MOSES and Son are uniting all the forces of Commerce, skill, Experience, and Capital. This Paletot is the most ingeniously contrived garment which has been invented, and is the result of mathematical observa tion and great experience in the art of designing and Cutting Dress. It has been the object of E. Moses and Son to produce a paragon in this description of Attire, which they have placed within the reach of all classes, its price being 25e. This article may be worn as Coat or Overcoat, audit is the most gentlemanly and the most comfort able garment ever presented. E. MOSES and SON are Merchant Tailors and Clothiers on the largest scale and on the most practical print Ves.

Le following despatches have been received at the Admiralty : Her Majesty's steam-ship Phoenix, at Four Island Point, July 9, 1854. Sir,—Three days back I despatched by the Diligence to England a letter, containii,g an account of our pro ceedings up to that date (a duplicate of which I now en close). The opportunity that will shortly offer of send ing by a Danish vessel a further statement enables me to give their lordships some information with reference to the coal deposits on the island of DUcO, which I think will be found interesting as regards the utility, but doubly so as geological data. With the Talbot in tow, we parted company from the Diligence at 6 p.m. of the sth inst., and last sighted her standing, with a fresh wind from the eastward, down the coast. We reached the harbour of Jacob's Haven at 5.30 a.m. of the following day, but found it so thickly beset with heavy ice from the neighbouring glacier that it was with much difficulty we succeeded in getting suf ficiently near to the hospital to land the Esquimaux I alluded to in my letter of the sth inst., and whose pre carious condition rendered it advisable he should be con veyed there. Ultimately the doctor came off in a whale boat, and thus was enabled to communicate with our surgeon ; the necessity of our landing was, therefore, avoided, and so we proceeded immediately to Skandsen on the island of Disco, as shown i i Rink's chart, a trac ing of which I enclose. The principal officer of the Danish Government in North Greenland, Mr. Obric, has kindly accompanied me on this visit to these coal dis tricts, and through him I have been enabled to commu nicate freely with the natives along the coast, and thus obtain much useful information. Skandseii was reached at 3 p.m. on the 6th, and landing we soon found the spot that had been previously worked by the Danes. A speci men of-the coal found here (and which_ is in a strata cropping out of the bank on the beach, covered only by light clayey sand), is forwarded through the courtesy of Mr. Obric, in a box, addressed to the care of English consul at Copenhagen —this is marked No. 1, Skandsen —as well as some of those superincumbent soil. The vein varied from 1 foot to 4 feet six inches in depth, but AS a far superior specimen of coal for steaming purposes has been since met with, I shall not trouble their lord ships with further particulars of this spot, excepting that good holding ground in from eight to ten fathoms was found off this coal strata, though exposed to the south erly winds, at which time a heavy sea sets right upon the shore. A wooden-house was erected some years ago, but it is now uninhabited. It would form, how ever, good shelter for a party collecting coal, which could be shipped in fine weather, or during northerly winds, when the sea is perfectly smooth. Leaving Skandsen at 5.30 p.m., we then proceeded towards Ritenbenk, for the purpose of communicating with a Danisk barque that arrived the previous day, and which afforded us European intelligence twelve days later than our own. The captain of the vessel, when acquainted by Mr. Obric with the object of the expedition, gave me 781 b. of potatoes, which I have added to our stock of vege tables for the Arctic squadron. We passed inside the small islands, as seen in the track chart enclosed, and observed an extensive loom and Rilliwake rookery, where thousands of birds and eggs might readily be obtained. I learn that a still larger rookery is situated at Niakomak Nxs, an island a little to the northward. I paid a visit to the governor of Ritenbenk, whom I had previously known as governor at Lievely. The vessels were kept under way in .the meantime, and by eight a.m. of the 7th we were well clear of the small islands that lie near the settlement. A strong breeze from the northward prevented our reaching Atanekerdluk before five p.m. Here we found excellent sheltered harbours, the northmost one for ves sels during southerly winds, and the other affording capital shelter with north winds, and with very good stiff clay holding ground ; we came into 23 fathoms, and rode out the gale, which was doubtless putting the Dili gence well through Davis' Straits. Shortly after anchoring I landed with a party of officers from both vessels, for the purpose of visiting a petrified forest, reported by the Esquimaux, but which had never been previously visited by any European excepting Mr. Rink. Here, at a measured elevation of 1084 feet above the level of the sea, we found extensive remains of petrified trees, though nearly entirely embedded in sandstone clay. The specimens collected were in all stages of petri faction; some charred into coal. That this has been a forest of considerable extent, and that the species of tree was, doubtless, what now only exists in a far more temperate climate, is beautifully illustrated by the widely-scattered specimens found of petrified leaves, iden tifying the lime, birch, fir, and some sorts of ferns. To the geologist this cannot fail to be a source of the great est interest, and must be viewed by all as a matter for great speculation. A small piece of amber was found, and I succeeded, though with much difficulty, in reaching a spot at the edge of the cliff, where a portion of the semi•petrified tree still stood at an angle of 45 deg., and sloping towards the north—the hill upon which the forest is situated facing the south. This tree was about the size of a man's body in girth, and , four feet of it stood exposed. A small portion is sent, marked A. Some pieces of coal found in the neighbourhood are also forwarded. I defer sending a more detailed account of the geological formation of the land at this spot, as being more suitable for a paper to the geological societies than for an official letter to my Lords Commissioners. I will, therefore, only add that the commencement of what is known as greenstone, sandstone, clay slate, and trap formation was clearly de- fined at a spot a short distance from our anchorage, and where it was met by the gneiss and granite of other periods. At seven o'clock on the following morning our anchor was tripped, and we steamed across the Waigattet to wards Ritenbenk Rullud. On landing I soon found an extensive strata, extending, as far as my own observa tion went, for more than a mile along the coast. This vein is from three to six feet in depth, and of a species known in England as "anthracite." Considering there could be no better proof of its available position and means of obtaining it, I ordered all the quarter boats of the two vessels on shore for the purpose of taking a load, and, though it had to be broken out from the bank and put into the boats, which had then to pull off to the ship, which was lying to under steam at a distance from the shore varying from three-quarters to a mile, we nevertheless got off upwards of 12 tons in four hours, and this working only the boats' crews at the strata in different spots, and themselves loading and carrying off a qu o a u l g it s y id ; e' it is s p oken of by some of our each makin g b ak ee in n g us t e h d re s e in o c r e, f s ou nd r accustomed 4 ,0 the coal tr ade, as being t i sh men,eir found o w w h no of are good boats trips in that period. The coal ea worth 35s a ton. A copy of the engineer's report is in closed herewith. There seems no limit to the quantity that might be obtained, and at high-water it may positively be thrown into the boat (a distance of four feet) from the bed in which it is deposited. The shore ground gradually slopes from 3 fathoms to 20 (about a mile distant), and a ship can lie in fine weather within 200 y ards of the beach, A sample of this coal is forwarded, as well as a portion of the clay upon which it is embedded. T he superincum bent stratum is composed of a sort of bl ack land (similar to that we have in Scotland), immediately up on the coal stratum, and a clayey sand above that ; thi s is perfectly loose, and can be cleared away with the greatest facility, leaving a table of coal running level with the shore, and perhaps five feet above high-water mark. Large blocks were broken out, more than three men could lift. The coal stratum inclines to the north-east, at a very small angle. It is not to be supposed we have hit at first upon the best kind to be found for steaming purposes, but it has been proved to be very useful mixed with our quick burning patent fuel ; and, when a jet of steam is applied, as used now for many of the Mediterranean steamers, which burn anthracite coal (and which this most resembles), a great and more rapid combustion is obtained. The two harbours on the northern shore of the Wai gattet are off Alanekerdluk, and within 15 miles,.and would be always available for a ship coaling at this spot, as she could find shelter from either a northerly or southerly gale, the only winds that blow with any fury in this strait. On Sunday, the 9th, at 10 a.m., we anchored at Four Island Point, to await the clearing of the fog and the cessation of a strong south wind, which prevented our approaching the south-east coast of Hareten, o r H am Island, a spot said to have much coal. The harbour at Noursoak, or Four Island Point, is small and dangerous for large vessels to enter. We found, however, secure anchorage in a bight about a mile to the southward of the settlement, with 15 to 20 fathoms of water, sand, and mud. Since the &nye was written we wade an attempt oA the morning of the 10th to get over to Hare Island, but a heavy southerly gale prevented our reaching the point at which the coal is said to exist. We bore up for our previous anchorage at Four Island Point at noon, and the wind still continuing, I shall probably proceed to the northwward without further delay, though when we sailed from Lievely we - were seven days in advance of last year's date, and with 36 tons more coal on board. Since the engineer's report was drawn up, they have made further experiments with the Ritenbenk coal, and have found it in specific gravity equal to Welsh ; for four hours they kept one fire continually charged with it, and finding its combustion was good for two hours after employing the Disco coal unmixed for the whole six fires, and report that it answered well, keeping steam, and that the combustion was perfect, with com paratively no smoke, and without any cinders, a residue of white ash and clinker only remaining. As far as the last experiments have gone this coal is as economical as the Welsh. July 12.—Bad weather has detained the expedition at this anchorage since our return from the attempt to reach Hare Island. Ido not consider that any time has been lost,• since we learn that a - fortnight ago all was solid ice, as far as the eye could reach in all direc tions from this spot. 9 a.m.—We are now getting under way in a calm, to proceed north, and expect to fall in with the ice in 24 hours. I intend, if possible, to communicate at Prooen and Upernavik for the purpose of obtaining dogs and an. Esquimaux driver.—l am, sir, your most obedient humble servant, E. A. INGLZFIELD, Captain. Her Majesty's steam-vessel Phoenix, off Hare Island, Baffin Bay, July 10. Sir,—ln accordance with your directions relative to our report as to the qualities of the, coal supplied by you to her Majesty's ship Phoenix, we respectfully beg to state that, so far as we have bad an opportunity of testing its capabilities for marine steam purposes, we are of opinion it will, in well-proportioned boilers, when mixed equally with Welsh coal or patent fuel, meet all the demands of the marine steam-engine. Further, from the slight trials we have made of it burning alone, we believe it to be in every respect a most useful fuel, and capable of generating sufficient steam for at least a mild degree of expansion ; the pro portion of ash and clinker is greater than in Scotch coals generally, but produces less smoke.—We have, &c., C. RENWICK, Chief Engineer. P. G. LAMBERT, Assistant-Engineer, let class. Captain Inglefield, R.N., her Majesty's ship Phoenix. LIFE IN AUSTRALIA. The following extracts from the correspondence of a man who gave up a good situation of 3001. a-year to go to the diggings give a lively picture of the ups and downs of life in Australia : MELBOURNE, April 13.—1 am once more in this city ; driven to it by continued ill-fortune at the diggings. For the last six months I have been floundering about on the confines of desperation, working like a horse, and existing God knows how !—and how I am to exist for the future is still A great puzzle. I have been knocking about the country everywhere, but the fiend ill-fortune has taken me under herspecial protection, and dogged my heels so closely that I have been unable, even since I came here, to obtain any, the meanest, employment. I am now on the eve of Good Friday, obliged to retire into the bush, and there to exist, as best I can, until the holydays are over, my means being quite exhausted, and I am unable to "raise the wind" anyhow, even for a few days. But I shall get over it, as I have got over other as bad fixes during the above period, and will write to you again shortly, when I feel a little more comfortable. I have not the heart to'write to —, but if any inquiries are made you can simply state that I am quite well, and have come here on account of my ill success at the diggings. May 19 —I wrote to you on the 13th ult. At thattime my exchequer was so low that I was, as I told you, obliged to go and pass the Easter holydays in the bush. Since thenfor tune has played so many queer pranks upon me in such rapid succession that I can hardly yet take them for n reality. I will, however, endeavour to give you a rapid account of what has occurred to me during this short, but eventful period. After I had finished my letter to you of the 13th ult , I took my carpet-bag to an old acquaintance to get it stored for a while, until I could look out for em ployment. On my going to him, whom I had not seen for a twelvemonth previous, of couse numerous inquiries were made on both sides as to how the " world wagged " with us. I frankly confessed that it was very "hard cheese" with me. and that I would freely take anything I could get to keep me afloat. I said nothing about the state of my purse, nor that I had been forced to go and "hide my diminished head" in the bush during the holydays ; but told him I was going in search of employment up the country. This brought about a conversation as to the sort of situation I had been accustomed to at home. Upon my informing him, he said, " Why our governors (storemen) are in want of a clerk; if you like, I will go and speak to Mr. -- on the subject." " But," says I " look at my dress (I was in dig ger's weeds), I cannot appear before him in this raiment. " Never mind your dress," he replied, " Mr. -- was obliged to go a-shepherding when he came to the colony, and can therefore the more easily understand your case.'' "All right," says I ; " go and pave the way for my ap pearance before him." Go he did, and in a few minutes I was in the presence of Mr. --. The interview was very 'short. He eyed me most closely from head to foot with a look of astonishment, I supposed, or rather inferred, from my impudence in applying for the situation in such attire ; asked what I had been doing since I came to the colony, my employment at home, Sz,c., and then told me they would consider about it, and let me know in a few days. I concluded that this interview in my digging attire had made a damping impression to my prejudice, but I de cided on remaining in town for a short time to hear the result. Nothing came of it after waiting for nearly a week ; I therefore left, and passed the next night in the bush, a few miles from town, with little to satisfy the cravings of the inward man. Next day, starvation staring me in the face, I parted with my faithful old dog, Rattler, who has been, as I told you before, my constant companion ever since I came to this colony, for three sovereigns only, and then turned my nose the road towards the interior in search of work, but could obtain none. Three days after wards I found myself at Castlemaine, and now determined on going to the Avoca diggings to see my brother and tell him how I was situated. In two days more I reached that place, with only a few shillings in my pocket. He, like a brother, came forward at once and offered me a yeceipt for 25 oz. of gold, deposited with the commissioner at Bendigo and gave me 2/. to see me to that place. I did not want so much, but he insisted on it, so I took it and left the same evening for Bendigo. I made six miles that night, and about 30 miles the next day brought me to the crossing place on the Loddon River, about 12 miles from Castle maine, when a heavy thunderstorm was impending, which obliged me to halt and put up at a pseudo-refreshment tent for the night, contrary to my usual practice when travelling in this country in any reasonable weather. I generally light a fire in the bush, and rig up a " mi-mi" of boughs, and avoid these accommodation places by the road-side, as they are known throughout the diggings for their bad repute, with very few exceptions. Well, it was here that I met with an adventure which nearly cost my life. I cannot go into full details—that must be left for a long winter evening's tale by a cosy fireside, if ever I am spared to enjoy that comfort again. This refreshment place was a den of bushrangers and robbers, they managed to hocus me in a glass of soda-water, but, thank God, the dose had been got up by an inexperienced hand, and to this fact alone do I attribute my safety and ultimate escape from these scoundrels. The dose, instead of stupifying me, as they undoubtedly intended, only excited my brain. 'The moment I felt its effects I bolted out of the place, between 10 and 11 o'clock at night, with only my shirt and trowsers on, and ran into the bush as fast as my legs would carry me, in order to save my life ; the villains pursued me on horseback, but the s wiftness of my flight, the darkness of the night, and afterwards, by what I can not but think was a special interposition of Providence in directing my course, the voice of a bird—the " maw-paw," or Australian cuckoo—saved me. The effects of the drug produced ou my imagination were most extraordinary ; I was under the influence of a very strange feeling for six hours afterwards—not like that of drink; I cannot describe it. I was perfectly conscious of everything, yet could fix no object steadily in my eye ; every thing seemed as reflected through a mirror ; I got over the ground so light and airily, if you can comprehend me, that though my body felt keenly the cold morning air, and the pricks and scratches of the stones and brushwood upon my feet, it seemed as if tenanted by something supernatural, which lifted me above the things of the earth, and divested me of fatigue—l cannot toll you how. My brain must have been in a very strange state from the effects of the drug, for, although this bird, the maw-paw, undoubtedly accompanied me for miles, yet the most curious part is, that I interpreted its sayings into directions which way I was to run, &c. —for instance, "going astray , " " follow that star," " stop "rest," "look up," "follow the star again," &c., all of which I imagined I heard as plainly and as clearly as any . thing I ever head in my life, and which I implicitly fol lowed, putting myself entirely under the protection and guidance of this voice. Next morning 1 found that this bird had led we through the bush, over ranges and galley' for a *am of Neva or Oieit jot o, droplet* lino ~ .~/ ~GiG K-7 [PRICE SD. than it was possible I could have gone over this unknown ground in broad daylight. Next morning at daybreak I found I was in the township of Muckleford, about five miles from Castle ma i ne, where I related what had hap pened to me, and claimed prot ec ti on f rom th e v ill a i ns w h o would be prowling about the roa d i n search of me—their crd being "Dead men tell no tales." I was told there were no police nearer than Castlemaine, and that many robberies had been heard of lately at the very same place. They gave me a pair of old shoes, and furnished me with a breakfast. While I was partaking of it, who should pass the door of the house but one of the gang of scoundrels on his way from Castlemaine, and, from the direction be was taking, it was clear that he must have been pro - hug about the road all the night, or got on to where I sal% hint before daylight. I felt quite sure be was lookinL, after me, and if he had met me on the road my life woUl,i have been sacrificed. I had left all my " swag"behind me when I bolted out of the robber's tent, and was anxious to I get it back, and on arrival at Castlemaine I applied to the police magistrate to assist me, and send some troopers to arrest the vagabonds, but was politely informed that, although he had heard a great deal of these fellows' mis deeds, he could not assist me. Finding I could get no re dress, I went on to Bendigo, and ordered the gold to be sent down by escort to town, and returned there myself with all haste. I there found that Mr. -- had been in quiring of my old acquaintance for me, and I was to be set to work to bring up the stock-book, and, if I suited, I was to be taken on as shipping clerk, and to display my abilities in this schoolboy's work. I had seen the same day that Mr. -- was advertising for a book-keeper, and, finding it was likely to be a first-rate berth, I told my ac quaintance I should apply for it. He furnished me with pen, ink, and paper, and I sat down and penned an appli cation accordingly. Next morning I got my . trunk, rigged myself out in a c i v ili se d manner, an d then delivered my letter in person. Mr. read it, looked at me and smiled, asked to see my testimonials, then asked me a few questions about them, and at once offered to take me on at 3001. per annum to begin with, promising to increase that sum if I continued in his employment and gave satis faction. I accepted the offer and took my seat in the office instanter, thinking myself lucky-in obtaining the situation so easily and unexpectedly. In a few months it will be worth 4001. per auntrtn ; indeed, I could get that sum now, but I prefer waiting awhile before I ask for it, and until I get more knowledge of the business transactions of this city. I have now given you a history of my ups and downs in Victioria, extending over a period of only three weeks, and I leave you to judge if they have not been of a very varied and uncommon character. The fact is, a man may as well be withbut his head as without money here, and is far better at home. If I had a few hundred pounds to start me with, I would not be the servant of any one, for, altered as things are here of late, I would soon be on the high road to fortune. I have hitherto followed gold digging on the plan of " something or nothing," in hopes of dropping on something, but nothing has been my lot. 11l health for more than six weeks was the cause of my be ing " stumped out" on Campbell's Creek, where I was workkg quite alone. - , e • these difficulties with the assistance of Schweigger's and Ampere's inventions, and those gentlemen in 1837 took out a patent for a needle instrument, and in July of the same year it was laid down between Euston-sgtiar -ased Camden-town stations, and although apparently surer. ful it was ordered to be again removed. i„The baffled, but not disheartened inventors, fre e . ceeded, however, in having in 1839 an experimental length on the Great Western Railway from London to Slough ; but here it remained for some years without exciting public attention, and was considered a fano.. by the two most important railways in the kingdom while the Government had previously, in reply to an application, statel that " the telegraph was of no use ist time of peace, and that the Semaphore in time of was . answered all the required purposes." In 1844 I examined carefully its action on the Great Western Railway, in order to form a judgment of how far it admitted of certain action, and was not liable to interruption ; and being satisfied on these points I re commended its adoption on the South-Eastern Railway, . when I was the principal engineer, and described, is addition to its advantages of safety, that of the econorer which would arise from the saving in pilot plant, &c., and my recommendation was carried into effect ; and without claiming anymerit to neyeelf beyond ' pointing out its advantages, I confidently believed that ' had not the South-Eastern directors adopted it, and had they placed the invention in the hands of a lees able and scientific manager than Mr. C. V Walker, it might still have been years before the electric telegraph had arrived at its pre-ent perfection and extensive appli. cation, or even before capital could have been raised to carry out the Telegraph €.;ompany, which has now above 25,000 miles of wire. the di rectors to maakned areWegituh r an e y fe h r u en m c b e le t , o the submarine telegraph my claims e c x o p n e si r s i t m s e i bility, and i nsure to them its advantages nmipslytointerester p m r e ac n t d i i ca. ng The great difficulty to overcome was the perfect insu lation of thewires, which was accomplished by Mr. Wal, ker who succeeded in sen ding submarine mehsages by gotta percha wire at Folkestone before the cable was proposed ; and it is therefore the more to be regretted by the South-Eastern Railway that the submarine Telegraph has fallen into other hands, from the effect it would have exercised on the continental traffic ; and it is to be equally regretted that an arrangement was not made with the Submarine Company when they had first esta blished the water communication, and before they had obtained the power to extend it on land from Dover t) London—an arrangement which would have been mu tually adyantageous to both companies. I accompanied the expedition to lay th e mbalarine cable as a visitor only, and was no less delighted at the end of that anxious day to be able, in a gale of wind, t o send a message 'to England, than were Mr. Wollaston and Mr. Crampton, the engineers ; brit I have not in tended to imply for an instant that the successful resutt of that difficult operation was otherwise than due alone to these gentlemen. It will be satisfactory to me, and is, I think, due to the engineers above-mentioned, that you should publish this communication. PETER W. BARLOW. • 26, Great George-street, Westminster, Sept. 14. THE AUSTRIANS IN WALLACHIA. (Prom the Daily Newe.) The officers of the Austrian army of occupation in Wallachia are conducting themselves at Bucha ' rest with the same insolent brutality which they have for years been excercising at the expense of ' the inhabitants of the Lombardo-Venetian terri tories. The letter of our correspondent at Bucha rest, which we published yesterday, contained an account of their intolerably overbearing demeanour, in so far as the Turkish Government was concerned. The letter from the same gentleman, which we pub lish to-day, contains an account of their treatment of private individuals. The magnanimous General Popovitch performs a prominent part in the drama. This gallant hero, who in 1848 saved his skin by surrendering to a much inferior force under Guyon, and quietly remaining a pris oner t o th e end of the war, is now displaying his valour at the expense of the lodging-house keepers and ladies of Bucharest. Because an unfortunate house , owner, whose apartments have pleased him, refuses to unlock the rooms of two lodgers who are in the country, and give them up to the Austrian general, Popovitch aim* beats the doors off their hinges. If he ultimately gained admission—a matter still in doubt—it is to be hoped the absent lodgers ob tained a good account of the property they had left behind them under lock and key. Popovitch did not come off - so scathless in his attempt to insult a lady of Bucharest upon whom he wished to quarter some of his staff. Omer Pacha in terfered ; told the Austrian hero in the plainest language what he thought of his conduct; and Po povit‘i apologised. In so doing he acted in ser vile imitation of his Commander-in• Chief. General Hess advanced towards Bucharest, distributing right and left handfulls of a proclamation, in which he ordered the Wallachian authorities to apply to his aide-de-camp for instructions in everything. Omer Pacha protested against this order, repre senting to Feldzeugmeister Her; that as general of a friendly army of occupation he had nothing to do with the civil government of Wallachia, which va.s,vested in him, Omer Packa.__Tkie. geldzepg meister apologised t; rowed he had n o i n t en t ion to encroach upon tile jurisdiction of the Pacha ; and, to prove this, showed the proclamation in the original German, where the Wallachian authorities were only instructed to apply to his Adjutant in all things connected with the Austrian troops. It was curious that this important mission in the Walla chian translation was never discovered till after Omer Pacha had remonstrated. The apology of General Popovitch was an equally tardy and un gracious compliance with a broad hint from Omer Pacha. Will Feldzeugmeister Hess and General Popovitch be equally amenable to the rebukes of the Pacha after the Austrian army of occupation has been concentrated around Bucharest f They are both trying how far they may venture to go ; and in future the amount of their power will be the exact measure of the insolence of the one in his intercourse with the Turkish authori ties, and of the brutality of the other in his inter course with the non-official Wallachians of every rank, age, and sex. The spirit of Radetzky, the oppressor of Italy, animates Hess ; the spirit of Haynau, the woman-flogger, has migrated into Popovitch. The Government of Vienna already regards the Danubian Principalities as equally its own property in perpetuity with Venice and Lom bardy. It is governing the new acquisition in the same spirit that it has ruled tie old. By the con vention of the 14th of June last the Porte has bound itself to admit the advance of Austrian troops into the Principalities, and to allow them to remain there until a new special convention regu lating their retreat has been concluded between the Austrian and Turkish Governments. The Aus trians having taken the precaution to prevent their being forcibly expelled from ,Wallachia and liol davia, are already beginning to show their deter mination to act there not as friendly allies, but as masters. They will take upon them an authority they are not entitled to, like Feldzeugmeister Hess In his proclamation ; they will continue to act as if their authority were real if not resisted ; if op poied, they will laugh the matter off as a mistake, but repekt the experiment on the first opportunity; and they will end by carrying their point. The fate of the Porte in regard to the Danubian Principalities is the exact counterpart of the fate of one of the animal heroes of au /Esopian fable. The horse begged the huntsman to avenge it on its enemythe stag. The huntsman consented, on condi 6, on that the horse would take a bridle in its mouth, and a saddle on its back, and allow him to mount it for the chase. The hon4e consented, but when ; the stag was killed, and the ch as e was a t an end, the horseman refused to di smoun t.

Here are both their hands—the hands of England's Foreign. Minister and of England's Ambassader at Constan tinople —to the confession that the occupation of Wallachia by the Austrians is their work. The effect of that occupation has already been to para lyse and strike despondency to the heart of Omer Paoha ; to disorganise his army by de prfving him of his best—his only reliable offi cers ; to subject the Wallachians, men and women, to the brutalities of men bred in the schools of Radetzky and IlaYnall ; and to consign to Aus trian fortresses and dungeons the residue of th e Hungarian patriots who have not yet been hanged, s h o t, or imprisoned in Austria, and have not found refuge in England or America. And all these consequences must have been foreseen by ministers and diplomatists who have been long conversant with the Austrian Government.

NAVAL AND MILITARY INTELLIGENCE. Her Majesty's steamers Dauntless and Stromboli re turned to Portsmouth yesterday from Brest, where they left the Russian prisoners out of the St. Vincent, from Bomarsund. The Stromboli moved her powder, and steamed into Portsmouth harbour yesterday. The Daunt less will go into harbour to-day. The Rhadamanthus steam-transport, Master. Commander Petley, sailed yesterday afternoon for Woolwich. The Sphinx goes to the Black Sea. The Vefredo steam-vessel undocked yesterday afternoon, and the Fire Queen steam-vessel hauled in the vacant dock to have her bottom cleaned. APPOINTMENT. Lieutenant Henry F. Al‘Killop (1847), at present com manding the Royal Charlotte revenue vessel, has been ap pointed to command the Snake screw-steam despatch gun boat. PROMOTIONS. Second Masters W. C. Pyper, Frank Inglis, R. P. T. Simpson, and Alexander Brown, promoted to the rank of master. Lieutenant J. A. Shears, to be commander; H. F. H. Willop to be Lieutenant-Commander of H.M.S. Snake. THE GUN-BOATS. The Lynx, screw steam despatch gun-boat, Lieutenant- Commander Luce, was taken out of the basin at Wool wich at half-past 5 a.m. yesterday, and at 5 minutes past 6 left for Greenhithe to have her compasses adjusted, and take on board from Purfleet her powder and live shells; her shot, both solid and grape, the latter consisting of fifteen 3-pounder shot, covered with tarred sail-cloth, and attached to an 8-inch iron wadding for each charge of the 68. pounder Lancaster's oval guns having been taken on board previously at Woolwich. The stokers employed in the Lynx being new hands and inexperienced in the manner of getting up proper fires in the furnaces, and keeping them in good condition, had great difficulty in getting up the steam while proceeding down the river, and it was only while passing the measured mile at Long Reach that the fires became more brisk, and the engines ran up from 83 to 100 revolutions per minute, that she attained greater speed, and although the full power of steam she is capable of using was not raised, she ran the measured mile in five minutes 10 seconds, or at the rate of 11.613 knots per hour, the tide being slack and the wind ahead. The engines worked well, and it is evident she will make fully an average speed of it knots per hour with the greates ease. She will leave Greenhithe to-day for Davenport and the Black Sea. The Snake is now having her engines of 160 horse-power put on board, at John Penn and Sons' establishment, at Deptford, and will be ready to be brought down to Wool wich on Monday next, where she is to be fitted and com pleted. PROMOTION FOR BALTIC SERVICE. The public and the service will be gratified to hear of the promotion of Lieutenant Offiey M. Crewe Read (1846) to the rank of commander. It will be recollected that this officer was the first who was wounded in the Baltic, and was strongly recommended for advancement by Capt. (Nemesis) Hall, whose first lieutenant he was, in the gallant attack at Ekness, and in which he lost an eye. THE PROBLEM'. Yesterday Mr. Jones, the High Marshal to the Court of Admiralty, made proclamation on the Royal Exchange that within 20 days the vessel Problem, of which J. Bro beck was late the master, captured by her Majesty's ship Cruizer, attempting to break the blockade of the Gulf of Finland, would be declared a lawful prize and sold for the benefit of the captors. HER MAJESTY'S NEW STEAM-YACHT THE WINDSOR CASTLE. During the recent visit of Mr. Watts, Assistant-Surveyor of the Navy, to Pembroke-yard, arrangements were made for accelerating the completion of this paragon of naval construction, so as to insure her being ready for launching by next January. The following are some of the principal dimensions of this beautiful craft :—Extreme length, 310 feet; length between perpendiculars, 300 feet; breadth I extreme, 404 feet; tonnage, 2,350 tons; engines, 600- horse power (paddle). ARRIVAL OF THE POLYPHEMUS. The Polyphemus, 6, paddle-wheel sloop, Commander Phillips, arrived at Portsmouth from the coast of Africa on Wednesday, to be paid off. She left Ascension on the 30th of July, at which time tho Scourge, 6, paddle.sloop, Commodore Adams, Commander-in-chief of the squadron, and the Tortoise, 12, Captain Aitchen, were the only men of-war there. She reports the Ferret, 8, Commander 11`Donald, having taken a prize in one of the rivers to the northward of Sierra Leone. Lieutenant J. Packwood, of the Tortoise, has come to England in the Polyphemus, which discharged her powder at Spithead yesterday, pre paratory to steaming into Portsmouth harbour to be put out of commission. PROVISION FOR THE WIVES AND CHILDREN OF THE EXPEDITIONARY ARMY. Arrangements are being made at the Casemate Barracks, St. Mary's, Brompton, near Chatham, for the reception of the wives and children of the soldiers serving in the expe ditionary army in Turkey. The rooms taken up for their use, and which are now being whitewashed, &c., by the Board of Ordnance, are capable of accommodating from 300 to 400 persons ; the number of women reported coming are close on 300; they are expected ut Chatham on Friday next, as they have left Malta by a steamer ; as soon as each of their cases can be inquired into by a Chelsea board of officers, and the parishes to which they belong can be as certained, they will be forwarded free of expense. MILITARY. The reserve of the 71st Light Infantry is ordered home from Canada. It will land at Portsmouth, and proceed to Canterbury. The depot of the 65th Regiment will move from Wey mouth to Jersey. The service companies in New Zealand are to be augmented to 1,000 strong. The service companies of the 58th Regiment are ordered home from New Zealand. The depot moves from Jersey to Weymouth. The 15th Hussars, now stationed at Exeter, were in spected by General Sir Joseph Thackwell, as locum know for the Duke of Cambridge, Inspector-General of Cavalry, on Wednesday. THE STAFF AT HEAD QUARTERS.—CoIoneI Kelly, lately of the Staff at Chatham, has been appointed head of the Recruiting Department in London, in room of the late lamented Major-General Bushe, who was carried off by the prevailing epidemic. He has already entered upon the duties of the office. 60TH RIFLES.—A party of this corps left London by the Great Northern line, yesterday, for Huntingdon, for the ,purpose of drilling the county militia about to be called out. This is a Rifle Corps, under the command of the Earl of Sandwich ; Viscount Mandeville is major and second in command. The staff is being filled up. HIGHLAND COSTIIME.—A strange dress for the Highland regiments has been decided upon. The kilt will be retained in the regiments already wearing it, but the tunic or frock is to contain in front a quantity of cloth shaped as flaps. iTpnor Castle, near Rochester, with the magazine, are being prepared to receive the powder and military stores from the Bitltic fleet on its arrival. The old French prison at Milbay has been fitted up for Russian prisoners, and has been handed over by the Ord nance authorities to the Board of Admiralty. ELSINORE, Sept. 10.—The steam gun-boat Wrangler passed here on the 7th inst. southvvar"s ; and the French steamer Reine Hortense arrived here the same evening, and after coaling in these roads, proceeded southward on the oth inst. The French frigate Vengeance left these roads on the 9th inst., going northward. Sept. 11, 7 a.m.—The French war-steamer Amodio, with three British trans ports in tow, likewise with troops, is just now going north wards. EXTRAORDINARY ESCAPE PROM DROWNING.— On Wed nesday morning (says the Chelmsford Chronicle) David Cheek, four years old, son of Charles Cheek, labourer, residing on Kelvedon-road, near Coggleshall, by some means fell down a well, which is used to supply the cot tages in that locality with water. Fortunately, a neigh bour soon after went for a pail of water, and while in the act of winding it up she thought it unusually heavy, when on looking into the well, to her astonishment she saw the little fellow clinging to the pail, his face covered w ith blood. He reached the top, but became so exhausted that ho was obliged to loosen his hold, and he again fell to the bottom. A labourer, named Rootkin, descended and rescued the little fellow, and he is going on favour ably. LETTER OF PRINCE CZA.RTORYSKI TO THE POLES. The following letter has been addressed by Prince Czartoryski to his countrymen : " My dear Fellow -countrymen,—After various deceitful misfortunes, after hard and, perhaps, necessary trials, Di vino Providence, as it seems, satisfied with the manner in which we have borne the past, is now disposed to restore to us His protection. " Events which human wisdom had not foreseen, which it would have tried to prevent, have unexpectedly arisen, and may entirely change the situation of Europe. " The great Powers, some of whom had put their hand to our destruction—while the others have permitted it— are now brought to acknowledge the fatal r,sults to Europe of the partition of Poland, and to consider how much se curity and what advantages her re-establishment would procure. " Poland, without her name being yet pronounced, pre sents herself, imposes herself by the force of things, on the thoughts of nations, of the Cabinets and statesmen of Europe. • • .ta. cofftinual witness of these grave circumstances, and in a position to appreciate them near, guardian of your interests abroad and interpreter of your intentions, have resolved, my dear countrymen, to address you the follow- ingadvice:-- All the Polish nation in the vast provinces which form our country is, above all, unanimously desirous of national independence. All Poles, whatever opinions they hold, agree in acknowledging that if, according to the designs of Providence, they are called upon to take a part in the con test, an energetic and so to say, a military Government, will be necessary as long as that contest shall last. " This sovereign and unanimous decision, the funda mental proof of our national vitality and the bond of our common union, excludes from admission any party who would disturb our unanimity by the premature discussion .)f the form of government which that party would urge upon the country for acceptance. " Independence once conquered, the nation alone would have the right to decide on the form of her government, and would spontaneously feel the propriety of taking into account the advice of friendly Powers. "The emigration, more free in its movements, and not bound to equal reserve, will take care not to embarrass the national will Its'dnly mission is to watch and to be de voted abroad to the interests of the country as long as that country is in fetters; and as soon as they are, if it please nod, shaken off, to obey the impulse of the nation. "It is said, dear fellow-countrymen, that you have made everywhere a conspiracy of tranquillity and wisdom. Strive to justify, to merit that accusation. " Receive the overtures made to you from whatever quarter they come; but before you put entire faith in them, before you proceed to any spontaneous act, ask—re quire real guarantees. " These will be real when the Powers, or any onQof them, shall have declared that independent Poland Nall be strong and exist in her own right for the well-being of Europe ; when that Power shall be occupied with the for mation of a national army, under Polish chiefs, employing, with that view, the Polish soldiers who fill the ranks of contending armies. Then, but then only, run forward and re-unite yourselves from all parts ; declare loudly that you will no longer kill one another ; march like one man to the deliverance of your country, and against him who would oppose the decrees of justice and the voice of Europe. " 'ltio Poles have been too often deceived in their hopes, too often they haves eon promises lightly listened to vanish in smoke ; too often have they put themselves forward on the first appearance of what seemed a favourable chance, and, victims of this confidence, they have only gathered increasing calamities from their facility in following the impulse of others. " Preserve in every part of our country your now prudent and calm attitude ; wait for events. It is the advice given you by all the sincere friends of Poland. The patient tranquillity which at present reigns in Poland proceeds not from inanition or from death ; it is, on the contrary, a proof of wis.lom and prudence, the sign of life and of the inward strength of the nation, that knows how to re strain herself, to show greater energy when the moment shall come to develope her might. "Follow, my countrymen, that line of conduct which will preserve you from the greatest of misfortune s , that of intestine divisions—or at least wh a t ever fate Goddestines to you, which will shelter you against increased calamities. "The providential concurrence of the events hitherto accomplished must fortify and augment your faith in Di vine bounty and justice. It will, perhaps, be through our country, that unforeseen by herself or any one else the balance will be definitively inclined in unravelling the present crisis. _ _ - " Receive, dear compatriots, the expression of the ardent wishes which I form, in concert with you, for our unhappy country.—Your faithful and devoted compa triot, "A. CZARTORYSICI. " Paris, Aug. 26." SOUTH-EASTERN RAILWAY-ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH. TO THE ZDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR,—A letter from a shareholder, claiming for me the merit of the introduction of the electric telegraph on the South-Eastern Railway, and a reply signed " Walker," have appeared in several of the daily papers. It is due to Mr. Charles V. Walker, the able and scientific manager of the telegraph on the South- Eastern Railway, who does not appear to be the author of the letter signed by a Mr. Walker, and whose name is not mentioned in either communication, to state that the degree of certainty and perfect action which has enabled the electric telegraph to be used as a pro tection from accidents is, in a great measure, to be at tributed to the improvement introduced by that gentle man, and to his able management of this invention when in its infancy. The electric telegraph, which is undeniably the greatest invention of the present century, is nut the re sult of a single mental effort, or of a single individual, and accordingly there are many who are entitled to a share in this beautiful result, a brief mention of whom may not be uninteresting to your readers. The first important step to render availablefor making signals the known power of conveying electricity by metal wires was that of Oersted, who, in 1819, discovered that magnetic needles were deflected by the passage of a current of electricity through a wire parallel to and surrounding them. We had thus the main requisition of the present needle telegraph ; but it was found that the action was so feeble that a needle would not be deflected by a wire, the battery of which was at a considerable distance, a difficulty which was overcome by Schweigger, who found that the deflecting power of the current was multiplied, and its sensibility most increased, by passing a great number of times round the needle a wire thoroughly in sulated by a covering of silk thread. At the period of Oersted's valuable discovery, Arago detected another law, which furnished a separate method by which electricity might be made to convey messages, viz., that the electric current had the power of impart ing magnetism to iron and steel, and shortly-afterwards Mr. Sturgeon, of Woolwich, invented the first electric magnet, by coiling copper in connection with a battery, round a piece of soft iron. This is the principle of action in the electro magnetic telegraph, w hi c h i s worked to the extent of a b ove 12,000 miles in A mer i ca. The pow er o f d e fl ec ti ng a nee dl e by electricity was thus known a s ear l y as 1820, an d i n 1823 t an experiment to to render it ava il a bl e as a t e l egrap h was Pro fessor Ba r l ow , o f W oo l w i c h, on I,ooofeteemdo by ot the of wire, who needle, failed in obtaining s ufficient power t o de • to. overcome I 044 d it remained for Whostatoir "FL_coo k•
