"1. The Lords of the Treasury have been pleased to in crease, from two to three ounces, the weight allowed for publications hearing newspapers stamps, but not bein g strictly newspapers, which are pe-mitted to p ass th roug the post under the newspaper privilege. "2. Their lordships have thought it necessary, at the same time, to lay down the following regulations, viz.:— " L That no such publication shall he permitt e d t o pass under the newspapei privilege unless it be so folded as to expose to view the newspaper stamp. " 2. That no such publication shall have any cover or outside wrapper (a loose cover being of course allowed for the address), and that the stamp shall be affixed to the title page, or any other page of the publication (provided it be exposed to view when folded), which page shall form a part of the sheet of paper on which the publication is printed. "3. In every instance in which the foregoing regula tions are not complied with, or the weight of 3 oz. is exceeded, the publication will not be allowed to pass under the newspaper privilege, but will be charged with the ' unpaid' rate of letter postage, and, if it exceed the weight of 4 oz. will be sent to the dead letter office ; and it will be the duty of postmasters to enforce the above conditions at ictly. "4. To ensure as far as possible a compliance with these regulations, not only when stamped publications are in the first instance transmitted through the post, but also upon any subsequent posting of them, it is suggested that they should have a short notice to purchasers printed on the title-page, drawing attention to the necessity of exposing the newspaper stamp to view whenever they are sent through the post. "5. As publications of this kind cannot be forwarded to places abroad under the newspaper privilege ui,l, , ss they be posted within seven days from the date of publication, it is necessary that they should in every case have the date of publication conspicuously printed upon them. • 6. It is advisable that no stamped publication, if it nearly approach to the prescribed limit of weight, should be posted in a damp state ; as whilst in that condition it ms y be found to exceed 3 oz., and, therefore, be liable to charge.

The Royal Albert will be all ataunt. with top gallant mats sent an-end, on Saturday next, the 26th inst. (the anni vers try day of the birth of his Royal Highness Princ • Albert.) She will, if the tides permit, be put out of d .ck on the -acne day, it not on Monday follow ing. Her steam machinery department will be quite ready by that time. The crew of the Lopregnable, 104, Captain Wise, in Hartioaze, rove life lines on Mon lay for exercise of tile crew, preparatory to the arrival of the Lords of the Admiral ry. Colossus, 80, Captain R. S. Robinson, has got every thing on board except powder. She will now paint outside, and with another 150 blue jackets is ready for any service in 24 hours. She has stowed 290 tons of eoa!s, and has found more room for provision; than could have been expected. Site hae. picked up lots of Atholl men. The frigate Inconstant, 3G, has been towed from her moorings in Ihnioaze to the jetty of the Duvonport dockyard to be jury -Jigged and fitted as a receiving ship for 'Queenstown. Esk, 20, screw steam corvette, recently launched from the shipbuilding yard of John Scott Russell and Company, with all her machinery on board, and one of Griffith's screw propellers in its proper place, was taken into dock at Woolwich, to be cuppered and made ready for commission. Tue Malacca is completing her stock of coals at Sheer ness from the brig Purcia, of Colchester. More iron ballast is being sent off to bring her down to her intended displacement in the water. A number of the blue jackets, Since receiving their advance, have been on liberty on shore. The men are most punctual in their return at the expiratio❑ of their leave, and they express a wish that they may be sent where they can do their duty to their country and their officers. The Harrier, 16, new screw sloop, was removed from the steam-factory basin at Portsmouth yesterday, and placed alongside the dockyard for facility of equipment. Gmmiander Story had not arrived yesterday to commis sion her. The Salamander, 6, paddle-sloop, Commander Priest, hauled out of the factory-basin yesterday morning to the stream in the harbour, to have her compasses adjusted. The Spy brigantine had her compasses adjusted yes terday (by swinging ship), under tne directions of Mr. John C. Barlow, master of the Formidable, guard-ship of ordinary, The Rhadamanthus, paddlewheel steam store-vessel, Master Commander Belam, has been sent into the basin at Woolwich to take on board a portion of the machinery of the Exmouli, 91, screw steamship at Devonport, and convey it to that poet. She left the .Melampus, frigate, at Pembioke, as it is now doubtful if that ship will proceed to Glasgow to bring round the machinery said to have been made by Napier for the Russian Go vernment. Mr. Napier states that the engines in ques tion were never intended to be sent to Russia, and, therefore, they are not liable to be seized by the British Government. The Black Eagle, Master-Commander Petley, arrived on Monday evening with some of the Lords ut the Ad miralty from Weymouth.. The Vivid, steain-vesel, arrived in harbour yesterday morning from the eastward. The American pack , tt sailed from St. Helen's roads yesterday morning for New Yolk. APPOINTMENTS. Lieutenant—John B.

THE GUN-BOATS.-T[ZIAL OF LANCASTER'S GUN. The Arrow, screw despatch gun-vessel, Lieutenant- C ,mmander Jonah, left Spithead yesterday afternoon for the Needle Rocks, Isle of Wight. to test the efficacy of her new and powerful armament. Her Majesty and Prince Albert. in the Victoria aoJ Albert, Ciptain the Hon. Joseph Denman ; the Lords of the Admiralty, with their flag flying in the Black Eagle steam-yacht, Maser-Commander Petley; the Dasher, steam-vessel, C iptain Le Febvre, also with a party on board ; the Fairy Ist , yal yacat, with a par y on board ; and the Bee, steam tender to the Excelle,t, with CAptain Sir Thomas Maitland, Captain Savage, and the whole staff of Excellent on board, and numerous craft from Cowes went to the scene of operations to witness the trial, all returning in the evening. We repeat that there ha; been altottether a misunder standing respecting gun-boats for the Baltic, their uses, and their efficiency. The authorities have been igno rantly reproached-Ist, because it has been reported that there are immense numbers of gun-boats in the Baltic; 2d, because the Admiralty sent out the Jasper,. Pigmy, Cuckoo, &c., as gun-boats ; 3dly, because the Admiralty designed a class of vessels which, from their draft of water, would be useless in the B-►ltic. Now, in the first place, it may be asked, where are these hun dreds of gun-boats iu the Baltic ? Everybody seems to have adopted the notion of their existence, but nobody has ever seen them. But allowing them to exist, what chance have they at the present day with a fleet of which two-thirds are steamers? Their power and efficiency, their means of annoyance or destruction, were at an end when the first steamer was launched. Secondly, it should be observed, that the Pigmy, Jasper, Cuckoo, arid Co , were never fitted ont or intended to be used in the Baltic as gun-boats. Sir Charles Napier wanted some old vessels that he could " expend"—some vessels that lie could make "fire-ships" of should he require them ; when most aptly for the service the Admiralty patched up those old s;eainers that had been advertised to he sold, and sent them out to the fleet. Thirdly, the Admiralty never designed the 470-ton vessels Arrow, Beagle, Wrangler, &c., as gun-boats. They always were, arid now are, intended to be employed as despatch-boats, but with so powerful an armament as to lie useful for heavy gunnery work should they be wanted. The real gun-boats are those in course of construction ; four are being built at Not thfleet and two at Deptford dock yard. They are of 200 tons, and about 60-horse power, high-pressure screw engines, draw less than six feet water, and all lava their machinery under the water line, and therefore not exposed to shot. These low, long, eight or nine knots an hour gun-boats will clear the coasts of a myriad of the row gun-boats of the Baltic if they aro there.—Morning Herald. to the invalid depot, St Mary's Barracks, to be disposed of by the decision of a Chelsea board. THE COAST GUARD BRIGADE. The supernumeraries who have joined the Coast Guard service in the place of those who have been sent abroad, are daily exerci.ed with the long gun exercise at Sheer ness, under the superintendence of Lieut. Hosken, of the Garris on P o i nt station. The result from the daily trainin; is, that the.e men, many of whom a week ago ha I never seen a gun, can now go through all their evolutions, and file with great precision. MAILS FOR TOE BALTIC. Mails for the Efolyr.,( K i hired steam transport have arrived at Sheerness for the Baltic fleet. She was expected there yesterday. A countermanding order gives until the 26th instant to make up her mails at that post-office. No official intimation has been given by the authorities there bf her inte n d e d arrival. However, a number of persons residing there, having relatives and friends serving in the Baltic fleet, are making the necessary preparations to avail themselves of this opportunity of communicating with their relatives and friends. There are many families there who have fathers, and some two or three their sons, now flehting the battles of their country, and it is only by a ' side-wind report they are enabled to know when opportunities offer to send either letters or newspapers out to them. Some thousands of pence might be added to the Postmaster-General's receipts if only publicity were given when ships are to call there for mails for the Baltic or Black Sea fleets, MI SCELLANEOUS. The Princess Alice, formerly one of the Dover mail steam-packets, having been thoroughly refitted, was taken out of the basin yesterday to moorings in the stream. THE 4GTH REGIMENT.—Lieut. G. F. Greer, of this regiment, is t:ie son of the late William Jackson Greer, J.P., of Rhone Hill, county Tyrone, and not, as has been stated, the son of Mr. Greer, of Portstewart, county Derry. His Imperial Brazilian Majesty's steam sloop Gequi tinhouha, Captain Lemare, recently built in the Thames, arrived in Plymouth from London on Thursday, and, having coaled, sailed on Saturday for Rio Janeiro. Mr. W. H. Skinner, clerk's assistant (first appoint ment) has taken up his appointment, and joined the Wellesley guard-ship of Ordinary, at Chatham. THE MILITIA. The 3 , 1 West York Light Infantry, at present sta tioned in Duhlin, were inspected on Monday in heavy marching order, by Major-General Cochrane, com manding the garriAon, on the esplanade facing the Royal barracks.

THE INVASION AND CONQUEST OF FINLAND BY RUSSIA. 1808-1809. [The Moniteur of Sunday, the 20th inst., contains the following account of the conquest of Fiuland by Rus sia. At tbe present moment a peculiar interest attaches to this event ; but what has principally moved us to devote so much of our space to the narrative is the con viction that there is an arrierc-pensee in its publication in the Moniteur just at this time.] Russia had been for some time vainly endeavouring to persuade Sweden to unite with herself and Denmark for the purpose of closing the Balticagainstthe English. Sud deily, without any declaration of war, without even waiting for the answer to the last summons, she invaded Finland. The ultimatum spoken of was the subject of a note dated the 22d of February, 1808, and, the eveniog before, the Russian troops had passed the fron tier of the two states. The invasion of Finland, during a time of profound peace, is one of a class of acts at. the commission of which Russia never hesitates. It is a proceeding similar to that of the occupation of the Prin cipalities of the Danube in 1853, Finland, covered with lakes, marshes, and hills, with rocks a, d forests, contains a population of scarcely 1,200,000 souls, scattered over a supelEies of about 53,000 square miles. Its present boundaries are the Gulf of Bothnia on the west, Norway on the north, the governments of Archangel, .and Olonetz, and the Lake Ladoga on the east, and the Gulf of Finland on the south. It stretches almost to the gates of St. Peters burg. In 1808 it was separated from Russia by Rus sian Finland—that is to say, by that part of the grand duchy of Finland which the treaties of peace of Nistad, in 1721, and of Abo, in 1743, had taken from it on the other side of the river hymen. These acquisitions did nut satisfy Russia, which from the time of Peter I. had ardently coveted the possession of the whole of Finland. The neighbourhood of the Swedish province was a source both of trouble and anxiety. The Emperor Alexander could not forget that in theyear 1788, during the last war with Sweden, Gustavus 111., at the head of nearly 40,000 men in Finland, had thrown Petersburg into the greate l t consternation, and that the court had determined to seek refuge in Moscow. The slimes of Finland are the part of the country most densely populated, but at the same time its vulne rable side. Although defended by forts and numerous lines of military communications, they are not the less accessible to attacks of an enemy who is master of the sea. Such an enemy might cut off these com munications by landing detachments of troops, and assist a Swedish army to recover the country. This as sistance would be the more powerful, as it would be, ac cording to all probability, assured of the assistance of the population, generally hostile to Russia, and tired of its domination. The configuration of a territory so circumstanced as Finland gave to this province at the time of the Russian invasion great natural means of defenCe. It was pre pared, as if on purpose, for a war of detail. But at the very commencement these advantages were paralysed by the plan acted upon by the defenders of retiring before the enemy, in accordance with the formal a d impera tive orders of the whimsical and presumptuous Gustavus IV. The b structicns, in fact, given by the King to Count Klingsporr,_generabin-chief of the army of Fin land, on the 31 of February, in anticipation of a coining rupture on the part of Russia, prescribed the relinquish ment of the country at the approach of the enemy. The Swedish army was composed only of its Finnish regiments, all communication with Sweden being cut off by the ice in the Gulf of Bothnia. The lakes and rivers which in summer form such powerful obstacles to au ad vancing army, were frozen to a depth which enabled them to bear artillery on their surface, and the shores themselves of the Gulfs of Bothnia and Finland lined with ice prevented the approach of all maritime assist ance. Swedish Finland was thus left to itself, a province contending against an empire. Acting on these con siderations, the King, in the in structions to Count Klingsporr charged him to restrict himself to savi ng as much of the army as could be saved, to throw into S wart h olm and 'Sweaborg as many troops as these places would hold, and tocause the remainder to retreat towards East Bothnia in the best order that might be possible, until other measures should be taken at the opening of the navigation for reconquering the coun try. This, however, was looking at things on one side only. No consideration was given to the fearful obsta cles which the Russians themselves would experience from the extreme rigour of the climate that year, when the cold was so intense that the thermometer stood at 30 degrees (centigrade), and when the snows lay six feet deep. The severity of s uc h a temperature, the want of resting-places, and the extreme poverty of the country were preparing terrible troubles and great sufferings for an army so badly clothed as that of Russia, without magazines and demoralised by recent reverses in the c divided i nto three columns, and e Buxhowden who had under him o , in , e aa i n g i n dteu of d s sbiaya Count Friedland, ar iiiy T Generals Mtieswoki, Suchtelen, author of a narrative of the war, Bagration, Toutchkoff, Kamenski, and others, crossed the river Kymen, the b oundary of the two states, at Aherfors, Stromborg, and K e l t i s, the 21st of July, 1808. It was proceeded by two proclamations ad dressed, one to the Finns, the oth er to the Swedish army. The first announced, without proof, an attemt at however, that the Emperor of Russia y was driven by the conduct of the King of Sweden, and by conside rations of the safety of his own kingdom, to place Fin laud under his own protection and take possession of it. The second excited the army to defection and de sertion. - - Gustavus IV., when he heard of this aggression on the part of a power but yesterday hi s ally, very impro perly replied to it by a violation of the rights of nations. On the 3d of Marcb, 18 08 , he ordered the arrest of the j Russian Minister at Stockholm, M. d' A l opceus. The Emperor Alexander . took care not to imitate this pro • ceeding, but be se ized the opportunity to declare to Europe that he was in corporating w i th his own states that part of Finland which his troops had already con- Klingsporr, who had quered. This was unmasking the int en ti on of the war, ud the app roac h i and the covetousness which occasioned it. The Russian General-in-Chief, Buxh ow d en, advanced rapidlyTe come to Swedish fr wa o r mdie Stockholm,Tn e a r v a a l, st h K u i s er w cwk h ae e sr r , e p C do oltupeidt with 5,000 men. disputed step by step, and had made every preparation for a battle; but Klingsporr, not daring to assume the resp ons ibi l i ty of contravening the positive orders of his sovereign, and forming an exaggerated estimate of the force of the Rus sians, retreated and abandoned without striking a blow, nearly the whole of Finland to the enemy. The Russians hand nothing to do then, but to march forward. The south and centre of Finland, the isl an d of Aland and Gothland, fell thus into their hands at the commence ment of April, 1308. The war was not terminated. Count Klingsporr bad retreated, it is true, towards the north, but he had pre served the important part of his army. Hi, march was not interrupted, and his line of retreat w as not cut off. An hostile return on his part might any d a y c h ange the situation. In order to avert this danger, and to put an end to it, Count Buxhowden had thrown forward all his forces iu the direction of Uleaborg, with orders to attack the enemy wherever they should come up with him. But Klingsporr after having continued his march by Limango and Brabestad, all of a sudden assumed the offensive, and gained a marked advantage at Sika,- jocki,in a contest which was the first truly serious affair of the campaig n . Then recommencing his retreat almost immediately, bo concentrntoil ha army on Lumijooko and Limango, whilst the Russians did the same near Brahestad and Karikinda, above Braheat a d: O n t h e 27th of April, as sum i ng the offensive a second time, the Swedish general completely defeated' Russians at Revolax, where General Boulatotf was wounded and made prisoner. Five days afterwards, on the 2d of May, Col. Sandals cut in pieces a Russian corps atPul killa, north of Saint Michel, in-the Savolax, and carried off a whole park of artillery. He also recaptured Kuopio. Klingsporr, on his side, reoccupied Eraliestad, which had been evacuated by Toutchkoff on the report of an in surgent movement manifesting itself at various points. After having taken a fortified position on the north bank of the Pyhajocki, be pushed forward a reconnaissance towards Ksjana, in Eastern Finland, whilst Toutchkoff fortified himself at Himango and Gamle Carleby. The Swedish army, reinforced by troops from Sweden, reck oned then about 18,000 men. However, it was the time when the frost sets in, and when the snow falls, and all important operations were obliged to be suspended ; Colonel Sandels alone surmounting every obstacle, con tinued his course in Eastern Finland. He spread so much alarm that it was necessary not only to send to the spot, with the greatest precipitation, the troops located in the environs of St. Petersburg, in order to cover Nys lott, but also to despatch a division which advanced in all haste to Kuopio. It had also been found necessary to detach a portion of the corps of cavalry blockading Sweaborg, to defend and keep in order the country of Heinola. Sweaborg, a place of the first rank and importance, was on the eve of capitulation. On the Bth of May it surrendered, although it was not at all proved that the resistance might not have been prolonged. This was a valuable indemnification to the Russians for the reverses which they were then experiencing. The Swedes, in their turn, retook the islands of Goth land and Aland. They failed, however, in other expedi tions despatched from Swedish ports. The most impor tant of these failures were the expeditions directed against Abo and Wasa. In revenge Count Klingsporr ordered an attack on Ny-Carleby, which was taken by General Adlerkreuz and Colonel Grippenburg, hi spite of the vigo rous resistance of General Jaukowitch. During this time General Barclay de Tolly had ad vanced from Nyslatt and Wilmaustraudt, through the Savolax, driving before him Sandels, whom he had forced to evacuate Kuopio, and marching onwards to join Raiewski, who had replaced Toutchkoff in command of the troops destined to hold Klingsporr in check. The Russians were desirous of forcing the S seclish general back upon Tone°, on the other side of the Gulf of Both nia. But two vigorous, though fruitless, attacks made by Sandels, on the 25th and 27th of June, against Kuopio, which had been left in charge of General Rak manuff, determined Barclay do Tolly to return to that town to reinforce the troops in occupation, and to watch over his defence himself. From the 30th of June be was attacked there by the Swedes, and he only suc ceeded in repulsing them after a murderous contest. At this period Raiewski, deceived in his hopes of being rejoined by Barclay de Tolly, who had contented him self with sending him two regiments, threatened in front by the superior force of Klingsporr, and rendered anxious by insurrections which had just broken out along the whole coast to the south of \Vasa, evacuated that town on the lst July, and concentrated the main body of his troops on Salmi to cover the centre of Finland. On the 2d, C,lonel Wlastoff, who was bringing. him the two regiments despatched by Barclay de Toffy, de feated Col. Fiaudt at Hindulaks. Fiaudt, attacked on the 11th at Perko, by Jaukowitch, was reAllsed in the direction of Gamle Carleby. On the Bth Raiewski had dislodged a Swedish regiment from Happo ; he then fed back towards Tavasthus, and took up a position at Alavo on the 19th of July. There being harassed by a partisan corps under the orders of a sergeant of the name of Root, seeing his communications intercepted, and his convoys seized, and in danger of being cap tured with his corps, he made a hasty retreat upon Ta vasthus. .On the 6th and 13th of July other expeditions from Sweden made two attempts to get poss,.ssion of Kris. twiestad, on the south-west coast. Each time the Swedish forces were driven back to their vessels by Colonel Orloff Denisoff, who wag occupyitg Kristiniestad and Kasco on the shore, and Kauhaj oc ki i n th e i n t er i or . On the 20th of July th e Russians defeated, at the foot of the bridge at Finnstrom, a corps of insurgents, sup- i ported by the troops of the garrison of Waza, which the Swedes had just re.oecupied. On the 27th they were beaten at Kauhajocki. At the same time the Swedish naval force effected a new landing at Kristinie stad, their troops took possession of this town for the third time, but they were for the third time driven out again. At length Kauhajocki, retaken by Orloff Deni soff, is reconquered on 2d August by the Swedes. We see that up to this time the successes were about equal on both sides, and that the Swedes could only be con quered by a superior force. The Russian army, in fact, was receiving daily numerous reinforcements—its forces increased every day, whilst those of Sweden were weak ening by the efforts made during their heroic but un equal resistance. On the Ist of September, General Kamenski marched towards Sippola, at the head of a very considerable body of troops. Klingsporr immediately evacuated Wasa, and fell back on Gamle Carleby. Attacked by Kamenski at Orawais, he was defeated aft er a p ar ti a l success in the most bloody battle of the war. From that time, despairing of regaining Finland with the feeble resources which remained, he returned to Stock holm to make known the situation to the King Gusta vus IV., who would not listen to his representations. When he left be had given up the command of his army to the old General Klercker. Kamenski advancing along the Gulf of Bothnia, drove this army from position to position to Brahestadt. The Swedish army was. sta tioned at Salo, Palo, Savolax, and Pailsocki—the van guard at Piehangi. It had suffered cruelly in the retreat. Reduced to 6,000 men, by fatigue, sickness, and misery, getting no subsistence from the sea, which was covered with ice, deeply discouraged, and unable to make head against an enemy so superior in strength, it was placed in the most critical situation. Its generals deeming, therefore, resistance no longer possible, deter mined to communicate with Kamenski, for the purpose of treating of the evacuation of Finland. They obtained at first, on the 16th'of November, 1808, a suspension of arms for two days, on the condition of abandoning Brahestadt, and of pushing back their vanguard to Olki jocki. On the 29th a convention was signed, in virtue of which they evacuated the part of the shore which they still held, and retreated to Tornea. The armistice was to terminate on the 27th of December—it was after wards prolonged indefinitely. But the Emperor Alexander disapproved of these ar rangements. Availing himself of the thickness of the ice which covered the Gulf of Bothnia in the month of January, 1809, he prepared an expedition for the pur pose of taking the Aland Islands. At the same time be ordered General Schowaloff, first, to denounce the ar miitice, and then to drive back the remains of the Swedo- Finnish armies upon the western coast of the Gulf of Bothnia, and to advance into Western Bothnia by way of Tomes and Pitea. The two corps d'armee commenced their march in the month of March, 1809. The Aland Isles were defended by General Dobelu, and attacked by the corps of Bagration. The Swedish forces, although hard pressed, made a n o b s ti na t e resistance. But Dobelu, informed by a courier of the revolution at Stockholm— which had just overturned the throne of Gustavus IV. and had placed the regency of th e ki ng d om i n the hands of the Duke of Sudermania—communicated this event to the Russian generals, and prayed fora suspension of hostilities. This was refused ; and Dobelu, forgotten in the midst of the events that were happening at Stock holm, was soon reduced to the necessity of a precipitate retreat. In the meantime Schowaloff made himself master of Tornea, and compelled General Grippenberg to sign at Catix, on the 25th March, a convention, by which the remainder of the Finnish army was disbanded, and the whole country between Catix and Tornea ceded to the Russians. Thus ended the war which brought Fin land under the dominion of Russia—a war which, if the measures of the Finnish general had been better pre pared in anticipation of a•surprise—if the military forces of Sweden, which, although amounting to upwards of 100,000 fighticg men, were yet insufficient for the de fence of Finland, had been more effectively employed — might have had a very different result. Nay, there is reason to believe, that had it not been for the initial oversight, had it not been for Klingsporr's disastrous retreat before an enemy whom he had never yet fought with, and whom subsequently he vanquished more than once, under circumstances far less favourable, Finland would have remained a Swedish province. The responsibility fell ultimately on the King, Gustavus IV., whose intervention, equally irrational and despotic, crippled the operations of his generals, and was the principal cause of their reverses. Upon him also fell the penalty. Everybody knows how much the loss of Fin land influenced that national movement which tore from his brow the ancient and glorious crown of Sweden. ODESSA.—Odessa contains about 70,000 inhabitants, lies on the linean or estuary of the little river Peressip, in the Black Sea. The harbour is bad, but the roadstead has some advantages. This town was founded by Cathe• rine 11., in 1792, and rose rapidly under the judicicus administration of the Duke de Richlieu, a French emigre, under Alexander. It owes its flourishing condition to the exportation of wheat from Podolia, Bessarabia, and New Russia. The population is very mixed, presenting specimens of most nations subject to and bordering on Russia. There are two harbours, one for Russian ships of war and coasters ; the other the quarantine harbour, for ships coming from the Bosphorus. It has twenty streets; madadarnised, or paved with granite. The houses, all built of stone, aro very respeotable and sub stantial structures. Including its cathedral, it has no fewer than twenty-two churches, sixteen docks, thirty bridges, bazaars, baths, and a theatr.s. There is also a college, which was founded in 1817, and which, in 1840, had no fewer than thirty-two tutors, and nearly tw hundred students. Other ed ucational establishments exist, and are equally flourishing.

THE SUSPICIOUS YANK EE CRUISER GRAPE• SHOT. It is stated that the Grapeshot, a vessel that created some stir by being reported some time since in the Eng lish Channel as a Yankee privateer, " has cleared out in a most mysterious tnanuer from New Orleans, with a cargo of muskets."

Despatches, of which the following are copies, have been received from Vice Admiral Sir Charles Napier, R.C.8., Commander-in-Chief of her Majesty's ships and vessels in the Baltic : CAPTURE OF TWO TOWERS OF BOM4PSUND. No, 354. Bulldog, off Bomarsund, An. 14. Siat,-1. At f our o ' c l ock in the morning of ' th B e 5 13th instant the French battery, of four 16-pounders and four mortars, opened a splendid fire on the western tower, which commands the fortress of Bomarsund and the an chorage : a white flag was displayed in the afternoon, which led to nothing ; but on the morning of the 14th the tower was surprised by the Chasseurs. General Jones's battery of 32-pounders was finished in the night and ready to open ; but not being wanted was turned against the eastern tower, and on the morning of the 15th ho opened his fire: the battery Wll4 manned by seamen and marine artillery fro m th e four ships named in the margin*, under the direction of Captain Ramsay, of the Rogue, assisted by Commander Preedy, Lieutenant Somerset, of the Duke of Wellington, and the officers named in the rnagin ±; their fire was beautiful. 2. At six p.m. one side was knocked in, and the tower surrendered. In the attack on the western tower the Chasseurs, with Minnii; rifles, were employed so successfully, that it was difficult for the enemy to load their guns ; in the attack on the eastern tower we had no Chasseurs, and they were enabled to load their guns with more facility. 3. Our loss has been trifling, one man killed and one wounded, but I have to lament the death of the Honour- able Lieutenant Cameron Wrottesley, R.E., who was mor tally wounded by a cannon ball, and died twenty minutes after he had been sent to the Belleislo. 4. The enemy had 6 men killed ; 7 wounded, and 125 were taken prisoners. I have sent the latter to the Ter magant. 5. The loss of the French at the western tower was also trifling. 6. IToth batteries were admirably constructed and ad mirably fought, which accounts for the small loss. Goneral Jones speaks in high terms of the conduct of the seamen and marine artillery, and the precision of their fire. 7. During the time theoperations weregoing on, Gen. Ba raguay d'Hilliers was employed in establishing his breching batteries against the fortress, and the French and English steamers, as par margin,::: supported by Trident (bearing the flag of Rear-Admiral Pecan), Duperre, Edinburgh, and Ajax, kept up a well-directed fire f rom th e i r shell guns, and very much damaged the fortress, w hil s t C aptain the on. F. T. Pelham, of the Blenheim, kept up a beau tiful fire from a 10-inch gun, landed in the battery we had driven the enemy out of a few days before. His position was one of great danger, but the battery was put in such good order by Captain Pelham, that the men were well covered, and he bad no loss. 8. The General's breaching batteries will be resii.p by to-morrow, and they shall be well supported by the ships of-the-line of both nations, and the steamers. The narrow. ness of the ground on which the General has established his breaching battery, very much ircuniscribes the space ; the greatest caution will be necessary to prevent firing on his troops, and the littl e s p ace i n t h e anchorage before BornarsunCl, and the intricacy of the navigation, will pre vent ships approaching the main fortress so near as could be wished; but when the batteries are established acting in the rear of the fort, and supported by the shell guns in front, it cannot hold out more than a few hours. 9. I have put off to the last moment the departure of the mail, but I shall send an extra courier the moment the fort surrenders. 10. The western tower was fired either by accident or design, I do nut kn ow w hi ch, and blew up at eleven a.m. yesterday. 11. I am sorry to add that Lieutenant Cowell, Royal Engineers, Aide-de-camp to Brigadier-General Jones, was unfortunately wounded in the leg by the accidental discharge of his pistol ; he is now on .board the Belieisle, doing well, but the loss of his services is much to be regretted.--I hare, &c., (Signed) GRAS. NAPIER, Vice-Admiral and Commander-in-Chief. The Secretary of the Admiralty. P.S. —A return of the whole of the force landed, and of casualties, will he forwarded by the next opportunity, to gether with an inventory of stores and list of prisoners. SURRENDER OF BOMARSUND. Bulldog, off Bornarsund. August 16, 1854. Sir,—ln continuation of my despatch of this date, I bog you will inform their lordships that, after sending away the mail, the fortress opened a heavy fire on Captain Pelhain's battery, which had annoyed them much, and which he maintained all yesterday and to-day, and it is wonderful how he and his men escaped. He had with him Lieutenant Close and Mr. Wildman, mate, of whom he speaks highly. Seeing his position, I immediately ordered the ships and steamers named in the margin,§ who were within range with their 10-inch guns, as well as the French mortars ou shore, which had been playing on them 'some time, to give them a shot and shell every five minutes ; and their fire was so well directed that the enemy held out a flag of truce. 2. I sent Captain Hall (of the Bulldog) on shore, who was shortly joined by Admiral Parseval's Aide-de-Camp, and two of General Baraguay d'Hillier's staff, and the troops in the fortress agreed to lay down their arms and march out. 3. After I had landed I was .joined by the French Ad mina and the Commander-in-Chief of the Army ' • the pri soners (about 2,000 I believe) w ere marc h e d out and em barked in steamers, and proceeded to Led Sund, to Com modore the Hon. Frederick Groy, who will conduct them to the Downs to await further orders. 4. I bog to congratulate their Lordships on the fall of this important fortress, which will be followed by the the submission of the Garden of Islands, with so small a loss •, and I am happy to say the greatest cordiality has subsisted between the French General and Admiral and myself, as well as between the soldiers and sailors of the two nations. 5. As soon as I can collect 4 list of the stores captured, it shall bo forwarded to"their lordships, and a Commissary has been named for that purpose. 6. This despatch will be delivered by my Flag Lieute nant (Lieutenant John do Courcy Agnew), whom I beg to recommend to their Lordships fur promotion.—l have, &c., (Signed) CHARLES NAPIER, Vice-Admiral and Commander-in-Chief.

Yesterday a deputation, consisting of Mr. T. B. Simp son, Cremorne-house ; Mr. W. Luce, King'a AMID Hotel, Hampton -court ; Mr. J. W. Adams, - Star and Garter, Keve-bridge and Mr. J. Kirby, White Lion, IPutney, waited on Sir Richard Mayne, at Scotland-yard, to state the grievances inflicted upon them and upea - the public by the operation of the new set, and to take hip opinion as to the meaning . of the word "traveller." Mr. Hinton, Highbury Barn, and Mr. Conquest, Earl* Tavern, although unable to attend, concurred in the ob. ject of the deputation. Mr. T. R. Surssox introduced the -deputation, and stated their object to be to take Sir Richard's advice as to the best mode of proceeding under the new ; act, and to show how seriously it interfered, not with their in- terests, but with the recreations and comforts of the public. Mr. Lret wished to call the commissioner's attention to the hardship that had been inflicted in bis,caae. His customers were principally gentlemen who came more distinctly under the designation of travellers tlaan those who had been so defined by Mr. Long in his decision re- specting Jack Straw's Castle. He had requested 1101132 of them to put down their names in a book, an& to stat• their opinions of the new act, and he begged the com missioner to look over it. (Mr. Luce here produced a book containing the signatures of persons from almost all parts of the world—Cairo, Turin, United States, Ire land, Scotland, Germany, &0., who having visited his house on S un d ays s i nce t h e pass i ng o f the act, protested in various languages against its inconvenience and op presiee character.) These parties all applied to him for refreshment as travellers, and his object in attending there was to ask the commissioner in how far the inspec tor was justified in summoning him for etipplying them. Sir R. MAINE said that it was the duty of the polies to obtain cases for the decision of the magistrates. His duty was merely executive—to see that the law Wll,B obeyed. It was for the magistrates to decide on the proper interpretation of the law. With 'respect to the traveller's book which Mr. Luce had produced, the pro oLbuaotboitdlhioteyol.waw in a was that hand notthatall the inconvenient th etravellers had come last from slightest or dispositionossie m to a c n a n rry er, m but it wa s i mportant that theftning pp v of r t e he wdrd " tra veller" should be decided by the proper tribunals. He was sorry if trade was inconvenienced, but he should not be doing his duty did he not bring the cases before the magistrates. Mr. Luc said he eruppoied that in districts where the magistrates had decided the police would not again interfere. The COMMISSIONER said it was not for him to say. If a number of magistrates decided the same way, it would of course be a guide to him in carrying out the acts. Mr. LUCE observed that, from the mode in which the act Lad been hurried through Parliament, at the close of the session, one half the public were not aware of its pro• visions. Sir R. MAYNE repeated that he had nothing to do with that matter. His duty was to see the law exe cuted; but it was no part of his intention to have it carried out in a harsh or oppressive manner. He had told the superintendent to caution Mr.' Luce on last intended to that h e was i n f r i ng i ng th e law, and he to take the opinion of the magistrate. By that opinion he, of course, would be guided in future proceedings. Mr. LUCE wished to take Sir Rrchard's opinion as to whether, the police having obtained sufficient evidence of the infringement of the law in his coffee room on Sun day last, they were justified in insisting upon entering private rooms, when parties were at dinner. Sir R. MAYNE said that that depended on the circum stances of the case. He Would cause inquiry to be made. Police officers had a right to do many things from which they refrained, as his instructions to them always was to carry out the law with as much moderation :is possible. Mr. T. B. SIMPSON said that hie case differed some what from that of Mr. Luce, but equally showed the unfair operation of the act. indeed, he believed that if Parliament had known the real nature of the case they would never have passed it at all. Sir R. MAYNE asked whether it had not been brought in by Mr. W. Patten ? Mr. B. SIMPSON—Yes, he had endeavoured to con form to the act as much as possible, but last Sunday had not been able to please the inspector. He had closed all the bars, and hail ceased to serve customers before 10 o'clock, but found it iinpossibe to clear the people out for 20 minutes after. The inspector said he must report, but he (Mr. Simpsot ) wanted to know how he was to clear 1,500 people yet of his grounds in less than 20 minutes. He had been told that at Gravesend the act was set at open defiance, and that at the. Star and Garter, Richmond, business was carried on just as usual. The inspector bad told him he must clear out at 10, as an example to his neighbours, but it should be recol lected that they had probably to clear out only 12 feet square, while he had 12 acres. They might have 20 people to remove, while he had 1,500. The inspector turther asked him why the house could not be cleared on Sunday as well as on Saturday night ; but his answer was, that in one case the, people knew the law, and thought it just ; in the other, they did not, and thought the curtailment of their liberty unreasonable. On Satur day night the bell rang, and in five minutes every one was uut ; but on Sunday, on the same signal, there was almost an el,clAtOn the grounds, so angry were the pub lic at'what they considered to be an arbitrary and tyran• nical restriction. They yelled, hooted, and tumbled the lamps and glasses about. He had had averages of 7,000, 8,000, and 10,000 people at Creinorne on Sunday after noons, and order and decorum were preserved by one policeman. These crowds were no drunkards, but respect able members of the community, who, having saved their money during the week, came out to enjoy the fresh air on Sundays. Sir R. MAYNE{ said lie could himself speak to the good order which prevailed in Cremorne-gardens, but the question they bad now to consider was, that there was a certain law, and they must conform to it. He should think, however, that if the sale of liquors was honestly closed at ten o'clock, a reasonable time might be allowed by the police for clearing the grounds. He meant, of course, a boila fide closing ; as the law might be evaded by buying a large quantity just before the i time. (Sir R. Mayne then sent for the summoning book, and showed that although several summonses had been issued, the cases did not agree with that described by Mr. Simpson.) Mr. KIRBY (White Lion, Putney) said that on last Sunday he had several gentlemen come to his house in broughams and phaetons, who ordered dinner. They also wanted wine and ale, and he wiaied to know whe ther he should be justified in supplying them ? Sir R. Mayss declined giving any opinion on th construction of an act of parliament. All he had to was to see the law executed. Mr. KIRBY said that one-half the public were aware that such a law had been passed. The fact was, that the whole trade had been " sold" by the Licensed Victuallers' Protection Society, which was governed by about a dozen bin-shop keepers in London, whose busia ness was quite different from that of suburban hotels. He was obliged to lay in poultry, fish, and other perish able food, and if not allowed to sell them on Sunday they would all be dead loss. Mr. ADAMS (Star and Garter) said be had a table d'hote on Su n days for r e spect a ble people coming from London. All the food would be lost, if he were obliged strictly to obey the late act. Sir R. MAYNE said that these cases might be hard ships, but the question for him to ascertain was, what the law was, and to have it executed. He wished that done as moderately as possible, and for that reason ha d suggested the taking of all power from the common in former. The summonses were now all applied for by the police, and he refused more than he granted. The deputation then withdrew, having first thanked Sir Richard Mayne for the great courtesy with which they had been received. SURREY ZOOLOGICAL GARDENS.
