weedon, but it made no impression on my mind at the time. Prisoner—You admit that you are the person whom the colonel deputes to look after such matters ? How is it that you did not in this case give a severe reprimand ? Witness—Because the reprimands are only given when necessary, and I, in this case, certainly never saw any ne cessity for a reprimand. If it had been necessary, I should have given it. • RETIREMENT OF ADMIRAL CORRY. Rear-Admiral Corry's retirement from active service is now certain. The Admiralty have promoted his flag lieutenant, Mr. Charles W. Hope (1848), to the rank of cornmai-idter ^rt the usual nomination of the gallant ad hise- flag. DEPART:U.IIE Ur ADALituti. Prisoner—Did you never receive a private letter from me, through my servant, when at the Linen-hall Barracks, Dublin ? If so, can you produce it ? Witness—l have received private letters from Lieute nant Perry, in the Linen-hall Barracks, asking leave from r-'des and drills, but on no other subject that I am aware notes. Rear-Admiral the lion. M. Stopford proceeds at once to the Black Sea. Mr. Arthur Jones, who was secretary to the late Rear-Admiral Henderson, has been selected by Rear-Admiral Stopford as his secretary. ,her questions . to ask Major Max nis room at W eerton, ant, v it.zeo 0.. tattle, to sing song, or was he pulled out of bed, and brought by force ? Witness—l do not know how he was brought down, where ho was brought from, or whether force was used. But this I know, that the officer in question, during the time he has been in the regiment, has never made a com plaint to me, or to any one else, that I ever heard of, of ill-usage or ill-treattnent from any person in the regiment. By the Court—How soon after the settlement of the third complaint did Lieutenant Perry go from head-quarters on detachment; and did he make any complaint of ill-treat ment after his third complaint ? Witness—He went on dectachment about five months after the third complaint, and I never heard of another complaint from Lieutenant Perry. By the Court—Was the officer in question (Ensign Ham mand) placed on the table, and how was he dressed ? 'Witness—l have not the slightest recollection or faintest idea of the circumstances of the case, and should have for gotten it, had it not been called to my memory.' It made no impression on my mind. By the Court—What reason have you to believe that Colonel Garrett never called the prisoner a fool? Witness—l have reason. Colonel Garrett never speaks otherwise, except in the presence of one of the majo rs or to any officer on any point of duty, such as reprim and or senior officers, and the adjutant. And I think I was pre sent at the only time, to the best of my knowledge, that Colonel Garrett spoke to Lieutenant Perry, concern in g a reprimand, in the Linen-hall Barracks. On that occasion P ie ris e o n n a er n t (t rl hr ti o n u s g e h om thCot Colonel Garrett nev er use d th a t ex p res sion nor any term of reproach toward s Li eu t enan t P erry .

Lieutenant Perry's third and last complaint was made either in June or July, 1853. By the Court—Was Lieutenant Perry on detachment whilst the regiment was at Weedon, or was he at head quarters Witness—On detachment. He went on detachment in December, 1853, and did not rejoin until June, 1854, at Windsor. Major David Fyffe, of the 46th Regiment, was then called and sworn, the prosecutor statin g that, to save time, the witness would be exami ne d on the first and second charges. The charges were then read. Prosecutor—Were you present with the 46th Regiment at the Linen-hall Barracks, D u bli n ? Witness—l •was. Prosecutor—ls it within Your knowledge that Colonel Garrett did, on the occasion of his • making a complaint, or on any other occasion, call Lieutenant Perry a fool for his pains, or reproach him for making complaints ? not, m w p l i a t n i n t , r my or knowledge made us e ; ofnor s u d e i h d Garrett had reproached Lieute nantl ever ei Perryhear for C t h e r ma tt Colonel y ogne cl o an expression. Prosecutor—Do you know that Lieutenant Perry, of the 46th Regiment, ever sent a letter to Colonel Garrett, threatening that he would appeal to the general of the district, or that he ever threatened to do so? Witness—l never heard of such a threat, either by letter or word. Prisoner—Were you present when Colonel Garrett adjudicated on my report, and the words were said to have been used by Colonel Garrett to r ue ? Witness—l was not. Prisoner—Might not Colonel Garrett receive my letter, threatening to appeal to the General of the district, without your knowledge ? Witness—He might. Prisoner—Do you n ot recollec t another officer who actually sent an official lett er to Co lonel Garrett, threaten ing to appeal to the G eneral of the district, and that Col. Garrett, the next morning , use d unmeasured language towards of the him, public, the President ann ounced tha t the question might be put. regiment bef o re ? all The court was here cleared. On the re-admission of the the officers, captains, and sub alterns Witness— l cannot answer that question on my own knowledge. Prisoner—Did any one detail to you anything to that effect having taken place? And were you not one of the officers present when Colonel Garrett read Dunscombe's letter ? Witness—l have no recollection of any person detailing to me that anything of the sort had taken place ; nor do I recollect that I was present when Colonel Garrett read Dunscombe's letter. Prisoner—The first question on the re - assembling of the Court was read to you before you left the court. Did you communicate with any one respecting that q ues ti on when out of court? Witness—l mentioned that the question had been put, certainly. Prisoner—To whom? And what reply did you receive? Witness—l mentioned it to two or three officers, but I received no reply .° Prisoner—State who it was to whom you mentioned the question. Witness—Mr. Curtis and Captain Campbell were the only two officers to whom I mentioned it; others might have heard. I merely said the question was about Duns combo's business. Prisoner—Will you say distinctly, one way or the other, whether you wore or were not present when Dunscombe's letter was read by Colonel Garrett? Witness—l cannot amend my former answer. I have no recollection of being present when the letter was read. Prisoner—What did you mean by Dunscombe's busi ness ? Was that a phrase u nderstood by those officers ? Witness—l alluded to the answer of Colonel Garrett yesterday, reported in the n ewspapers, which has been tho subject of conversation amongst the officers this morning.

The prisoner drew the attention of the court to the fact that witness had changed the answer three times ; and he then put the following question :—To what occurrence do you refer specifically ? Witness—l referred to the fact of my having heard, in the course of casual conversation, that Lieutenant Duns combe had written a letter to (Jol. Garrett. Prisoner—Threatening to appeal to the general of the district ? Witness—l mean the letter alluded to in the former question ? Prisoner—And was not that letter, through Col. Gar rett, sent to the general of the district, and was it not known, and the subject of conversation amongst the officers ? Witness—l have no recollection of having heard, other wise than in casual conversation; that Lieutenant Duns combe had complained to the general of the district by letter. Prisoner—Was this complaint made by Dunscombe in consequence of having been brought from bed in his shirt into the ante-room ? How long ago was that ? Witness—l believe it was made in consequence of his being brought from his bed, but whether he was brought to,the ante-room Ido not know. I cannot recollect the 'time, nor Where it took place. By the Court—Are you aware of Lieutenant Perry being ,persecuted in any way, after the reprimand had been given by Colonel Garrett to the subaltern officers ? Witness—Most decidedly not. Prisoner—Ara you aware that I was often called names, and my company studiously avoided by nearly all the other officers because I complained to the commanding officer ? Witness—l am not aware that Lieut. Perry was ever• called names. Aud if his company was studiously avoided,. it was not because he had complained. Nor am I aware . that his company was ever studiously avoided. Prisoner—l must now trouble the Court with another question. The last answer contains an innuendo, and lam anxious that everything concerning me should be known, ever since I joined the regiment. I wish nothing to be dis guised or withheld. Question from prisoner —If avoided, for what cause ? Witness—l should say from his general temper. He ap peared to me (hesitation)—lt is a difficult question to answer. (After another pause.) I should ray that I did not associate with Lieut. Perry much in consequence of his general temper. I did not know why the others avoided him. It did not appear to me (hesitation) — The President—What ? Witness—That his general disposition and temper—they were such as I did not admire. The Court here adjourned for ten minutes. On re assembling. Captain Sandwith, of the 46th, was called and sworn. The first and second charges were read by the President. Prosecutor—Were you adjutant of the 46th Regiment when quartered in Dublin, and were yeti present with it? Witness—l was adjutant of the 46th .Regiment when quartered in Dublin, but was absent from it some short time; I think about ten or twelve days. Prosecutor—Did you ever hear Colonel Garrett call Lieutenant Perry a fool for his pains, and reproach him for making complaints ? Wituess—l never heard Colonel Garrett call Lieutenant Perry .a fool for his pains, nor did I ever hear him reproach Lieutenant Perry for making complaints. Prosecutor—Do you know whether Lieutenant Perry ever sent a letter to Colonel Garrett threatening to com plain to the general of the district ' • or that he ever , b y writing or word of mouth, threatened to do so ? Witness—l do not. Prosecutor —Have you any reason to believe that the persecution, alleged to have taken place towards Lieute nant Perry, ceased when that officer threatened to report Colonel Garrett to the general of the district ? Witness—l am not aware that such a threat was at any time made, or that Lieutenant Perry was ever persecuted. The tions to prose ask-cutor aniounced that h e h a d no f urther ques- Prisoner (in cross-examination)—Could not all that you have negatived take place, you being part oZ tha time on leave, and always living out of barracks bacause a married officer ? Witness—A system of persecution towards any officer could not have existed without my knowledge. It is not likely that Colonel Garrett would use such expressions ; and I am quite sure that such a letter does not exist in the orderly-room, and never did. I slept out of barracks, as a married man, but the whole of my day, except going to meals, was spent at the barracks. Prisoner—May I suggest to the Court that my questions are argued, not answered. The President—The answer, be it good or bad, must be taken. You can contradict it when on your defence. Prisoner (to witness)—Then do I understand that all you can speak to is that I was not systematically persecuted, the rest of the reply being argumentative ? At the suggestion of the President, and with the consent of the prisoner, the question was withdrawn. Prisoner—Are you not aware that I was pulled out of bed several times ; Waldey and Knapp's rooms turned up o tn iit oo o d f r o h w lv i . u s h . b bed; k • n a o n w d up side down ; Dunscombe ill-treated more than once ; Ham mond placed on the mess.table, whilst at Weedon ? Witness—l am not aware that Lieutenant Perry was pulled out of bed several times. I never heard of Waldey T ! , and nt i Knapp ' s arre.p,a a rooms n d g, being 7 seig 1 Th turned iena tir,hrev :i:ni upside of re to believe that he never was ill-treated since he a t s h o e n officers. With respect to Mr. nai1...!..,-.9., s everely. 2 joined the regiment. Prisoner—What were the words the colonel employed to Dunscombe•the morning after he was pulled out of bed, when the officers were assembled ? Witness—When the officers were assembled, which, I think, was two or three days after the occurrence, the colonel addressed himself at very considerable le ng th to the whole of them, but more particularly to those against whom the complaint had been made. I do not recollect him addressing himself particularly to Mr. Dunscombe. Such a time has elapsed that it is impossible for me to re collect what the colonel did say. The President—Does that answer the whole of the ques tion ? The Deputy-Judge-Advocate—l think it does. Prisoner (to witness)—You seem to know something about Dunscombe's case. Was that letter addressed by him to the colonel merely, or through the colonel to the general of the district ? Witness—To the colonel only. Prisoner—ls that letter still in the orderly-room, filed ? Witness—l should think not. The regiment has been moved three times since that letter was written. On those occasions all useless letters are destroyed, and I should think that was destroyed with them. By the Court—What expression did Colonel Garrett use In your presence to Lieutenant Perry, when Lieutenant Perry complained of ill-treatment from other officers of the regiment ? Witness -I do not recollect Colonel Garrett ever speak ing to Lieutent Perry in my presence on such a subject. By the Court—Was Lieutenant Perry's society shunned; and if so, why ? Witness—l can say that Mr. Perry's society was not sought for, in consequence of his disagaeeable manner—of his swaggering manner—leading any one to suppose that he was a man of enormous (witness did not finish the son tence)—his apparent contempt for everything military or regimental—his supposed debauched habits—and latterly, from ill-conduct in a money transaction. The prisoner here intimated a desire to put another question to the witness, who had attacked his character without the slightest chancel of proving the truth of his assertions. The President—The better way will bo to call witnesses to disprove the testimony of Captain Sandwith. Question from the Court —Were you not present when Colonel Garrett assembled the officers and reproved them, in consequence of a complaint from Lieut. Perry ? Witness—l should think not, as I have no recollection of the circumstance. I have already stated as much. The prisoner here handed in another question, and the Court decided that it might be put, but The President (addressing the prisoner) said—Lieut. Perry, I think you had much better meet the matter in another way. The Prisoner—l think so, sir. I must take other steps. I have very fortunately kept the whole of the letters con nected with the money transaction, and I should be sorry that so personal a matter should bo brought before the Court, more especially as it relates to purchasing steps in the regiment. I shall take other means of publicly refuting the aspersions cast upon my character by the witness. The question was then torn up by the President, and the witness was ordered to withdraw. Captain Nicholas, of the 46th Regiment, was then called, and sworn to give evidence on the first and second charge, which were read over to him. Prosecutor—Did you act as adjutant of the 46th Regi ment during any part of the time that regiment was quar tered in Dublin? Witness—l did ; when they were stationed at the Linen Hall barracks, and also at the Royal barracks. Prosecutor—Did you ever hear Colonel Garrett call Lieu tenant Perry a fool for his pains, or reproach him for making complaints? Witness—l never heard Colonel Garrett call Lieutenant Perry a fool for his pains ; nor did I ever hear him re proach Lieutenant Perry for making complaints. Prosecutor—Do you know whether Lieutenant Perry ever sent a letter to Colonyl Garrett, threatening to appeal to the general of the district, or that ho ever did, by word of month or writing, do so ? Witness—l never heard of such a thing being done by Lieutenant Perry. Prosecutor—Do you believe that the alleged persecution of Lieutenant Perry ceased in consequence of any such threat ? Witness—The alleged persecution of Lieutenant Perry ceased on Colonel Garret reprimanding an officer of the 46th, who had persecuted Lieutenant Perry. I never heard of any letter or threat by Lieutenant Perry to re port Colonel Garrett to the general of the district, in con sequence of such treatment. It being now past four o'clock, the Court adjourned until to-morrow (this day). [PRICE SD. RECONNAISSANCE WITH GEN. GUYO.N ON THE FRONTIER OF GEOIeGIA. KARS, July I.—On Wednesday morning, at an early hour, General Guyon started with several of his staff to reconnoitre the strength and whereabouts of the Rus sians, and I very gladly availed myself of permission to accompany them. After gaining the summit of the first long slope from Kais the ride lies over one of the finest expanses of plainland which I have yet seen in Asia Minor. Luxuriant grass rising to the horses' knees attests the fertility of the soil, and suggestS what this magnificent country might be under a better .rule, its productiveness for nearly every kind of crop being, in fact, all but unlimited. For miles and miles we rode on over this splendid waste . of meadow land, struck more and more as we adVanced with the multiplying signs of its natural richness, and meeting only —at long intervals—an odd herd of bullocks, tame buffaloes, or the small broad -tailed sheep of the country ;of crops or human habitations we saw none. Five hours and a half brought us to Subitan, a miserable village of two or three hundred. inhabitants; as perfect in its filth and apparent wretchedness as any other Turkish collection of holes in the earth, which goes by the same cumulative name. An advanced camp of some four thousand men, however, gives it a little present importance, and deprives it at the same time ofall means of supplying the simplest want of the passing traveller., Here we rested for an hour or two, during which I endea voured to procure some sort of refreshment ; but " for love or money" I could get nothing better than a morsel of hard black bread, against which bad teeth and (as yet) a slender. appetite equally rebelled. This unin vitirig'Meir,el; h'titeWbecaame less despicable when I learned froin Ismaili 3 Xcha (General Kinetty), who came in while we were there from the outposts, that he had not tasted food of any kind, except some wild cock sorrel, for three days. From Subitan General Guyon took a strong escort of lancers, to be prepared against contingencies, and with this we pursued our journey to the north-east. Before us, at a short distance, lay the hills of Georgia ; whilst, away some 30 miles on our right, uprose the broad and snow -crowned summit of the lonely Mount Ararat, overtopping in its solemn majesty, and eclipsing in interest, every other mountain height in view. Between Subitan and the frontier we passed several deserted villages, whose inhabitants have been driven to seek protection and sustenance near Erze roum ; two or three dogs—mere peripatetic anatomies, which contrive to exist on I know not what —were the only signs of life which lingered about the desolate and crumbling huts. As we had ridden slowly, it was late in the afternoon when we approached the Bashi Bazouk outposts, and came in sight of the Karstchai, which at this point divides Asiatic Turkey from the ter ritories of the Czar. I then learned from the general, for the first time, that we were to spend the night al fresco, and take the advantage of sunrise to make the intended reconnaissance—a piece of intelligence, by the way, which was far from agreeable, as I was without cloak or extra covering of any kind. However, it was too late to draw back, and grumbling at what cannot be mended is, at the best but a poor philosophy. Accord ingly, after a short haft and a subsequent ride along the banks of the river, during which nothing was to be seen more formidable than some distant Cossack piquets who were not thought worthy of a shot, we returned and bivouacked for the-night on an open spot which had the very uncomfortable characteristics of little grass and a soft surface. I must be effeminate enough to confess, that dinnerless and supperless as I was, the prospect of such a bed, after nine or ten 'hours' ride, was not over pleasant. However, there was no invidious distinction in the way of accommodation ; from the general himself to the trumpeter of the troop it was the same ; so down I lay, like Don Juan and his shipwrecked messmates, " With nothing but the sky for a great coat." Unpleasantly cool, however, as was this sub-Jove resting place, it had one advantage over every other I have yet met with since I stepped upon Turkish soil— fleas and bugs there were none, and this negative luxury went far to counterbalance the discomfort of the heavy night dew above and the damp earth beneath. Of the extent to which these two classes of vermin —especially the former—torture one in this country few but those who have suffered from their lacerations can form an idea. lam much inclined to think that if home insur ance companies knew of their terrific voracity, they would charge a weighty extra premium to all policy hol ders travelling in (especially Asiatic) Turkish territory. No language of mine can describe the misery they occa sion, or the duration aced painfulness of the wounds they inflict; let those who doubt this statement make a week's experiment, and I'll forgive their previous unbelief. By dawn we were again on horseback, and commenced preparations for the reconnaissance. The best point for this being the summit of a small mountain close upon the river, we wound round it, and after nearly an hour's scrambling reached an elevation whee e e plateau, about could he had of the _ The n ,..,.0;V .5 " 1 .‘.e c\ :.e'fe . • son the t s h m e ali Georgian side of the Ela--_____„,resenting altogether but a poor ap pearance when compared with the imposing array at present collected at Kars. The entire Russian force in camp at this spot and in Giunri is supposed to be about 25,000 men, an army which could be numerically beaten at an hours' notice from this alone without draw ing a man from the outposts or advanced camps. Why it and the supplemental rabble of disaffected irregulars, which may double its number, have not been driven hack over the Caucasus at least two months ago, it puzzles every one but the Mushir to understand. After a lengthened observation of the points above mentioned, and of those at which a passage across the river—which is narrow but deep—would be practicable for a large body of troops, we descended the mountain, and began our return to Kars, which we reached only as the sun was sinking behind the north-western hills. Speaking for myself, I can confidently vouch that a two-days' fast —for having unwisely declined the bread at Subitan, I• saw no more till we returned—to say nothing of a night upon an open field—is a spareness of diet not to be re commended, especially in conjunction with an interim ride of more than sixty miles. To these brief notes of amateur soldiering, I have only to add, as symptomatic intelligence, that since the date of my last letter, between three and four thousand (Arab) Bashi Bazouks have arrived, and will be sent on to the frontier immediately ; that one regiment of in fantry (the tith Anatolian) marched for the same point this morning ; and that General Guyoa leaves to morrow for another reconnaissance, and to mark out some field works at the outposts--movements which, with other local signs, render me confident in predicting early "fun." Before the present moon is out I hope to date from Georgia. _../ ,-- THE NEW SUPERINTENDENT. Commodore Henry Eden, who has succeeded Rear- Admiral Stopford as superintendent of Devonport Dock yard, has hoisted a red pendant as first-class commodore, and has entered upon his new duties. Since Captain Eden was flag captain to Sir Graham Moore at Devon port, he has served for a short time as captain of the Colliogwood, 80 ; then as private secretary to Lord Auckland ; and lastly, for five years as superintendent at Woolwich Dockyard. DEATH OF COMMANDER SOMERVILLE. Retired Commander George F. Somerville (1816) died at Stoke, on the 31st ult., aged 68. Deceased was for many years actuary of the Royal Naval Annuitant So ciety, and an alderman and, magistrate of the borough. THE GUN-BOATS. Rear-Admiral Berkeley, C. 8., and the Surveyor of the Navy, Captain Sir Baldwin Walker, K.C.8., visited Woolwich Dockyard yesterday, and inspected the de spatch gun-boats and other vessels fitting at that port. The despatch gun-boats will be off to the Baltic in a day or two. THE BALTIC FRENCH FLEET. His French Majesty's steam-sloop La Place arrived and anchored in the Downs yesterday morning. She is from Cherbourg, for the Baltic, and awaits orders prior to starting to join the squadron, under Admiral DescheneA. His French Majesty's corvette Licorne arrived in the Downs yesterday worning, from the Baltic, and an chored. She proceeded at ten a.m. for Cherbourg. Wind, westerly ; moderate and fine weather. At one p.m. yesterday, a French line-of-battle ship, name unknown, arrived in the Downs from the west ward. THE TURKISH STEAM-FRIGATE. The Turkish steam-frigate Paid Gehaid left Ports mouth Harbour at four p.m. yesterday, for Southampton, to be docked. A correspondent says—" It is much to be regretted she was not docked in the yard. There would have been no difficulty in accomplishing this by making the fitting basin a dock for the time being, and leaving the gates of the angle dock open. We regret to see old-womanlike' difficulties thrown in the way ; nor is it calculated to make the best im pression on our gallant friends the Turks, to be handed about from Southampton to Portsmouth and back again. MILITARY. The head-quarters and four companies of the 35th Regiment of Foot paraded at half-past eight o'clock on Monday morning at Brompton-barracks in heavy marching order, and marched from Brompton to Chatham-barracks, where they were inspected on the guard-mounting parade by Major-General Marcus Hill, commandant of the garrison. The head-quarters, with the band and four companies of this corps, as sembled again on Tuesday morning, August 1, and marched from Brompton-barracks under the command of Major Edward H. Hutchinson, to the Strood station of the North-Rent Railway for conveyance to Gravesend, where they embarked for foreign service in the East Indies. The troops in Chatham turned out and cheered them, and they were also cheered as they passed through the towns of Rochester, Chatham, and Strood. The Huguenot, freight -ship, has arrived with the re mainder of the 94th Regiment on board from the East Indies. Eleven deaths occurred on board during the passage to England. The division landed at Gravesend yesterday (Wednesday), and proceeded by the North- Kent Railway to Strood, and marched thence to Bromp ton-barracks to join the head-quarters of the 94th, sta tioned there. Thirty-two young men of the Royal Sappers and Miners left Woolwich on Monday, and proceeded by the North-Kent Railway for Chatham, for the purpose of being instructed in sapping, raising field-works, and other duties taught at the establishment at Chatham. The local pensioners of the Medway district completed their field drill on Tuesday, August 1 Colonel R. R. Ord, Royal Engineers, commanding the Royal Engineers in the Medway district, will embark for Montreal on the Ist or 2d of September next, to take the command of the Royal Engineers in Canada.

SANITARY MATTERS. At a Court held on Tuesday a long discussion took place upon a petition from persona who are in the habit of removing blood and offal from slaughterhouses for the use of the sugar refiners, objecting to an order made at the last Court to the effect that such should only he re moved at night. The beadle of Newgate-market was herd on the subject of the inconvenience and annoyance caused by the strict enforcement of the order ; and other evidence was taken, all of which tended to show that all parties were desirous of remedying the nuisance caused by the matter in question being left on the pre mises for a length of time. An order was ultimately issued, requiring that the offensive stuff complained of should be removed twice in every 24 hours. It was stated that Mr. Daw, the clerk of the court, had been in communication with the -various unions of the city on 'natters!! connected with the medical departments, and that everything connected with sa nitary affairs was referred to the Medical Officer of Health. CHOLERA IN THE CITY. In the report of the Medical Officer of Health ap peared the following paragraph : _ _ " I very deeply regret to inform your hon. Court that the tabular statement of the city mortality includes six cases in which Asiatic cholera has occasioned death within your jurisdiction; and, from such information as is before me, I have every reason to fear that an epidemic visita tion of that disease has already commenced in the metro polis. Should this apprehension be just, the time will n 9 w have arrived when little further can b e hoped from th ose preventive sanitary measures which it lies in your province to enforce ; the time when whatever resistancecan be offered to the disease lies rather in prevent ive medical treatment, especially in well-organised arrange ments for the discovery and control of premonitory ( liarrhsca. It lies within your province to organise these arr angements, and I advert to the subject chiefly that I ma y point out the line of separation betwee n suc h d uties an d your own. Your special share of battle against the disease has belonged to the last five years and particularly to the last few months. It now devolves on others to take their part in the struggle. Ido not, however, propose that your defensive measures should in any degree be relaxed. I would, on the contrary, urge that they be carried on at least as actively as heretofore, and in one ma tt er especially I think the present season invites a new activity. I refer to the sale of unsound and unwholesome fruit which is now tending to prevail to a considerable extent. With the sale of all unsound and unwholesome provisions you are authorised toluterfere by confiscation and penalty, under section 52 of the City Sowers Act, ISSI ; and this power of yours has been very usefully exercised by your inspectors inspectors of slaught er -h ouses and meat in relation' to animal food. I would recommend th a t you au th or i se mo to give instructions to tho se o ffi cers to use great vigilance with respect to the sale of fruit and vegetables, and to seize all such as they shall judge unfit for consumption." In the list of the mortality of the city of London ter minating Saturday, July 29, appear the following " Cholera, G ; infantile diarrhoea, 5 ; infantile dysentery, 1." The addresses of the cholera deaths are as follow: " 9, Primrose-street, Bishops ;ate, M., 68; 27, Monkwell street, M. 55 ; 6, Peter's-hill, M., 51 ; 17, T ower - ro yal, M.; 18, Beer-lane, M., 62 ; 4, Love-lane, E..stcheap, 31., 19." Addenda to the report : "In the vicinity of Harp-alley complaint is made of a disgusting stench occasioned by the preparation of cats' meatin a house partly occupied by parochial schools. Regard being made to the sanitary state of the locality, I beg to recommend that the nuisance bo forthwith stopped; and, in ordor to this, that the inspector of the district be directed to visit the place daily, and, on every occasion of may putrid stink being effused in the process of cooking G' -- ---e-z---e_ 7 ‘ - 2 cats' meat, to summon the proprietor of this establishment before a magistrate to enforce whatever penalties may have been incurred under the 113th section of Tour act of 1348. " In connection with one of the deaths above adverted to (namely, that on Peter's-hill), complaint was made of the long detention of the corpse in a house densely inhabited. I regret that I cou ld g i ve no assistance to the complainants in this case, b u t, s h ould the cholera mortality of the city increase to any considerable extent, I would wish for the authority of your hon. Court to make application to the board of guardians to give assistance under any similar cir cumstances which may arise." The proprietors of 80 houses in Hntchinson-street and other streets in the city were heard in relation to notices served upon them to do sanitary works, and orders were passed that the works should be done forthwith to the satisfaction of the officers of the Court. Several houses in Petticoat-lane, the property of country magistrates and other gentlemen, were placed upon the same list, and subjected to the same immediate sanitary process. An important report of the committee was agreed to, in reference to a project for carrying out an extensive public improvement, in Aldermanbury and Gresham street, viz. —th a t, on th e re b u ildi ng o f certain premises belonging to Messrs. Chaplain and Horne, the incon venient and unsightly angle at the south end of Alder manbury should be removed. GREAT CRY-LITTLE WOOL ! THE RICKETTY SESSION. The last day of the session is now rapidly approaching, and the Ministers are about to eat their Greenwich dinner. Let ua inquire what they have done to deserve it. They began the session by a statement that they had done their utmost to preserve peace, and had augmented the naval and rifilitary forces to effect this object ; at its close the country is at war, which they have shown :L ttitan unavoidable. adequate themselves alik e i ncapable of preventing, or of conduct inge n n whene w a s it u becamey theo I ln January demands theef h the ve g e since lar 1y January increased we e have of credit,public vi nseewr taxes,ce; xpendhiadturev,tewith the loss of the Tiger, with the deaths of Captains Giffard and Parker, to show for our money. Ministers had an excellent cause. Justice and popular feeling were on their side, but by t amper i ng with despotism, waiting for the support of Austria, and seeking for the approval of Prussi a , th ey have cooled the public enthusiasm and almost begotten distrust in the cause they have mis managed. At the end of the session, looking more at our own hopes and exertions than at the unexpected successes of the Turks, the position of the country is far less advantageous than at its commencement. If Ministers had neglected the war to promote the arts of peace, or if they had treated these as unimportant while they had vigorously prosecuted the war, we should have found an apology for their failure in their consis tency. But they have attempted to do both, and have accomplished neither. The nation and its representa tives, surpassing the Ministers in zeal to prosecute the war, have cheerfully voted all necessary supplies, and without a murmur have submitted to the extension of an unainended and odious system of taxation. Minis: ters cannot complain of money being begrudged to carry on the war, but the people complain that their generous contributions have been frittered worthlessly away. Neither by successful war, nor by useful legislation, have they been gratified ; and at the end of six months' labour, under the guidance of the Ministers, the Parliament se parates damaged, like them, in the public estimation. In January the nation was promised further reforms in the criminal and ecclesiastical law : nothing has been done. The Royal Speech an nounced a measure to improve the Poor-law : such a measure was brought in, but it was burked by the Ministers themselves, who almost broke up their administration by their unseemly treatment of a subordinate, and their disunion about removing pau pers. For more than four months they have directed the deliberations of Parliament to their promised mea sure to check bribery and corruption. It has at length reached its final stage, but so mangled and mutilated, that their supporters know not what it means, and decry it as giving a license to the very evil it was proposed to eradicate. A plan was promised for the improvement of the Civil Service. This is much needed, though we differ from the Ministers as to what should be done. But Ministers have done nothing. The Civil Service remains unreformed, though not unstigmatised in the Royal Speech. More than the reform of the Civil Service, which was the measure of the Ministers, the people had at heart the abolition or amendment of antiquated oaths, which withhold from them the services of men they elect. Over and over again have the Ministers pledged themselves to remove this insulting and galling fetter. They feebly tried, and were defeated. The honest but small remnant of bigotry which still lingers in the House of Commons was too strong for their half-heartedness, and the Whig hero of reform continues in office, though he was defeated a n d h um il iated by Sir Frederick Thesiger. Pledges unfulfilled, promises broken, hones deceived, are the characteristics of the session and the Ministers. Often defeated, they practically proved before its close, though they could not unite their heterogeneous oppo nents, they could disunite their friends. Powerful at its commencement, they are without efficient support at its close. They are defeated night after night, and have only to thank the damaged character of Lord Derby and Mr. Disraeli for being suffered to continue in office. Though the war was a sufficient excuse for stopping Parliameutecy d;,l -- `"ih• 'O. some winger in allowing ne cessary measure to stand over till Parliament was re formed, and a vigorous ministry in office. Whenever public opinion is fully and fairly heard, the worn-out university system will not be very tenderly dealt with. It was convenient, therefore, to promote the reform while one of their representatives was in office ; and while the idle doctors of Cambridge and Oxford count in the national representation fur as much as the indus trious electors of Birmingham and Liverpool, or of Finsbury and Marylebone. The time that might have been given to Parliamentary Reform or to urging on the war has been appropriated to effecting a peddling change in the universities, in order to protect them in the possession of their immuniti e s, and to shi e ld their costly inefficiency. The great measure of the session is University Reform, which, like too many other half-and half and chain measures of our day, is rather intended to cheat than td realise the just hopes and desires of the people. One of the earliest measures of the session intro duced in the very first week was the bill to simplify and improve the public accounts. This practical measure has long been demanded by liberal reformers as neces sary to clear up mystery, to enable the public to understand the public accounts, and become acquainted with the actual cost of the Government. Mr. Gladstone and his friends took great praise to themselves for intro ducing it, and made out of it a great heap of political capital. A few items were to be transferred, it was said, to the Consolidated Fund, but a much larger amount of expenditure, all the charges for collecting the revenue, were, for the first time, to be brought under the supervision of the House of Commons, and annually voted. Estimates of the charges were prepared and laid before Parliament. The measure was cordially hailed by the liberals, and was even applauded by Mr. Disraeli. What has become of it Till the end of June it was allowed to lie unheeded on the table of the Commons, and was sent up to the Lords about the middle ofJuly, early enough to allow them to subject it to a fierce examina tion, and too late for the popular power to exert itself should the Lords mishandle the bill. To subject any permanent appropriations to annual revision was sure to excite the displeasure of all the apprehensive pensioners in Parliament, and Mr. Gladstone bad not so carefully drawn the bill as to secure it against all feasible objec tions. It interfered with one or two permanent officers who bear the character of judges. It even brought the salary of the Liou King of Anns—Great Herald of the Empire —under revision, and there was sufficient reason to make an interested oppo s iti on pl aus ibl e . The bill, though wholly referring to rev enue , an d w h o lly a money bill, was sent to a Select C omm itt ee o f th e Lords, and has been so long delayed that it is doubtful whether we may this year get even an instalment of this much-needed reform. Almost every reign commences in exultation and ends in despair. Many a young monarch mounts his throne amidst the applau - ses of hi; people, and ere he quits it hides himself in the recesses of his pala ce f rom their hatred and their curses. So it is with Parliaments. Year after year they assemble amidst the hopes and the acclama tions of the people only to dwindle away at the close of the session amidst their jeers or their hisses. From au untried King the vulgar may excusably expect unknown benefits ; from a Parliament that has been tried year after year, and year after year has disappointed the hopes of the people, it is inexcusable to expect good. Somewhat, therefore, the people are always to blame for renewing each January the hopes that have been disappointed in the previous August. Such has been fur some years the annual course, and there is no reason why 1854 should differ from its predecessors. But the Coalition Ministry —proud of their concentrated abilities, promised largely and encouraged great expec tations, while they have effected next to nothing. Nei ther successful in war nor in the arts of peace, they are an example of failure which excites astonishment even where failure is habitual. Many bills have indeed been brought in, and an almost equal number of points have been unsettled. The mercantile marine has been legis lated about, but rot satisfactorily, and a Secretary of War has been established and his salary provided ; but, except one measure, all useful reform has been stifled or withheld.
