cted, the self denial, power of endurance, and perse- ; verance displayed are perfectly wonderful, and the:, qua lit t '.!. tI;.T , 1, ing, and tearleAs enemy, resistance is as hint as is the stf-el they wield. It the km's ide 16 so trcii,eiiiious —ths: iitin.oer of our wounded is at present 2,h60 according to the usual proportion must give about 3,000 dead and missing—the loss in horses, baggage and mu nition must, to judge from the fresh supplies demanded, have been quite as great. Terrible though the fo re g oin g numbers may appear, they are but too correct. Not far from Kostendje, on a piece of boggy meadow land, with an area of hardly 6,000 feet, we lost 243 men and 71 horses, although this engagement, in comparison with some others, was unimportant, and ended by the retreat of the Russians. The Turks are far better acquainted with the ' terrain ' and the way of taking advantage of it than we are, and then they have the habit of bringing their heavy artillery into play only after the battle is well engage 1, when their guns being murderously well pointed,' they floor whole flies of their opponents, " Their artillery department is evidently better man.ged than ours, for they have many small guns which can be carried on . pack horses. In consequence of this they often fight with superior weapons, and how they fight is best seen by the numoer of killed and the extremely severe wounds inflicted on our troops. A single gun-shot wound is something rare; the men have generally two or three, and the consequence is that many die of sheer pain and loss of bit od before they reach the infirmary. We have recently had numerous cases of fractured legs from Silistria and other places on the river. The mortality among the wounded has been 31 per cent. during the month of April. Our men, who were half-starved during the Easter fasts, get good rations of meat, of which there is until now no want in the Dobrudecha, but bread and our celebrated biscuit get damp, soft, and mouldy, and are not only disagreeable to the palate but the cause of all kinds of complaints. There is almost everywhere a terrible want of good water, and even when by chance this is found, it can hardly be preserved in the miserable wooden flasks called chutteras, which are so saturated with schnapps that the water at once gets an einp3reu natio taste. The only creature comforts which the men get are schnapps. tea, and tobacco. "The affair at Czernavoda, the most sanguinary of all, and the almost daily recurring attacks on the field works at Rassova and Silistria, have caused such a bustle on this part of the Danube, that the traces of citizen and peasant are almost lost in the turmoil of war. Ever 3 thing that is to be found belongs to the soldier alone ;he has nut o bous-, bed. vei icle, horse, meal, bread, hay, oats, wine, mid schnapps. but even the arms and legs of the nian `in mufti,' who must work hard in fortifying and foi agieg. You will be able to guess how we are liked, if you ever &lanced to inhabit a besieged town of which the eeemy was in po session. "The news from the higher parts of the lla , ube is of a contradictory dereription. This much. however, we know to a certainty—The best informed officers in Val lachia do not coesider things safe, and have sent thEir wives. valuables, and better earriages and Harness to the left bank of the Pruth. Th y have, besides. sod delay and totally left i ff talking big about reachii:g Constantinople this summer. In the meantime rein h!rcentents keep coming in from Bessarabia., and par ticularly cavalry and heavy artillery, which last sent to the Dobrudscha and Kalara.sch for arming the boats and sloops. The troops coming through Moldavia en camp on the Fokschani line up to the frontiers of Tran ql,ania. Behind Fok-cliatii a vast ca.mp hospital is being at ranged for immediate service. "By all this you will see that the war is likely to be long and bloody elle. We are already rich in ague, typhus, dysentery, scurvy, home sickness, and hospital gangrene, so that it does not require inticl, more to pro duce that Wallachian pest which, being discovered in 1827 and 1829 by the illustrious Councillor of State the Chevalier von Seiillitz, gave the critical gentlemen of the faculty and the ac.idemicians of St. Petersburg a convenient opportunity of earning laurels without risk and danger." MONTENEGRO. . A general rising is expected in Montenegro in favour of Russia, but Austria, it is said, is fully prepared to oppose it. Six hundred of the Montenegrins have made a foray into the Herzegovina and killed several of the Turkish inhabitants. OPERATIONS ON THE CIRCASSIA.N COAST. Three vessels were cruizing, according to the latest accounts, along the coast of Circas.ia, wait ing for the Ottvalan fleet, which was to bring 5,000 men for disembarkation in Abasia. THE ATTEMPT ON THE SULINA MOUTH OF THE DANUBE. The following is an extract from a letter from R.M.S.•Sidon : " BLACK SICA, April 15. On the 15th of last month we were going to attack the fort built to guard the entrance of the Sulina mouth of the Danube, and cut out a small schooner of war lying there, inside a large chain which they have stretched across the eutrance. However, we could not get within range, for want of a • knowlege of the channel, and gave it up without firing a shot at them. We went there again on the 8h of this month, and sent in a flag of truce, and brought off our con sul. They had made another battery since our first visit, and were hard at work finishing it. There were four gun-boats inside and the same schooner. The boats mounted seven guns each and sixty men. "On Tues day, the 11th of April. our look-out man reported a body of Cossacks coming over the bill at the back of the town. Our boats, one French and two English, were on shore watering, and only had three muskets with them. We fired a signal gun for their return, but In the meantime the Cossacks had advanced rapidly into the town, were dismounted, and were led down to the boats by two or three Greek ruffians who are still in the place. They arrived just as the boats had shoved off. A rapid intercharge of shot tui.k place, and trro of the Cossacks were knocked down during this time. The French and ourselves were firing shut and shell at them. In about half an.hour they cleared out." KUSTENJEH, April 22.—We have been again to Sulina ; this time with the Retribution, Nig.r, and Descartes. Found the torts dismantled. All the soldiers gone. They appear to have found out in good time that the place was untenable against ships. In our anxiety to get clo,er into the batterie- got aground, but only remained two hours. Our three cruisers have taken 14 small prize-, several of which they were forced to sink ; six we towed down here to-day.'

FPANCE.. communication in the Moniteur with recce to to Austria, has given much satisfaction to the public at large in Paris ; and has inspired the greatest confidence in the sincerity of that Power ; and has produced a very dolorous effect on the French partisans of Russia, who would rejoice in the eventual triumph of the enemy of France and England. The paragraph is to this effect : several journals have announced, as also the private telegraph, the Austrian Government has just taken measures to augment the effective strength of its army. The official Gazette of Vienna publishes an ordi nance, which prescribes the immediate levy of 95,000 men. That ordinance is accompanied by a manifesto which indicates in an unmistakeable manner the even tual destination of these forces. Both the manifesto and the measure itself, of which it is the commentary, have produced at Vienna an impression as favourable as it is profound." _ _ _ Rumours of modifications in the French Cabinet are again in circulation. It is said, on excellent authority, that there is no truth whatever in them. Changes may take place in the department of the Interior, such as transferring the political duties to the Minister of State, and leaving merely the ad ministrative ones to M. de Persigny, but no more serious change is in question. On the contrary, the most perfect accord reigns at this moment between the members of the Cabinet, and that the cause which it was said induced the Minister of the Inte rior to tender his resignation some time since, does not now exist. Under circumstances like the present, the effect of any Ministerial change on public opinion at home and abroad would be mis chievous ; and it is believed the English Govern ment would hear with regret of any such change. It was mentioned some time since that there was a probability that a project of law fur raising a new loan, some say of 500,000,000 f., others of 250,000,000 f., would be proposed to the Legis lative Corps before long, or at least that autho risation for raising such a loan in case of necessity would be demanded. The subject is again talked of. Among the plans for raising the loan one is spoken of as also very probable, namely, as dividing it between the Bank of France, the Credit Mobilier. the Receivers-General, and the public, in the proportion of 100,000,000 f. to each of the time first, and 2:0,000,000f. to the last ; %nd if 250,000,000 f. be the amount, the distribution will be in the same proportion. It is also sail posi tively that, if neceAsary, Frauc: will sen 1 150,000 or even 2J0,000 troops to the theatre of the war. We read in the .Seniaphuro de. Alar.)eilles of the 16 The Courrier announces that, M. Bourtee, who is ping on an extrai , rdinary mission to Greece, has re- I i,,ived his last instructions, and left Marseilles for Toulon, where he is to emb rk in the steam-frigate Cri,tophe Columb, with Genrral Furey, Commander of Division which is to occupy Athens. M. Bourisie is ordered to claim from the Greek Government the inte rest, due since 1828, on the loan gu,ranteed by France, and is moreover the bearer of verbal instructions f our Ambassador at Athens. should the reply of the Greek Government not be satisfactory, our troops are to take possession of the Pawns, Athens, and the most import ant points on the Continent and in the Archipelago." The Bourse again rose yesterday, in consequence of the favourable accounts ieceived from Austria.

SPAIN. A telegraphic despatch from Madrid, dated 15th, says Queen Christina is ill. She has an attack of scarlet fever. The Madrid journals of the 13th have arrived, but their contents are unimportant. One of them mentions a rumour current that Mr. Soule, the United States Minister, was about to leave ou ac count of not being able to come to an arrangement on the Black Warrior affair ; but this is not only in direct contradiction to the statement in recent letters of a settlement having been made, but the Lithographic Correspondence asserts, on what it represents to be good authority, that the Govern ment has not received any notification of Mr. Soule having taken any such resolution. Lord Howden had returned to Madrid from Cadiz. COURT CIRCULAR. The Queen, attended by the Hon. Caroline Cavendish, Colonel Bouverie, and Captain Du Plat, visited the Duchess of Gloucester yesterday afternoon. Prince Albert rode on horseback, attended by his equerry in waiting.

Her Majesty and Royal Highness honoured the Ropil Italian Opera with their presence in the evening. The Queen and Prince were attended by the Viscountess .Jocelyn, the Hon. Caroline Cavendish, the Hon. Flora Macdonald, Lord Rivers, Colonel Bouverie, and Captain Du Plat. THE FRENCH PRESS.—A council ..f ministers was held ou Wednes.lay at. Paris. There is a rumour that the s c heme su -trenuous'y repudiated by the Moniteur some time ago of ,uppres.ing all the journals, has been a4aiii brou g ht forvrard. The great difficulty is Paid to be the hiniense amount of compensation that would have to be paid. ROYAL SURREY ZOOLOGICAL GARDENS.—The exten , sive menagerie of this esta dislinieet has recently re ceived an important addition by the arrival of two of the smallest elephants ever yet imported. They arrived in this country afew day a ago in the Monarch, East India nian, and were immediately purchased by Mr. Tder, the proprietor of the gardens, to add to his all-Cady nume rous collection. Their playfulness and docility has al ready made them general favourites with the subscribers and other visitors to the gardet.s. NEWSVENDERS' BENEVOLENT AND PROVIDENT INSTI TUTION.—The fifteenth annual general meeting of this institution will be held at Anderton'a Lintel, Fleet-street, on Monday evening next, (May 22), to receive the coin mittee's report, decide on an application for a pension, elect officers for the ensuing year, and to confirm the election of Charles Dickens, Esq., Ps president (who has kindly promised his willingness to accept the office), in the room of the late James Harmer, Esq.

SUPPOSED SUICIDE IN THE OPEN STREET. —Yesterday morning information was forwarded to Mr. Wakley, the coroner for Middlesex, of the discovery of the body of a man in the Uxbridge-road, Shepherd's-bush, who. it is supposed, has committed suicide by swallowing poison.

His attire con sisted of a dark brown coat, black waistcoat and trou sers, short Wellington boots, cotton stockings, and black neckerchief.

The larger por tion of the Greeks, who were to have been expelled from Turkey, have escaped the effects of that mea sure by declaring themselves subjects of the Sul tap. A curious fact has been ascertained. The Greek Government has granted letters of marque to the pirates who at the present moment in test the Levant. Surely it is time to look for a suc cessor to King Otho I A correspondent of the Independance Beige, under date Paris, May 16, says, " There is a ru mour here that a very important diplomatic docu ment will see the light very shortly, drawn up by the Powers, it is said, to doom King Otho to de thronement. This is but a rumour as yet, it is true, and it may have sprung spontaneously from the positive fact now known respecting the occupa tion of Greece by the 3d division of the French army under the command of General Forey. It is at the same time beyond all doubt that from the moment the occupation actually takes place by the Western Powers, the administration of the King will be placed in their hands, and Lord John Rus sell's sil ence on t hi s po i n t in the house proves still more the gravity of the resolutions taken by France and England.

Two of these prisoners were given up to the authorities of Enos, and the other two to those of Gallipoli. 0 all !O 2 5 all :0 l 0 7!, 10 all ;o . 10 ;Oi all - 6 1 all !CI I 5 5 all 0 15 .0 10 5 2 5 3 LO 5 n 8 M 12 .0" I all. soul oall .6 all CI all .0 all tO all .0 all 9 all O all O 10 I.oi 10 0 12 5 2 !O an ,6 I 6 9 S gi all [0 all ) .0 10 w 7 ?,0 2 !O 15 frY TUE SUN, LONDON, PRIDAY EVENING, MAY 19. 1854.

PARLIAME2 MMI TT THE CASE OF MR. HENRY STONOR. The committee appointed to inquire into-this cam Pt a second tine yesterdaY Lord ticho, M.P. for . Haddington s hi re'an d a Lord of the Treasury appeared on b e h a lf o f th e Government. The committee now oonsists of seven members—via. Mr. Sotheron (chairman), Mr.- Milnea Gaskell, Mr. Deedes, Mr. Horsnian Mr. Bonh a i n Ca r t er , M r. G. H. Moore, and Lord.Ehilo, the lair; two members ap • ing simply as prosecutor and defendant respectively t i with the power of voting, Mr. Herman Merivale„, permanent - Under-Secrete* for the Colonies, warl'ilamined by Mr. Moore, and re. examined by:Lord Elebe. ireleeld'_ that he had lose been acquainted with Mr. Stonor, and should, (*r ui n ' s , not hive recommended him to the Dike of Newcastle are a fit person for the post given him; unless he had bees satisfied of his fitness: the course of October oar November last Mr. Stoner celled at 3he Colonial-office on the subject of his brother, the Solicitor :General 4 Van Diemen's Land, who; having fallen into had health, had been obliged to return.- He mentioned the W4OO of the ..provisinnal . appointment then vacant, Alend mid if would suit him exactly. By witness's advice Mr. Stone, afterwards applied by letter for the appointment, enclosing a number of testimonials and some papers about the Sligo committee's report, all. which.. went . before his grace. Witness mentioned casually, either to Mr. Roberts 'the *Dukeli private secretary, or to his Grace himself, is the course of one of several conversations that took place on the ante" irai) a very fit person* had not this business of Mr, Townley been against him. Whether or not he was justified in the courset,ha took war an inference • for the 'committee to draw for them. selves. He .diclittotithink it teoessary to call the Duke of Newcastle's attention more distinctly to circumstance', which he understood to he notorious and well known to every one ; besides, he had seen from the papers sent he that three members of a committee of the House of Come moons reported a gentleman guilty of bribery, while the other two stated their opinion that there was nothing whatever against him. It further appeared that this gee. tleman had never been called before that oommittee, net had been asked there to give any explanation; and tbs. s when the report of that committee was brought before the House of Commons, no prosecution was directed, not proceedings of any kind taken upon it. He, therefore. could not suppose that it was intended to place that gen* timer, in the position of a man incapable of holding s responsible aloe. No friend of Mr. Stonor's ever made I tt t ) w wa it ., ne n s o s t a t iz e c p o r m ac n t i i u c i e lic to ati t u l i )ne , ub , jfk theea tioyfooNewca s tle ' s ai kind liipo o, appointments n i he b nas e tt h sti t i f lvo .. obefficnei made. e o . t Vine short,Cr.v Crown had)n the the tion been particularly called to the Sligo Committee's report, witness should say that everything had been dune in the case in question that could possibly have been Gone to insure a good selection. Mr. Henry Roberts, private secretary to the Duke of N e wcastle, was the next witness—He said, be had been for 12 Years chairman of Quarter Sessions and chief judge of Common Pleas of the 1.-land of Jamaica. He had held hi- present situation since the commencement of January 1853. He was in England, on leave of ,ab• sett ee, when it was offered him. Mr. Merivale never made Tiny statement to him with respect to anye o p o rt of a committee of the House of*Comininia affecting Mr. Stotior, and he (wittier!) knew nothing whatever of that gentleman. Nothing of the kind was ever mentioned to him' by the Duke of Newcastle either, and, as far as he could know, he was confident that, had his Grace known, or even suspected, the true circumstances . of the case , he would immediately have instituted an in. quirt'. Had witness known the circumstances, and not called his Grace's attention to them, he should have con• sidered himself guilty of a gross dereliction of duty. Is the ordinary course of routine witness ought to have read Mr. Stonor's testimonials ; but, as Mr. Merivale had accepted the responsibility in that matter, he thought himself freed from what would otherwise have been a duty. He understood Mr. Merivale to have satisfied the Duke on all points relating to Mr. Stonor, and he did not think himself bound to canvass a matter which was already to a certain extent decided. In answer to Lord Elcho, witness said, he was quite sure that, since he had been connected with the-Nike of Newcastle, that nobleman had made no appointment at the instigation 'of any Irish member of Parliament, 'or of any other member of Parliament. ' The committee then adjourned to I. o'clock to-day. MEIWBANT SHIPPING BILL.' The Liverpool Steam-ship Association have published a series of remarks on the alterations proposed to be effected by the Merchant Shipping Bill of 1844 as re gards the interests of the owners of steam-vessels. The bill is divided into 11 parts, and the association point out the various clauses of which they approve, or to which they see no objection, together with those which they consider calculated to cause injury.• Among the latter the most important is a provision altering the tonnage allowance for engine room, which, instead of being esti mated, as heretofore, according to the actual space occu pied, is to be at the rate of three-tenths of the gross ton nage for paddle-ships and two-tenths for screw. By this means, it is contended, a serious addition will be made to the register tonnage of almost every • vessel sailing from the port of Liverpool, the evil falling moat heavily on ships the power of which is large in popor tion to their size, and tbus operating as a direct dia couragement to speed and efficiency, since it will add materially to all light, tonnage, dock, and other dues. A number of criticisms are furnished on other parts of the bill, which seems calculated in some instances to in troduce a needless system for interference, although, on the whole, it is regarded with favour. At the same time it is complained, that while the Baited of Trade appear disposed to extend their power of decid ing with regard to the qualifications of masters and crews, and of taking, in fact, tee entire superiiaendence of merchant shipping, they show no readiness to relieve the shipowners of the responsibility which under the ex isting law has to be borne in case of these qualifications proving in any instance to have been wrongly certified, or to have fallen short of what should have been de manded. On this point the association observe : "The bill coutetuplates no alteration iu relation to the respousibility of shipowners. At present, notwithstanding all tin care employed by the owner in the selection of a master and crew, there is a doubt whether, under Lord. Campbell's act, he is not liable to the utatiiist penny of his means to passengers and their representatives in the event of accidents which he can in no way control or prevent, and it is considered that the present time is peculiarly suited for ureing upon the Government the propriety : of settling the' raw in this respect, and of freeing the ship owner from the overwhelming responsibilities to which he may be liable in the event of accident. Where every care is taken by the owner that the ship shall be properly manned and fitted, and where, moreover, she is navigated by masters possessing the certifica'es required by this bill, and under, rules and regulations made, or emanating from the Board of Trade, and for the breach of which heavy penaltieh are incurred, it appears utterly unjust and un reasonable that a shipowner should personally be liable, in a pecuniary point of view, for the lives of pemont wham loss he may lament as much as any one, and for whose lees it can never be imagined he is amenable to a criminal : court." PROVINOIAL BANK OF IRELAND. At a meeting of the Provincial Bank of Ireland, held yesterday, the dividend declared was at the rate of 8 per cent., with a bonus of 4 per cent., and the report and accounts were unanimously adopted. The chairman (Sir J. W. Hogg) referred to the satisfactory progress of business, principally caused through the improved situa tion of Ireland, and ill us t r ated by statistics the ditninu tion that has recently taken place in the pauper popula tion. The advance in the valve of a g ricultural an d farming stock, and th e increased demand for laud avail able for occupation , were also quoted iu proof o f th e great amelioration in the social condition of the country. Annexed is an abstract of the accounts : " STATEMENT OF THE RESULTS OF LAST YEAB's Buswm. The account submitted to last meeting, in 2 e. d.

EXTRAORDINARY CARE OF SOMNAMBULISX.--A woman has been rescu e d f r om drowning by the officers of the Royal Humane Society under the following circum stances :—lt appears that the officers of time Royal Humane Society had retired to rest about three-quarters of an hour, when, at a quarter-past 11 o'clock, Mr. Williams, the superintendent of the society, was startled out of bed by a loud - knocking at the door. He at once got up. and was informed by a woman, in a breathless state of excitement, that th-re was a woman in the Ser . peotioe drowning.
