M oNEY Alr _A • AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. CITY, TWO o'CLOCK. The sales of cotton at Liverpool yesterday were estimated at 7,000 bales, including 1,500 American for export and on speculation. The mar ket was steady, and closed without change in prices. The sales comprised 6,000 American, 130 Pernam and Maranham at sd. to 6d., 20 Bahia at Gad., 300 Egyptian at sgd. to Bd., and 500 Surat at lid. to 4d. per lb. Railway Shares were firm. In the Produce markets this week a fair business bas been done as regards British Plantation sugar, which has realised full prices, and high rates have Irenerally been obtained for foreign. Of coffee very Kittle has been offered for sale, the market being , dull both fur plantation and native Ceylon. Costa Rica has sold steadily. Rice was very firm early in the week, but has receded since. In saltpetre a good business has been done. Tea tends slightly upward, in consequence of the news from China. Cotton has been at full rates, and tallow has been steady. Flax is held rather firmly. Prom Messrs. D. Bell, Son, and e have the subj o i ne d li s t o f prices for. United Co., gtates'.

The number of passengers is large, no lees than 100, and many influential persons are still returning, owing to the discomforts they experience from the scarcity of servants and labourers, but partly also, no doubt, in consequence of the hand some means which they have accumulated. The high price of living at Melbourne must be taken into bonsideration in any estimate of wages. Sheep, - We are told in a private letter from a gentleman of standing in the colony, were selling at 21. per head, and beef and mutton at Is. 6d. per lb., which in former days would hardly have been considered good enough for the dogs. All other expenses are said to be increasing nearly in proportion, and Many of the townspeople, therefore, had a difficulty in making both ends meet, and " without the least j particle of real comfort or enjoyment." The writer does not think that the klan of 500,0001. which the Corporation of Melbourne has been authorised to contract, nor that of Geelong for 2 C00;000/. will go far, considering the current rate of wages, and these loans will perhaps only lead the corporations into confusion, if not to a break up in the end. Accounts from Vienna state that although not half the time has yet elapsed for subscriptions to the loan, it is nearly full, and it is estimated that as there are in Austria 65,000 communes taxed at 5,000 florins each, the sum of 325,000,000 florins, os mid easily be obtained. The Russian journals publish an account of the bombardment of the monastery of Solontsky by R.M.S. Miranda, which they describe as being wholly unsuccessful. Afterwards a landing by our marines was effected at the cape in the bay of Onega, near the village of Liamitskai, and the custom house was ransacked and burnt, besides other ,government buildings being bombarded. From Finland we hear of a great scarcity of salt. The arrangements connected with the Turkish loan are not wholly completed, but if the security is issued at 80 to 82, and bear 6 per cent. interest, with the guarantee of the Egyptian indemnity to be remitted direct to London from Alexandria, we should imagine there was every prospect of suc cess', and there can he no more economical, and at th e same time efficient mode of assisting Turkey, than by a loan obtained from private capitalists. The English Stock market has been very elastic, and there have been some money purchases in New 3j • per Cents. at 94 to k. Bank Stock advanced to 214, but is now 209 again.

The S. ne weather is all powerful in sustaining prices. In Foreign Securities there is very little doing. Ntexican keep firm at 24g, and Russian 5 per Cents. have improved to par. Spanish are flatter, the Deferred at 19k, and the Certificates at sg, as there is more anxiety about the probable issue of events at Madrid.

The Railway Share Market is recovering rapidly after the late fall, and even the Great Western have evinced considerable buoyancy, despite the :statements of a reduced dividend. The London and North-Western have risen also, and in the Midland, York and Berwick, and one or two others, a good deal has been done. Foreign shares have been quiet.

DEPARTURE OF THE DIRIGO.—LIVERPOOL, Aug. 10. —The Dingo, having been thoroughly cleansed and fu migated, took her departure yesterday evening for Aus tralia with 4.20 passengers, 250 of whom sailed in her before, when .he put back with cholera on bla•rd. The emigrants were all in excellent health and spiritq. The Berlin journals of the 6th, announce that the Zing of Pru , sta is at present quite recovered from his late accident. THE TURKISH LOAN.—A Constantinople letter of the 30th ult. says :—" There have lately been held at the Porte, council after council, and sometimes even during the night. Nothing has transpired cf the grave ques tions which had .been discussed. About three weeks back a note in Turkish was handed to the Grand Vizir by Hata Pacha, tending to entrust the task of contract log a loan to the Turkish ambassadors, who were to re ceive orders to act simultaneously at Paris, London, Vienna, and Berlin, and in the hope that if Austria and Prussia refused, France and England would not have any further scruples to become the creditors of Turkey. Such is in substance the note. The result of this pro. ceedin g is unknown." PREVENTION OF CHOLERA.—The free use of disinfec. tants is highly desirable, as a preventive of cholera. We c an confidently recommend the article known as Crewe's Fluid." It is a strong solution of the chloric of zin e ; it is, moreover, chelp as well as highly effica cies,, For general use; it may be diluted with about two hundred times its volume of water. THE BALTIC FLEFT.—THE ORIGIN OF A NICKNAME.— " Some future editor of Notes and Queries," writes an officer from the Naval Forces, " will perhaps attribute the title of Nixies ' given by the sailors to the guns on board the A.niphion, and several other ships of the Fleet ; to the fact that th e y were ready and prepared for I Ciobolas of Russia. However plausible such a definition 'de night appea r it would not be the correct one, this noes nique, as the French express it, having simply arisen from the sailors polishing the guns with Nixey's chemical black lead, which, giving them a surprisin g brilliancy and preventing rust, is hence a great favourite with the crews, by whom anything which serve s to enhance the neatness and trim of their respective vessels is especially esti mated."

WINDSOR, Thursday Night.—This morning an express arrived from the Horse Guards, bearing despatches an nouncing the final decision on the charge of assault brought against Lieutenant Perry and tried before Colonel the Hon. James Lindsay, M.P., and a general court-martial, at the Infantry Barracks, Windsor, on the 12th, 13th, and 14th ult. A respectful application to Col. Garrett (through the adjutant of the regiment) met with the following reply--that the colonel had, per sonally, no objection to the publication of the docu ment, but he did not feel himself at liberty to fur nish a copy, or allow it to be copied. He added that Lieutenant Perry had been supplied with a copy, and he bad no doubt would gladly afford every facility for its publication. Lieutenant Perry, who is on his parole of honour, and is understood to have been busily engaged all day preparing his defence at the private residence of his solicitor (Mr. Darvill), the Hatch, near Maidenhead, was also applied to, but, for some inexplicable reason, had returned no answer up to the time when the report was desPatched. The decision was read over to the officers of the 46th this morning and communicated to Lieut. Perry about midday, he having come,to the barracks for the purpose of receiving it, immediately after which ho returned to the Hatch. The substance of the decision was as follows :—The first court-martial found Lieut. Perry guilty of the charge, and sentenced him to be dismissed from the ser vice. The Judge Advocate-General, however, on care fully perusing the evidence, found that certain questions had been put which ought to have been taken ; and the right hon. gentleman recommended her Majesty not to confirm the sentence. The sentence was unconfirmed, and Lieut. Perry consequently released from the charge. The protest handed in yesterday, and rejected by the court, was to the effect that Lieut. Perry wanted only his own letter and Lieut. Shervinton's reply, in order that . he might cross-examine Captain Campbell upon them, and he protested against any other letters being received or entered upon the minutes. The court, after deliberation, decided that the letters all referred to one transaction, and that the whole or none of them should be read. The whole of them were read and entered upon the minutes. Yesterday Lieut. Greer, on the application of Mr. G. H. Long, his solicitor, was released from arrest, on his parole of honour, and now enjoys the same privile ges ! as Lieut. Perry. Th e fi na l d ec i s i on i n Lieut. (Greer 's case has not yet arrived, but is daily expected. The friends of Lieut. Perty speak confidently of their ability to prove the whole of the charges contained in his letter to Colonel Upton, as well as those in bis evi dence, and letter to Colonel Pipon, relative to Captain Nicholas, and the defence is looked forward to with in tense interest. LITERATURE. • will at length be more than conquerors.' " In such a cause enthusiasm is not misplaced, and with such sentiments eloquence has a theike for its exer cise and an end for its powers, than which none could be better or more lasting. " Vivia" contains reflections and principles that distinguish it as one of the standard efforts that appear occasionally amid the host of transitory and ephemeral fictions of the day. It is not written for any peculiar epoch or individual class.

It is long since so pleasing and fascinating a novel has been presented to the public. A spirit kindred to its name seems to pervade its pages, fresh, vigorous, and brilliant. Its style is characterised alternately by melancholy and vivacity; while the retrospective twilight in which the scenes appear renders them solemn and subdued. The writer of the Journal is a lady who employs the evening of her days in collecting and arranging the many interesting and exciting details in which she was concerned in life's meridian, However, although she had been sister, wife, and mother, it is not in connection with any of these ties that she appears before us. Her own immediate circle soon passed away from her. Her husband and children died; her brother went away to India while she was a child, and she never saw him again. Mrs. Lyle was one of those Beings, however, who have always some objects in whom to centre their regard, and to whom to devote their services and attentions. So entire was her sympathy for her adopted child ren that the reader forgets in her excitement and eagerness for their welfare that they are not really her own. The career of Vivia, the heroine, and the god-dau g ht er of Mrs. Lyle, was an extraordi nary' one. She was born to rank and fortune, but circumstances which alienated her advanta ;es of wealth also shut her out from participating in the sphere she seemed formed to grace and adorn. In her god-mother and guardian she had always a friend and a solace. She needed her, for every one else seemed to desert her. Her brother plunged into all sorts of extravagances, and she was forced to leave their beautiful paternal estate. A heavier trial than this, he to whom she had attached herself with all the devotion of a young girl's first affection, suddenly left her for one who . had been till within a few weeks a stranger, and who had professed for her a sisterly sympathy and regard. In the description of this dramatic portion of the narrative the authoress has shown great skill. Blanche, the traitress, stealing in serpent-like into the midst of the little circle in which she, a stranger, had been taken in—Godfrey, his eyes sharpened by jealousy, driven wild by the injustice done to his sister, and at the same time prevented by overwhelming obligations from taking that high and commanding course his feelings dic tated—Mrs. Lyle herself, seeing all, or suspecting all at least, had no legal or natural right to inter fere ; she was only the friend of the family, and she felt it would only hasten instead of retarding the catastrophe. Vivia herself, above all, claims atten tion. She was aware of the danger before any one else had thought of it ; but with the knowledge came also the conviction of despair. As nothing was wrong openly, and no visible demonstration was apparent, it was impossible for her to speak or to act without compromising her purity and pro priety of demeanour. Still, not many could have equalled Vivia in her calm endurance. She made no one her confidant, and she betrayed no sign of her heavy trouble. She went about with a serene and smiling manner. Outwardly there was a re semblance in those two young maidens dwelling to gether. Blanche and Vivia were similar in being cheerful and composed. In what consisted the in ward difference how great a gulf lay between the two hypocrisies their fellow -mortals could hardly estimate. One hiding her evil designs under the mask of friendliness, the other concealing by a powerful control the sorrow and shame that pos sessed her, fearing no enemy so much as her own heart. When at last, the blow fell suddenly, Vivia, though overcome, was not surprised ; and when she could calm herself a littl e, s h e felt that hers was, after all, the gain, and Blanche's the loss. She for a few brief years of early youth might mourn, but only for herself; for the unworthy object of her attachment she could not feel respect, but with every sigh of disappointment would come a sensa tion of relief at the fate she had escaped. Blanche, on the contrary, had united herself to one who had forfeited the good opinion of every honest man from that time, and she was set out on a course with misery for her guide, and sooner or later an awful goal to be the termination. To add to the dilemma in which all parties were placed, Blanche was the niece of Mrs. Lyle, the daughter of her only brother, who sent her home, when he was dying, for his sister to adopt. It was a sad be quest, for a brother so long estranged from his family, to leave to his sister, who had always been wishing to hear of him, or from him, for long I years. Mingled with disappointment in the mind of Mrs. Lyle there was a feeling of reproach that she should have allowed her niece to be in the way of her other child, the far dearer one, whom she watched over from her earliest ekistence. Per haps it was the knowledge of this that first led the far-seeing Blanche to step in to mar all peace. She angrily taunted her aunt, in one of their dis putes, with the fact that a stranger was dearer to her than the child of her own blood, and the bitter spirit with which this was uttered showed that it was no newly-formed complaint. It was a change, but a sad one, for the unhappy Vivia, to have to leave her mother's house to strangers, and return to live with Mrs. Lyle, at the residence of the lat ter, the Grange. After such a glowing summer of life and love, it was hard to turn away in winter from the shadows of past pleasures. After a cheer ful little circle had been assembled around her, Vivia had to go as an outcast from hope, and home, and happiness. " The Christmas of this year was a trying one indeed, but we knew that the soft green leaves of coming spring were even then folded up in the bare and dssalate-looking branches—we tried to look hopefully forward, knowing that the dark est cloud which overshadows human life may often appear the brightest to the angels who watch over us from the sunward side of heaven." A brighter and better future was indeed in store for the deserving heroine than she or her friends supposed. It is not often that the novelist is suc cessful in delineating the rise and progress of a second attachment. It is not likely that it should often be genuine in real life ; but there are cases, and this one here mot with is pre-eminently one in which it seems natural and truthful. Vivia, had been engaged so soon that her emotions and im pulses were hardly defined to herself even—she loved deeply, but still with a girlish feeling ; she had not studied the nature of her sentiment, and, as we have seen, she had not long preserved respect for the character of her lover. When once her confidence was gone, she gave up the place in her heart, she uprooted the unworthy idol, and, though she felt grieved to hear of his subsequent misfor tunes, it was with pity not " akin to love" that she contemplated his career. Had ho acted honour ably, had he avowed to her the change in his at tachment, and gone away for a time before pro posing to Blanche—had he shunned both and de parted, she would have felt differently. It is probable that then his image would never have been dethroned in her fancy, that to the last hour of her life it would have lingered in the freshest and purest tablets of her memory, keeping alive in old age the vitality of youth, and shining with a lustre that will outlast bodily and mental decay. However, no halo of imagination, and no light of reason, could throw a charm or shed a glory in the path of the false one, who, in one short hour, sat by her side full of a lover's eager vows and protesta- I tions, and then hastened to the fatal rendezvous with her enemy. After the lapse occasioned by so much suffering, it was not against the law of natural feelings that she should again form au at tachment. She could not be so excited again, it is true, but she was more earnest ; she began se condly, where she had the first time left off, with respect. She was charmed with Lord Clarenham, everything fascinated her, but constantco c mni ship showed the thorn in the roses; she o With his pualdnoont look up to or appreciate his character. cousin, on the contrary, all different.

It is true that such a slow and steep ascent for aff ec ti on is not in accordance with romance, or exactly what the unworldly heroine is supposed to care for. But Vivia was no sentimentalist then. Her fairy palace had crumbled, and her golden apples turned to dust and ashes. Of the earth —earthy had been her first engagement. In a second she sought for reality, and not idealism ; for what would be dura ble for time, and desirable in its influence for eter nity; that should have a basis tb rest upon of re spect and congeniality, that no chance or change could affect or destroy. This being a memoir, our farewell is not taken at the altar, and we are en abled to see that Vivia was not mistaken in her choice. After many years there was still light shining in her path, and glory beaming on her prospects. Mary Herbert is a very engaging cha racter, not rendered too good as some superior in dividuals appear in real life, but honest and straightforward in her life and actions. Her last hours are given in the conclusion in a touching manner. She was a friend to all in distress and suffering ; her fate was not very► prosperous, but she made her happiness by soothing the misery of others, and in relieving their poverty she found her riches. A pure and perfect faith in what is good and great seems to animate the spirits and exalt the thoughts of the authoress. In the final passage she exhorts her readers to energy and devotion. cc on, fellow-pilgrims ! t r a ve ll ers on the m ysterious highway, whose cours e l ea d s through the dark on, walk river to the gates of the he aven ly city, w . bravely and fearlessly ! and in the great_bawttelearyof life, though you may often stumble, often be ~ perhaps even b e wounded well-ugh e, todea;lb yo u THE TURKISH LOAN. The result of the new negotiations for a Turkish loan will be watched with interest. Former circumstances have damaged its prospects, but more from the confused impressions they have left than from any clear concep=, Lion of their precise nature. These, however, should be understood. It was nearly three years back—viz., on the 31st of October, 1851, that Turkey first attempted to become a borrower. For some years the currency of the country had experiencegl depreciation, and, to re store it, the Bank of Constantinople was authorised by the Ministry to contract a loan of 2,000,000/. The terms arranged at London and Paris were for a Six per Cent. Stock at par, guaranteed by the Government, and to be reimbursed in 23 years at 1201. Consols at that time were at 100, and the reliance upon the honour of Turkey was such that the scrip of the new bonds, in the course of a few weeks, advanced to 11i premium, with the prospect of a further rise. Rumours, however, be came prevalent that the terms were considered too one rous at Constantinople, and that they would be disas vowed on the ground that the Turkish Plenipotentiary at Paris had exceeded his authority, and that the scrip had been issued without the final warrant of an Impe rial firman. For some months the question remained in abeyance, but it was eventually settled by the return of their money to the scripholders, with a bonus of about 3 per cent. After this, no further proposals were heard of until December last, when Namik Pasha visited Paris and London, and arranged the details of a loan of 2, 200,0001., one half of which was to have been subscribed by the Credit Mobilier, with the sanction of the Frencha Government, and the other half in London. To the as tonishment of every one, however, the proper firman ap peared again in this case to be wanting, and the nego tiations were broken off. Finally, on the 23d of March last, little more than four months ago, Messrs. Rothss child announced the completion of terms comprising a loan of 2,200,0001. in a Six per Cent. stock at 85, re deemable in 15years. Consols at that time were at 89/, and on the following morning hasty quotations of the scrip were made at 3 prem. It soon, however, declined to 1 to 2 prem., and the declaration of war, which ap peared five days afterwards, having sent Consols in a that the pro posals to 85 1 ,-, the public withdrew from subscrib ing, down ing it a i n s d by th t e h affair ff lightai r woats these e c carried further. It involveposals n towwoabout points.to be First, p thefort h e xmteunsttobfe discredit considered.Th inflicted e y by the disavowal of the original contract in 1851; and next the present position of Turkey, as regards her ability to fulfil any engagement she may contract, compared with what it was at that period. In respect to the first loan, there is no question as to the correctness of her asser tion that it was issued prematurely, so far as concerns the absence of the firman which was necessary to its ultimate validity: But the charge against her was that, although the contractors might have been to some extent wanting in vigilance, they committed no error, except as they were misled by all the high functionaries of the Sultan ; and, moreover, that no notice was given to them of any irregularity until the loan had been many weeks in the market at a large premium, and part of the proceeds had 'absolutely been received by the Turkish Government, and applied to the exigencies of the State. The hour for cancelling the bargain on any other terms than that of paying its full value to the holders, namely, 11 per cent. premium, had therefore passed, and it was contended by those who most sincerely desired to see Turkey sustain at any cost her traditional honour, that nothing short of this would satisfy the requirements of the case. Instead of 11 per cent. premium, however, she limited herself to the pay ment of 3 per cent., returning at the same time princi pal and interest in full. To the extent of that allowance the English public were clear gainers by the transaction, although individual holders who had purchased at the highest quotation sustained severe loss. This, however, is no justification, any more than if a man who had sold Consols to an agent at 90 were to deny the power of that agent, and to refuse to deliver them after they had for some time risen to 94, offering one per cent. in settle ment of the speculation. But it must be remembered that the charge, even under any aspect, is not that Turkey dishonoured any direct and legal debt, but that she failed, at a moment of great internal perplexity, to act up to the highest construction of a novel and peculiar question of financial equity. The disavowal of the loan is well known to have been the work of the reactionary party who soon afterwards came temporarily into office, and who had evidently acted under the demoralising in fluences of Russian intrigue. It is also known that in the absence of Lord Stratford the Porte received even English advice to the effect that the step it proposed was all that could be fairly required, while there were portions of the press in this country who were likewise disposed to consider that the Stock RTA9nge were attempting an exaction. That those were the real friends of Turkey who pointed out the stern conditions she owed has since been fully proved, the result of her imperfect course, by which she saved a few thous a nd pounds, havi ng in flicted; more damage on her credit than Russia has ever sustained from her daring confis cation of a large portion of the debt on her paper cur rency. It is one thing, however, to look at the question in au abstract form, and another to test it by com parison. All that can be said of Turkey is, that in this instance she was untrue to her awn reputation. Com pared with what might have been expected, under similar circumstances, from most foreign countries, the transaction is one that will stand high. Mississippi, Michigan, Florida, and Arkansas, four of the most thriving States of the American Union, dispute the technical form in which their loans were contracted, and, instead of discussing nice points as to the terms on which they may cancel their bargains, retain both prin cipal and interest. With this glance at the moral points of her case, it only remains to consider the change in the political pro spects of Turkey, since the date when her securities were loaked upon as worth a premium of 11 per cent. At that moment the Emperor of Russia was not alone in regarding her as a dying p a ti en t. Sh e i s now victorious in the field, and, at the same time, has introduced those changes in her institutions upon which alone her rege neration was considered to depend. It has been shown also that whatever cnivulsions may take place in Europe, the one point on which all the Powers are united is that Turkey shall not become the prey of any one of them, and that thus, as far as external forces can operate, her independence is more secure than that of any other country. Finally, there is the fact, that she is almost alone in the advantage of being without a public debt. Doubtless there is enough in the heterogeneous elements in spire, even her population and other circumstances to even when the whole of these things are estimated, a full amount of that caution with which all foreign bor rowers, especially at this moment, should be regarded ; but it is, nevertheless, desirable in every sense that she should not, in her financial operations , have to contend, among other difficulties, with the consequences of pre judice or misrepresentation.—Times City Article.

She is at present taking her coals on board in the basin at We The machinery for the six new gun-boats—Pelter, Pinch er, Ranger, Snapper, Gleaner, and Ruby—four of which are now building in Pitcher's yard, Northfleet, and tl .o at Deptford dockyard, is now more than half completed. They are of extraordinary steam power on the hig b pressure principle and nomcondensing. These vessels. are of light draught of water, and of very heavy armaim eat, and will in all probability. realise more com pletely the true idea of what gunboats are required to be in et very useful respect. The whole of the machinery will b e ready to put into them immediately they are launc . b ed. THE WHITE SEA. SQUADRON. W( have intelligence from Captain Onimanney to the 15th of July.

Pri iice Radzivill, a general in the Prussian army, ac comp a nied by his son, visited Portsmouth dockyard yeste . relay morning, and was conducted over it by the super ititendent of police, the higher officials seemingly cold-k I;houldering the doubtful visitor. He was shown the pi 7. incipal objects in the establishment, and afterwards want i►n board her Majesty's ship Colossus, to see a trial of flu ti ship's machinery ; but it was not done, although steam was up at an early hour, no one attending from the Cl ►:ntractor's to start the engines. To compensate the gallan .t Prussian for his disappointment, however, he was i n , vited to an excellent dejeuner by Captain Robin son an, d his officers, and he seemed to enjoy the promp to entertainment very much. THE GOLDEN FLEECE. The General Screw Company's transport steam-ship Go'oleo Fleece, Captain Scales, left Southampton Docks yeste trday afternoon, and ha. 4 brought up in the river, previous to her departure for the East. She has on board a large quantity of artillery stores for Circassia and ao similar amount of provisions for the fleet ; 30 men a zud a few officers have also embarked. She was to sail lailt evening, calling at Plymouth en route, for the purger ie of taking on board the 21st Regi►nemt. M 013,11 TROOPS AND TRANSPORTS FOR THE WAR. Th ere is a report in circulation that 6,000 more troops are to be despatched to the East, as soon as they can be got rcts:dy. The Government have hired the Mauritius, another of the splendid iron 1800 -ton screw-steamers of the General Screw Company, for conveyance of troops and stores. The supercession of the sailing ships by such ships as the Perseverance, Urgent, Golden Fl eece, &e., is a wise and economical measure. Whilst it ,was possible that a demonstration could effect a pacification, it was, perhaps, advisable to have sail ing transport:3 rather than to purchase or build screw ships for their own service ; but now that we have, or are about to have, no less than 100,000 soldiers engaged in actual occupation of an enemy's country, we must have as Government property the means of transport and supply for this great army. SAPPERS AND MINERS FOR TURKEY. A party of the Royal Sapper s and Miners, consisting of 21 men, left Chatham, on Wednesday, for Woolwich, to join the sth company, which is to proceed to Corfu, and there to complete its full establishment. It is to be made up from No. 3 company at that station ; it w ill then proceed to Turkey. THE 94TH REGIMENT FOR THE BALTIC.

THE MILITIA AND YEOMANRY, The Essex Rifles, Colonel Lord Jocelyn, have received orders to hold themselves in readiness to leave the Tower on Tuesday. It has not been officially stated, but it is confidently asserted that the regiment proceeds to Windsor.

I stated at Leeds that I was present with the 46th Regiment at the time when the circumstances alluded to in the letter signed " Zat Justitia" are said to have taken place. I retired from the 46th Regiment in April last.— I have the honour to be your most obedient servant, JOHN H. CHAMBERS, Captain 4th West York Militia. Everton, August 9. THE COUNT-MARTIAL ON LIEUTENANT PERRY. In another column will be found the last report of the Court-Martial at Win&or. If anything could add to the ignominy which the 46th Regiment has suffered by the publication of the evidence given during the proceedings against Lieutenant Perry, it would be found in the fact that the Queen has been -al vised by the Judge-Advocate not tocofirm the sentence pronounced by the first court-martial. This sentence found Lieutenant Perry guilty of the charge made against him, and dismissed him from the service. The Judge-Advocate decided, however, that certain questions had been put which ought to have been rejected, and certain evidence refused which ought to have been taken. Her Majesty, in accordance with the opinion of the Judge-Advocate, has refused to confirm the sentence. Can there be a more blistering condemnation of the whole proceedings than this ? The defenders of court martials say that there can be nothing more fair than trials in such courts. They even quote the opinion of the late Captain Marryatt i❑ support of their assertion. In spite of this, the Sovereign, with a wise deference to the opinion of a legal authority, does not hesitate to brand the whole process of such a court in a certain case with unfairness. They have received evidence—to the prejudice of the prisoner —which they ought not to have received. They have rejected evidence in favour of the prisoner, which they ought to have received. On the supposition, however, that justice should have any thing at all to do with the final settlement of the matter, what other result could have been expected ? Why was the trial allowed to go on so long to the utter prejudice of almost every one concerned. Since the days of the trial of Queen Caroline, when the perjured Italian witness took refuge against every unpleasant question in the eternal " Non mi ricordo" (I don't recollect")—has there ever been seen anything like the lack of memory displayed by these military wit nesses when questioned as to any subject which it would have been unpleasant to remember? When asked if they had made use of expressions which would have defiled the mouth of any gentleman who uttered them, or if they had been guilty of conduct which would over whelm a gentleman with disgrace, they did not think of meeting the inquiry with an indignant negative, but contented themselves with a simple " I don't recollect." " I don't recollect whether I was guilty of vulgarity, obscenity, or blasphemy ; I don't recollect whether I behaved more childishly than an infant in a public school, more brutally than a drunken costermonger !" Is there any other body of men in England who cannot recollect whether they have committed crimes and cruelties ? The witnesses have condemned themselves ; it is but right that the Sovereign should confirm the con , demnation.—Daily Naas. CREMORNE GARDENS.—The Thames Regatta, this week, has proved a great feature in the annals of Cre morne, and the success which has attended the great aquatic gathering has been in a great degree facili tated by the conveniences which have been most handsomely afforded by the proprietor of the esta blishment. After the close of the regatta yesterday— the greater part of the company repaired to Ore morne Gardens, to witness the distribution of the prizes. This ceremony was performed in a most felicitous man ner by the Lord Mayor, who was accompanied by the Lady Mayoress (who also asssisted in awarding the prizes), Sir Chapman and Lady Marshall, Alderman Kennedy, Alderman Rose, and many other members of the corporation their ladies. The prizes were distri buted in the circus attached to Cremorne Gardens, which was most elegantly and brilliantly fitted up for the occa sion. The Lord Mayor and party occupied thegtoyal box. Soon after the distribution of the prizes the Lord Mayor, who throughout the day met with a most enthu siastic reception, took his departure.. In addition to this attraction the whole resources of the establishment were called into requisition, and a programme, well worthy of the occasion, was put forth bythe enterprising proprietor. To describe all the various entertainments. would require greater space than our limits will permit, but it is sufficient to state that everything passed off in a most satisfactory manner, especially the ballet, the cirque, and the comique exhibition of the dogs and mon keys. The entertainment, as usual, concluded by a brilliant pyrotechnic display, in the course of which Mddle. Essler made her terrific rope ascent. The gar dens were brilliantly illuminated, and their appearance, when lighted up, makes one of the most magnificent scenes which it is possible to witness. The evening was delightfully fine, and the company most nu merous. Firm—Yesterday morning a large stack of buildings, formerly a double sugar house, situate on the eas t side of Old Fish-street-hill, Upper Thames-street, w ere p artl y destroyed by fire. They were in the joint occupation fessrs of. Messrs. Fitch and Sons, fancy paper colourcrs , Terrey and Co., packing-case makers, and Messrs. Broad and Co., engineers and gasfitters. Th broke out about half-past 7 o clock , originated fire at h ed: which o e n the third floor, which, with two upper floors, were por tion belonging to Messrs Fitch ; but from what cause no idea. could be formed. Within a very short time of its discovery the flames bad possession of the whole of the three floors, and descended to those beneath with sur prising rapidity. Th e warehouses of Messrs. Chambers and rnishing ironmongers, and those of Messrs. Norris, Co.,. 4holesale stationers, both of which adjoined the one on fire, sustained much damage. Part only of the property was insured. LIVERPOOL, Thursday.—The new' screw steam-ship City of Philadelphia—built to supply the place 'of the unfortunate City of Glasgow—left Greenock for this port this morning at three o'clock, and is expected in the Mersey at nine p.m. She is commanded by .Captain Robert Leitch, late of the City of Manchester, and will sail on her first trip to Philadelphia on Wednesday next. The General Screw Steam Shipping Company have definitively resolved to open a service between South ampton, Havre, Bremen, and New York, for which pur pose five of their vessels 1,800 tons each, withdrawn from heir Indian route, are to be iggaediately employed.
