Major and Co.. was that contained in one of Milners' Patent Safes. From the intense nature of the tire, and the length of time the Safe was exposed to the action of the tames, I was fully convinced of the destruction of the books and papers it contained ; and feel very great pleasure in testify ing to this extraordinary instance of their preservation. I may add, that the Safe was placed on the third story, without any protection, where it remained till the floor was burnt around it, when it fell to the room beneath, the floor of which was like wise destroyed by the fire.—Yours truly, "JAMES S. HUNTER, "Executor of the late Thomas S. Major, of the Firm of Thomas S. Major and Co. "Belfast, January 2nd, 1854." TRIUMPHANT RESISTANCE TO ROBBERS, AT MESSRS. BUTTERWORTH AND BROOKES'S, MANCHESTER. "Sie,—Last night our Premises were entered by burglars, who made a desperate attempt upon the Milners' Holdfast Safe we bought from you some time since ; and, although they evidently had recourse to all the usual appliances of accom plished thieves, and ultimately to gunpowper in abundance, we are glad to say with no other effect than to injure the lock— the opening of the Safe they found quite impracticable.

ROLL YOUNG WHEATS in the SPRING,. after Frost and Snow have left the plants bare, or where the Wireworm and Grub have ravaged a portion ; then CROSSICILL'S ROLLER is better than treading with sheep, its action going down to the roots of the plant, and leaving the wheat firm and secure. After thus rolling the crop grows stronger and more even, and the result is an increase of itruantify of a more equal and better sample for the Miller. Parties uniting to order a truck-load of THREE Rollers at once allowed TEN per Cent. off. EASY-RUNNING IMPROVED CARTS AND WAGGONS lessen the Horse-power and Horse-keep necessary for carry ing work.

FOREIGN AND COLONIAL. Kiberpoot tailbarb. TUESDAY MORNING, MAY 30, 1854, THE LOSS OF THE TIGER. :WE presume it is now placed beyond doubt that the accident which lately befel the Tiger steamer was correctly reported, so far as the matter of fact is concerned, and Her Majesty's navy is minus the vessel. Our onlyrreason for now referring to the subject is to express surprise at the concern which the circumstance seems to have given rise to throughout the country. Both in Parliament and out of Parliament public men have thought it necessary to shrug their shoulders, shake their heads, and look grave on the matter, as if some calamity had befallen the nation. What, after all, does it amount to ? Why, that one of Her Majesty's steam-ships, .rated sixteen guns in the navy list, accidentally ran on shore during a thick fog, on a coast which •as -yet is but little known to English navigators. The ship was stranded and became a wreck, which is a common occurrence with steam-ships under like circumstances. But the officers and crew were made prisoners. Of course they were, because the coast happened to be in possession of the Russians, with whom we are at war. But for this ,circumstance the acci dent would scarcely have deserved more than an ordinary paragraph in the papers. But it was surely making a mountain .of a mole-hill when it occasioned discussions and anxious inquiry in both Houses of Parliament for two or three nights. Had the ship made an unsuccessful attempt on the coast, been beaten off, and thus led to the disaster, there might have been a shadow of excuse for the minute inquiries in Parliament ; it might have shown imprudence and want of judg ment on the part of the commander in assailing a place that was too strong for him. But there was nothing of the sort ; it was from the first reported as an accident—one of those casualties to which every ship is liable, whether in peace or war. If the Tiger had surrendered to a ship of equal or even superior force, there might have been some cause for regret and inquiry ; it would have been considered a bad omen at the breaking out of war ; but being lost purely through an ac cident, which neither skill, prudence, nor courage could have averted, it is highly injudicious on the part of noble peers and honourable commoners to view it in such serious light. Surely it is not to be expected that England can carry on such a war as she has embarked in without meeting some casualties, and even reverses ; but if every trifling occurrence is to be made the subject of Parlia mentary discussion and public regret, it will have the worst effect upon the minds of the people; it will impress them with a belief that matters are not going on as favourably to our arms as the spirit of the nation evidently leads them to expect. We therefore hope that we shall hear no more of the loss of the Tiger but as a maritime casualty, which has fortunately been attended with very little loss of life.—Shipping and Mercantile Gazette. OVERTURES BY RUSSIA. IT appears that negotiations for peace were in active progress very shortly before the declaration of war ; and that, although that manifesto seemed to indicate a conclusion of these endeavours, the efforts have been since renewed, and, only a few weeks ago, proposals on the part of Russia were made to the British cabinet of so conciliatory a nature that the Russian party in our cabinet were anxious for their acceptance. It was even inti mated, in order to further this result, that the feelings of the Emperor Napoleon coincided with those of Lord Aberdeen. We have reason to be lieve that the propositions of Russia in this instance involved, to say the least, a virtual concession of all those conditions which had been insisted upon by the allies previous to the declaration of war. The anti-Russian party in the British cabinet, however, succeeded, though with difficulty, in the rejections of these propositions; and an opinion was expressed . that the time for a settlement on the status quo had passed. It seems that shortly after this decision it transpired that the advances on the part of the government of St. Petersburg were a well-calcu lated feint, made on the assumption that they would be rejected, and that the Western Powers might become committed to the dangerous course, doubly dangerous when indefinite, of repudiating the status quo. No sooner was this end obtained than, as it reaches us, representations were made to Austria and Prussia that the Emperor of Russia, adhering to his voluntary engagement to respect the integrity of the Turkish empire, and not to seek any territorial aggrandisement at its expense, and acknowledging, from the unforeseen circumstances that had occurred, that his main object, the relief of the Christian subjects of the Porte, had been substantially obtained, was ready, in the interests of peace, and to evince his regard for his allies, to cause the evacuation of the Prin cipalities by his armies, without the simultaneous retreat of hostile fleets. These overtures, as we are assured, have been received with favour by the two German courts, and at the present moment, while in this country we are calculating on the certainty of all the great powers being compactly allied against Russian policy, the Emperor of Russia has probably succeeded in changing the issue, and the controversy will be no longer as to the evacuation of the Turkish dominions, but on the recurrence to the status quo, or to a redistribution of terri tory, with the four great powers divided on the question. The difficulties of our cabinet are in creased, because, as we have reason to believe, no definite ideas prevail on the subjects of compen sation and security as conditions of peace. We have reason also to believe that the Emperor of the French has remarked that, since the status quo cannot be recognised, and as no plan of com pensation and future security is matured, pro longed occupation is the alternative; and thus the consequence of our proceedings will be—the Turkish empire in the systematic possession of foreign armies, which hitherto has ever been the first step to partition, and which must, at all events, entail on this country a vast and pro tracted expenditure, probably without any results. The renewal of the labours of the Vienna con ference, and the recording protocol from which so much is expected, are merely steps in the accomplishment of the projects above intimated. — The Press. MERCHANT-SHIP APPRENTICES. (From the Shipping and Mercantile Gazette.) MR. HonsrALL, the member for Liverpool, has given notice that, in committee on the Merchant Shipping Bill, he will move to insert a clause making it compulsory for merchant ships to carry apprentices. We have repeatedly shown the injustice of such a measure, and unless the honourable gentleman hopes to induce Mr. Cardwell to consent, at the same time, to the re-enactment of the old Navigation Laws, we cannot believe that those is the slightest chance of inducing the Honse of Commons to again place on the British shipowner the restrictions and obligations from which he has been relieved, by reason of the repeal of those laws. If Mr Horsfall urges the com pulsory apprenticeship clause at the suggestion of any particular section of the shipping interest, the simple answer is, that they are at liberty to carry as many ap prentices as they please. If the object be one of national policy, then we say the country has no right to ask the shipowner, any more than the shopkeeper or the cotton spinner, to contribute to the rearing of British Ammon. THE LEVANT. By the Peninsular and Oriental Company's steamship Euxine, Captain Cooper, we have dates from Constanti nople to the 10th, Smyrna to the 12th, Malta to the 16th, and Gibraltar to the 21st instant. On the 17th she spoke the Peninsular and Oriental Company's steamer Simla, on the 20th the transport-ships Negotiator and Banna tyne, on the 21st a steamer, No. 4,862 first distinguishing pennant, and the Culloden, War Cloud, and three other transports, on the 22d the steamer Madrid, on the 23d the steamer Colombo, and on the 24th the screw-steamer Hydaspes off Cape Finisterre. The steamer Twining was at Gibraltar, embarking troops for England, and the sailing-transport No. 25. From Constantinople and Malta the Euxine brings no later news. CAPE OF GOOD HOPE. The General Screw Steamship Company's mail steamer Indiana, Captain Lambert, arrived at Plymouth on Satur day, with the mails from the East Indies and the Cape of Good Hope, a general cargo of silk and indigo, and 158 passengers, among whom are the Bishop of Natal and Commissary-General Maclean, from the Cape. Her dates are, Calcutta, March 15: Madras, March 20; Ceylon, March 24; Mauritius, April 4; Cape, April 20; St. Helena, April 25 ; Ascension, May 2 ; St. Vincent's, May 12 ; Lisbon, May 23. Trade at Mauritius was healthy, but the principal articles of food scarce. His Excellency the Governor, whose sight-is affected, proceeds to England for surgical advice. The weather had been favourable for the coming sugar crop : the quantity, it was expected, would amount to 100,000 tons. The Saltany had arrived there from Calcutta with 360 coolies. She lost 25 pas sengers from cholera. The mail steamer Mauritius arrived there on the 19th March. At the Cape the gold excitement still continued, and it was stated that the probable extent of the "fields" was very great. The present insignificant results were attributed to the want of adequate labour appliances. Copper ore was found in some abundance. The abandonment of the Orange River Sovereignty was carried into full effect. General Cathcart was to leave the colony by the next opportunity. At Natal sickness among the horses and cattle prevailed to a great extent. The crops were luxuriant. H. M. S. Racehorse and Saracen arrived at the Cape on the 18th April. The Earl of Balcarries, from Bombay, with troops, put into Table Bay, March 30th, totally dismasted by a hurricane in the Mozambique Channel. The steamer Australian was expected to leave for England within a few days after the Indiana. The mail steamer Argo left Table Bay on the 29th March, with the outward mails. The mail steamer Propontis left St. Helena 13th April. ' The Philomel and Tortoise were at Ascension. The United States corvette Marion was at St. Vincents. H. M. S. Locust sailed thence for England, May 12th. The Medea left Lisbon for Jamaica on the 22d May. The Indiana put in there for coals the following day. Vessels spoken by the Indiana:—April 25, the Hempsyke, lat. 35 S., long. 21 E. April 28, the Rajahstan, lat. 18 S., long. 3W. May 1, the Seringapatam, lat. 13 S., long. 8 W.

The progress of the ltiltish North American colonies has again been illustrated by returns just issued of the immigration of the past year, and the continuous demand for labour. It appears that, notwithstanding the current to Australia, the total arrivals in Canada from Europe in 1853 were only 6 per cent. below those of the preceding year, the numbers having been 36,699, against 39,176. Of this number, 18,927, or rather more than one-half, were natives of Ireland, 4,913 of Scotland, 3,928 of Eng land, 3,135 of Germany, and, 3,123 of Norway ; while the remaining 628 were from Holland, Sweden, and other places. In the Irish emigration the number of females preponderated in a remarkable degree over that of males, the difference being more than 18 per cent. This fact is attributed to the shipment of young women from the poor unions, coupled with the extent of remittances from settlers already prosperous, to enable their wives and sisters to join them. Of the entire number of 36,699 immigrants, the proportion that remained in Canada was 25,195, while 11,504 passed through to the United States, nearly the whole of the Norwegian arrivals having been among the latter, owing to the difficulties they experienced from igno rance of the language, which would be obviated in the United States by their availing themselves of some exten sive settlements already opened by their own countrymen in Wisconsin. Their habits of industry and general suit ableness to the Canadian climate caused their departure to be regretted. About 200, however, were induced to accept railroad employment in Hamilton, and it is hoped that these may form a nucleus to induce others for the future to become settlers. With regard to the general health of the emigrants of the past season, the accounts are satisfac tory. The total mortality was only 0.81 per cent., and the slight excess which this shows over the previous year is attributed entirely to the unusually protracted passages to which several vessels were subjected, the average number of days occupied by the various emigrant ships from all the ports of Europe having been 48, against .39 in the previous year. The number of ships wrecked was four, involving a loss of 317 lives, and the instances in which risk and discomfort were found to prevail were mostly those in which iron formed the chief part of the cargo—a fact that has led to the suggestion of some regulation being made to prevent vessels conveying passengers from carrying more than a certain proportion of dead weight. On the question as to the success of the several immi grants in finding employment, nothing could be more decisive than the accounts presented. In most cases they at once proceeded up the country, and on reaching their destination were seldom more than a few hours unem ployed. During the present season the demand for labour at high wages is greatly increasing, owing to the vast rail way undertakings in progress, and with regard to women qualified to act as servants, it is said the scarcity is such that several thousands could be annually absorbed. The immigration described in the present report refers only to that which takes place by sea. A large number of settlers arrive rid the United States, the total during the past season being estimated at 5,000, irrespective of a great number of railway labourers temporarily attracted from the Western States, owing to the cessation of work in those regions, consequent upon the long-continued pressure in the New York money-market. AUSTRALIA. - - The advices from Australia iWilie recent arrivals con firm the previous reports of the general increase in the gold production. With regard to the import markets, the late news brought by the rapid passage of the American steamer Golden Age had created disappointment, owing to the announcement of continued shipments from this country on a larger scale than had been anticipated. The value of land was rapidly increasing. Among the vessels with gold which had lately sailed were the South Sea to London, with 5,420 ounces, and the Alfred, from Geelong to London, with 10,378 ounces. _ _ _ From Van Diemen's Land the dates are to the 18th of February. The new gold discoveries in the Ben Lomond district were attracting considerable attention. Here, also, the value of land was greatly increasing, and in some large sales lately made unprecedented prices had been realized. AFRICA. Her Majesty's screw - steamer Teazer, Lieutenant F. D. Rich, tender to the Penelope; arrived in the Sound on Wednesday evening. She left Ascension on the 6th of April, arrived at the Goree the 25th, left on the 27th, arrived at Fayal on the 12th of May, and sailed therefrom on the 16th. The Tortoise, commander Kitchen, was at Ascension. The Britomart was expected hourly. The Ferret and Myridon were at Sierra Leone. A French squadron of five ships, with a commodore's broad pendant, was at Goree. On the 3rd of May, in lat. 21'36, long. 25'57 W., spoke the Maria Hay, from Plymouth for Aus tralia, with government emigrants—all well. At Fayal there was a dismasted French ship with 360 emigrants, bound to New York. She had been three weeks at the island. On the 19th inst., in lat. 45 N., long. 24 W., passed the side of a large vessel, supposed to be that of a timber-laden ship. The Teazer left Plymouth on the 23rd of April, 1851, and has been employed since on the coast. AMERICA. ARRIVAL OF THE PACIFIC. By the United States mail steam-ship Pacific, Captain Nye, which arrived on Wednesday, we had intelligence from New York to the 13th inst. The Pacific brought 205 passengers, and $451,511 in specie. She spoke the Washington near New York, which had taken the crew and passengers off a wreck. The Nebraska Bill was still un der discussion in the house, and had given rise to a fracas. The profit of the monopoly of Per uv i a n g u a no by En g land had been discussed. The efforts to raise the Ericsson had been attended with success. The New York market was easier, and the demand from the mercantile community decidedly less pressing. Great caution was exercised in making new engagements, and fewer orders were sent to Europe for goods. The receipts of gold from California showed no diminution, the receipts from the Ist of January being $18,000,000. The fluctuations in the stool market had not been important : there was little spec Live demand. Exchange on London, 109 to 1091, Trading in all its departments was dull. The market ruled firm for cotton, particularly for middlings, which aro scarce at an advance of f, c. to The flour market was much depressed, and prices had declined 121 c. to 25c. The receipts were increasing, but no demand existed either for home use or export. Indian corn was also lower. The market for praiisions continued depressed for all articles. Freights to London : Bacon and lard, 30s. ; oil-cake, 60s. ARRIVAL OF THE AFRICA. By the British and North American Royal Mail steam ship Africa, Captain Harrison, we have intelligence from New York ta the 17th instant. The Africa left New York at 0.18 p.m. on the 17th, and reached the Mersey at 10 p.m. on Sunday. She brought upwards of 150 passengers, and $300,000 in specie on freight. On the 17th instant, shortly after leaving New York, the Afriea•observed a large ship on fire, on Staten Island, with her masts gone, and a steamer alongside. On the 18th she passed the barque Woodbine and the steamer Europa ; and on Sunday, at 6.30 a.m., she saw the Niagara; and at 5.30 p.m., passed the Arctic. During the voyage a fireman accidentally fell among the machinery, and re ceived very severe injuries. A subscription among the passengers for the benefit of the unfortunate man, realized upwards of £4O. The United States steam-ship Atlantic arrived at New York, from this port, on the 15th instant. The steam-ship Washington, from Bremen and South ampton, arrived at New York on the 14th instant. The Washington had arrived at New York with the crew and passengers of the Boston and Liverpool emigrant ship Winchester, which foundered on the 3d instant, after experiencing for many days a severe storm. The gale carried away her fore, main, and mizenmasts, and swept three seamen from the rigging, who were drowned. At this critical period the steam-ship Washington, from Southampton for New York, bore down, and after lying by her for nearly two days, Captain Fitch sent one of his officers with four men, in his largest life-boat, to endea vour to take off the sufferers. They neared the vessel, and had almost reached her side when the boat was cap sized, and the crew of the sinking ship had to haul their deliverers on the deck of the Winchester, which they reached in a very exhausted state. After repeated efforts the Washington took off four hundred and forty-five pas sengers, together with over thirty of the crew. But four lives were lost by this disaster. _ The damage occasioned by the sinking of the Ericsson was estimated at upwards of about $70,000. According to the New York Evening Post, Mr. Webb, the shipbuilder, had resolved, under the advice of high authority, to continue the construction of the Russian man-of-war now on the stocks. The House of Representatives was still discussing the Nebraska Question. Two persons had been arrested in Boston, charged with smuggling from seven to ten thousand dollars worth of watches and jewellery by the steam-ship Canada, on her recent voyage from Liverpool. A terrible explosion occurred at a coal-pit near Rich mond, Va., on the 15th instant, caused by leaks from old fire damps, by which nineteen men were killed, and one shockingly injured. Several explosions had occurred before in the same pit, which was six hundred feet deep. The Governor of Cuba had officially denied the reported existence of a treaty between Spain and France for the emancipation of the slaves. A letter from Mexico city, dated the 3d instant, says, "The position of the President of the Republic is critical in the extreme. Supposing he had succeeded in driving Alvarez out of. his mountain fastnesses near Acapulco, Santa Anna had nearly fallen into the snare laid for him by Alvarez, who, by the strategous manoeuvre, has placed himself between the capital (Mexico) and the forces of Santa Anna, whose supplies are thus entirely cut off, and his men are fast falling victims to the effects of want and the climate. It is also known to the Government that Alvarez had captured upwards of four hundred mules laden with baggage and provisions for the use of the forces under Santa Anna. Queretaro is in a state of revolution, and it is impossible not to foresee that this capital is about to follow in the same wake. The arrival of Lieutenant John G. Parke, of the United States army, and escort, at Tuzon, department of Sonora, on the 20th February, was officially known in the city of Mexico on the 26th ultimo. He will trace the northern boundary, or, rather, limits and bounds, between the two countries. Advices from Venezuela to the 25th ult. state that the act emancipating the slaves went into operation on the day specified, and created much attention. The slaves, after the promulgation of the law, went about their usual avoca tions as if not at all gratified by the interference. Much indignation existed at Caraccas among the merchants re specting the act prohibiting all claims by foreigners for indemnity for losses by revolutions. Coffee, ordinary quality, 11c. to 11fc.; hides, 14c. per lb.; cocoa, $2l to $22.60 per 1101bs. COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE, NEW YORK, MAY 17. THE MONEY MARKET is quite easy, and stocks, which for a long time have been extremely depressed, begin now to feel the improvement. A falling off in the demand for money for.railways and from other sources is noticeable, which, with the moderate wants of the trading classes, enables the banks and bankers to strengthen their posi tions for the future. It is from the diminished demand that has in part contributed to the enhanced supply. First-class business paper is scarce, and is held at 8 to 9 per cent. Money can be obtained upon favourite col laterals, payable on demand, or at 30 days, at 7 per cent. The ease thus noticed does not apply, however, to the large quantities of names on the market, which are offered at 12 to 18 per cent., or upon many kinds of stock securi ties which cannot be placed for loans except through a stock-broker. COTTON.—(From W. P. Wright's Circular, of May 17.) —We haVe had a very fair inquiry for cotton during last week ; the demand has run chiefly on grades of strict middling and above, whether for export or home con sumption ; and as the stock of these qualities is limited, holders have been quite firm in their demands, and the quotations show an improvement of lc per lb. since the 9th inst. ; qualities below strict middling are difficult to sell, and the value is not so easily determined ; variations of ic., and sometimes lc., will occur on the same day. On Monday afternoon, after receipt of letters per Atlantic, the market became dull. Yesterday the sales were re ported at 3,700 bales, with an irregular market, the ten dency being in favour of buyers. The sales reported to-day market were 3,753 bales ; theclosing steadily at the annexed quotations : NEW YORK CLASSIFICATION. N. Orleans. Up:ands. Florida. Mobile. & Texas.

NEW ORLEANS, MAY n.—Our market for two days past has been less active than usual, the total sales not exceedinc , 12,500 liales, at Be. for middling. The decrease in receipts at all southern ports is now estimated at 471,000 bales. Freight to Liverpool has advanced to ld. THE WAR. Continual attempts are made by the Wallachians to destroy the artillery and ammunition depots of the Russians at Fokschan. On the 4th "a laid fire was extin• guished with great difficulty," and another again on the 6th. The Triester Zietung learns from Trebizond that orders have now been issued to destroy the fortifications of Theodosia, "and neither to till nor sow any part of the coast of the Crimea." The Wallachian peasants appear resolved to burn the Russians out of the country, as they can find no other means of getting rid of them. A maga zine at Kalaritsh, containing 8,000 pud of flour, has just been burned down ; and in the Jalomnitza district all the hay which the Russians had collected has been destroyed. Official reports, dated May 6, from Prevesa, announce that on the sth a sanguinary battle was fought by the troops commanded by the Fuad Effendi, against the Greeks under General Tzavellas, in the village of Peta not far from. Prevesa. On both sides the men fought with determined bravery, but the victory was decided in favour of the' Turks. After many hours' severe fighting the Greeks fled in disorder, suffering great loss. The Otto man troops seized six chests of cartridges, 83 barrels of powder, 20 carbines„ 6 pair of epaulettes, 27 swords, 18 trumpets, 5 cases of conical rifle balls, and 60 wounded and 16 sound prisoners • amongst the latter the famous leader Antoakis Calomogdarti, and Captain Spiro of the infantry. Captain Ali Aga accompanied these trophies on board the Taif steamer to Constantinople, to present them to the Minister of War. The Greeks left 200 dead upon the field of battle, and 20 horses. The number of wounded is not known. The insurgents have - also been beaten in various encounters in the neighbourhood of Amiro. _ . News has been received to the 11th inst. from the Black Sea. The two fleets were then cruising off Sebastopol, the Crimea, Batoum, and in other parts of the Black Sea. There was then so intense a fog that the flag-ships were continually firing guns to inform the rest of the fleet of their position from time to time. No naval engagement had taken place. Advice.; from St. Petersburgh of the 12th inst. repre sent the Emperor's last ukase, requiring fresh recruits for both army and navy, as his manner of replying to the in formation that General von Grunwald lately brought him from Vienna. This calling out of fresh recruits for the reserve levies, first of all, nine in the thousand souls in the eastern provinces, to set them even with the western provinces, and three in the thousand more, making alto gether 12. Of the Jews, who have to contribute their flesh and blood on every occasion of a levy of recruits, ten out of every thousand are to be made food for heretical powder in defence of the orthodox faith. The levy is to commence on the 27th of July, and be concluded in a month. _ . _ Accounts were received at Constantinople on the 15th that the Russians, unable, on account of the blockade, to defend the sea-board of Circassia, had evacuated all their positions frorußatoum to Anapa—an extent of 200 leagues. They burned all their own forts, and retired to Kutais, in the interior. The Circassians came down from the mountains and took possession of all the posts which the Russians had occupied, making prisoners 1,500 men, whom they surprised at Sukkum-Kaleh. The Circassians had proclaimed a provisional government, under the presi dency of a brother-in-law of Schamyl. A private letter from St. Petersburgh states that Count Neuelrecle has been recently insulted by the people of that capital. On passing through the streets in his carriage he was hissed, hooted, and menaced, and was forced to take refuge in the house of a friend. He was accused by the people of being the cause of the war, of not having taken sufficient care to provide against its casualties, and of having shown indifference and negligence. Bat what ever be the cause the symptoms of popular indignation were not to be mistaken. The letter which relates these facts proceeds from a Russian lady of high rank, who re counted them to a friend, with the deepest sorrow, as indicative of future troubles. It is probable that the in habitants of St. Petersbnrgh have already begun to feel more severely than the peasants of the interior the evils which war brings with it. They are nearer to those parts which are most exposed to hostilities, and they must be among the first to suffer. But it is certain that much fer mentation prevails in the capital of the Russian empire. The Odessa Messenger (a journal of General Osten- Sacken's) states that the reason any people were killed at Odessa at all was, that the inhabitants could not resist rushing to see a young artillery officer, Stchegeleff, de fending the place with one cannon against the whole of the enemy's fleet ! ! ! The treaty of alliance destined to guarantee the inte grity and independence of the Ottoman empire, between France, Great Britain, and Turkey, which was ratified on the Bth of May, has been published at length in the Mani tear. It opens with the assertion that, being fully per suaded that the existence of the Ottoman empire within its actual limits is essential to the maintenance of the ba lance of power between the states of Europe, the Emperor of the French and the Queen of England have determined to unite in repelling the aggression by which the integrity and independence of the Sultan's empire and throne are menaced. To this end naval and land forces have been despatched, both of which the Sultan agrees shall have friendly reception and consideration, it being understood that they maintain the strictest discipline, and respect Turkish laws and property. The high contracting parties engage to communicate reciprocally to each other, without loss of time, every proposition received from the Emperor of Russia, directly or indirectly, with a view to the cessa tion of hostilities, of an armistice, or peace ; and the Sul tan engages to conclude no armistice, and to enter into no negotiation for peace with the Emperor of Russia, without the knowledge and consent of the high contracting parties So soon as a treaty of peace is concluded, all English and. French military forces are to be withdrawn, and all Tur kish forces (provisionally occupied) restored within the space of forty days from the exchange of ratifications. The Ottoman authorities engage not to exercise the least con trol, civil or military, over the movements of the auxiliary armies, but to aid them all in their power. It is under stood, however, that the general plan of the campaign shall be discussed and agreed upon between the comman ders-in-chief of the three armies, and that if a considerable part of the allied troops should be in line with the Ottoman troops, no operation shall be executed against the enemy without having been previously concerted by the allied commanders. The offensive and defensive treaty between Austria and Prussia signed on the 20th of April, at Berlin, is pub lished. Its contents have already been anticipated. It provides for mutual support in case of either country being attacked. The august Courts of Austria and Prussia are united, " to avoid all participation in the war, if possible," and " to aid in the establishment of a general peace." If Russia still refuses to withdraw her troops from the Principalities, then an attack on the terri tory of one or other of the high contracting parties shall be repelled by the other by all the military force at its disposal. " An offensi v e ac ti on on th e part of both would, however, be first occasioned by the incorporation of the Principalities, or through an attack or passage of the Balkan on the part of Russia." TUE Loss OF TUE TIGER.—The Journal d'Odessa states that, on the 12th of May, the Tiger, of 1,375 tons burthen, and mounting 16 guns, which stranded at seven wersts from Odessa, was forced to surrender before the Vesuvius and Niger could come to her assistance. Her captain (Giffard) lost one leg, a midshipman both, and five men were wounded. 226 prisoners were taken. The Rus sians had two officers wounded and two soldiers killed. As the vessel could not be removed, she was set on fire and sank the same day. Some of her guns were taken as trophies to Odessa. The following is the official list of officers on board :—Captain H. W. Giffard ; Lieutenants Alfred Royer, Alexander Hamilton, and W. E. Stone master, Francis Ediugton ; first lieutenant marine artillery, R. T. Ansell ; surgeon, A. J. Doraville ; paymaster, G. A. Lance ; mate, C. H. Wilki nson ( ac ti ng ) ; assistant-surgeon, Edmond Lawless; second master, John C. Solfleet ; clerks, John G. Barnes and N. G. Simmonds.—The Russian Inca tide gives the subjoined report from General Osten-Sacken relative to this catastrophe :—" I hasten to lay before your highness (Prince Paskiewitsch) the flag and jack of the British steam-frigate Tiger, of 400 horse-power. It ran aground, was set on fire, and blown up, as it was im possible to get it afloat and bring it into the harbour, becans6 two other steamers prevented the attempt. The following are the details :—This morning, May 12, the frigate, which came in the direction from Sebastopol, got ashore near Kartazzi, about six wersts (four and'-a quarter miles) from Odessa. Two position field-pieces (18 or 12 pounders) of No. 2 battery, 16th brigade, under Lieut. Abakomnolf, arrived from the Lustdorf colony be fore the other two steamers could assist the Tiger, and, supported by two companies of the Dnieper reserve infantry regiment and a platoon of lancers of Count Neketine's regiment, opened their fire with such precision that, after the vessel had received several shots, and its captain had lost his foot, she was forced to surrender. The enemy's shot flew harmlessly over the battery (evidently from the vessel lying on her beam), the colours were hauled down, and the lieutenant, who had taken the com mand, presented himself before me and declared his crew prisoners of war. By my orders lie sent his boats and crew ashore, and laid down his and their arms. They and their wounded, five in number, were sent to the quaran tine. Meanwhile eight pieces of the light position battery No. 2 (12-pounders), and the horse battery No. 11, arrived from Odessa, with a battalion of the Sonzdal reserve regiment ; and the reserve battalion of the Ukraine light infantry, with two squadrons of Archduke Ferdinand's lancers, reached the shore. The enemy's wounded were not yet removed before two enemy's steamers were ob served through the fog. As no means were at hand to float the surrendered vessel, and get her into port, and as more enemy's vessels might also arrive at any moment, I ordered the stranded ship to be set on fire wit's ..7Tint. The two steamers of the enemy came within gun-range, and opened their fire upon our batteries. Colonel Grauowitch maintained such a well-directed fire during two hours with twelve pieces, that the enemy's ships were compelled to retire out of range, much damaged. Two men and three horses of the reserve battery were killed. Colonel Flenski and Lieutenant Smirnoff, of the 2nd Light Infantry and 10th Brigade, received contusions. We have made prisoners Captain Girard, twenty-four officers (and warrant officers), with 201 seamen and marines. The Tiger was armed with sixteen Paixham's. At half-past seven, p.m., she was completely burned?' The midshipman on board the Tiger who lost both his legs in resisting the capture of that vessel by the Russians is a son of Mr. G. H. Wilkinson, the Recorder of Newcastle. Up to Satur day night no official intimation of the loss of the Tiger had reached the Admiralty. There is too much reason, however, to conclude that the statements, coming from so many quarters, are but too true. The Trieste Zeitung says that the ultimatum to Greece demands the observance of a strict neutrality, and the punishment of all those who have joined the rebellion ; the immediate recall of all civil and military officers who haVe joined it, and the refusal to re-admit into the public service those who had resigned office, or left to join the insurgents. If these categorical demands are not granted by the 22nd, the throne to be declared vacant, and a new Government established. MONEY MATTERS IN Rusms.—The letters from St. Petersburg and Odessa on Saturday contain nothing new except that the exchanges at both places were higher. A case which has just transpired seems to indicate that specie payments in Russia are wholy suspended. A certain amount in bills payable at St. Petersburg was remitted from London a short time back to an eminent house in that city, with instructions that they should forward the proceeds in specie to Odessa, but it appeared that they refused to do so, and would send nothing but paper money:__ _ The Holyrood, screw-steam hired transport, Comman der Lovett, arrived at Sheerness on Wednesday from the Baltic fleet. Commander Lovett left Sir Charles Napier with his flagship The Duke of Wellington, and his squadron, cruising N.N.E. of the Island of Gottska Saudoe distant about 30 miles. No attempts up to the 16th inst. (the day on which the Holyrood left the fleet) had been made to attack either Revel, the Island of Aland, or any other Russian port. The English fleets were then waiting the arrival of the French fleet, and no operations are anticipated until the fleets unite. Only one French line-of-battle ship had joined Sir Charles Napier's squadron, but the whole of the French fleet were daily expected. On the 17th inst. the Royal George, 120 guns, sent a boat alongside the Holyrood for information, and she reported having passed six sail of the line of the French fleet on the previous day. The Holyrood has brought home 61 invalids from the fleet; 63 were sent on board, but two seamen (invalids) died on the passage home ; one died on the 17th, and the other on the 22nd, from the effects of intermittent fever. A notice from the General Post-office informs the public that—" Her Majesty's Government, having made arrange ments for keeping up a weekly communication between the British fleet in the Baltic and the port of Dantzic, by wails of a steam-vessel to be detached from the fleet for the purpose, mails will hereafter be forwarded weekly to Dantzic for transmission by that vessel. The mails will be made up and despatched from London every Tuesday evening. Upon officers' letters the following combined British and foreign rates of postage must be paid in ad vance, viz :—Not exceeding half-an-ounce in weight, Bd.; exceeding half-an-ounce, and not exceeding one ounce, ls. 4d. ; exceeding one ounce and not exceeding two ounces, 2s. Bd.; and so on, according to the scale for charging in land letters. Ordinary soldiers' and seamen's letters, posted in conformity with the usual regulations, may be forwarded via Dantzic provided a combined British and foreign rate of postage of sd. be paid in advance. News papers cannot be sent by this route. Letter s f or so ldi ers and seamen serving in the British fleet in the Baltic may still be forwarded, under the usual regulations, for a postage of ld., by her Majesty's ships proceeding from England; but such opportunities will necessarily be uncertain. _ MILITARY ITEms.—The 22nd and 96th Regiments, now stationed in the Bengal presidency, arc to be relieved this autumn by the 27th and 35th Regiments. The whole of the regiments §tatioued in Turkey are to be completed to an establishment of 1,000 men. The 3linie Rifle muskets, now in the possession of depots and regi ments at home, are to be given over to the reinforcements embarking , for Turkey. Several regiments are to have an establishment of 1,400 strong. The 63d is one that has been selected. Ten companies are for foreign service, leaving a depot of four companies at home. Camp equip ments are ordered to be served out to the troops in the five military districts in Ireland to commence practising on the Ist of June next. A very extensive brevet will shortly take place. It will be the last of the kind, and, therefore,take in every officer whose position gives him any thing like a claim to advancement. All vacancies will after wards be filled up as they occur on the seniority principle. Several regiments of Militia will be called out for permanent service, as they shall be required, to replace the regular troops of the line. The Essex Rifles are the first en trusted with garrison duty. They have taken up their quarters in the Tower of London, under the command of Lord Jocelyn, the Hampshire Militia, under the Marquis TUESDAY, MAY 30, 1854. of Worcester, will strengthen the large and import a n t / garrison of Portsmouth. The Devonshire Militia it march to Plymouth. The Staffordshire Militia will ga r , rison Dover. The Royal Berkshire will occupy Weed(Ti Barrack, previous to th e i r remova l t o th e R o y a l Burgh u j Windsor. The Lancashire and Yorkshire regiments , h e some of those in the metropolitan counties, are in „ be highest state of training and efficie n cy, and amongst the first called out. The order for the incree. of the Infantry of the line has been issued from th' t Horseguards. Each regiment will h ence f or th consist 4 1 1,400 effective men ; 1,000 for active service abroad , an : 400 to compose the reserve companies at home. . c ; brevet for the army will b e i mme di a t e l y issued, ' rill ., 11 will enable several of the older officers th retire upon higher rank. APPREHENSIONS OF INVASION AT ST. PETERSBURG. Mr. Frederick Bucknall, a son o f M r . W. B uc k na ll, the Late eminent Bristol firm of Bucknall and Spark, has J — e returned from St. Petersburg, where he had been for years occupying a responsible p os iti on i n conn exion 1f.,. 1° one of the largest mercantile firms there, and from the it counts which Mr. Bucknall b r i ngs with him it is evld e that, in high circles, the possibility of an attack by' t he combined forces on the capital of Russia itself is serioss4l entertained. Amongst the masses of th e c ity a superst i tious confidence in the succes s f u l i ssue o f th e war g eneral prevails. This is founded on th e w id e ly s p rea d belief genera the war is a religious one, undertaken for religious objee,t s; and it leads to a confiden ce th a t G o d b e i ng w ith the M I. peror must prevail. The Imperial Muscovite himself dr , : t not appear to be so well at ease. It is understood t. 4 the commandant of the importa n t f or t ress o f C rons tadtr informed him that, although of great strength, it is not f i ; pregnable. The Emperor is ob v io us ly ver y anx i o us on matter, for he goes himself to Cronstadt twice or thric e it week, and every effort is being employed to strengtkel; ( as far as possible. Meanwhile the imperial city is 07, crowded by troops which are con ti nua ll y pouring. in s , large masses. The barrack s b e i ng a ll crow d e d they 1 1 quartered on the inhabitants, to th e i r ver y ev ident great annoyance. Mr. Bucknall saw a body of 1,500 T o sacks marching towards the capital, which is of i tself significant mark of th e feeling of the government, , troops of that class are rarely if ever employed in the T a , p. Many of the nobility and leading families are quitr, their town residences, and retiring into the interior, T ie rying with them their plate, jewels, and other portau!., property of value, and the English, French, and OA foreign residents were quitting in such numbers that It: Bucknall had to wait for six weeks before he could a t ; place by the conveyance, which runs twice a week ll be St. Petersburg to Tukun. As a further evidence of r , apprehension felt touching an invasion of the capital, Bucknall noticed that some houses on th e s id e o f the b ye were being pulled down and defences erected opposite main part of St. Petersburg.
