IU 4081 on the last two t lalell 4" " r^"nvernnin , nne of .1 - ,0 1 .7 +l , e 1- m7.' I cannot a`Couei tor s.:ce, t() Perbaps, by their being the wives of some of the warriois °!i the be ac h, w h o , p er haps, were very jealous fello ws . We took three of these people in our boat, and numerous , w ore their ex p res sions of astonishment and Ma,shal 14118' on seeing the ship and its contents. A book with ',Jews of Sta m b o ul particularly elicited their admira tion, but at the sight of a revolver and its six successive 4 Plosion of caps came a Mashallali, Mashallab,' and A a bout of laughter. On seeing an e n g ravin g of the G reek Sl ave , the o ld gen tl eman laughed, and put his bands before his eyes like the most sensitive of American allies. They ate bread and salt (the latter is most /aluable among them), and took back with them some charge s of powder. Before coming off I noticed a mark of delicate feeling on the part of one of them. Seeing W e Were unarmed, he took off his pistols, knives, and 4a bre, and, unslinging his rifle, insisted on leaving them shore behind him. When the admiral went on shore, he was at once recognised, and received as a prince ; and, leaving, the whole of the hundreds of rifles were dis charged at once by their owners. " We left Bardan during the night, and in early I I morn .. were off Navaginsk. Here the admir al sent a boat . as hore to look at the destroyed fortress , whe re were still "RA, left behind, 24 brass guns. What a gift these Would be to our friends the Turks at Redout-Kaleh I By th e bye, I forgot to tell that those Tur ks are cf the Th t T"tio- After leaving Navaginsk , we passe d the blown- G P Russian post of the Holy Ghost,' and then came a p i . The Circassians are a remarkably good-looking race L'tall and well made, and generally fair, some even of the older warriors having quite pink cheeks ; and, odd enoll gh, when one considers their roaming life, their feet all 4 hands are remarkably small. They cut the ir skin ilui.e 'es to fit the foot exactly. In dress they carry a huge affair on the bead, of the calpac species ; a high cone of Yello w cloth rises from a forest of fur which encircles the he ad ; their coats are principally made of a coarse Woollen f a b r i c, and reach fir below the knee. The highe r ord ers have this of brilliant yellow cloth ; round the throat a linen under-garment buttons exactly, and 0 3 :er this is f re quently worn a smart silk affair, showing 1 tween the folds of the coat. In their breast the y „, r r rY about a score of bone or ivory oases, filled with ire powder, having the ball at the top. S ome of the tter sort wear smart scarlet leggings and yellow or red lII PPers; round the waist of all are fastened multitudi nous knives and pistols, upon a leather belt, and slung ov a' th e shoulder, in a cloth case, the rifle. They look ',gather like a set of aristocratic savages. We were e greatly disappointed that the birds had flown from e lendjik ; the plan of proposed attack was pe rfect ; t he plan for a ttacking Soudjee was also made out. "At Sinope we found the place as mournful looking 48, ever—exactly in the state as when w e first saw it, . ;7eept that two small forts have been erected. Not a "ngle house is re-built, and the Russian shot are st i l l Re attered about • even the Austrian Consul has not re paired the sh o t-holes through his domicile. Our Bus .ilan Captives were mightily afraid of being left at Sinope ; that case, they said, they were sure the inhabitants . iT °lll d hang them. We looked through one of the urkish fo r t s t o -day. Its officer showed lively satisfac tion at our pantomime of the occupation of Redout tkaleh by his brethren. All the muskets, swords, stores, fie,) took are gone to be sold with the prize at Malta, , _e Circassians being posses°ed of far better weapons of their own. We gave them however, lots of shirts, and nis tributed 20,000 rounds Of Russian ball cartridge. We captured a Russian gun-boat with the brig, fully e quipped, and have kept it in tow and used it constantly." RUSSIAN PRIZES AT MALTA. letter from Malta of the 7th states that the Russian vessels the Elchina, freighted with salt, a nd the Craffni Kiti, freighted with linseed, which s ere captured off Odessa, on the 19th ult., by the French frigate the Descartes and the English s teamers the Retribution and the Niger, had ar- Z 7 ed in that port under the command of two nglish officers, and were about to be condemned as lawful prizes by the Admiralty Court. MOVEMENTS OF THE AUSTRIAN TROOPS. The Universal German Gazette says :—" It is remarkable that all the troops which belong to the s everal corps stationed in Galicia, or which are marching in that direction, have received orders to they their arrival as much as possible, whether employ railway or steamers, or make forced larches. A company of Engineers has been sent ip the greatest haste from Breda to Cronstadt, in Trans lvania, to defend with entrenchments the Passag es which to the south of that town lead to 'T ransylvania. All this shows how little cause there was for the rumour that the levy of 95,000 thewas suspended. In the present state of things "I ere does not appear any further chance of a pa clic solution. RUSSIAN TACTICS ON THE DANUBE. l'he Pays has an article on the news of th e R ussiansi having established their head - qua rters in capifal of Moldavia. This journal does not le.{,i'ard th e movement as an indication of an inten -311 to evacuate the Principalities of the Da nube, but as a p roo f of the determination of the Emperor " Russia to reject the demand of Austria, and prepare for the COnSequonc©a of the r cjcction. It 18 of opinion that the Emperor of Russia would c onsider himself disgraced in the opinion of his own s ubjects, and irreparably injured in his political I4fluence in Europe, by a compliance with the s ummons of the Austrian Cabinet, which is said to have been backed by a direct application from the . ""Ing of Prussia. This, however, is not the only obstacle to the arrangement proposed by Austria. Now that the Emperor of Russia has acquired a conviction that his designs upon Constantinople are for the present, at least, impracticable, a nd Via the continuation of the war, although he may hope to preserve his • fleets from destruction by keeping them under the protection of his fortresses, must soon impoverish his treasury, and misery for I . l p l people, he might be disposed to treat for peace 4 . he could obtain by the evacuation of the Prin cipalities and the withdrawal of his army of I nvasion, the re-establishment of things on the "le footing as they were before the mission (4 Prince Menschikoff, for with time the pro jects of Russia in the East might be resumed under more favourable circumstances, if she should :have the same means of realising them ; but l 'ue Emperor of Rssia thinks probably that, 4 0 wover willing Austria and Prussia may be to accept such a solution of the present dispute, the Governments of France and England would de reand new guarantees, which, if granted, would render impossible any new attempt to obtain pos session of Turkey, or reduce her sovereign to a state of vassalage. If, as the Pays says, the Em peror of Russia does not consider it consistent with Illehonour or his interest to yield to the represen tations of Austria, and thinks it necessary to at tempt to place himself by some signal advantage in position to treat as an equal, if not exactly as a conqueror, the same consideration must have equal Weight with his adversaries, who can hardly be ex- Noted to retire from the contest with the suspicion that they had undertaken to do more than they the accomplish, and without an inde mnit y for 'he enormous expenditure to which they have been Put by the pretensions of Russia. InSERABLE CONDITION OF THE RUS SIANS IN THE DOBRUDSCHA. The Wallachian correspondent of the Vienna Medical Journal, who is evidently completely dis couraged and disgusted, wrote on the Ist of June : "The embarrassment of the Russians in the Dobrud aoha increases from hour to hour. The outposts are con byd deceived, attacked, and taken unawares the Turkish irregulars, who receive all possible assist anee from the malevolent inhabitant s of the country. These people, who inhabit holes in the earth, the roofs of which are not higher than a horse's back, alone know where the few wells with drinkab le water are to be found, and they can always maeage to collect some little forage and provi-ion for the hostile army, and are besides most indefatigable spies. For us they have no thing, and being full of the low cunning and faithless ness which characterise the Wallachians and Slaves who are under the Ottoman yoke, we cannot even depend on thent for the assistance which is so much required by our unhappy sick and wounded men. If one of their burdehs is entered it is generally found empty, t he inhabitants having altogether fled, or being Concealed in some other burrow. There is neither chair, table, bed, nor linen in these boles. The light : 3 f day enters only through the doorway, and one is almost obliged to creep into a kind of cellar, which is filled with smoke and foul Smells. If we want to pre- Pare our own provisions, we must find wood, water, and vessels. The villages and hamlets are entirely composed of such miserable places as those above described. Even as regards towns, it is not necessary to make any great Chang e in my description of Basardschik and Rust- Kainardji cotsists of miserable huts constructed of twisted brushwood, with a rough c oatin g of cla y , and a shutter, which is opened in the morning and closed in the evening, serves instead of a wind >w. I t is only in the more civilised places on the Danube, such as Hirsova, that one sees windows with glass, or instead of it bladders of oxen or swine. As a consequence of this comfortless state of things we are Obliged to remove our sick and wounded as quickly Possible, and their transport is effected by means of the returning provision trains. Our largest temporary hos- Pital is at Slobosia. All the patients were removed from liirsova the day before yesterday, and the sick have already been conveyed from Isaktcha, Tultscha, and /Cilia to Reni. Those who can be removed from Mallow, Kalarasch, and Oltenitza are trans- Ported to Fakschani, and thence in the direction of Jassy and Leova. These arrangements probably arise from a desire not to have the hospitals near the Danube, over filled. In truth, we from day to day require more I.o om and accommodation ! Rassova, Silistria, and Tur tukai continue to decimate and di.hearten our troops, arid this affords ill-concealed and mischievous joy to the Wallachians and Moldavians who are around us. It is a proof of the sinking courage of the conquerors' and liberators' -- under which, titles the Popen (Greek priests) in particular do homage to us—that the police is lao longer so severe about expression of countenance and Political sentiments. The efforts to take Silistria, which have been as fruitless as they are fearfully sa n g uinar y , have not only disheartened the common soldiers, but even the superior officers and commanders, The present systpro is not caging war. It is dragging men to the dit.tll RESULT OF THE TESCHEN CONFERENCE. The Hanover Gazette, under date of Berlin, 12th, says : " We have received from an authentic source the fol lowing particulars relativ to the conference at Teschen. The Sovereigns of Prussia and Austria came to an un derstanding as to the arrangements necessary for carry ivg into execution the treaty of alliance of the 2,oth April. The principal object of the conference was the demand for the evacuation of the Principalities-addressed by Aus tria to Russia on the 3d inst. This demand was made by Austria alone as an independent act, and unconnected with the stipulations of the Austro-Prussian treaty. There r esulted from this a doubt for Prussia —namely, whether there should be attributed to this demand, which, ex cept in form, was perfectly in accordance with the treaty, the character of summons provided for by it. On this point a perfect understanding has been come to at Tes chen, and Prussia admits that the summons made was in conformity with the treaty, and it was agreed that no fresh summons should be sent, but that Prussia should confine herself to supporting that already sent by Aus tria. These facts explain the mission of Colonel Man teuffel, who is to go to St. Petersburgh to convey a note from Prussia supporting the summons made by Austria." SERVIA. The Prussian Correspondence contains a letter from Belgrade of the 4th, which says :—" To the communication made by the Turkish Governor, Izzed Pacha, to the Servian Government, that Austria had the full concurrence of the Western Powers and of Turkey to enter, if necessary, Albania, Epirus, Thessaly, and Montenegro, and that Servia would be similarly treated if she became the theatre of hostilities against Turkey, the Servian Government replied by the most pacific assurances, and declared that the country was not by any means animated by hostile feelings towards the Ottoman Government." EXPORTS OF PROVISIONS PROHIBITED FROM RUSSIA. The following telegraphic despatch is from Ber lin :—" Accounts from Warsaw of the 12th state that the prohibition against the export of any kind of provisions, with the exception of wheat, has just been renewed with the most severe prescriptions. The export of provisions which was forirerly free when intended for Cracow is also prohibited." RUSSIAN RULE IN MOLDAVIA. The last accounts from Moldavia state that the Baron de Budberg, who was installed on the 23d ult., at Jassey, as Civil Governor of the province, had caused three Boyards to be arrested for not obeying the last decree of the military authorities, and issued a proclamation to the inhabitants, en joining them to pay by anticipation the second half-year of the war contribution before the sth of June. WIDDIN. The following letter is from a military officer at Widdin, dated the 6th inst. : " I have only time for two words, which, with the above date, will no doubt surprise you. The men all so comfortable and happy at Krajova, after having pushed on to Slatina, which the Russians had definitively abandoned after their defeat at Karokal. The order reached us in the middle of the night to leave without delay, and proceed by forced marches—guess to what place ?—to Shumla—that is, we have 130 leagues to march, under a tropical heat. The Russians evacuate definitively the whole of Little Wallachia, and are concentrating in Bulgaria where they are to the num ber of 150,000. The Turkish army and the allies follow their movements. The whole of our forces are about to be concentrated between Rustchuk, Silistria, Shumla, and the Dobrudsha, while the force left in Little Wallachia will not be more than is absolutely necessary for a military occupation. We are glad to find ourselves once more under the orders of Omar Pasha, but still sorry to quit Wallachia—that land of promise. The whole of the cavalry and artillery has come from Krajova, to Widdin without stopping. I only reached the latter place about an hour ago. We have had no fresh affair since the combat of Kara ' kal. We are preparing to set out for Lorn, and expect to arrive to-morrow." GREECE. A letter from Athens of the 9th in the Moniteur, says : " News from the provinces and the frontier continue to be satisfactory. The defeat of Kara Tassos, in Mace donia, is confirmed." The following letter from Salonica, of the 31st ult., is given in the Moniteur : " After a first check, Tchami Kara-Tassos established his head-quarters at Gonitza, where he occupied with 600 or 700 men the three villas belonging to the con vents of Mount Athos. He had in that spot a depot of stores and ammunition. He besides placed a corps of about 200 men in the villages of Larigovi, Paleocori, and Novocello. The Turkish troops att icked the Hel loner at Gunilza, and oakyried that position after a com bat of several hours' duration. The depot of provisions and ammunition of Tchami Kara Tassos, his articles of equipment, amongst other things 700 cloaks, some arms, and two standards remained in the power of the Turks. Some muskets, the two standards, the seals of the Greek chief, and some of his papers, amongst which are minutes of despatches to the Hellenic Government, have been sent here. The insurgents had 280 killed. According to information sent to the Pacha of Salonica, the chief Tchami Kara Tassos and the main body of his force have retired within the territory of Mount Athos. Two suspicious schooners have been, besides, seized by the Turkish cruisers—one at Saint Nicholas, and the other at the little port of Daphni, in the Gulf of Monte Santo ; they have been conveyed to Volo, the centre of the naval station." FR ANCE. The state of the weather has, for one day, at -east, superseded the interest of the Eastern question. Since Wednesday we have had four fld-twenty hours of constant rain, and even now there is no prospect of its ceasing. Since the commencement of the present year we have heard nothing from farmers but a succession of complaints. The beginning of winter was un naturally warm. The cold commenced in spring and destroyed. the vineyards. Then came a drought, which lasted so long that it was thought we should have no hay or straw; and now comes so much rain, that it looks as if we should have no corn. To-day the alarm is becom ing really serious—so serious, that it has created not only a rise in the price of wheat and flour in the market, but has affected the price of the pub lic funds on the Bourse. Hitherto, however, the crops do not appear to have suffered. A week ago they looked magnificent in the neighbourhood of Paris ; and although the rain is said to have since lodged a considerable portion of the wheat, the injury is so slight that a good breeze and a few days' fine weather will put all right again. In the meantime, however, the weather looks so threat ening that speculators begin to operate upon it. In Normandy the double kilogramme of wheat has risen to 98f. The number of troops embarked from France and Algiers for Turkey, up to the 10th of June, amounts to 72,000 men, and the embarkation of troops is still going on with great activity. The camp of Boulogne is to consist of 48,000 men. The troops will assemble on the 15th of July. The cholera has broken out with great intense ness at Dijon and its neigbourhood. In one small village of only 200 souls there have been 80 - cases within a few days, out of which there are 15 deaths. It is announced (says the Siecle) that MM. A. Roux, Lebel, and Co. w ho have also a house at Hamburg, have entered into an engagement with Admirals Parseval Deschenes and Penaud to supply with provisions the French fleet in the Baltic. This firm has established a service of steamers, the first of which will take its departure from Lubeck on the 17th of this month, and continue to make a trip each week. The first cargo, consisting of live oxen and sheep, flour, butter, vegetables, &c., has been placed on board the Franz-Frederic. All the young conscripts of the year 1853 are at present on their way to join the regiments which have been assigned them. • The continued wetness of the weather is be ginning to excite some uneasiness amongst the public, and the French Funds were considerably affected yeSterday, by apprehensions concerning the hay-crop, and the coming corn-harvest. The Three per Cents. have fallen lf. 15c., and the Four-and-a-Half per Cents. If. 10c., at 70f. 60e., and 90f. 50c. Bank of France Shares have de clined 20f., Mortgage Bands 10f., and the shares of the Societe Mobiliere 20f. Foreign Funds have tended slightly downwards. Railway Shares have declined 10fi to 20f. each. Exchange on London (short), 24f. 971 c., money ; ditto (90 days), 24f. 70c. money. SPAIN. There is nothing of political interest in the Mad rid journals of the 10th. Heavy rains had fallen and the weather had become hot. A letter from a ministerial source says :—" Calm continues, and the ministry is tranquilly pursuing its course without noticing the rumours that aro spread. In a few days the Court is to leave for La Granja, and this year all the ministers will take up their residence in that place as long as their Majesties remain there. The Marquis de Turgot is to leave to-morrow for France to take the mine ral waters of Das. The news from the provinces is very satisfactory. Everywhere the most com plete tranquillity prevails." ITALY. The Ticino Gazette of the 9th publishes a tele graphic despatch announcing that the orders for raising the blockade have arrived at Milan. THE SUN, LON D ON, FRIDAY EVENING, JUNE 16, 1854. v4k :`,; • , tt Ai A RK.Er ris DAY.) CORN E.X.,JriA.N GE. The quantity of English wheat received fresh up to our market to-clay, coastwise and by land carriage, was limited • -hence, the show of samples was small. For most kinds we had only a moderate inquiry. In prices scarcely any change took place. For red Baltic wheats we had a fair inquiry, at full quo tations ; all other kinds moved off slowly, on former terms. Very few floating cargoes were reported. Barley, the supply of which was but moderate, ruled inactive, at late rates. Malt was dull, but not cheaper. There was a moderate supply of oats on the market, for which the inquiry was steady, at late rates. In beans and peas scarcely any business was doing, on former terms. The flour trade was tolerably firm, but no advance took place in the quotations. Wheat. 740 English ARRIVALS THIS WEER. Barley. 1 Malt. 10 1 1,020 1 F lr ot i gn :: 1 2 ,910 — I 1,880 Oats.

All breeds met a very dull sale, at a decline in Monday's prices of quite 2d per Sibs. Sheep, the number of which was seasonably good, moved off heavily, and the quotations gave way 2d per Blbs. We had a very dull inquiry for lambs, at a fall of 2d per Blbs, and a clearance was not effected. The supply of calves being large, the veal trade was heavy, at 2d per 81bs less money.

This bankrupt had carried on business as a tea and colonial broker in Little Tower-street, and to-day came up for his certificate. The balance sheet extends only over ten months. The solicitor to the assignees opposed on the ground of ex- cessive expenditure, the profits having been 1211., and the domestic and personal expences 300/. ; travelling expenses, 801.; assets, nil. It was contended that the bankrupt ought to have come before the court before he became so involved, as he now owed 500/. His Honour said that the bankrupt could not have come before the Court on his own motion, as the law required that in such cases the petitioner should swear he was possessed of sufficient to pay a dividend of ss. in the pound. A man's hands were therefore tied in that respect, and he was deprived of the power of doing jus tice to his creditors to the extent of his means when he found himself going down. Mr. Linklater, for the bankrupt, said, one-third of the personal expenses had been incurred for medical attend ance, and the travelling expenses had been in 'the trade. The bankrupt had previously carried on a profitable business. His Honour granted an immediate certificate of the third class. BANK CHARTERS. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sin, —Observing some remarks of late in the different newspapers, on the Bank charters of 1844, 1845, and 1846, I am surprised that not a single hint is given about the immense sums of unclaimed moneys that continue to remain in hands of all the old banking companies in England, and Ireland, and Scotland also. 'These companies have hitherto been realising large profits from such depo sits, and it is impossible for the shareholders to put the annual interest, or dividends on the unclaimed moneys into their pockets iu strict honour or honesty. These funds belonged to our forefathers and their heirs, or next of kin, and ought to be now paid over, with the interest annually due, to the CJnamissioners who manage the National Debt, and applied in pait to pay off the debt due to the Bank of England, upon a receipt or obligation that the various sums will be paid to the par ties who are the heirs or next of kin to the original depo sitors ! As to the renewal of the charter to the Bank of England, so far back as 1822 Mr. John Smith, M.P. stated in Parliament that he d ecidedl y ob jected,' because the directors could not give an equiva lent for such a valuable monopoly ! The question now must very soon be discussed ! Is the Bank Charter to be renewed and continued for over, or when is it to have an end? It is gross absurdity to continue the monopoly a single year longer, because the directors cannot at all times advance the moneys required for the business of the Government, and continue to discount the enormous amount of bills of exchange daily presented to them ; and being so tied up' by the stringent measures and clauses in the charters for 1844, 1845, and 1846, they are so awkwardly placed, that they are compelled to raise the interest on the loans and bills they discount, and put on the screw, as they term it, that the whole trade of the country is deranged. By referring to the speeches in May, 1847, in both Houses of Parliament, Lord Brougham stated as an undoubted fact, that paper of the very best description had been refused to be discounted the past week at 12 per cent. and in the north of England traders had lar g e orders from America ; but in consequence of the want of money they could not execute them, and were obliged to stop their mills, and throe zkuanalluair of pcinpla /ant of employment. 12th May.—The pressure for money very severe. Interest on Exchequer bills proposed to be raised to 3d. per day. 16th May.—lt was estimated that there were 40 millions of sovereigns in circulation. Mr. Hume recommended 11. notes to be again issued—Lord George Bentinck knew one house that had 40,01,01. sterling of silver, and could not raise any money on it ! Now, the late advance of the interest to 5 per cent. by the Bank directors, in the opinion of many intelligent mer chants and bankers, was rather premature, especially as the value of money continues so reasonable in France, and in Holland, and large arrivals of specie and gold dust are expected from Australia.—Trusting that you may consider the above worth your notice in y our next paper, r ' you will much oblige a constant reader and a supporter of our able Chancellor of the Exchequer.—Your obedient servant, ROYAL a FRY-LANE. The production of Mozart's comic opera, Ii Seraolio ' with a German company, at this theatre on Wedne's'day evening was an occurrence of no small interest ; for this opera, notwithstanding its celebrity and its many beau ties, I!a3 remained almost a stranger to the English pub lic. It is the earliest but one in the series of Mozart's Ehr operas which still keep their place on the stage. The Seraglio was written at a time when he was fresh from his studies in the Italian school and his labours for the s t , Italian stage, and before his dramatic style had undergone 20 those changes which soon became so apparent. The drama of the Seraglio is of slight construction, but 50 the story is pleasant and well fitted to be the subject of a 13; comic opera. The incidents are extremely simple. Bel- " o , monte and Constance area young cou p le betrothed to each other. Constance, in her voyage to Sicily to be married to 27. her lover, is taken by an Algerine pirate, sold to a Pacha, ' and carried to his seraglio, along with her attendant 22 Blonda, and Pedrillo, a servant of her lover's. Pedrillo con- 25 trives to convey to his master the tidings of their misfor tune ; and Belmonte, determined to effect his m i s tress's St, rescue, arrives in disguise at the Pacha's place , a nd finds a means to get into his service. The Pacha is in love with r" 50 his fair captive ; but more magnanimous than Paehas 20 are usually represented on the stage, he desires to win 20 her affections by kindness alone. Blonda and Pedrillo, 10 of course, are lovers, like their master and mistress; and rk the soubrette, like her lady, is persecuted by the addres- 21 ses of Osmin, the Pacha's steward, and the buffo of the piece—a ridiculous old Turk, whose jealous vigilance V. thwarts the attempt of the two pairs of lovers to effect 2! their escape. This situation gives rise to a number of 11 sufficiently comic incidents of the usual kind. When the 2 lovers are ready for their elopement, Pedrillo, by way of P`" getting Osmin out of the way, tempts him to indulge in s a little conviviality, and after a scene of ludicrous jollity, 2 makes him dead drunk, and thinks he has got rid of him. s The lovers meet at midnight, and are making off toge- s ther; but the old Turk has by this time got sober enough 1 to be able to intercept them. They are seized, and E brought before the Pacha, who at first is furious, and 1 threatens them with death and tortures; but his genero- E sity prevails He gives them freedom, and orders Osmin to convey them in safety on board their vessel. The music, though much of it is of a diffuse and fie- St. rid character, is full of charming thi n g s . The airs be-. g;. • longing to the part of Constance are of excessive diffi- 12 culty, and, demand a singer of the greatest powers of 50 voice and execution. But all the airs, even the most 10 elaborate and ornate, abound in those simple and ex- 16' quisite touches of tenderness and feeling which Mozart, St. above all other composers, knew how to breathe. 19, The representation was admirable. The part of Con- 14 stance gave full scope to Madame Rudersdorfrs vocal ;.( 0 ) powers, while - she looked and acted the character de -11 lightfully. Her 'principal morceaux, particularly the 10 great aria in the second act, were applauded with enthu- s t . eiasm. Mdlle. Bury was highly and deservedly sue- St. cessful in the part of Blonda. She acted the lively 20 waiting-woman with playful archness and grace, and 10 sang brilliantly. Formes' Osmin was one of the finest 12i pieces of buffo acting and singing we have ever enjoyed. St. The parts of Belmonte and Pedrillo were well sustained 50 by Herr Peaz and Herr Castelli, who acted intelligently t° s and sang like good musicians. Herr Holzel, as the 25 Pacha, had not much to do, but did it with propriety St. and good effect. The orchestra and chorus were very 8/ 2 good, and the whole raise en scene was most creditable St. to the theatre. *St, CA LYCEUM THEATRE. The announcement that Madame Vestris was to re appear last night in a new part, after a retirement of several months from the stage, attracted a crowded au dience to the Lyceum Theatre. The piece selected for the roar& of the popular actress was a translation from the French drama La Joie fait Pear, which, lately pro duced at the St. James's Theatre under the management of M. Lafont, by its own decided merits and the supe rior acting of Madame Allan and M. Regnier, created a powerful impression. The name given to the English version is, Sunshine through the Clouds. The principal parts are sustained by Madame Vestris, Miss M. Oliver, Miss F. Hughes , Mr . Rosiere, Mr. Gladstone, and Mr. Frank Matthews. Madame Vestris obtained a highly flattering • recep tion. She is looking re markably well, and appears to be reinstated in her former health and strength. The part of the unfortunate mother was very ably sustained by her, ad at the fa of the curtain she was received with long s and prolonged applause from all parts of the house.

BETTER DEAD THAN ALIVE.— A snake, 5 feet 3 inches in length, was found on Monday under the floor of the ladies' cabin of the Marquis Conyngham's yacht Fancy, repairing in this harbour. Fortunately it was dead. SURREY THEATRE.— The admirers of English opera will be glad to hear that Miss Romer, who has!for a considerable time been obliged to withdraw herself from taking any share in the direction of the Surrey Theatre, is now enabled to resume her avocations as directress and artist. GUATEMALA.—Accounts from Guatemala to the 3d of May confirm the recent report of the total destruction of the city of San Salvador, in the State of that name, forming one of the petty republics of Central America, from a series of earthquakes, which commenced on the 13th of April and lasted to the 16th, when the whole city, which contained 28,000 inhabitants, was, without the exception of a single building, levelled to the ground. Multitudes had been killed, although a great number fled after the first shocks. Others had been blocked up for three or four days among the ruids, and many had died from exhaustion. Of those who escaped, all were totally destitute, and the suffering experienced was such as has rarely been paralleled. Several of the re fugees had reached the city of Guatemala on foot—a distance of 66 leagues, and the Government of that State bad immediately sent $5,000 for the general re lief. Meanwhile subscriptions were being sought in all directions, and it was hoped that something would be ultimately raised in London. RIGA.—From Riga the advices aro to the Bth inst. Three vessels had again arrived, the first two of wh ich had met with no British cruisers near the coast. The last, a Dutchman, had, however, seen one in the Baltic, and, on applying to the commander and informing him that he had only ballast on board, was told he could sail for Riga. On the other hand, there was a recent report from Memel that five of the vessels that had left Riga after the 15th Of May had been captured and taken to that port. From many quarters statements continue to be received of the absence of any coherent system, and allegations are made, which, however, must be re• ceived as very questionable, that the blockade, from the uncertainty that prevails, deserves merely to be regarded as a paper one. COLLISION' ON THE THAMES AND Loss Or LIFE. — Yesterday the Galeed was brought in tow of a steam-tug to Gravesend, having sustained considerable damage from collision. It seems the Galeed, which is commanded by Captain Tutu, was, on her homeward voyage from Cadiz, and when in Thames Haven, she was run into by the Tynemouth schooner. Such was the force of th e collision 1 that John Collins, the chief mate, was knocked overboard, 2 and though a capital swimmer he was carried away by the current and drowned before his shipmates could reach him.. The vessel had her bulwarks and stanchions stove in, lost her mainmast, and sustained other con siderable damage. The Tynemouth was also injured to someextent. The mate of the Galeed, who was drowned, was a native of Salcombe ; he has left a wife and five children to lament their loss. A RUSSIAN VESSEL SEIZED UNDER FALSE COLOURS. 44, —HULL, June 15.—A Russian schoone r-ri gg ed barque, '` the Ernest Merck, which recently arrived in this port 5( under false colours, has been seized by Mr. Catchpole 2z and Mr. Davis, the principal officers of the waterguard. It seems that this vessel was at Milan in April last, and was to sail from that place, in ballast, to Riga, where a 100 freight was to be obtained for her ; but Captain-Kruger, 100 who had charge of her, received a letter from the owners 20 (William Knock and Co.), in which it was stated that 20 she had been sold to Mr. F, Albrecht, army tailor, of Schwerin, and that he was to proceed thither for the 50 purpose of making a rran g ements with that gentle- 50 man. Captain Kruger accordingly went to Schwerin, 100 made the required arrangements with Mr. Albrecht, 100 and was reappointed captain of the vessel. While in that place he took an oath of allegiance to 20 the Grand Duke of Mecklenburg, and was made 50 a burgher of the town of Schwerin. On returning 20 to Pillau he mustere d the men, told them the vessel 25 had been sold, that he was about to take a freight 25 for Hull, and that she was to sail under Mecklenburg- 1 5 0 Schwerin colours. The men at once agreed to remain 10 in the vessel. They were subsequently discharged, in 5 order that they might go ashore for a few days. A new muster-roll was then drawn out by the Mecklenburg 25 authorities which all the men signed. Captain Kruger 25 delivered up the Russian papers to the Russian consul . 5 .. at Konigsberg , an d the vessel then proceeded to Hull. 0 When in the Baltic she was overhauled by a boat from the English war steamer Penelope, but on the German papers being seen she was allowed to proceed on her voyage, and arrived at this port in safety. When, how ever, her cargo, which consisted of hemp and wheat, was about being discharged, in the Junction-dock, it was discovered that she had been sailing under false colours, and she was c onse q uentl y seized. Since that time the captain and the second mate, who are Prus sians by birth, have been examined before the Ad miralty Commissioners, Messrs. Shackles and Holden. We may add that the vessel was built about 15 months ago, and that her value, including the cargo, is about 7,000/.—Easeern Counties "Jerald. COMMON SENSE Cheapside, Loudon, Juno, 1854. P.S.—lf any further advance in the rate of interest takes place, there will, to a certainty, be public meetings announced similar to those at the end of May, 1847. TEE BELISARIUS PICTURE.—ThiS splendid picture, by Salvator Rosa, which has for so many years been com paratively unknown to the public, is now, by the kind ness of the present owner, being exhibited, among other works of ancient masters, at the British Institution. The picture was given by Frederick the Great to the first Marquis of Town,hend, and it has lately descended to Captain Townshend, R.N., M.P. for Tamworth, who has taken the earliest opportunity of exhibiting it. The excellence of this picture as a work of art may be esti mated by the fact, that 10,000 guineas have been more than once offered to the family for the picture, and de- chned. -,DESIGNS OF RUSSIA ON FINMARK.— Recent advices from the Norwegian province of Finmark, near the nor• thorn frontier of Russian Lapland, contain the follow ing remarks on the designs of Russia in that quarter : " The Russians are collecting forces in Finland, appa rently to threaten Sweden and Norway. They are also anxious to get this northern part, which would provide them with fine shelter for their fleet, with the means of putting to sea at any season of the year, as our Fiords here do not freeze unless the water be very shallow." REPRESENTATION OF THE COUNTY OF ABERDEEN. — AS was pretty generally expected, Admiral Gordon, who has represented Aberdeenshire for 35 years, retires on his acceptance of the post of commanding officer at Sheer ness. The Admiral has recently found himself in a rather difficult position —unwilling to go against a Cabinet which had his brother for its head, and yet afraid to vote with the Ministry in opposition to the views he had previously supported. Hence, during this session he has not been present at a single division, but on some questions, where ho was unable wholly to escape, ho has "paired off." lie now retires, and creates a vacancy, to fill which Lord Haddo, his nephew, and the, son of the premier, is to be put forward. Lord Haddo must be understood as coming forward as a Government candidate. If accepted by the constituency—and there is not a whisper of an opposition—the ministry will, by 'the change, gain another vote, on which they may cal culate on all occasions. Lord Haddo is in his 38th year, and has not previously been in Parliament.—Banffshire Journal. GAME PRESERVING EXTRAORDINARY.—A correspon dent says :—" A novel plan is adopted to preserve the game on the estates at Westley Bottom, near Newmar ket, and very much to the injury and annoyance of the farmers,. who are not allowed to sport, and sometimes lose their dogs in a very mysterious manner. An exact account is kept (the more exact as nearly all are sent to market) of the number of hares killed on the estates during the season, and at its termination the men em ployed on the farms receive for every hare so killed 2d., while the shepherds on the estates receive 3/. 10s., and this for preserving hares during the breeding season, so that they may live to eat up the produce of their mas- Ler's farms. During the last season the enormous num ber of 840 hares were killed by the landlord and his friends on the Westley Manor, and the sum received by the men for hare money,' besides the allowance to shep herds, was 71. is. 6d., the day selected for paying this money being Good Friday, when the men had what they term a regular jollification,' and not being able to ex pend the whole of the money on that day, they returned to their revels on the Saturday. Can this system be justified ? It is reckoned, also, that three hares will consume as much as one sheep." The MOORSOIf SHELL.—The Derby illercury pub fishes a letter from an officer on board the Caesar who witnessed the bombardment of the Hango Forts. He says it was beautiful to observe the manner in which Moorsom'e new shells struck and bursted on the Rus sian batteries ; they will prove a most deadly missile during the present war. The Russians fired with great precision and with much pluck ; but the Dragon Was the • only vessel injured to any extent,. I went on hoard of her atter the cessation of firing, and found that fifteen shot had penetrated her hull, but, most providentially, only one man was killed ; a cannon ball took off his leg, and he died from heinorrage in twenty minutes. No other man was wounded, if we except one brave fellow who lost the use of his nose by a splinter. Jack immediately wiped his nose, and vowed, in not the most elegant terms, that he would have a " Roosian" for it; no doubt he exacted ample vengeance. Speaking of the affair at Eckness, he says a little grape and Moorsom told with a terrible effect on the Russian soldiers. I had it from the lips of one of the officers of the Arrogant that it was melancholy to witness the manner in which the limbs of both men and horses flew in the air from the-explosio n of the shells.

NAVAL ANI) MILITARY INTELLIGENCE. Yesterday adviees were received at Lloyd's, under date Stockholm, June 8, that the Norwegian barque Johanna Maria, of Stavanger, Lindner master, had been captured by her Majesty's cruisers and taken into Faro harbour, Gothland, and found laden with contraband of war ; she was consequently declared a prize and sent to England, her crew to be landed at Stockholm. Intell!gence was received yesterday, under date Dant zic, June 11, that her Maj . esty's steamer Desperate, 8, Captain D'Eyncourt, had just entered that harbour and landed the crews of two neutral vessels, who, after being warned off the coast, attempted to break the blockade. The ships have been sent home to England in charge of prizemasters. The French ship Algerine sailed yesterday from the Downs for the Baltic ; she carries stores and a medical staff, sick berth attendants, and the ether requisites for an hospital ship, for which purpose she is intended. Her Majesty's steamer Medina, under orders for the Baltic, sailed past Deal yesterday afternoon, going west ward. 1 esterday the Directors of the East India Company gave notice at Lloyd's that a ship of about 500 tons was required to carry a number of l a d s t o Bombay for the na val service, as also another ship to convey troops to Kurrachee. They are all to embark the latter end of July. The Taurus, screw steam transport, having completed taking on board stores at the Royal Arsenal, the re mainder of Captain Brandling's No. 1 company of the 12th battalion embarked in her at the Royal Arsenal, and she has left Woolwich for Constantinople. The Camperdown transport, No. 90, arrived in the Downs yesterday afternoon from the Thames, with stores for Malta. The officers studying steam at the factory at Wool wich dockyard concluded their examination before Com modore John Shepherd, Superintendent, and Mr. Atherton, Chief Engineer, yesterday, and the answers to the various questions put on the practical working of marine etearn-engines will be sent to Portsmouth pre vious to their being finally passed The Rev. Dr. Woolley, In spector of Dockyard Schools, concluded his inspection of the school for the tockyard apprentices on Thursd ay , and dur i ng t h e i r exa mination was assisted by the Rev. J. C. Connolly, Dockyard Chaplain, and Mr. M'Avoy;teacher of the prentices. The non-commissioned officers and gunners of Cap• tarn Graydon's company, lst battalion, Royal Artillery, have presented a splendid silver oup, w ith su i ta bl e in scription, to Colour-sergeant Robert Allen, as a memo rial of the high esteem in which he was held by them for his good conduct towards them, on his retiring f rom th e corps on a pension. He has obtained the situation of Superintendent of the Revenue Police of Dublin. The Medina will leave Portsmouth to-morrow with mails for the Mediterranean and Black Sea fleets. Let ters and papers must be posted this evening (Friday). The Locust, 3, steam-vessel, Lieutenant-Commander Day, is appointed to leave Portsmouth on the 21st inst. for the Baltic, carrying a mail to the fleet. The Myrmidon, 4, iron steam-vessel, Lieutenant-Com mander W. K. Jolliffe, arrived at Spithead, from the West Coast of Africa station, yesterday morning. She left Sierra Leone on the 15th of May, Teneriffe on the 30th, and Madeira on the 2 d of June, brin g in g mails. The Ferret, 8, Commander Macdonald, was about to sail for a cruise. The Plumper, 11 (screw), Commander Wharton, was about sailing with mails for Ascension. Commander Hesseltine, of the Britornart, 8, was ex pected from Ascension, to assume the command, as senior offices- of the Sierra Leone division of the squadron. The snail steam-packet Faith was at Sierra Leone, endeavouring to fit a propeller, in lieu of that lost on her way out. The Bacchante, with mails, ar rived outwards on the 15th of May. The slave trade is reported apparently extinct., and no prizes have been made for a very long time. The station was very healthy. Mrs. Lindsay and Mr. Bailee, Ordnance Storekeeper, have come home from Sierra Leone in the Myrmidon, which vessel has been healthy, considering the hazard( us and continued river work upon which she has generally been employed. She has lost One man from sickness, four by violent deaths, and Mr. Carr, Second-Master, murdered in November last by the natives of Kanyaboe. She has taken one prize, in May last, almost the last, or the last captured ; this was a fine new clipper schooner from the Havannah, about the only place for which slaves are carried from the coast. The Myrmidon has gone into Portsmouth Harbour to he refitted, most pro bably to serve as a gun-boat for the Baltic. ANOTHER SCREW SHIP OF THE LINE COMMIS'SIONEIL —We stated a few days since that Captain R. Spencer Robinson (1840) was likely to have a command. This officer has been appointed to the command of the newly. converted 80-gun ship Colossus, to be commissioned at Portsmouth. Captain Robinson is the youngest son of the late Sir John Robinson, Bart., of Rokeby Hall, county Louth, and as we have before stated, is the son in-law of Admiral Sir John Louis, Bart. He is one o the youngest captains of his standing on the list ; he entered the navy in 1821, served against the pirates in the Mediterranean, was made a lieutenant in 1830, and a commander in 1838. He commanded two steamers— the Pheenix and the Hydra, and was promoted from the latter in 1840, for services on the coast of Syria. As a captain he lately commanded the Arrogant, 47, screw ; but that ship having been paid off before he had served the usual period, his claims to further employment have been recognised in the bestowal on him of the command of the Colossus. The Colossus is one of the improved Vanguarl class of Sir William Symonds's design ; but, like a sister ship, the Majestic, she has been converted Jute A auro oll;p, Tr; 6h vusilsocs of 100 horse power by Penn and Co. She will have a complement of 750 offi cers and men. MANNING THE FLEET.—We are sorry to find that, notwithstanding the Algiers, 90, screw, Capt. Talbot, had the crow of the Meander, 44, turned over to her, and had been some two months previously entering men, she is yet between 200 and 300 short of her complement of petty officers and seamen. So far as her fitting is concerned, she will be ready to leave Devonport for the Baltic or elsewhere by the 27th inst. The Hannibal, 91, screw, Capt. Hon. W. F. Grey, fitting at Chatham, is pretty much in the same condition as the Algiers. She will be ready for sea by to-morrow ; but although she has been in commission since the 18th March, she has not two-thirds of her whole complement on board, and, moreover, the third portion of which she is short is, un• fortunately, petty officers and seamen. The following appointments have been made : Captain—Robert S. Robinson (1840), to command the Colossus, 80, screw steam-ship, commissioned yesterday at Portsmouth. Clerk— George A. S. Ley (1849), to the Termagant, 24, screw steam-frigate at Portsmouth. Gunner's-mate—Thomas Pearce, of the Rhadaman thus steam-vessel, at Woolwich, is promoted to be boat swain, and reappointed to that vessel. Lieutenant Fairfax Moresby (1847), having been no minated by his father, Rear-Admiral Moresby, C. 8., to whom he was flag lieutenant during his command-in chief in the Pacific, has been promoted to the rank of commander. Sir James Dunbar, Bart., late flag lieutenant to Ad miral Sir John A. Ommanney, has been promoted to the rank of commander, on the hauling down the flag of the gallant admiral as c ommander-in-chief at Devon 7 port. At the monthly examination of officers to qualify for promotion to higher ranks, and of candidates for entry into the navy, the following have passed, and have re ceived certificates, at the Royal Naval College, Ports mouth : Mates for Lieutenants—Messrs. W. G. England, Sir M. Macgregor, C. G. F. Knowles, F. M. Prattent, W. T. W. Hambly, J. R. Palmer, and F. R. Purvis. Second Masters for Masters—Messrs. T. Pounds, A. J. Armstrong, T. D. Nicholson, and J. E. Chapple. For Naval Cadets—A. H. Blair, G. H. J. Eliott, and C. B. Charlewood, from Mr. Fastman's naval establish. went ; C. A. Hayes, W. G. Scott, W. C. Shuokburgb, A. G. C. Tait, G. F. Purdon, H. S. Sandys, H. H. A'Court, J. L. Way, J. A. Errington, F. C. Baker, , and C. D. R. H. Tracy. For Masters'-Assistants.—F. Borne, J. F. Brunton, J. C. Thomas, J. Dixon, E. H. C. Smith. W. Stewart, H. H. Hannay, and C. J. Bigley. For Clerk's-Assistant.--F. A. Keogh. For Royal Marine Cadet—H. T. M. Cooper. THE MILITIA. The Wiltshire Militia will march from Devizes to morrow for Portsmouth. They will be quartered in drab b l y Haslar Barracks , on the Gos p ort side. The Nottingham shire enrolled pensioners were re viewed on Wednesday last in theriP ark, ivke Nottingham,emark y Colonel Tulloh. The veterans went through th e var i ous manceuvres with great prechion, well iu their neat uniform. NOTTINGHAM TRADE.- -The lace trade, in its main branches, still preserves that total quiescence which be gins to persuade every one that the season has passed over without producing its usual activity in business. This being the case, mercantile sagacity is tested ex tremely in attempting to probe into the causes of stag nation. Many incline to trace them to the war, and many more to the weather, whilst not a few are of opinion that the high rate of provisions, curtailing all expenditure on luxuries and superfluities—naYs on many of the necessaries of life, particularly in drar i7 ho l e clothing —has occasioned the prostrationi of thew had been market as effectually as if a sumptuaryfactt: t rers of better passed against the use of laces. l ian f u the condition to class goods complain very dullness, and large aeon which trade of the es longb e en continuedbroughtinikun: that o sequencemutation of manufacturedi stIOC inducing amongst the y . an ' unprecedented amount smaller i ca ng p . ital T i a l t o s, p r a e r su tic t u i a s r that the more independent houses can do no bussibnuharvestetermws ooledrect ff u t m he u m ch .

The im portations of silk for the month will be announced in the circulars of the 20th, but we hardly anticipate that the extraordinary average importation of the last five months will be maintained ; and the first of the new crop will not arrive until October. Already we have to hand 34,000 out of the whole annual consumption of 53,000, with the new crop still to come in.--Nottznyltam shire Guardian , . THE CHARGE OF CORRUPTION AGAINST IRISH MEN° BERS.--The select committee appointed to inquire into this charge re-assembled yesterday at twelve o'clock, and sat for several hours considering and discussing their re port. No other witness was examined ; the proceedings were again conducted with closed doors, and we are therefore unable to state what transpired. 13i b i i per coal G 3 2i 71 121 50 1 i I it iiii 41t i 31 814 4 1 6 81 21i I 70 1 826 'IV ► w v;+o.
