"Dear Sir,—We are glad to say that your apparatus quite bears out the assurance you gave us that it would answer our purpose. " The doubt we had as to its adaptation to furnaces with defective draught is entirely removed. Our liquor copper now boils quite as soon as the wort copper, and with both there is a diminution in the consumption of fuel. "The experiment we witnessed at Messrs. CFIARINGTON, HEAD, and CO.'S, as to smoke prevention, we thought at the time perfectly snceessibi, and this impression we are happy to confirm from actual experience. "It will give us pleasure to reply to inquiries that may be ma d e by any Brewery Firms at Burton-on-Trent, but should suggest that it may probably be more satis'actory to those gentlemen to judge for themselves by seeing the furnaces at work, and this they can de at any I.lme.

The Sovereigns of Europe don't appear to be getting on so very well latterly. There was the King of PRUSSIA the other day, scarcely recovered from the effects of knocking his head against a tree in the royal garden at twilight, must needs go tumbling down and nearly breaking his neck in another fit of champagne. The poor King of SAXONY, we learn to-day, was killed suddenly a few hours since by a kick from one of his horses, in consequence of an overturn in his carriage on leaving Munich to return to Dresden. The King of GREECE has but just saved his crown from being forfeited, by an odious complicity with the designs of the Russian AUTOCRAT, by listening, just in time before it was absolutely too late, to the sagacious councils of Mr. WvsE and his French colleague at the Court of Athens, M. le 'Baron de ROUEN—backed as the advice coining to OTHo from those two able diplomatists . -fortunately was, by the arrival at the Piraeus of a small body of troops otherwise destined to swell the ranks of the Anglo-French contingents sent out to the .aid of the Sultan ABD-UL-MEDJID. The Queen of SPAIN too—we have all seen how nearly her Most Catholic MAJESTY was (about a week or so back) running hor head, not as With the mks - tering KOENIG FRITZ WinEtErat against the branch of an apple-tree at sun down--7but at broad noonday against the stone wall of a Revolution. A not inapt meta phor, by the way, for a barricade ! As for her luckless parent the Dowager Queen CHRISTINA —we have yet to learn whether she has contrived to escape with her Ittinkioz brood, scot-free from the bands of the Spanish people, as well as from the more gentle ones of the leaders of the trium phant insurrection. We 'were told the other morning, in a somewhat startling manner, cer tainly, of the EMPEROR of all the Russian ha • ving been within an ace of making a Voyage down the Baltic as a prisoner of war on board an English steamer, for ultimate incarceration in one of the historic chambers of the Tower of London. It appears, however/ on inquiry, that the whol e story is what our Yankee cousins on the other side of that little fishing,-pond the Atlantic are in the habit of calling m onosyllabically a " bam "—and what we are accustomed here at home to term in ie the vernacular rather more pciphrastically, a tale abOut a Cock and Bull However this may be, ! the Czar NICHOLAS is just now manifestly in any thing but an agreeable predicament. Confronted, wheth er h e l oo k s t o th e Baltic or to the Brack Sea, by the mighty fleets and armies of France and Raglan - d ! With his own legions driven back from the mud walls of Silistria— beaten in _eirery encounter by the Turks he af fected to despise—vrith his ablest commanders killed, or .wounded, •or out-generalled—and his troops compelled, with the loss of nearly 50,000 men, to retire hurriedly in the direction of Bessa rabia. He must feel himself, in fact, to say the least of it, rather in a Quand ary ! Remembering all the while the witty axiom (if we recollect rightly of Prince TALLEYRAND), that the "natural death" of a Russian EMPEROR is—not fever, not apoplexy, not bronchitis, not any of the ctutom ary ills that "flesh is heir to," but simply in one word—assassination ! Really, when the calamitiei, that have lately gathered about the crowned heads of Europe, here enumerated, are borne in reoollection— thei r imperial and royal contemporaries, more wise, or less unfortunate, have each we cannotbut think great reason, indeed, for gratitude to GOD and for earnest self-gratulation. His MAJESTY of Sweden and Norway, listening in his palace at Stockholm to the distant booming of the bombardment in the direction of Bomar sund ! His MAJVTY of Denmark giving audience to the General BARAGUAY D'HIIr IMRE, on his way to conduct 10,000 of the heroic soldiers of France to the aid (by laud) of the combined fleets sent out for the capture or destruction of St. Petersburg ! Or, again, the stripling King of PORTUGAL, still on his gay tour from court to court among the less agitated countries of the European Continent ! While his Majesty of SAxoNY is. being killed by a kick from a horse on the Munich highway, the King of the BELGIANS is happily presiding undis turbed over his Constitutional Government—the King of SARDINIA endeavouring in some man ner to carry out by a pacific policy what his gal lant and lamented predecessor vainly strove to effect by warlike means, namely, the advancement of his *own subjects, and the regeneration, if pos sible, of the whole Italian peninsula. The youth ful Emperor of AUSTRIA meanwhile consoling him self for the close of the • honeymoon by exult ing over the success of the new loan which in any way empowers him to ac; as prudence may seem to dictate in any emergency—deferring still, as long as possible, the inevitable day of action, when there must at length be an end of this long wire-drawn coil of diplomatic nego tiation. Passing over the lesser potentates of Europe, unnecessary here to b 3 individually particularised, and looking nearer at hand—to the august rulers of the two great allied nations of the West, the &lids of the world and the champions of civili sation—we find them of all the most happily situated, while surrounding ionarchs are struck, Ine by one, by calamitous death, by agcnising iuspense, or by the thunderbolts of revolution. The Queen of ENGLAND, in her Royal yacht, passing a summer's holiday iu a pleasant cruise among the Channel Islands ! The Emperor of FRANCE, whiling away in domestic seclusion at his imperial retreat at Biaritz, the hours not ne cessarily dedicated to the gi ci crantic labour of directing every Movement, 1116 , least and the mightiest, of his immense and magnifi cent Government ! VimoRIA and NAPOLEON— united in purpose by the bonds of a cordial alliance have, indedd, ample reason to exult with profound emotions over their own tranquil happiness now, when, with misery apparent as the lot of so many of their con temporary Sovereigns, they are sending forth their enormous armaments to the ends of the world, in the cause of civilisation and in the interests of humanity, not for selfish conquest, but for the re-establishment of the peace of Christendom. At length, after a delay of nearly four weeks, the decision of the fust Court-martial on Lieu tenant PERRY has been officially promulgated. Fortunately, it was essential that the entire pro ceedings should be considered by a fair and impar tial officer (the Right Hon. C. P. VILLIERS, Judge-- Advocate, or his deputy), and by him submitted to our most gracious SOVEREIGN for approval before the sentence could be carried into execu tion, or the practical jests of the officers of the gallant 46th brought to their appropriate termi nation by the dismissal of their unfortunate butt from her MAJESTY'S service. Had it been otherwise, the ruin of the victim would have been accomplished ; his name would be -stigma tised for the remainder of his life, and the career on which he had entered brought to a premature and most untoward conclusion. The finding of the Court substantially was, that Lieut. PERRY was guilty of the charge preferred against him, and he was thereupon sentenced to be dismissed from her ALIJEsTY's service. He was, how ever, unanimously iecommended to mercy, on ac count of the grea t provocation which he had received. The ill-used young man was, however, a suitor for justice—not for mercy. The recommeuda- Con of the Court would probably have procured im the purchase-money of his commission, the Awn which lie himself had actually paid for the privilege of being bullied and maltreated, addressed in the most opprobrious language, and subjected to personal violence by the "officers and gentlemen" 'f the 46th Regiment. But fur that indulgence, he should have consented to rest under the re proach of an unfavourable decision of a military tribunal—of having been guilty of "conduct un beco,niug an officer and a gentleman, and to the prejudice of good order and military discipline." From this opprobrium he has, however, been saved. The disgrace has been transferred from his character to officers of far greater experience, and holding much higher rank in the service. The Judge-Advocate-General hav ing carefully perus-d the proceedings of the Court, discovered that it had been guilty of sins both of commission and of, omission—that it had admitted evidence against the prisoner which ought to have been rejected, while it had refused evidence in his favour that ought to have been received. Under such circumstances there was no alternative but to advise 'her MAJESTY to refuse the necessary confirmation of the sentence. This has been done, and the entire proceedings have accordingly fallen to the ground. Although it could scarcely be supposed that the , - Court would have convicted Lieutenant PERRY for an act not merely committed under great provo cation, but what was palpably one of self-defence, it was quite clear that the refusal to abide by any authority was in itself sufficient to vitiate the proceedings. When the cross interrogatories put by the accused for the purpose of eliciting the cause of the quarrel were suppressed, and he was told that " he must confine himself to the shaking of .the evidence of the witness," with the addition that he should " have an opportunity of bringing these things forward when called on for his de fence"—when also the authority of the standard work on military tribunals (Simmons on Courts martial) was contumeliously repudiated, and the extraordinary. doctrine put forward, that "the only authority for the court was the Mutiny Act" (!), the gross illegality of the whole pro ceedings became too painfully apparent that there could be no hope of an impartial and equitable adjudication. Everything that could bear against the prisoner was admitted, however inap pmi i i c g a h b t 1 , e if e t i n r a h v e i s r s efavwohaurt rceojeucldted. not Hbee he v e p r Y l e t a s h i t : 3 4 denied, but he should not venture to set up a justification , and prove it out of the mouths of his adversaries ; that, forsooth, was " matter for his defence," for which he should • bring forward hostile witnesses, and not be necessarily granted on a allowed the license cross-examination. De spite all the objections offered, and what Colonel GARRETT termed the animus exhibited, the in tended victim passed triumphantly through the ordeal, and the barbed shafts aimed against him have ,recoiled with telling effect against his perse cutors. y es —the loose system of discipline—the unfair an d partial favouritism practised in the corp s ht despite every obstacle. have been brought to light . Even the strange and unaccountable oblivion that has oppressed the faculties of the great majority Abe ireof--the 46th, has failed to shroud ' these extraordinary transactions in mystery. The public have learned quite enough of the every day, or it might be more appropriately termed the every-night-proceedings of the officers, sanc tioned and connived at by some, if not all, of their seniors. There is no longer any possibility of concealing the discreditable revelations—and if such conduct be suffered to prevail by the mili tary authorities, it is some satisfaction to know that it is properly estimated by the community at large, and that the voice of public opinion has plainly and unequivocally proclaimed the general feeling on the subject. The decision on the first trial must be conclu sive on that now pending. It was for protesting against decisions such as 'those which have now been proved to be erroneous that Lieutenant PERR? has been subjected to the last accusation. The prejudice and bias of the Court now sitting has been even more palpable than of that whose decision has not been confirmed. In like manner they have refused permission to the prisoner to ask most pertinent and proper questions on cross examination. In like manner they have ad mitted that which should not have been received, determined, like the Irish jury, who convicted a man of murder because he had stolen, or rather was supposed to have stolen, a colt from the fore man, that he should not escape under any circum stances. If his protest was erroneous, the QUEEN and the Judge-Advocate-General have fallen into a similar mistake. If it was correct, it should not be made a ground for victimising him. He has already been subjected to a ruinous expense, sufficient. to accomplish the desired object, of crushing a young man, who deemed it more correct to live within slender means than to incur debts which he had no reasonable prospect of being enabled to discharge. We must, how ever, await the conclusion of the proceedings before we can speak more fully on this part of .the case. We believe, however, that the public will not permit the unfortunate accused to be crushed by the costs. As he has escaped one of the conse quences of the persecution, he must be protected from another no less fatal to his future prospects. THE SUN, LONDON, FIRI DAY EVENING, AUGUST 11, 1854. COURT CIRCULAR. AUGUST 8. The Quean and the Prince, accompanied by the Prince of Wales, Princes Alfred and Arthur, and the Princess fielena, arrived in the harbour of S. Mary's, in the island of Alderney, at about half-past six this evening, in the royal yacht Victoria and Albert. The yacht was accompanied by her Majesty's yachts Fairy arid the . Black E.lgle, and H.M.S. Dasher, Captain Lefevre. Shordy after the royal yacht bad anchored, - Colonel Le Mesurier, the officer in command in the island, waited upon her Majesty, as did also Vice-Admiral Sir Thomas Cochrane, who was at the island on a tour of inspection. The Prince, with the Prince of Wales and Prince Alfre 1, landed and visited the new works and the break water. Vice-Admiral Sir Thomas Cochrane and Colonel Le Mesurier had the honour of dining with her Maje3ty. AUGUST 9. This morning, Mr. J. Gaudiob, Judge of Alderney, with the pincipal nathorities of the island, Came on b ►aril and presented a dutiful and loyal address to her Majesty. • Shortly after, the Qieen and Prince, accompanied by the Prince of Wales, Prince Alfred, and the Princess Helena. and a,tten led by the Marchioness of Ely, the Hon. Mary Bulteel, Major-General the Hon. C. Grey, Colonel the Hon. C. Phipps, Captain Du Plat, and Mr. ianded and proceJcled to visit the principal ob- jects of interest in the island. - Her Majesty, with the Prince and Royal Family, at tended by the suite, re-embarked at about 12 o'clock, and the royal yacht, accompanied as before, made a circuit of the island, and then proceeded direct for the Needles. The yacht had anchored at Hurst Castle, at 8 o'clock, p.m. OSBORNE, AUGUST 10. The royal yacht arrived off the pier this morning, soon after nine oclock. The Queen and Prince Albert, with the royal family, and suite, shortly afterwards disem barked, and pr o c ee d e d t o sborne. ARRIVAL OP HER MAJESTY THIS DAY.—This morning her Majesty, accompanied by Prince Albert, left Osborne House and embarked on board the Fairy royal steam yacht, crossed to Gosport, and travelled to London by special train of the London and South-Western Railway, and arrived at the new station erected for her e-pecial use, in the Wandsworth-road, shortly before one o'clock. Her Majesty proceeded, with the royal suite, in four carriages, to Buckinghain Palace. THE FISH DINNER.—The following members of the Ministry were present at the fish dinner at Greenwich on Wedaesday evening :—Lord J. Russell, Duke of Argyll, Earl Granville, Duke of Newcastle, Viscount Palmerston, Right Hon. Sir Charles Wood, Bart., Right Hon. Sir William Molesworth, Bart., Right Hon. Sid ney Herbert, Viscount Canning, Viscount Sydney, Lord Wodehouse, Lord Stanley of Alderley, Right Hon. W. G. Hayter, Right Hon. Lord Ernest Bruce, Right Hon. Edward Cardwell, Right Hon. Earl of Mulgrave, Right Hon. Sir John Young, Mr. Grenville Berkeley, the Solicitor-General, Major-General Buckley, Mr. Chichester Fortescue, Lord Alfred Hervey, Mr. Lowe, Mr. Monsell, Mr. Frederick Peel, and Mr. James Lieutenant-Colonel W. H. Sykes had an interview with the Earl of Aberdeen yesterday at his official resi dence in Downing street. A meeting of the governors of the Wellington College was held yesterday at the new Palace of \Vestminster. There were present Viscount Hardinge, the Right Hon. Sidney Herbert, Sir Howard Douglas, Mr. FT. Cox, Mr. P. R. Hoare, and Mr. Chance, acting secretary. Sir James Graham has, we regret to say, been suffering from an attack of pleurisy. He was a little better yes terday evening, but is still confined to his bed. The labour of his office has of late been very severe. Major-General Chatterton, K IL, has received from her Majesty the pension for distinguished services in the army. Earl Jermyn has left England for the Continent. The Earl of Mansfield has left the Dowager Countess of Mansfield's, in Langham•place, for his shooting quar ters in the Highlands. The Duke and Duche , s of Wellington, after the proro gation, will leave Be'grave street, on a visit to the IVlar qui3 'and Marchioness of Tweedda:e, eu route to the Highlands, Viscount and Viscountess Combermere have returned to Belgrave-square, from Buxton, where they have been pas-ung some weeks. The viscount has come to town to officiate as " G',;(l Stick," at the prorogation of Parlia ment by her Majesty on Saturday. Lord Brougham left Grafton-street on Wednesday for Brougham-hall, near Penrith. Laly Brougham will leave town is a few days, for Frankfort, on a visit to Sir Alexander and Lady Malet, en route for the German baths. The Emperor and Empress of France have been joined at Biarritz by the Countess de Montijo and the Duchqss de Alba, her Majesty'd mother and sister. Both their Majesties continue to enjoy excellent health ; the Em press in particular appears to have derived great benefit from the climate and from sea bathing. Their Majesties are now able to walk or drive out without being fol lowed by crowds as on their arrival. The Empress often drives herself in a small carriage by the sea side, attended only by a lady of honour. The Emperor oc cupies himself with the plan of his future residence. M. de Persigny, who arrived in Paris from Switzer land, started on Wednesday for Biarritz, on a visit to the Emperor. His Excellency Count Walewski, the French Minister at our Court, with the countess, arrived at Florence, from Milan, on the 2d instant. THE LONG VACATION.—The long vacation of the common law courts commenced yesterday, and will ter minate on the 24th of October. In the interval plead ings remain in abeyance. Last year there were 72,514 actions brought in the superior common law courts -22,994 in the Queen's Bench, 16,106 in the Common Pleas, and 33,414 in the Exchequer. In the County Courts there were 484,946 plaints entered. UNIVERSITY FOR WALES.—Under the title of "The University for Wales," it has been proposed to unite and incorporate the College of St. David's at Lampeter, the Liandovery Institution, the Brecon College, and the various endowed grammar-schools in the Principality, and that students from all the above shall be admissible for degrees in arts and divinity. The want of a central institution of this description has long been felt, and it has often been urged that a strong necessity existed for the establishment of a university where Welshmen could receive a large and comprehensive education and good mental training without being obliged to incur heavy expenses to obtain them. The idea has been mooted by the Anglo-Welsh clergymen. WESTMINSTER BRIDGE.—The proposed plan for the erection of a temporary wooden bridge at Westminster, during the building of the permanent structure, has been abandoned. It is now intended to construct one side, or half of the bridge, from shore to shore, in the first instance, next to the houses of Parliament. The breadth of this will be about 50 feet 4 inches, the width of the present bridge. On its completion, that will be opened fur traffic, and the demolition of the old bridge Corn- B rn y e n t c h e i , s t a o r r complete n t t h c e o r n e s n i i d a e i r n a i g e h e a x l p f e o n f s t e h e i s n s e a w v d a g n e d . no interruption occasioned to public traffic. MADAME' TUSSAUD'S EXHIBITIONS.—Arnong the por trait models of eminent men of all countries, we observed an admirable likeness of Eipartero, who riche holds again the destinies of Spain.

THE WAR. AUSTRIA AND RUSSIA. The Moniteur of this (Friday) morning publiehe , , a despatch from the Austrian Government de manding the evacuation of the principalities, with the reply of Russia. THE DANUBE. The Presse of Vienna, of yesterday, has the following : "General Prim has arrived at Orsova. The same ship brought several English and French officers and commissariat officers for the purchase of forage in Hungary. " The officers say that the Allies will first attack An apa. There are 36,000 Turks and French, but no Eng lish, in the Dobrudscha. " The Turks occupy Babadagh. The Turks will probably attack Tultscha—the French Galatz." BELGRADE, August 9.—The Prince of Servid has imposed a new tax of one ducat per taxpayer as an extraordinary levy—half to be paid at once, and half in October. Despite orders front the Porte, military excesses in the interior still continue. • THE BALTIC. NYBORG, August 9.—The French sailing line-of battle ship Donanwerth, 90, Captain Darigot, and the French steam. corvette Laplace, Captain Labo neau, passed the Great Belt to-day. Both are new ships, and carry troops and stores. The following despatch is dated Stockholm, Aug. 5 :—" In consequence of General Baraguay d'Hil- Hers' interview with the King, orders have been sent to Carlscrona not to dismantle the fleet, which remains ready for active service." DEATH OF THE KING OF SAXONY. A telegraphic despatch received in Paris yester day from Munich conveys the melancholy intelli gence that the carriage of the King of Saxony was overturned at Brenbuchel, situated between Munich and Dresden, and that his Majesty was killed by a kick from One of the horses. His Majesty Frederick Augustus IV. was born on the 18th of May, 1797. A serious insur rection having brnken out at Dresden, in Septem ber, 1830, against the authority of his uncle An thou; the reigning Monarch, Prince Frederic Augustus was named co-regent on the 13th of that month, and succeeded to the .throne on the 6th of June, 1836, his father, Duke MAximilian, having waived his right thereto. His Majesty having left no issue, the crown descends to his brother, John Nepomuc Marie Joseph, born on the 12th of Decent ber, 1801. THE WAR IN ASIA. A letter from Trebizund, published in the Mont. teur, says : "All the Bashi-Bazouks have been placed under the command of Ismail Pasha (General Kmetty), who is charged with the organisation and improvement of these irregular troops. " /his measure has certainly been one of the best inspi rations of the General-in-Chief, Although entirely sepa rated from the rest of the army, Ismail Pasha has so power fully contributed to the moral elevation of the soldier by constantly obtaining the advantage in the numerous en gagements which he has undertaken with his irregular troops against the Russian Cossacks ;' and, although these small engagements with outposts, are apparently insignifi cant, they nevertheless produce an excellent effect upon the spirit of the army. Besides this, Ismail Pasha has Com pletely succeeded in r. pressing the turbulence and pillage to which the Bashi-Bazouks were too much addicted. '"The ascendancy which Ismail Pasha has been able to acquire over his troops forms a very remarkable fact. This general has made himself at once feared and re spected. These irregular troops have now the most un limited confidence. in the capacity of their chief. They blindly obey him, are guided by him, and are always read to expose themselves to the greatest dangers with the most admirable courage and intrepidity. Recently, a strong division of Cosss eke, supported by cavalry and two pieces of cannon, after having passed Arpa-Tchai, came to forage on the Turkish territory near the left bank of the Kars-Tchai. Ismail Pasha WAS at the time upon the right bank of that river with 200 of his irregulars. It was impossible for him to attack the Cossacks with this handful of meu ; but, upon an intima tion which he contrived. to send immediately to Hadji Deuivah, who was encamped about a league and a half from the Kars-Tchai, that chief instantly came up with 1,50 D Bashi-Bazouks. " Ismail Pasha then crossed the Kars-Tchai and att icked the enemy with such impetuosity that ho instantly took to flight in spite of the great inferiority of numbers. The 3ashi-Bazouks pursued the Russians, lance in hand, and the latter were obliged to use their guns toprotect their retreat.' THE CZAR DISHEARTENED. A correspondent of the Vienna Wanderer, writ ing from Bucharest, the 27th July, says : " On the 24th General Adlerberg brought the order 'to evacuate Wallachia by the sth of August;' nothing, however, was said of Mol davia. The Czar was so disheartened by the in telligence from the prince that he left St. Peters burg, it is said, for three days, and admitted no one to his presence. It is reported that on re ceiving the intelligence, he sorrowfully exclaimed I can understand the defeat at Silistria, but to be forced, with so great a loss, by a horde of wild, half-naked Turks, from positions which have been occupied and fortified for a year—that these Turks should first sustain an engagement, then storm the islands fortified by us, an I, lastly, have paid in blood for every inch of ground gained on the left bank of the Danube— a ll t hi s I cannot understand.' Four or five days later, the Emperor sent by General Adlerberg the order for the evacua tion of Wallachia." The Moniteur Algerien, of the sth, publishes an order of the day from General Randon, announcing that the Emperor i had d ec id e d on mak i ng up from his privypurse the pe ns i on o f every soldier who had lost a limb in the expedition of Djurjura to the extent of 400 f. a year. ARREST OF Pill RTES IN THE MEDI TERRANEA.N. A letter from Samos, of the 25th ult., in the lenpar tiai of Smyrna, In conseque nce o f th e energetic adopted by the local auth or iti es m y e r as m u t, re s s ays" : and by the French and English vessels of war, eight pirates have been arrested in the island, and amongst them the th ree brothers Condouri, whose bad renown in these latitudes dates from some years back. After that capture, a certain Yauni Macri came forward of his own accord to surrender to the local authorities, confessing that he had been the head of the band who had assassinated the crew of the English schooner the Harriett. This individual was put on board the English frigate the Leander, and taken to Syra to be there confronted with other pirates who had been arrested there. On the 15th, the Chaptal, French screw-steamer, coming from Syra, brought back the said Macri, proved to have. committed 19 murders, and who still imagines that he will obtain his pardon in consequence of his confession and f orce d su b m i ss i on . The Chaptal again put out to sea on the 21st to seek for the famous Moro, 'who, with a band of 2 8 pirates, was infesting th e waters between Amorgos and Stanchio, whilst an o th er pirate named Ni coc i ara wen t t o j o i n him in another vessel with 22 men. Other letters from Samos of the same date announce that the Chaptal returned on the evening of th'e 24th, after having captured 27 persons, who were forwarded to Constantinopl e b y an Ottoman steamer." THE BRITISH EXPEDITION. MONASTIR, July 26.—The change made by the Light Division from Devno to this place has been attended by some benefit, but the cholera still con tinues to prevail. They started on Tuesday, and, after a hot march, arrived in the neighbourhood of this village. Several of the men were taken ill on the w a y. Th e d i sease see ms to have lost some of its or i g i nal virulence, an d t o be less fatal in its attacks th an w h en i t fi rs t b r oke out. This, I be lieve, is a general rule. We are expecting an ar rival of sc i ent ifi c or at least good bakers, every day, t o improveour bread, and the " Army and Navy" w ill ta k e up 30 o f them from Constanti nople. Thi s i s not b e f ore they were wanted, and badly wanted, too. The remoter causes of the epidemic which rages at Varna and in the camp s may b e b eyon d our ken, but assur e dl y there is no difficulty in discovering . the im mediate physical predisposing conditions of its existence, if medical authority is of any value. In the first place, the men were left too long in the same encampments. It is the practice of the French as a general rule to change their ground once every ten days, even in healthier climates. They seem to have paid the penalty on this occasion of their breach of a rule recommended by experiewe and found e d on common sense. Our men, in s pit e of all o r d ers t o t h e con t rar y, persisted in th row i ng offal, b ea d s an d en t ra il s o f f o wls, bones, an d s ki ns into th e b us h an d b rus h woo d a r o u nd th e camps. In the broiling sun all these various animal mat term speedily nein° putrescent, awl myriads of flies .over around them, and buzz about into the . tents, laden with cargoes of corruption. Although soldiersare constantly employed carrying away offal End clearing the ground occupied by horses and :utiles, nothing can prevent acts of carlessness and %tastiness on the part of the men. Now at :kladyn the smell from the thickets in the rear of the camp when the Light Division left it was tlmost intolerable. The Guards and Hi g hl an d er s are, however, marched up to within a comparatively .port distance of this abandoned camp, and 'pitch : - ,heir tents at a distance which subjects theni, I should think, to the influence 'of its tainted atmosphere. - And where do the Light Divi;• :ion go to ? They march to Devno, which is said o bear a proverbial name for its unhealthiness, and they remain in a spot which I understand the prin cipal medical officer of the army, Dr. Hall, autho ritatively condemned after his recent inspection of it. .The condition of the atmosphere of the camps . outside Varna must be worst of all, from the long continued encampment of troops there, and from i the larger masses of troops, Turkish, Egyptian, Bashi-Bazouk, English, and French, congregated there. Sir D. Evans's division seems to have been placed in the most healthy and favourable spot, and I believe the returns from the various divisions will be found to support the view taken of the comparative healthiness of the sites of the various camps. Another cause of the ill ness which prevails may be the long morning drills and lengthened exposure to the rays of a broiling sun at a time when the men are little able to resist its effects, owing to insufficient meals. Oftentimes they have gone out to a four hours' drill without anything more substantial to work upon than a cup of coffee. Sometimes they have not had even that. Why should the officers escape almost with impunity ? The fact of the men sleeping 15 in a single tent, while the officers have tents to them selves, or a tent between two, has no doubt some thing to do with this difference ; but the better feeding of the officers has, I suspect, a far greater influence. The pork ration which is sometimes issued is decidedly unwholesome. Mr. Warren was seized with illness after a meal of pork, and several persons have complained that they are never well after it.. Perhaps Mahomet was a better physiolo gist than we think, and found that swine flesh in these cliniates is essentially unwholesome. It cer tainly should be washed down with something stronger than lukewarm river water. Our gene rals, . who were so: anxious to get their rden into good working order, to make them hardy, to render them temperate, to wean them from the luxuries of the malt-tub, will feel some what astonished if they should find—which Ood. forbid ! that this splendid army -is withered by sickness and decimated by a plague which might have been prevented, humanly speak ing, if the precautions which were pointed out and insisted on had been taken. Whatever else caused the cholera, neither porter nor spirits had anything to do with it. The wine sold in the canteens of the regiments was not so cheapas to be commonly drunk in quantities by the men, nor so bad as to be delete rious. / It was examined again and again by the doctors, at the command of the authorities, when they found diarrkei increasing, and the doctors shook their heads and talked about increase of ra tions and better supplies of rice, &c., as being more germane to the matter. Apricots, which the peo ple here eat in enormouaquantities long ere they rrpen, were sold without let or hindrance to the men in the camps, nor 4,vere juicy pumpkins and crisp ' cucumbers wanting. The Turks and Greeks eat them abundantly, and yet Varna is not a place wheTe cholera is at all common—on the contrary, it is generally.very healthy, and is not at all sub ject to the attacks of this terrible pestilence. In compliances with the request of our authorities the Turks have ordered all offal to be buried with . quick lime. RUSSIAN NEWS FROM THE WHITE SEA. The Invalide Russe says :—On the 6th (18th) of July, between three and four o'clock on the after noon, two of the enemy's steamers, one of which was the Miranda, having approached the monas tery of Solovetsky, began to fire balls and shells at it. Between four and five o'clock the cannonade ceased, and the bearer of a flag of truce presented himself before the monastery to demand its uncon ditional surrender, as well as that of the garrison. The superior of the monastery, the Aphimandrite Alexander, refused to obey this summons of the enemy, and the next day, at eight o'clock, the steamers recommenced the bombardment, which they continued incessantly until five o'clock in the afternoon. In spite of this bombardment of nine hours, nobody was either killed or wounded in the interior of the monastery • the only injury was, that th e wooden inn situated without the walls was pierced with several shot. As to the edifice situated in the interior of the ancient walls of the monastery , they did not sustain any injury. After having ceased. their fire the steamers weighed anchor and sailed for the cape in the Bay of Ouega, Where they 'arrived on the Bth (20th) of July, near the village of Liamitskaia, and on the 9th the crew landed on the island of Kyi (15 versts from Onega),. set fire to the Custom-house and several adjacent buildings, and entered the monas tery, whence they carried away a bronze bell, which they took on board the Miranda, as well as several articles which they found at the Custom house. SPAIN. The Tribuno makes out a small account of 71 millions of reals against the Queen Christina, on the three following heads alone. It says : "Dona Maria Christina de Borbon is debtor to the State—Twenty-four millions, which she received unlaw fully as Reina • Clobernaclora, from 1831 to 1840, having married a second time shortly after the death of her first husband ; twelve millions, which were paid to her on her return from France for the three years which she passed 00 of the country ; and thirty-five millions, the difference between the money of. Spain and America, for the ten ye:trs that she has drawn her pension on the treasury of Cuba; making a total of seventy-one millions of reals." A letter of the 6th says :—The fruitless efforts of the Government .to 'convey Queen Christina and her. family away from Madrid, while they have shown weakness on the part of the. former, have greatly irritated the people in arms here, who now amount to upwards of 10,000 men. It seems to have been forgotten by the constituted powers, for a moment, that we are in a state of revolution, ano that the' Queen-Mother is the chief object against which the long-pent-up popular in ligna tion is directed. Thus bricklayers and masons have been employed for days past in bricking up the lower windows of her palace, on the sides towards the Calle de las Rajas and Plaza, de los Ministerios, as if it were a question of saving the furniture left there from further depredation, while the question really at stake is one of life and death, of dynasty or no dynasty. We are threat ened with a renewal of popular disturbances ; and the night before last a body of Bucetas men, who are quartered in the barrack of San Mateo, in the north of Madrid, came out, to the number of 150, to the Home-office, in the Puerto del Sol, where the junta sit, uttering various revolutionary cries, and frightening the people in the streets, who ran off in all directions. The fact is, that the people of Madrid, who have now got arms in their hands—which is the most serious part of the mat ter—we determined that Queen Christina shall not escape from them without disgorging, what she has been robbing, in their estimation, for so many years ; and so strong is this feeling that the Go vernment have been obliged to , yield to it. The Nacion of this morning announce' s this fact. It says : " Last night, a commission from all the districts of Ma drid presented itself to the Junta of Safety, Soliciting its concourse, in order to press on her Majesty's Government the adoption of a measure, which we ourselves have had the satisfaction to be the first to call for, as an indispensable act of high political morality, as a just and solemn repara tion which the country demands in the name of its dignity and its decorum, The representatives of that people, vic tims till now of the most repugnant tyranny —of that gene rous and great people —came last night to corroborate our words, expressing to the junta the necessity that Donna Maria Christina, ex-tutoress of her Majesty, should not leave Spain without first having been examined. (re sidenciada) by the Cortes. The Junta of Safety una nimously adopted this idea, and some of its members, in union with the delegates of the districts, went to see the Duke de la Victoria, in order to express to him their desires—the desire of the country. The President of the Council of Ministers received them with thegreatest benevo lence, assuring them that the Cabinet should meet imme diately, in order to deliberate on so grave and important a subject, and that its determination should be communi cated to them. At one in the morning they were informed that the will of the people of Madrid was already satisfied, and that the Duchess of Riansares should not leave the Court, neither by day nor by night, nor by stealth." This is perhaps the•best resolution that could be taken under the circumstances, though the presence of the Queen -Mother here must be very embar rassing to the Government. It must be remembered that we have very few troops here, no police, and 10,000 armed people flushed with their recent vic tory, about 1,000 of whom, chiefly from the Barrios Bajos, are in the neighbourhood watching in all directions to intercept Queen Christina if she at tempts to leave. A crowd of persons, mostly armed, assembled last night in the vicinity of the Calle de las Huertas, round a house where it was thought that the Count of San Luis was concealed ; it was entered at last, and searched throughout, but he was not found. It is supposed he is in the palace. The junta have contrived to disarm the people of the Cuartel de San Mateo. A deputation went there, stating that there was a general order to send all the arms to the barrack of San Francisco, and two eartloa.ds were taken there. I , is probaile that Constituent Cortes will be convoked under the electoral law of the constitu tion of 1837, which does not go near the length of universal suffrage, but is much more liberal than the one in force of late years. The Clamor Publico declares that it will he satisfied with this limitation of the suffrage for the present. The Nacion urges the Government to decree a new electoral law. The Madrid journals of the sth lave arrived in due course. A royal decree suppresses the " Di rector-General of Military Administration," and re- establi, , hes the old cominissariat administration. It announces some dismissals and new appoint ments of high functionaries in the department of Finance. The Espana says that in addition to the diplomatic nominations already announced, it is intended to appoint M. Antonio Gon zalez Minister at London, M. Rios Rosas at Lisbon, and General Infante at Rome. The Duke de la Victoria, after stopping at the palace till a late hour in the night of the 3d, was taken ill, and had to be bled; but he had entirely recovered. The Duke. de Soto Mayor has been ap pointed Major-domo of the Palace. The new Mi nister of Public Works, M. Lugan, and the new Minister of the Interior, M. Santa Ortiz, bad ar rived. General Blaser and General Vista Hermosa had arrived at Gibraltar. General Manuel de la Concha was concentrating at Barcelona all the troops disseminated in Catalonia, and bad already collected twenty-two battalions. FR A.NCE. It is stated that accounts reached Paris yester day announding that the expeditionary troops have landed in Perekop, the isthmus which joins the Crimea to the main land. The probability of such an event was spoken of some days ago as the best means of intercepting the communications of the Russians with the Crimea.

ROYAL BOTANICAL GARDENS, REGENT'S-PARE.—Yes• terday the fifteenth annual meeting of the above society was held in the society's garden's, Regent's-park ; Col. Hammer, K.H., in the chair. The council's report spoke most favourably of the success of the society dur ing the past year, including 1853 and the past months of 1854. The number of fellows elected during the year hail been 161, which was nine over the fellows elected during the preceding year. The total number of visi tors, including extra and promenade days, was 149,256. Great alterations had taken place in the arrangements of the gardens, a capacious marquee having been erected, under which the whole of the annual show could be in spected at one view, without the trouble of going from tent to tent ; while an extensive refreshment saloon had been built in place of the old one, which was found too small to give accommodation to the vast number of visi tors who daily thronged the grounds. In conclusion the council congnitulated the fellows on the great profits de rived from the gardens, which had enabled them to pro cure a great reduction in the loan and redemption fund. The treasurer's accounts showed the receipts, includ ing general subscriptions and a balance in hand of 4,6581. is. 4d., to be 15,2001. 16s. 10d., while the payments figured 11,4071. 19s. 7d., exclusive of a sum of 2 ; 015/. 16s.

Bentley seconded, the adoption of the council's and treasurer's reports, which was unanimously carried ; after ss hich the secretary's and the curator's reports were read, which spoke also most satisfactorily of the pro ceedings ceedings of the society.

THE NEW BEER Aor.—The new act for regulating the sale of beer and other liquors on the Lord's Day will 33!ne into force on Sunday next. It is enacted that it shall not be lawful for any licensed victualler or person licensed to sell beer by retail, to be drunk on the pre mises or net to he drunk on the premises, or any person licensed or authorised to sell any fermented or distilled liquors, or any person who, by reason of the freedom of the mystery or craft of vintner of the City of London, or of any right or privilege shall claim to he entitled to sell wine by retell, to be drunk or censumed on the-premises, in any part of England or Wales, to open or to keep open his house for the sale of or to sell beer, or wine, or spirits, or any other' fermented or distilled liquor, be tween half-past two o'clock and six o'clock, or after ten o'clock in the afternoon on Sunday, or on Christmas Day, or Good Friday, or any day appointed for a public fast or thanksgiving, or before four o'clock in the morn ing of the day following, except as refreshments to a bond fide traveller, or a lodger therein. NOTTINGHAM STATE OF TRADE.—With June, specula ' tive lace business of all kinds invariably expires ; and during July buyers are cautiously studying the demands of the season and fashion and transacting accordingly ; in the present month even these limited transactions ex perience a cessation, and the various houses in the trade are usually engaged in sorting up their goods, with the expectation of doing very little business before Septem ber. The present season has been, and continues to be, quite in accordance with these remarks. In hosiery, business has on the whole experienced this week a perceptible depression, in the hand-to-mouth trade which has been going on. ' Still the manufacturers feel it impossible to complain, there being, upon the whole, enough doing to keep them busy. There are numbers of foreign purchasers about; and the retrospect of the senson is found to be a far more agreeable one than its prospects once portended. With regard to the comparative activity of the different branches ; although the glove trade continues to be much depressed, the Sutton branch is in good employment and the hands disinclined to stand any reduction—one house attempt ing it having been met with a strike immediately. —Not tinghamshire Guardian. OPENING OF THE GALWAY HERRING FISHERY.—The Galway Packet says :—" On Wednesday evening, for the first time this season, the hardy fishermeh of the Claddagh commenced to fish for herrings in the Bay of Galway, and were fortunate enough to be rewarded with a most abundant take, several of the boats having got full cargoes, to the value of from 151. to 20/."

The prin cesses also told of how " the King used to play tricks on Kenyon, sending the despatch box to him at a quarter past seven, when he knew Kenyon was snug in bed ; being accustomed to go to bed at that hour, to save can dle-light."—/Ifoore's Diary. SINGULAR FACT.—Sorge time since some grains cf wheat, which had been taken frcm an old Egyptian sar cophagus at Cairo, were given to a member of the Agri cultural Society of Compeigne, by whom they were sown, and the most surprising result has occurred. The stems which have risen from this seed are as large as a reed, the leaves are rather mote than an inch in breadth, and the ears have each 100 grains cf very , ldr.cfn size, so that sr.ver,tl of the ,ri,fiu.,l Pt.e!i have mul tiplied 2000-fold.
