In spring, they all till the ground and fish ; in summer, they fish and carry provisions up and down the Bothnian Gulf, and act as pilots : as autumn comes on, they gather their harvests, and, I later on, fell wood and salt cattle - for use and sale, and carry fuel and the mail, when to all others the Gulf is impassable. Every child among them knows every rock, and creek, and channel of the curious labyrinth amidst which they • live. Every man can build a hut ; and every woman can row, and skate, and defend her pro perty against the wolves. These people have for so long shown themselves up to everything, that we can not think it by any means a desperate lot for French and English soldiers and sailors to pass a winter among them —if it' should be thought necessary to do so. As they trade in food and fuel all the winter through, even up to Tomes, they may surely be good 'neighbours to any power that they consider friendly which may hold the citadel of Bomarsund this winter. And the Czar is doing everything he can to make the islanders prefer us to him. He has taken all their strong men to serve in the forts ; he has burned their dwellings, and even their woods and crops ; he has laid bare their soil all around Bomarsund, so that the old men, women, and ohildren cannot pass the winter there. But there are other islands at hand, whence help may be had, or to which the houseless peasants may go for shelter : and they are very rich just now. Sir C. Napier has fixed so liberal a tariff for the supplies drawn from those islands that the inhabitants will doubtless be very glad to see us settled among them, instead of the Russians, who cut off boys' heads for taking our money. Of money they have plenty just now; and they are only 25 miles from the Swedish coast, where they can buy timber to make them ' selves new huts, as soon as the Russians are gone. Their market boats will be passingall the autumn in our service; and more than the autumn. It must be remembered that the climate is far milder in those islands than at parallel points of the mainland. When the Finnish har bours are frozen hard, there are always some among the islands that are open. There are always channels or bays where the ice is thin and brittle ; and between the Swedhih coast and the islands it is a very rare thing in deed for the ice to be trustworthy for the whole distance. The people do not stay at home on that account. Between boat and sledge—between rowing, hauling, and marching, they convey themselves and their goods ; and the accidents are surprisingly few, as the regularity of the mails may show. Naturally enough, the people are extremely weather-wise, and here again is our advantage in being-in their good graces. They can always tell, and will be glad for their own sakes to do it, this next win ter, when a passage over the Gulf is practicable fur boat, man, or beast. They know when to expect the wolves from , the Finnish shore to devour the game and farm stock of their islands ; and they can therefore guide our soldiers to an expectation of the arrival of the human wolves whom the Czar is reported able to produce at Christmas. They keep themselves so safe and comfortable the winter through, that it is difficult to conceive why they should not show our men how to keep themselves safe and comfortable too. The citadel once taken (it may probably be ours by this time), there is a good stout mass of buildings for the accommodation of several thousand men. The peasants stuff the chinks of their houses with moss and earth ; and, when the winter fairly sets in, bank up the snow against the outer wails, light good fires within, and come oat so thoroughly warm as to be fit for an expedition to Sweden. Why should our well-fed men be less hearty and comfortable —within their stout walls, with food at command, and fuel, and proper clothing ? It is nothing to compare with the hardships that our troops and seamen have undergone in former wars. To say nothing of Polar expeditions, Cape Breton was a far worse station ; and so were many others in Canada, and in Oregon, and on many a desolate shore of the globe. Inhabited islands can never be so rigid, and desolate as the frozen wastes of any continent. If the allied troops and seamen in the Baltic are allowed a good victory be fore winter to warm their hearts, they will pass the cold months cheerily enough—though there is no answering for the consequen-,es of a chilling of their moral ardour. Give them a least of sympathy and fame from homy, and they will do very well. Depress them by a sense of disappointment, spreading from themselves into their country and their families, and the frost may benumb instead of inspiriting them. This ought to be a promi nent consideration with commanders who are appointing troops to winter in the islands of the Baltic. , As for the notiop of military operations —of an invasion of Bomarsund from Russia in the winter—it seems to most people too 'absurd to merit many words. Because an army has crossed the Sound, with artillery and. stores, it is hastily concluded that the same thing may happen again. But this is a case in which such a thing having happened once is the very reason why it 'should not happen again. Such an expedition could succeed only by a surprise—only in a season of prolonged blick-frost -- only after a well-masked survey—only when th'e party to be attacked had no advantage from the good will of the native population,—only when the ice was as reliable on the further as on the nearer coast,—only when a good many more things may be depended on which are not at all likely to concur on more than one occasion. The Aland people will know the state of the ice quite as well as any Russian scouts, The Allies will cer tainly not be caught by a surprise. There are many chances to one against the season favouring even the setting out of such an expedition ; and much more improbable is it that there will not be open har bours, and creeks, and channels which may be improved into a very effectual trench by the labour at command. Our' stout fellows would enjoy keeping a trench open, oy axe, saw, and even powder— w h e th er t h e foe on the other side be wolves or cubs of the great Russian Bear. Tney will invent infernal machines to blow up the iee, and make shorter work of it than the Czar has yet done with our ships. An ice rampart or trench might be be made at much less cost of toil and human life than the ice palace of a former Czar, or than that edifice, heated like an oven because Nicholas was impatient, where the workmen were made to wear caps of ice after scores of their comrades had fallen from their scaffolds and died in brain fever. In time of peace, both French ' and Englishmen have done harder things than holding the Aland Isles through a winter against a discouraged foe. If it should be necessary to hold them, it can of course be done. - If the Russians are to march from St. Petersburg on the ice, the transit is perilously long. Who can tell what the wintry winds of the Gulf of Fin land are, away from from the shelter of the forests? The coast road is not like that of the steppes. It is sub ject to avalanches and all manner of impractica unities. The drollest notion of all is of an army of skaters—of thousands of men balancing themselves on an edge like Mabomet's bridge, against the guns of a fortification. British soldiers and sailors are fond of quoits and ninepins ; and never did they see such a game as they would have with an advance corps of Russian skaters who should venture within range. Surely it must -be skids—snow-shoes=and not skates, that the alarmists mean. Either way, men who have not the free use of their feet have little chance — whatever be their numbers—on the ice, against blue, green, or red-coated soldiers, behind a wall, standing on the soles of their own feet, and with ground under them which will not bring them down on their 'noses after every shot which they have balanced themselves to achieve. Bomarsuud and the Aland Islands can be held all the winter if it be wise and desirable to hold them. (Prom, the Times.) Although we have not yet received any authentic account of the operations which doubtless commenced in the course of last week at the Isles of Aland and against the 'fortress of Bornarsund, we are already in possessi)n of information which enables us to offer some remarks on this remarkable enterprise. The group of islands lying about 25 miles from the coast of Sweden and 15 from that of Finland, in the Gulf of Bothnia, is known to the Finns by the name of ";Alwennanmaa." It con sists of no less than 80 inhabited, and 200 uninhabited islets, the largest of which is about 18 miles iu length by 14 in breadth. On this island the fortress of Bomar sund has been constructed , by the Russians within the last 20 years, and it is here that the French army of the Baltic, supported by the marines of the British fleet, is now engaged in the first important operation of the war. The fortress itself is said to be large enough to shelter an army of 60,000 men within the range of its guns, and we are assured that 10,000 labourers were empioyed in the construction of the works (luring that portion of the year when it is possible to build in so severe a climate. We cannot, however, vouch for the accuracy of these numbers ; but it is certain that the place is one of con• siderabie extent and strength, capable of containing a large garrison, and not likely to be taken without the operations of a regular siege. The principal fortress consists of a double tier of semicircular casetnated batteries fronting the sea, mounting at least 80 heavy guns, but this fort does not appear to be armed on the side of the land. At a distance pf about 1,000 yards from the principal fortress and from the shore are three mounds or hillocks, two of which are fortified as detached works, mounting about 20 guns. That to the north is called Fort Nottich, and is 130 feet high ; that to the south is called the Tzee Fort ; the central mound is used for a telegraph station. These works bear almost the same relation to the main fort of Bamarsund as the forts of Arab Tabja and Medjidjie bore to the town of Silistria. To attack these works it is supposed that the land forces will advance in two divisions. The brigade from the north will consist of 2,000 French in fantry, 100 sappers and miners, 600 marines, 16 heavy 32-pounders, four field pieces, and one rocket company, being the force destined to attack Fort Nottich in the first instance. The brigade from the south will consist of 3,000 French infantry and 30 heavy siege guns, under the command of General Baraguay D'Hil liers in person, and will attack the Tzee Fort. The interest of the position of the enemy and of the siege consists in the reduction of these detached forts, . and in thia operatj.on the ships can take no fictive part. Thii fact establishes - two points of considerable in. , . terest to our maritime operations in the Baltic. It is clear, in the first place, that in the shallow waters and difficult passes of that inland sea our great three-deckers can hardly ever be brought sufficiently near to the enemy's works to bear upon them with effect. The block-ships and heavy frigates are alone able to go into harbours of this description, and it was not without rea son that on the occasion of the Baltic expeditions of 1800 and 1807 all the ships ' selected for that service were second or third , rates. The use of such ships as the, Duke of Wellington, the St. Jean d'Acre, and the Neptune in the Baltic is to keep the Russian fleet in check, and the manner in which these huge vessels have been landled by our masters and pilots is such as to call forth the warmest eulogiums from the Russians themselves. But, secondly, Admiral Napier has very wisely abstained from measuring the broadsides of any of his ships against the batteries of a granite fortress, and, in s pit e of all that has been said on this subject, the result of the experiments made in this war is decidedly favourable to land fortifications against marine artillery. The opinion of the Duke of Welling ton is thus confirmed, who said in the House of Lords, after the successful attack on St. Jean d'Acre in 1840, that it must not be supposed that ships were a match for well-defended batteries. The Admirals appear to have resolved to act upon this principle, and, although hollow shot and shell will be thrown against Botnarsund at a long range, it cannot be their intention to attempt the reduction of the p lace . b y breaching the sea front. We have no doubt this resolution is perfectly consistent with sound judgment and with the rules. of war. The operations is therefore converted into a siege by land, and that this was the intention of the Allied Go vernments is shown by the fact that feoin 10,000 to 12,000 infantry and artillerymen were oinbaried, that a batter ing train was sent, and that two of the ablest engineer officers of the French and English armies were reserved for this service. The troops were all landed on the Bth inst. on a part of the island distant about 3 miles from the fortress. The Russian garrison, which is supposed to consist of 3,500 men, made no attempt to defend the adjacent coasts, but retires within the walls, having *rst set fire to the woods, which might otherwise have supplied the enemy with timber, and to' the villages, which might have furnished provisions. The islands, however, are said to c on t ain a b out 14,000 head of cattle, and fish is most abundant in the' creeks or bays. The French train of siege artillery arrived at Led Sund some days after the troops, .and, in addition to these pieces of ordnance, some of the lower deck guns of the ships have been furnished with platforms, and prepared for use on land, as was done with effect at the siege of St. Sebastian. We expect, however, to learn both from Bornarsund and from Sebastopol (when the attack on that place has commenced) that the natur e of the soil will in both instances be found extremely unfavourable to ordinary siege operations. The Aland Islands are nodules of granite, barely covered with a scanty layer of earth, and it is p ro b a bl e that Bomarsund itself is built on a foundation of rock, and the detached forts on rocky mounds. At any rate, the ground is supposed to be too hard for the place to be easily approached by open trenches or covered mines ; and, if that be the case, the besiegers must have recourse to the imperfect shelter of sandbags and abattis, and the place will not be taken without serious loss. If we are correct in these data, it may be a question for the engineers directing the siege, and for General Baraguay d'Hilliers, the Com mander-in-Chief, whether an attack on one of the forts by escalade is not more likely to prove successful than a protracted siege. The peculiarity of places in so northern a latitude and so cold a region is, that they cannot be perma nently hold ntlyinovnetstfeodra e invested, anedrtathine number r n o k f n m ow on t t h hs that theif they ap proach of winter must compel the assailants to raise the siege. But, supposing the place to be taken by the allied forces, can it be held during the ensuing winter ? That is a question to which we can give no positive answer. It sometimes happens, though not every year, that the Sound of Wattuskiftet, which divides the Aland Isles from Finland, is completely frozen over, as it was in 1809, when Buxhovden's army crossed and lit their bivouac fires on the solid ice. The Russians, moreover, are better prepared than we can be for a winter cam paign, because they are used to the climate, and would be within a few miles' of their base of operations. To hold the Aland Isles with security during the winter, we ought to be assured of the co-operation of Sweden, at least in as far as that possession is concerned, which so nearly affects the safety and independence of her own capital ; for, whatever be the ultimate effect of this expedition on the policy of Russia, it is certain that the capture and possible destruction of an important fortress erected at a vast expense for the purpose of securing the' domain of Russia, not only over Finland and the Gulf of Bothnia, but in a manner over Stockholm itself, is an event of the deepest interest to the Swedish nation. We are unwilling to say anything having a tendency to urge that brave and patriotic peollir to take an active part in the war, until it is distinctly seen what assistance and securities the Western -States may have it in their power to afford to their northern ally ; and, on the i S ty ta a te n s d c t o h n e se o n b t lig to at t i alc ones they must b e well au o rp t i h os other g h t h a oe n um d t , 7ol b fv e e f ss o u r e at hh the satisfied of its object and p ro b a bl e resu l ts. e n r e Ws alliance,l'sntsei W e stern 14111MMINMIIM T E WAR NAVAL AND MILITARY INTELLIGENCE. The Royal Albert, 121, screw, Commodore Martin, is still lying in the basin at Sheerness. Her machinery is daily progressing, together with her rigging. The defects of the Maidstone transport were com pleted on Saturday evening, at Devonport. She was towed by the Avon steamer out of harbour, and then proceeded direct to sea. Ward's steamer put into Plymouth on Monday morning, to fill up with coals, and to receive despatches for Gibraltar. The Nautilus, 6, Lieutenant Commander Doling, returned to Davonport on Sunday. The Fire Queen, Master Commander F. W. Paul, went from Pertsmouth down to Cowes on Monday evening with Some packages belonging 'to, Sir James Graham, who, we believe, is shortly expected on his usual visit to the Isle of Wight during the regatta. Yesterdaythe French frigate Persev4rante sailed from the Downs with stores and reinforcements for the Baltic fleet. The 'Russian ship Catharine Charlotte, of Riga, Daniel Balling, late master, and the Carl Magnus, of Pernau, Frederick, E. Rassmus, late master, taken in the port of Hull by the Customs' officers, sailing under simulated papers, have both been condemned by the Court of Admiralty;and ordered to be sold for the bene fit of the, Crown. , THE SCREW ` STEAM-SHIP COLOSSUS. The Colossus,_ 81, 'screw - .Captain -Spencer Robinson, Portitnoaih',— , —Tho - -late I:our Colossus returned into harbour on Monday evening prevented our noticing any more than the result of the trial at the measured mile. ,The . Coloisus is all that we have before stated—namely, an extremely handsome ship. Her main and lower decks'preseht most powerful and well-arranged batteries, with more than usual room to work the guns ; everylmprovement of the .present day with regard to armament is being introduced into this noble two-decker. The engines, by Penn, are most simple and perfect. The arrangement, however, of the orlop deck for the officers generally, is exceedingly bad and uncomfortable. We cannot call them cabins or even bunks; they are long narrow cells, with the sleep ing fittings athwart ship, instead of fore and aft, as here tofore. This arrangemebt is not only bad, but abso lutely dangerous. In a heavy swell aLd a rolling sea every officer will he flung violently out of his cot or sofa, and break his head or limbs against the sides of the ship. There are wing galleries throughout—this is very good. We presume the cabins or cells were planned this way to 'give more room for stores; but this is done at a sad inconvenience to officers ; more particularly the dismal cell appropriated to the lieutenant of Marines, who really has only half a cell, for the rake of the ship prevents his' making any use of the other half. Again, the, chief engineer's cabin ia placed the farthest away from the engines' ; and the second engi neer has no ca bi n a t a ll, and yet this gentleman, well connected, , left4 dtief engineer's position in a mercan tile firm to enter as second in. her Majesty's service, believing that some little attention would be paid to his necessary a comf or t s . In the ward-room some windows are on' hinges, so that the captain's steward can see and-hear every word that may be uttered. The window ought to have been at the side, where there was plenty of light and air, in stead of !poking into the ward-room, and destroying the privacy of officers at all times. This great inconvenience can, however, be altered at a trifling expense, and we sincerely trust that it will be done before the ship goes to sea. With regard to the rigging, the Marines have even lent a h an d aloft, and, apparently, as handy as a blue jacket. What should we do without our- "jollies ?" They are at all becks and calls—sweepers, riggers, waisters, soldiers ,• and sailors; and yet are they the worst-paid and the most ill-treated corps in the king' dom. , They do ple n ty o f wor k w i t h ou t grum bli ng .

Sir James Graham, who has now re covered from his severe attack of illness,. and who was at the French Ambassador's grand entertainment last night, in honour of the fete day of the Emperor, proceeds on Thursday, with: a full board of Admiralty, and at tended by the Surveyor of the Navy, Captain Sir B. Walker, K.C.8., and the principal officers, to Ports mouth, on the annual visit of inspection to the Admi ralty establishment. The tour of inspection this year will be the most important since the old war. OUR SCREW CRUISERS AND SCREW GUN-BOATS. Whilst public attention is fixed on the building and equipment of the screw despatch boats, and the screw gun-boats, the additions to the fleet of a class of vessels that are most valuable at this moment are comparatively unnoticed. .The useful and handsome screw-ships Hornet, Harrier, and Falconlha ve b een recent l y l aunched ; the former has been already despatched to the Baltic, and the Harrier is being equipped at Portsmouth. Three more of this class are in course of construction —viz., the Fawn, Mutine, and Alert—old names of ce lebrated cruisers. The machinery for these three smart and useful sloops of war, as well as the machinery for the Falcon, has been manufactured by the eminent firm of Miller, Ravenhill, and Salkeld, of Blackwall. Another and smaller class of screw cruisers, which may be termed screw gun-boats, are being completed— viz., Swallow, Ariel, Lyra, and Cameleon. They are vessels of about 450 tons. The machinery for these screw gun-boats is also being constructed by Miller, Ravenhill, and Salkeld. The great want of small cruisers of the above descrip tion has been severely felt this year. In 1855, however, they will supersede, in a great measure, the old worn out paddle•sloops, or will relieve them from fleet duties. The whole of the machinery of these vessels will be placed under the water line. TESTIMONIAL TO REAR-ADMIRAL BRUCE. The officers in command of cruisers during the period Rear-Admiral Bruce being in chief command on the African station have presented that gallant officer with a handsome piece of plate, as a testimony of their re spect for his character. It is in the form of an epergne, supported by a palm tree, under which is a representa tion of Rear-Admiral Bruce liberating a male and female slave. • This very tasteful and befitting present may be seen for some days at Messrs. Garrad's, in the Hay market. DEATH OF CAPTAIN WEST. Another Trafalgar officer has died, Captain Christo pher West (1851), on the retired list. He entered the navy in 1800, was in the expedition to Egypt, the battle of Trafalgar, as signal midshipman in the Minotaur at Copenhagen, at the capture of La Franchise, and at many other gallant affairs. He was flag-lieutenant to Rear-Admiral Surridge, the Commander-in-Chief at the Nore, and had his "haul-down" nomination in June, 1814, since which period he has not served. The European and Submarine Electric Telegraph completed laying down their wires to the Admiralty offices at noon yesterday. The office working apparatus arrived at Sheerness from London yesterday afternoon, and immediate preparations are being made for setting it to work. COURT-MARTIAL. A court-martial assembled yesterday, at 9 a.m., on board the Waterloo, at Sheerness, to try Daniel Fisher, gunner of the third class, serving on board the Janus, for having deserted from on board that ship at Calais, on or about the 15th of July last. After the witnesses were heard the court was cleared, previous to which the prisoner in his defence briefly stated that he was left on shore for the night at Calais, and he immediately sought a passage to join his ship, and he had no intention of deserting. The decision of the Court was, that the charge of desertion was not proved, and that they acquitted the prisoner. MILITARY. Yesterday, 400 rank and file of the 51st Regiment arrived at Gravesend, and embarked on board the Star Company's packet Comet, which conveyed them to Black wall, whence a special train took them per North London Railway to the Camden-town station of the North-Western, whence they were carried on to Manchester. On Monday morning, a detachment of the 21st Regiment (Royal North British Fusileers), to the num ber of 120 men and five serjeants, sailed from Merchant's quay, Cork, in the Royal Alice, for Queenstown, to embark in the Golden Fleece for conveyance to the seat of war. The remainder of the regiment, consisting of five companies, ►vas to embark the same evening at 3 o'clock. Lieutenant Loftus Robinson, R.N., having visited some of the ports on the south-west coast of Ireland, has returned to Dublin, and again opened the rendevous on Sir John Rogerson's-quay, to raise men for the nany. THE GOLDEN FLEECE. The Golden Fleece, whose arrival has been for some days expected, entered Cork harbour on Sunday morn ing, and anchored opposite Haul-bowline. She left Southampton on Friday. This vessel is nearly as re markable for her beauty of construction and enormous size as the Himalaya. Her registered tonnage is 2,500 tons. Her destination is Varna, to which, in addition to a number of the troops now in garrison, she carries 45 tons of gunpowder, to be taken from the magazine at Rocky Island, Queenstown, besides a large quantity of shot and shell, and other warlike stores. TERRIFIC POWDER -MILL EXPLOSION.—An explosion of a most disastrous character took place on Thursday morning at the government powder-inds at Horodsfoot, Cornwall, whereby upwards of five tons of gunpowder were destroyed, and damage done to the amo un t o f about 20001. The explosion is said to have originated in one of the men walking carelessly into the drying house with his trousers on fire, cau se d b y a spark from the fire-place. W i th great presence of mind he leapt into a deep trench a short distan ce o ff , w h ere he es caped with only a few b rui ses from stones which reached him. Happily no other - personal injury was) gustaiafad. SIB BENJAMIN. HALL. By a curious coincidence, nearly all the morning papers yesterday, devoted an article to Sir Benjamin Hall's ap pointment to the office of President of the Board of Health. There is a great unanimity, not only among our contemporaries, but in the public mind, as to the exceeding fitness of the Hon. Baronet for the important and honourable situation which he has accepted. We had the satisfaction of being the first of the London journals, to express our gratification at Sir Benjamin's acceptance of an office which he is so well qualified to fill, under the new constitution of the Board of Health. The situation will be one in which the party filling it, will have great influence for good or evil ; and therefore the metropoli tan community may well share the gratification with which we announced the appointment of Sir Benjamin to that ofice. He is thoroughly conversant with all matters pertaining to the sanatory and other subjets with which he will have to deal ; and fortunately, his connexion as representative with the largest borough in the world—the borough of Marylebone, for the period of seventeen years, has furnished him with opportunities of satisfying the public, that his views are in perfect ac cordance with those of the more intelligent and liberal part of the community. There is another circumstance of encouraging augury in connection with Sir Bnjamin's appointment to the of fffi haspcue b beenloi fe induced d Minister E Et oe of ai sc t en h e o e p tt , tNewahnadt officene Board ver sh hunter. His principles and his position alike put that out of the question. The salary attaching to the office which be has accepted, though it would be everything cyal o es f lyb H efre e on a m : t a h a . pslea H nese e e. to many others in public life, could not have weighed in the slightest degree with him. His salary, indeed, though handsome, will constitute no adequate compen sation for the domestic comforts which he will have to forego. In the fact, therefore, of the hon. Baronet's accepting the office, under the circumstances we have mentioned, we have a Strong Presumpti ve proof that he will devote his wh o l e ener • - • • energies and laborious discharge of the ard . duties which will uous devolve upon him. •addressing the vestry of St. Pancras on Monday, made some announceruents which will be hailed with gratification, not only b— y his own consti tuents, but by the metropolitan PUblic at large. "Of 1 one fact," said the hon. baronet, "he had to assure them—that the duties of, his office should be ever trans acted with a view to tthe upholding of the principle of local self.governmen, as contra-d is tinguished from that of centralisation, an d to place the department on such a footing as to command the respect of all parties. The appointment gave him no power whatever over the me tropolis, except as regarded the provisions of the Nuisance Removal Act ; but he should be glad at all times to do all he could by- way of suggestion." The assurance on - the part of Sir Benjamin which has all the duties of hi s been given, that transacted with a view to the upholding of the principle contra-diet* • of local self-government; as .. inguished from that of centralisation, was hardly necessary, because he has so long, so ably, and so consistently been the advo cate of local self-government, and the opponent of cen tralisation, that no one would even for a moment have regarded a d e viation from the course b e has hitherto pursued on these questions, as within th e pale o f proba bility, Still, though needed , this renew e d assurance of his attachment to . the principle of local self-govern ment, and of his hos • tility towards that of centralisation, will be received by the public with great gratification. The Government, we say, once for all, could not have made a better ,selection then they have done for the offige of Preside et, of ! the new ,Board of Health ; and we feel confident that before many months have elapsed, the metropolitan community will have such practical proofs of the f ac t f urn i s hed to them. as will . more than j ust if y the univ ersa l a pp ro b a t i on ,withthe appointment dvertiser. has bee n received.--Morning A THE CHOLERA V.

SECOND COURT-MARTIAL ON LIEUT, PERRY, AT WINDSOR. THIRTEENTH DAY —TUESDAY. The court re-assembled to-day at eleven o'clock, and the cross-examination of Captain John H. Chambers, of the 4th West York Militia, was resumed. Major-General Wetherell was in 'attendance as prosecutor, Colonel Kelly president, and Major Dalgetty officiated as deputy judge advocate. All , the other members of the court were present, with the exception of Captain the Earl of Lang. ford, who was excused on medical certificate. The room was crowded as usual with military men and civilians, among whom we noticed Colonel the Hon. Cecil Forester, M.P., Mr. Hammond, Captain Henry Seymour, Air. Christopher Tower, Captain G r i mes, t he Military Knit-414' -, and the Mayor of Windsor. 0 . The prisoner requested the questions and answers nifglit be again read before the court. They were so read by the deputy judge-advocate. The Prisoner (in cross-examination of Capt. Chambers) —Do you recollect Waldy and Knapp's affairs, and the attack on their rooms; and, if so, will you state, ,to the best of your recollection, who was present ? Witness—l recollect, in the Linen-hall Barred* Dublin, about eleven o'clock in the morning, to the best of my recollection ? President—Answer the question as it was given to you. Witness—Myself and several other officers of the 46th went for the purpose of drawing Mr. Knapp and Mr. Waldy, jun.—l mean the jun ior Mr. Waldy. W Mr. Waldy's door open. We immediatelyPullede foundcl down his bed and threw the bedding and bed clothes into, the barrack-square, out of the window. I went down when the officers were gone, and brought up the bed. clothes. I was very sorry. Mt. Waldy came in shortly afterwards, and I assisted him to put his room in order. He said,he would report to the colonel of the regiment, and I recom mended him not to do so but to take things quietly. He asked me to tell him who the officers were that upset his room, and I declined doing so. I said, it is quite sufficient for you that I have brought your bed up. That is, all that I can recollect. Prisoner—Who were the officers present? . Witness—The officers present were myself (to begirt with), Mr. Greer, Captain Garrett, Mr. Lenard, and there were some others, but I do not know who they were. Prisoner- —Can you undertake to say that Captain Nicholas was not one of them ; and has it not been your impression that he was one of them? Witness—l don't recollect Mr. Nicholas beine , there. I fancied at one time that he was there, but I don't think he was. Prisoner—What is the reason for your altering the opi nion that you gave me yesterday that Capt. Nicholas was one of them ? Witness--I fancied at one time that Captain Nicholas was concerned, but to the best of my belief he was not. Prisoner—Have you had any conversation with Captain Nicholas since the adjournment of the court yesterday ? If so, will you state what transpired between you ? Witness —I have had a conversation with Captain Nicholas since the adjournment of the Court yesterday. I conversed with Captain Nicholas on the state of my com pany when I handed it over to him. I may have said something else to him ; but I said nothing to him relative to the present court-martial. Prisoner —Was any reference made to the present in quiry ? Witness—No, sir ; Captain N icholas and I had no con versation with each other on the subject. Prisoner—Have you had any conversation since the adjournment of the Court with any and what officers, and what was said ? Witness—l have had conversation with several officers about the court-martial ; and talking about practical jokes, I said I think Nicholas was there, but I have no recollection of his being there. I think the officers I was speaking with were Major Vesey and Captain Garret. I am positive that Captain Nicholas was not there. He had no hand in throwing the bed clothes out of the window. I am quite positive he was not there. Prisoner—Am I to presume, then, from what you state, that you have changed your mind within the last twelve hours about Captain Nicholas being present, and after consulting with other officers of the regiment ? Witness—l never said that Captain Nicholas was pre sent. I thought he was present, and still I thought he was not ' • I always had a doubt abo u t it, an d a ft er t hi nk i ng of it I do not recollect him doing anything, and I am positive he was not there. I wish to add further, that Mr. Ford said he (Ford) was present on that occasion, but I have no recollection of seeing him there. Prisoner—Were you present when Major Maxwell ordered an officer to be brought down from his bed in the Royal Barracks, Dublin ? Witness—l never heard of it. I know nothing about it. Prisoner—Do you recollect Lieutenant Dunscorabe's case in the Royal Barracks ? Witness—l know nothing about it. Prisoner—How was I treated during the time you were in the regiment ? Witness—Many of the officers were cool to Mr. Perry. Prisoner—How, in your opinion, have I con d uc t e d my self since I have been in the regiment. Witness—in my opinion Mr. Perry has conducted him self very well. To me always like a gentleman. By the Court—Did you understand that Colonel Garrett had called Lieutenant Perry personally a fool for his pains, or that he had said so when speaking of him to others ? Witness—l heard that Colonel Garrett had called Mr. Perry a fool for his pains. I never thought about it. Mr. Curtis merely said to me, Colonel Garrett had called Lieutenant Perry a fool for his pains. He did not say whether he did so personally or not. By the Court—On what occasion was it said that Col. Garrett had so called Lieut. Perry ? Witness--On some occasion when Mr. Perry either re ported to the general of the district, or threatened to do so. Ido not know which it was. By the Court—Do you remember Colonel Garrett repri manding an officer for annoying Lieutenant Perry • and if so, was it on th a t occas i on C olonel Garrett is said 'to have called Lieutenant Perry a fool for his pains ? Witness—ln the Linen-hall Barracks, Dublin, I be lieve Colonel Garrett reprimanded some officer, but Ido not know who that officer was. In continuation witness said : I never was present at any reprimand, but I believe Colonel Garret reprimanded an officer in the Linen-hall Barracks, Dublin, about the month of May, 1853. I (10 not know who that officer was. It was not at that time that Lieutenant Curtis told me that Colonel - Garrett made use of that expression. It was about a year ago. By the Court—Do you know anything of Lieutenant Perry reporting to the general of the district, or threaten ing to do so ? Witness—l do not from my own knowledge know it. Prisoner (in re-examination)—Were we not in the Royal Barracks this time last year? Wit ess —No, sir ; I don't think that we were in the Royal Barracks this time last year. Prisoner—After that answer I have no further questions to ask this witness. By the Court—Was any person present when Lieut. Curtis told you that Colonel Garrett called Lieut. Perry a fool for his pains ? Witness—No person was present. Major Pack was then called. Prisoner—Did you not act as deputy judge-advocate on my first trial; and did you not call upon me in my room, and say that I might ask any question of you that I pleased, for as much that you was as much my adviser as you were the adviser of the Court ? Witness —On the 12th July in your room, and also in open court on the 14th July, I stated as much. Prisoner—lf you had received a letter from me, a similar letter to the one I sent to Colonel Pipon, would you not have considered it a privileged communication ? Deputy Judge-Advocate—That is the letter. Prisoner—May I request that an army list be produced? Deputy Judge - Advocate—Decidedly, yes. Prisoner —Would you have returned it to me if you had not ordered it to bo read before the Court? Witness—l should have returned it to you. I should have sent it to the president, and requested him to call Captain Nicholas. By the Court—When Liout. Perry addressed a letter to Col. Pipon, was he not a prisoner, and Col. Pipon could not therefore be his adviser? Witness—l know nothing but what I have read in the papers. It was not on the trial that I officiated as deputy j udge-advocate. Prisoner—May I request that the letter be read again ? The letter was then read. Prisoner—What was the state of the different companies of the regiment the day before the two companies marched for embarkation to Portsmouth? The Deputy Judge-Advocate—You can call Col. Garrett and ask him. Prisoner—The adjutant will be quite as well for the date. Lieutenant and Adjutant Charles Somerville M'Alester examined on his former oath.

Prisener—l mean on the 13th. Colonel 13IY th intimated that it was a very proper ques tio'n to be put, and ought to receive a direct answer. The Prosident—You request to know the state of the whole regiment on the 13 th of July, and th e state of two companies on the day of embarkation. The adjutant retired, and the documents, we understand will be forthcoming to-morrow. Prisoner—May 1 request that Lieut.

These are very jolly quarters—lots of women —and we have a drag for Ascot, and are going in grand style. • You owe me three pounds—that is, I owe it to you. I hope you may live till you get it.

Witness—l cannot be certain about that, but to the - best of my recollection lIPW I have not the slightest ides of ever having written to Lieut. Perry on the subject.

Prosecutor—Give the name of the officer that had mad e 9 use of the term to Ensign Coote Witness—l cannot tell the name of the officer. Ido not know which of them it was. By the Court—Can you explain the apparent discrepancy between the evidence given by you on a former occasion and the evidence you have given now, more particularly after having read the letter written by you to Lieutenant Perry ? Witness—l don't see the discrepancy in it. I should like to explain it. The prisoner requested that the former evidence of the witness be read over. The evidence was read over by the Judge-Advocate. Witness —I don't see the discrepancy now. The President —There is the discrepancy. It is in your own letter. but I i tness—There is a discrepancy now that I see it; don't k nowhat to add t o it. Colonel Blyth—wDoes that remark apply to the whole of your evidence ? Wituess—The long and short of the matter is, Shalt was done without any forethought.

You are perfectly right in asserting that at the root of the evil lies, first, the culpable nef;ligenoe of commanding officers in regard to the general habits of yoiing officers ; and, next, the deplorable system of idleness which is dominant in our service. The former of these defects must find its remedy in the pressure of public opinion. For the latter Mr. Sidney Herbert, so long ago as February last, held out some hope that a cure would be found. What has occurred to prevent the application to its proper purposes of the money voted by Parliament for the establishment of dis trict military schools ? One point, however, even you have failed to notice. I believe that gambling is forbidden in the army by the articles of War ; I know that at every barrack-gate a military police is stationed to prevent the entrance into barracks of persons of bad character, and ,particularly of strumpets. When ce d oes it h appen th a t amongst the charges brought against Li eu t enan t G r e e r there is none which put s - him on his trial for gambling and fOiThiinging a strumpet into his room; and why were not Captain O'Toole and Mr. Perry tried for conduct unbecoming gen tlemen, if not officers, in accepting Mr. Greer's invitation to go to his room and drink wine there with his woman? An officer's room ought to 'be kept as pure as his chamber in his father's house, if he is ex p ec t e d t o exerc i se any moral control ove r his men. At all events, if officers be allowed to convert their portion of the barrack into houses of ill-fame, it is positive injustice to punish the privates for seeking to do the same, with theirs.—Your obedient servant, ONE WHO HAS SERVED. STATE OF TRADE. MANCHESTER, August 15.—Several causes have com bined to depress the market for cloths to-day, one of which is a slight decline in the price of cotton at Liver pool, a change which always tends to stay operations here more less, while further unfavourable advices from Cal cutta by yesterday's post, which state that both calicoes and jaconets had further declined in value, had the effect of putting a large number of buyers upon a very restricted system of operating. Since the Bank of Eng land has lowered its discounts, depositors in the local banks are said to have been recalling their money, and this and other causes have somewhat lessened the means of accommodation to customers,_vkho findLmoney rather tighter when they expected it to be growing easier, and this again has its effect in restricting business. Some ' of the makers of domestics and shirting's have been putting their looms upon T-cloths, which are in better demand from the Greeks ; but sellers of most kinds of cloths report a dull and heavy market, and qualities suited to India are much neglected and almost nominal in price. The yarn-market still maintains a better posi tion than that for cloth, and pincops and warps are in fair demand, some of the spisners coming from under engagements being enabled to renew them 'offlbetter terms. On the whole, there was rather less buoyancy in yarns, however, than last week, and some of the buyers report a small concession in Indian qualities. The report of the market given by a mercantile firm in the town this evening says From Tuesday last to the close of the week we continued to have a fair de mand from the homehouses and printers, and prices were well sustained. Yesterday and to-day, however, owing to the slight decline in the Liverpool market, there is less disposition to act, but there is no giving way in prices. For 40-inch shirtings, jaconets, and maddapolams, suited to the India markets, the demand has been on the most trifling scale, and the advices re ceived yesterday from Calcutta have had the effect of further discouraging buyers, and prices of these goods are very irregular." LEEDS, August 15.—There has been a rather limited amount of business done in the cloth halls this morning, a slight lull having taken place in the demand by the merchants for woollen cloths. The trade upon the whole, however, is steady, and bids fair to remain so for some time to come. The weekly corn-market here to day has been flat ; little business has been done, and wheat has declined from 2s. to 3s. per quarter as com pared with this day se'nnight. The weather is rather unsettled, but from all parts of Yorkshire the harvest reports are of a favourable character. Some crops of wheat in the neighbourhood of Ripon have been cut, and, if all happens well, reaping will be genem next week. THE OPENING OF RELATIONS WITH J APAN .--The honour of having broken through the wall of partition which has hitherto for so many centuries excluded all the world from intercourse with Japan, belongs to this coitus try, and we may well be proud of it. But other coml• tries will undoubtedly seek to share with us in its benefits, whatever they may be ; and already instructions have ' been sent out to Sir John Bowring, the British Envoy in China, by her Britannic Majesty's Government, to ask from the Emperor of Japan a similar privilege to that which has been so honourably secured by the United States, and Sir John is to proceed at once to Japan to make the demand. The treaty which Commodore Perry , has succeeded in concluding is not, let it be observed, a treaty of commerce, but a treaty of amity and friend ' ship, though it opens to American citizens and the Ame rican trade two of the principal ports of the empire— ' that of Samodi in the island of Niphon, and that of ' Chickadada in the island of Vesso. These two ports will answer every present pu r p ose f or our commerc i a l inter course with that- count r y.
