On this side the frontier stretched out the long and wide array of the Turkish white and green tents, several isr4laTed d grass-covered mountains in the plain which leads on to Kars, and at the base of one of them the partially visible encampinent of the foe. In the distance beyond lay the white towers of Gumri, vaguely Ells. cernibl3 in the moonlight, while behind, and on either side of them rose the snow-capped hills of Geor g ia in sharp and prominent relief against the unclouded sky. Without the remotest attempt at fine writing or pictu resque description, I may soberly say that I have seldom looked upon a finer panorama of moon•lit scenery than was this, the quiet surface of which was so soon to be disturbed and clouded by tho death-dealing thunders of ft battle. Bashi-bazouks had already arrived, and Spread the news that the wh o l e T ur ki s h arm y was destroyed and the Res - sians in full marc h upon t h e d evo t e d t o wn. When I reached the 'place, therefore, I found. the • walls lined — not with soldiers, but women, in the wildest alarm and despair. Without vaschn2ctcs, or face-coverings of . any kind, they thronged the half ruinous embrasures, and, with out-spread arms and dishevelled hair, uttered :their apprehensive lamentations I% every key the female voice can compass. Inside the town matters were equally bad; there, :main, women hurried in wild and wailing disorder through the narrow streets, asking every one who seemed to be coming from the war, " Moscov bonlunour ?" (where are the Russians); and, if the answer were dis couraging, wringing their hands and crying, 'AI-lab !' Men were passing and repassing with most nn-Turkish energy, hastening on sluggish bullocks or buffaloes with their flitting,' while the closely-veiled wife (or wives) and the children followed on a separate araba' belrind. These were 'caking time by the f lock, and setting out for Erzeroum. In the bazaars all shops were closed and business suspended ; the .whole scene, indeed, was such as could only be witnessed under similar circumstances. PUBLICATIONS.

THE NEW PENSION ItEGrITL A.TINNS. ' the new pension regulations passed in 1833 came into op , ',ration this year, and many of the old Soldiers' sent home ha - re been discharged on Bd. per day pension, iastead of I.s. per . day., to which they were entitled under the' previous per sion warrant for similar periods of servicrt. A non eon imissioned officer is now discharged eathe sa Elio pension private, unless he shall have .been more aian eight yo:' ,rs a corporal, or two years a corporal and tbcree years :4 ser rant. By the previous pension warrant, throe years a sergeant entitled him to a sergeant's pension of ls. 101. per clay. By the pension warrant of 1833, ha ,must .now senro eight years as a corporal'aud one year as a sergeant, to E a title him to a pension of ls. 10(1. per day. A non con In tissioneci officer is nA allowed to reckon his good con duc t badge towards his pension. Surely there -must have bee o some overnight in framing the warrant of 1833, as it con id not be seriously intended by the War-office that the pri , rate, whose good conduct and other qualifications re con 'mended him for promotion, should be a loser by the stei), as he would be if discharged as a non-commissioned offit:er. It is not too late to rectify this, it is supposed, une rpected operation of the warrant, as an Order in Coun cil 'would have the effect of placing the non-commissioned offitlers in a proper position wiih regard to their deserved pensions.

By sANIUEL LA'MERT, 37, BEDFORD-SQUARE, LONDO N, Doctor of Medicine, Matriculated Member of the University of Edin bunt, Honorary blember of the London Hospital Medical Society, Licentiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, Bco., The essential object of this treatise is to point out the fearful con sequences resulting from certain habits, irregularities, and excesses, which have produced more misery in Youth, degradation In Man hood, and premature decay at all str.ges•ot Life, than, perhisPs, any other class of disease known to modern pathologists. Its perusal is particularly recommended to persons entertaining secret doubts of their physical condition, and who are COIIiCIOUS of having hazarded the health, happiness, and privileges to which every human being is entitled. It is absolutely necessary thatall men should know, that there are principles of personal management which cannot be violated without incurring grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret succeed the heyday of inconsiderate self-irelulgence, how these penalties may be mitigated, bow the sting of their bitterness may be removed and how the evil and its consequences may be avoided, and above that there is scarcely any degree of physical infirmity or functions , d erange ment to which the tim el y aid of science cannot apply a cure. The Author has for a series of years been engaged in an extensive practice in the treatment of these delicate complaints, which have unfortunately been too generally confided to the care of ignorant empirlcs, who inflict great injury on those who are induced to place faith in their pretensions.

The prisoner Schantoff, who was remanded from Wed nesday last on a charge of having brought over ton this coun try from Altona, for purp oses of prostituti a young girl between 17 and 18 years of age, wag a brought up at the Hull Police-court yesterday (Monday) before the mayor (Mr. H. Cooper) and Mr. Robert Blyth. Auguste Marie Heinroth, the prosecutrix, repeated the evidence which she gave on the former examination, a summary of which has already appeared in The Sun. The mate of the Hull steam-ship Prince sa she lived as at he had known the pr osecutrix at Altona, where waitress at an hotel. She there bore the character of a modest girl. Similar testimony was borne by the mate of the steam ship Britannia, to whom the prosecutrix had complained of the prisoner's conduct towards her on her arrival at Hull, Mr. C. E. Ayre, att orne y for the defence, admitted that the case was very clearly made or out, and he any there- it fore declined making any defence, calling w nesses, although he had many outside the court. The prisoner was therefore committed for trial, bail being refused. In Hull there are 272 houses of ill-fame, and about 700 common prostitutes. Many of these unfortunate beings are regularly brought over from Germany, but the police have not until just now been able to obtain such evidence in the cases as would warrant a convic tion. This case, however, will undergo a thorough in vestigation, and to that end the girl will be placed, by her own consent, in the Hull Penitentiary. At the con clusion of the proceeding,s, offers were made by gentle men to take the girl under their charge. CHRIST CHURCH, lAMBB,. AND SOUTHWARIC BEGAT THTA This third annual regatta for a coat and d ba a pair dge, two :reedoms of the Watertnen's Company, an of' silver oars, presented by Mr. E. Groves, took place yes terday, and collected a vast assemblage of spectators. The competitors were apprentices who had served five years and upwards of their time upon the r London and Putney-bridges, and the above prizes were re di s t r ibuted according to the pro wess developed by young rowers, who certainly exerted themselves proper most manfully. All had done thei r best to get into co ndition, and F. Weedon was t he favourite. It may he remembered that this youth rowed a dead heat with T. Pocock at the Thames Regatta, and ex hibited style and courage of the most unequivo cal description, rowing until he absolutely fainted in his boat. The race was in three heats, with eight competitors. The final heat was decided as follows : F. Weedon, Crimson Hill, Green Barron, Pink Joyce, Dark Blue The distance was from Vauxhall-bridge down to Hun. gerford Suspension-bridge, up to Vauxhall-bridge and down to Mr. A. Wentzell's, the Ship, Lambeth, to finish. After two capital starts, which, for some inex plicable reasons, were called " false ones," the men scrambled away very irregularly, pink being closely fol lowed by green and crimson. The latter soon over hauled the second-named, and at Mallett's Roads went in front. He retained it after this, , although preseed close for some distance, and upon the upper turn was three or four lengths ahead, ultimately winning with tolerable ease. all, ... 1 FATAL ACCIDENT.—On Saturday another person was accidentally drowned on Bridport beach, making two during the week. The following inscription was found on the back of the watch belonging to the deceased "Presented by Mr. Levy to John Burbillge, as a mark of respect for his courageous conduct in rescuing Mrs. Levy and children from the fire which took place at the 'Red Lion, City-road, 11th March, 1852."

Before, however, they had Cowes got away, the Rhadsmr...nthus was seen coming up past , so that their services were not required. She came into harbour yesterday afternoon ; and it appears that, at 2, o'clOck in the morning, she got too close to the N.B. buoy at the Shingles, and, backing her engines to avoid running over it, she went too far astern, by which she touched the bank. She remained on two or three hours, till the tide rose, when she floated off without (as far as can be ascertained) damage. She will take stores round to the Eastward, an the the crew of a Russian merchant ship, captured b y Avon, and taken into Plymouth. There are 11 persons in number, APPOINTMENT.

TRIAL OF THE ROYALSHEELB AERT'S,RNESS EN SEPTGINES. . 11. At six a.m. yesterday the fires were lighted up on board the Royal Albert, to prove the boilers and jeints. All being very satis factor y , the fires were kept back, by order of Mr. Rumble, the chief engineer, until the arrival of Mr. Hartrie, the representative of Messrs. John Penn and Son. At ten a.m. the engines were started, and when fully up to their speed, made 51 revolutions per minute, the load on the safety-valve being 201bs. on the square inch. The engines were worked four hours and a half, giving the greatest satisfaction to all parties present, as well as those more intimately concerned. It is very gratifying to know that there was not the least symptom g o at hot bearings, and everything worked with the greatest ease and satis faction. The boilers gave an abundant supply of steam. There was an excellent draft in the fire-places. The en- gine-room and stoke-hole were moderately and unusually cool—the engine - ro om not exceeding 80 deg., a stoke-hole not. more than 100 deg. From the day's trial at moorings of this snip we may look forward to a high speed being attained beyond all doubt, as the engines made 51 revolutions on an average, and screw vessels generally make about three-fourths of their revolutions at moorings ; consequently there is but little doubt these engines will make 60 revolutions on her trial, and with the present pitch of screw, snaking a very liberal allowance for slip, this stupendous mass of wood and metals will be propelled through the water (with a nominal power of 500-horse) at the rate of 10 knots per hour. After sundry diagrams had been taken, and the expansion gear tried, to ascertain how the future speed of the ship could be diminished by the greatest economy of full, the trial of the engines of the mag nificent ship ended. She will no doubt echo the names of John Penn and Son over the hills of far-famed Sebastopol. Mr. Robert Hughes, assistant to the chief engineer from the Surveyor of the Navy department at Somerset-house, was hero yesterday on duty relating to the Algiers, steam line-of-battle ship. The crow of the Algiers were engaged during yesterday coaling from the Columbine floating coal depot, which vessel was towed alongside her. She is :the receiving her lower-dock armament. An order has been issued hero regulating the time of persons visiting the Royal Albert and dockyard, in order to meet the arrivals of passengers by the steam-packets from London via the Thames and Medway. They are in future to assemble at the yard-gate, at 9.30 a.m., and at 2 p.m., when they will be escorted through the yard (with permission to visit the Royal Albert) by the police. It is gratifying to state that every facility is given to visitors by the arrangements made by the C a ptain-Superintendent. The number of visitors is immense daily, most of whom only ask to visit the Roy al Albert, as the great lion of the day at this yard. "Instead of an hour after sunset, it was midnight be fore the troops began their march from the camp, the first consequences of which late start being constant stumbles of the artillery and cavalry into the frequent ruts and holes which honeycomb the first portion of the line of march ; horses fell, men shouted, and far a con siderable time all was confusion and disorder. Torches were at length procured, and by their dim and flickering guidance more than 35,000 cavalry, infantry, and artil lery, felt their way, confusedly and with difficulty, on towards the foe. Alternately marching and halting, they crept on over the plain, till the grey streaks of dawn, struggling ever the mountains of Georgia, revealed a status quo as unlike as possible to the marching order of an army, and with it the still more unpleasant fact that tho Reta , ians were already awaiting us some few hundred yards a-head. After half-an-hour's delay in bringing up' and arranging the scattered columns, the army was ngam got into motion, and the first division,. under the command 'of Kheritu Pasha, advanced to take up position in order of battle. I should have men tioned that the avant-garde, consisting of a detached corps of five battalions of infantry, 7 two squadrons of if regular cavalry, and one mountain battery, had been despatched earlier in the night to take possession of the heights which command the Russian camp, and from which, on a previous occasion, the enemy's skirmishers had done considerable damage. There they were notv ' posted, in threatening and effective contiguity to the Russian right wing. The enemy had taken up an ad vantstr,eous position on a sloping eminence to the right of their camp, and numbered in all 16 battalions, with four of a reserve further back towards the tents. " A Turkish battery of the left wing opened the ball, and after a few rounds of shot from it, which' were speedily answered by the Russians, to try the range of the guns, the cannonade soon became general. For nearly half an hour the Russian firing was execrable ; nearly every shell and shot passed high over the ene my and fell far in the roar. Afterwards it improved, and, as I can persoitlly vouch, generally hit with a pre cision which was not to be surpassed. Fine, however, as it was, the Turkish from the very first shot was better ; and in little more than an hour drove the Mus covites from the advantageous position which they oc cupied. Thus pressed, the right wing of the latter gra dually fell back towards the base of the mountain, where a masked battery suddenly opened in their support; but a brief concentration of the Turkish fire upon this point soon silencel it, and the enemy, unable to resist the des dating shower of shot and shell poured on them by the Turkish artillerists, began to give way. I may as well remark here that neither as yet, nor up to the end of the action, did the party who held the summit of the hill tire a shot ; early in the engagement the Turkish officer who commanded became non est, and Major Tevia (an American serving in the Ottoman army), next in command, urged them in vain to make a movement upon the enemy's rear, as was intended. Had this party acted with energy at the outset of the battle, the result might have been very different; as it was, they were merely safe spectators of the storm which raged in front and on either side below them. " Up to this point success was steadily on the side of the Turks. The right wing of the enemy was driven back, and the fierce tide rolled past the front of the moun tains to where the minor conflict of musketry and lance was being waged between their left and the right of the Turks, close upon the Georgian border. Here the ba lance turned, Resul Pasha (mentioned in a previous letter from Erzeroum in terms of confidence, which his present conduct has belied) being the first to set the example of flight. While opposed only by Russian in fantry or cavalry, he and his Arabs stood firm enough, but on the first shot of cannon they turned and fled with an energy truly . ' worthy of a better cause' than cowardice. Unpersued by a single Russian, they ran till far out of reach of shot or shell, and, except by the contagion of their example, had no further influence upon the fortune of the day. The `force of example,' however, soon showed itself, and the regular cavalry, as on nearly every previous occasion, proved themselves no braver than the Bashi-bazonits. Noticing the first symptoms of their wavering, Kourschid Pasha (chief of the staff) ordered Vely Pasha, who commanded the right wing of the second division, to advance to the support of the first ; but, personal jes:onsy being operative even then, he refused to (lo so without a direct order from the Commander-in-Chief. Now, this latter person, being `nowhere," was not to bo found till after a delay of nearly an hour, when he gallopped into sight, bareheaded (having lost his fez in the hurry of flight), in most co mical alarm at having unwittingly strayed within range of a Russian gun in another part of the field. I hap pened to be passing the spot at the time that a shell passed over the staff and burst some 12 or 15 yards off, and I can, in all soberness, testify to the ludicrous effect upon the Generalissimo's nerves. With sudden terror blanching every feature, from his forehead to his chin, he roared `AI-lah l' and dug the spurs into his horse's side till the animal jumped from the ground as if at tacked by a whole battery of electric eels, nor halted till safely beyond the reach of Russian metal. When he had sufficiently recovered from the effects of this fright, the necessary order was given to the second division, which now advanced, but too late to regain the lost ground ; the first was already in full retreat, pursued by two regiments of Russian dragoons, and no efforts of the Mushir could stop them. Kourschid Pasha succeeded in arresting the flight of four battalions of infantry, one regiment of cavalry, and a battery of artillery, and with these returned to the charge. The cavalry, however, again fled, but with the infantry and artillery he drove the enemy from the heights, which they had already taken from Vely Pasha, and held them to the last. But no efforts of individual skill or bravery could now prevent the catastrophe of a defeat. Having disposed of the first division, the Rus sians threw their whole force on the second, which, though its infantry and artillery fought well, was barely able to maisstain its ground and cover the retreat. Though numerically equal to the entire strength of the enemy, in it, as in the other division, the cavalry proved cowards almost to a man, and left the other arms to bear the brunt of all. "Thus, after a struggle of four or five hours' dura tion, was the battle of Kurakderd (the name of the vil lage nearest the scene of action) fought and lost. 'With a vivid impression of the whole engagement, from the first cannonshot to the last straggling discharges of musketry, I can use no language too strong to express my reprobation of the conduct of nearly four-fifths of the Turkish officers present. In accounting for the defeat of an army numbering nearly 40,000 men of all arms by a hostile force of less than one half that number, it is not sufficient to say that the management of the whole hattic on the side of the Turks was a series of blunders from first to last ; strategical errors might have pro tracted the engagement, and have added to the cost of a victory—but downright cowardice alone—which no generalship could have redeemed—gave the day to the Russians, One arm, and one only, behaved well—the artillery—which, with its commander, Tahir Pasha, acted worthily of any army in Europe. Of the whole 40 battalions of infantry two regiments—the sth Anato lian and 4th Desardat—alone stood their ground and resisted cavalry. Three successive times did three squadrons of Russian dragoons bear down upon these exceptionally brave regiments with a force before which many better disciplined troops would have yielded without effecting an opening in their ranks ; and it was only after a fourth charge, supported by the fire of a field-piece, that they gave way, when only 250 of the first and 400 of the second escaped death from the Russian sabres. Than the conduct of the rest of the infantry nothing could well be worse, ex cept that of the entire cavalry, which would have dis graced the rawest Bashi-bazouks. If such, however, was the conduct of the men, that, as I have said, of the great majority of the superior officers was still more in famous. An hour after the action began, there was hardly a Bunbashi (major) or Murallai (colonel) to be seen ; almost to a man they had deserted their regi ments, and fled back to the camp to secure their baggage and send it off to Kars. Battalion upon battalion, and squadron upon squadron, were thus left without leaders —a status quo, among others, which mainly contributed to the general confusion and ultimate defeat. In Europe the reward of such conduct is understood and certain enough ; but here it has merely excited some short-lived and fruitless remark. These, however, have been the causes of defeat ; the plan of the battle (by Kourschid Pasha) was admirable, but the cowardice of those with whom lay its execution would have rendered vain the strategy of Wellington himself. " Ou regaining the camp after the battle I found the tents already stripped, and nearly everybody's baggage either starting, or already gone to Kars. With some the instinct of personal safety had been stronger than a regard for their chattels, and they accordingly had al ready fled thither, leaving chibouques, carpets and other , personalities to take care of themselves. The cannonade . had drawn the Kurds in crowds from the neighbouring mountainB, like vultures to carrion, and they were now making rapid appropriation on all hands. Having my own horses, however, I succeeded in bundling together as many of my movables as my servant had been able to protect, and fell into the rapid stream of the retreat, which, with Bashi-bazouks, infantry, cavalry, artillery, baggage-mules, camels, and bullock-carts, packed with the wounded, formed as motley and scattered a host as ever figured on panoramic canvas. From Hadjivelekey to Kars, some eighteen miles, it was one unbroken stream, hurrying in quick disorder from the dreaded pursuit of the victorious Giaours ; soldiers without arms, stragglers with plunder, and horses without riders—on they hastened in noisy and jostling confusion, which could find no parallel but in som e similar scene. But all this was nothing wheNncona. Even , pared with the state of things at Kars itself. n be -1 fore the battle had terminated, swarms o f th e eying a braver fro nt to 12,000. The disgrace of the defeat is too entire to re, ieive any qualification from this. The Mushir has determined to await the enemy under the walls and behind the fieldworks of ICars. Nearly 7,000 men have this mornin g commenced increasing and strengthening the latter, ; ind, as it is not likely that the Russian gene ral, with hi s present small force, will attack so strong a position, pr esent expectations here are that he will either await reinf 3mements, or, as was done in 1828, fall back upon the 2 1 .kzeroum side of the town, and establish a blockade. .As this would effectually cut off Zarif Pasha from suppli,es t, he would then be shut up to the alterna tive of fight ting another battle, or of retreating on Batomn and forming a junction with Selim Pasha, leav ing Kars for the present to other holders. I venture to predict that. this latter course will be the one adopted, if the army co ntinues under its present command. Before pausing in ❑iy letter yesterday, I might have mentioned a character'istio step which was even then begun by the Commande r-in-Chief, and which he has completed to day. Imni to diately after finding himself safe in Kars, he called :a private gathering of all the Turkish Pashas, an a procured their signatures to a petition to the St waskier against General Guyon. This document avers that with him alone rests the blame of the del eat ; as, but for him, the Mushir would not have h izarded an engagement. Now, I happen to know, frog i more authentic sources than one, that not once but t several times; during the two days preceding the battle, he took to himself the credit of the energetic step which was then in prospect, and spoke confidently of his beating the one division of the enemy first, and then falling back and exterminating the other. When his own inc opacity in the field, and the cowardice of his officers, ho , never, have led to a different result, he con veniently si i eks to shift the blame to the shoulders of a general to v Thom his jealousy would not even intrust a command d a ring the action. It is well, however, that another co• crespondent of the Seraskier witnessed the battle, and . acknowledges the excellence of its plan. Count de Altelfray, who was present as first aide-de-camp I to the Mum ciir, will give the Porte his version of the matter too :: and if jealousy and partisanship be not so active in C , 3nstantinople as they are in Kars, it is to be hoped that this effort of falsehood will not ward off from Zarif Pach L. his long since deserved removal from the post he no \ r holds. But, whether it do or not, I would again vents ;re to suggest that the state of affairs at this important y iciint of the seat of war calls for some prac tical attent i.on on the part of our own Government. Russia may be repulsed on the Danube, but so long as the balances . these reverses by triumphs in Asia Minor, to my htnitl 31e understanding the war is not likely to see an early or 'satisfactory termination ; and as the fight is no longer T urkey's, but the Allies, so it strikes me they shoull not P hut their eyes to a state of things here whioh can only co Dann° to bear fruit in solid advantages to the Czar That they have done so thus far can only be explained o a the supposition of ignorance of the actual facts ; but i sow that a commissioned informant will show us things a std men as they are, I, for one, earnestly trust that Downing-street and the Tuileries will no - longer leave. Asia Minor to the mercy of intriguants and imbeciles. One firm demand of the ambassadors would suf&co to make this army do good service to the general cause, by rescuing it from the worse than feebleness rhich now rules it, and placing at its head a ger mat whose character would command its respect, awl whose thorough fitness for the post would ;secure its efficiency and successful action. Such a corn n sander is on the spot ; and the Emperor Nicholas has good reason to rejoice that Turkish jealousy , and Polish intrigue have hitherto kept him in the back ground, as merely chief of the staff. Had Guyon been in command: of this army since the end of spring, not a Russian offi,sial would now have foot-room on Georgian soil. But 2 larif Pasha has held that post, and the con sequence is- —what it is. " I am s tow merely to add that the returns, com pleted yesttirday evening, represent the loss as 1,200 killed, 1,80(1 wounded, and 8,000 missing, of which last 2,000 are plisoners, and the remainder (chiefly redifs) deserters. Among the killed is one pasha (Hassan Pai-ha), who commanded in the left wing of the let division, and of whom (regardless of the de mortuis nil nisi Loam) truth compels the remark that no greater coward fell that day. Mussa Pasha is wounded, as are several of the European and Circassian officers, all of whom (with one or two exceptions, from whom much was not to be expected) distinguished themselves highly. Tahir Pasha., already mentioned, was the only Turkish officer who behaved really well. He has been deservedly decorated ; -as has also Hussein Bey, a Circassian officer of the sth regiment of Anatolia, and five others of minor rank. Of the Europeans three—all of whom be long to the staff—are proposed for a similar distinction, Rufan Bey (Gortcrirninski, who was shot through the neck), Emir Bey (Baron Schwartzenburg, who acted a distinguished part in the Hungarian war), and Nevris Bey (Major Bonfante, an American-Italian). "Such are the incidents of a defeat which has again —for the present, and some time to come—thrown the Kars army back into a state of comparative nullity, and demonstrated, beyond the possibility of dispute, the necessity of its being at once placed under a European commander, or having the co-operative assistance of European troops. That its continued existence as an army, to say nothing of its efficiency against the enemy, depends upon one of these conditions is a fact which it requires no very strong force of military prevision to foresee and predict. Unless one or other of them be given to it, before two months the Russians will be in Erzeroum. ANOTHER ACCOUNT. ERZEROIIM, August 14.—For the first time my mes senger has been attacked on the road, himself beaten, and my letter destroyed. On the morning of the 18th instant I despatched him to Erzeroum from Rare, with a full and detailed account of the above battle, that it might reach this town in time for the special h la osta, Tartar to Trebizond. When little more than f way revenged themselves poar fellow was beset by three Kurds,valuable who venged themselves for the absence anythingofn d nearly more murdering its by destroying the packet a beater. I now only arrive and learn this this in ti me to partially remedy the misfortune by sending a rapid sum mary of the following stirring and important events. By the next post I may supplement it by further details of what occurred. On the morning of the 3d inst. I had nearly finished my usual weekly letter, when an approach of the Rus sians towards the Turkish camp at Iladjivelekey set everybody in motion, and myself amongst the rest. At the risk of being too late to catch the following Monday's Tartar from Erzeroum, I ceased writing till I should be able to apprise you of the result of the seemingly immi nent attack, and thus have some more interesting and stirring news to communic to than the dull course of events hitherto had put it in my power to forward. On came the hostile battalions in formidable and imposing order, their cavalry, infantry, and artillery being clearly distinguishable as they advanced. On reaching about mid-distance between their own and the Turkish lines they halted, in seeming expectation that the Mushir would accept the apparent challenge of battle ; but after remaining foil an hour or two, and seeing no movement on the part of the Turks, returned to their tents, leav ing us in the other camp to add another to our already numerous impeachments. A. few hours later, however, I and the rest of " th e many " learned that this time his Excellency had a justifying cause for his conduct, and that he was forthwith to make an active movement on his own behalf ; what this was transpired before evening - For thehow ever, morning of the aide-de-camp arr i ve d f rom B ayazid, w i t h t h e news of n the defeat of Selim Pasha (not he who lately fared similarly force of near Batoum) an d 8,000 T ur k s, b y a 11,000 Russi ans — a d e f ea t, b y th e way, which re former 1,800 men kill e d an d wounded, which ich c ost the sulted directly from the disobedience o t h e commander to explict orders of Khourschid Pasha Guyon), who had instructed him to remain on the defensive till the occur rence of an expected movement of _th sr e i _ s enemy. his inbis own conceit," however, th e A g 41 " " many MISCELLANEOUS.

CAB LOW.—On Friday Captain Thompson's troop of the 7th Dragoon Guards left for Dublin, and were replaced by a serg► ,ant and seven mon of the 14th Foot, who will occupy the barracks for a few days, and will bo relieved by a party of the local pensioners, who are in future to per form garrison duty. The loss of the army, in a pecuniary point of view, is felt in every garrison town in Ireland. THE BATTLE OF KUBACKDERE. THE ALGIERS Orders were received on Saturday morning by electric telegraph, countermanding the orders for the Algiers being docked, preparations for which were making. Sho is ordered round to Devonport, and lighters are engaged shipping off her lower-deck guns, carriages, &c. She will leave on Wednesday next. THE ROYAL FLOTILLA. The cause of the lateness of the Malacca, Hornot, and Salamander's arrival at Bolougne, when they accom panied Prince A lbert to that place, is explained of to day. The beari n g of the Malacca's machinery gso heated as to compel her to dispense with the use of her engines, and she had to be taken in tow by the su bs Salamander for some hours. q uently, ad also the Hor net's engines go t disarranged, a she hto be taken in tow by the Salamander whilst the repairs were effected. They, in consequence, did not ar rive at Boulogne till twenty-four hours after the yachts, although they left six hours before them. and b ea ti ng s of the bearing s of the machinery, and th " slight" derangements of other parts, would be serious matters on an enemy's coast. The Malacca was taken into dock yesterday in order to have her screw, its aper ture, shaft, bz,c., examined, although she was in dock for a similar purpose only seven or eight days since. --- THE RUSSIAN PRIZES. Yesterday advices were received that another Russian prize, the Anna Maria, had passed Elsinore for England, in charge of Prizemaster Bathurst. The Thomis, also a prize to her Maje st y' s cruisers in the Baltic, has passed Elsinore for the port of London. The High Marshal of the Court of Admiralty gave pub lic notice yesterday on the Royal Exchange that within 20 days from that date the ship Rapid, seized in the port of Hull by her Majesty's officers of Customs, under simu lated papers, and of which Hansen was late the master, would be condemned as a Crown droit, the same being the property of the Queen's enemies. The Russian prizes John and Industrie were sold by public auction at Hull yesterday by the Admiralty broker. They realised very good prices. The Royal Sappers and Miners are employed completing the range of new field works opposite New Brompton, and they will soon be finished. Private Andrew Anderson, of the Royal Sappers and Miners, who was with the late Lieutenant Burke, Royal Engineers, and bravely stood by him to the last, although he could not save him from. the Russians, is now out of all danger from his wounds, and is employed as a confidential orderly to Major George Bent, Royal Engineers, at Varna. It is expected the Lieutenant-General of the Ordnance will bestow some substantial mark of special favour upon him when he returns home, should nothing be done before that time. Th.© following interesting letters have been re ceived from the seat of war in Asia " IK.ARs, Aug. 7.—1 have at length to report a great battle and a shameful defeat. " My last letter, containing only an account of some recent skirmishes and fresh illustrations of Zarif Pasha's utter unfitneis for the post which he here fills as Corn ' rnancler-in-Chief of the army, was more than half written when an advance of the Russians toward& our camp set everybody in motion, and myself among the rest. This was on Friday last. On came the hostile battalions in formidable and imposing orders across the plain which separates the two camps, their artillery, infantry, and cavalry being clearly distinguishable as they rapidly advanced. On reaching the mid distance between their own an d the Turkish outposts. they halted, in seeming expectation that their apparent offer of battle would be accepted by the 111ushir.,_ but, this being declined, after an hour or two's delay they slowly returned to their own tents, and we in.the Turkish camp added another to our already numerous • imprecations loud and deep' at this seemingly fresh instance of Zarif Pasha's cowardice. The interruption, short as it had been, put it out of my power to finish my half-written despatch and forward it in time for Monday morning's post from Erzeroum ; and I, accordingly, breathed a supplemental `blessing' on the author of our disappointment, At that time, how ever, T. know not the special cause of the Turkish gene ral's refusal to accept the proffered challenge ; but a few hours later I and the rest of `the many' learnt that this time It had a justifying reason, and was to be followed i forthwith by action on his own part. " For the sake of completeness in my narrative of what followed, it is necessary to mention that oa the 3d inst. an aide-de-camp arrived from Bayazid with the double intel ligence of the defeat of 8,000 Turks under Selim Pasha (do not confound hint' with the commander of the same name on the coast of Circassia), by a superior force of 11,000 Rus sians, and of the advance of a body of the enemy 8,000 strong upon Erzeroum. With reference to the former piece of news, I may mention that this defeat, which cost the Turks, 1,800 men in killed, wounded, and prisoners, re sulted directly from the disobedience Of the commander to certain explicit orders sent from this by Khourschid Pasha (Guyon). The latter general had directed Selim Pasha to stand entirely on the defensive till the occur rence of a specified and expected movement of the enemy; but " wise in his own conceit," the Turk—like many others of his fellows—set at nought Guyon's instructions, attacked the Russians, and suffered the predicted conse quence of a defeat. But this news was of less moment than the reported advance upon Erzeroum, which was soon confirmed by the arrival of spies and scouts, who affirmed that the hostile division had already reached Toprakah3, and what was of greatest importance of all— was a portion of Bebutoff's army (our neighbours at Hadjivelekey), which was intended to attack us in the rear, while Bebutoff himself fell upon us in front with the remainder of his force. Here was startling news for Zarif Pasha and his fellow-imbeciles. Their flurry and alarm were amusing to witness. • What was to be done ? The Mushir himself, unable to conceive a step in any direction, called together his Turkish generals and besought counsel ; but their suggestive faculties were little clearer or more lively than Isis own. Pasha This proposed one thing, which Pasha That declared to be suicide and advised something else, which in its turn was overruled by Pasha The other, who denounced both plans as certain to end in defeat, and yet was unable to suggest a third. Orthodox advisers, therefore, failing to get him out of his difficulty, the Mushir at last was driven to the unwelcome necessity of falling back upon his dernier ressort—Guyon. This general had already seen at a glance the only course suggested by the cir cumstances, and consequently counselled an immediate attack upon the now weakened force of Bebutoff ; and then, after its defeat, a similar course in reference to the column which was behind towards Erzeroum. Taken thus in turn, there could be no reasonable doubt as to the destruction of both. This was on the evening of the 3d. Guyon's plan was to make a night march that same night, and attack the Russians at dawn of the 4th. The nervous Commander-in -Chief, with a faint heart and sinking pulse, agreed to the proposal, but declared that its execution must be put off till the 6th, as the 4th and sth were unlucky days in the Turkish calendar, being in the sign of the Ram or Crab, or some equally fatal and not-to-be-thought -of conjunction. It was in vain that General Guyon endeavoured to override this superstitious objection. Zarif Pasha had made a wonderful concession in consenting to a fight at all ; but the Ram and Crab were consideratio ns not to be yielded to any amount of argument or persuasion Khourschid Pasha could call to his aid, and so the attack upon the Russians was finally fixed for the dawn of Sunday, the 6th, On Friday, as already mentioned, the enemy ap peared i n the plain, but for the reasons now specified were allowed to exhibit themselves to no purpose. "Accordingly, on the evening of the sth it became known in the camp that the Mushir had at length " screwed up his courage to the sticking place," and that sunrise on the following morning would witness a trial of strength between the two armies. He hi mse lf rode through the camp personally to communicate his intention and encourage the men, who heard the news gladly. Ammunition was distributed, on the backs of mules, from the magazine to the various regiments; arms - were individually " looked to," and little groups were i assembled at all points in eager and seemingly confident discussion of the probable result of the coming fight. • At the evening parade, the cries of "Long live the Sultan" were given with such a strength of lung as the hills around Hadjivelekey had never echoed before, and OFFICERS FROM THE EAST. the men retired to their tents to eat their—to many following officers come home from the East on me- their last—pilaff in spirits of uproarious satisfaction n Leet, 815th Regiment; Assistant-Surgeon was, that the army should march an hour or so after diThcalaccrtificate :—Lientenant Stevenson, 20th Regiment ; with the morrow's prospect.

Between the number of men allowed in the early part of the year to volunteer from the depots of the provisional battalion at Chatham for service with other regiments in Turkey, and the different drafts sent to India, the provi sional battalion has been left a mere skeleton compared with the strength it usually mustered, especially as no re cruits have joined the battalion lately, the parties engaged on that duty being employed in raising men for the regi ments now at the seat of war in the east. ~.. , r - . . - „ of his felle*e, ret at nought - the former general's orders, attacked the Russians, and suffered : the pre dicted defeat ras a consequence..

During the afternoon ammunition had been distributed, on the backs of mules, to the various regiments ; arms were individually 'looked to,' and all seemed eager for the coining novelty of a fight. " An hour after sunset - had been the time fixed o n by Guyon for the march of the troops, so Its to secure their having the light of the moon en route, a n d reach the enemy in time for an attaelt ,at dawn. It came, but brought not the necessary order from the Mu , hir ; and it was only after the moon had risen, shone, and gone down that the march began. This was blunder No. 1, and its consequen ces were soon felt. Soon after getting clear of the camp confusion be gan on all sidc3- men, horses, and waggons tumbling pell-mell in the darkness into the ruts and holes which honeycomb the first portion of the line of march. After another hour lost in this way lanterns were procured, and the troops proceeded, literally groping their way through the darkness thus made 'visible.' In this manner they crept along, cavalry running foul of in fantry, and artillery of both—all, in fact, in as delight fully unmilitary disorder as the (supposedly) sleeping and unexpecting Bebutoff could have wished. The first grey streaks of dawn struggling over the hill tops of Georgia revealed these consequences of the Musbir's procrastination. and with them the startling proximity of the whole Russian army some few hundred yards ahead, close by the geserted village of Perget. Fortu nately this unexpected neighbourehip was discovered in time to allow of the scattered columns being gathered together, and arranged in something like order, before there was sufficient light for the enemy to take advan tage of she Turkish status quo. When this was accom plished, the march was resumed for a short dis tance, when a general halt was made, and the first division (consisting of twenty battalions of infantry, one of rilec., three regiments of cavalry, and six bat teries of artillery—the whole commanded by Kerim Pacha) advanced and deployed in order of battle. I should mention, that on the previous evening the avant garde composed of a detached corps from the Ist divi sion, and formed of four battalions of foot, one battalion of riflemen, and one mountain battery, bad been sent on to occupy this Caradagh (black mountain) which over looks the 1-tussian camp, for the purpose of operating against their rear during the battle. This force re mained on the heights throughout the entire action, without firing a single shot—though within musket range of the Russians below—or even attempting to silence a masked battery which opened a few yards before them on the right of the Turkish left wing. Had they efficiently executed their assigned duty the Russian rear must have suffered severely, and the fortune of the day have been materially influenced : as it was, they merely remained safe spectators of the storm which raged on either side and in front of them below. " A. gun on the left of the Turkish right wing ' opened the ball,' and after the firing of a few shots—which were promptly returned by the Russians—the cannonade soon became general. For nearly an hour the Rust* . firing was execrable, nearl}levery shot and shell passing high over the enemy, and bursting far in the rear ; but • atter that it improved, and, as I can personally testify, 'told' with a precision which could not well be sure passed. Not so with the Turkish artillery : from the very first it had fired most admirably—with a splendid accuracy of aim, indeed, which would have done honour to any army in Europe, and which well accounted for the ultimately great losses of the enemy. The com pact battalions of the Muscovites offered an excellent target ; and it required but little " length" of sight to perceive how terribly every discharge from the Turk. ish guns mowed them down. For the first half of the engagement success thus went strongly with the Mos lems ; but after that the balance of victory turned— owing to causes now to be mentioned—and their defeat went steadily and rapidly on to its consummation. Early in the action Resul Pacha, of Bagdad (mentioned in a former letter from Erzeroum in terms of confidence which his subsequent conduct has not justified), fled at the head of 3,000 Bashi-bazouks, before a fire of. Rus sian musketry and one field-piece, on the right wing. I was close by them at the time, and can bear witness that no mob ever ' absquatulated' more rapidly before the watery discharge of a fire-eneine than he and his Arabs did before—no pursuers. The force of this example soon began to work upon the regular infantry engaged in th e same part of the fi e ld, an d w h en some additional Russian guns were brought up, whole battalions actually fell flat upon their faces at each discharge —exactly as at their evening prayers par pelotons. At this juncture Ichour schid Pacha (who had no command during ;the action thanks to the jealousy of the Mushir), seeing the aspect of affairs, ordered Vely Pacha,' who commanded the , :econd division behind, to advance to the support of the first ; but this individual—allowing personal enmity to overrule public duty--refused to move without a direct order from the Mushir. Now the Muehir being "no where," could not be found till after an interval of nearly an hour, when he galloped into sight bare-headed, and in most comical perturbation at having unwittingly come within range of a Russian gun in another part of the field. I happened to be passing at the time, when a shell flew over his staff, and burst some 12 or 15 yards off, without injuring any one. Its effects upon his Ex. cellency's nerves were most amusing to a leas sensitive observer • sheeting Al-pale! he dug the spur s i n t o hi s horse's side till the animal- bounded from the ground as • if struck by a whole fry of.electric eels, nor stopped till he was far beyond the• reach of Russian metal. When he had sufficiently recovered the effects of this fright, the necessary order was given to Vely Pacha, but it was now too late to recover the lost ground ; the first division, borne down by the whole force of the enemy, was in full retreat, and no efforts of the Mushir could stop them. Khourscbid Pacha succeeded in arresting two battalions of infantry and a battery of guns, .prevent with these returned to the char ge , rega i ne d the heights which the Russian dragoon s h a d- Al rea d y taken from Berim Pacha, and held the m till th e last.
