The Danish schooner Steen Bille, of Elsinore, P. 0. Bech, master, of 107 to ns E ng li s h admeasurement, from Kirkaldy, laden with coals and coal tar for Stockholm, was taken on the 25th of May last by the Conflict, about 40 miles English from Memel and Libau. She arrived at the Nore on the evening of the 4th instant. The master,' P. 0. Bech, his wife, and daughter, have been sent on board the Waterloo, by order of the Flag-Cap tain, Lord Frederick Kerr : a separate cabin in the fore cockpit is appropriated for them. There are also two of the crew prisoners at large on board. The remainder were sent on shore at Copenhagen by the captain of the Dauntless. The Franciska, of Copenhagen, M. Michelsen master, 125 tons register, English admeasurement, from Tarra gona for Memel, with a cargo of wine and salt, was taken by the Cruiser, on the 22d of May last, off Leith Roads, and arrived at the Nore on the evening of the 4th inst. The master, carpenter, and one sailor have been put on board the Waterloo flag-ship. The rest were left on board the Cruiser, The Danish schooner Union, of Flensburg, Jacob Frederick von Barm master, prize to the Cruiser, left the Nore for the West India Docks on the 4th instant. She was taken by the Cruiser on the 21st of May, 12 miles English from Windau, partly laden with bricks for ballast, the private property of the master, as reported by him. The schooner Nornen, of Bergen, Jans Dahl master, arrived at the Nore on the 4th, and afterwards pro ceeded for London. The Nornen was prize to the Archer, and was taken on the Ist of June last, off Leith Roads, distant 4 English miles. The Johanna Maria, 81 tons, of Stavanger, R. F. Lindmer, master, prize to the Archer, from Riga for Norway, with rye and hemp, was taken on the 25th of May, off Leith Roads, distance about 8 miles English. The masters, officers, and men, now on board the Waterloo, flagship, at the Nore, wish to state that the officers and men have treated them with all the kindness possible, for which they desire to express their warmest thanks. Captain Lord Frederick Kerr has given permission, immediately on an application being made, for the master of the Steen Mlle's wife and child to go on shore, and re turn at their own pleasure ; and the whole of the officers and crew are prisoners at large, and care is taken to give them every indulgence their position will admit of. No official instructions have yet arrived at Sheerness ordering the Waterloo to prepare for sea, as reported yesterday. The Janus, 4 guns, paddle-wheel steam-vessel, Lieu tenant-Commander Colin C. A. Kane, is ordered to be in readiness to proceed to the Baltic, in company with the squadron of line-of-battle ships now preparing to take French troops on board at Cherbourg. The Wellesley, 72, guardship of ordinary, and flagship of Commodore Superintendent Christopher Wyvill, at Chatham, is being fitted at that port, and so far advanced that one side has been painted. She will soon be ready to be placed on her station at moorings in the Medway. The Malacca, 17, steam-sloop, Captain Arthur Far quhar, in the adjoining dock to the Wellesley, is fitting with great despatch for active service. The Star, 8, Commander Luard, arrived at Spithead from Sheerness, yesterday, and remains for further orders. The Royal William, 120, Captain Kingcombe, at Plymouth, bent sails on Tuesday. She will receive 100 men from the Calcutta, and be towed into the Sound on Thursday. The Nautilus, apprentices' brig, Lieutenant -Comman der Dolling, arrived in Plymouth Sound on Monday, and, having received some repairs, sailed again on Tuesday, to cruise in the Channel. Letters from the Vulture, Captain Glasse, state that she was to leave the Baltic on Sunday for England, to be refitted. s Cumberland,heiladlost fi d v a e te d h a ß n d ir s o S fr o o u n r: d s , tn 2 a 6 l t l l! pox. 63 men of war were then l y in g in Baro So u n d. of June, s midshipman Letters of the Hech t Mr. Charles D.

The Lords of the Admiralty yesterday took up a number of steamers for the conveyance of the troops destined to reinforce the British expeditionary army in the Black Sea ; as also two steamers for special service, each of the latter to convey 600 tons of stores, and from 180 to 200 men. The Rhadamanthus paddle-wheel steam store-ship, Master Commander John Belam, left Woolwich yester day morning, and, after towing the Beaver steam-vessel, with a quantity of spare machinery, and the funnel, &c., for the Royal Albert, to Sheerness, will proceed to Ports mouth with the machinery sent round to that port for the Curacoa and the Swallow. Very great improvements are in progress in Chatham dockyard, A spacious new slip has been laid down, ad joining that on which the Orion, 91, screw steam-ship, has been built.

Messrs. Grissell and ?eta have put up the metal sup ports on the south-west side for the roof, which is to be placed over the slip at a considerable height, to afford room for ships of great depth to be built under it. On the south-west side of the slip a roadway will be made to admit of timber being carted from the wharf wall to the sawmills or stacks where it is kept ready, when re quired. An hydraulic crane has been put upon the wharf wall on so simple and powerful a princi ple that a boy can manage it, and remove a piece of timber of the weight of four tons from a ship in the river on to the waggon for conveyance to any part of the yard. On the north-east side of the new slip a spacious tunnel has been made, extending its entire length and beyond into the mast-pond. Another powerful hy draulic crane, capable of raising ten tons, has been put up on this side of the wharf wall, to remove the masts and other heavy trees from the ships in which they may arrive, previous to being taken into the mast-pond. There is also a large convict prison being built, capable of containing 1,000 convicts for the heavy work of the yard. LITHOGRAPHY. -100 Circulars, 2s. 6d.; 1,000 IL ; other Printtn equally cheap.

Theessential object of this treatise is to point out the fearfill con sequences resulting from certain habits, irregularities and excesses, - which have produced more misery in Youth, degradation hi Man hood, and premature decay at all stages of Life, than, perhaps, any other class of disease known to modern pathologists, Its perusal is particularly recommeuded to persons entertaining secret doubts of their physical condition, and who are conscious of having hazarded the health happiness, and privileges to which every human being is entitled. It is absolutely necessary thatall men should know, that there are principles of personal management which cannot be violated without incurring grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret succeed the heyday of inconsiderate self-indulgence, how these penalties may be mitigated, how the sting of their bitterness may he removed, and how the evil and its con‘equene es may be avoided, and above all, that there is scarcely any degree of physical infirmity or functional derangement to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure. The Author has for a series of years been engaged in an extensive practice in the treatment of these delicate complaints, which aro unfortunately teen too generally confided to the care of ignorant empirics, who inflict great injury on those who are induced to place faith in their pretensions.

The prisoners were Serjeant Taylor, Serjeant Wallace, and Corporal Jones ; and the prosecutor was Captain David Edmund Wood, commanding the E troop of Royal Horse Artillery. The charges were two—lstly, in hav ing made a false statement to Captain Wood, to the effect that they had no money to pay the billets with, well knowing that they had been supplied with sufficient money for that purpose by Serjeant Crawford, acting as Quartermaster-Serjeant to the troop ; and 2ndly, in haling subsequently made a false statement to Captain r '_ , '_ i ~~ ~ /_ [PRICE SD. LA Ty INTELLIGENCE—jidy 5. this action was brought.. If they had been paid be fore, I should not have brought the action. My' housekeeping expenses whilst he was livin g with mu were about 1,2001. a year. My old friend amisted me on many occasions, Other friends also gave me 501. or 6 . Oli at a t i me. I have spent all I had, and all m y jewels and furniture. Crosst-exainined upon this additional - evidence—l lived with defendant after I had received those letters from Lord - -a I kept them in my posseseiorkall the time. Mr. Oxenharn, anctioner, proved that, in July, 1853, he sold the plaintiff's jewels by auction for 7851., and her furniture for 1,1621. 'Amongst 'the jewels sold was a brilliant necklace ; it fetched 1351. This was the plaintiffs case. Mr. James then addreseed the jolly for the defendant. His learned friend, with that solemnity of tone with which he could quote " Hodibras" or the Bible, had. spoken of the plaintiff appealin g for justice, and not; beirig sent empty away, but he hoped the jury would do. justice to, the defendant also. They .were men of the world, and they must look at this case, like all others, in thelight of the surrounding circumstances. Instead of opening this as a case in young man his friend il ra i ned in eid must u e s t have known was the case, a m in health and estate by his connection with the plaintiff, he had' spoken of her as a flower plucked by him in the innocence of her youth, who was ,now to he trodden k down and'apat upo n . It Was, however, nothing of the"" kind. This was not the case of a young woman "thie v ed ,by the defendant from her home and then abandoned. She had come from Bath 13 years ago, at'd had been living with different young men ever since, the general result being that she had ruined each of the.'n. She: had been living with a tradesman's son, and, aa /right: be expected, he was ruined in six months. She then went to live with a noble lord. Whilst with him she permitted the defendant to visit her, and after two years, their illicit intercourse being discovered, she went to live with the defendant. She lived with him about three years, at the rate of. 1,2001. a-year, she having but 4001. of her own, and th e pro cee d s Of her jewels and furniture ; and now that the connection had terminated,' she sued him for board and lodging from May 1850, to August 1852, to the amount of 1,4001. She said he agreed to allow her 501. a month, or 6001. a, year, hut that he'had not paid it. She admitted that she had received money to pay bills, yet not a tradesman had been called to prove that she had paid anything. There was an impudence about the demand that was sur prising. Ile was not there to defend wtaing the anony mous letters or the rest of the defendant's conduct, but he thought the jury would believe that they were made: use of only to extort money from the defendant. The.: plaintiff, without a blush upon her cheek, had detailedt the nutnber of persons elm had lived with, and the base , manner in which she had requited the confidence of her noble benefactor; and knowing that she could net recover anything if she admitted an agreement to live with the de fendant in immorality, hh e and her advisers had resorted to the, afterthought of making this demand for board and lod2ing, thinking that the defendant's father would rather pay it than submit to an exposure that mast he so painful to him. They were, however mistaken. H e contended there was no sufficient proof whatever of the contract she spoke of, and all probabilities were against it. But even if it were true that there was such a con tract, the facts proved that the defendant had more than performed it. It was now admitted that he had paid bills to the amount of 1,1501., besides the money he had. given her. He contended, therefore, that this was an impudent charge, trumped up by a reckless and migrate-. ful prostitute, whom, nevertheless, his friend described as " a summer flower, ' and who relied upon the defen dant's absence from the country, and consequent ina tility to give evidence on his own behalf, to enable her to succeed solely upon her own evidence. He, however, entreated the jury to look at the case as men of the world, and with all the surrounding circumstances. If they did so they would see through it, and return a ver dict for the defendant. The Chief Justice said this was an action for board and lodging. The plea was, never indebted. Mr. James said he defended the action for the father of the defendant, who alleged that the only engagement be tween the plaintiff and defendant was a profligate one, which the law would not sanction ; and, consequently, that to avoid this difficulty the pretence of a contract of board and lodging bad been adopted as an afterthought. The only witness was the plaintiff herself. She swore the defendant did enter into such a contract with her, when she was induced to take the house in Lowndes street. The defendant was not called. They were told be was abroad, where, if his father did his duty by him, he would leave him for some time, to feel the con sequences of hie folly. Under these circumstances, the jury mast look at all the circumstances of the cave. It was not a case of romance. The defendant did not seduce the plaintiff. It was said his learned brother had called her "a summer flower;" but if he did_so, it was before he had seen her, or probably he would have said she was fall-blown. She objected to tell her age, but said she had left Bath 13 years ago, since which time it was clear she had been living with severalen in prostitutio n .. She bad been living with a trades ,m man son, and in a. very few months the natural result followed, and he was ruined. She then went to live with her " old. friend," a nobleman, and whilst living with him she. became acquainted with the defendant. How, after this, she could look in his venerable face, he could not tell ; but she lived with the nobleman, and intrigued with. the defendant, until some anonymous letters wens written, and then her " old friend" turned her off. She , then had 1,0001. to pay her debts, and after doing so she had but 4001. left. After this she lived with the COURT OF CO3IMON' PLEAS. (Nisi Prius Sittings. at Gnildhall, before Lord Chief JusticejerVis and a Special Jury.) FligNpra V. ROLT. This was an action for 1, 4501., alleged to be due for board'and lodging, and ether necessaries, supplied by 'the plaiatiff to the defendant. The defendant pleaded .never indebted. Mr. Sergeant Byles and Mr. T. Jones was counsel for the plaintiff;' and Mr. E. James, Q C., and gr. May nard for the defendant. Mr. Sergeant Byles, in stating the plaintiff's case, said she was a young lady of very great personal attractions and accomplishments. He did not desire unnecessarily to introduce into' the case the names of persons who had nothing to do with it, and ho would not do so unless obliged by the counsel for the defendant. He would, therefore, only state then that previous to her acquaint ance with the defendant she had been. living in the neighbourhood of Belgrave-square, under the protection of-a nobleman, in a style, not of comfort merely, but of splendour. Her house was richly furnished, she had a carriage and other equipages, kept men and women servants, and in short, lived in great luxury. The de fendant was the son of a gentleman who was a member of Parhistment, and a man of great property. Ile was riding one day in the Park, and saw her walking in the neighbourhood of the Serpentine. He introduced 411121- eelf to her. At first she repulsed his advances ; but he was a young man and an agreeable man, and at last she Consented to meet him in Kensington-gardens. The acquaintance continued until the defendant became pas sionately, he might almost say, madly in love with her. He became desirous of detaching her from the connec tion in which she stood with the nobleman, and - at length he induced her to leave his protection and to take the leae.of a house in Lowndes-street, Lowndes quare She. did so, and the defendant agreed to be come security for payment of rent. He also undertook to pay her sn/. a month for his board and lodging, she furnishing the house and supplying the household necessaries. At this time she was possessed of money, furniture, and jewels to a large amount ; but after living together for three or four years, in consequence of the defendant's extravagance and his breach of contract, her money had been spent, and she had been obliged to sell her furniture and jewels by pub lic auction. He would prOve that, in oilier to assist Tim in his difficulties she had pledged her jewels and other effects for 1,0001., and had afterwards sold them for 1,3001. The defendant, forgetful of his engage ments, bad left her and gone abroad, and she was now actually obliged to come there and sue him for the board and lodging which he had contracted to pay her for. After this statement, he well knew the difficulties of his case. His client had fallen from female virtue. In the prime and summer of her youth she had been used by men for their sensual gratification, and now, he supposed, it was to be suggested that she was only as dirt, to be thrown aside and trampled on. In that court, however, justice was administered, as it was in heaven, both to those who had sinned and those who had not ; and if the plaintiff had justice on her side, whatever might be her character, she would not be sent empty away. She would be called to prove her case; and if it were suggested that she stated that which was not true, the jury should remember that the same law which made her a witness rendered the defendant eligible as a witness also ; and therefore he begged the jury to believe, after the plaintiff had made her statement, that if the defen dant did not come and contradict her, it was only be cause her statement was true and could not be contra dicted. Ellen French—l am the plaintiff. In 1847 I resided at Chapel-street, Park-lane. I had resided there about three months when I became acquainted with the defen dant. I first saw him May 22, 1847. Afterwards I went to live at Rutland-gate. On May 10, 1849, I went to live at Lowndes-street, Lowndes-square, at the re quest of the defendant. I was living previously under the protection of a noble lord, but his lordship received some anonymous letters, which I believe were written by the defendant, who wished me to live with him alone, which I did not wish to do, and in consequence I sepa rated with his lordship. I took a lease of the house in Lowndes-street for three years, at 1301. a year. The defendant guaranteed the rent. He agreed to pay me 501. a month for board and lodging, and to keep men servants and a carriage and horses. It was an unfur nished hi:Rise. I had some furniture at Tilbury's, and furnished it myself. Defendant lived there for three years. He only paid ,me for two or three months. It was an expensive establishment. I was frequently in want of money while he was there. I pledged my plate and jewels for 7001. I afterwards pledged my furniture to pay the interest on the money due on my plate and jewels. I think it was worth 3001. Cross-examined—l first saw the defendant in the Park _ _ _..~ He visited me for two years before he lived with me. I had previously known a person named French. Ido not know that he was the son of a tradesman in the City. I lived with him in Park-village, Regent's-park. I am not living with any person now. Defendant, when I first knew him, lived with his father. He left me two years ago next August. I did not expend 4,0001. during the time he lived with me, from 1849 to 1852. To the best of my knowledge I did not receive more than 7001. or 8001. from him during that time- He paid the last two bills. A carriage was kept. He said he would pay for it, but he did not. I paid for it. Two horses were kept. I bought them. He paid for their keep during a part of the time. He gave me a riding horse, and took it away from me again. I had it two or three months. [A bundle of cheques was here handed to wit ness.] These are in the handwriting of defendant. They have my initials, " E.M.F.," to them. He was in the habit of debauching about London, and when that was the case he used to put my initials to the cheques he drew in consequence. He never gave me money. He generally gave it to the lady's maid. I went to Brighton with him, and to Bath, and to York, (luring 1850, 1851, and 1852. Before I lived with Mr. French, whose name I took, I had lived with somebody else. I never was 3 member of the corps de ballet of the Opera House or the Adelphi Theatre. I came from Bath thirteen years ago. I lived with a gentleman a very short time before I came to London. I have also lived with another person besides those who have been mentioned. He was not ruined by me. I never lived with a hotel-keeper in the Hay market. I don't know that Mr. French had 3,000/. when I lived with him. He furnished the cottage for me. Miss Clarke was my dress-maker. Defendant paid her 150'. for me. He kept a box at the opera before I went to live with him. He paid Miss Clarke 2201. for dresses. He paid Hunt and Roskell 1501. or 1601. for a bracelet for me. It came to a good deal more, but they al lowed .me 125/. for an old one. He paid. 331. for a bouquet holler. I opened an account with Hunt and Roskell as Mrs. Fortescue. I lived in Chapel-place as Mrs. French ; but some persons knew hie as Mrs. For tescue. I paid two years' rent in Lowndes-street. The last quarter I received the money from him. An execu tion was issued against him whilst he lived in Lowndes street. I went from there to Charier-street, Westbourne terrace. I there took his name. He lived there two months and a half. I did not whilst there break the furniture and threaten to stab him. He has visited me since. Afterwards we went to 8, George's-terrace. I knew he secreted himself from executions. They com menced in March, 1852. I then sold the horses. The coachman brought an action against him for 521. A publican claimed 35/., and he paid it. My carriage came from Laurie and Marner's. He wished me to have a new one, and I exchanged my old one, and he paid the difference. It was not much. I had 1,000/. when I went to live with him. I had it from the noble man I lived with, on parting, to pay my debts. I spent it all but 400/, in doing so. During the whole time de fendant lived with me he ran me into reckless extrava gance. I do not know where my lady's-maid is. She hohaerredarkg was slightly htly cut ; but kept the books. She has not received as much as 300/. at a tithe from the defendant.

The jury returned a verdict for the defendant. COURT OF EXCHEQUER, (Sittings at Nisi Prius, at Guildhall, after Term, befortt the Lord Chief Baron and Common Juries.) CHARD V. BIRCH-FALSE IMPRISONMENT. Upon this case being called on, Mr. Crosse said he represented the defendant, but he did not Bee the counsel on the other side present. The plaintiff said his solicitor had been in court until the last few minutes, when he was obliged to go home from illness, and his counsel were engaged in another court, so that he had no one to appear LSI. him. The Lord Chief Baron—Then you are an unhappy man. The Plaintiff—No, my lord, I am not unhappy. (Laughter.) The Lord Chief Baron—Well, then, you are.nnfortn nate, for yon are here when your cause is called on with out attorney or counsel ; you have a sick attorney, and' your counsel are absent. I consider that an unt2appy" position fur a plaintiff to be placed in.

It appeared that the plaintiff, who is oft. - .* to tuner, was returning home on the 11th Of January last,• when, seeing some second-hand pianofortes in the shop. of the defendant, a broker, in Old-street-road, he enteredhis shop and began to try one of them. The dt fendant, on his asking the pric e of it, told him. it was IG/. 11;3 tried another, and. was about to leave the shop when the defendant asked him if he intended to purchase, and! if so, he would have a grand pianoforte in a few days whichplaintiffinswtrouumldentbse ofw otritllait b, The were not saleable, p and. that he was not going t o o ul m d a no ke t a s p u ll it rC h h i a m s . e, a u s D t o h n e this the defendant opened a volley of abuse upon him upon ause, andcharge fi a na h ll n y vi h n e , g d a a v in e I t t h u t—he"ho much SO,that a number of persons collected round eedplaaipiiiffanionftoor t e e n . to T d i y l e , plaintiff was taken to the stet' h ion- ouse, where he was detained for four hours, at the expiration of which time he was enabled to obtain bail.

RUSSIAN RIFLES.—The following has been addressed to the editor of the Times by a Prussian engineer : " Sir,—l beg to say a few words on the Russian rifles, whose needle-pointed bullets studded the sides and masts of the English ships in the affair of Eckness: The Rus sian military rifles are constructed on the principle of what is called in Germany a stielbuchse,' from a plug standing up in the middle of the interior of the breach, is rounded or flat at the bas e, c y lindrical i n the middle, or spitzkugelbuchse,' from t he sha p e of the b ullet which and forms a cone of considerable acuteness at the fore part. The length of the barrel is about 30 inches, the calibre .56 Prussian , or .577 English inches, exactly the bore of your present G o vernment rifle, the so-called Mini 4. The rifling, consisting of four grooves, is also the same. The bul lt y, and is mad e to fill the upon the plug o f the breech strokes lreevd out f e r r o y m ireel an iron ramrod hollowed at th e end, so as not to injure the poi n t o f th e b u ll e t, and. groovesb ey a enters few by sy t m h a e r being m spread to k ee p it straight in the very axis of the bore. In this smart res pect it has a slight advantage over the Minie, where the expansion of the bullet 's intrusted to the force of the exploding powder acting upon the hollow base of the bullet. The small number of men hit by these bullets is another proof of the incorrect shooting to which all rifles with loosely fitting bullets are liable, especially after the barrel has become foul by continued firing, In the Prussian army, where the dictates of the science of gun nery are carried out practically, without regard to pre judie~ or exponse-- witness the manegement of the Turkish artillery by Prussian officers-;--such guns have been discarded since 1848." COURT CIRCULAR. The Queen, attended by the Countess of Gains borough and Lord Alfred Paget, visited her Royal Highness the Duchess of Gloucester yesterday after noon at Gloucester House.

The verdict of the Court, which has now been officially confirmed by the Commander-in -Chief, was, that the charges were proved, and the Court sentenced Serjeant Taylor to 84 days' imprisonment, and Serjeant Wallace and Corporal Jones to 42 days' imprisonment, each of the prisoners to be reduced to the rank of gun ner in the Royal Horse Artillery, losing all claim to pension, &c. On Tuesday morning draughts from the 33d, 41st, and 47th, in all about 300 men, were conveyed on board the Prince Arthur and Royal Alice steamers to Queens. town, where a transport awaits to convey them to Varna. The head-quarters division of the 12th Regiment, con sisting of three companies, under command of Major John Francis Kempt, embarked on Saturday on board the Camperdown transport, for conveyance to Mel bourne. The Camperdown sailed on Monday evening at 25 minutes after 7 o'clock. The Barham transport, for conveyance of the third division of the 27th Regiment to Calcutta, arrived in Queenstown on Sunday. The division embarked on Tuesday morning, and proceeded on their voyage next day. The Southampton transport arrived on Monday morning for the conveyance of the fourth and last divi sion, which was to embark on Wednesday, under the command of Lieutenant-Colonel Usher Williamson. A party of the 30th (Cambridgeshire) Regiment of Foot arrived in Belfast on Thursday, from England, on recruiting duty. There are eight parties in Belfast at present, namely, five of the infantry of the line, and three of the Royal Marines, Royal Artillery, and sth Regiment of Dragoon Guards. THE FRENCH TROOPS FOR THE BALTIC. As we have already stated, the only line-of-battle ships that are to take the French army to the Baltic, are the following : Hannibal, screw 91 Commodore Hon. F. W. Grey. Algiers, screw 91 Captain Talbot. Royal William l2O Captain Kingcome. St. Vincent lO2 Captain Manse!. With these the following steamers will also be dis. patched : I Termagant, screw 24 Captain Hon. Keith Stewart. Gladiator, paddle 6 Captain Broke, Sphinx, paddle 6 Captain Clifford. The squadron will be under the orders of Commodore Grey, with his broad pendant in the Hannibal. The Algiers and Hannibal, as we have stated are at Sheer ness, have their lower deck guns out, and will soon be ready to proceed to the Downs. Rear Admiral Berke ley, C. 8., having made the arrangements at Portsmouth for the St. Vincent to be got ready, and having effected the exchange of Captain Mansel with Captain Eliott, the Powerful, 84, remaining as the ordinary guard-ship pro tem., went off to Devonport to personally direct the arrangements fur getting away the Royal William, which ship has been got ready with such dispatch (the commander-in-chief, Admiral Sir William Parker, and the admiral superintendent, the Hon. M. Stopford, hav ing superintended the work themselves), that she was towed into the Sound yesterday morning, and will be in the Downs most likely on Thursday nest. St. Vincent has nearly completed the troop fittings at Portsmouth, and has taken in her powder and shell. Yesterday afternoon the Echo and Comet, steam-tugs, received on board the blue jackets and marines from the Powerful, and turned them over to the St. Vincent, at S e ithead. The crew, on leaving their ship, heartily cheered those left behind, which was returned with the same good feeling. Termagant has completed her outside painting, and rattled down her rigging. The convicts were at work the whole night of Tuesday coaling her. The shipwrights and factory people are engaged night and day to com plete her by Saturday. Sliding bulkheads and screens have been fitted for the accommodation of the French officers. ascer tain th e d ev i at i on of her compass. Sphinx wa s swung yesterday at Portsmouth, to head t o -d ay, and her crew be paid in advance. It is not t rue, as reported, that the Waterloo, Co lossus, and o th ers named, are to take the French troops. She will go to Spit- The arrangements for receiving the French on board these fine ships will be as perfect as can be conceived. They are to have the best of provisions, the best of stores, and are to be made as comfortable as possible. This is as it should be, for the gallant French soldiers are worthy of being taken care of by British sailors, and deserve for their devotion every encouragement, for as we are short of soldiers, and troops as well as seamen are required for Baltic service, the Emperor has most nobly and handsomely volunteered to send Frenchmen to co-operate with our fleet. The selection of Captain Mansel for this work is also a most judicious step. In this gallant officer the French soldiers will find an old comrade ; for Captain Mansel as a volunteer, by way of recreation, we believe, carried a musket in the French ranks in Algeria, and helped them to take Constantine. We believe the total number of the French troops 000. They w ill assemble at Calais and about the 14th or 15th i ns t. andßiwnoiltulhlboeegDnaeob,:unts7 , will be convey e d to the Brit i sh squadron TEN THOUSAND MORE TROOPS FOR THE K SEA. It is now known that the reinforcements to our army in Turkey will amount, in new regiments, drafts, and detachments, to nearly 10,000 more troops. They are to be sent as soon a s p ossible to the seat of war, or rather as quickly as ste am ton nage can be p roc ured. A s we have stated, the P eninsular and Oriental Company's great screw steam-ship takes out another regim ent of ca valry , and it is reported that this magnificent s hi p will b ecome the property of the Crown. The Adm iralt y p a y for her hire ne a rly 9,0001. a month, while she co dul become the property of the country for—say, 130,000/. or 1 40,000/.—just 15 months' hire. The General Screw Company's new 2,700-ton-ship Prince, as already reported, will take infantry. It would be much more economical to purchase this splendid ship also. The cost of her hire per month is about 6,8001., and we doubt not she could be purchased at the same rate as the Himalaya. The Royal Mail Company's large paddle-wheel-ship Orin )CO also proceeds again to the East with infantry, and the Australian Mail Company's screw-ship Austra lian, 1,300 tons, sister ship to the Sydney, now em ployed, is also to be taken up to convey the troops. But still more steam tonnage is required, and the difficulty is where to get it at the moment. The real amount of tonnage now in the East is deemed to be scarcely suffi cient to follow the army, and the commander-in-chief keeps them with a pertinacity that is not only justifiable, but laudable. As we remarked three months since, when little experience in the transport service had been gained, the real difficulties would commence when the autho rities bad acquired some knowledge of them. Such is now felt to be the fact ; but the success of the initiation induces a confidence in the energy and ability of those who have hitherto done so well in providing for the ser vice. When the above have all arrived we shall have more than 40,000 British soldiers in Turkey. TE' RUSSIAN WAR. The problem now to be solved in the face of the world is this—"ls the united force of England and France equal to the destruction of two Russian fortresses ?" If it be not, it is an unpleasant fact ; but having been pro perly verified, it had better be folded and docketted, and put into its proper pigeon -hole, and the less said about it the better. Having settled the great truth in the national mind, the next thing will be to reduce our navy to our old peace force, which will be quite enough to keep the Russian fleet quiet in the Baltic till the ice drives Napier out, and freezes the Russians in, and to blockade the Sevastopol fleet till the bad weather comes on. Napier could destroy the Baltic three deckers with one-fourth his present force, just as well as he can with the whole of it—if they would come out ; and as to Dundas—seeing that Mr. Butt, who seems to read the blue books, described him as the first English Admiral who congratulated himself, in a despatch, upon having got to a spot one day after a battle, and returned one day before a storm—we are not quite sure that he wants any fleet at all. While this is being done, we can employ ourselves in punishing those advisers of the Crown an arm armament squandered qcuoannfde confessedly y so s manymillions in fitting out useless. Afterwards, we can build a few fortresses on the Balkan, put some English and French troops in them, and go quietly to sleep, satisfied that we have done all that ships and armies can do against the unassailable empire of the Russ. If anybody should object that some better result than this ought to be obtained after sending fourth four times the naval force that was present at Trafalgar, and more British troops than were sent to Waterloo, that man is an impatient and unreasonable caviller ; incapable of appreciating the excuses of official men, or of compre hending the impossibilities of official minds. True, the capture of the Crimea would set the Black Sea free, the destruction of Cronstadt would open Peters burg, and probably terminate the war. The impatient public, however, will not understand, that without gun boats nothing can be done in the Baltic, and without a land force Sebastopol cannot be taken. But it was quite impossible for England to be pro vided with gun-boats, as Nicholas is ; and France and England never yet bad a land force to send to the Crimea. What is simply impossible now, will be extravagantly impossible when there is a frozen post-road between Petersburg and Cronstadt, and when the storms of the Euxine shall have sent every prudent mariner into harbour. Observe the excellence of our argument for inaction. The longer our excuse is kept, the stronger it becomes. It is like good wine, good pictures, and good boots. It mellows, tones, and becomes standard as it ages. The proper policy is to prevent Russia from taking Conetantinople, yet to do as little harm to Russia as possible. We should treat Nicholas as they treat mad people—use the minimum of restraint that will prevent positive mischief. At present every thing is very satisfactory. The Turks have been a little more energetic, perhaps than was quite to be desired ; but so far as naval matters are con cerned. Nicholas cannot reproach our minister. The only flag of a ship of war that has changed hands, is the flag of the Tiger, which Nicholas has just hung up as a Russian trophy.—Yew Quarterly Review for July. SHORTENING THE MORNING SERVICE. THE MILITIA. The West Suffolk Militia has completed its month's training, and has been inspected under the command of Earl Jermyn and Lieutenant-Colonel Dearo. The in specting officer (Lieutenant -Colonel Jervis). put the men through the manual and platoon exercises, and through various movements, which they executed in a highly creditable manner. It is in contemplation to make' Yarmouth the head quarters for all the militia regiments in Norfolk. TO THE EDITORS OF THE NEWSPAPER PRESS. Gentlemen,—l think most men now feel the necessity of shortening our Sunday morning Church service, if such could be judiciously done. The combination of three dis tinct services has naturally caused needless repetitions and a length of service which, in many instances, actually hinders the practical usefulness of the Church. I would proceed, indeed, with the utmost caution, avoiding, on the other hand, the introduction of novelties, and, on the other, the omission of the more marked pecu liarities. The service I would retain almost in its present form, neither ignoring the Litany, with its simple but sub lime petitions, nor leaviog mit the pre-Communion service, with its Collect, Ten Conneinandments, and appropriate Epistle and Gospel. In the plan appended to my letter to the Archbishops and Bishops of the Church, I have stri , Aly endeavoured to carry out these vie e. The Sunday Morning Service remains, in its prominent features, almoat the same; yet the slight modifications Introduced render the ser vice shc.rter by some twenty or twenty-five minutes, The Collect for the day is only used, the Occa sional Prayers aro interwoven with the Litany tints " That it may please Thee to endue the Lords of the Council and all the nobility [during the Session of Parliament], and especially the High Court of Par liament at this time assembled, with grace, wisdom, and understanding," ono creed only is recited, the Lord's Prayer less frequently repeated, and in places where they do not chant the " Venite" is omitted. You will observe that on other days, with the exception of Wednesdays and Fridays, the customary rubric is fol lowed almost without alteration; and that scarcely any change is made in the evening service. I have also suggested that on Sacrament Sundays the complete Communion Service only should bo used without Morning Prayers and Litany, the sermon following the Nicene Creed, the minister then returning to the table and commencing the Offertory. In agricultural parishes, espe cially where people generally have a long distance to walk to church, and where the second service is usually in the afternoon, the adoption of such a plan would, I am per suaded, quickly be followed by increased attendance in the number of communicants. _ . . Much, very much, depends on the public press to bring about a wise and prudent modification. Let the subject be calmly discussed, let party strifes be forgotten, let men earnestly ask direction and wisdom from above, and, with God's help and blessing, the desired object would soon be attained, and, once attained, would tend materially to fill our churches with the labouring classes, and to remove many obstacles of whioh good and pious Dissenters some times justly complain.—l remain, gentlemen, yours most obediently, JOHN W. LESTIO3, Incumbent of Ashton Hayes, near Chester. June 29. THE WAR WITH RUSSIA.—MEETING IN ST. PANCRAS. —Last night a public meeting was held at the Vestry hall, King's-road, Camden-town—convened by requisi tion—on the present war with Russia. Mr. Cudden, after some delay, took the chair, and stated that Lord Dudley Stuart and Sir B. Hall had been invited to attend. The former excused himself as ho had a pre vious engagement, and Sir B. Hall was absent through indisposition. Mr. Urquhart addressed a meeting of about 400 persons for two hours, and denounced the a d war as unnecessary, rash, and inconsiderate. 1 already in one year cost 10 millions , an d the people su mitted to it like sheep led to the slaughter. There could be little to expect, when the bon. member Ye for Mar 1 - D utch bone brought forward his motion on the Russo-Dutch Loan, but that there would be an other count in out, and thus the people of England were c ajo led. 8 It was pal pable that the people of England 1 5 4 were as stupid as they were in 1806. Major Rolland moved, and Mr. Ross seconded, resolutions to the effect that all treaties being abrogated by the fact of the war, the continuance of the payment of the Russo-Dutch Loan is a treason able offence, to be visited by impeachment, and con demnatory of the whole of the arrangements with re spect to Greece and the Ottoman empire, the schemes of Russia having been adopted in all their movements. A petition to Parliament and an address to the Queen were also agreed to. ENGLISH MEDICAL STAFF FOR THE TURKISH ARMY. —We are able to state positively that the Sultan has determined to obtain a staff of English and French medical officers for his troops. The Turkish ambassador has entered into communication with our Government on the subject, and the advice of the Director-General of the Army and Ordinance Medical Departments has been requested as to the formation 'of the staff. —= Modica/ Times and Gazette.
