PACHA, has been killed by a cannon-ball. Behold the latest news from the seat of war—one fragment of it dated up to the 10th instant from Bucharest, another up even to the 13th instant (yesterday), by telegraphic despatch, from Hermanstadt. Additional evi dence is hourly afforded, as must of course be ob vious at a glance, that the heroic Turks have themselves to bear the brunt of the attack made by the Russians upon the peace and liberties of Europe. Hitherto, indeed, the soldiers of the SULTAN have been unaided on land except by the Egyptian con't,ingent. Is this creditable, we ask again and yet again, is this cre di'Lable to the Western allies of the Sublime Porte ? Does it reflect honour this now sufficiently notorious fact, does it reflect honour upon the kindred departments presided over by General VAILLANT in the French, and by the Duke of NEWCASTLE in the English Govern ments? Is the circumstance that the Anglo- French military armaments sent out long ago from Marseilles and Southampton for the defence of invaded Turkey are still only on their way to wards the field of battle, instead of being actually there to. participate in the dangers of the con test with 0:-IER PACHA and his gallant followers— _ is this circumstance calculated to inspirit the brave fellows hitherto encamped at Scutari and Galli poli, or to attach any additional lustre either to Lord RAGLAN'S reputation or to Marshal St. ARNAUD'S fame as the Generalissimo ? We venture still to put forth these i nquiries --although at the risk of being sneered at as impatient, of being sc orned as ignorant, of bein g d er i ded as impor tunate. The intelligence received o f the glorious but deplorable death of MIISSA. PACHA, killed by a Sustained defence while conducting the still - ained defence of Silistria, urges us once more to raic , 3 our voice at these unaccountable, and lamentable, and we had almost said disgraceful delays, and to do so now more than eve r in mingled tones of reproach and lamentation. It is to be hoped that the ministerial vision of the war being at length placed under the care of a distinct department of the Admini stration, greater promptitude, resolution, rnd daring than have yet been apparent in the con duct of the campaign of 1854 against Russia may —for the sake of Turkey, for the sake of Europe, for the sake of humanity—be manifested. Instead of his Grace the Duke of NEWCASTLE having relieved "himself from a heavy charge by consenting to the separation of the heretofore Siamese departments de , , .of War and th e C o l on i es—he h as =Wally in t ~.... , o doing, in resignin g the Colonies to the admi t_VV ,I•_ - ' • .4, - _ . ) - _ - _!niti'ative abilities of -,':;' * . l- L- , -- --. ,--,1.

Formerly, while the 'offices were united • 1 .:1_.'::11 his Mn,do there might hate been some 43=11110 from the multitude of cares devolving upon him in consequence, there might have been every excuse for occasional remissness in one or other of the twin departments. As Colonial Secretary of State, the virtual Minister of War during a time of war might, in the event of any blundering or forgetfulness in regard to the carry ing out of our bellicose operations, have found in the forty gigantic and scattered colonies of Eng land ample and indeed all-sufficient extenuation. Not so can it be any longer with his Grace the Duke of NEWCASTLE. He is no longer the custodian of the destinies of our remote and enormous possessions. .His responsibilities may be reduced in number, but they are, at the same time, wonderfully en larged in importance. To him the country will now look for the prosecution of the war against Russia in a manner and upon a scale befitting the might of the empire and the grandeur of the cause upon the vindication of which England and France have together adventured. That cause, grander even than the defence of the tranquillity of Chris tendom—the repulse of the Barbarism threatenine , . the destruction of Civilisation—the punishment of a b l asphemous schism for its many heinous out rages upon the Divine glory and ineffable benefi cence of Christianity. The Poles saved Europe h a former age from an werwhelming incursion of the infidel hordes of Asia. As her recompense for this sublime triumph over the enemies of Christendom, Poland was dismembered. Her very name as a nation was swept frOm the map . of that very Europe which her hero-sons had defended under the walls of _Vienna. • Can we believe that a similar fate is reserved for Turkey—that Turkey is to bo dis membered and destroyed in return for fight ing so long . and so gallantly against the enormous armies sent forth by the Rus sian AUTOCRAT for the conquest of Christen dom and the destruction of Civilisation. It is , incredible, utterly incredible, notwithstanding the mutterings so frequently heard of late as to the Sublime Porte being a Power completely worn out, and therefore to be 'got rid of with all con venient despatch. Turkey henceforth has claims upon the aid and upon the friendship of Western Europe. Turkey has approved herself worthy of being admitted to the fraternity of the civilised, as we may hope she may one day be among the community of the chief, Powers of Christendom. She has vindicated her right to be numbered among the nation 3 of the earth—among ,the nations to be preserved, and not to be dismembered —by the generous magnanimity and enlightenment of her Sultan AED-UL-MEDJID, by the valour and constancy of her gallant troops, by the skill and heroism of their Commander OMER PACER, and, among , the many brilliant incidents in ' the campaign in the Danubian Provinces, by that glorious and hitherto successful defence of Silis tria, which appeals to our sympathies, arouses our enthusiasm, and commands our admiration. A question of immense importance, involving ihe well-being and happiness of thousands of her MAJESTYS subjects, and exercising no inconsider able influence on the national morality, was last night discussed in the Upper House on the second . reading of the Divorce and Matrimonial Causes , Bill. This measure is mainly founded on the 11> port of the Commissioners appointed in 1851 to inquire into the interesting topic. It, however, differs in some respects therefrom, chiefly in the constitution of the tribunal about to he invested with authority to pronounce a divorce a viacuto matrirnonii, and also in sending cases going merely for one a meitsa et th,oro to the Court of Chancery, where they may be brought to a hearing before any one of the seven Equity Judges. O n th e contrary, the Commissioners recommended that all matrimonial disputes should be brought under the , same jurisdiction, viz., of a court consisting of a Vice-Chancellor, a Common Law Judge, and an Ecclesiastical Judge. In other matters it cr ly slightly varies from the suggestions of the Learned Commissioners. In one point t7lere was perfect unanimity. All persons agreed in the impropriety and inexpe diency of the existing system, and looked anxi ously for the much-required improvements. But here the agreement ended, for while some per sons, no Lord RADESDALE, would insist on the ied;ssolubility of the nuptial tie, the others would extend the remedy, and make a dissolution of the marria;e contract open to all who had well founded grounds of comp7aint against their part ners, such as would prevent the possibility of a reunion. Some would only aff or d re li e f w ithi n the narrowest limits, surrounding the applications with so many difficulties as to deter the great majority of claimants, and also making it a very expensive luxury, while others would fling open the portals of the new tribunal to every bona fide suitor, and render justice to the humble as well as to the wealthy sufferer. It was the object of the Commissioners, as it now is of Lord ORAN WORTII, to steer a middie course between these conflicting opinions —to pre vide a more simple, easy, and cheaper remedy thr4n is possible under the present system ; while at the same time there would be nothing to en courage separations on trivial or inadequate grounds, but that the parties, from knowing the impossibility of forming other connexions, might be induced to display mutual forbearance and even forgiveness towards one another. This latter feeling, laudable as it unquestionably is, appears to have been carried to a very great extent-so much so, indeed, as to render the measure wholly inadequate to the exigencies of the care, and to render relief impossible in ninety-nine instances out of one hundred where it might safely be granted, where, indeed, the aggrieved p.,rties should be entitled to demand it e,.; de,;it,o Indeed, although unquestionably a ste? in the right direction, it is only valuable rs the intro duction of the sharp end of the wedge, by means whereof mare useful results may be anticipated at some future time. Under the New Bill, the divorce, a vin~ul o matrimonii, is in accordance with the recommenda t:_on of the Commissioners to be granted solely for adultery, and except in cases of extreme atrocity —such as bigamy or incest—on the ary2lication of the husband only. On the first y , int the problem is, indeed, one of great difficulty, in which the arguments on either side ace co de - :ly balanced that it is hard to arrive at a satisfactory conclusion. ' That then) may be cases of extreme cruelty and oppre3sion sach as would prevent thb possibility of Vie in jured party again living with the aggrrcor, is certain. The law has not been accustomed t., look on any injury sil!o.:t of adultery as bang irreparable. Nor has it, we reg..et to say, treated females at all fairly or eciy.tabiy in matrimonial matters. The Divine iwecept that a man should not put away his wif e a nd marry another, save fog fornication only, has unquestionably great weight ; and if the separation from bed and board, with full p-:otection to the injured party ,e c h ls t a I. e .a n ,_ accountl,it is si) perhaps a p the other, could b e cheaps demands from auy acts or d going as far as ought to be sanctioned. But the rule, that however great the injury no relief shal be given to the female, appears more ques tionable. Surely a woman has feelings as well as with a man . S u rely wh en a ll her prospectsreiecinioiio:s forbid in i i life p are blasted—when her rm outragedrer t afr a her resuming her the man who has violated his nuptial vow — s h e should not be condemned to a solitary and miser able existence. As it is, the rules adopt e d are o ne-sided, and, unfortunately, n o .ender them more just and e p l a , r ) t r partial is m and ade , to 1 equi table. Gran6e-I L. L • t hat there may be greater reaso n to suspect collusion, t h at the man may not have i th ei e ie r e i. a e n , and that its t yebpe affordeduancetoo3 the woman the offence for which alone 1 future consequences would not fa ll so heavily on THE SUN, LONDON. WEDNESDAY EVEN ING, JUNE 14, 18544; the male as the female ! These would be all grounds for a more stringent and searching exa mination, and, perhaps, for limiting the power of contracting alliance to the innocent party—but they should not prove insuperable obstacles to the injured wife's obtaining ample redress. On this point, then, we trust the provisions of the mea sure may be modified, although we would not on that account_ reject the instalment of justice ten dered for our acceptance. The new tribunal, too, appears- of too compli cated a character. Although the expense and de lays attendant on a suit therein might not be so great as on a bill in Parliament, they would still be so great as to prohibit the less wealthy classes, the STEPHEN BLACKPOOLS, and persons of his de scription, from obtaining redress. Men with 201., or 1001., aye, or 5001., would not face the costs of such a suit ; and yet it is for such persons that the bill is or ought to be framed. The wealthy do not mind the saving of a few hundred poinds. Those who could apply to the proposed tribunal could also bring forward a private Act of Parliament. We fear, therefore, that the pre sent bill does not g) far enough to be effectual, and that, therefore, it is not calculated to remove the blot which has so long disfigured the national escutcheon. MON E Y MA RKE AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. CITY, TWO o'CLOCK. The sales of cotton at Liverpool yesterday were estimated at 5,000 bales. The market was heavy and prices in favour of buyers. The sales com prised 3,500 American s 100 Pernam and Maranham at 61d. to 60.; 100 Egyptian at 6d. to 71d. ; 300 Surat at 3d. to 4d., and 30 Sea Island at is. to Is. 2d. per lb. Railway Shares were steady. The Angiesea, arrived from New South Wales, brings accounts of March 6th. She has on board 4,262 ounces of gold. There has been a report that the Steboneath, from Melbourne, was supposed to be off the coast, but this is probably incorrect. She would bring 12,108 ounces of gold. The Ster ]ingshire, from Launceston, is believed to be in the Channel. There are many items descriptive of the progress of the C o l on i es scattered through the advices received yesterday and to-day by the various sailing ships that are dropping in. It would appear from these that the production gold is good, but that the imports are so large as to occasion a very great demand for money, to be re mitted in payment to Europe, and it is stated that gold had been sold as high as 41. per ounce. This is a rate that could leave no profit, but rather the reverse, and only shows that there was not a choice as to the means of discharging liabilities in this country. The various Banks in New South Wales had large deposits up to the close of last year, and in the last quarter of 1353 there was an increase of nearly 4 per cent., compared with the previous quarter, as regards the Banks of New South Wales. The discounts at the end of last year ex ceeded 3,000,0001., and the assets were more than 7,600,0001., the liabilities being 6,500,0001. There was a balance of working capital of about a million. The coin and bullion in hand was much beyond what was considered requisite to conduct the trade of the colony, the estimated sum that ought to be held by the banks being about two millions, whereas they had in hand 3,630,000/. In tlie Sydney journals it is stated that the pre liminary arrangement for opening the new settle ment at Port Curtis have been accomplished. Captain M. O'Connell had sailed with a well ap pointed staff of working pioneers, and the Governor and suite had followed in H. M. S. Calliope. Well organised, settlements on the northern coast would overcome all the difficulties of overland communi cation, and bring Sydney within 50 days of Lon don. The account before us then states : "With respect to the opening of Port Curtis, we may observe that the first operation to which Captain O'Connell has been instruct& to direct his best attention is the opening up of every available means of internal coininunication. He is to commence by constructing road from the township of Gladstone to that of Gayndrth, the most northerly of the present established post towns ; and which is distant from Brisbane22l miles, from Mary borough (Wide Bay) 65 miles ; and from Gladstone (Port Curtis) about 100 mites. It is expected, from the prac ticable features of the country between Gayndah and Gladstone, that a good bush road will be opened in three months, and that thus postal communications with every part of the colony will be at the command of the settlers. Whether as regards the pastoral, mercantile, or maritime interests of the colony, the opening of this settlement offers a most promising subject of consideration. The result of the first sales of the lands already surveyed in the town ship of Gladstone and Pounty of Clinton, give evidence as to the great interest with which the new settlement is viewed. For 21 town allotments, the upset price of which was 201. per acre, 3181. per acre was given. For 215 acres of suburban lots, whose upset price was from 21. to 21. 10s. per acre, 91. was obtained. " We are informed that the survey of the other pro claimed counties is advancing with all possible despatch, and that building and other operations requisite for the opening of public offices, stores, wharves, &c., promise to be carried out with activity." The South. Australian Copper Mining Company have received information of the discovery of a very large, and as is reported very valuable, silver gossan lode, in the southern part of their property at Strathalbyn. If the discovery be of anything I;ke the asserted importance, no long time can elapse before it will be tested. The rates for bills of exchange upon the Conti nental cities were generally weaker yesterday after noon—Paris, 90 days being taken at 25 25 to 27k, Amsterdam at 11 17 to 17i, Hamburg 13 6 to 61, and Trieste 13 20 to 24, the last named being firmer. Silver dollars are still in demand. Bar silver y is at ss. 11d. Thera has been a very dull market again fo ii?ub'ic Securities, but the quotations are rather tending upwards. Consols have been 91 to 911, and are now 91k The Reduced 3 per Cents. have been at 91) g 1, and since at 91s Bank Stock is steady at 206. Exchequer Bills are at par to 4q. premium. The Exchequer Bonds Scrip is up to l l- and premium. The speculative transac tions have been as limited as for some days past. The Foreign Market has been nominally without alteration. Russian 5 per Cents. have been quiet at 997 0 and Dutch 4 per Cents. at 892 T. Vene zuela Stock is worth 241, and Equador 3) 2 . There have been no bargains in Spanish or Mexican. For Rail way Shares the market has acquired more firmness, responding to the better tone of the funds. London and North-Western, York and Berwick, and Eastern Counties have been princi pally dealt in. This is "making up" day, and scarcely any other business has been transacted. The account will be of a light character. The Na mur and Liege shares have advanced IL The other foreign lines are neglected. All the Mining Shares are heavy, the Joint Stock Banks are merely nominal, and the Land Com panies quiet. The Crystal Palace do not improve. BRITISH FUNDS THIS DLY AT ONE O'CLOCK.

George Williams said that he was employed at the Surrey Theatre, and was assi s t an t to the deceased. On Moze.ay morning last, at a guar tern past nine o'clock, he saw the deceased in the theatre paint'ng. He then told witness to light the fires, w hi c h he d'd. Af t er th a t was done he sent him to fetch some things that were wanted as properties to be used in the performances of the evening. Witness went and pro cured them, and returned in about ten minutes or a quar ter of an hour, when, on entering the property room, he passed him without see!ng him. He turned round to :ook alter Wm, when he sound him hanging by means of a piece of rope, which was fastened to the gas pipe. Witness ran down stairs .:rd gave the alarm to the hall keepee, who attended with others, and the deceased was cut down. Mr. Donoghue and Mr. Watson, two sur geons, prompt'y a,tended and tried to restore suspended animation, but without success. Witness knew that de ceased was under notice to leave his situation, and that he was depressed in mind owing to some reflection which had been cast on him as he believed unjustly. The wile of the deceased said her husband had been overdriven with his work. She was sure he was out of his mind when he committed the act, for he was a very good man. Mr. Shepherd, lessee of the theatre, at tended, and spoke well of the deceased : he himself had underlet the theatre, and knew nothing of the cause of the suicide. The jury returned a verdict of temporary insanity. SELF-ACCUSATION OF A MURDERER.—On Tue-day a man named Hugh Marks delivered himself up to Police- Inspector Cehil', of Manchester, accusing himself with having, whilst engaged a turn-out at Liverp oo l a year and a h a 'f ago, ceuscel the death of a person named Bruce, in the Trafalgar Decks. He states that at the clod of Noveinbee, 1852, he was employed by the Glas gow Steam Company at Liverpool, where there was a tarn-out oe the Clarence-dock porters, and during the tura-out he and other peraoas belonging to the porters' society went on board a Wexford boat lying in the Tra falgar-docks, where they found several men at work. One of these men, Mark says, he pushed into the hold, where be received such serious injuries from the fall that he was taken to the Northern Hospital, and that lie died these of those injuries. The police at Man chester had no information of such a crime having been committed, but they have detained Marks whilst the proper inquiries are instituted in Liverpool as to the probable truth of the accusation. LA'M'EST FORE UN NEWS. THE WAR. RESULT OF THE CONFERENCE AT TESCHEN. A telegraphic despatch from Vienna confirms in substance the one published yesterday as to the satisfactory nature of the late conference between the Emperor of Austria and the King of Prussia. It says it was perfectly cons;stent with the avowed policy. No diplomatic note resulted therefrom ; no pen was put to paper. The policy of the minor German States formed the chief object of discussion. It also repeats the rumour that Colonel Man teuffel will proceed shortly to St. Petersburg with a Prussian note, supporting the recent Austrian note. THE PENINSULAR MAIL.

The Queen and Prince Albert, with the Royal family, and accompanied by the King of Portugal and his bro ther, the Duke of Oporto, arrived at the Castle about 5 o'clock this afternoon, from London. ThE COURT.—Her Majesty and Prance Albet I accom panied by the youthful King of Portugal, who le:, Buckingham Palace yesterday for Windsor Castle, wig return to town on Friday next. The Queen and her illustrious visitors will honour Ascot Races to-morfow with their presence. when the Emperor of Russia's annual gift will be superseded by the orig nal gold cup.

The royal party expressed them selves highly gratified with their visit. The Duke of Devonshire is progressing as welt as can be:expected. It was stated yesterday, in answer to in quiries, that he had passed a good night. Dr. Ferguson, Mr. Nursey, and Mr. Condell, are in attendance on his grace. - EXTENSION OF THE ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH TO SOMER SET HOUSE.—This morning workmen were engaged in laying down a line of wires from the Strand to the Vic tualti•og Department of the Admiralty, Somerset House. By th,s the office will be p!aced in direct communication with the great naval arsena.s at Pembroke, Plymouth, Portsmouth, Deal, Chatham ' and from the last men tioned yard with Sh eerness b y means of numeral flags. Such a system is particularly required at the present time, as considerable delay will be avoided in sending orders for supplies of provisions and medical and sur gical stores to ships fitting oct, and for conveyance to those vessels forming the Baltic, North Sea, and Black Sea fleets, besides reducing the labour of the messengers. SEARCH FOR COAL NEAR G.SELONG.—By private letters received by the last Overland Australian Mail brought to Staithampton by the Shnla last Saturday, intelli gence has reached home that a Mrs. Thomas, formerly of Lyndhurst, Hants, is digging for coal about five miles from Geelong ; she has dug 300 feet deep and expended 3,0001., and come across several seams of soal, but no:i thick enough to pay for working. She has been offered 23,0001. for her coal pit, which she has refused, as she is in expectation of coming across a seam that will realise a handsome fortune. THE PRIC , ] GoLD.—The quotation of gold at Paris is about 4 pc' mille discount (according to the last tariff), which, at the English Mint price of 31. 17s. 10d1. per oz. for standard gold, gives an exchange of 25.07 ; and the exchange at Paris on London at short being 25.02: F , it follows that gold is abo;:t 0.18 p:e cent. deaJe7.• in Paris than in London. By adviccs from Hamburg the price of gold is 4211 per mark, which, at the Engli,:h Mint price of 3/. 17s. 10&d. per oz. for standard gold, gives an exchange of 13.3 k ;an the exchange at Hamburg on London at short being 13.41, it follows that gold is 0.53 per cent. dearer in London than in Hamburg. Cou. - .52 OF EX.OHANGA.—The course of exchange at New 17G - :1.7. on Loudon for bills at 60 days' sight is 1091 ler cent., and, the par of exchange between England and .A.rne - :-Cll, being 109 23-40 per cent., it follows that the exchange is nominallly 0.17 per cent. in favour of England ; and, ai:tor malting allowance for chargis of transport and difference of interest, the prcsest rate leaves a trifling profit on t:ie import..tion of gold f rom the United States. QUEEN'S COLLEGE, B:RMINGFIAM.—The Dean of the Faculty has received a communicann from the Horse '1 Guards, in reply to a memorial from the council of the college, to the effect "that the General Commanding.in- Chief has granted to that body the privilege of recom mending gentlemen for apnolntrnent to the medical de. partment of the army." The council is also in esane nication on the same subject with the Hon. the East india. Company. THE QUEEN'S BILTHDAY IN CANADA.—The holiday of England was celebret.A with great spir't in Montreal., and throughout the provinces generally. Captain Atkins, of the Ottowa, the fine steamer of Vie Liverpool and Canadian line, fired a royal salute of 21 guns*. The steamer was gaily dressed, the stars and stripes floating at the foremast, and the American, C.,- nadian, and English ensigns, side Iv side, betokening the good feeling toward each other which now animates the people of the different countries thus represent - A. VICTORIA BRIDGE, THE LARGEST TN T3E WORLD, AT MONTREAL.—Among the events which future makers of almanacks wilt have to place to appropriate days, tat which took p'ace on the 24th ult., will, doubtless, meet • attention. We mean the first act in the construction of the Victoria Bridge—consummated on the birthday of the illustrious lady after whom the bridge has been named. Operations to be conducted tithe water require as a preli minarytemporaryconstructions, which will enclose a cer tain space, and the walls being made impervious to water, pumps are worked, and thus the area for the masonry is lest clear. On Wednesday evening, the first of the:.e dams for the bridge was towed to the appointed place and there securely moored, and thus the first step has been taken in, perhaps, the greatest monument ot engi neering skill which the world has ever seen. Of these coffer dams, four or five more are a'ready made, and wiil be immediately set in position. They are in theM. selves, works on which a great amount of labour has been bestowed, and promise to answer the purpose for which they are intended in every way. We have, there fore, to congratulate our citizens, now that the opera tions for the hlidge have fully commenced, and it re. quires only a few summers to pass for us 'to witness its c°riltliei: ; .ol, and a proud day will it be for. Montreal when the isret train passes over the Victoria Bridge.— I Montreal Trangript. THE FLEET BEFORE HELSINGFORS. Tile following are extracts from a letter written by an officer of high rank ili the Baltic fleet, dated from Barosund, some twenty miles from Helsing tors, June 6 _ . "The shot that the different forts have fired at our ships weigh upwards of 261bs equalling our 24- pounders. They look ridiculously small to our enor mous shot, and I fancy that wounds or damage done by them would be by the splinters they cause. One shot pessed through a crowd of 20 men, and did not hurt one till it struck a gun-carrage, and made splinters, which killed one man, and knocked another over. The wounds made by the Milne rifle ball are very severe. "Those who do not get under fire are very impatient, but it seems very doubtful if we shall have any general altion here. The Imperieuse looks in every night to Helsingfors, and reports the state of the ships in the harbour in the morning. A story is current, that, under a fl ig of trues, a challenge will be sent in, giving them the advantage of a ship or two, and allowing them to state their own numbers if they accept. They are con foundedly good gunners ; so perhaps you may hear of the results of the challenge in a naval tournament. "The idea of attacking the batteries of Heisingfors, Croestadt, or Revel, appears to be quite banished. The war will therefore be a strict blockade. I can't see any finish to it." OPERATIONS ON THE CIRCASSIAN COAST, The Moaii.eur publishes the following despatch from Vice-A , liniral Hamelin, the Commander-in- Chief of the French fleet in the Black Sea " Baltehiek, Ville de Paris, Nay 25. "Monsieur le Mimstre,—ln my preceding letters I had the honour to inform your Excellency that reports were current that the Russians had continued the evacua tion of their lobs and establishments in Circassia and Georgia, even those of Soukoum-Kal6 and Redout lial6, whichi are, however, the victualling ports of their army in Asia, and so precious to the latter. These re ports have been offie'ally confirmed by the arrival of the French frigate Mogador, forming part of the Anglo- French squadron sent by Admiral Dundas and my self to the eoaat of Circassia. By a report received from the Commander of the Charlemagne, I can in form your Excellency that Anapa and Sujack Bay are the only points retained by the Russians ; the gar risons o: these places had even been incre ised, and pre sent an eifective fotee of 20,000 men. This concentra , tion of forces, not far from Kertch Straits, indicates that the enemy wishes to defend the approaches of the Taman peninsula which command those straits. Re dont Ka,l6 was not yet completely evacuated when the Anglo-French naval division appeared on the coast ; but a demonstration by our vessels, and a battalion of Turkish troops provided by &slim Pacha, sufficed to procure us possession of the place, which was occupied by the battalion which now forms its garrison. " However satisfactory were these actual results, Ad miral Dundas and myself were informed that there was not a moment to be lost to send a reinforcement of Turkish troops and steamers to take posses-ion of Sou koum, where' the Circassians and Georgians were begin ning to dispute for the rule, and themselves called for the assistance ofTurkish troops to take possession of localities where the Ottoman flag already flies. Yesterday we held a conference on this subject with Vice-Admiral Ahmed-Paella, and it was resolved that, considering the urgency of the case, the steam-ship Le Sans - Pareil and two Turkish steamers should start at once to convey troops, arms, and ammunition to Soukoum-Kald—in a word, all that Ahmed-Pacha himself might judge it suit able to send there. "'Y our Excellency will therefore see that matters have taken a favourable turn on the Georgian and Circas sian coasts, where the Ottoman flag will not fail to float everywhere where it. floated before. " Bardan has been selected as the point where we shah enter into regular communication with Schamyl and his delegates.—l am, &c., (Signed) " HAMELIN." THE PRUSSIAN LOAN. A laaer from Berlin, in the Borsenhalle of Ham burg, sa y s :--" The mobilisation of th e army i s resolved on. But only a part of it will be placed on a war footing. The loan of 30,000,000 thalers is about to be issued. The bill respecting it has received the sanction of the King on the p:oposition of the Minister of War." TUNIS. A letter from Tunis says :—" The expedition which the Bey is preparing for the war in the East will be composed of five vessels of war and 10,000 men of regular troops, but the departure will not take place until after the Ramadan, that is to say at the commencement of July. It is said that in order to meet the expenses of this expedition, the Government has proposed to sell 0,003 couffes of corn of the corning crop, and 20,000 metals of oil. The troops destined for the expedition are infantry and artillery, under the orders et Sidi Serschidi. The pit . chase of horses by English officers continues. On May 22, the Bey le3 Mahamedia for the Go letta, wAIEI2e he is to pws the summer." CO-OPERATION OF DENMARK WITH THE WESTERN POWERS. A letter from Copenhagen, of the 7th, in the MonLev,r, says—" In consequence of the notifica tion from her Britannic Majesty to the Danish Go vernmen '6 of the blockade of all the Russian ports ol the Ealtfc, on the Gulf of Finland, and on the Gulp of Bothnia, the Danish journals of this day contain an official announcement of the same from the department of Foreign Affairs, and which tor ininates with these words—' Any vessel attempting to break the blockade will be seized."' GENERAL MAYERHOFER'S MISSION TO BERLIN. The Borsenhalle, of Hamburg, under date of Vienna, Bth, says :—" The mission of General Mayerhofer at Berlin is falsely interpreted by the majority of the journals. It is generally pretended that it has for object the settlement of some second ary points of the Austro-Prussian Convention, particularly as regards the preliminary arrange ments, but such is not the c4se. General Mayer hofer, who has for several years past exercised the functions of Austrian Consul-General in Servia, and who is one of the first Austrian diplomatists, has acquired during his residence in the Principa lities such a complete knowledge of the state of the country, that the intrigues of the Russian agents, and their efforts to bring the inhabitants over to their ideas, have not escaped him. The true ob ject of the mission of the general is to make known to the Court of Prussia the intrigues which have lately extended into Gallicia, Croatia, Szc." THE AUSTRIAN ULTIMATUM. The Trilste Gazette, under date of Vienna, says The peremptory delay which Austria has fixed in her note for the evacuation of the Princi palities by Russia is, it is said, 40 days, which will be consequently expired at the end of July. Austria is said to have promised, in case she receives a satisfactory reply, to act with the Western Powers, in,concert with Prussia, in order to induce them to withdraw the auxiliary troops within a given time, and to raise the blockade of the Russian ports. The Principalities would be afterwards replaced in their former state. A Congress of the Great Powers would then meet in a neutraltown, and a new treaty would be concluded between Russia and the Porte, under the guarantee of the Cleat European Powers. We know not whether these partichlars are exact, but it is certain that little hopes are entertained of a satisfactory reply to the last note, and that there are great difficulties in the way of a diplomatic ar rangement." ___ • A letter from Vienna' of the Bth, in the Bresla7f, Gazette, says :—" Count Buol Schauenstein lea yesterday for Prague to make a report to the Em peror. This report is of the greatest import ance. Here people are prepared for the worst, all hope of seeing the Czar yield, even to the summons of Austria, being lost. The regiments in garrison in this city have received orders to march. Some changes have been made in the direction they are to take ; thus, instead of going to Transy:vania, they will go to Galicia, and particularly to Cracow. Great importance- is ascribed to the arrival of General Boredeck, chief of the staff of Oe army of Italy. He has been summoned here from Verona, and will no doubt be entrusted with a command in Galicia. it is cer tain that it will be Prince Gortzchakoff, ambassa dor of the Czar to the Germanic Confederation and. at Stuttgardt, who will bring the reply to the Aus trian note. General Count Stachelberg, an attaclA of the Russian legation at Vienna, leaves to-day for Munich and CarLruhe on a private mission." REPORTED -DEATH OF THE BRAVE COMMANDEII AT SILISTRIA. The Ost-deu,:sche Post of yesterday has the fol lowing : Advices from Hermanstadt of the 13th state that Prince Paskiewitsch, though ill, leaves Kalarasch for Jassey. Mussa Pacha has been killed by a cannon ball. Omer Pacha has nominated Kinkli Pacha his suc cessor, formerly commander of Basardschik. Letters from Orsova of the Bth inst. state that the Ottomans are withdrawing from Lesser Walla chia, being ordered to Rutsch uk, where Said Pacha is concentrating 40,000 men, to break through the Russian lines at Turtukai, for the relief of Silistria. Omer Pacha intends making a simultaneous movement to raise the siege of Silistria. The ex ecution of this plan will probably take place on the 18th or 20th. FUNERAL OF CAPTAIN GIFFARD. ODESSA, June 3.—General Osten-Sacken, with his staff, two battalions, and two guns, attended Captain Giffard's funeral. ARRIVAL OF TIZOOPS AT VARNA. VARNA, June 2.—Twenty-two vessels, supposed to have 20,0J3 auxiliaries on board, have arrived, and will be landed immediately. The sea is very stormy. Communication between SiEstria and &humla is interrupted by Cossacks. APPREHENSIONS THE RUSSIANS IN THE PRINCIPALITIES. A letter from Buchare,s, of June 10, says last night the archives of the Chancery and Treasury were transported hence to Fokschan. DANGEROUS POSITION OF THE RUSSIANS IN GEORGIA.. Private letters from the Crimea announce that an officer attached to the staff of the general com manding at Tiflis has arrived at Sebastopol, crav ing reinforcement for the Russian army of Trans caucasia, which was considered to ba seriously menaced by the Circassiaus and other independent tribes. CONSTANTINOPLE. JUNB Tuesday there was a grand dinner at the British Embassy to the Duke of Cambridge. The Highlanders to the number of 150 lined the passages, and au Italian band regaled the ears of the company up stairs. The chief incident in the evening was the speech of M. von Bruck, the Aus trian luternuncio. 11,:s Excellency proposed the independence and integrity of the Ottoman Em pire, and declared that his Government was ready to uphold the prizt.:iple laid down in the pro tocol of the four powers. He applauded the firm ness of the western powers, which was likely to re sult in a settlement such as would be beneficial to Europe and afford assurances of a permanent peace. Three cheers were given at this de claration, the British Ambassador giving the signal. In after conversation the luternuncio declared himself authorised to use the ex pressions which had elicited so much applause. There was a grand review yesterday of the whole of the remaining British force. It took place in the plain of Hyder Pasha, at Scutari, where our army was stationed. The Sultan was present, followed by about 200 of the principal persons of the State. Though rather unpunctual, for the troops were kept waiting from half-past 11. to 2 olclick, the necessities of Ramazan formed a sufficient excuse. The personal appearance of the Sultan was much superior to that presented on ordinary occasions. The excitement of the hour and the novelty of the spectacle gave animation to a countenance which is generally worn and downcast. His Highness laughed and talked with European vivacity, and appeared to enjoy the operations of a force which if not numerous is most brilliant in its appearance and skilful in its evolutions. 'The troops amounted to 10,000 men, and were commanded by Lord Raglan. The Earl of Cardigan was at the head of the cavalry, the Lancers having been brought from liouleh for the occasion. The crowd was enormous, and the effect must be favourable to the reputation of the English army amongst our allies, who, to speak the truth, have been heretofore rather im pressed with the superior energy and vigour of the French Commanders. WALLA.CHIA. The following letter has just been received from the head-quarters of the army of Wallachia : " Head-Quarters of Army of Wallachia, rova, June . "I :eel deli g ht e d t o beK the aj first (as I I hope) to an nounce to you the news of a victory which we have gained over the Russians, in the first place at Slatina, and then at Karakal. It is positively the finest of the campaign, while for the Russians it is the most complete and most shameful of defeats. As the courier is wait ing for my letter I must reserve my details for another occasion, and content myself now with giving you merely the leading facts. Here they are :—Four regi ments of cavalry, of whom three were regulars, and one of our friends the Bashi-Bazouks, left Krajova, our head-quarters, in the morning of the 28th, and moved on Slatina, on the Aluta, where, as we were in formed, the Russians were concentrated. On the morning of the 29th they were perceived in large force at Slatina. There was only an unimportant skir mish. They moved on Karakal, while the Turks followed hot foot, and on the 30th May, exactly at noon, the affair began. We had, as I have already told you, fuur regiments of cavalry, about 3,500 horses, and no cannon, while the Russians had four regular regiments, viz.—the Ist and 10th Hussars, the 9th Lancers, and the 2d Dragoons, six pieces of artillery, and 500 Cossacks. Owinc , to the admir a bl e tactics of Ismael Pasha and Skender Beg, this force • was soundly thrashed before 4 o'clock. The num bers:4nd results, ne given officially, Are MOO lillaints killed—almost all the Hussars, who suffered the most ; 1,000 wounded ; 500 horses brought to Krajova, the same number left dead at Karakal ; more than 1,000 muskets, lances, sabres, uniforms, equipments of all sorts and sizes, carriages full of baggage ; 115 prisoners, and what, afier all, is the best of the thing, and does not often happen in warfare, the six pieces of cannon, all with perfect harness, with their carriages, caissons, &c., au grand °caplet, all captured by an inferior force without guns, and brought by us in triumph to Karakal. After beating the Russians handsomely, we pursued them as far as the Aluta, where a good number were drowned. The Colonel of the 10th Hussars, the Major of the same regiment, and more than ten other officers, were killed. The whole of the Russian artillery. men, without exception, were killed at their guns. "Yesterday morning a courier, who had been sent for the purpose from Karakal, conveyed the news of our vic tory to Krajova, and the return of our column with all its trophies. In an instant the whole of the army mounted on horseback, and came out to meet us, with a band of music at their head, and uttering shouts of joy. All Krajova met u 4. All the trophies were there. The prisoners marched first. The six guns above all pro duced a prodigious effect. They are the first that our corps has.taken during a campaign in which it has in variably been victorious. The Turks were in the great est enthusiasm, and, indeed, they had good reason to be so. Last night Krajova was illuminated. A courier has been sent to Omar Pasha. The guns are in the square of the town, and will remain with our corps d'armee during the whole of the campaign. The Turks have lost 100 kille i and 150 wounded. The result of the affair will doubtless be to give us definitive possession of the Aluta ; and we shall take up position at Slatina and Karakal. The Russians are in full retreat on Bucha rest. The bridges of the Aluta are cut. We are admi rably situated at Krajova. We are feted and invited out by all the Boyards in the country. I assure vou we find our present quarters, particularly after our hard winter at Kalafat, after all our privations, and all our suffer ings, somewhat of a Capua ; but you won't deny that we have richly earned it. Our camp is at the en trance of the town, in a beautiful situation. All the superior officers are quartered in the town. A Frenchman, M.,de Raymond, who has been established for the list 10 years at Krajova, as Director of the French University, learning that a countryman of his named Mercier had arrived at the head of the Turkish regiment which he commands, came to the camp and claimed bin from the General-in-Chief as his guest, and be gives to him the most cordial and unbounded hospitality. The family of M. de Raymond is composed of his wife, also French, and three children. There are about 20 French residents at Krajova." THE BALTIC. ANOrtIER SUCUES3FUL EXPEDITION. A letter iron Copenhagen, dated yesterday, says it is reported that some English vessels, off Bra h stab, in Finland, demanded the gunboats building there. They were refused the entrance into the harbour. They took or destroyed the gun-boats and a large number of me:elant ships, and fired the wharf. Ten thousand barrels of tar, and property worth 309,000 silver roubles, were destroyed. COPENHAGEN, June 9.—Great complaints are made here of the unjust and unaccountable capture of the Danish schooner Franciska, Captain Michel son, which was last month seized and carried into Farey Sound. Till's ship took in a cargo of wine and salt iu Spain, and was bound to tu g s, or to Memel, if this harbour was blockaded. The bill of lading was to order, but the goods l r tb;ib'y be longed to a Hamburg house. On reaching Copen hagen, the captain, on May 13, repaired to Lite com mander of an English armed vessel, then lying in the roads, and asked whether Riga was blockaded. "No," was the answer, the commander bidding the inquirer obtain further information from the English cruisers ho would meet. On arriving at Lyserort, at the entrance to Pviga Bay, between the mainland and Osel, but at a great distance (thirty Danish! miles) from the blockaded harbour, the Franciska saw an English cruiser lying at anchor. She im mediately approached of her own accord, backed her sails, and received a boat from the cruiser to demand her papers. She was ordered to keep near the Queen's ship ; but in the evening a prize crew, consisting of a midshidman and three men, were sent on board, three of her own crew were taken on board the cruiser, and she was declared a fair prize. If this statement is correct, the English commander has been guilty of an act of glaring wrong. The Franciska must immediately be given up to her owners, and full satisfaction be made for all losses sustained. Mistakes may be made, but no illegality must be committed or persevered in. The whole case must be honestly inquired into, and full justice done. GREECE. Friendly relations between Greece and the West ern Powers have been re-established. Suli and Laki have submitted to Fuad Effendi. They now will march against the insurgents. It is stated, says a Constantinople letter of the Ist June, that in the neighbourhood of Samos the number of pirates continues to increase. Within the last few days a number of Greeks have quitted the island, some to betake themselves to this despe rate life, others to swell the bands of the Thessalian insurgents. A kind of propaganda is being carried on through the islands of the Asiatic coast by the emis saries of the Hetoeria. One Heracles, who had been. expelled from Samos two mouths nnce for endea vouring to excite a movement among the po pulation, has returned clandestinely, and is hid, probably in expectation that a favourable moment is at hand for revolutionising the island, which has always been one of the most turbulent in the Ar chipelago. There are four large pirate vessels in the neighbourhood, and their crews receive acces sions from the inhabitants of the villages on the coast. The vessels pass boldly up and down before the island, and the crews land to carry on depre da,ticns, without the possibility of hindrance from the authorities. In the neighbourhood of Rhodes Admiral Le Barbier de Tinan has captured a boat with four persons, supposed to belong to a piratical crew. He landed them, and continued the search. The islands and harbours of the south-west coast of Asia Minor have always been favourite resorts of these corsairs. They are well wooded, and a craft can lie hid far within one of the narrow gulfs, safe from the pursuit of all who are not thoroughly acquainted with the spot which she has chosen, tot a refuge. FR ONCE. With the exception of the two Ministerial papers,- the Constitutionnel and the Pays, none of the Parisi journals venture to comment on the telegraphic despatch published by the Moniteur of Monday, on the subject of the removal of Prince. Paskiewitsclie head-quarters to ..Tasy. The Co ast ationne/ con tinues to regard the movement as a menace to Aus tria; and the inference that it seems to draw from it is, that the Emperor of Russia hopes by it to de ter Aust . ia from any direct and open manifestation in favour of the Western Powers ' • or, if the move ment should fail as a menace, to be able, by rapid action, to give to Austria so much occupation for the protection of her own territory as to make it impossible for her to give any effectual aid * to tho allies of Turkey. The steam corvette Tisiphone, commanded by Capta;ii De Montour, arrived on the 10th at Toulon, from Brest, with two companies of naval artillery, who were to sail in a few days for the Black Sea. The 2d battery of the 13th Regiment of Artil lery has been ordered to the East, and will embark on the 21st inst.

The Madrid journals of the Bth inform us that the Minister of Finance had, cn the 7th, a confer ence with the :Directors of the Bank of San Fer nando for the purpose of definitively settling the conditions on which it will undertake the payment aliroad of the half year's dividends. The Eastern war, says one of the journals, has rendered the commerce of Malaga very prosperous; never at this season, indeed, has the port been seen so full of vessels; but the dearness of freight makes coal so expensive as to cause inconvenience to the manufactures in the provinces. A Madrid letter, from a ministerial source, says —" Alarming rumours of an ouWreak for to-day have been spread during the last two days, but everything has been perfectly tranquil. It is novr said that the rising has been postponed for a week. It is said also that some arresta were made last night amongst the officers of the garrison. But these rumours spread. by malevolent persons are completely false." Letters from Ouba, - to the 12th, state that per fect tranquillity prevailed in the island, and that tire affair of the Black Warrior was considered as terminated. The weather is rainy and cold as in ►he month of January. MARI/LEV E Wti-e THIS DAY.) CORN E.Xuti /INGE. Although the supply of English wheat on offer in to-day's market was very limited, the demand for all descriptions was in a sluggish state, at Mon lay's prices. We were well suppli d with foreign wheat. Good heavy qualities sold at full quotations ; but other kinds moved off slowly, at barely late rates. Very few floating cargoes were on sale. Barley, the supply of which was moderate, sold heavily, at last week's quotations. In malt very few few transactions took place. There was a slight improvement in the demand for oats, at full quotations. Beans, peas, and flour changed hands at former terms The imports of the latter are good. ARRIVALS THIS WEEK. Barley.
