TO DUNABURG. LAR. The Directors, havingClßC now IJ completed their negotiations With the Russi an Go vernme nt f or th e above Railway. have much pleasure in laying before the Shareholders the follow ing particulars of their arrangements, together with the prin cipal features of the Imperial Concession of 1853, which was confirmed, with additional advantages, by his Imperial Ma jesty, on the 26th February, 1857 : A fixed Capital of 10,200,000 silver roubles, or about 1 ,636,250/. sterling, over which the Company has the abso lute control, and of the expenditure of which they are not re quired to give any account to the Rusfiian Government. The fixed Capital has been changed in consequence of the length of the line having been reduced, and several important modifications having been allowed by the Russian 'Govern ment. A Concession for a period of 75 years, dating from the open ing of the whole Line, during which the Russian Government hasreserved ue right to purchase the Line. A guarantee, by the Russian Government, of 4 3 per cent., for interest and sinking fund. A sinking fund of one-eighth per cent. is sufficient to redeem the capital in 75 years. This calculation has been verified, together with all others of importance, by an eminent accountant. The line has been most carefully surveyed by John Hawk shaw, Esq., the engineer-in -chief. It is of very easy construc tion —there being no tunnels, deep cuttin g s, nor hi g h em bankments—few bridges, and those offering no engineering difficulties. The whole line is almost upon a level, the maxi mum gradient being lin 200, sloping gradually from Diina burg to Riga ; thus greatly economising the cost of con veying the produce from the interior. A contract for the construction of the railway and the anPply of the whole of the rolling stock and material., has, With theapproval of the engineer-in-chief, been entered into With an eminent English contractor, with ample security for its due performance. The total sum required for the construction of the Railway including all moneys to be paid to the contractor, the ex treme cost of the land, the interest on calls during construc tion, and the preliminary and all other expenses of manage- Ment, &c., whatsoever have been carefully estimated at the sum of 1,343 , 000/ . sterling, thus showing au excess of fixed • c apital over expenditure of 293,250/., the benefit of which excess will be obtained by the Shareholders by the redemp tion of their shares at par. The amount of the guarantee on the fixed capital of 1,636,250/. (after deducting the one-eighth per cent. for the si nking fund) is 71,586/ . p er annum , w hi c h, upon the above es timate, gives 5i per cent. per annum for interest on the % Pita' (1,343,000/.) actually required, and still 'elves a con siderable margin for unforeseen contingencies. BY the statutes the shares will be reduced from their origi nal amount of 100/. to 201., or 125 silver rubles, 500 francs, 236 guilders, or 139 thalers of Prussia, each. In conse quence of the reduction in the guaranteed capital, and the Issue of the shares being limited to 81,600, four shares only of 201, each will be exchanged for each 1001. share. On these shares of 201. only 16/. 10s, will be required to make up the above •estimated expenditure of 1,343,0001. ; and the guaranteed interest of 17s. 6d, per share, exclusive of the sinking fund, is equal to 5i per cent, on this amount. The shares will be redeemable at the par of 201. out of the sinking fund by periodical drawings, It is proposed, on the Completion of the line, to issue separate coupons in series, available for 10 years each. One of these coupons will re present the guaranteed interest, and the other the dividends on the extra profits of the line. The former will expire on the redemption of the share at par ; but the latter will con tinue in force during the period for which it may have been issued. A sum for interest during construction alas been inc'uded by the Russian Government in the fixed capital ; and 5 per cent. per annum will therefore be paid on all calls until the 'Telling of the whole line. The shareholders will enjoy, during the whole period of the concessio n , the entire profits, which, upon a most careful calculati on , based upon the existing traffic, show a rate of 15 Per cent The Railway will connect with Riga the three capitals—St. P etersburg, Moscow, and Warsaw. The line runs for nearly t he Whole distance through a district, the cultivation of Which would bear comparison with that of any other country ; and, i ndependently of the through trade, there can be no doubt that the local traffic, both in goods and passengers, Will form an important and increasing item in the receipts of the line, , As an in s t ance of last year ' s traffic, it would have required ' 1 !0 full t ra i ns of 35 waggons each per day, for the whole a Z I PPing season (say six months), to have brought down the alone shipped last season from Riga. Nor will the pro tected Libau line injure these prospects ; but, on the con -11117, acting as a feeder from Koursk and Orel, it would ~r in g the produce of these provinces (hitherto shipped at St. zetersburg) to Danaberg : a fair share of which would natu rY go for shipment to the important port of Riga, saving thereby nearly 100 miles of carriage. lit e of A all Crown land se s are given for the purposes of the Railway, expen.

This land in the town itself, in the suburbs, and on the line of the road, is calcu lated at about 56 versts, or about 37 miles ; and this valuable acquisition will effect a considerable reductiotrin the esti mated cost of the land. The Directors, in conclusion, congratulate the shareholders 1 1 1 3 0 n the exceedingly favourable terms they have succeeded la. ch taining beyond thos e or i g i na ll y con t em pl a t e d, an d sub stin summary o f th e pr i nc i pal advantages gained b eyon d nose set forth in the original prospectus. _ I. The li ne h av i ng been shortened, and many important Flodificatio ns allowed, a smaller capit a l i s requ i re d , w hi c h in creases the amount of the dividends. 2. The term of the concession has been extended from 56 !•0 75 years, dating from the opening of the whole line, dur lug which time the entire profits belong to the Company. 3. A sinking fund of one-eighth per cent., instead of one half, is now sufficient to redeem the capital. 4. The gratuitous grant of all the laud belonging to the Municipality of Riga which is requisite for the railway. 5. In consequence of the amount of the shares being re duced, and their number limited by the statutes to 81,600, an additional 10s. per share (i.e. 161. 10s. instead of 16/.) be comes ,necessary to be called up to meet the estimates • but, as the guaranteed interest on the fixed capital is equal to Per cent, on the estimated capital, the extra per cent, on the 161, 10s. is equivalent to 15 per cent, on the additional 10s., which far exceeds the terms originally offered. The official documents and letters, together with the cal culationg and estimates, are open to the inspection of any S hareholder, upon his application at the offices of the Com- Pang. A call, equal to 11, on each .tot share, will be shortly re quired, of which due notice will b. given.

The attendance here on Saturday was larger than could have been anticipated, considering that during the greater part of the day the unfavourable weather did so much to deter visitors, and threatened to do still more. Nevertheless, the half-crown payments at the doors amounted to more than 3001., while from the sale of season tickets—both one and two guinea—upwards 'of 2001. was gained. The total receipts, therefore, including the profit on the sale of catalogues, pro grammes, &c., were 6001. During the early part of to-day the rain fell heavily, and, of course, for the first one or two hours after the open the re ceipts were proportionably affected. Towards the afternoon, however, the weather changed again for the better, and with the returning sunshine there was a steady influx of visitors till nearly 4 o'clock, at which time between 5,000 and 6,000 had poured into the building. Though on the whole the at tendance to-day was much smaller than on Satur day last, yet, in comparison, the money paid for admission has been greater in amount. At a rough estimate, therefore, the income of to-day may be fairly set down at between 5001. and 6001. These results are in every way gratifying, though, as we have already said, the full measure of the Exhibi tion's popularity, and the certainty of success in a financial point of view, will not be seen until the shilline days commence, which are anxiously looked forward to by half Manchester and all the surrounding districts. Within the last few days music has been added to the attractions of the sister arts, and a choice programme is performed each afternoon by the band under the careful direction of Mr. C. Halle. This forms an agree able interlude particularly to those who, after long promenading through the saloons and gal leries, are compelled to rest on the seats provided round the orchestra. No proof is required to demonstrate the triumphant success of the Exhibition hitherto. If, one, however, were wanting it would be found in the letters which daily reach the heads of its various departments. The possessors of many fine works of art who enter tained the committee's application to exhibit with coldness, and who up to the time of the opening had not sent in, are now anxious to repair their omis sions, while hundreds of persons who were never solicited at all are besieging the management with eager importunities to be permitted to contribute at least one object—picture, carving, or whatever it may be. In fact collectors at last seem to be aware that the mere fact of their gems being selec ted for exhibition along with the greatest master pieces of the world will confer on their contribu tions.a status in art which hoarding for centuries in galleries and cabinets will never give. Among the objects, recently sent in is a bedstead of carved oak, which, though only the work of a working joiner at Warrington, is probably one of the finest and most elaborate specimens - of decorative furni ture in the whole building. It is in the Renais sance style, and most beautifully carved with mottoes, figures, fruit, and flowers, all in high re lief. Its origin is due to the exhibition of 1851, which the workman visited, and was fired to emula tion by the sight of the Austrian furniture. He returned home to Warrington, determined to ex ' eel the examples he had seen, and hence the present bedstead, which is no less a grand monument of his industry than of his talent for design and skill in execution. _ During Sunday, of course, the building was closed to the public, and a brigade of photographers took advantage of the dies non to make copies of many of the chef d'oeuvres for Colnaghi's work on the Exhibition, which will be an enduring record of the marvellous works which for the first time in England's history, at least, have ever been brought together. At present all the hotels here are full to repletion, while each day adds to the number of visitors. Marsha Magnan, who commands the army of Paris, bas addressed the following order' of the day to the troops who took part in the late review :—" The troops of all arms of the Imperial - Guard, of the army of Paris, and of the lit Military Division, who were reviewed by the Emperor on the 6th inst., have merited the appro bation of his Majesty from their fine appearance, the regularity of their lines, and the precision and ensemble of th e i r movements. The Marshal Commanding -in-' Chiet is happy to report to the officers, sub-officers, and soldiers, the expression of the high satisfaction of the Emperor." - • - [Advertisem• nt.] REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS. AT THE ANNUAL MEETING OF THE SHAREHOLDEBS OF THE UNITY BANK, Held on Monday, the 11th day of May, 1557. The directors have great pleasure in meeting the share holders, and in submitting for approval the following balance-sheet of assets and liabilities. The difficulty attendant upon introducing the principle of mutuality into the business of banking was one which could not be accomplished without considerable trouble, delay, and expense. All arrangements wore completed to begin business on the Ist of January, 1856, when the Board of Trade, deeming it necessary to consult the law officers of the Crown as to the legality of the new principle of mutuality without responsibility on the part,of the deposi tors, delayed the grant of the charter until the Ist of May —thus entailing four months' establishment expenses on the bank before it could commence business. Great outlay was also incurred by the establishment of the following branches : —Leicester-square, Watford, St. Alban's, Hertford, Were, Brighton, and Pimlico, and the preparation for branches at Aldgate, Holborn, Regent circus, and Exeter. Experience having proved that the success of these branches was doubtful, the directors have determined to close those at Watford, St. Alban's, Ware, and Pimlico, at Midsummer next. They have also declined opening branch banks which had been prepared at Aldgate, Holborn, Regent-circus, and Exeter. These circumstances have largely increased the amount which appears under the head of preliminary expenses.• The Charter empowers the directors to diffuse the preli minary expenses over a period of 20 years, the average charge on the profits of each year will not therefore exceed 1,500/. The current expenses 'have been considerably reduced, those for the six months ending 30th April, 1857, being 1,762/. less than those of the preceding half-year. At the urgent request of a large body of the sharehold ers, it. was determined by the Board, that the connection of gr. Thomas H. Baylis with the bank should cease. Ne gotiations entered into, for that purpose were successful. Notwithstanding tpe recent failures and irregularities of two metropolitan joint-stock - banks, with the disgraceful exposures in connection with the failure of a private bank, which shook the confidence of the public in all such insti tutions, this bank, although suffering in common with others from those causes, has taken root in the commercial world. It has opened upwards of 1,400 accounts, discounted bills to the amount of 1,500,0001., on which a loss has accrued of only 1,1001., and after payment of current ex penses, interest on deposit' and current accounts, and making deduction for bad and doubtful debts, ,has realised a net profit of 2,4151. 4s. 10d. It i; the opinion of the directors that it would at present be undesirable to diminish the funds of the company by the payment of a dividend, but as the balance admits of 3 per cent. to the shareholders upon payments made by them up to the Ist May, 1856, it remains for the share holders, having all the facts before them, to determine how the surplus shall be disposed of. Friendly'' communications have been established with most of the leading banking firms on the Continent and India, and arrangements are in progress for the appoint. ment of agencies in the chief towns of Canada and the United States, for the transaction of business, and for the granting of letters of credit At Birmingham, Manchester, and Southampton agents have been appointed to receive and transmit cash to the head office on reasonable terms, and the directors have it in contemplation to open similar agencies in other large mercantile districts. The directors suggest that the future half-yearly meet ings of the Bank should be held in the months of January and July, and that the books should be balanced at the usual periods, in conformity with the practice of similar establishments. The following members of the board retire by rotation, and offer themselves for re-election :—J. J. Mechi, Esq., R. J. Snape, Esq., R. Garland, Esq, The Directors feel it their duty to express their unani mous conviction that this Bank will succeed, and are anxious to impress upon the minds of the Shareholders the facts, that the business of banking is profitable, and that this Bank is ably and honestly conducted ; they therefore con fidently urge the shareholders to recommend and expound its peculiar principle of mutuality amongst their friends and connections, so as to ensure its increased and perms nent prospsrity. _ _ _ J.

The auditors of the Unity Joint-Stock Mutual Banking Association, in submitting their report to the shareholders, have much pleasure in exprassing their satisfaction with the method in which the books and accounts are kept. They feel, moreover, bound to tender their thanks to the manager, accountant, and the gentlemen acting under them, for the alacrity they have shown in affording every facility to them in this investigation. The auditors have not only tested the accuracy of the accounts, but have thoroughly examined, to the best of their ability, the vouchers and securities, and consider them to be quite satisfactory. They find that the whole of the capital of 150,0001. was paid into the London and Westminster Bank. These being the subjects essentially involved in such. an examination, the auditors feel that this report, however concise, is here technically complete ; but in their capacity of shareholders, they venture to add a few observations which may tend to satisfy the shareholders—the public mind of late having been so much disquieted by the fai lures and frauds of those in whom confidence had been too unreservedly reposed. The condition of the balance-sheet is; in their opinion, owing to three causes :- 1. The failure of the Royal British Bank, which alarmed the community and created prejudices against all new companies and joint-stock banks. 2. To an unnecessary and indiscreet expenditure in the preliminary outlay, and more especially by the establish ment of branch banks in places where it was obvious the small amount of business to be transacted could not com pensate for the expenses. 3. To the supposed but mistaken connection between the bank and the fire and life assurance companies, and the notoriety gained by the latter in the public press in the discussions which led to the resignation of Mr. Baylis. It is the opinion of the auditors that the bank has passed safely through a crisis of its existence imperilled by the above causes, and that nothing is now required but a continuation of its present system of management, and the efforts of the shareholders, to entirely restore public confidence and ensure considerable success. A large discount business has been transacted with a be neficial result, the losses having been extremely small. The deposit and current accounts are both of a promis ing character. The auditors have regarded with jealousy and suspicion loans made to directors, or any monies received by them from the bank, they find, however, that such transactions are of a moderate character, and have been made upon the same principles as those to the customers generally. - The auditemhad theymet with anything in the account' which justified their doing so,. would have at once availed themselves of the services of a pi ofessional accountant. • The present mat has cost them s) much time tali trouble, that they propose for the future, with the consent of the board of directors and shareholders, to examine the books once a month, in order to facilitate their labours at the regular half-yearly audit. (Signed) WILLIAM GOULD. W. S. AUSTIN. PRINCE ADAM CZARTORYSKI. At the annual meeting of the Po Historical S day, held is Paris on the 3d inst., the venerable Prince, as president, delivered the following address to his countrymen I thought it incumbent upon me, gentlemen, to attend the meeting of this day, to celebrate with you the mini vereary so highly cherished by every Pole, as the re miniscence of the glorious period, when the nation in the latter days of her full independence, made a noble use of it for the free expression of her will. I must mention, by the way, that on this very day, perhaps this very hour, the Association of the Friends of Poland in London are' holding their annual meeting. The existence of that association, which, for more than twenty years, and notwithstanding the lamented death of our noblest and most indefatigable friend, Lord Dudley Stuart, exert themselves in promoting our cause in Eng land, and in alleviating the sufferings of our exiled bre thren; the existence, I say, of this association, entirely composed of Englishmen, in the midst of most unfavour able circumstances, is a fact, which I could Ilo t pass over in silence, a fact deserving of our grateful consi deration, and its frequent manifestation, in order to prove by it, that we ,do feel and fully appreciate the value of such rare and long devotedness. Moreover, this association is a lasting and opea protest in our be half ; its usefulness therefore is as obvious, as its loss Would be fatal ta us. Only just arrived from the country, neither bring anything new or interesting. Enough has been said of our past, and we can only record, that in thr . t-past the rights-of Poland remain inviolable, the irnprescrip. tibia rights of Divine justice, rights secured by solemn treaties; which no regular acknowledged and collec tively agreed upon European act has ever repealed, or' even weakened in their foundation. These rights do exist, therefore, but the power is wanting which could or would, at east at present interfere efficiently in support of them. In causes most just and equitable there are, sometimes, temporary impossibilities to which people are compelled to yield. It is well known that the general tendency of the policy of the day, both with governments and nations, is to divert their whole attention; all their means and efforts, to internal improvements, and to the increase of their wealth, which, under the present state of peace, might bring into operation a flourishing commerce and a varie.l industry. Even Russia, although retaining, indeed, all her former conquests, declares her intention of giving up all future prospects of aggression ; she promises that she will occupy herself solely with the improvement of her administration, with the abolition of internal abuses, and with the alleviation, in some degree, of the persecu tions which crush the countries she has subdued l Such a moral impulse, were it everywhere sincere, and con nected with justice to all, and did the advance of civilisa tion and moral progress go hand in hand with the increas ing abundance of means and material, wealth might doubtless produce happy consequences for humanity. We Poles, should we not, for our own advantage, fellow in this universal disposition of minds' We, too, should everywhere occupy ourselves with our internal cultivation, with the interests of ourselves and of our country, with moral, intellectual, literary, agricultural, and mechanical progress, the want of which our nation feels the most. True, our position is quite exceptional. We have no Government of our own, whose first duty it would be to care for our good and for the continual pro gress of the country—a Government which would be the responsible representative of the nation, and its most zealous guardian and protector. We most certainly , confess, and such a confession makes our sincerest grati tude a duty, that of all Europe the Frepch Government does not cease to confer on our emigration its protection and its benevolent assistance, whioh it bas_ directed in the most useful of channels, that of the education of oar youth. But this protection, the more valuable and magnanimous as being granted to us by a foreign and powerful Gevernmen , , cannot yet replace our own, or extend to the multitudinous wants of the nation. In our general position, therefore, every 1 Pole, whatever may be his station in life, is answerable to his country ; each by his conduct either disgraces or hondurs us, and does his best to hurt or aid the national cause. ' Several foreigners, in order to remove from their own minds the irkiome recollection of our wrongs and com plaints, are pleased to imagine, and endeavour to prove or repeat, that the Poles no longer care for their coun try, that they have ceased : to be Poles, that they have already accustomed themselves to the yoke now forced upon them. To this shameful calumny all an each of us in this world give a most emphatic denial ! Yet it is true that our position is not only painful and di<tresging, but also difficult ; because it imposes upon us more exertions, more sacrifices, because it requires of us more control over ourselves, more firmness and greater perfection than are expected from other nations. Foreigners being unwilling to understand either our position, or our feelings, prefer to suppose them extinct, and to look upon us as part►y transformed into Germane and Russians. We may, however, be allowed to believe, that God did not so ordain, that He has reserved for us a different fate: In spite of discouragement, of disheartening cir cumstances, and of obstacles insuperable, His supreme will is, that we should remain Poles, and not give way to despondency ; that we should bear our lot with forti tude, labour constantly, faithfully, imp rove ourselves, and never lose sight of the good of our country or the maintainance of its nationality. Why, I ask you, should God have rooted so deeply in us the love of our country, that no persecutions or wrongs can ever tear it out of our hearts—that often, against our own will, the heart pines and sighs after its native land, however much oppressed it be ; that every torture practi-old upon our distant brethren, makes us feel, as it were, inflicted upon our ownselves, and that our rapture increases whenever the faintest ray of hope happens to break upon our country ? Why should the remotest and the longest separated provinces entertain the same feelings, and demand the re-establishment of the Polish schools ! For what purpose should we harbour in our conscience the voice of our country which covers with shame every Pole, who without being forced to it, does of his own accord and for his own selfish views fawn upon and flatter the oppressor . . These are enduring im pulses, which nothing can curb or efface—they are the voices of the soul, which no suffering, contumely, or even extreme distress, which no pleasures, riche', luxuries, or high appointments can stifle, and which upon every occasion will make themselves heard, and show their supremacy. God would not have g;ven us such strong and visible marks of a distinct nationality— he would not have, so to say, thereby distinguished us 'so much if it had not entered into his views to guard this nationality from contempt and ruin, and to protect it against foreign oppression either cruel and vio lent, or gradual and insidious. This evident favour of the Almighty ought to excite all Poles to untiring exer tions in surmounting all obstacles, and to seek for .;he various ways in the different branches of improvement through which they may be useful to their country. In the consideration of this design of Providence, ought not our courage to find a new stimulus to reach the goal so dear to us ? Ought we not in all our actions, in all our undertakings, in whatever position we may be, always to have before us the consciousness of the duty imposed upon, us, that of always remaining Poles. What is a Pole if he ceases to be one ? Worse than a nonentity. Being without any principle on which to act, he is con affluently thought lightly of, if not despised, by stran gers, with whom he tries to ingratiate himself ; he is now an object of disgust to his ciuntrymen whom he has abandoned, and will not find in honours or plenty a shield against his contemptible baseness. The present time is favourable to peaceful pursuits and study, inasmuch as it opens a wide field of usefu'- ness, especially to those possessing means and the ne cessary instruction, were they but willing to employ them for the general good. Charitable and religious in• structions, schools the hope of the future, commercial enterprises, literary, industrial and agricultural labours, the diffusion of useful knowledge among the different classes, abstinence from useless and ruinous expense, the guidance of youth to duty, faith and morality, and many more beautiful undertakings, are they not worthy of those who are endowed with understanding and noble minds? By carrying them out they would earn a name of which they might be justly proud, and deserve to be placed at the head of the nation, as in times gone by their ancestors reaped laurels for tbose of other ages. I trust that our countrywomen will promote and en courage this impulse. They are foremost everywhere, and particularly in Poland, in all noble undertaking] having the benefit of others and not the advantage of self for their object, and when some of our comforts are to •be sacrificed for the benefit of the many. Ladies have more heart, mare disinterested zeal than ourselves, with our cold and calculating mind. We therefore mostly reckon upon our mothers, wives, and sisters, that these salutary exertions and tendencies for the good of our country will not be neglected, but will produce the results which we all desire. Let us cease, gentlemen, to rely upon external evente. What need have we to wait for them and concern our selves about them, when there is, every day, so much to do at home with our ownselves. " Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof," says Divine wisdoep. Let us conscientiously and devoutly perform the practicable, useful and appointed task of the day, and the next will point out to -us what we shall have to do to-morrow. Let us not think so much about the future—there will be time enough for it, when it is turned into the prrscnt. The future is in the bands of the Almighty ; may O nl y a righteous, a Polish spirit, con f orm able t_ o Ills Divine Will, he preserved in our bosoms. This depen: s upon our own selves, and to it particularly our con t, t and indefatigable attention ought to be directed. Per forming thus zealously without flinching, our numerous duties towards our country and our fellow brethren, let us with patience and trust commit ourselves to Provi dence, which Will infallibly reward our patriotic exer tions ila,val and Mlntary intelligence. Letters love been receivk.- d. from Malta to the 6'h of May, announcing the arrival in port on the 30th of April, after cruising for eight days in the offing, of Admiral Lord Lyons, the Commapder-in-Chief, in the Royal Albert screwsteamship of the line, ac companied by the Conqueror, Centurion, and Brunswick screw steam liners, and Ariel steam cor vette.

MR. IV. RUSSELL'S LECTURES. Yesterday evening a brilliant audience, compris ing all the literary celebrities who figure in the London world, assembled in Willis's-rooms to heat the first of the three lectures in which Mr. Russell purposes to give a description of the late war. A general feeling of curiosity manifestly pervaded the whole assemblage. The excitement produced by the written descriptions of the lecturer was still fresh in the minds of all, and all therefore were anxious to ascertain whether he was as potent with his voice as with his pen. Let us add that among the lite rary portion of the audience a general sympathy with Mr. Russell was plainly visible. The zeal and energy that he has displayed - on 'so many-oceasions, the vivacity of his descriptive powers, and the geni ality of his disposition, have made him an object of admiration, and we may say of affection, among his fellow-craftsmen, and he himself could hardly have been more anxious for his own success than many of those who had gathered together for the purpose of hearing him. On the appearance of Mr. Russell in front of a large map representing the Black Sea and its vici nity, an encouraging cheer arose from every part of the room. He modestly stated that his intention was merely to describe his own personal impres sions, without dogmatically claiming for them any exclusive value, and, consistently with this prefa tory declaration, the vicissitudes that he experienced. in the course of his visit to the seat of war were interwoven throughout with the series of great events of which he was a spectator. The first part of his lecture comprised his fortunes from the time when he left Marseilles to the arrival of the allied forces in the Crimea, and at the be ginning,was jocular enough. The nuisances endured at Gallipoli, though serious at the time of endurance, can be laughed at when they are over, and Mr. W. Russell's record of " villainous smells" created as much mirth as Falstaff's. Even the scanty supplies of tents, provisions, and ammunition could be lightly treated, and the remark of somebody that "an army directed by stationery was sure to be a stationary army," was an acceptable bon snot. The early portion of the sojourn in- and about Varna allowed the narrative to be continued in the same pleasant vein, and the description of a camp start ing into activity in the morning was as fine a speci men of word painting as one would wish to hear. The pleasures attendant on various excitements were narrated in the best possible humour, ‘but the nar rative became more grave as it proceeded. The lassitude that took possession of the army as the result of long inactivity, and the failure of all means of amusement, came as a sort of prelude to the cholera, the ravages of which were described by M r . Russell immense power—the lecturer allowing himself a more liberal use of allegorical imagery than at the commencement of his narrative. • The departure for the Crimea brought the tale of horror to its termination, and the landing of the troops led to a consolatory remark with reference to the possibility of a French invasion. Although no enemy was at hand and no obstacle was presented by stress of weather, four days were occupied in landing an army that even when on shore was in. no immediate condition to begin a campaign. At this point Mr. Russell retired for a few minutes, and the map was changed for a plan of the battle of the Alma. To this great battle, and the events that immediately preceded it, the whole of the second part of the lecture was devoted. Wand in hand, Mr. Russell designated the various positions marked on the plan, and went through the entire battle as if he were witnessing it once more. The glittering of bayonets in the sun, the movement of red masses up the heights, the dark gray coats of the enemy, which at a distance looked like patches of wood, were reproduced with won derful vivacity in the imagination of the lecturer, and, through him, in that of the hearers. With particular impressiveness did he dwell on the mani festation of a certain feeling, unknown in times of peace, when the Russians were first in sight—the " Cain-like feeling" when the prospect of homicide affords a ferocious pleasure. It each point of his narrative he boldly claimed the sympathies of his hearers, and at the record of some particularly gallant deed they cheered aloud as if the exploit belonged to the preceding moment. The announce ment of the victory—for so we may call it- s -was• received with a burst of enthusiasm. However, Mr. Russell did not allow his audience to leave him in a state of unmixed exultation, but gave a most thrilling description of the horrors of a battle field when the contest is over. Few lecturers have over undertaken so weighty a task as Mr. Russell. His discourse lasted for full two hours and a half, and required greater exertion at the end than at the beginning. He de. parted from the platform followed by loud soda. mations ' and will resume his narrative on Thurs day next. —Times. ESGAIR MWYN 31INLYG COMPANY.
