AN UNFOUNDED REPORT re lative to ROSSI 4. —The report is not true, however generally circu lated, that E. MOSES and SON have had very extensive orders E. from.

IA) NV address from the Author's reit int%eilt• 1570091P141441 THE REFORM BILL. The Reform Bill has been printed. It begins with totally disfranchising the 19 boroughs in schedule A, now returning 29 members— viz., Ando ver, Arundel, Ashburton, Caine, Dartmouth, Evesham, Harwich, Horn ton, Knal:esborough, Lymo Regis, Marlborough, Midhuret,,Northallerton, Reigate, Rich mond,'Thetford, Totnes, Wells, 'Wilton. These boroughs are disfranchised because they have either less than 300 electors or less than 5,000 inhabitants ; and their dis franchisement will leave Abincr ' don the smallest consti tuencies in England, the electors there being in number 312. The bill next provides that the following 33 boroughs (in Schedule B), now returning two members each, shall hereafter return hut one—viz., Bodmin, Bridgnorth, Bridport, Buckingham, Chichester, Chippenham, Ciren cester, Cockermouth, Devizes, Dorchester, Guildford, Hertford, Huntingdon, Leominster, Lewes, Ludlow, Lymington, Lich field, Maldon, Maiton; Marlow (Great), Newport (Isle of Wight), Peterborough, Poole, Ripon, Stamford, Tainworth, Tavistock, Tewkesbury, Tiverton, Weymouth, Windsor, Wycombe" (Chipping). These boroughs are thus dealt with because they have either •.. . _ lea JS than 500 electors or less than 10,000 Inhabitants. Of the 62 seats thus obtained, together with four for Sudbury and St. Alban's, previously disfranchised, mak ing all 66, the English R e f orm Bill procee d s t o di s p ose of 63, the number which Lord J. Russell'allots to Eng land. The following 37 counties, or divisions of counties, having more than 100,000 inhabitants, exclusive of the population of the represent e d borough.:, are in future to return three members instead of two, viz. :—Bedford shire, West Glocestershire, Middlesex, Monmouthshire, North Salop, North Hants, East Surrey, East Sussex, North WarwickE hire, East Worcestershire, East York shire, North Yorkshire, Glainorganshire, and both divi sions of the following counties- ; - y; ; Cheat:lire, Corn wall, Derbyshire,-Devon, Durham': Esse:.34lient, Lin colnshire, Norfolk, Staffordshire, Sihnerset, Suffolk. Lancashire is to be formed into three divisions—the northern, comprising the hundreds of Lonsdale, Amoun derness, and Blackburn, the election to be held at Lan caster; the south western division, comprising the hun dreds of West Derby and Leyland, the election to be held at Wigan • and the south-eastern, consisting of the hundred of Salford, the election to be held at Bury. The West Riding of Yorkshire is to te formed into two divisions—the northern, comprising the wapentakes of Staincliffe and Ewcross, Clare, Skyrack, and Morley, the election to be held at Leeds ; and the southern, comprising the wapentakes of Barkiton Ash, Osgold cross, Straffort'n, and Tickhill, Staincross, and Agbrigg, the election to Be held at Pontefract. Each of these divisions of Lancashire and Yorkshire is to return three members, so that Lancashire will return nine instead of four, and the West Riding six instead of two. Having thus given 46 new members to the counties, the bill proceeds to assign 17 to the ',owns. The (new) borough of Chelsea, consisting of the parishes of Chel sea and Kensington, is to return two members ; the University of London, one ; the Inns of Court (the Inner Temple, the Middle Temple, Lincoln's-inn, and Gray's-inn), jointly, two ; the (new) boroughs of Birk enhead, Burnley, and Stalybridge, one each ; Salford, two instead of one ; and the following eight boroughs three instead of two- —Birmingham, Bristol, Bradford (Yorkshire), Leeds, Liverpool, Manchester, Sheffield, and Wolverhampton. The largest unrepresented towns in England will then be Gravesend, with a population of 16,633 ; Leamington, 15,692 ; St. Helen's (Lancashire), 14,866 ; Barnsley, 13,437; Keighley, 13,050. The bill proceeds to provide that at every future con tested election where three members are to be returned, no voter shall vote for more than two candidates, or in London for more than three. The old constituencies affected by this clause are those of London, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Cambridgeshire, Dorsetshire, Here fordshire, Hertfordshire, and Oxfordshire. Every male person of full age, entitled to any yearly sum of not less than 1001., payable in fixed portions not less than quarterly payments, as salary or wages, or superannuation allowance ; or beneficially entitled to a yearly income of not less than 101. from Government, East India, or Bank Stock, including Government life annuities ; or charged to the assessed taxes, or income tax, "or to any duty payable in respect of any annual certificate or license, or to all or any of the said duties," not less than 40s. ayear; or a vraduate of any university , in the United Kingdom ; or being a depositor in a sav ings bank in the county, borough, or place where he shall reside, to the amount of not less than 501., is to be en titled to a vote for the county or bOrough (as the case may be) in which he shall reside, but he is not to be registered in any year unless he shall have so resided for 12 calendar months next previous to the last day of July in such year ; and no person is to be registered in re spect of income or liability to tax unless he shall have been in receipt of the income for 12 calendar months next previous to the last day of July in such year, or charged to a year's duty within such 12 months ; ana no savings bank depositor is to be so registered unless he shall have had a 501. depoSit in inch bank for three years next previous to the last-day ofJuly in such year. No person having two or more residences is to be regis tered under this enactment for more than one place ; and no person is-to vote in respect of income tax which he is entitled to be reimbursed, as a tenant, trustee, or otherwise. Several sections are taken up with the provisions for reducing the occupancy qualification. In the counties a vote is given to the occupier of any building, without or with land occupied under the same landlord, of the clear yearly value of not less than I n/. provided he has occupied those or other premises iu the county or divi sion for 12 calendar months next previous to the last day of July in the year of registration, and been rated to the poor-rate during that time, and has resided within the county or division for the last six of the 12 months ; but the occupation of any building (other than the occupier's dwelling) jointly with land is not to con for a right to vote in county or lorough, unless such building be of 5/. clear annual value. The right of voting in boroughs is extended to inhabitant house holders within the borough, or seven miles thereof, who on the last day of July shall have occupied for the for mer part of that year and the whsle of the two preced fog years a house, warehouse, countinghouse, or shop (not necessarily the same premises during the whole period), in respect he shall have been rated for that time to the relief of the poor on a yearly value exceeding 61. The old rate-paying clauses are repealed. Freemen hereafter admitted are not to have votes as such, though admitted in respect of birth or servitude. The constituency of the Inns of Court is to comprise all barristers ; of the University of London all who have its de g ree of M.A., 8.A., LL.D., M•, .D or KB., and every B.A. in such university of three years' standing. The returning-officers for the new boroughs are to be appointed by the sheriff of the county ; for the Inns of Court the treasurer of the Inner Temple is to be return ing-officer ; for the University of London, the Vice- Chancellor. The polling of the University and Inns of Court may continue for three days. County voters upon whom a right is conferred by this act with residence as a condition of the qualification are not to vote out of their own polling districts. The requisite certificates of title to property are to be given at the Bank, East India House, and savings-banks on request ; and so in like manner by the collector of taxes. The register of voters is to be final ; but an election committee may inquire into alleged. incapacity arising subsequently to the time when the name of the voter might have been objected to.

Yesterday Sir Benjamin Hall and Lord Dudley Stuart with deputations from the boards of guardians and d: rectors of the parishes of Marylebone and St. Pancras, had an interview with Mr. M. T. Baines, the president, and other members of the Poor Law Board, with a view to make certain representations in reference to the pro posed new law of settlement and Poor Law Removal Bill. Mr. Whitmore, churchwarden of. Marylebone, said, he believed that the bill would seriously affect the interests of that parish and greatly increase the poor rates. He then submitted to the board certain resolutions unani mously passed at a meeting of the vestry and guardians of the parish, in which an opinion was expressed that the bill would have injurious effects. Several gentlemen discussed the proposed provisions of the bill with Mr. Baines, who expressed a desire to give due consideration to any suggestions calculated to improve it. After several gentlemen had given their opinions upon the subject, Mr. Baines said, that he was happy to meet the deputa tions, and thanked the gentlemen present for the informa tion contained in their observations. It was his wish that the object of his bill should be' clearly understood. What he desired was to put an end to compulsory re moval, which was unjust and oppressive to the poor man. The effect of the law, as it now stood, and which it was his wish to remedy, was that if a man through unforeseen circumstance fell into distress, for instance : , either in Marylebone or St. Pancras, instead of receiv ing relief from either of those parishes, the authorities had the power to send the poor man, and perhaps a wife and family, into Northumberland, or any other distant part, merely because his father some years before had a settlement there. In like manner might a poor man be sent up from Cornwall, to one of the metropo lita'n parishes. This act was unjust, impolitic, and cruel, and one which the Legislature were bound to put an end to. The present law of removal did not affect vagrants, but was calculated to oppress the industrious classes who might fall into misfortune. Again, there could be no doubt that at present the grossest frauds were practised in some parishes by unscrupulous officers to get rid of the poor when the five years' residence was about to expire. Mr. Baines repeated that he was de termined to do all in his power to get rid of the present system of compulsory removal. Any suggestions in committee which the noble lord or the hon. baronet might make he should be grateful for. He would also be glad to receive, in writing, the suggestions of any gentlemen present. FOREIGN BOOKS.—INTERNATIONAL COPYRIGHT. —The Lords Commissioners of her Majesty's Treasury have caused to be transmitted to the Commissioners of Cus toms for their infol•mation and guidance, and of their officers at the several ports throughout the United King dom, the copy of a despatch from Colonel Hodges, her Majesty's Charge d'Affaires at Hamburgh, which they have received from the Foreign Office, enclosing speci mens of the stamps to be used at that city, under article 11 of the convention for the reciprocal protection of COPY right with thin country. MEDICAL DEPARTMENT OF THE ARMY. We have the satisfaction of informing the public that the appeal addressed to the country through our columns a few days since, on a subject of extreme interest, has been responded to by the authorities concerned with all the promptitude desirable. Mr. Guthrie, the dis tinguished surgeon, in contributing to the service of the nation the fruits cf his great experience during the last war, observed that, if the medical department of the army were not better organized on the present than on former occasions, our soldiers would suffer unnecessary hardships from the want of good attendance. He offered, at the same time, as the reader will remember, to furnish his own suggestions for the improvements 1 required, but reserved his further communications until the feeling of the coun tr y or the - Government could be ascertained. It is now our agreeable duty to announce that the promised continua,tion of la =correspondence will not appear, and for the simple reason that it would !be superfluous. The authorities acted. without: :delay once more asserted, at the close of his speech, that "the greatest possible care had been taken to make every provision for the contingencies alluded t o in the debate. Nor 'was this solicitude either mistimed upon the hints which w ere furn ished, and - the conclusions of Mr. Guthrie's exper ience wil l be turned to immediate advantage by those di rectl y ch arged with_ the control of such affairs. Our soldie rs wil l no longer be permitted to want for any of tho se aid s which the resources of science can supply, nor will the m e di ca l s t a ff o f th e Mediterranean expeditio n be i n any respect less perfectly organized than its other de p ar tments. Though these particula r s di d not directly transpire in the House of Commons on Wednesday, th e di scuss i on which then took place su ffic iently evinced the feeling with which the subject wa s r egarded. In answer to the hopes expressed by Mr. Mines, that "prope r medi c al officers were appointed , and all scientific means em ployed to secure protectio n for our army," Lord Pal merston at once replied , t h at the point was one which, "above all things, attra ct ed the attention of her Ma jesty's Government?' ; that " every precautio n h a d b een adopted to guard the troops from those injuries and inconveniences which might arise frbni the casualties of climate or war," and that tho3e "friends and relations whom they let behind might he satisfied that no thi ng would be omitted which it . was possible to do to provide for their health and comfort while engaged on the.--expe dition on which they had been sent." It seem e d, i n d ee d, as if his lordship could hardly repeat these assuranci;s, emphatically enough for his own satisfaction, for he or superfluous, for few Ministerial declarations could at such a moment be more gratifying to the publi c . The policy, as was well remarked in the di scuss ion, • is not only in a moral cease incumbent upon us, but is L also directly conducive to the economical interests of the • State. Despotic or barbarous Governments can impress their subjects into their service, drive them to the geld of battle, sacrifice their lives without scruple, and dis card their claims without consideration when the emer gency is past. They can do this without check from popular resistance, but even they can do it only at the cost of their own military power. The largest armies, as our great Duke once said, are but multiples of the individual soldier : and, if the soldier is ill-cared for and enfeebled, the efficiency of the whole force suffers in pro portion. Even in the best of armies the force actually com petent at any moment to take the field exhibits a consider able reduction from its nominal strength ' • and, when the commissariat or hospital service is defective or worthless, the effects upon the ranks are terrible. It has been stated that the Russian force in the Princi- palities alone has lost, by casualties of this de scription, a greater number of men than we are now sending forth to the East, and it is certain than 30 or 40 per cent. at the least may always be deducted from the nominal force of the Czar's battalions. We, on the other hand, by our sedulous attention to the wants and casualties of troops in the field, can always bring into action a large percentage of fighting men ; so that, as Lord Palmerston truly observed, the general efficiency of a British contingent bears far more than the ordinary proportion to the numbers of the troops employed, As this assertion, too, must necessarily have referred to past experience, we may judge of the improvement to be still anticipated now that Mr. Guthrie's suggestions have been allowed their due weight. It must, we think, be extremely satisfactory to our correspondent to reflect upon the reception which his representations have this time experienced. More than once, as he informed the public, have his recommenda tions, though backed by all the weight of his professional renown, and all tke acquiescence of distinguished sol diers, been swamped and nullified by the official opposi tion of small subordinates. On this occasion, however, he is scarcely permitted to finish his appeal before his ad vice is followed, and, as far as the suggestions of so tried a practitioner can insure efficiency, the medical depart ment of our army will be put upon an unexceptionable footing. Many things have advanced since the days of the Peninsular war, but the human frame and its require. ments remain the same, and what Mr. Guthrie discerned to be wanting in times past will, we may safely assure ourselves, prove desirable still. It would not be just to quit this subject without a word of acknowledgment to the Minister who so promptly acted on useful information when proceeding from quarters entitled to respect. There have been statesmen—and the class is by no means extinct—who would consider it below the• presumed omniscience of office to accept a hint from any uncovenanted adviser. The present Secretary of War, however, with true liber ality and wisdom, addressed himself unhesitatingly to the representations of a memorialist who, though for saking the convenience of a private interview for the more d ecisive ‘ expedient of a public appeal, could plead a good motive for interference, and incontestible claims to be heard. The result of this exemplary policy is that all parties are pleased. Government has not only done its duty by economy, but has dune it so cheerfully and expeditiously as to enhance the merit of the act ; the troops now embarking for the scene of war will receive that attention to their wants which their services have earned, and the country at large is agreed upon a point which could not be lett in doubt without general and reasonable discontent. —Times. PUBLIC PROSEGUTORS. Mr. Phillimore's bill for the appointment of public pro socutors for conducting the prosecution of criminal offenders in England has been printed. The Lord Chancellor is to appoint for this purpose, in districts to be fixed by the Privy Council, barristers of ten years' standing, whose salary is not to exceed 1,5001. a-year, including travelling expenses. The salaries are to be paid out of the consoli dated fund. A public prosecutor is to be removable by the Lord Chancellor and the Lord Chief Justice for misconduct or unfittness. At the assizes, if necessary, the assistance of barristers of three years' standing may be pro cured as deputy public prosecutors. They are to be paid a sum not exceeding 10 guineas for any whole day, and less in proportion for any part of a day. The Lord Chan cellor may also appoint attorneys of seven years' standing to act as district agents (their salary is not yet fixed in the bill) for the purpose of performing thedutiesof an attorney for the prosecution, applying for warrants, conducting the examination of witnesses beforejustices, collecting evidence, preparing briefs, and the like; and policemen are to give information to the district agent as soon as they have rea sonable cause to believe that a felony or misdemeanour has been committed. The duties of the public prosecutor will be to consider the evidence when transmitted to him by the district agents ; advise whether the prosecution shall be proceeded with, and in what way, and conduct the prosecution at the trial. The Crown may appoint also a barrister of five years' standing for each county or sessional division of a county, or for any borough (four for Middlesex and Westminster) to act as assistant public prosecutor at quarter sessions ; the salary to be paid out of the consolidated fund, but not to exceed 3001. a year, including travelling expenses, and no such as sistant public prosecutor is to be revising barrister or hold other office under the Crown in the district. De puty-assistant public prosecutor s at the sessions may also be appointed, in case of need, the payment not to ex coed five guineas a-day. Justices may take the opinion of the public prosecutor if they think fit. Persons may present bills before grand juries as heretofore, and the act is not to extend to indictments for common assaults, libel, niusance, &c. The bill provides that when a prisoner has been committed, he may have subpoenas gratis to compel the attendance of his witnesses (other than to character), and the costs of such witnesses may be allowed by the judge at the trial. It is also provided that where a person is accused of giving to his master's horse more food than his master allowed him to give, it sh 41 not be a felony or misdemeanour, but the servant may be taken before a ma gistrate within a week, and the magistrate may order the loss to be deducted from the wages. It will be noticed that the provisions we have last described have no neces sary connexion with the general object of the bill, and, perhaps at a future day they may be less easily found in consequence of their being tacked on to a bill for appoint ing public prosecutors. BRIBERY PREVENTIO.V. Sir F. Kelly's bill for the regulation of the proceedings at the election of members of Parliament, and for the pre vention of bribery, corruption, intimidation, and undue influence at elections, as well as to diminish the expenses thereof, has been printed. The bill contains no less than 80 clauses, and its principal provisions are as follows :—lt provides first that barristers holding no appointment under the Crown shall be nominated by the judges of assize to conduct every election, such barrister not being recorder of the place he is appointed to, and ineligible to serve in Parliament for a period of 18 months subsequent to his appointment. Upon receiving the writ the election officer is to proceed forthwith to the place to which he is ap pointed. He is to be present at the nomination, and if a poll is demanded must reside there until after the election. His duties, which, however, are not to affect the powers of the returning officer, will be to receive the signed books, register, and lists of voters ; to summon over seers, chm chwardens, &c., if he should require them ; to hold sittings, and to administer oaths to the candi dates, who are ineligible upon refusal to take them within a prescribed time before taking their seats. He is also to receive from each candidate a sum of money not exceed ing 3001. for a county and 2001. for a borough ; and to further require from them a bond of 1,0001. for a county and 5001. for a borough, guaranteed by sufficient sureties. i The polling days are also to be fixed by the officer, to be not less than six nor more than ten days after the nomina tion for counties, nor less than four nor snore than eight days after for boroughs. He will also have to prepare election papers, by means of which it is proposed to take the votes in contested elections, and to superintend their distribution and collection. Every voter must make a declaration, and sign and deliver in his paper. Any justice of peace or clergyman and any guardian of the poor in his parish may take these declarations ; they are to certify the fact and forward the paper to the election officer. The salary of the election officer is to be fixed when the bill comes into committee. The election officer is to discharge all the bills and expenses of the candidates, and no elector is to •be paid for any services which he may render at the election. Each candidate must send in, within a month, an account of his personal expenses, under a penalty of 5001. for a false return ; and the election officer will also have power to inquire into oases of suborning, intimida tion, &e. CITY OF LONDON HOSPITAL FOR DISEASES OF THE CREST.—The sixth anniversary festival of this institution was held on Wednesday at the London Tavern ; Lord J. Russell in the chair. The cloth having been removed, at the conclusion of a most excellent dinner, the chair man proposed the usual loyal toasts. Of Prince Albert .he said, that he had come among us fourteen years since, inexperienced, and without any knowledge of our constitution, and that he had employed the interval in the promotion of arts and manufactures, and so as to deserve and obtain the approbation of the people. "The Army and Navy" were then proposed by his lordship, who expressed his belief that those two gallant services would now, when the time was come that they were wanting, emulate those who had gone before them in the same illustrious professions. Captain Gibbs, of the Royal Artillery, returned thanks. Lord John Russell then proposed the toast of the evening, and remarked that, however ordinary charities might be criticised, hospitals were not open to the common objections ap plying to the misapplication of funds benevolently con tributed, but yet used in a manner, perhaps, calculated to promote idleness and imposture. The medical offi cers of these institutions were too sagacious and too high minded to allow such misapplications. He especially re commended this hospital on account of the prevalence of the diseases with which it dealt, and on the ground that it would be and had been of the greatest use to the poor and labouring classes. Sir W. Clay proposed Lord John Russell's own health. Lord John Russell, in responding, disclaimed any intention of making a speech, but assured them of his readiness and his anxiety to give his services to his country, at all times, in any way, and in whatever manner might be useful and beneficial. He said that, though he had always been attached to one party, he had always felt that the ser vice of England and the honour of England were of no party, and he had endeavoured invariably to uphold her service and to maintain her honour. About 3,000/. was collected ; and a large legacy, not yet received, was announced. It was stated that since the first com mencement of the institution the number of patients re lieved has undergone a steady increase, and during the last year amounted to 4,199, being 573 mere than in the year 1852, and making a total of 18,910 persons ad mitted to the benefits of the institution since its open ing, in June, 1848. The average attendance of patients in each week in the year 1853 was 632. PREPARATIONS FOR WAR The steam-ships Orinoco, Ripon, and Manilla, with the battalions of Grenadier and Coldstream Guards on board, which embarked on Wednesday at Southampton docks, got under way immediately after daybreak yester day morning, and sailed for their destination. The wind, which on Wednesday night blew in heavy gusts from the south-west, had veered round to the north west, and these fine ships, therefore, started under most favourable auspices, with a fair wind down Channel. Much discomfort and inconvenience have been avoided by the ships having anchored in the river .for the night. The Ripon and Manilla will call at Gibraltar for coals on their way to Malta. but the Orinoco will proceed to that island direct, and, after landing the Coldstreams there, is under engagement to go t o Gib ra lt ar , t o t a k e on board the 44th Regiment, destined to form a portion of the auxiliary army. A company of Sappers and Miners and some of the Rifle Brigade are to embark on board the Himalaya to-day, and that steamer leaves this evening for Ply mouth. During the prevailing excitement on Wednesday the sum of GM 6s. was collected on board, for the benefit of the South Hants Infirmary, from persons who gladly paid an admission fee for the privilege of witnessing the departure of the troops from her decks. The new steam-ship Atrato, belonging to the West India Mail Company, will not be ready for sea so soon as was anticipated, and, we are informed, is not likely to arrive at Southampton from the Clyde before the 6th or 7th of March. Under these circumstances, the di rectors of the company have offered to place at the dis posal of the Government their steamer Magdalena (a sister ship to the Orinoco), expected to arrive from the West Indies about the 3d or 4th proximo. This ship might be prepared for the transport service sooner than the Atrato, and would be a most efficient and useful vessel for this particular duty. The Orinoco is an excel lent steam troop-ship, and her arrangements were yester day greatly approved. The Magdalena is of precisely similar size, and is arranged and fitted in the same manner. The Government have chartered. the Australasian Pacific Mail Company's new screw steamer Kangaroo for the conveyance of troops to the East. The Kan garoo is of 1,600 tons' burden, and will shortly be ready for sea. PLYMOUTH, FEB. 23. An order unprecedented in extent has been received this week at the Royal William victualling•yard ; 15,000 bags of biscuit (100 lb. in each bag), 100,000ib. of flour, and 100 bushels of peas are to be prepared forth with for transmission to Gosport. The steam-sloop Vulture, 6, Captain Glasse, was yesterday morning moored off the yard, and, commencing at 11 o'clock, 1,000 bags of biscuit were conveyed to her, by three boys, before 6 in the evening. She leaves this morning for the eastward. The Devon lighter is taking in provi sions, and, in all probability, the screw steam-ship Hogue, 60, Captain Ramsey, now in the Sound, will take a portion with her to-morrow, when she is ap pointed to sail for Portsmouth. Inquiries from head quarters have been made in reference to the store of horse-boxes. There were in the yard only 12, which, it is said, were sent on by the Vulture, and a further supply is to be made, if necessary, by private workmen. Eighty-two volunteers from the 42d and 70 from the 79th:Regiments arrived here,by the South Devon Railway, yesterday afternoon. The former were under command of Captain Taylor, and the latter in charge of Lieuten ants Graham and Jervois. The major part left Ports mouth on Monday morning, slept at Cerne Abbas, marched on Tuesday to Yeovil, and left on Wednesday by Bristol mail train. 24 of the 42d left Weymouth on Monday and joined their comrades at Cerne Abbas in the evening. On arrival at the station a considerable number of people cheered the gallant fellows, who, escorted by the band of the 93d, playing the " Highland Laddie," marched for the citadel. On passing through the town the drums and fifes struck up " Duncan M'Queen," and were followed by the bagpipes with a Gaelic air. The band played " Auld Lang Syne" as they entered the citadel, where they were received by a guard of honour and all the men off duty, whose lusty cheers were responded to most heartily by their new companions in arms. The volunteers were then drawn up in line and inspected by Colonel Ainslie and Cap tain Gordon, who with the entire regiment appeared highly gratified with this valuable addition to their force in the hour of need. Six others who are to come will make the total number of kilted volunteers 158. The eighteen who joined on Monday were from the 24th, 51st, 71st, and 88th depots at Chatham. The 93d has received orders to be ready on Monday for embarkation at the Royal William victualling-yard. To-morrow (Friday) the entire regiment will be publicly inspected on the Hoe by Major-General Sir Harry Smith, G.C.8., Commander of Forces in the western district, ROYAL SAPPERS AND MINERS. WOOLWICH, FED. 2;3. Orders have been received at bead-quarters here to augment this branch of the Ordnance service one ser• geant, one corporal, one second corporal, and 17 pri vates to each company, making a total of 440 men. The companies were out on the common yesterday, and went through the operations of a field-day, under Brigade-Major Walpole. The 7th company, under the command of Captain C. J. Gibb, Royal Engineers. and the 11th company, under the command of Captain F. C. Hassard, assembled at a quarter before nine o'clock a.m. to-day, in route marching order, on the parade of their barracks, and had with them their field equipment complete, for the inspection of Lieutenant-Colonel Victor, Royal Engi neers, who is to command the Royal Sappers and Miners ordered to the Mediterranean. The 11th company, under Captain Hassard, Royal Engineers, will leave Woolwich at an early hour to morrow, so as to arrive at the Waterloo station in Lon don, to proceed with the train which leaves that station for Southampton at 9 o'clock a.m., where they are to embark on board the Himalaya. The 7th company, under Captain Gibb, Royal En gineers, expect to embark early next week. The 10th company, under the command of Captain George Bent, Royal Engineers, have also been placed under orders to be in readiness to embark on the shortest notice. Tools of every description have been forwarded to-day from the Royal Arsenal for the use of the Royal Sappers and Miners, and the men appear in the highest spirits. LIVERPOOL FEB. 23. The Cunard paddle-wheel steamer Niagara took her departure hence for Malta to-day at 6.30 a.m., having on boar I the troops (the 28th Regiment) which were embarked yesterday. The new battery at the north end of the Huskisson dock will be completed in a short time, the fire of which will cross that of the Rock battery, on the Cheshire side of the Mersey, and range down the Rock and Victoria channels, so that vessels entering the river would be exposed to the fire of 30 guns of large calibre. SHIELDS, Feb. 23.—Russian shipmasters and owners who have vessels in the northern coal ports seem to be in the greatest alarm with regard to the prospect of a war with this country. Those who cannot get their vessels to sea are selling them. The Hoppet, a good looking Finnish bark, has been sold to Mr. Day and Mr. James Turpie, of this place, for 2,7001. Three or four other Russian vessels in the Tyne have been transferred to London owners within the past few days. The crew of the Hoppet (Fins) have determined to continue with the vessel, and will sail, under the British flag, in the American lumber trade. Lieutenant Blaokett, of the Cressy, is down here, beat ing up ~for volunteers. Notwithstanding the Present high rate of wages in the merchant service he has done exceedingly well. Last week, above 50 young men joined at Newcastle ; 28 have joined at Sunderland. The rendezvous at Shields has been opened but a couple of days, and there have been numerous appli cations from young men, of from 20 to 25 years, to have their names enrolled. Ten young men were sent off to the vessel yesterday. Captain Broadhead has enrolled above 100 young men at Newcastle for the Naval Coast-guard volunteers. A considerable number of young men have also volunteered into the same corps at Tyne►nouth. A communication from the Admiralty, which has been re ceived by Mr. James Mather, of South Shields, in answer to a letter written by that gentleman to the First Lord of the Admiralty, has given great satisfaction to the north country seamen. Sir James Graham intimates that the Government have no intention of adopting the ballot or to call out the press-gang, to make up the com plement of men for the fleet, but will trust entirely to volunteers to do so. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. PORTSMOUTH, FEB. 23. The Vulcan steam troopship, Commander Von Donop, is being prepared for the reception of the Rifles to-mor row. Their baggage is being stowed below to-day, and we expect the troops will embark about half-past 7in the morning. A detachment has already gone on board and taken charge of the baggage. Rear-Admiral Lord Adolphus Fitzclarence, G.C.8., accompanied by a distinguished ciricle of friends, visited this dockyard to-day to witness the progress making in equipping the ships here for the Baltic fleet. The Princess Royal, 91, Captain Lord Clarence Paget ; the Edinburgh, 58, Captain Hewlett ; and the Dragon, 6, Capyn Wilcox, will be paid wages at Spit head to-morrow. Contracts were taken to-day at the Royal Clarence Victualling Establishment, Gosport, Captain Superiny' teudent Courtenay, for 2,500 quarters of wheat, at ,an average of 86s. lid. ; 100 quarters are daily manufac tured into biscuit meal and flour, making 105 tons of navy biscuit per week. The mills and bakehouse are now being worked night and day to victual the fleet fit. ting out, PLYMOUTH, FEB. 23. The stores returned to the victualling•yard, damaged by salt water on board the Pique, 40, Captain Sir F. Nicolson, on Sunday last, are 129 bags of biscuit, 13 boxes of candles, 10 boxes of raisins, 7 chests of tea, 21i hogigioads of chocolate, 26 ditto of pew, 1 cask of 'WOOLWICH, FEE. 2a. APPOINTMENT. Captain John Fulford (1848), t o command the Conway, 26. commissioned this day at Ports mout h . Rear-Admiral M. F. F. Berkeley, C.D., returned to the Admiralty this evening from Devonport, after having inspected the pensioners who had previously- served as seamen or marines in her Majesty's service. Capt. Edward Augustus Inglefield arrived at 'Woolwich to-day, and, on taking up his commission as commander of the Phcenia screw steam-sloop for service in the Arctic regions, went to the dock, in which she is being strongly doubled, and hoisted his pendant on board th a t vessel. Lieutenant Samuel Gurney Cresswell also arrived at Woolwich Dockyard to-day, and took up his commis. sion on being appointed to command the Talbot store ship, fitting to accompany the Phoenix to the Arctic regions, with stores for Captain Sir Edward 13elcher's expedition. The Rhadarnanthus paddle-wheel steam store-vcssd, Master-Commander Belarn, was paid down here to-day, and intended leaving Woolwich in the afternoon for Portsmouth and Devonport, with machinery, boilers, and a funnel for the Algiers, 91, screw steam-ship, at Devonport. The Violet iron paddle-wheel steam•packet, formerly employed on the Dover mail packet service, but sold by the Government last week to Messrs. Jenkins and Churchward, the contractors for the Dover mail packet service from October next, was taken out of the basin here in the early part of the present week and up to Blackwall, where she is to have the necessary repairs completed at Messrs. C. J. Mare and Co.'s establish• ment for building iron vessels. , On the examination of the seamen and marine pen sinners at Deptford by Rear-Admiral Berkeley and Cap tam Henderson, C. 8., Controller of the Coast-guard, about 200 of those in the Woolwich district were found fit for service, and received cards of the duties they are to perform when called upon to serve. - DEATH OF CAPTAIN TOZElL—Captain Aaron Tozer (1830), died on Tuesday last at his residence, Hower's row, Plymouth, aged 65. Captain Tozer was in receipt of a good-service pension, which by his death is placed at the disposal of the First Lord of the Admiralty. FUTURE WARLIKE OPERATIONS. (From the Times.) The Government have wisely abstained from giving, and the public from requiring, any information as to the future movements and intended operations in which the forces now departing from our shores may ere long be engaged. It is obvious that, whatever the plans for these active operations may be, it is the duty of those in au thority and th e i n t erest of the nation to keep them secret until the moment of execution. We possess therefore no information on this subject wbieh may not be common to all who have examined the topography of the theatre of war; and, if we did possess any information of a more positive character, we should think it our duty to publish it With great reserve. But the fact that a British army of upwards of 25,000 men will shortly be on its way to the East, and that it will be accompanied by a French army of still greater magnitude, opens to our considera tion the positions in which they may be placed, and the circumstances ichthey of m t a h y e booeueontgryagaeldjd; theandp to o certain extent si ton of the enemy will indicate the measures likely to be taken in the first instance. Marshal Marmont has dis a in knowledge w h cusAd in his travels with great military judgment the nature of the operations befit calculated for the attack and the defence of the Turkish empire, by or against the Russians. He is of opinion that, if the Russians had already by any means possessed themselves of the Darda nelles, the most intimate alliance and energetic efforts of England, France, and Austria would be unable to force them to retire from that position. But, supposing the allied forces to be the first occupiers of the most essen tial positions in the Turkish territory, the advantage would be on their side. With a view to the defence of Constantinople, and the ultimate defeat and destruction of a Russian army which should have crossed the Danube and attempted to turn or force the Balkan, Ad rianople becomes unquestionably the grand centre of operations at the commencement of a campaign, and one of the mea sures recommen d e d b y the Marshal to cover Constantinople and to support the more advanced divisions of the Turkish army, is the formation of an ex tensive camp at Adrianople, which might easily bo for tified by intrenchments. The construction of 18 or 20 towers in the style of the works round Linz, would pro bably render such a position impregnable. Supposing, for the present, that Adrianople is to be regarded as the centre of preliminary operations, if we place that posi. tion at the summit of an equilateral triangle, the other two angles of the figure will fall at Rodosto on the Sea of Marmor4, and at Enos, near the mouth of the Ma i itza. The base of the figure thus described will cut oft the peninsula of the Thracian Chersonesus—that strip of land which lies between the Gulf of Saros and the Hellespont, and commands on its eastern coast the entrance of the Dardanelles. There is no reason to believe that General • Baraguay d' HiNiers has selected Rodosto on the sea of Marmora as the landing place of the French forces, f rom w hi c h they may either be directed towards the capital, or by the onward line march to Adrianople. Our own forces will, it is understood, rendezvous at Malta, though we question whether the first division will be delayed until the second be ready to join it there, and the greater pro bability is that the troops now on their way will proceed with very little interruption to .the Turkish territory. With a view, therefore, to future operations in Thrace or Roumelia, such a corps would probably land either at Enos, for the purpose of advancing along the valley of the Maritza (the ancient Hebrus), or they would com mence by the occupation, by about 10,000 men, of the strong position on the tableland called Mapta, above the Castles of Europe, in the Dardanelles. That position is the key of the Hellespont, and it is impregnable when held by a power in command of the sea, which washes it on either side. From the configuration of the peninsula it could easily be protected by lines of no great extent, and requiring hereafter but a small force to defend them. Should the army advance by the Maritza, Demotika would become an important point south of Adrianople. Marshal Marmont observes, in his criticism on this sub ject : "If a French and English fleet were to pass the Straits of the Dardanelles, and arrive at Constantinople ; and if at the' same time a corps of 50,000 men of the alliance, Austrian or French, were to take up the position of Adria nople, and establish the intrenched camp of which I have spoken, then the Russians ‘iatild have immense difficulties to overcome in dislodging their enemies. From that mo ment their fleet must return to the port of Sebastopol, not again to quit it ; and if they moved an army towards the Balkan, it would be exposed to great danger from the operations of an Austrian force dehouching either from Transylvania and entering Bessarabia, or from Hungary, and marching into Servia to take in reverse the army of Bulgaria." These remarks, written several years ago, describe with curious accuracy the present state of affairs, espe cially since Austria has declared to France and England her intention to take active measures to prevent the advance of Russia, and to obtain the evacuation of the Principalities. This reasoning, however, is founded chiefly on the con tingencies of defensive war, and we apprehend that, as far as the defence of the Turkish empire from aggression is concerned, that object is attained from the moment England and France send their fleets and armies to in sure it. No one can imagine that it is in the power of Russia to invade Turkey with success, and to force the , double line of the Danube and the Balkan so as to me nace Constantinople, when covered by at least 60,000 of the best troops in Europe ; but the campaign, when it opens, can hardly be merely defensive, for the Allied Powers have distinctly in view two objects :—first, to compel the Russians to evacuate the Principalities ; and, secondly, to carry on the war against Russia in other parts of her dominions with such energy as to compel her to sue for peace on our own terms. The grand defect of the Russian position in Wal lachia is, that their whole line of operations is parallel to the line of the Turkish fortresses, and is consequently liable to be cut off at its base, opposite Silistria or else-s where, while its front is attacking Kalafat or \Vidal: t now But the danger of this position is enormously increased by ~ctihansy efac i t v t a h n a i a ar t the ei Austrian aso forces being assembled' i u parallel lineliee to the north, and may by it in Moldavia. N or is a sh ort advance intersect.. of 'the English an d l'ienchils all. Th e great advantage: , armies occupying positions the coast, on or near of steam. _,_,and assisted by the large amount stuns and steam-transports placed at their dis posal, is, that a complete corps d'arntee may be thrown. with very little difficulty or delay on any part of the' enemy's coast Or line of operations. %hies, it is open to the Officers commanding these combined operations to operate on the rear or left flank of the Russian army on any point of the coast of Bessarabia, from Odessa, Akers • mann, the mouths of the Danube, or as far south as , Varna. In this manner the Russian forces would be literally surrounded and cut off from supplies on which their existence in such countries depends. The further they had advanced the worse their position would be come, and they ought to be reduced even to lay down their aims. Russia, as an aggressive Power is, after all, wea k. Her armies dwindle away beyond her own frontiers, and. she bassnever since 1814 brought a really great into the field at any considerable distance from her bass of operations. Her real power is in the defence of he! territories, and there, within the recesses of her steppes' and her forests, the heart of the empire is unassailable. But ivhen the Emperor Nicholas imprudently boasted this other day, in his answer to France, that his troops would behave as they had done in 1812, be strangely Mistook the difference of his positio n. In 1812 England Was the ally of Russia, Turkey bad concluded peace, the Black Sea was closed, and the coasts of the • empire were secure. The Emperor Nicholas bass now both elements against him, and he begins war by the attempt to keep possession of the Prin. civilities, in which his army is already outflanked, and he has not a fortified place to cover a single regiment. While he is carrying on war on the Danube his own ports and arsenals , Sebastopol, Odessa, Kherson, Kaffa, and Nicolaieee or less threatened. are more We have here said nothing of his dangers in Asia ; but, when the season is more advanced, our attention will be directed to the Baltic, where the immediate vicinity of capital *tal and the vital In terests of the empire lie within reach of - a powerful and enterprising wombat. 13, G rea t Marlborough-street.
