WEDNESDAY, JUNE 28, 1854. anything more sinister or more ominous could scarcely have been announced, in regard to the war, than the fact of the Austrian occupation of the Principalities. The meaning of this move ment i s perfectly obvious, It signifies nothing less than this—that Austria (unable, from then delicacy of her position, t 6 pr o nounce openly in favour of Russia and against T ur k ey) is determined at least _to shelter the CZAR as much as Possible fromfurther disaster by interposin g b etween the victorious forces of the SULTAN and the retreatinet the Muscovites. Nev e r and defeated army of was: any movement on the part of a nominal ally — a power hithert o virtually neutral, but hencefo r th secretly, hostile—more irritatingly inopportune, . Precisely at the j unc t ure when the Turks, i__ th e small un aided by- any one, e xce pti ng only by worsted the Egyptian contingent, have effectually mighty legions of their ant agon ists —precisely at the very crisis when the Ottoman forces under OMER PACHA have, by their own valour, extri cated themselves from a desperate strait, and so contested every point with the Russians, that the latter are compelled to beat a hasty retreat frOrn the Danube to the Pruth—precisely at this momentous period, the Cabinet of Vienna under takes to aid the, Sublime Porte, by causing the Austrian troop s to occupy the reconquered Princi palities ! It is exactly what Dr. JOIINSJN said to Lord CHESTERFIELD. It is complacently watching from the bank some unfortunate adventurer while he is within an ace of being drowned in the current, and when at last he has by his own muscular ''efforts and cool determination contrived to struggle out of his difficulties to dry land —• then " encumbering him with help !" A little earlier, the Austrian troops might have done good ser vice by pouring across the frontiers into Moldo- Wallachia. Now, they can only be in the way. Under present circumstances, they can only im pede the triumphant progress made duri s n o g ldir t e he s past months of the campaign by the of the SULTAN. This movement, consequently, into the provinces evacuated by the discomfited Russians must be viewed, to say the least of it, as at any rate most suspicious. Hitherto the results of the campaign of 1854 have been altogether and wonderfully in favour of the Turks, and at the same time of course disas trous, very terribly disastrous, to the army of the Northern AUTOCRAT. It is calculated that the Russian forces since the commencement of the war have lost in round numbers no less than 50,000 men altogether I General SCRILDERS has been placed hors de combat. General LUDERS has been killed by a desperate gun-shot. Prince PASKIE wiTcyr has been so severely wounded that he can by no possibility retain his position as Com mander-in-Chief. The Russians were driven back from before Kalafat—they were beaten at Citate--they were compelled at last to retreat from Lesser Wallachia, in the direction of the Dobrudscha. At the outset, they had already been signally defeated at Oltenitza. Very re cently, they have been yet more signally defeated under the walls of Silistria. Insomuch have the Turks proved their superiors, even when aided by none but the Egyptians, that the siege of Silistria is reluctantly raised by the Muscovites, and a re trograde movement on their part carries them back precipitately to the violated boundary of their own province of Bessarabia. At this moment—the Austrian troops undertake to occupy the Princi palities ! At this moment—when the armies of France and England are at length in full march. towards the Turkish head-quarters to join the victorious troops of OMmt PACHA, and decide the struggle with the discomfited forces of the CzAn—the Imperial Council of Vienna undertake to interpose, with the Austrian armament, between defeated Russians and their triumphant and materially strengthened antagonists ! Every thing tends to convince our judgment that we are right in designating this curiously inop portune movement on the part of Austria—omi mous, and sinister, and suspicious. So ominous, so sinister, and so suspicious, do we conceive it Ito be, that we are satisfied it behoves the people iof England to be at this particular moment more - than ever watchful in regard to the foreign policy of the Government. A Bottle of Smoke—is about the best phrase by which to describe Mr. LAYARD'S pompously announced and timidly withdrawn motion for to morrow evening .in reference to Lord ABERDEEN and the foreign policy of her MAJESTY'S Govern ment. For in it that redoubtable motion has ter minated. By his new concession to the Cabinet the Hon. Member for Aylesbury has dissipated, at any rate for the time being, whatever hopes :might have been formed in his regard as to the rise and rapid development of his political repu tation. It is a mistake, into which he has more than once fallen already. It evinces, we cannot but think, very little judgment, to say the least of fit. Nothing, in effect, could well be more ludicrous on the part of an independent Member like the Re presentative of the Aylesb ury cons ti t uency than these precipitate motions, threatened in a manner the most portentous, and hastily withdrawn just upon the eve of their promised introduction. Mr. LAYARD has called " Wolf" so often, that nobody will believe him in earnest when he raises the cry again, and formally undertakes to drag before the notice of Parliament the shortcomings of the Administration. " Mr. MANTALINI poisons him- i self for the seventh time," is not one jot more ridiculous than the notification will ultimately be come that " Mr. LAYARD threatens another hostile motion upon the foreign policy of her MAJESTY'S Government." It matters nothing that the Earl of ABERDEEN, on Monday, favoured the House of Peers with what the Noble Premier was pleased to term his " explanation," but what the Marquis of CLANRICARDE some what more aptly and more correctly termed his "retractation." The speech delivered by the Prime Minister on Monday, the 26th of June, 1854, was to all intents and purposes pretty much the same as that delivered by him on that day se'nnight—namely, on Monday, the 19th of June, 1854. And, as Lord CLANRICARDE happily re marked in the House of Peers the night before last, a telegraphic despatch in a Continental journal entitled L'independence Belge sententiously and most happily epitomised the English Pre mier's oration of the 19th instant thus—" Lord ABERDEEN a essays de justifier la conduite de la Russie et plaide la cause de la paix." It was precisely thus in regard to the second speech re cently delivered by the Prlme Minister, the speech of the 26th instant, called for the nonce the speech of Explanation. Like its predecessor, that remark able oration "roared like any sucking dove." it was the realisation at last of that expression which we might least have expected ever to see realised, the expression in Festus about " buttered thunder." Lord ABERDEEN undertook, on Mon day evening, to thunder against his "forty years' *lend" the Czaß—but when the thunder came it , was, after all, " buttered thunder." And for •this—Mr. LAYARD has withdrawn his motion . promised for Thursday. Because my Lord ABERDEEN quibbled, and explained away, and eat .his words, and chewed the leek, and in the midst ,of all this, talked as a Prime Minister of England :never should have talked about the conditions of peace being dependent upon the event of war ." according as we found _Russia at Constanti -nople or ourselves at St. Petersburg" —as if England alone, much more England, and France, and Turkey all united could consent to a peace arranged with Byzantium in the hands of the Muscovites !—because, forsooth, my Lord ABER DEEN, in explanation of his remarks on Monday, , the 19th of June, could speak on Monday, the 26th of June, after this deplorable fashion—Mr. :LAYARD has deemed it advisable to withdraw his - motion announced for to-morrow evening, the motion to which precedence was at once cour teously promised by the Noble Lord the Leader of the House of Commons ! It is deeply to be regretted, for the satisfaction of the public mind, for the dignity of the Crown, for the credit of the Cabinet, and for the Hon. Gentleman's own reputation. Again, the mountain has groaned, and according to the usual anti-climax brought forth the ridiculus mus 1 Again has the threatened on slaught upon the Ministry by the Member for Aylesbury proved betimes to be only mere "sound and fury, signifying nothing." The country will not, we rest assured, be any the less disposed to reprehend the ill-considered precipitation with which Mr. LAYARD has, once more, given pro mise of a substantial motion, only to withdraw it immediately afterwards—the country, we say, will not be any the less disposed to reprehend this—to call it by no worse epithet, at any rate— most inconsiderate proceeding, because, in so doing, the Representative of Aylesbury gave the House another half assurance, last evening, of his - intention, "if nobody else will do so, " of bringing forward on some night or other, before " the recess," some discussion on our fo reign relations : this, however (as Mr. LAYARD is especially eager to inform the House and the People), " with no hostile feeling towards the Government." So the matter has ended—for the time bein g , my Lord ABERDEEN no doubt hug ging himself on having cajoled the most noisy of opponents--th e only positive result of the wh o l e disturbance bei ng the printed copies pl ace d within reach of the Public, th e Press and the Parliament, of an o ld , , and, for present purposes, an utterly valueless despat c h, penne d a notorious do cument, dated the by Viscount GORDON, alias the E ar l o f ABERDEEN, in 14th of September, to 1829, and infamous in Euro pean history as the Treaty of Adrianople. " 0 most lame and impotent conclusion !" ELECTION FOR BRIDGEMASTER.—The third day's poll for Bridgemaster oßened yesterday morning, at the Guildhall, at 9 and closed at 3 o'clock, when the num bers were declared : Ledger, 350 ; Jardine, 19G ; James, 151 ; Booth, 25. Mr. Secondary Potter an nounced that the poll would re-open at ‘i) o'clock this (Wednesday) morning. WITHDRAWAL OF MR. LA YARD'S MOTION'.-LORD ABERDEEN. Mr. Layard has formally withdrawn his motion. This gentleman is very unfortunate in his movements. He is acting in a very unwarrantable manner towards the country. He is trifling with public feeling, and sporting with the character of the House of Commons. He is, moreover, sacrificing as fast as he can his own re putation. He gives notices of important motions only to withdraw them. This is a game which he will not be able to play for any length of time with impunity. In the meantime, though Lord Aberdeen, so far as the member for Aylesbury is concerned, is allowed to escape, the noble lord will find that he has an account to settle with the country. It is impossible he can remain in office.—Morning A dvertiscr. THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, JUNE 28, 188 4. ANTI-ABERDEEN DEMONSTRATION. What has come of the meeting to which we referred the other day, as about to take place, for the purpose of calling on the Queen to remove Lord Aberdeen from her councils ? We are aware that a pressure was brought to bear on its promoters, from Downing-street on Satur day last. They were asked to abstain from any further movement in the matter, until they heard the Premier's "explanations" on the subject. And in a spirit of obedi ence, which, in other circumstances, might have been worthy of all commendation, they did as they were bid. Well, those "explanations" have been given. Are the promoters of the Anti-Aberdeen civic demonstration satisfied with them ? If so, their minds must be very differently constituted from those of the rest of their countrymen. The speech of the Premier is confessed on all hands to have been a decided failure. So far from bettering the noble lord's position, it has had the contrary effect. He is in a much worse position now than before he made his speech of Monday. And yet we could learn nothing yesterday of any further step being taken in the City towards the contemplated demonstration. Mr. Hall, who has been one of the most prominent movers in the matter, owes some explanations to his fellow citizens, if it be true that the idea has been abandoned. In that case, a very great injury would have been done to the cause of freedom and national honour. Had the promoters of the demonstration been in the employ of Russia they could not have rendered the Czar a more essential service than to have set a requisition on foot fcr an anti-Aberdeen demonstration, and then to have abandoned it. Such a course is calculated to give the Premier a firmer hold than ever of that office which he is so unfitted to fill. It must strengthen, too, the posi tion of the pro-Russian and weaken that of the anti- Russian party in the Cabinet.—Morning Advertiser. ENGLISH GLEE AND MADRIGAL UNION. The third concert of the first series of these performances took place on Monday last, at Willis' Rooms, and was well attended. The chief performers were Mrs. Lockey, Mrs. Endersobn, Mr. Lockey, Mr. Hobbs, and Mr. Phillips, assisted by a chorus of sixteen, to give a full effect to the madrigals. A passage from The Tempest, arranged by Stevens, " The Cloud capt Towers," received an unani mous encore. A similar compliment was paid to the well known air of " Under the Greenwood Tree," which was charmingly , sung by Mrs. Lockey, Mr. Lockey, Mr. Hobbs, and Mr. Phillips. The last concert of this series takes place next Monday. It is to be hoped that the success of the present endeavour will induce the directors to com mence a second series. "CAULD SAIL IN ABERDEEN." ( From Punch.) " There's cauld kail in Aberdeen," When blood runs quick in all besides ; The dilettante Scot serene Shows his blank face, whate'er betides. When Russian treason's dragged to bar, Despite each diplomatic screen,— When England brands the lyin g Czar— " There's mild kail in Aberdeen." "There's cauld kail in Aberdeen," When marching squadrons shake the street ; Nor drum, nor fife, nor bayonet's sheen, Can move his pulse's even beat ; When our great navies, bound for war, With iron mouths salute the Queen, And England thrills from shore to shore— . " There's cauld kail in Aberdeen." "There's cauld kail in Aberdeen," When news of gallant deeds is brought ; Of Oltenitza's blood-stained green, Citate's fight so stoutly fought; When from Silistria's leaguered hold, The Russian turns with hang dog mien, And England bids " God speed the bold !" " There's cauld kail in Aberdeen." " There's cauld kail in Aberdeen," Though universal England weeps, When after anguish, short but keen, In Russian grave poor Giffard sleeps. What is the Tiger's loss to him ? 'Tie but one frigate less, I wean— So while our eyes with tears are dim, " There's cauld kail in Aberdeen." " There's ()mild kail in Aberdeen," When Lyndhurst, with his load of years, The same stout heart he still hath been, Speaks out bold truths among his peers ; What though Russ lies to Europe's eyes He bare and brand, with lope clean, A joke —a sneer—will save replies— " And cauld hail in Aberdeen." Still " cauld kail in Aberdeen," At lies and truth—at loss and gain— But what are we—thus meek and mean, To brook command of such a brain ? Up—England —up ! and with a shout To startle e'en that Stoic spleen— In honest Saxon thunder out, Down with " cauld kail" and Aberdeen CABINET COUNCIL.— A Cabinet Council was held at the Foreign-office, Downing-street, yesterday afternoon. It was attended by the Earl of Aberdeen, Lord John Russell, the Marquis of Lansdowne, the Lord Chancel lor, Viscount Palmerston, the Earl of Clarendon, Sir George Grey, the Duke of Newcastle, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Sir James Graham, Sir Charles Wood, the Right Hon. Sidney Herbert, Sir William Melee worth, and Earl Granville. The Council sat two hours. ANNIVERSARY OF HER MAJESTY'S CORONATION.— INSPECTION OF THE HOUSEHOLD Tuoors.--To-day being the anniversary of her Majesty's coronation, the House hold Troops were inspected on the parade in St. James's park ; and, although somewhat thinned in number by the absence of their loyal comrades who yesterday left the ranks as volunteers for service in the East, presented a martial and formidable appearance, with a bold front which would rather intimidate an enemy. The various evolutions were gone through, and the Palace guard was accompanied by several hundred persons to the court yard at St. James's Palace, where the colours were dis played, the band playing the National Anthem. The bells of the different metropolitan churches ushered in the day with merry peals, the vessels on the river were gaily decorated, and the Royal standard was hoisted on all the Government offices and the churches of the Royal parishes. CELEBRATION OF HER MAJESTY'S CORONATION BY THE HONOURABLE ARTILLERY COMPANY.—This day, being the anniversary of her Majesty's coronation, was observed with all due honours by the Honourable Ar tillery corps, of which the Prince Consort is colonel. The corps marched about ten o'clock on the Artillery ground, Finsbury. His Royal Highness was not pre sent on the occasion, but the parade was graced by a great number of ladies of rank and fashion. The corps having been paraded went through the various and interesting evolutions of a field day, and fired a double royal salute. The band of the corps played some brilliant pieces from the most eminent composers. The Museum, which is unique, was thrown open to th visitors, , 17ID ,_ IC Ye E ste O r F TdayllE Mr.EOR DllvTrn.

From the evidence, it appeared that deceased had been low in spirits for some time, but no thing serious was apprehended by his friends. On Mon day night, about six o'clock, Mr. Raphael Abendona, an intimate friend, called to see him. The wife went to inform deceased, and, as she was going to his room, a report of a pistol was heard, and on entering the count ing-house it was found that the un f or t una t e d eceased ha fired the pistol, and the slugs had entered his side. He was put to bed, and Dr. Caeshall was sent for, but he died in less than three hours. The only cause that in duced the unfortunate man to commit suicide, it was supposed, was, that he fancied himself in embarrassed circumstances. The jury returned a verdict of "Tempo rary insanity." HOSPITAL FOR CONSI73fPTION, BROMPTON.—Yesterday, by permission of her Majesty's commissioners, a bazaar for the sale of ladies' fancy work, &c., took place in the beautiful grounds of Gore House, Kensington, and of Grove House, adjoining, in aid of the funds of this insti tution. Notwithstanding the indication of unfavourable weather the afternoon was bright and fine, and the at tendance very numerous, consisting of a considerable portion of the rank and fashion of the metropolis. The bands of the Royal Horse Guards and 2d Life Guards were in attendance, and enlivened the scene by their ad mirable performance of several popular airs and over tures. The numerous and gaily-decorated stalls were presided over by the Duchess of Sutherland, Marchioness of Aylesbury, Ladies Combermere, Jersey, Southampton, and several other members of the aristocracy. The stalls were placed beneath a series of marquees, which, like the awnings, &c., at the entrance, were surmounted with elegant flags and banners, the principal of which was a splendid pavilion tent, 90 feet in diameter. The object of this Fancy Bazaar was to raise funds for the opening of the new wing ; and, from the large receipts and contributions of the day, it is inferred that should to-day prove equally fine, the funds of the hospital will be most considerably augmented. PRIDE or GOLD. —The quotation of gold at Paris is about 4 per mille discount (according to the last tariff), which at the English Mint price of 31. 17s. 10Id. per oz. for standard gold, gives an exchange of 25.07 ; and, the exchange at Paris on London at short being 25.00, it follows that gold is about 0.28 per cent. dearer in Paris than in London. By advises from Hamburg the price of gold is 422 k per mark, which at the English Mint price of 3/. 17s. 101 d. per oz for standard gold, gives an exchange of 13.31 ; and, the exchange at Hamburg on London at short being 13.27, it follows that gold is 0.42 per cent. dearer in Hamburg than in London. The course of exchange at New York on London for bills at 60 day s ' s i g ht i s 109# per cent., and, the par of exchange between England and America being 109 23.40 per cent., it follows that the exchange is nominally 0.17 per cent. in favour of England; and, after making allowance for charges of transport and difference of interest, the present rate leaves a small profit on the importation of gold from the Un 4i t E states MONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. CITY, TWO o'CLOCK. The sales of cotton at Liverpool yesterday were estimated at 8,000 hales, including 1,500 American, and 500 Surat, taken for export. The market closed firmly but tame, compared with Friday's rates ; prices of all ki n d s were extreme, more especially in 41d. to 51d. American, and 31d. to 4-id. Surat. The sales comprised 6,000 American ; 100 Pernam and Maranham at 68d. to 6?d. ; 200 Bahia, at 6p. ; 200 Egyptian, at 54d. to 71d. ; 1,500 Surat, at 3d. to 4d, and 100 Sea Islands at lOid. to Is. 6d. per lb. Railway Shares were firm. The failure of Messrs. Cole, Brothers, in the East India trade, is announced, and it appears th at t h e immediate cause of their stoppage is the suspension of Messrs. Davidson and Gordon. The Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty require tenders for a ship t o convey 3 50 tons of stores and provisions, to be put on board Sir Charles Napier's fleet, in the Gulf of Finland. The rates for foreign bills of exchange were yes terday afternoon rather higher upon all the principal Continental cities. P ar i s , 90 d ays, Amsterdam, 11 17 to 171 ; a burg, a m nd hl3s/ to ; Frankfort, 25 Trieste was at a decline of 13 3 t o 13 9. 12518 25 t to 3 1 0 1 H ; Silver dollars have been sold as high as ss. 3d. per oz. The subscriptions proffered for the small amount of the Belgian loan offered to the p u bli c appear absolutely ridiculous in proportion to the amount to be allotted. It will be remembered that five millions of francs are set abide for the public, while the letters ask an aggregate of more than 272 mil lion francs. The railway from Antwerp to Rotter dam has been opened with great ceremony, an d will have an immediate influence in drawing closer the relations between Holland and Belgium. The advices by the Overland Mail are of a more satisfactory character in many respects. From Calcutta it is stated that plentiful rains had fallen in the indigo districts, and that the prospects of the crop were encouraging. Money was exceedingly easy, and in this respect presented quite a contrast to the state of affairs at Bombay. For piece goods the demand was healthy, and for immediate wants. The rate of exchange on Lon don was lower, bsing 2s. id., and for document bilk 2s. Id. at 6 months. Freights were 10s. lower. In China trade continues very depressed, and it is stated the Custom-house at Shanghai had been wholly done away with ; consequently no duties either of import or export were received. The troubles in the tea districts continued. There is an expectation that money will become easier in consequence of the recent large arrivals of specie and the alterecrposition of the Bank of Eng land. According to rumour, the increase in the amount of bullion held by that establishment will appear by the weekly return in next Friday's Gazette to be more than 700,0001. There is a very firm market for public securities, but the business done has not been so large. The supply of stock is scarcely so large as it was. Consols have been 94 to 941, and are now 94 to k. There continues to be a strong feeling against the occu pation of the Principalities by Austria, a measure which is held to be framed to check the Ottoman forces in their victorious career. The New 34 per Cents, have been 94k to if, and the 3 per Cents. 93i to 94k. Bank Stock is at an advance to 206 and 2071. Exchequer Bills are 2s. discount, to 2s. premium. The Bonds of 1858 are quoted if to if premium, and those of 1859, if to if premium. Foreign Securities are still very quiet. Peruvian 3 per Cents, have beau 51 to 511, Equador 3i, and Grenada Deferred 6if. Russian . 5 per Cents. have been 981. All the rest are n ommal. i This is making . tip day n the Railway Share Market, and it would appear that the account is Bullish. At the last settlement there was gene rally a backtvardation, whereas now shares are mostly " carried over" without charge, or a slight rate of interest is given for the accommodation. North-Western have been "even" to if " contango," Midland about " even," and York and North Mid land at 4 " contango" per share. If the Stock Market should acquire strength upon the ground of either an improved monetary or politi cal position, there appears to be considerable room for an advance in railway securities. De cidedly, as they have advanced in many cases within the last fortnight, they are still very much under the prices at which they stand when capital is abundant. A fall of 1 per cent. in the current rates of discount would benefit railways now most sensibly, because several of them pay very good dividends. As the time is coming on when the half-yearly meetings will be held, and an increased interest may be expected upon the shares of several lines, the speculators will probably be moving in an ticipation of any action on the part of the public. The rise this morning in most of the lines is fairly 1 per cent. even upon the advance which occurred " after hours" yesterday. North-Western, Mid land, Lancashire and Yorkshire, Caledonian, and York and North Midland have been in much re quest. French Shares are better. The Gold Mines are dull, the Banks higher in one or two cases, and miscellaneous shares more dealt in, Crystal Palace, however, being lower. BRITISH FUNDS THIS DAY.—CLOSING PRICES.

THE RUSSIAN AND EN6LISH SQUADRONS IN THE PACIFIC. —Rear-Admiral Sir James Stirling, the Naval Commander-in-Chief, left Singapore for China, in his flag-ship the Barracouta, immediately on the arrival of the English mail of March 24, with the view of over taking the Russian squadron in the Japan waters. Her Majesty's ships Sybille, Lily, and Rapid were at Singa pore on the 15th ult. for the protection of the place. CRESIORNE GARDENS.—Tho successful issue of the daring aeronautic experiment of last week attracted im mense numbers to this favourite resort yesterday after noon. Long before the time announced for the ascent every approach to the gardens was thronged by anxious and expecting crowds, while the gardens themselves pre sented an unusually gay appearance from the large con course of well-dressed and fashionable visitors. Shortly before seven o'clock the signal guns were fired, and the majestic machine, with sits scientific appendage, immediately commenced Jits aerial flight. Mons. 1 4 6. tour at least furnishes evidence of being able to guide his parachute in its descent, so as to avoid unpleasant contact with any obstacle that might present itself in its approach to the earth. This is accomplished partly by means of two supplemental valves, which can be opened and shut at the will of the aeronaut, who thus regulates the rapidity of his descent, and, of course, graduates the inclination of his approach to terra firma, whilst by means of two large wings, which he can move like small sails 40 or 50 times in a minute, M. Lkour is also enabled to steer clear of any obstruction that he may find on his nearly reaching the earth. The capa bility of thus directing the 'movements of the parachute has now been fully proved, and the two successful attempts made by M. Ltitour at Cremorno, after two failures, arising from the want of sufficient ascending power in the balloon, at another place of entertain ment, must have been as gratifying to the bold experi mentalist and the spirited proprietor of Cremorne, as it was satisfactory to the large portion of the publie assembled upon both occasions. We understand the descent was made at Wetteuham. LATEST FOREIGN NEWS. THE W.R. TELEGRAPHIC DESPATCHES. The following telegraphic message from Vienna has been received : HERMANNSTADT, Juno 27.—General Sehilder is dead. " The Russians are in full retreat from the Danube to Fokschani. " The day after to-morrow this Government will send a Lieutenant-Colonel to the Anglo-French camp at Varna to arrange about the occupation of the Principalities. " KALARASCH, June 20.—A violent storm de stroyed the pontoon bridge, while 500 Russian artillerymen, with their guns and ammunition, were on it. They were all lost. " BUCHAREST, June 19.—The Russians are car rying off the Wallachian archives." - Another telegraphic despatch from Vienna, of the 27th instant, says : " General Budberg has declared to the Boyards that he knows nothing about the Russians eva cuating Bucharest. " A considerable force is still in Moldavia. " Achmet Pacha has passed through Semlin with urgent despatches for Vienna. 1 ' The Russian answer has not yet arrived a' Vienna." VIENNA, June 26.—The Russians are retreating. Mehemed Pacha, with 20,000 men, is advancing to the relief of Ra ssova . Baron Hess has been appointed Commander-in-Chief of the 3d division of the Austrian army ; General Schlick to the 4th division, in Galicia ; Archduke Albrecht to the 3d corps, in Transylvania. BUCHAREST, June 22. Russian infantry is marching from Kalarash via Slobodsie, Bolitza, Ibralia, and Galatz, since the 20th. General Liprandi's main force is expected here to-morrow. The Russians have evacuated the Wallachian frontier. The Russians have removed their heavy artillery from the Danube islands. The greater part of the gun-boats have seen sent to Hirsova. Prince Gortschakoff has left Kala rash for Bucharest, and General Shruleff for Hir sova. The division of the latter is expected at Galatz. General Gronteiehn was before Silistria. The above is from the local papers. THE AUSTRIAN OCCUPATION OF WALLACHIA. VIENNA, June 2G.—The entrance of Austrian troops into Wallachia is decided. Count Coronini, with a first division, followed by a second, has orders to keep himself in readiness to descend the Danube as far as Giurgevo. M. de Bruck has been ordered to put himself in communication with the Porte, and come to an understanding respect ing the political and military combinations that will ensue from the movement of the Austrian army. Colonel Han sets out for the head quar ters of Omer Pacha, and has orders to communi cate with the commanders of the French and English troops. The Russians are retiring from the neighbour hood of Silistria in a body. Tho retreat is being effected from all points of Wallachia through Fokschany and Birlat. RUSSIAN TROOPS ON THE AUSTRIAN FRONTIER. The Monitettr of yesterday contains the fol lowing : FRON THE FRONTIERS OF GALLICIA, JUNE 19.—1 t can no longer be doubted that Russia is sending consi derable masses of troops towards the Austrian frontiers. There is no town in the Government of Kiew which has not a garrison. Three regiments of Guards, just arrived at Kiew, have received orders to march towards the fron tier of Gallicia. A camp is in course of formation near Dubner. "Accounts from Mielnica, dated June 3, state that the Russian Government has ordered the peasantry to march from the frontier and the interior of the country towards Kaminietz-Podolski, and has organized them into a levy en masse. All holders of property and the nobles are compelled to furnish three Cossacks fully equipped. " A letter from Bottuschan, in Moldavia, dated May 29, states that three regimen t s an d th ree battalions, 3,000 men strong, and a field battery, arrived at that town on the 27th, where they are to remain till further orders. "It is stated from Lemberg, that the small fortress of Cholyn is well provisioned. At Luk, in Volhynia, a oamp is to be formed. " - The localities of Krylone an 4 Zamosk, on the Bug, are filled with troops. In Volhynia particularly, and in Podolia, there is a great movement of troops." RETREAT OF THE RUSSIANS. The accounts from the neighbourhood of Silis tria published by the German journals are neces sarily anterior to the results with which we are already acquainted; but they show that the retreat ing movement of the Russians had been expected for some time, in consequence of the heavy losses which the Czar's forces had sustained. The Wanderer of Vienna of the 23d says : " From Bucharest to the 20th, we learn that not only are the operations before Silistria suspended, but that the Russians continue their retreat from Wallachia. In their own camp, the rumour ran that their present movement was not caused by the note from Vienna, but it had been ordered some time before that note arrived. They seem to ex pect to be attacked near the mouths of the Danube ; they are constructing three new batteries on the right bank of the Sulina, and as many on the left. The troops which were at Ismail, Galatz, and Braila have been ordered to the Crimea, which country is expected to become the theatre of an active war. June 10, 80 pieces of cannon of large calibre arrived at Varna in French transports. It is supposed that they are intended for an attack by land on Sebastopol. A letter from Sophia announces that Col. Dieu arrived there on the 15th to inspect the fortifications." LATE ATTEMPT TO BRIBE THE COM MANDER OF SILISTRIA. The Gazette of Cronstadt (Transylvania) gives the following particulars about the bribe said to have been offered to the first commandant of Silis tria for its surrender :—" When Prince Paskie witsch arrived before Silistria, he sent a flag of truce to Sall. Pacha, commandant of the place, and requested an interview with that Turkish officer. The interview took place in the presence of two attaches, one of the French, the other of the English embassy. The Prince declared to the Pacha that he had orders from the Emperor of Russia to take Silistria at any cost, and that con sequently the best thing that could be done would be to treat at once for the surrender of the place rather than spill unnecessary blood. At the same time the Prince looked hard at the Pacha, and made some equivocal, but almost imperceptible movement with his fingers. Sali Pacha understood, perfectly well, that he would be well paid for the surrender. But nothing of this had escaped the two attaches, who immediately informed Omer Pacha. Before 24 hours had elapsed another Pacha was in command of the place, namely, Mussa Pacha, who declared to Prince Paskie witsch, in a second interview, that if the latter had received orders to take Silistria at any cost, he, Mussa Pacha, had orders to defend it at any cost. Thus the negotiations were broken off." CONSTANTINOPLE. JUNE 15.—Troops continue to arrive and depart, and these events aro the only ones which now break the monotony of inquietude and discomfort which prevails in the capital. At the present moment all other subjects are in abeyance. Of political news there is none, and the actual military movements on the Danube and in Asia are of slight importance compared with the preparations for the great struggle which the Western Powers are about to commence. Prince Napoleon has returned to Constantinople and re-established himself in his old quarters or, the Bosphorus. The third division of the French army, which is under his command, will be re viewed to-morrow, together with the new regiments which are daily arriving from Gallipoli. Our allies are making What haste they can ; but from the want of transports they can effect but little in the way of a speedy conveyance of troops. In this re spect at least we stand above them, and the com plaints of their men are loud when they see our troops moving majestically along in magnificent steamers, while their own are crowded in some narrow frigate, followed by little queer-looking brigs which seem surprised at the speed which they attain in tow of the steam-frigates to which they are attached. The Duke of Cambridge's division, composed of the Fusilier, Grenadier, and Coldstream Guards, left yesterday for Varna, in the steamers Cambria, Andes, Himalaya, Golden Fleece, Trent, Emperor, Hydaspes, and City of London. The Himalaya re turns from Varna to-day, and leaves on Monday direct for England, taking passengers and letters. The Sidon left on Sunday for the Black Sea, towing a vessel loaded with provisions for the fleet. A supply of clean shirts for the officers was, probably, on board ; at least, it is the practice of those gallant persons to send their linen to be washed at the capi tal—a degree of luxury which would have astonished Hood or Jervis. General Bosquet, commanding the 2d division of the French army, has arrived at Adrianople, attended by the officers of his staff and 20 dragoons. He was received by Rustem .Pasha, all the officers of the palace, the members of the Council, and the more important personages of the place, such as the Greek Archbishop, the Chief Rabbi, and their respective clergy. The General was established ill the Cold castle, near the park, the same habitation occupied by the Rus sian General Diebitsch-Zabalkanski, in 1829. This politeness was elicited by the expectation of the arrival of the French troops, and probably a con siderable portion may be sent by that route, in columns of 1,500 or 2,000 at a time ; but the great bulk of the army, it is now decided, will approach the seat of war by the route of Varna and Shumla, much to the loss of the tradesmen of the locality, who had laid in supplies in expectation of a orowded town and hungry guests. The Turkish fleet is not quite quiet at Kavarna. The steamers Feizi Bahri and Mabhiri Surom, which had left for the coast of Circassia, returned on the 7th, after disembarking at Redout Kaleh 600 regular troops. The place was already occupied by 800 regulars and 700 bashi-bazouks. Another steam-frigate had left for Souchum-Kaleh with arms and munitions, and with some hundred sol diers. There is nothing new from the fleet. In cruises along the coast of the Crimea in this sumi2er weather the officers cau see ladies sitting on the beach in front of their villas reading, with the children picking up shells beside them. There are cafés and reading rooms within the reach of a 68- pounder ; and everything seems to go on as if in time of profound peace. The Crimea is the Isle of Wight of the Muscovite Empire, and the fashion able visitors seem determined that the Western Powers shall not deprive them of their season. The country is quite peaceable, the stories of wild unsubdued Tartar tribes being merely fables. ALBANIA. A letter from Janina of the 10th, in the Moni teur, says :—" Fuad.. Effendi arrived here on the 3d. He immediately took the most urgent mea sures for repairing the evils caused by the insur rection. He has endeavoured to make the Mussul mans and Christians understand that it is their in tereit henceforth to live together on friendly terms. He has ordered the release of most of the persons who were arrested during the disturbances on denun ciations more or less founded. Finally, on account of the sufferings of agriculture and commerce, he has seen the impossibility of the country paying the expenses caused by the recent disturbances, and has rendered less stringent the orders previously given for levying the taxes. Fuad Effendi after wards went into Thessaly." MONTENEGRO. The Austrian Lloyds, of Vienna, of the 23d, says :—" General Schilders is not yet quite uut of danger. By amputation of his leg he has lost a great deal of blood. Letters from the frontiers of Montenegro, of thel9th, state that the incursions of the Montenegrins have - ceased for the moment. Prince Danielo, they add, has promised to employ all his influence to prevent the Montenegrins from committing acts of hostility to the Turks ; but he is not certain that he will succeed. He has, however, issued a proclamation, in which he calls on his people to remain quiet, and threatens them with severe punishment if they do not. General Dervish Pacha has arrived at Mostar with several regular regiments." THE BALTIC. COPENHAGEN, June 23.—Accounts have now been received of the celebration of the Constitution in more than fifty places, and the number of per sons attending these meetings in Denmark Proper has been stated at about 200,000. Nowhere dare any friend of the Ministry show himself. In the Parliament they had one vote—in the Folk-motes none ! The number of ships in commission in Denmark, and at present cruising about the coasts, is 18, with 80 officers and 2,500 men. The first iron boat ever built in Denmark is now under construction in Copenhagen, by Messrs. Baumgarten and Burmeister ; it is a transport, ordered by the royal navy. The English gunboat Otter has now been re paired at Elsinore, and has started for the fleet. Danish vessels continue to be captured, and a great sensation is produced among the mercantile classes. The three last taken, off Riga, for break ing the blockade, are said here to have been so much the more innocent, as no blockade had ex isted at Riga for three weeks previously, during which period upwards of 20 vessels of different na tions had entered Riga harbour. Then, all of a sudden, vessels were seized far out at sea, and de clared prizes, for " breaking the blockade." All these statements will, of course, be entered into by the admiralty courts, which will take care to make compensation it any injustice has been com mitted. The Christiana Pogten, of the 20th, contains the following letter• from Heparanda, dated June 8 : " The Leopard and another English frigate anchored in Tornea roads on the morning of the Bth, and sent out ten well-manned boats, some of them carrying cannon. The strong current was against them, so that it was not till seven in the evening that seven came in and landed at the custom-house quay. Here the com mander of the boat squadron caused to be read a proclamation by Admiral Plumridge, in the Swedish language, announcing that he will not injure the life or property of peaceful private individuals, and warning the inhabitants against joining the Russian troops, in which case they will be treated as foes. He also ad vised the removal of women and children. After this had been read, a detachment of forty men was left as a guard on the quay ; while another troop, with the English flag at their head, marched to the town and back again without anything happening. The barrack of the Cos sacks had been previously taken down, so that the town contained nothing which belonged to the Emperor' (to me the words of the proclamation)." The detachment was still on shore when the above letter was sent off. According to the Russian Invalid, 100 armed citizens joined the Russian troops at Gamla Carleby in driving back the English boats. If so, there has no doubt been a corresponding punishment. The Aftonbladet, of the 17th, says : "Aland people who come over to the Swedish coast are very careful what they say as to political matters, and lose no opportunity of praising the bravery of the Finnish sharp-shooters against the English. They prophesy that the latter will suffer severely whenever they land, but declare that these same Finlanders are Swedish at heart, and will conduct themselves in a very different manner if the Swedes should occupy the country." It is said that the mate who fell at Gamla Carleby was named Montagu, and tho midshipman who shared the same fate was Mr. Althorpe. By this time fill. whole Swedo-Norwegian fleet is probably dismantled and in harbour. The Norwe gian ships passed. the Sound some time since. If this should have any political meaning, it is not. necessarily a proof that Sweden will not act ; for the Swedish fleet, which daily costs large sums, is of no use to the Western Powers. They want Swedish soldiers and Swedish gunboats ; but they can do without either, if they will only decide on acting with energy, and will send troops. English gunboats are daily arriving. A letter from Hamburg of the 22d, in the Inde pendance of Brussels, says : " After the affairs of Uleaborg, Brahestadt, and Gam la-Carleby, Vice-Admiral Plumridge caused a new coup de main to be executed by the two frigates, the Leopard and the Valorous, against the not very populous locality of Beni. The dockyard and all the materials which it contained were given up to the flames. However, at Kemi only small vessels are constructed. The same fate was, it is said, reserved to the town of Tomes ; but on the strong remonstrances of the Swedish autho rities of the vicinity, and on their statement that Tomes contained a great quantity of merchandise belonging to Swedes, which would have inevitably perished, the town was spared.' A. letter from Stockholm, of June 16, says : " The number of vessels destroyed by Admiral Plum ridge amounts to eleven from Braheatadt, and ten for Uleaborg. No private house was burned in these two towns, and blood was not shed." THE BALTIC FLEET. Vice-Admiral Sir Charles Napier, with the fleet, was off Baro Sound, June 20, but he was positively to sail immediately for Cronstadt with the follow ing ships : Duke of Wellington, screw, 131, Captain Gordon, flag of the Commander-in-Chief, with the captain of the fleet, Rear-Admiral M. Seymour. St. Jean d'Acre, 101, Captain Hon. H. Keppel. Princess Royal, 91, screw, Captain Lord C. Paget. Cmsar, 90, screw, Captain Robb. Nile, 90, screw, Commodore H. B. Martin, C.B.

Rear Admiral Corry was to be left to watch and blockade the Sweaborg fleet, with the following force : Neptune, 120, Captain Hutton. St. George, 120, Captain Eyres, C.B. Prince Regent, 90, Captain Smith. Monarch, 84, Captain Erskine. Boscawen, 70, Captain Glanville. Cumberland, 70, Captain Seymour. Ajax, 60, screw, Captain Warden. Bulldog, 6, paddle, Captain W. K. Hall. With two French ships of the line, &c. Rear-Admiral Plumridge, with his force of Eerews and paddles,lwas to blockade the Gulf of Botimi4 MALTA. A letter from Malta, of June 21, says :-- " The Greek brig Klissova, captured by the Retribu tion in the Black Sea, laden with ammunition and other contraband of war, and having on board at the time of capture a number of Russian soldiers, arrived at Malta on the afternoon of the 18th, in charge of Mr. Moore, second master of the Firebrand, which makes the num ber of prizes now awaiting condemnation at Malta five, viz., two Russians, two lonians, and one Greek, besides the proceeds of several others, which upon survey were found unfit for further navigation. Mr. Moore brings with him in specie and hank notes the proceeds of a salt laden Russian schooner, taken by the Firebrand near the mouth of the Danube. The judge surrogate of the Court of Vice-Admiralty at Malta received a commu nication from Admiral Milne on the 12th, to the effect that in consequence of the resignation of the judgeship by Sir John Stoddart, th ei prize commission lately sent out to Malta is cancelled, and the same is ordered to be returned with the stand ing interrogatories and other instructions which accom panied it. This measure will occasion not only coat siderable inconvenience to the public service, inasmuch as the prize-masters and crews of the vessels sent in here for condemnation (two of which have already been here 21 days) must necessarily remain absent from their ships the captors, for a lengthened period, thus crippling their strength or complement in case any one cruiser has the good fortune to take several prizes ; but the gallant eV" tors themselves will suffer prejudice by the deterioratio n and consequent depreciation in value of the prizes and their cargoes whilst laid up at Malta, especially at this season of the year, awaiting condemnation by the nigh Court of Admiralty in England, where, it is stated, the proceedings will have to be instituted; but, in regard' to which, however, no arrangements for taking prepa ratory evidence have as yet been made. " It is, moreover, in another point of view equally pre judicial to this British possession, for the prizes of the last war, condemned and sold at Malta, some of whic h are still extant, formed, as is well known, the nucleus of the present flourishing Maltese commercial marine. But if only the papers of the prizes are to be trans- - mitted to England, then it will be soon found that the crews can be examined, and the prizes . 1,03 Y remain awaiting condemnation at the nearest F'° rt _, to the place of capture Varna, Trebizo. u°, or Constantinople, for instance—lie there after condeill" nation is Obtained, sold, and so far from their captur e beneficially increasing the commercial marine of Malta -- a British possession—they will in Line cases out of ten bit purchased by foreigners, and in such places possibly by Greek or lonian agents of the enemy. Besides this , captors will naturally become over-cautious in their pro' ceedings, for it will be no trifling matter to meet in case of doubtful or illegal capture an action for damages, swelled out as these would in such a case be by the claimant's heavy expenses in proceeding to so:. distant a place as London, and thro ug h the exercise 0E this over-caution many a prize will escape capture. IT' deed, knowing with what a lavish hand damages are awarded by the tribunals of England, many crafty lonians, and still craftier Greeks, will be too glad t 0 they all, a snare for a British cruiser, whose crew may, e n all, find too late, to their cost and sorrow, that have caught equivalent to a Tartar, or stumbled upon a mare's-nest !
