She also takes out supernumeraries for the station. (From, Use constitutionnel.) " Master of the field of battle of the Alma, Marshal • de St. Arnaud, after having given the necessary orders , I to pursue the enemy, and to make the victory bear its fruit, returned to the tent of Prince Menschikeff, a glo , rious trophy of .our arms, and wrote as follows to the Minister of War 'My health is still the same :it holds up in the midst of suffering, crises, and the per formance of my duty.. All this does not prevent the from remaining on horseback twelve hours on battle days. But will not my strength give way atlasl, V • The presentiment which dictated these lines was destined to be realised. Marshal de St. Arnaud has not survived his victory. For the last year the life of the Marshal was only onejof long-suffering, nevertheless he could not make up Ins mind to repose when the era of combats was recommencing for France. - Ire hah clanned afi' a privilege the command of the first army -that should carry the eagles on 'a Europ-an field of battle. Every one said that be would leave his life there ; he only knew , that he-would gain glory, and he wacinexorable-in his resolution. The passage from Varna to Eupatoria had brought back the malady with which the Marshal was afflieted, and he had been a prey for ttvo days to dreadful suffering when he got on horse back to attack the enemy. For twelve hours he Could not be persuaded to take a moment's rest ; he several times rode along the whole line of battle,- which, was nearly five miles in l eng th , never ceas i ng to give his orders, and concealing from all, at the price of incredible efforts, his struggle against his malady. At length, when the pain became too severe, when his exhausted force was on . the • point of bet r ayi ng hi m, h e got hi mse lf held up on horseback by two horsemen. It was thps that the Marshal lavished his life on the battle-field on which he added, so-noble- a page to our military' history. And in consequence, our soldiers, whose noble hearts know how to appreciate all kinds of heroism, did not spare their marks of respect to the leader who showed himself so worthy to command them. FOr two days ' after the battle he still exercised his functions,' and every time he left his tent, walking only by a miracle of de-, termination, ardent and unanimous acclamations greeted him everywhere on his passage. They only, however, who lived on terms of intimacy with Marshal St. 'Ar naud knew what an internal struggle he had to sustain ; they wondered at that victory of every moment over nature, and were terrified at. it. Human strength has a limit, and the. Marshal had reached it. He Suc cumbed in a few hours, and the soldiers only knew that he had ceased to command, when they learned that he had ceased to live. That is certainly a noble death, immedi ately after a victory, and immediately after a great Service rendered to France and to Europe. Three great nations will unite in the same sentiment of regret and achnira• tion to honour the conquerer of the Alma. But France in whose service the Marshal has worn out his life, owes it to herself to eternise his memory by some imperishable mark' Of respect. In giving an account of the Alma be had forgotten only himself; his country will not forget him." • The Valorous was put out of the fitting basin at Sheer ness yesterday. An order • arrived on Sunday counter manding that for her taking Artillery to the Black Sea, their services not now being required. She is to pro ceed with all possible despatch for the Black Sea, calling, at Malta. She is to be placed under the orders of Ad miral Dundas on her arrival. The Oberon, 3, iron paddle-wheel steam-vessel, was undocked at Portsmouth yesterday, after a thorough re pair, and is now completing refit ready for re-commis- Eden. The Holyrood transport was detained at Woolwich yerterday in consequence of her bowsprit being injured by contact with another vessel while coming down from Deptford. The authorities availed themselves of the delay to send another bag of letters for the Baltic. on board at Woolwich, and she. was to leave in the after noon for her destination. The John Shepherd and Blundell hired transports have left the Downs with reinforcements and stores for the Black Sea.

NgWCASTLE-ON-TYNE-,MozmAr AFTERNOON. (From the Par.) " All France will painfully 'feel the loss which our valiant army has just sustained. Marshal Saint Arnaud was attacked with a dangerous malady when he accepted the laborious functions of General in-Chief of the expedition in the East. But neither the perils to which he exposed himself nor family considerations could weaken his courage , and his admirable devotedness. He made the sacrifice of his life to the glory of our flag, the honour of the French name, and the cause of right and civilisa tion, and he accomplished it to the end with the noble bravery which distinguishes heroic hearts ! His last re port caused this sad event to be almost expected. We see froth it that the strength of the illustrious general.was becoming.exhausted, and that it would soon betray his moral energy ! Marshal Saint Arnaud died as a great captain should die—hearing the cannon announce to the attentive world the victory of our armies, due to the ability of their general-in-chief, the} humiliation of our. enemies, and perhaps the' first 'attacks on the for tresses of Sebastopol ! His death is a noble and glorious one The grateful country will know hot., to, honour it,• and to make the souvenir of it eter nal ! Before dying Marshal Saint Arnaud caused us to take a glorious vengeance on Russia ; he saw our victorious eagles strike to the heart the power' Of the Czar ;. his name, already illustrious by many warlike exploits, will pass to posterity indissolubly united to he fall of Russian authority in the Crimea. The chivairbus devotedness of Marshal Saint Arnaud to France and the Emperor is one of the great examples which inspire imitators. Our army which weeps its chief will know how to avenge hint by marching with • new ardour to victory, guided by generals in whom it trusts, and whose high qualities aro equal to their lofticourage. (From the Journal des Debats.) Marshal Saint Arnaud was only 53 years of age. During several years he was in the severe campaigns of Africa, and always made himself remarkable by his bravery and talents. His name is cited in almost all the combats of the long and arduous war in that country. Commander•in-Chief of the army of the East, he there displayed very remarkable talents and activity, notwithstanding the bad state of his health, which had long been extremely delicate. At Varna, he was attacked with malignant fever, and on two subse quent occasions with cholera. In the Crimea he heroi cally dominated his malady, in order to fulfil his high mission of General-in-Chief. The sentiment of military honour and the love of glory seem alone to have been able to maintain bis moral energy under the physical sufferings he endured, and he commanded in the battle of Alma, saying that a Marshal of France ought to know how to die on horseback. The workmen have commenced again this morning, but up to noon had discovered no more bodies. Yester day an immense number of people from the surrounding countryside flocked into the town, crowding every part whence a prospect of the scene of the disaster could be viewed, but fortunately, by the excellent arrangement of the military—cavalry and infantry—who formed a cordon round the whole of the district, erecting barricades and placing sentries at every entrance leading to where the fire occurred, not the slightest accident happened. The military have turned the Guildhall in Newcastle, the police station, and other buildings into temporary guard houses, and are of the greatest service to the authorities of the town, who are thus enabled to direct their atten tion to the total extinction of the fire, and the recovery of those still missing. The Siecle, in a summary of the account of the battle of the Alma notices as follows the oonduct of the English : "Below there, on the left, are the English, now our firm allies. Their general had to imitate the move ment of the Bosquet division, but the ground did not allow it, as the Russian cavalry could deploy there, and Lord Raglan, in place of turning the enemy, was in danger of being turned himself. He came on methodi cally and steadily, knowing well that he should repair afterwards any delay by th vigour and promptitude of his resolutions. In fact, although anxious, like a true Englishman, to spare the blood of his soldiers, he did not hesitate to attack in front the formidable positions of the Russians. The struggle was a desperate one, and blood flowed freely, but the tenacity of the Anglo-Nor man race did not fail an instant. The positions were carried, and victory with her two hands bestows equal crowns over the soldiers of France and of England.' I~t-- . . ~ .. • . ' . ' • -• ' i . .. „s.

The 'Earl of Listowel's son, Lord Ennismore, of the Fusilier Guark is reported as wounded severely, and the earl's brother, Capt. the Hon. C. Hare, of the 7th Fusiliers, has met with a similar casualty. Capt. the Hon. Wm: Montk; also- of the Fusiliers (brother of . Viscount Monck, M.P. for Portsmouth), who was killed t the head of his company, was a great favourite in the 7th, and will be deeply regretted. Lieut. the Hon C.

He was page of honour to her Ma jesty before his entrance into the army about a year ago. In the23d Fusiliers; Captain Arthur William Wynn, who lost his life in the conflict, was cousin of Sir \Vat kyn Williams Wynn, Bart., M.P., and son of the lite • Ilon. C. W.

Qneen. of Scots, as her Chamberlain, on her return from France to Scotland, in• 1561.. He was just 21 years of • age; bad been about four years in the service, and was cri*ried only a few weeks before. his .embarkatiOn fur the seat Ofwar. • Lord Chewtoon is wounded. He is the eldest on of the Earl of Waldegrave, and is a captain in the Scots Fusilier 'Guards. Lieutenant the Hon. H. Annesley, of the same regiment, is a younger brother of Lord Annesley. Ceptaii Horace Cunt, of the Coldstream Guards, is the only officer of ,the household 'Brigade who fell. He was a cousin of the young Earl Brown-- low. Amongst'the wounded is' the Earl of Errol, who is, in virtue of his office of high constable, the first subject in Scotland after the blood royal. Two members of Par liament had narrow escapes—Sir De Lacy Evans having received a severe contusion in the right shoulder, and Col. the HOn. Percy Egerton Herbert one in the back of the neck. The former gallant officer, 11,9 is well known, represents Westminster; the latter, Ludlow. The worst is over now, it is hoped, and the police, military, and firemen are seeking a little rest after three nights' arduous toil and danger. The immense mass of burning ruins in Gateshead continued to smoulder dur ing the whole of Saturday night and yesterday, and called for the most watchful attention from the authori ties, who kept pouring copious volumes of water upon them from the river engines. Yesterday afternoon, the wind having changed, blowing the mass of sulphurous smoke from Gateshead towards the river, a large gang of labourers were employed to remove the heap of ruh bish which choked up the east and west end of Hillgate, under which it was thought the bodies of several of the unfortunate persons that are missing were covered up. At the far or east end rio bodies had last night been found, but at the end next the bridge the excavators ex perienced a melancholy success. In the course of the day the bodies of the following were discovered:— Mr. Alexander Dobson, jun., architect, of Newcastle upon-Tyne, son of Mr. John Dobson, architect. Mr. Thomas Sharp, 13, Summerhill-terrace, New castle, aged 27. Mr. Martin Hall, fireman, Gallowgate, Newcastle, aged 52. Mr. Moseley, shackle maker, Oakwellgate, aged 27. Two more bodies bad been partially uncovered last nighb, when the workmen were driven back by the sulphurous vapour, and further operations were deferred till the morning. The whole of the above bodies were found within half a dozen yards of each other, Mr. r Mosely being found fiit, Mr. Dobson second, Mr. Sharp third, and Mr. Hall last, and removed to the Gateshead Police-station, whence the whole of them, with the exception of that of Mr. Hall, had been re moved last night. Mr. Moseley was the least injured, and, save a blow received on the right side of the head, might have been taken to have died from hav ing been buried in the ruins. The other three bodies, which had been fearfully burnt, were altogether un distinguishable by appearance. Mr. Dobson must have remained unidentified but for a bunch of keys in his pocket, and from a little portion of his dress having been preserved between the inner bend of the knee joint. Mr. Sharp, a gentlemen of independent cir cumstances, was identified by his watch dangling down, which corresponded with the description left by his friends, and by the clothes upon his bosom having been thick, so that traces of his red braces and the bosom of his fancy shirt were recognised beneath ; in other respects his body could not be known for the remains of a huthan being, save by a skull being attached to it, there being neither features, legs, nor arms to be seen, and the trunk being a shape less mass. The body of Hall, as had also been that of Mr. Dobson, was almost equally undistinguishable. He was one of• the missing firemen of the North British Brigade, and was identified by his son, who had pre viously been dug out near the same place, shortly after the explosion, alive, by the remains of his thick fireman's clothing. The remaining descriptions of persons missing left at the Gateshead Police-court, are those only of a young man and a young woman named Wigham ; but it is not unlikely that a dozen or a score of families may yet be found, unknown, with nobody left to inquire after them. A _ )L [pgicE SD. THE REGISTRATIONS. WEST SURREY. A. Ryland, Esq.,.the Revising Barrister, concluded the revision at the Swan Inn, Chertsey,' on Tuesday last. Mr. G. E. Dennis, and Mr. J.

Mr. Hallett was next examined, and stated that he hell two pieces of land of the same size and frontage,• one let-at 3/. a year and the other for 31. 10s. Mr. John Billing, architect and surveyor, stated that h e h a d gone over the estate at Dent Town,; East Moulsey, which was laid out for building purposes, and he'considered that each plat was worth at least is. 6d. per foot frontege. The roads were made, and there were 23 ;wines on the estate. Mr. Wallier, a surveyor, residing at Hampton near the estate, proved that property let well ii ne.ighbourlmod ; and that, taking all parts of the e lie considered that every plot was worth at least . . per foot for building purposes. Mr. Roberts, surveyor,iwas next examined, and be con sidered that plots varied in value from is. 6d. to 2fs. 6d. per foot for building purposes. In reply to the above evidence, Mr. Bartrop called a gardener, living at Kingston, and Mr. Willis, living at West Moulsey, who gave evidence as to agricultural value only. Mr. Bartrop submitted that unless the property realised 40s. per annum, the parties could not be en titled to be registered. Mr. Dennes submitted that he bad established a clear ease of value as to every plot on the estate, not only by :the evidence of parties who are realising the amount, but by the evidence of competent surveyors. He then referred the Barrister to the 10th Henry VI., chap. 2, which enacts that the knights of all counties within the said realm to be chosen to come to Parliaments hereafter to be holden, shall be chosen in every county whereof every man shall have freehold to the value of 40s. by the year, at the least, above all charges. The Barrister—l shall not go beyond the statute, because I have had too much experience of the opinion of sur veyors to consider that they are at all applicable to such a question as this. It is not sufficient for you to call a tract of land building land ; on the other hand, you must not look at it merely for agricultural purposes. I think unless it has been let for 405., as it has been in this case, it will not do. It is not enough that a man hopes some day or other that be shall be able to let his land fer building purposes, and get 40s. or 50s. for it. Ido not think that is enough. That is why leaked one or two of the witnesses as to the present value of the land ; all the rest is mere opinion ; it is all speculative. If you can distinguish them as yielding 40s. a year, that will do. Mr Dennes—Can I give better evidence of value than the evidence of competent surveyors ? The Barrister—These properties are not ripe for the vote. I will not argue the matter with you. This is not the first time the point has arisen. • Mr. Bartrop—They should be able to expend the 40s. a i year out of the estate. The Barrister—ln Mr. Harsant's case I thinks he is entitled. Mr. Dennes—lf his plots are worth the value, the pieces adjoining are worth the same. The Barrister—Not at all ; because one piece lets for 3/. a-year, therefore a surveyor jumps at the conclusion that the rest will also. Several votes were then expunged from the register, in conformity with the above decision. This closed the revision, the Reformers having a ma jority of 180. ?Wick, h that (state, s. 6d. RALPH THE BU.RGL AR, AND HIS ESCAPE On Thursday the magistrates for the parts of Lindsey held a gaol sessions, in the Shire-hall, Lincoln. A report of the state of the prison was read by Mr. F. Burton, the clerk, in which the particulars of Ralph's escape were men tioned. After, getting out of his cell ho obtained a key, which had been inadvertently left in the cupboard in the warder's room, and by its aid was enabled to get from the corridor into the kitchen. S►nce his capture at Notting ham, he has confessed to such circumstances as leave no doubt that his escape was effected by his own ingenuity and daring, and that the conjectures respecting any com plicity are wholly erroneous. He states that on leaving the castle walls he went to a friend's house at Lincoln, where he manufactured a key to take off his irons. He also says that he entered the house of a clergyman be tween Lincoln and Nottingham, and left the house with out disturbing any of the inmates, or taking any article. A. warrant was received from the Secretary of State on Tuesday, ordering Ralph to be transferred from Lincoln Castle to the Borough gaol at Leeds, part of which is used as a convict prison. This was taken by Mr. F. Burton to Nottingham on Friday, and delivered to Su perintendent Mason, of the City Police, who conveyed him to Leeds, safely deposited him in the custody of the gaoler there, and then telegraphed the fact to Lincoln. On Friday a Government inspector went over the castle. Captain Nicholson, the governor, it is said, was not absent from the gaol at the time of Ralph's escape, as was erroneously stated. It is very difficult to obtain any account of the pro ceedings before the county magistrates, but it is under. stood that the governor and the officials generally are ex mierated from blame. It is remarkable that within a few years no less than six prisoners have broken out of this gaol, four of them together in the open day, two of whom escaped and two were taken. The fifth was a debtor mimed Holland, and the sixth Ralph, who has twice effected the most remarkable and daring escape on record. DEPARTURES rnoxt THE PORT OF LONDON.—The departures from the port of London for the Australian colonies during the week have comprised altogether 10 vessels—five to Port Philip, with an aggregate burden of 3,378 tons ; two to Sydney, with an aggregate burden of 2,121 tons ; one to Portland Bay, of 536 tons ; one to Adelaide, of 472 tons ; and one to Launceston, of 342 tons. Their total capacity was consequently 6,849 tons. The rates of freight exhibit considerable heavi- ness. '-$i EVANGELICAL ALLIANCE ASSOCIATION.—Last evening the eighth annual conference of this association was held at the Freeinasons'-hall, Great Queen-street, Mr. John Cerderoy in the chair. The association was described to be in a prosperous condition. Addresses were deli-• vered by the Revs. J. Glanville, J. H. Rule, J. Whitty, W. Brock, and Mr. Racine Brand, secretary of the French branch of the Alliance, and the doxology having been sung, the proceedings terminated. ALLEGED ATROCIOUS MURDER OF A WOMAN IN WEST., MINSTER.—Last evening a long inquiry was held before Mr. C. Bedford, the coroner for Westminster, at the. Prince of Orange Tavern, Brewer's green, Victoria-road,' relative to the death of Mary Ann Lever, aged 35 years, an unfortunate woman, whom it was alleged had met her death from the effects of brutal violence inflicted upon her person a few days back, at a house in Orchard-: street. The inquest was adjourned to a future day. I QUARREL ABOUT A PEW.—The Wakefield Jour2ial con tains a report of an assault case, heard before the Barns ley magistrates, arising out of a dispute about a pew in' Silk-street Church. One party got inside the pew and, held the door fast ; the other claimant forced Lie way in, but was seized by the collar and ejected by the other, and his hat thrown after him. And all this was done during the communion service. MEDICAL HOUSN-TO-HOUSE VISITATION.—A letter to the Secretary of State from Dr. H. Gavin, M.D., medical superintending inspector, General Board of Health, has just been published. It brings under Lord Palmerston's consideration a number of tables illustrat ing the results of the medical house-to-house visitation as carried on in the towns of Newcastle, Dundee, and Glasgow, from which it appears that for every 26.6 per sons affected with choleraic disease in its first stage, who are aware of their danger, and apply for advice, there are 73.4 persons who do not know their danger, and are sought out and placed under proper treatment. That for every 75 persons who, alarmed by the symptoms of the second stage, apply for assistance, there are 25 who otillne glect this state of extreme danger, and who are sought out and placed under proper treatment. That for every 77 . 4 persons who have wholly neglected their condition until the third stage is fully developed, there are still 22.5 who, but for this system of visitation, would be left to perish. That by this system malice' aid is almost cer tain to be brought to every individual affected with the disease. At Newcastle 38 persons died without medical aid. 31 of these died before the vjsitation as; com menced. Of the remaining 7.3 were discovered. Of the 30 corpses discovered by the visitors in Newcastle, Dundee, and Glasgow, nearly all were discovered at the comme n cement of the respective visitations. by this syst e m the prolsabilities of death to in thosTeat- tacked by the disease are diminished from 200 athou sand to 3 per thousand. * for prisons, hospe AN EDUCATIONAL MusEuir.—As sch ools increase in. number and efficiency, the necessity tale, and workhouses will become less, This is surely worth thinking about.

Every one will observe bow E. MOSES and SON have succeeded in their magnificent plans for Autumn and Winter, the novelties they hive secured, the splendid styles of Attire they have invented, the Eaperiority in the materials and workmanship of their seasonable Dress, the correctness and despatch with which they attend to all orders, and the application 01 their provisions to all classes, are victories only achieved by the bravest sons of trade. The strong forces of Overcoats prepared for Autumn and Winter by E. MOSES and SON will resist all the storms which may battle with the traveller or street passenger. The Light Artillery of their Paletots will stand the tug of Autumn with the most victorious resistance—the new one they have invented and which they will sell for 258., is an union of elegance, comfort, and economy, which is per ectly victorious over all previous intro ductions, and the vast sock of fancy goo As they have just received from FranCe, submitted to the operations of the most skilful and the best artists and workmen in the world, are the victories of elegance and fashion which every one will celebrate.

An official intimation has been issued, stating that the revenue accounts for the present and future quarters will be published in the new and improved form, and will give the public more complete information than that which has been contained in the statements hitherto published. " I. The account of the revenue has been hitherto con fined to Great Britain ; the revenue received in Ireland has never formed part of the accounts hitherto published ; the accounts have therefore been deficient by upwards of four millions of net annual revenue. The account to be published on the 11th O c t o b er for t h e quar ter ending - the 10th will be a complete account of the net revenue of the United Kingdom. Th e results o f fi sca l legislation will be better show n b y a complete than b y a part ia l statement of revenue collected. "2. The results of the comparison with the corres ponding . quarter and year ending on the 10th October, 1853, will be shown as heretofore ; but as the financial year, commencing in April, is the year of the budget, the year for which the public expenditure is voted, and the year of account, there will be added to this com parison, one showing the increase or decrease in the por tion of the financial year which shall have expired at the terminatio n o f each q'tiarterly account. " 3. The account of the income and charge of the Consolidated Fund has hitherto been a very partial and imp er f ect one ; instead of s h ow i ng the applica tion of the quarter's receipts from all sources, it has been limited to the receipts and charges of the Consolidated Fund in Great Britain, omitting the income and charges for Ireland, and suppress ing altogether those receipts which may have been ap propriated by Parliament to the payment of other pub lic services than thOse charged permanently on the Con solidated Fund. The account to be published on the 11th October, and in future quarters, will show not only the receipts derived from the ordinary revenue, from ire prest moneys, and from repayments, but will embrace all extraordinary receipts, whether derived from tem porary or permanent loans, Exchequer Bills, or any other moneys, applicable to the payment of public ser vices ; it will be a complete debtor and creditor state ment of all public moneys received in the quarter, and of the appropriation of the same." The following figures relating to the net revenue and other receipts of the quarter ended 10th October, 1854, have been issued. Surplus balance beyond the charge of the Consolidated Fund, for the quarter ended July 5, 1854 (Ireland), 166,555/.

Peek Brothers, a firm largely engaged in the tea trade, have addressed a letter to the Commissioners of Customs, with the concurrence of several other leading houses, stating an opinion that the arrangement pro posed with the view of preventing the risk so long com plained of from the payment of duties in coin and bank notes will prove too inconvenientfor use. From their prac tical knowledge there is little reason to suppose they can have adopted this impression erroneously, although it was hoped that the plan would have been found gene rally advantageous. The course they suggest as the one that would best meet the desired end is as follows : "It may again be (as it has already.several times been) asked, what plan, effectually protecting the revenue, would the merchants themselves suggest ? Half-a-dozen have already been named ; but, as far as possible, following my Lords' ideas, the simplest appears to be—to allow the mer chant himself to do what it is proposed to entrust to 9, Treasury clerk—viz., for him to pay his money, banker's cheque, or own cheque into the Bank Gf England, and be allowed himself to carry thence to the Custom-house their acknowledgment, as he now carries their notes. The ap prehended risk of forgery would be no greater in one case than the other ; but, if wished, from the great desire which has been shown by the Bank to do what they can to facilitate the adoption of tho merchants' wishes, there is great. reason to believe they would issue watered or chemically-prepared paper, so as to render alteration im possible ; indeed, at every oven hour, or oftener if thought desirable, the Treasury clerk might get from them direct a duplicate of the sums received, for comparison, which would then leave him ample time to stop all deliveries if any fraud should have been attempted. Such a plan would cause no delay, while all risk, both to • revenue and mer chant, would be obviated, and the amount of labour would be lessened." THE POSTAL SERVICE TO THE FLEETS.—In a letter from a sailor on board 11.M.S Modeste, dated Sept. 5, 1854, and published in the Leicester Mercury, the writer says :—" My dear Parents,—l have no doubt you will feel surprised when I tell you that I have just got your letter, which cost me ls. 10d. It is dated Dec. 11, 1853, So you see there must have been great neglect somewhere. I hope you will inquire why a person in the navy should have to pay for letters in that manner, and wait eight months for them. I have to tell you that there is a great outcry amongst the seamen about their letters—one man paid Cs. 10d. for a letter nine months old." [ADVERTISEMENT.I—By her Majesty's Royal Letters Patent for valuable and extraordinary improvements in the most power ful and brilliant Telescopes, Camp, Race-course, Opera, and Perspective Glasses(glazed with Munic German Glass), to know thB distances of objects viewed through them—of great im portance to the army, navy, and others.

Sir G, Pechell, R.N., M.P. for Brighton, visited Woolwich Dockyard yesterday to inspect the Snake, screw steam-despatch gun-boat, Lieut.-Commander M'Killop, now nearly ready for sea ; and the Pelter, - light draught of water screw steam-gun-boat, also in an advanced state, having her 2 guns of 65 cwt. each mounted on traversing platforms amidships. Every naval: officer who has inspected the Pelter expre..ses great, admiration of her construction and evident capabilities for the services for which her class fire in tended. THE SCREW BLOCK-SHIPS. The ships ; of-war ordered to bo fitted with screw pro- pellers, for the purpose of making them available as guard-ships at the various ports, such as those on the Tyne and the Clyde, are to have engines of compara tively small no:ninal power, or from 150 to 200 .horse power, which will be amply sufficient to enable them to protect the mouths of the large rivers in Great Britain and Ireland. Every preparation is now being made to meet any emergency which may occur in the next spring. A TRIFLE FOR THE EAST. One of the finest howitzers ever cast, weighing • 125 cwt., or 6 tons and one quarter of a ton, is now in pro gress of being mounted at the Royal Arsenal on a Solid bed for service on board's war steamer,. where front its appearance it will be fitted in the same manner as bombs are. The howitzer has a bore of ten, inches, and an elevation which will give it a very long range. Howitzerii of the above-powerful nature, if stationed on floating batteries with attendant steamers, or fitted with steam means of propulsion, would soon destroy the strongest fortifications they might be brought against, the spheri cal solid shot fired from that description of ordnance being upwards of 100 lbs. weight. WARM QLOTHING FOR THE TROOPS IN THE CRIMEA. Upwarjs of 700 tons of fleecy hosiery, consisting of under-waistcoats, drawers, &c., have been shipped on board the screw steamer Prince, for conveyance to the troops in , the Crimea. A. complete telegraphic appara tus, with several hundred miles of wire, to be laid down in the Crimea, and also several sets of diving apparatus, to remove under water obstructions, will be taken out by the Prince. THE RUSSIAN PRIZES AND PRISONERS. Yesterday the Russian vessel Bognaja Nadischa, prize to H.M. steamer Miranda, arrived in the river from the White Sea, and was taken into the West India Docks, to be condemned in due course by the Court of Admi ralty and sold for the benefit of her captors. The de crees for the sale of the under-mentioned vessels have been issued by the Court of Admiralty—viz., the Fama and Froya, prizes to H.M. revenue cutter Argus ; the Abo and Fidentia, prizes to her Majesty's screw frigate Tribune ; and the Auguste, prize to the ffeela and Arrogant. Yesterday her Majesty's ship Belleisle arrived in the Downs from the Baltic. The total number of Russian prisoners now at Millbay is 800. It is proposed that those among them who may be desirous shall be allowed to emigrate to Australia. THE ARCTIC EXPEDITION. The North Star and Talbot were taken into the fitting basin at Sheerness yesterday, preparatory to their being paid oft. The North Star has brought home the follow ing officers, who went out from England in her :—Com mander William J. S. Pullen : Mr. Thomas C. Pullen, master : Mr. William Shellabeer, second master : and Mr. William Elliott, clerk in charge. The following supernumeraries are brought home by her, and sent on board the flag-ship Waterloo :—Commander S. Osborne, late of the Pioneer ; Commander Haswell, late of the Investigator ; also Mr. Court, master ; Drs. Armstrong and Piers ; Mr. Payne, Paymaster ; and Mr. Miert aching, interpreter of the Esquimaux language ; Lieuts. Pim and Roach, of the Resolute ; also Mr. M‘Dugall, Mr. Crabbe, masters ; and Mr. Scott, assistant-surgeon, The North Star left England on the 21st of April, 1852. Her officers and crew have suffered the priva tions of two winters' of three months each total dark ness, with the thermometer 56 degrees below zero, or 83 degrees below the freezing point. They have been with out a single human being to associate with, except their own little company, for a period of two years and a-half. During the whole period the officers and crew have ceased to use the razor, merely scissor-cutting and trim ming their faces and heads, and there his not been one, solitary case of ulcerated or sore throat among them. Until within a week the razor was only known by name in the ship, and, strange to say, immediately their faces lost their warm clothing several found that the cold took effect on their throats. Not a single man or officer has been lost from sickness. The duties of the clerk-in-charge of this ship have been most onerous, he having had to be up at all hours supplying travelling parties with pro visions who have on many occasions, with their sledges and dogs, travelled 60 miles a-day. A few rare speci mens of birds and eggs have been preserved and brought home. She brought home the crews of the Investigator and the Phoenix, and the crows of the Resolute and Enterprize. The Talbot, Commander Robert Jenkins, has brought home all the officers and crew who went out with him. The following supernumeraries were taken on board at Beechey Island :—Commander Richards, late of the Assistance ; Lieut. May, ditto ; Lieut. Cheyne, ditto ; Mr. Allard, late master of the Pioneer ; Mr. Herbert, mate of the Assistance ; and Mr. Ppm, mate of ditto ; Mr. Richards, assistant-surgeon of the Assistance ; Mr. Toms, assistant-surgeon of the Pioneer, and Mr. Kerr, carpenter of the Assistance ; also 51 men, the crews of the Pioneer and Assistance. Colonel Jones, Royal Engineers, after reporting him self at the Royal Engineer Department at Pall-mall, on his return from the Baltic, visited Woolwich on Satur day. Major Ord, Royal Engineers, who accompanied the gallant late Brigadier-General to the Baltic, has also arrived at Chatham, THE MILITIA. The Essex Rifle Militia, now in garrison at Canter bury, have received orders to relieve the 46th Foot, at Windsor. The Essex Rifles have been out for target practice for some days, and the men are becoming effi cient marksmen. The Middlesex Rifle Militia, Colonel Viscount Enfield, are now out training at Barnet, and are rapidly acquir ing proficiency. The men have a smart, soldier-like ap pearance, and reflect considerable credit on their in structors. The Northumberland Militia Artillery are under or ders to muster at Newcastle. The clothing and accou trements have been forwarded from the Tower to head quarters. THE DUAZILIAN MAILS.—SOLITHAMpToN, Monday. —The Royal Mail Company's steam-ship Great West ern, Captain T. A.

Tke character chosen Was ilittdbetil - Irnmediatelj , the'opening of 'the dOor4'iliere rush . that forcibly reminded us of time pait—the time of -Kean, liemble, and Younge. The theatre was filled 'immediately, and even the most out-of-the-wa3., corneritof the house, where a glimpse of the stage conid be obtained, were eagerly sought after. Of the performance itself we can only say that which all London know, therefore we content ourselves by saying it was magnificent. At th e c l ose , M r . B roo k e ,a w h o h a d been vociferously called, came forward and addressed the audience nearly as follows : • , - - ',l " Ladies and Gentlemen; -It -is -lab* forrtien months since my first appearance in this theatre, on .my return from the United States, and since that timej have given 375 impersonations at different towns throughout Great Britain and Ireland.

Perhaps I might be excused for saying this much, but on the eve of my de parture for a far distant land, and when it may be years before I again have tae pleasure of appearing before you, I cannot refrain from giving utterance to my feelings." Mr.: Brooke then In a very feeling manner bade the audience 'farewell, and, bay; ug returned thanks, , retired. During the deli Very of his short address Mr. Brooke evi dently laboured under the createst emotion, and at times he beoattie so 'overpo wered t y hTs feeliugs'as to be scarcely able to proceed. HAYMARKET. The spirited lessee of the little theatre in the Hay market -seems determined to keep up an uninterrupted stream of_ attraction for his patrons. The.-Spanish Dancers having concluded a most successful engagement both fox; themselves and the management, novelty, even during that engagement, was sought after, and found in the person of Mr. Hudson. Last even ing again gave evidence of the determination of the lessee. Mr. Wright, the great Adelphi favourite, made 'his bow as Paul Pry. It is needless to say his recep• tion was of the most cordial description. A Miss Schott made a most promising debut as Marion. PRINCESS'S THEATRE. This theatre opened for the season 'Tad night with a new drama in three acts, by Mr. Douglas Jerrold, called " A lleart of Gold." Au original play by so emi nent an author is an occurrence of no common interest ; the house, consequently, was crowded, and the piece met with a reception which showed that the audience did not feel themselves disappointed. The plot of the piece is simple. The heroine, Maude Nutbrown, is a country girl, the daughter of a substan tial farmer. She and a young man named Pierce are lovers, but her father has refused his consent to their union because the lover is poor. Maude has another lover—John Dymond, a country gentleman superior to her in station, but so deeply attached to her that he is reduced by her coldness to the verge of the grave. When the piece opens, the young girl and her father are on a visit to London and staying at an inn. Both her lovers are also there ; Dymond having followed her, prompted, it would appear, only by despair. The two lovers are iriends ; Dymond having an affection for his younger rival as being the son of a friend of his father. Worn out by the agonies of his passion, Dymond sinks into a state of exhaustion : believing himself dying, he sends for his young friend, and before the people of the house assembled for the purpose, bestows upon him a box containing a thousand guineas, desiring them to bear witness that it is his free gift,: and he couples the gift with a lecture to the young man upon the all-powerful nature ofgold, describingit as the most valuable of earthly pcFsessions, and counselling him, under every circum stance, to hold it fast. Having made this donation in a way hich makes it very like the ill-omened gift of some malignant fairy in a nursery tale, Dymond, to all ap pearance, expires upon the stage. But it is not so. In the next act we find him alive. He has recovered from a long illness, and is at an inn near his residence in the country. Meanwhile Pierce's possession of the thousand guineas has removed old Nutbrown's objections to him as a son-in-law. The marriage is fixed ; and the bells are actually ringing for church when Dymond, like one returned from the dead, stands among them. • The true-hearted Maude, who, if she could not love him, has always regarded him with friendship and pity, is transported with joy ; but Pierce stands like a statue, gloomy and silent. An eclaircissement takes place : Pierce, called upon to return the money which Dymond had given him as a dying man, doggedly refuses to do so in spite of Maude's tears and supplications. Indig nant at this display of his sordid nature, Maude ex claims she would not marry him if he were a king, and, in the enthusiasm of the moment, gives her hand to his rival. So ends the second act. Dymond is now happy, his union with Maude being about to take place. But she has deceived herself as to the state of her heart : she loves Pierce as much as ever, and is wretched, while he, repenting of his previous conduct, resolves to return the money which lies so heavily on his mind. He does so ; bitterly reproaching Dymond for having entrapped him by a temptation which has proved his ruin. Maude, who overhears the conversation, rushes into her lover's arms ; and their union forms the denouement of the piece. Miss Heath, as Maude, sustained the part with great effect ; indeed, she made it he part of the play. Miss Murray, as the maid servant, acquitted herself with her usual ability. This young lady is a good actress, and would be a better if she would rely upon her own con ception of a part, without imitating, as was palpably the case last evening, Mts. Keeley. The other parts in the piece were all creditably supported. The play was decidedly successful, and was given out for repetition every evening amid the applause of a house crowded to the ceiling. OLYMPIC. Yesterday evening this theatre was opened for the winter season. - There were no novelties in the way of dramas produced, but the comedietta of a Maid in the Dark was revived for the fir..t appearance of Miss Fitz patrick. That young lady was very warmly welcomed, and will prove an acquisition to the company. The meeting between the audience and the old favourites of the theatre was cordial and pleasant ; Mr. F. Robison had an enthusiastic reception. The singing of the Na tional Anthem introduced Miss Julia St. George and Miss E. Orrnonde, who are also additions to the former corps. The dramas of Bus 7 l Money and Perfect Confi dence were played with a freshness and spirit which were appreciated by the audience, who seemed as much de lighted as if they had never seen them before. There was a good house, and everything went capitally. The opening night was decidedly auspicious. SURREY; The dramatic season at this theatre commenced last night with a new piece called Tlic Avalanche, written by Mr. A. Harris. It is evidently of French origin ; the scenery is laid in France and Piedmont, and the princi pal character is a soldier of the first French empire. Francois Marcel (Mr. Creswick), a mountain guide, has a wife (Gertrude), who is the heiress of a large fortune. This is known to Luidgi, Count Vincengo (air.Verner), who wishes to turn his knowledge to his own account, and for that purpose employs an assassin to dispose of Marcel. The assassin, however, by mistake, kills General Duclos, whom Marcel was guiding (ver the mountains ; and Marcel is covered by an avalanche, but he and a shepherd previously discover the assassin, dying, and who confesses who was the instigator of the murder. Between the first and second acts an inter val of eighteen years is supposed to have elapsed. Gertrude is married to Count Vincengo, who wishes to procure the marriage of Genevieve, Marcel's daughter, to a creature of his own, in order to prevent his being called to account for her fortune, the greater portion of which be has spent. This marring, how ever, both mother and daughter strenuously resist, and favour a proposed union with Col. Duclos, the son of the murdered general. The Count, rendered desperate by the state of his affairs, by the help of Flashenhausen, a German Jew (Mr. Voltaire), determines to dispose Of Genevieve. At this time Marcel, who, when he escape froua the avalanche had. become a soldier, had boom:lei cabman in Paris ; and Vincengo and the Jew waylay Genevieve and throw her into the Seine, and by one of those coincidences which happen only on the Aar, Marcel had at that moment gone to the river to fetch water for his horse. He saves Genevieve, but does not know that she is his daughter, he having lost sight of his wife and daughter ever since 'the falling of the ava. lanche, and not knowing where they win*? living. The Andertonpa personated Gertrude with a go od deal of p ower and discretion. of Ma rce l w relationship is subsequently iiisoovered, incengo's rascality defeated, and Genevieve of course m arr i es Colonel Duclos. The intere st of the p iece is well kept up to the close, and giv es rise to some i nteresting sit it u h at e i x on ce s nen MtriaBte7and Creswick 3 a i c is t s ed the 'They, as well as Mr. Voltaire and Mr. H. Widdicomb (who personated Pierre, a shepherd), Were called before the curtain, as was also tho author, and amid applause !the piece was announced for repetition till further notice.
