BAROSIETER. 29 82, WIND, S.W.—Light, pleasant breeze, and cloudy at LONDON, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 14, 1854. Silistria still holds out gallantly—but its brave defender, Mussa. PACIIA, 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 13tla 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 E'yiitian contingent. Is this creditable, we ask again and yet again, is this cre ditable 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 Siuthampton 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 OMER PACHA. and his gallant followers— is this circumstance calculated to inspirit the brave fellows bithertO 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 inquiries —although at the risk of being sneered at as scorned as i impatient, of b e i ng gnorant, of bein g derided as impor tunate. The intelligence received of the gloriou s b u t deplorable death of Mu ss , Pd by a cannon-ball while conductin g 11, e defence of S ilistria, ur g es us once more ll sustained our voice at thes e unaccounta ble , and 1° r aise arnentabl e , and we had almost said disgraceful delays, and to do so now more than ever in mingled t ones of reproach and lamentation. It is to be hoped that the ministerial super visionat length placed under of the war being the care of a distinct department of the Admini stration, greater promptitude, resolution, and 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 bia Chace the Duke of NEWCASTLE havi n g relieved ili-rn3elf from a heavy charge by consenting to the separation of the heretofore Siamese departments of War and the lc o oni • es—he • has actually in fio doing, in r es • • 'gulag the Colonies to the admi nistrative abilities of Sir GEORGE GREY, and in reserving the post of peril and honour to him i3elf, considerably, and, we c anno t b u t thi n k, ob viously increased his already weighty responsi- .- • ties while the offices were united • ,'0.141005 1 there might ))een some eXCUBe.

These would be all grounds for a more stringent and searching exa mination, and, perhaps, for limiting the pototr cf 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 Inca slue maybe 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 BLACKPOOL; 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 pounds. 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 3 far enough to be effectual, and that, therefore, it is not calculated to remove the blot which has so long disfigured the national escutcheon. THE PENINSULAR MAIL. (BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPff.) SOUTHAMPTON, Wednesday, 10 a.m.—The Pe ninsular and Oriental steam-ship Iberia has ar rived with the Peninsular mails. Her dates are, Gibraltar, June 5, Cadiz 6, Lisbon 9, Vigo 11, and Oporto 10. She brings 53 passengers, 3,0001. specie, and a usual cargo of oranges, eggs, &e. Quarantine was discontinued at Vigo, Cadiz, and Gibraltar, but not at Lisbon. It was ru moured at Lisbon that if the King of Portugal re mained in England a month without cholera all ships would have free pratique. At Lisbon wheat had fallen considerably. Exchange on London, 90 days, 54g ; 30 days, 54i. Inscriptions, 36. On the 7th, four miles south of Cape St. Vincent, the Iberia exchanged colours with two French steamers (screw) steering south-east, with troops on board. MONEY MARKET 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, 100 Pernam and Maranham at 6d. to 6ad.; 100 Egyptian at 6d. to ; 300 Surat at 3d. to 4d., and 30 Sea Island at is. to Is. 2d. per lb. Railway Shares were steady. The Anglesea, 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 lingshire, from Launceston, is believed to be in the Channel. There are many items descriptive of the progress of the Colonies 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 of 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 1853 th ere was an increase of cent., compared with th e prev i ous e Banks o f N ew S outh Wales. n qu ea a r r l t y er, 4 as per regards 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 3,600,000/. In the Sydney journals it is stated that the pre liminary arrangement for opening the new settle ment at Port C ur ti s h ave b een 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 instructed to direct his best attention is the opening up of every available means of internal communication. He is to commence by constructing a road from the township of Gladstone to that of Gayndah, the most northerly of the present established post towns ; and which is distant from Brisbane 221 miles, from Mary borough (Wide Bay) 65 miles ; and from Gladstone (Port Curtis) about 100 miles. 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 th a t th us p os tal 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 sale s o f th e l an ds a lready survey e d in the town ship of Gladstone and county 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., p romise to be carried out with activity.' LATEST FOREIGN 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 consistent 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 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 like 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 17k, Hamburg 13 6 to 6i, and Trieste 13 20 to 24, the last named being firmer. Silver dollars are still in demand. Bar silver is at 58. 11d. There has been a very dull market again fo Public Securities, but the quotations are rather tending upwards. Consols have been 91 to 91k, and are now 911 #. The Reduced 3 per Cents. have been at 91k 1, and since at 91g g. Bank Stock is steady at 2u6. Exchequer Bills are at par to 4s. premium. TLe Exchequer Bonds Scrip is up to i- and I 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 994, and Dutch 4 per Cents. at 891 i. Vene zuela Stock is worth 241, and Equador 3L There have been no bargains in Spanish or Mexican. For Railway 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 11. 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. 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 I 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 threateninc , the destr uc ti on o f Ci vilisation—the punishment o f a blasphemous schism for its many heinous out rages upon the Divine glory and ineffable benefi cence of Christianity. The Poles saved Europe in a former age from an overwhelming 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 be 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 nations of the earth—among the nations to be preserved, and not to be dismembered —by the generous magnanimity and enlightenment of her Sultan ABD-UL-MEDJID, by the valour and constancy of her gallant troops, by the skill and heroism of their Commander OMER Pscse, 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 the well-being and happiness of thousands of her MAJEsTY's 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 Re 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 be invested with authority to pronounce a divorce a vinculo matrimonii, and also in sending cases going merely for one a men,sa et thoro to the Court of Chancery, where they may be brought to a hearing before any one of the seven Equity Judges. On the 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 au Ecclesiastical Judge. In other matters it only slightly varies from the suggestions of the Learned Commissioners. In one point there 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, like Lord REDESDALE, would insist on the indissolubility of the nuptial tie, the others would extend the remedy, and make a dissolution of the marriage contract open to, all who bad well founded grounds of complaint against their part ners, such as would prevent the possibility of a reunion. Some would only afford relief within 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 CRANWORTH, to steer a middle course between these conflicting opinions --to pro vide a more simple, easy, and cheaper remedy than 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 case, and to render relief impossible in ninety-nine instances out of one hundred where it might safely be granted, where, indeed, the aggrieved parties should be entitled to demand it ex debito justitice. Indeed, although unquestionably a step in the right direction, it is only valuable as the intro duction of the sharp end of the wedge, by means whereof more useful results may be anticipated at some future time. Under the New Bill, the divorce, a vinculo matrimonii, is in accordance with the recommenda tion of the Commissioners to be granted solely for adultery, and except in cases of extreme atrocity —such as bigamy or incest—on the application of the husband only. On the first point the ' problem is, indeed, one of great difficulty, in which the arguments on either side are so nicely balanced that it is hard to arrive at a satisfactory conclusion. That there may be cases of extreme cruelty and oppression such as would prevent the possibility of the in jured party again living with the aggressor, is certain. The law has not been accustomed to look on any injury short of adultery as bein g 0 irreparable. Nor has it, we regret to say, treated females at all fairly or equitably in matrimonial matters. The Divine precept that a man should not put away his wife and marry another, save for fornication only, has unquestionably great weight ; and if the separation frombed and board, with full protection to the injured party from any acts or demands on account of the other, could be cheaply obtained, it i s per h aps rule, that h owever going as f ar as ought to be sanctioned. B u t th e sha:l be given t o t great em the inj ur y no re li ef hefaleta appeals more ques tionable. Surely a woman a man. Surely whe n a ll her prospectsfeelings as well as I blasted—when her outraged affections forbid in life a re Iher resuming her former relationship the man who has violated his nupti a l vow — s h e should not be condemned to a solitary an d miser able existence. As it is, the rules adopted are one-sided, and, unfortunately, no . e li ff a Or ti t al is m aT a id de to render them more just and equi table. Granted that there may be greater reason that the man may not have for which alone t t h o:u sa spe me ct repiigna woman, and that its relief can be afforded as the . . collusion,D to the offence f t t uz :, consec i u enc v es would not fall so. heavily_ on GENERAL MAYERHOFER'S MISSION TO BERLIN. The Borsenhalle, of Hamburg, under date of Vienna, Bth, says :—" The mission of General Mayerhofer at Berlin i 9 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 case. 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, (iTc." THE AUSTRIAN ULTIMATUM. The 7 rieste 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 ueutraltown, and a new treaty would be concluded between Russia and the Porte, under the guarantee of the Great European Powers. We know not whether these particulars 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 Breslau Gazette, says :—" Count Buol Schauenstein left 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 Transylvania, they will go to Galicia, and particularly to Cracow. Great importance is ascribed to the arrival of General Boredeck, chief of the staff of the 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 Pri►ice 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 attache of the Russian legation at Vienna, leaves to-day for Munich and Carlsruhe on a private mission." REPORTED DEATH OF THE BRAVE COMMANDER AT SILISTRIA. The ost-deutsche Post of yesterday has the fol- Lowing : ____ Advices from Hermanstadt of the 13th state that Prince Paskiewitsch, though ill, leaves Kalarasch for Jassey. _ _ _ Mussy 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 Rutschuk, 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 suns, attended Captain Giffard.'s funeral. ARRIVAL OF TROOPS AT VARNA. VARNA, June 2.—Twenty-two vessels, supposed to have 4000 auxiliaries on board, have arrived, and will be lauded immediately. The sea is very stormy. Communication between Silistria and Schumla is interrupted by Cossacks. APPREHENSIONS OF THE RUSSIANS IN THE PRINCIPALITIES. A letter from Bucharest, of June 10, says last night the archives of the Chancery and Treasury were transported hence to Fokachau. DANGEROUS POSITION OF THE RUSSIANS IN GEORGIA. Private letters front 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 be seriously menaced by the Circassians and other independent tribes. CO NSTA NTINOPLE. JUNE 1.--On 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 an 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 Internuncio. His Excellency proposed the independence and integrity of the Ottoman Em pire, and declared that his Government was ready to uphold the principle 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 Internuncio 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 olcbck, 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 Kouleh 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. WALLACHIA. The following letter has just been received from the head-quarters of the army of Wallachia : " Head-Quarters of the Army of Wallachia, rova, June . " I feel deli g ht e d t o be K the aj 1 first (as I hope) to an nounce to you the news of a victory which we have gamed 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 fur my letter I must reserve my details for another ovcasion, 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, four regiments of cavalry, about 3,500 horses, and no cannim, while the Rus , ians bad four regular regiments, viz.—the Ist and 10th Hussars, the 9th Lancers, and the 2d Dragoons, six pieces of artillery, and 500 Cossacks. Owing to the admirable tactics of Ismael Pasha and Skender Beg, this force was soundly thrashed before 4 o'clock. The num bers:and res4lto, as given Qacially's are 1,000 Rusks. killed—almost all the Hussars, who suffered the most ; LOCO 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 fall of baggage ; 115 prisoners, land what, after 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, caisson; &c., au grand complet, all captured by an inferior force without guns, and brought by us in triumph to Kar..ikal. 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. 'he 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 114. 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 Ornar Pasha. The guns are in the square of the town, and will remain With our corps d'arinee during the whole of the campaign. The Turks have lost 100 killed 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 him from the General-in-Chief as his guest, and lie gives to him the most cordial and unbounded hospitality. The family of M. de Raymond is composed of hi: wife, also French, and three children. There are about 20 French residents at Krajova." THE BALTIC. ANOTHER SUCUESSFUL EXPEDITION. A letter from Copenhagen, dated yesterday, says it is reported that some English vessels, off Brah 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 merchant ships, and fired the wharf. Ten thousand barrels of tar, and property worth 300,000 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 sen, which was last month seized and carried into Farey Sound. This ship took in a cargo of wine and salt iu Spain, and was bound to Riga, or to Memel, if this harbour was blockaded. The bill of lading was to order, but the goods probably be longed to a Hamburg house. On reaching Copen hagen, the captain, ou May 13, repaired to the 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 he would meet. On arriving at Lyserort, at the entrance to Riga 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 midshidmau 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. THE FLEET BEFORE HELSINGFORS. The following are extracts from a letter written by an officer of high rank ih the Baltic fleet, dated from Barosund, some twenty miles from noising 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-carriage, and made splinters, which killed one man, and knocked another over. The wounds made by the Minis 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 a etion here. The Imperieuse looks in every night to Helsingfors, and reports the state of the ships in the harbuir in the morning. A story is current, that, under afl of truce, 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 perhapq you may hear of the results of the challenge in a naval tournament. "Tie idea of attacking the batteries of Heisingfors, Cronstadt, 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 Afoniteur publishes the following despatch from Vice-Admiral Hamelin, the Commander-in- Chief of the French fleet in the Black Sea : " Baltchick, Ville de Paris, May 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 forts and establishments in Circassia and Georgia, even those of Soukoum-Kalil and Redout- Kahs, which are, however, the victualling ports of their army in Asia, and so precious to the latter. These re ports have been officially 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 coast of Circassia. By a report received from the Commander of the Charlemagne, I can in form your Excellency that Anapa arid Sujack Bay are the only points retained by the Russians ; the gar risons of these places had even been increased, and pre sent an effective force 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 dout Kal6 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 Selim 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 possession of Sou koum, wherel 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-Pacha, 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-Kal4—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 coast►►, 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 Schamy and his delegates.—l am, &c., (Signed) "Hamm." THE PRUSSIAN LOAN. A letter from Berlin, in the Borsenhalle of Ham burg, says :—" The mobilisation of t h e army is 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 proposition 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 6,000 couffes of corn of the coming crop, and 20,000 metals of oil. The troops destined for the expedition are infantry and artillery, under the orders of Sidi Serschidi. The purchase of horses by English officers continues. On May 22, the Bey left Mahamedia for the Go letta, where he is to pass the summer." CO-OPERATION OF DENMARK WITH THE WESTERN POWERS. A letter from Copenhagen, of the 7th, in the Moniteur, says—" In consequence of the notifica tion from her Britannic Majesty to the Danish Go vernment of the blockade of all the Russian ports on the Baltic, on the Gulf of Finland, and on the Gulf of Bothnia, the Danish journals of this day contain an official announcement of the same from the department of Foreign Affairs, and which ter minates with these words—' Any vessel attemptin g to break the blockade will be seized."? 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 tha 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 Hetceria. One Heracles, who had been expelled from Samos two months since for endea venting 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 dations, without the possibility of hindrance from the authorities. In the neighbourhood o f 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 for a refuge. COURT CIRCULAR. The Countess of Neuilly visited her Majesty yes• terday. A deputation from the most Hon. and Loyal Society of Ancient Britons, consisting of Lord Dynevor (presi dent), Lord Robert Grosvenor, Mr. C. A. Wood (trea surer), and Mr. H. Clifton (architect), had the honour of an interview with Prince Albert yesterday, to submit for her Majesty's approval the plan proposed for the new buildings of the charity. The King of Portugal and the Duke of Oporto visited the Polytechnic Institution, in Regent street, on Mon day afternoon, and in the evening honoured the Olympic Theatre with their presence. Yesterday morning his Majesty and his Royal Highness, attended by the Baron de Sarmento, Chevalier de Mello, Colonel Folque, Lord de Tabley, and Colonel Wylde, paid a visit to the brewery of Messrs. Truman, Hanbury, and Co., in Brick-lane, Spitalfields. Her Majesty and Prince Albert, accompanied by the King of Portugal and the Duke of Oporto, left Bucking. ham Palace rt five minutes past four o'clock yesterday afternoon for Windsor Castle. The Queen and Prince were conducted to their carriage by the Duke of Wel lington, Earl Spencer, the Marquis of Breadalbane, Lord Ernest Bruce, and Lord George Lennox. Mr. Robert William Jearrad had an interview with Viscount Palmerston yesterday, on the subject of con sumption of smoke in furnaces generally, and submitted drawings and descriptions of the successful application of his patent to marine and other boilers. Mr. George H. Geyelin had also an interview with the noble vis count, and submitted a fire grate for consuming smoke —the principle consisting in revolving the grate after each supply of fresh coals, so as to force the smoke to pass through the ignited coals. Mr. John Abel Smith had an interview with the Earl of Aberdeen yesterday, at his official residence in Down ing -street. Earl Spencer had an interview with the Chancellor of the Exchequer yesterday. Sir Alexander Spearman had also an interview with the right hon, gentleman at his official residence in Dawning -street. Lord John Russell attended at the Privy Council office yesterday, for the first time since his appointment as Lord President. Sir George Grey transacted business yesterday at the Colonial-office, as Secretary of State. WINDSOR, TIIESDA.T. 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 Prince Albert accom panied by C. he youthful King of Portugal, who left Buckingham Palace yesterday for Windsor Castle, will return to town on Friday next. The Queen and her illustrious visitors will honour Ascot Races to-morrow with their presence, when the Emperor of Russia's annual gift will be superseded by the orig nal gold cup. His Majesty the King of Portugal, the Duke of Oporto, and suite, accompanied by Lord de Tabley and the Hon. Colonel Wylde, visited the brewery of Messrs. Truman, Hanbury, Buxton, and Co., yesterd :y, and were con ducted over the whole of the establishment by the part ners of the house. The royal party expressed them selves highly gratified with their visit. The Duke of Devonshire is progressing as well as can be expected. It was s t a t e d yester d ay, 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 SGUER SET HOUSE.—This morning workmen were engaged in laying down a hue of wires from the Strand to the Vic tualling Department of the Admiralty, Somerset House. By this the office will be placed in direct communication v‘ ith the great naval arsenals at Pembroke, Plymouth, Portsmouth, Deal, Chatham, and from the last men tioned yard with Sheerness by 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 out, 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 GEELONG. —By private letters received by the last Overland Australian Mail brought to Southampton by the Simla 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 not 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 Constitutionnel con tinues to regard the movement as a menace to Ails' tria ; and the inference that it seems to draw front it is, that the Emperor of Russia hopes by it to de* ter Austria 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 thee allies of Turkey. The steam corvette Tisiphone, commanded by' Captain 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 Madrid journals of the Bth inform us that the Minister of Finance had, on 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 abroad 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 outbreak for to-daY have been spread during the last two days, but everything has been perfectly tranquil. It is noir said that the rising has been postponed for a week. It is said also that .some arrests were made last night amongst the officers of the garrison. But these rumours spread by malevolent persons are completely false." Letters from Cuba, to the 12th, state that per fect tranquillity prevailed in the island, and that the affair of the Black Warrior was considered a . s terminated. The weather is rainy and cold as m the month of January. MARKET' N t T KIS DAY.) CORN EXCHANGE. 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 Monday's prices. We were well suppli with foreign wheat.
