Mr. Richards (a Barrister), Mr. Buckstone. When the accomplished author of " Ten Thou sand a-Year" was composing the remarkable nar rative which at once elevated him to a high posi tion amongst living authors, he little imagined that there was then residing in Yorkshire a gen tleman who, under circumstances no less remark able than those so graphically described, would, without any fault of his own, forfeit an estate of, as nearly as possible, equal value to the " dear old Gatton," and with it a peerage of more than three centuries' antiquity—who would become even a greater object of sympathy than CHARLES AURREY, inasmuch as a blight would be cast on the character of his venerable mother, and he himself stained with the brand of illegitimacy. The case of Lord MOUNTGARRET is, indeed, one of unparalleled hardship, and, should h still pending litigation be eventually determined t e in accordance with the first verdict, which may well excite terror in the mind of every family whose ancestor, through whom title or estate has been derived, crossed the Tweed during his bachelor days, a marriage contracted be tween parties of equal rank, and in every respect suitable, which had been recognised for no less than forty-three years, has at the end of that time been declared to be null and void. The lady who, during that time, maintained an irreproach able reputation, held to have been living in a state of concubinage, and her only son, who, from the time of his birth, had been recognised as the ex pectant heir to the ancient title • and wide-spread domains, deprived of the inheritance and honours of which he had been eight years in the actual en joyment. This too has occurred, not through the discovery of any prior right—not to the turning up of a " lost heir," but through the alleged illegitimacy of the possessor (!). In consequence of a supposed prior marriage contracted by his father. To the circumstance of that marriage it is, therefore, necessary to direct attention. HENRY BUTLER, third son of the Eleventh Viscount MOUNTGARRET, by Lady HENRIETTA BUTLER, daughter of the First Earl of CARRICK, and Eighth Viscount SKERRIN, ;vas born in the year 17 1 73. In his youth he had been very wild, having, even before he attained his majority, oc casioned a divorce between a neighbouring Baronet and his wife. For some time he oc casioned considerable uneasiness to his family, but e eb ---eee ee ee - - - - at length in 1811, when in his 38th year, he formed lan eligible alliance with ANNE, daughter and co heir of JOHN HARRISON, Esq., of Newton House, in the county of York. From that time forth the Hon. BUTLER led a very prudent life. It is more than hinted that there is to be He had s acquired property by his marriage, another attempt on the part of Russia to enter and no longer became involved in dis into fresh negotiations on the basis of the condi- reputable transactions.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR, —A paragraph having appeared in your paper of the 25th, referring to the natural advantages of draining the town of Holt, in the county of Norfolk, in which your correspondent states that not only have the inha bitants neglected to take advantage of it, but also the Proprietors of the property have refused ta find the ne cessary accommodation for their tenants, and which will naturally lead your readers to suppose that the authori ties of Holt, together with the rest of the inhabitants (of which your correspondent speaks of in no measured terms of disgrace), must be a filthy, uncivilised race, in reply to which, I beg to state that I have been an inhabitant and ratepayer of this said parish of Holt since the year 1837. At that time the town was rudely paved, the drains all running on the surface of the streets, and in a very bad state of repair. That within the last fifteen years not only have old buildings been removed from the centre of the town by the spirited subscriptions of the owners and tenants of the property, assisted by the neighbouring gentlemen, but also the in habitants voted a highway rate, several years ago, for the purpose of layin g d own a common sewer t o d ra i n t h e tbwn and other repairs. The streets were well paved and :macadamised, obstructions removed, and a neat granite kerb, with a York flag-stone walk, through the i e tire main street of the tow n , f or w hi c h ( as an o ffi cer o the parish) I have paid upw ar d s o f 1,2001. A n d fur t er, I will venture to say (instead of the small parish of Holt, with its 1,700 inhabitants, being in the dirty and filthy state which your correspondent describes) there is not a cleaner, healthier, or better drained town in Eng land than Holt, in the county of Norfolk. I am, Sir, yours very respectfully, W. PARKE. Feathers Hotel, Holt, Aug. 26, 1854. DEPARTURE OF HER MAJESTY FOR SCOTLAND.—The Queen, and Prince Albert leave Osborne for Scotland on the 14th of September. PRINCE ALBERT'S BlRTHDAY.—Saturday being the anniversary of Prince Albert's birthday, the national coilours were hoisted at Somerset House, the Admiralty, the Tower, -and most of the public buildings and churches in the metropolis, the steeples sending forth merry peals of bells in the course of the day. In the evening the inhabitants of the West End evinced their ldyalty by illuminations ; among the most attractive were the following :—The Cambridge University Club house, Pall-mall; displayed over the portico a large crown, with the' royal initials, " P.A.," and a sta r i n brilliant jets of gas ; Messrs. Pnsenby and Co., carvers and . gilders to her Majesty, an elegant star (with the royal arms in stained glass in the centre), with the initials " P.A." in gas jets ; Messrs. Storr and Mor timer, jewellers to her Majesty, 156, Bond-street, exhibited an elaborate illumination in gas—over the royal arms was a star-crown, with the initials " P.A.," and laurel branches effectively displayed ; Messrs. Asprey arid Ca., dresing-case makers to the Queen, Bond-street, a crown, with the royal initials, "P.A.," in gas ; Messrs. Thornhill and Co., cutlers to the court, 144, Bond-street, a large brilliant star, in gas. In Regent -street—No. 194, Messrs. Melton, hatters to Prince Albert, a star, in gas ; No. 167, Messrs. Aubert awl Co., jewellers, &c., a star, with the royal initials, in variegated lamps. Mitchell's Royal Library, Old Bond-street, exhibited a large Brunswick star, a wreath in centre, awl the initials, "P.A.," in jets of gas. The event was celebrated at Woolwich by hoisting the Royal Standard on the various flagstaffs at the Dock- , yard, Garrison, and Royal Arsenal. The Fisguard-was decorated with flags, and a royal salute fired at twelve o'clock from the front of the Mortar Battery. :BIRTHDAY OF HIS ROYAL HIGHNESS PRINCE ALBERT. —On Saturday last, the 26th inst., the gun division of the Hon. Artillery Company assembled at the head quarters of the regiment, in Finsbury, at one o'clock, under the command of Capt. Robinson and Lieutenant Kitchen, and fired a royal salute on the occasion of the birthday of his Royal Highness, who is Captain-General and Colonel of this corps. The duty was performed in the mc.st admirable style, and in such a manner aa to elicit, for this and their general duties, the wannest ex pressions of praise from Captain Robinson. After some remarkably good practice in the rifle gallery of the regi ment, and the conclusion of the dinner, the men were dismissed at six o'clock. The officers snd men appeared in their full dress uniform, as is usual on such occasions, and the adjutant of the regiment was present on the pa rade, but not being an artillery officer, took no part in the duties of the day. ALBERT SMITH AT OSBORNE.—On Saturday, Mr. Albert Smith had the honour of appearing in his enter tainment before her Majesty, the Prince Consort, the Duchess of Kent, the royal children, and a distinguished circle of visitors. The council-room, in which the per formance took place, was fitted up t o resem bl e t h e Egyptian-hall as clo se ly as possible. At the close of the performance, her Majesty and Prince Albert were gra ciously pleased to express to Mr. Smith their sense of the great amusement which they had derived from the entertainment. St. James's Theatre is announced to be opened about the end of September for dramatic performances, under the management of Mrs. Seymour. The enterprise is reported to be well sustained ; and the announcement of a new drama by Messrs. Tom Taylor and Charles Reade looks like an earnest of success. We bear that Miss Glyn is among the leading engagements, and that the performances are to be limited to drame ; with no afterpiece. The common mistake of all managers is to give too much ; to begin too early and end too late. The consequence of this surfeiting system is, that a late dining and indifferent generation of playgoers leave the theatre sulkily resolving not to go again. Mr. Wigan very wisely infringed upon this system, and the result has been equally satisfactory, we believe, to manage ment and public. LICCHIUM THEATIM—The short engagement of Mr. and Mrs. Sims Reeves has proved very profitable to Mr. Allcroft. The Bohemian Girl, the Sonnambula, and Lucia di Lammermoorhaveall been performed to crowded audiences, the first two twice. The popularity of Mr. Reeves with the public is unquestionable, and has not abated in the smallest degree since he was first introduced to London by M. Jullien in 1847, when that enterprising gentleman undertook the management of Drury lane Theatre. It is strange that while there is so great a favourite and so .talented and accomplished a singer as Mr. Reeves, the institution of an English operatic esta blishment on a durable basis should appear to be im practicable. There must be something wrong somewhere. The performance on Saturday night—the last of the series—was for the benefit of Mr. Alleroft, who, having kept faith with the public in all his undertakings since he began to be a caterer for their, amusement, was well entitled to their support. The programme was composed of the Sonnambula, Patter v. Clatter, the Waterman, and other entertainments—a varied and attractive bill of fare. GISI AND Miiiiio.—Seventeen thousand pounds is the 'sum to be paid to Mine. Grisi and Signor Mario for a six months' engagement in the United States. For this very trifling consideration, which is exclusive of the pay ment of all expenses of every description, they will sing three nights a week in whatever, operas they choose. Mr. Hackett, the American actor, represents the specu lation, and half the sum has been paid in 'advance. DANGEROUS ILLNESS OF COLONEL CLIFFORD, M.P. —lnformation has this (Friday) morning reached us that the gallant and respected commandant of the Royal Monmouth Militia has been taken ill at Tenby, where, with Mrs. Clifford, he has been residing a short time. George Wilson, Esq., surgeon, of this town, has just been sent for, and is now on his way to Tenby.—Mon mouth sh ire Beacon. OFFICIAL APPOINTMENTS. —Mr. Thomas Lloyd, of Coerbuore, is appointed Lord-Lieutenant of the county of Cardigan. 11,1 r. Neville Parker is appointed a Puisne Judgo of the Supreme Court of New Brunswick.- Messrs. Toussaint Rostant and Richard S. Darling are appointed members of the Legislative Council of Trini dad. Mr. T. D. Archibald is appointed a member of the Legislative Council of Nova Scotia. SCREN-STRAMRIA FOR AIISTRIA.— Twowar screw- Steamers are now fitting up at the manufactory of Messrs.'Mare and Co., Blackwall, for the Austrian, Go vernment. One is laid out tor 50 guns, and the other will carry a smaller number. These vessels were origi nally designed and ordered for the Sultan of Turkey, but subsequently they were transferred to the Austrian Government. SPORTING NOTES. SCOTT AND LOT AT YORK. Expectation was not disappointed at York. The in terest which the various encounters excited was well sustained to the end, and the incidents which marked the sport are likely to be long rememl.ered and talked about. Speculation on the St. Leger is now percep tibly regulated by the result of certain races, and move ments which had their origin in the events contested at York have already turned its tendency. Boiardo and Acrobat are now the only representatives of Scott's lot in the betting, and if report be true, the " Roarer " will be the trusted champion of the stable at Doncaster. The lot was tried just before the recent meeting, and Boiardo summarily disposed of the pretensions of those animals belonging to it which had until within the last week figured conspicuously in the betting. In this trial, Scythian, it is said, made a most miserable exhibition, and his owner was so deceived and disgusted by his inglorious display, that, in high dudgeon, he has removed all his horses from Scott's stable, and sent them to Findon to be trained there for the future by John Day, senior. This change, it is said, was mutually de sired by John Scott and Mr. Howard. Were " stable secrets" divulged, however, th e person who has most cause to rejoice at it would b e unmistakeably indicated. The success of Meteora for the North and South Biennial Stakes tended to confirm Boiardo's position in the bet ting, as Meteora was, I believe, one of the animals in his trial, and, if lam not misinformed, ran second. Sim Templeman, who rode Meteora in her race at York, was not a little gratified by his success, and Lord Derby, in the presence of several noble and influential patrons of the turf, took an early opportunity after the race of thanking Templeman for the care and patience with which he rode the mare, and expressing his opinions that the doubts which were hinted about Templeman's riding Dervish for the Derby, and the aspersions which were then cast upon his character, were unjust and un. warranted. Sim Templeman deserved this public ac knowledgment of the wrong which had been done him ; for a steadier or more honest jockey never crossed a saddle. The running of Ivan and Middlesex for the North and South Triennial Stakes created. considerable surprise, albeit from different causes. In the expressive language of the "'ring," Ivan seemed a " dead 'un," and everybody appeared eager to "get a tenner out of him." He had, I believe, thrown a curb, and was reported otherwise unfit to run. Hence, therefore, the surprise which his performance created, not only on Wednesday, but also again on Friday, when he ras second to Acro bat for the Great Yorkshire Stakes. The worthlessness of Middlesex's St. Leger chance was unequivocally proved, to the evident astonishment of Baron Roths child, who, in con ideration of a trial with Orestes, deemed he had sufficient reason to expect better things of his horse. Notwithstanding the support which Boiardo now re ceives in the betting, the public regard his pretensions with suspicion, and evidently entertain an opinion that Acrobat, if not a better horse, is at least more suited to stay the St. Leger course. This opinion is not weakened by Acrobat's running on Friday. Respecting Dervish a significant silence has been maintained, and that after all therefore the probabilities are that Boiardo will, as I stated above, be the Whitewall Champion for the St. Leger. Indeed, people who go about saying things, assert that Dervish can't wonond Acrobat mustn't. The tricks which were played during the York Meet ing by parties connected with John Scott's stable ex cited no little surprise and indignation. Is John Scott demented, to place his reputation in jeopardy by coun tenancing and lending his support to the persons im plicated in those shameful transactions ? Is he not afraid of scandalising and disgusting those noblemen and gentlemen who have placed horses under his care ? The repetition of the game which was played with Heapy at Liverpool,. notwithstanding the flimsy excuses about the horse being lame, was alone an instance of a daring defiance of public opinion ; but what can be said of the paltry piece of business with Tadcaster on Wednesday ? John Scott, have a care, and rid your stable of people who will bring lasting disgrace upon it. r shall not now refer to the running of the two-year - old colts at York. Next to the performances of the St. Leger horses, the defeat of Virago is most talked about. She was evidently, out of her distance, and ought never to have aT.y.c s . t o a v r te er d b . red . S , he an m d e s t h s e o was me o e f o tl n i s e fastest eciuentlyhuonrasebso unable e f to r live the pace with them. Indeed, she was defeated and in difficulties before she had run a hundred yards. When the cry was raised that she was beaten, and Wells was seen vigorously using his whip, I was standing by her owner, and heard him mutter, much more in sorrow than in anger, " Oh, my poor mare !" A meeting at Derby and at Chelmsford will take place to-morrow and Wednesday. Their clashing is .infortu nat as Chelmsford will, doubtless, attract a large ma jority of metropolitan speculators. I shall briefly dis miss the items contained in the programmes. To Chelmsford I shall give the priority of consider ation. Of the four nominations for the Mark's Ha!l Stakes, St. Faith is the most attractive. In his absence Ben Laud may taste the wine of success with Bordeaux. For - the Member's Plate, the Black Swan may sing small to a Flageolot, but at present I am inclined to fancy tbat she will be the Fri/44 Donna. To adhere to the " music line," I. shall strike the key note of victory on Guitar for the Brentwood Stakes. Should Nutpecker be in form, he can scarcely lose the Chelmsford Handi cap. For the Cup Stakes I fancy Rackapelt. Without instituting odious comparisons, lam corn. pelled to acknowledge that the "attractions" at Derby are more powerful than those at Chelmsford. The pro gramme promises at least a satisfactory supply of sport. For the Produce Stakes, Orson and St. Clare are the most noteworthy names. By the way, clerks of courses differ as to the manner of spelling the name of the last_ mentioned horse, some spelling it Clair and others Clare. The latter mode is correct, the horse having been named after St. Clare, one of the characters in "Uncle Tom's Cabin." For the Tradesmen's Plate I cannot do better than "stand on" Grand Inquisitor and Amalgamation, the horses that ran first and second for the Ebor Handicap. To pronounce an opinion on the chance of the Grand Inquisitor for the Chatsworth Stakes would be ridiculous until the result of the Tradesmen's Plate be known. For the Chesterfield Stakes an interesting encounter may be anticipated, the nominations comprising, among others, Fayaway, Polydora colt, Clotilde, Saraband, Pole Star, Professor Airey, and Le Fripon. Fayaway and Clotilde shall represent my interest. August 28. A FRESH MAN. CRYSTAL PALACE.—The following is the official return of the visitors and receipts for the past week : At the Svason Doors.

Hum phreys and Wallen, on the 22d instant, offered by auc tion, in 40 building plots, the first portion of an estate of 12 acres, in the above locality. Tile whole (with one exception) were - sold, and some of the best plotS realised at the rate of about 1,7001. per acre, the average of the whole being 9501. per acre. It was un derstood that the land was purchased but a few years since for something less than 1001. per acre. THE TERRIFIC COLLIERY EXPLOSION NEAR BARNSLEY. —Since the explosion Noah Ileeley, one of the men who was so seriously injured at the Lundbill colliery, has died, making a loss of 5 lives. Jackson still lies in a very precarious state. The coroner's inquiry was opened on Thursd a y, w h en a number of witnesses were examined. The jury r e t urned the following ver di c t The unani mous opinion of the jury is, that the 5 men have come to their d ea th s entirely from accident, an d we acqu it th e proprietors of th e colliery of any bl ame or culpability ; but we are of oinion that John Jebson, the contractor , ought to have men in whom he can place more confidence than those be has employed, and that he ought to have used the means which are placed at his disposal for ven tilation by the proprietors. If deceased, Noah Ileeley, had used more caution, the accident might not have occurred." SOUTHAMPTON, Aug 27.—The United States mail steam-ship H ermann, Capt. Higgins, arrived off Cowes last night, en route to Bremen, from New York. Her mails, passengers, and specie for Englamd were landed, as usual, by Isle of Wight steamer. The Hermann brings 70 passengers and about $220,000 for Bremen and Eng land. The Alps having left New York on the 12th inst., the same day on which the Hermann took her departure, her news has been anticipated by the arrival of the former vessel at Liverpool some few days since. Two FARTHING CASES.—At the Winslow . Petty Ses sions, on the 24th inst., before Sir T. F. Freemantle, 1 Mr. E. W. S. Lowndes, the Rev. 11. J. M. Kerr, and Mr. T. F. Fremantle, David and Joseph. Halsey, lads, of Whitchurch, were each charged with having, at that village stolen from a flab!, in the occupation•of Elizabeth and Mary Rose, one turnip, of the value of one farthing. They admitted the charge. It appeared that David had been twice convicted of petty offences, and that the constable looked upon Joseph to be a bad character. As a reason for pressing the case, Mr. Horwood, the complainant, said the crop had been made free with to an annoying extent. The p,ungsters were ordered to pay one farthing damage, one shilling fine, and nine shillings and sixpence costs each, or to be imprisoned in Aylesbury Gaol for a month. To save them from prison they were allowed time for payment, LATEST NEWS. THE WAR. THE ATTACK ON SEBASTOPOL. It is confidently stated that the expedition against the Crimea will sail on the 30th. It will he composed of 70,000 men, of whom 20,000 are Turks. The expedition is provided with 2,000 boats. The troops are full of enthusiasm. Prince Napoleon, who had returned to Constan tinople under an attack of fever, has gone back to join his division. The defeat of the Turks near Kars is not con firmed. ARRIVAL OF OMER PACHA. AT BUCHAREST. VIENNA, Aug. 25.---A telegrahic despatch from Belgrade brings the account of the entry of Omer Pacha into Bucharest on the 22d. He was received with great solemnity, and afterwards- reviewed 12,000 Turkish troops and the Wallachian militia. He has taken up his residence at the Convent of Kotrocomi. RETREAT OF THE RUSSIANS. A telegraphic despatch from Czernowitz, of the 20th, states that the Russians were effecting their retreat across the Pruth with great precipitation, and that thousands of carts had gone to transport the sick and provisions. The demands made for the supply of the storehouses of Wallachia must now have ceased. THE GERMAN POWERS. BERLIN, August 24.—The Correspondence an nounces the approaching conclusion of a treaty, offensive and defensive, between Austria and the Western Powers. The preliminaries are settled. A letter from Munich, 23d, in the Moniteur, says :—" It is positively stated that the Austrian Government has shown itself very well satisfied with the communications exchanged at Rustchuk between Omer Paella and Colkalik. All the ques tions of administrative organisation will be arranged in concert and in a conciliatory spirit between Der vitch Pacha, the commissioner of the Porte, and M. Bach, the brother of the Minister of the Emperor, the Imperial commissioner. As to the question of proper names raised by the approaching re-esta blishment of the national authority in the princi palities, it will only be solved conformably to the conclusions come to after the inquiry which will be instituted by the two Governments." A letterfrom Vienna, 22d, in the Cologne Gazette, says:— "On the 16th inst. Count Esterhazy, our ambassador at St. Petersburg, communicated to Count Nesselrode the Austrian note of the 9th, in which it recommends the French propositions laid down by M. Drouyn de "bye in his note of the 22d July, and states that Austria not only find these conditions just in principle, but that, in the present state of the question, she adopts them completely, which is as much as saying that if they are not now accepted more will be demanded here after. The Prussian note on the same subject was only sent off to St. Petersburg on the 18th, when it was ac companied by a more secret and more confidential despatch." The Breslau Gazette has the following from Vienna, dated the 21st : "It is interesting to see how Russia gives evidence of being more and more disposed to make concessions, according as the attitude of Austria becomes more sig nificant. Count Demidoff, attaché to the Russian em bassy, who arrived some days back, was the bearer of several despatches in that sense. Prince Gortscha koff yesterday handed to Count Buol a note in which Russia proposes a common protectorate of Austria and Russia in the Danubian principalities, with the idea that that step might facilitate a solution. It is not yet known of what nature was the effect produced by this apparent concession, but it is certain that the result will be so much the less satisfactory to Russia that the com plete exclusion of Russian influence on the Lower Danube is in the contemplation, as well as to deprive the Russian Cabinet of all means of menacing Constan tinople. As to Prussia, no further co-operation is ex pected from her, and the return of Count Arnim from Berlin has no longer the signification that it had some days back. Declarations have arrived from several German States, expressing their satisfaction at the policy followed by Austria, and promising to 'support it in the Germanic Diet. .Several Austrian officers of rank are shortly to leave this place to be present at the ma noeuvres of the camp of Boulogne." The Moniteur quotes' the following private cor respondence from the Independance of Brussels : "I am able to make known to you with precise details an act which has already justified the doubts I have expressed as to the correctness of the accounts which stated that Prussia was disposed to break, and, according to some, had even decided on breaking with the policy of the allied powers. You know that the identical notes which France, England, and Austria exchanged at Vienna on the Bth, reproduced as the ne cessary conditions of peace the four guarantees pointed out in the despatch of M. Drouyn de l'Huys to M. de Bourqueney. You are also aware that Austria ad dressed on her part to the Russian Cabinet, in reply to the notification of the order given for the evacuatio❑ of the Danubian principalities, a note which declares that such evacuation could not satisfy the powers assembled at thci Conference of Vienna to secure the independence of the sovereignty of the Sultan, and which mentions as indispensable the four guarantees. Prussia had not been called on to sign the note ex changed between the three powers. Notwithstandit,g that, as soon as she knew that Austria had addressed a note to St. Petersburg, she a few days since sent one strongly supporting it. Prussia in this document does not confine herself to a vague and general recom mendation. She in her turn enumerates the four guarantees : she explains and justifies them one by one, and insists on their adoption by Russia, presenting them to her as the only possible chance for the re establishment of peace. Whatever may be the private hesitations of her Government, Prussia, influenced by the position she assumed at the commencement of the crisis, by the force of circumstances, and by public opinion throughout all Germany, will not, I persist in thinking, separate herself from her allies in the Con ference of Vienna." CONFISCATION OF RUSSIAN ORDERS IN WALLACHIA. A letter from Vienna, says : " The Wallachian Council of Administration of Bucha rest has ordered the confiscation of all the - Russian crosses and decorations conferred on Wallachians during the Russian occupation. These crosses will be sold by auction, for the value of the gold and silver they contain, and are to be melted down. The reason of this measure is, that these decoraticns confer no honour on any one, as all the Montenegrin brigands wear them. A commit tee has been formed to ascertain the amount of the da mage caused by the Russian occupation, in order that an indemnity may be demanded from Russia, when she shall be called on to pay for the expenses of the war. All the decrees issued and all the nominations made by the Russians have been annulled." ENTRY OF THE AUSTRIAN TROOPS INTO WALLACHIA. The Official Gazette of Vienna, of the 22d, says : —" The Austrian troops entered Wallachia yester day. The two brigades of the Woaichio division proceeded from Hermanstadt, and General Burlo also from Cronstadt. Count Coronini, who has been named general-in-chief of the troops of occu pation, will proceed with the two brigades of Schwarz' and Burlo to Bucharest, which place he thinks he shall enter on the sth September. These throe brigades will remain under the command of General Baron Alleman in Wallachia ; whilst i3reneral Count Coronini, as soon as he has posi tively heard that the Russian troops have retreated from Moldavia, will occupy that principality with three other brigades of his corps de armee, and will reside alternately in the two capitals." THE RUMOURED DEFEAT OF THE TURKS IN ASIA. The Constitutionnel contains the following re lative to the rumoured defeat of the Turks in Asia:— , " Intelligence, which has reached Vienna from Warsaw, states that the Turkish army in Asia has been defeated at Kars. A few days before, news had been sent from St. Petersbuig to Austria, announcing a pretended defeat o f t h e Turks at Bayazid, ' on the frontier of Armenia. We may be permitted to en tertain doubts of these rumours published by the Russian telegraph ; and it is to be remarked that they are not in accord amongst themselves, since one speaks of a battle at Bayazid, and the other of one at Kars. It is, however, certain that the two armies were in pre sence recently at Subatan, near Kars, and were observing each other. The Turkish army was more numerous, but it contained within itself an element of weakness, which the nomination of the Hungarian General Klapka to the chief command was destined to remove. The staff of the army was divided, the Mushir Zarif-Pacha had not as y e t g i ven any proof, of activity and decision. Has General Andronikoff taken advantage of the situa tion to risk a battle ? Has he determined in that way to anticipate the arrival of a new and able adversary ? That is what we shall soon learn. But, what we know already i., that the Russian Government is, doing all it can to reinforce its army in Asia. Marshal Paskiewitch has, it is said, proposed, and got adopted at St. Peters burg, a plan which consists of remaining altogether on the defensive in Europe, whilst the war should be pushed on vigorously in Asia. That plan agrees with the an. tecedent life of the Marshal, who owes the greatest part of his military reputation to the successes which h e had obtained i n P ers i a , and in the Asiatic provinces of Turkey. General Andronikoff is a man well fitt e d to execute the part of the plan which is confided to him. He had n o t th e p o l i ti ca l scruples of his illustrious pre decessor, General Woronzoff, and he is far from being wanting in military talents. He is a Greek, whose name was Andronico s , and who Russianised the termination of it. Ilia countrymen are proud of his promotion. They ~. ~ ♦ -. I'7~, i also cry up the hardihood shown by another Greek, in executing with the Russian frigate, the Wladirnir, the coup de main, unattended, however, with any result of importance, which displayed, in spite of the vessels Bruising about, the Russian flag at the entrance of the Bosphorus, and captured three Turkish barges laden with coals. This Greek is named Photiades. It appears that the Russian Government intends to heap honours on him, partly to recompense him for his boldness, and partly to win over the sympathies of his countrymen. THE TURKS IN WALLACHIA. The General-in-Chief of the Ottoman army has addressed the following proclamation to the Wallachians " I have been informed that some of the inhabitants of Wallachia have left, or wish to leave, their country, from the fear of being persecuted by the Imperial Government for services rendered or sympathy mani fested to the Russian troops and authorities. "I embrace this opportunity of declaring that the Government of our august master the Padishah is per suaded that these acts took place under the pressure arising from the presence of an armed force. "I wish to believe tha:l the inhabitants esteem too highly the rights of their country, their nationality, and their manners and customs, to throw themselves by convictions and by free will into the arms of a foreign country. "I am happy at being able to declare that the Im perial Government grants its clemency and holds out complete forgetfulness to those who have been misled, if there be any, and that no one will be persecuted either for his opinions or his political acts in favour of the Russians during their invasion. But, as the Government of our august master throws the veil of oblivion over the past, it has the right to exact, and it does in the most positive manner require, that in future no inhabitant of Wallachia shall enter into relations, either directly or indirectly, with the Russian troops, or with the Russian authorities in general. " Every act of that nature will be regarded as the act of a spy, and the guilty, as well as their accom plices, will be brought before the tribunals of war, and will be judged with all the severity of martial law. •' I hope that the inhabitants of Wallachia will give their obedience and their assistance to the local authorities, in order to re-establish and maintain public order, and that every one will devote himself tran quilly to his own affairs and his ordinary occupations." CONSTANTINOPLE. It is stated that Omar Pacha has received com munications from the Austrian Commander-in- Chief to the effect that the refusal by Russia of the 'ultimatum will be followed by an advance of the Austrian army. Omar Pacha is requested to pre pare to co-operate with the troops ofFrancis Joseph in such a manner as to cause the most speedy expulsion of the Russians. The advance of the Austrians will be a most re-amuring event to all here, where the general opinion seems to be that Austria will ❑ot commit herself to open war with the Czar ; or that, at least, she will endeavour to abstain from attacking his forces, and will be content with oc cnpying the positions abandoned by the retreating Russians. A rumour prevalis here that the Rus sians are about to retire beyond the Pruth, and that a proclamation of the Commander-in-Chief announced the determination to the army of Wal lachia. The marriage of the Sultan's daughter, or rather her delivery to her husband, took place on Thurs day. The hour fixed was one o'clock (or 6 Turkish) but the equipages did not make their appearance until four hours later. The principal dignitaries of the Empire were present and offered their congra tulations to Redschild Pasha, who has now attained the highest position to which a Turkish subject can rise, in having received the honour of a Royal alliance. Every one who has at heart the success of the policy which Redschid Pasha has represented for 15 years, will be glad of the event which has taken place, and which seems to bind the Court to the reforming party, or at least to that Statesman who has generally shown himself anxious to listen to the counsels, and to adopt the maxims, of the Western Powers. Whether or not Redschid has risen superior to the practices which stain his brethren, or whether the invectives of the people against his character, which a few months since were so strong, be well or ill founded, he is still the man whose influence is most valuable in advancing the object of the allies, and whose great acuteness will show him how to use to the utmost the new means of power which the late nuptials have given him. Ho is now, certainly, the most important subject in the empire. Prince Napoleon, who has been staying at The rapia for the last few days, to recover from indis position, will return to Varna. - The cholera, which has been so bad at Varna, and amongst the British and French forrces, has abated. I has, however, cost many victims. It is now showing itself pretty well everywhere, though only in single cases, at Constantinople, Pera, and in the villages along the Bosphorus There has been considerable mortality amongst the Bri tish troops encamped ou the heigtts of Unkiar Skelessi in the Bosphorus. General Prim and all his staff passed through here the other day. They hastily embarked for Spain. CONSTANTINOPLE.—The telegraph has already announced that a fire which broke out at Varna on the 10th, at seven o'clock in the evening, consumed a large portion of that town. Some of the French stores were burnt. The damage done is hot so great as was at first reported. One hundred and eighty houses have been reduced to ashes. It is supposed to have been thQ work of incendiaries, and some Greeks have been arrested. All the transports have proceeded to the Black ea, laden with pontoons, &c. The Charlemagne is lying at Tophana, taking in heavy artillery : and tho Napoleon is embarking Turkish troops for the same destination. THE CAPTURE OF BOMARSUND. -- --- - - - A.u16.--The cannonade upon the long fort . g• having become so warm, that the Governor seeing that he was entirely surrounded, was constrained to surrender, and at 1 p.m. the white flag of truce was thrust out from one of the embrasures. The Edinburgh, Bulldog, and Driver immediately hoisted a similar flag to the fleet to suspend firing, while Sir Chas. Napier and Admiral Chads proceeded in 0, small unarmed boat to the shore. It was a period of , breathless anxiety, for the advanced Chasseurs and some few English sailors were seen mounting the rocks, and eagerly pressing on to the very gates of the fortress. General Baraguay d'Hillers and his staff at the same time wound round the roadway and galloped up to the fort. The General motioned the soldiers to remain off a few yards, for fear of treachery, and at length the Governor, General Bodisco, came forth to parly, but finding that 9.n unconditional surrender was demanded, he delivered up his sword to the English Admiral and French General. A French aid-de-camp was then depatched to order a general advance of the army, and at the same moment the Royal Marines and Artillery, and the remainder of the Chasseurs, came scrambling down the ridges. They at once entered the fortress, surrounded and took charge of the magazine, and the troops pouring down either entered or drew up in line outside. It was a scene of singular interest to behold the conquerors animated with victory, and contrast the dejected air of the Russian soldiers as they bent forth from the embrasures looking sullenly upon them. Under the walls of this huge fortification the ground was completely bestrewed with 841 b. shot, broken shells, grape and canister intermixed with enormous sheets of iron that had been dislodged from the roof, and the granite walls have been broken away in thousands of places. In the interior, which - was a large square and parade ground, the fatal missiles, and heaps of broken granite and brick :work, bespoke the terrible vigour of the siege. The Commanders then demanded the arms, which the prisoners brought and piled up iii the square, near to the furnace where their red-hot shot had been heated, and the soldiery were scouring every nook and corner of the place, and posting senti nels therein. The prisoners having collected their personal baggage, were ordered to be immediately removed on board the men of war. This occupied about half an hour, and the ceremony of playing them out took place. The Commanders-in -Chief, Sir Charles Napier and General Baraguay d'Hilliers, with Admiral Chads, Captain R amsay , C ap t a i n Pelham, Captain Yelverton, General JOnes, the Colonelf of the French Regiment, the Hon. Capt. Cochrane (aide-de-camp to the French Commander), Lieutenant Agnew and Lieutenant Chads (Flag Lieutenants), with a brilliant staff of French officers on horseback, were drawn up in a space of ground on the outside. The whole army lined the way for 800 yards, extending from the gateway to the mole, or landing place, and they stood with loaded guns and fixed bayonets, the Royal Marines and marine artillery being ranged on one side of the entrance, and the Chasseurs on the opposite. Between this file of men the prisoners came forth two by two, the drums and fifes of the marines striking up national tunes, which were taken up by each re giment in the rear. The. Russians looked dispirited and careworn, the only repose they could obtain for five days having been by the side of their guns. At intervals a few drunken shouts ccaped from the fort. A partial revolt had'arisen previous to their surrender, and on seeing the army enter many had rushed to the spirit casks: These men were the last that could be gd , ...out,z and on hearing the music they commenced their! national pastime, and ludicrously danced a Polkaa through • the whole line. Ono man was brtititikta out ; between . two French _, soldiers. 441440 wretch "had been discovered attempting to fire the powder magazine when in a drunken fit. I have heard that the following day he was shot. The large pinnaces .and cutters from the squadron rapidly embarked the men, and i three hours after the surrender they were placed on board th e men - o f- war . I n th e a ft e rnoon the Governor (General B o di sco ), w ith t wo colonels in and - the priest, w ere t a k en on board, company with some few French officers. The Governor, in conversation, had expressed that their chance of holding out longer had become quite hopeless, a 10-inch gun turned from their own mud battery against them, being well handled; he observed a l so th a t th e b attery from tilt heigh.ta was brought t o pl ay upon hi m (this was Captain Ramsay's), and that the French were gradually aa vancing and securing their position. The last two shells that were fired were from Captain Pelham 5 gun on the mud - battery ; they entered the same embrasure, and set fire to the officers' quarters. SWEDEN AND THE ALLIES. COPENHAGEN, August 27.—The Aftonblaclet affirms that General Baraguay d'Hilliers has offe red the King of Swede n f our t en million francs for the first mouth, and seven for succeeding months, as a subsidy to he paid on his actively joining the Western Powers. ALAND. DANTZIC, Saturday.—Th e c h o l e ra is very bad at - Bomarsund. Sixty French soldiers died on the • 23d. The Balmoral steam-ship has arrived. PRUSSIA. • A correspondent writing to a contemporsq r says :—Certainly Prussia is expecting war, and • that soon. The palisades of the ditch are set to all the outworks here. This would not be done unless there was a probability of an early attack; The palisades are generally housed or preserved from the effects of the weather.. If the surmise should prove correct, and war takes place between Prussia and the Western Pow er s, it seems hardy possible for Prussia to e sca p e a revolution or & • change of Sovereigns. The antagonism of politica r. feeling is already pushed to the verge of collision. With one party the King is almost a God. the King wishes, God wills !" the ra ° ""a of the nobles. " I am a no bl e , ar i s tocrat, a ll Royalist," said one of this section, and as he spoke he held out the ring on his for finger. "My ancestors carried this crest ill t Holy Wars. We have been for ages more than tu t , mere companions in arms of the King's family' e have been friends ! Three genet als of rnY." 4 . 1 1 1 30 were killed in the Seven Years' War ; one in war against Napoleon. lam myself a general, M a_1!"-- I - all that I have in the world is for my King. 1, _ boy, not yet higher than my walking-stick, is a der dier already ; he knows the exercise, and can er "d the manual. One day he will be a general, all already he has learnt that his life, his honour even is for his King. What the ing wishes, en wills ! Upon my estates I have nearly 1 , 600 and their families. Every man is a soldier. r th cannot understand why England is at war his • Russia. One of my men, who was decorated f0r....." bravery in 1815, and who is now an old man , to me when he was called on to pay his portico • the extraordinary tax of 15 millions just raise . _ and said, How is this ? • They say we are to go to. war with England. I don't understand it. Fran' indeed, would be another affair.' The King„. l. do as he thinks right.' The King ! Good. o , e , ; is my tax. What the Ki ng w i s hes, God wills. ' In the army generally there is another feeling& which is still more lik e ly th an the purer loyalty 01 the nobles to hurry Prussia into an injurious w, ar : Every Prussian soldier desires to have a shot as 4. Frenchman ! With the commercial classe s, .1 mercantile marine, and generally among the tin yelled yelled and literary men, there exists an opp to the Government, a feeling which is almost to • not absolutely) disloyalty and personal hos tility the King. Among a party of these classes to Pr pose the health of the King would be thought la; Prussian an insult, in a foreigner a mistake. '-uu Prussian would be turned out of the company se the foreigner would be requested to drink soul other toast. A war with England would be a signs': to these meu to offer the crown of Prussia to some other member of the Royal family. They kn° l , that for a time all the strength of an org anise ' force would be against them ; but they rely uf)°,2 l . - - the influence of family and connections m army, and expect that a very short interval WILL suffice to break up its union and strength. This brief summary of. the internal political state of Prussia would be incomplete if 1 10 notice were taken of the extreme aristocracy ; and democracy which are found in the ranks of the two great divisions of the country. But as every , one- knows how much these two principles oppose each other, the object of this letter will be answered if you are made aware that the aristocratic extreme is as tyrannical and Russian as the other is vision ary and uncertain: Enough has been said to show you the danger that menaces society in Prussia. One other element, and that perhaps the most powerful, must not be forgotten—the women of Prussia have a bitter and well-founded hate of France and Frenchmen. AUSTRIA VIENNA, AUGUST 24. Yesterday's Official Vienna Gazette contained the appointment of Baron Edward de Bach, till now governor of Upper Austria, and brother of his Ex cellency the Minister of the Interior, to the post • of Austrian civil commissioner for the Danubian principalities. Baron E. de Bach has made his diplomatic visits here to-day ;he proceeds to the head-quarters of Baron Hess forthwith; and by the sth of September, the day on which the Austrian troops are to enter Bucharest, he will most probably have reached the capital of Wallachia. In the absence of intelligence from the seat of war of a more stirring and exciting nature, we have to con tend with a species of news evidently disseminated for the most malicious purposes by the common enemies, id est, by the minions of Russia and the, revolutionary party respectively. The following telegraphic despatches have been received here : " ORSOVA, August 22. " The birthday of his Majesty the Empero r Francis Joseph was festfrely celebrated on the 1 8 1 at Rustchuk. Omer Pacha, with his whole staff and all the foreign officers, gorgeously attired: attended the solemnisation in the Consulate's chap el ' during which a salute of 21 guns was fired from tp.! fortress. A grand parade of the troops also toox place in honour of the day. At Rustchuk the ell o t lera has broken out among the Turkish troops. Giurgevo and Nicopoli the disarling and incorpo ration of the Bashi-banuks in the new corps orgs' nised by the French has led to several sanguiLl ar t ‘ scenes.

Prince Napoleon, who has been of since the 10th, has returned really on aceouL l y is h sickness—he is suffering from fever. perk Pacha has to-day left on a diplomatic missiont Bucharest. The cholera is decreasing in Cens i ll ri gy nople and Varna ; and -at Gallipoli - it h as enl - disappeared. In the Dardanelles it is incre.: in violence. By the use of so many traders hire transport ships, trade has suffered here and W , ce t there is abundance of money, there is a b r scarcity of goods.
