GREAT FIRE IN BELFAST. " Messrs. MUsORAVE, BROTHERs.—GENTLEMEN,—At your request, I beg to state, for the information of the public, that •he only property saved from the late fire, in the premises of Thomas S. Major and Co., was that contained in one of Milner's , Patent Safes. From the intense nature of the fire, and the length of time the Safe was exposed to the action of the flames, I was fully convinced of the destruction of the books and papers it contained ; and feel very great pleasure in testify ing to this extraord" nary instance of their preservation. I may add, that the Safe was placed ou 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. "SIR S Last night our Premises were entered by burglars, who made a desperate attempt upon the Milners' Holdfast Safi. 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 — she opening of the Safe they found quite impra cticable. " We are happy to he enabled to express our unqualified approbation of the Safe; we believe it is impregnable to thieves, "If our verbal testimony will be of service to you, you are at liberty to refer to us, and to make any use you please of this coromunication.—Yours respectfully, " BUTTERWORTH and BROOKES.

They are more particularly recom mended for the following complaints, viz., indigestion, loss of appetite, flatulency, acidity, heartburn, headache, giddiness, dimness of sight, costiveness, all bilious complaints from whatever cause, cutaneous eruptions and impurity of the blood generally. For correcting the system after indulging too freely in the luxuries of the table they will be found eminently successful, and where the system is suffering from excess of any kind they are very efficacious : As a general Family and Antibilious Medicine, Woolley's Pills are acknow ledged to be one of the most valuable preparations ever intro duced. They contain no mercury, antimony, or any delete rious mineral or drastic purgative, but are composed entirely of herbs of a medicinal nature which act directly on the stomach and liver, freeing them from the various disorders to which they are subject. To Emigrants to all parts of the world, but more particularly if leaving a moderate or cold climate for a hot one (which will almost invariably be found to affect the 1 bilious system) these pills are invaluable. All about to un ! dertake a sea voyage will find them the best preventive to sea sickness; and, if taken according to the directions, they at the same time prepare the system to resist any injurious 1 effects incident on change of climate. The following are selected from amongst the many thousand cures yearly effected by Woolley's Antibilious Pills :—Mr. E. ALLCORN, in writing Mr. Sanders under date November 16, 1852, says :—" I have found them (Woolley's Antibilious Pills) such an excellent aperient, that in all the common ailments which are so often recurring in a family, I have invariably adopted them, and also recommended them to my friends." To Mr. J. J. Sanders—" Dear sir,—l have taken your ' Wool ley's Antibilious Pills' for some time, and found them to be very beneficial to my health and useful in my family.—Yours, respectfully, Mrs. WYLES, Borden, near Sittingbourne, March 4, 1854."

SCOTTISH EQUITABLE LIFE ASSUR ANCE SOCIETY. The TWENTY-THIRD ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING of this SOCIETY was held, at Edinburgh, on 2nd May, 1854, WM. STUART WALKER, Esq., of Bowland, in the Chair. The Report read to the Meeting, and which was unani mously approved of, contained the following particulars : The number of Policies issued during the year ending Ist March is 620, the Sums assured thereby being .282,715, giving an addition to the Income in Annual Premiums of The Policies lapsed by death during the year are 84, the Sums Assured by which amount to £49,830, and the Bonus Additions to £8,482, making together £ 58,332. In comparing these sums with the amounts for the preceding year, they exhibit an increase of 17 in the number of New Policies, and of about £6,000 in the Sums Assured. The increase, though of moderate amount, must be considered satisfactory, especially when regard is had to the great com petition which now exists in the business of Life Assurance. The number of Policies lapsed by death is four under that of last year, and the amount payable nearly .47,000 less. Keeping in view the additions made to the business, and the increased age of the Members of the Society, these are most gratifying circumstances. The Sums remaining Assured amount to .e 4,234,598 ; The Annual Revenue amounts to .t'152,615 ; And the Accumulated Fund is increased to £839,354. Copies of the Report, and all other information, may be had on application at the Head Office or Agencies. VIEW OF THE PROGRESS AND SITUATION OF THE SOCIETY.

TESTIMONIAL FROM BOSTON, UNITED STATES. To Mr. MOUT, 229, Strand, London.—Dear Sir,—The annexed from a rheumatic patient I forward to you in case it should be of any use.—Yours, BRAY and HAYES. • Boston, Nov. 23, 1853. " I have been a great sufferer from inflammatory rheumatism more or less during the past twelve years ; I was confined to my bed for three months at a time in quite a helpless condi tion. I have been under the care of some of the most distin guished members of the medical faculty in Boston, New York, Philadelphia, and Baltimore, but have never been able to get relief for any length of time until I was induced by a friend to try Blair's Pills, which I found to he quite effica cious. Since then I have not suffered from rheumatic pain. "Boston, Oct. 20, 1853. " ELISHA I. PITTS." FURTHER PROOF OF THE EFFICACY OF BLAIR'S GOUT AND RHEUMATIC PILLS, forwarded by Mr. \V. 11. Taylor, Warminster :—" Wm. Penny, of Corton. near Warminster, Wilts, was afflicted with rheumatism to such an extent that he could not move hand or foot ; he was recommended by a gentleman to try Blair's Pills, and accordingly procured a box at Mr. Taylor's, of Warminster, from which he derived so much benefit that he sent for another, which effected a com plete cure."—John J. Giles, Esq., of Frimley, near Bagshot, says : " Having suffered much from acute rheumatism, I was induced to try your Blair's Pills, and beg to bear my humble testimony to their efficary."—Mr. Wm. Courtney, of Barton Stacey, Hants, says: "I had resort to your pills, and within two hours I was quite easy. The use of these pills ought really to be known all over the world." Among the many discoveries that characterise this eventful age, nothing has conferred such a boon upon suffering humanity as that important discovery for Gout and Rheu matism, BLAIR'S GOUT and RHEUMATIC PILLS ; they require neither attention nor confinement, and are certain to prevent the disease attacking any vital part.—Sold by all Medicine Vendors. Price 2s. 9d. per box.—Observe that " Thomas Prout, 229, Strand, London," is impressed upon the Government Stamp. PAINS IN THE BACK, GRAVEL, LUMBAGO, RHEUMATISM . , GOUT, HEADACHE, NERVOUSNESS, DEBILITY, &c. DR. DE ROOS' COMPOUND RENAL PILLS (as their name Renal, or the Kidneys, indicates) have been long established as a most safe and efficacious remedy for the above dangerous complaints, Discharges of any kind, and Diseasesof the Kidneys and organs therewith connected gene rally, &c., which, if neglected, frequently end in a lingering painful death. For Depression of Spirits, Excitement, Dis like of Society, Incapacity for Study or Business, Loss of Memory, Confusion, Giddiness, Blood to the Head, Drowsi ness, Sleep without refreshment, Nervousness, and even In sanity itself, they are unequalled. Possessing tonic proper ties, they agree with the most delicate stomach, strengthen the digestive organs, increase the appetite, and improve the general health. They require neither confinement nor change of diet, and, as experience has amply proved, they will effect a cure when mercury and all other dangerous medicines have failed. One Trial will convince the most sceptical of their surprising properties. Mr. tetellier, Etruria, Potteries.—" Your Renal Pills have. done wonders with me and others to whom I have recom mended them." H. C., Post-office, Stafford.—" Your Renal Pills are a most splendid medicine." J. Murphy, 70, Upper Sterin-street, Dublin.—" I never met the like of them before, they are really a surprising medicine."' T. Webster, Esq.,Sealford, Melton Mowbray.—" Your valu able Renal Pills have done good to every one I gave them to." Mr. Thos. Williams, at Mr. Hutchings, baker, King-street,'. Chelsea.—" I was persuaded to try your most beautiful Pills, and am happy to inform you I have received more benefit from them than from any of the medical men in London." W. Chartres, Esq., Newport, Mayo.—" I have a degree of I mental energy and vigour such as I did not feel these two years. My memory is wonderfully improved, so that I can recollect all the events of each day with the greatest degree of clearness. It is astonishing how I got out of such awful suf ferings, but I think I owe it altogether to the use of your Pills." PERSONS GOING ABROAD, CAPTAINS and OTHERS, cannot store more important articles of health than the above, which, by regulating the Stomach and Bowels, and tranquil lizing the Nervous System, will prevent those fatal diseases so prevalent abroad, as also Sea Sickness and - other complaints incidental to long voyages and irregular living. No Emi grant's Chest can be properly furnished without them, for when far removed from medical aid, they will find in these Pills a never-failing restorative. IMPOETANT.—Some unprincipled Vendors, when asked for Dr. DE ROOS' PILLS., have attempted to foist upon the public other Medicines or trash of their own compounding, from which they obtain a larger profit. The GENUINE have the words, " WALTER DE ROOS, LONDON," in white letters on a red ground, printed in the Stamp affixed to each box; by special direction of Her Majesty's Honourable Commis sioners, to protect the Public from Fraud, and to imitate which is felony. May be obtained through all Medicine Vendors, at is. lid., 2s. Pd., 4s. 6d., Ils., and 335. per Box, with full directions for use; or by enclosing Post-office Order or Stamps to Dr. DE ROOS, 35, ELY-PLACE, HOLBORN -HILL, LONDON, they will be sent per return.

H EALTH RESTORED! !—HOLLOWAY'S PILLS. AN ASTONISHING CURE OF CHRONIC RHEUMATISM, AFTER BEING' DISCHARGED FROM THE HOSPITAL INCURA BLE.—Copy of a letter from Mr. VV. Moon, of the Square, Winchester :—" To Professor Holloway.—Sir,—l beg to in. form you that for years I was a sufferer from Chronic Rheumatism, and was often laid up for weeks together by its severe and painful attacks. I tried every thing that was recommended, and was attended by one of the most eminent Surgeons in this town, but obtained no relief whatever, and fearing that my health would be entirely broken up. I was induced to go into our County Hospital, where I had the best medical treatment the institution afforded, all of which proved of no avail, and I came out no better than I went in. I was then advised to usesour , Pills, and by persevering with them was perfectly cured, and enabled to resume my occupa. tion ; and although a considerable period has elapsed, I have felt no'retnrn whatever of the complaint.—l am, Sir, &c., " Oct.

Pills command a more extensive sale than any other proprietary medicine before the public. As a proof of their efficacy in bilious and liver complaints t l may mention the following case. A lady of this town, with whom I am personally acquainted, for years was a severe sufferer from disease of the liver and digestive organs. Her medical at endant assured her that he could do nothing to relieve her sufferings, and it was not likely she could survive many months. This announcement naturally caused great alarm among her friends and relations, and they induced her to make a trial of your Pills, which so improved her general health that she was induced to continue them until she re ceived a perfect cure. This is twelve months ago, and she has not experienced any symptoms of relapse, and often de clares that your Pills have been the means of saving her life. -- I remain, dear Sir, yours truly, " Nov. 23rd. 1852."

Briggs, chemist, Goole, dated Feb. 15, 1853 :—" To Professor Holloway.—Sir,—l have much pleasure in informing you of a most surprising cure of dropsy, recently effected by your valuable medicines. Capt. Jackson, of this place, was afflicted with dropsy for upwards of IS months. to such an extent that it caused his body and limbs to be much swollen, and water oozed as it were from his skin, so that a daily change of ap parel became necessary. Notwithstanding the various reme dies tried, and the different medical men consulted, all was of no avail, until he commenced using your Pills, by which, and a strict attention to the printed directions, he was effec tually cured, and his health perfectly re-established.

More than half of Wednesday's Moniteur was filled with a report by M. de Persigny, the Minister of the Interior, upon the state of the nation. It is a carefully prepared document, and one destined very possibly to occupy a page in history. At the present moment, however, foreign affairs are all absorbing, and any discussion upon internal matters is not likely to create much interest. The strong point of the government is the fact that the French people are content to be governed by the Emperor's will ; and M. de Persigny argues further that the present mode of rule will bear examination, besides being proved to be ex cellent by its eacts. RUSSIA. The aspect of affairs at St. Petersburg seems to promise that overtures for peace may not be very much longer de layed. We find the following in the Russian intelligence of a morning journal :—" It is stated from St. Petersburg that the Czar finding that Prince Paskiewitsch succeeds no better than did Prince Gortschakoff, on the Danube, has sent General Prince Dolgorukoff, his Minister of War, to the Principalities, to satisfy himself of the real cause of failure. Private letters state that in his intercourse with his Aide-de-Camp and chief military officers, the Czar gives full scope to his feelings of irritation and disappoint ment, and renews the bitter reflections on the character of Russian functionaries which were so common in the mouth of the late Emperor Alexander. To others, however, the Czar assumes a tone more confident than ever, speaks of the noble spectacle of calm, majestic self-reliance which Russia is about to present to the world, and promises the most glorious results for the Russian arms." Letters received, vid Hamburg, state that the Czar was unable, in consequence of ill health, to accept the invita tion to an interview with the King of Prussia. TURKEY. Despatches from Constantinople to the 15th, state that the treaty between Austria and the Porte, stipulating the eventual occupation of the Principalities by the former, had just been signed. The reasons of the late change in the Turkish ministry are now fully understood. It appears that if Reschid Pacha retires from the Foreign Office, it is solely on ac count of ill health and domestic afflictions, which incapa citate him for the routine of official duty. He remains, however, at the council, and wholly directs the department of foreign affairs, where Chekib Effendi is his deputy, and not his substitute. INDIA AND CHINA. The steamer Bombay, Captain A. Olovisch, arrived at Trieste, from Alexandria, at 51 a.m., on Saturday, in 111 hours. .ALEXANDRIA June 19. , The Candia leaves this day, with advices from Calcutta, 16th May ; Madras, 21st ; Hong Kong, 6th ; Singapore, 15th ; Penang, 18th ; Galle, 26th ; Bombay, 23rd ; Bur mah, 3rd. The electric telegraph between Bombay and Calcutta is completed. On the 23rd of April a hurricane in Pegn caused much loss of life and property. Serious riots by Chinese have occurred at Singapore. Exchange.—Shanghai, 68 ; Canton, 52. AUSTRALIA. The ship Prince of the Seas, 1450 tons, Captain Brown, laden with wool and timber, was off the Lizard on Friday, and landed a mail at Penzance. She has 20 cabin and 30 steerage passengers, and sailed from Sydney on the 25th March, three days after the departure of the steam-ship Chusan. Her passengers report that business was not brisk at Sydney. Governor Fitzroy and suite were at Port Curtis, to open that new settlement for the embarka tion of produce, where land had already been making a high price, as much as £3OO having been given for small water frontages. Labour is in great demand, especially for agricultural purposes, and the settlement of respectable families is much retarded through the deficiency of good domestic servants. Labourers' wages, 10s. per day ; painters' wages have recently risen from 12s. 6d. to 155.; carpenters, 20s. and 255. ; stonemasons', 30s. • seamen, £9 to £lO per month. Those on board the Prince of the Seas will receive £5O for the run to England. Some fears are entertained of the safety of the colonies from attack by the Russians. It is calculated that the banks hold nearly £5,000,000 in specie. The Nile was loading wool, and would leave Sydney about the 7th of April. The steam-ship Golden Age, running between Port Philip and Sydney, had accomplished one passage in 40 hours. The Crcesus was hourly expected. AMERICA. ARRIVAL OF THE ASIA. By the British and North American Royal Mail Steam ship Asia, Captain Lott, which reached here on Sunday, we have intelligence from New York to the 14th instant. The Asia left New York, at noon, on the 14th, and arrived in the Mersey at 8 20, a.m., on Sunday morning, after a run of about ten days and-a-alf. She brought 154 passengers, and $767,972 in specie on freight. The Royal Mail steam-ship Arabia, Captain Harrison, arrived at New York at nine, p.m. on the 13th, after a passage of ten days and-a-half. The United States Mail Steam-ship Pacific, Captain Nye, arrived, hence, at New York, at nine, p.m., on the 11th instant. The brig Sayman had arrived at Portland, and reported as follows :—"'On the 6th instant, lat. 37, lon. 70, 10, a.m., discovered, at considerable distance to leeward, what appeared to be a steam-ship ; at 5, p.m., she was again seen ; she looked like one of the Liverpool steamers, and appeared to be abandoned; they bore down for her, but the wind soon died away, and the fog shut down thick, when they lost sight of her ; she was not to be seen the next morning. Captain P. thinks it was the City of Glasgow, but was not near enough to ascertain with certainty." Official despatches have been received at the Navy Department, from Commodore Perry, confirming the intelligence of the opening of the Japanese ports at a future day. A clergyman bad been arrested at Boston charged with being engaged in the recent fugitive slave riot. Rumours were beginning to prevail of the intention of the Slave States to dissolve the Union. The steam-ship, William Norris, recently launched at New York, was to be put on the California line. This vessel was constructed to run to. Europe in six days. Captain Cornish, of the British ship Mohongo, had been presented with a silver speaking-trumpet, for his kindness towards the shipwrecked crew of the American ship Argo, in April last. President Pierce and several officials had been hung in effigy at Westfield, Mass., by the Abolitionists. During the ceremony. the church bells were tolled. The judge of the Wisconsin Supreme Court had declared the Fugitive Slave Law unconstitutional, and refused to convict. Advices from Havana, to the Bth instant, mention that it was rumoured in Havana, but not generally credited, that the Spanish steamer Guadalquiver had an action with two schooners off St. Jago de Cuba, which she captured and carried into that port. All was quiet in Havana. Preparations to resist an invasion continued to be made. The steamship Orazaba had arrived at New Orleans with advices from the City of Mexico to the sth. It is reported that the Gadsden treaty had not been accepted by Santa Anna, but returned to Washington with exten sive amendments. The British ship Challenge arrived at Guayamas on the 24th May, from San Francisco, with the 380 men, mostly French, recently enlisted by the Mexican Consul at San Francisco. A tremendous hurricane oc curred in the city of Mexico on the 19th ult., doing con siderable damage. A destructive hurricane had also been experienced at San Luis Potosi. Letters from Porto Rico, of the 27th May, state that the gettting in of the crop was greatly retarded by heavy rains. Freights to England £5 per ton. COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. NEW YORK, 14TH JrNJ.—The money market was well supplied at '7 to 8 per cent. on call loans. First class business paper was taken at the same rates, but second class or more inferior paper ranged from 10 to 15 per cent. Exchange on London, 1091 to 1091 ; Paris, 5.10 to 5.121 ; Bremen, 79-1 to 791. COTTON.—The market was active, at an improvement of tc. The incoming crop was generally estimated at 2,860,000 bales, the range of estimates being still as early advised, 2,800,000 to 2,900,000 bales. RECEIPS, EXPORTS, AND STOCKS OF COTTON SINCE SEPT I.

The prospect of the growing crop is favourable, and the important feature, "a good stand,' is secured. The re ceipts at the ports continued to gain on the corresponding weeks last year. PROVISIONS.—Mess pork was quiet. Lard dull. Beef in good demand and prices improving. A sale of 5,000 brls. of prime mess pork, for the French market, to be de livered immediately, had been made at $l5 per brl. BREADSTIIEFS.—The market for flour was very much depressed, and low and medium grades had declined 25c. to 75e. Southern was 12fc. lower. Corn meal without material change. A slight concession in price for wheat had induced rather more inquiry ; prime scarce, and held with much more firmness, relatively, than the other com mon descriptions. With an increased supply offering prices for Indian corn had receded slightly. The market closed heavily.

Newfoundland. The Cleopatra had no opportunity of set ting canvas from the time of leaving Quebec till within 300 miles of Liverpool, having thus steamed nearly the whole distance. She steamed 240 knots in - 24 hours with out canvas. The Cleopatra brings 46 passengers, and a full cargo of ashes, flour, &c. On the outward passage she encountered fearful weather, and the full fury of the hur ricane of the 17th and 18th April, and put into Portland previous to getting to Quebec. Notwithstanding, she landed the whole of her large cargo in good condition, not a single package damaged by water. THE EARL op BURLINGTON has been ploughing and sowing about 200 acres of land reclaimed from the sea, on Morecombe Bay, in the vicinity of Holker-hall. Several other plots of land have been reclaimed, all promising to make good land. THE WAR. A serious altercation took place on the Bth instant at Constantinople, between some liberty men of the Sidon. and some Austrians in a wine shop. In the melee 0054 the Sidon's men were stabbed (one in the side and one 11 1 the neck), but both were " more frightened than hurt. The cowards who inflicted the wounds escaped, but some Guardsmen who happened to be present left unmistakabl e impressions of their fists upon their countenances. ILLNESS OF TICE CZAR.—Letters received via Hambarg state that the czar was unable, in consequence of ill health' to accept the invitation to an interview with the King of Prussia. It is stated in Berlin that the czar ordered Lieutenant-General Grumwald to proceed to the Prussia?, frontier to compliment his Prussian Majesty. It 19 argued from this that there is no probability of the EV peror arriving there in person.—Globe. RETREAT OF THE RUSSIANS FROM SILISTRIA - On the 16th inst., the garrison of Silistria made a sortie, attacked the Russians on all points, and drove there across the Danube. Pursuing their advantage, the Turks crossed an aril of the river, seized the opposite island, where the enerel had constructed siege works, and from which Silistria had been bombarded. The Russians fled to the Wallachia° bank of the Danube, and were compelled to witness the destruction of their batteries. The Turks then brought out their guns and erected batteries on the Bulgarian bank of the river, before the north face of the fortress. The Russian battalions east and west of Silistria mediately began to recross the river, destroying their bridges as they withdrew. The garrison on this occasion was assisted by the corps sent from Shumla to its relief by Omar Pasha. Some of the troops of the latter took part in the battle on the 13th, and the junction of the entire corps was effected on the evening of that day. There was nothing voluntary or strategec in the flight of the Russians. The defeats which preceded the rout of the 15th had been followed by extensive movements , with the object of reinforcing the besieging corps. 0 0 the 12th and 13th it was said at Kalarasch, " Silistr►,& must be taken speedily, and at any cost. " The expulsion of the Russians is entirely the work of the Turks. The Russian army is in a most wretched plight. The men are downcast, and utterly dispirited. All the chief commanders—Prince Paskiewitsch, commander of the , entire army of the Danube; Prince Gortschakoff, com mander of the investing corps ; and General Schilders, director of the siege works—are wounded and disabled. Five generals were either killed or wounded on the 13th, and on the same day the siege works on the right bask were destroyed by the Turks, with immense loss to the enemy. , Flight to Wallachia was thus the only course left to the Russians. They are now in the neighbourhood of Kala rasch, awaiting reinforcements and orders. At Vienna it is thought that the Russians will find it impossible again employ the same troops before Silistria, demora lised as they are by repeated and constant failure, and that being unable to replace them in sufficient timer Marshal Paskiewitsch will then give orders to fall back on Jassy. The garrison of Rustchuk is said, in advices received from Widdin, to have crossed the river and attacked Giurgevo. The Russians on this occasion lost 400 men and nine guns. This intelligence is less authentic than the accounts from Silistria and Kalarasch, which have' reached Vienna through several channels, and are of 0 piece with previous intelligence. The Russian division under General Liprandi is march ing in great haste from Slatina for Silistria. General Schilders, who has lost a leg, lies in a claw gerous state. He is advanced in years, and of nervous temperament. Prince Gortschakoff's wound is severe- General Luders, who is also wounded, is said to be doing well. Marshal Paskiewitsch suffers considerably from his contusion. Count Orloff, jun., lingers without hope of recovery. -- The Monifeur announces that, on the 13th, the Eng lish and French fleets !formed a junction at Borobund . The British flag was hoisted at the main of all the ship* and the French Vice-Admiral ordered it to be saluted with 15 guns. A despatch from Copenhagen of the 20th states that H.M.S. Leopard and Valorous had attacked and destroyed, the Crown Wharf at Kemi, in the Gulf of Bothnia, an d the small craft in the port. They abstained from injuring Tornea. A letter, dated Widdin, the 30th of May, says :—The . Russians, on leaving Lesser Wallachia, pillaged every' thing. They seized the archives and public moneys ; they robbed the convents and churches of all their precious ornaments. The Commander of the Ottoman troops , Halim Pacha, has re-organized the administrative se rvice of Krajova. At his call, the majority of the employe's re turned to their posts, the proprietors who had emigrated with their families returned to their homes. A Wala chian journal, the first number of which appeared at KrAjova on the 25th of May, enumerates all the acts of violence committed by the Russians, and makes an ener getic appeal to the nation in favour of the Ottoman authorities. On Wednesday a supplementary estimate of the navy for the year ending the 31st of March, 1855, was given in a parliamentary paper, from which it appears that g2o,oouat is required for the expenses on account of prison s war. Of that sum £5,000 is required for the pu rchase of the House of Correction at Lewes as a place of ne ment, and £15,000 for the maintenance , clothing, &c., of prisoners, pay of officers in charge, and othe r ex p enses, attending' their detention. A leading item of intelligence from the Baltic is of 0 er serious nature. Although widely contradictory report; are current, as to details, the main fact is certain that another c-'smity, similar to the affair of the Tiger, though less disastrous, has befallen an English crew. From tbr most reliable sources we gather that the Odin and Val' tare landed 150 men at Carleby, who were attacked by o° , ambuscade of rifles and by a masked battery of five go' Lieutenant Carrington, a mate, a midshipman, and tti men were killed, and two officers and 14 men wouna ed A boat was lost, and one mate and 28 men were take ° prisoners by the enemy. The Russian commander o'_, l 9fr killed. The ambuscade consisted, in addition to a mash , ' demi-battery, of a well concealed corps of light infantry armed with the Minie rifle. The capture, or rather the unopposed seizure of a O a town lying in the extreme north of the Gulf of Bothnia? is the set-off against the above-mentioned loss of English seamen. Tornea has been occupied, and if common fame, says true, is about to be fortified and made a station for British troops. The town of Tornea is not itself within the Arctic circle—though at Midsummer the sun can be seen from its church steeple at midnight; but the greater part of the mark or district, of which Tornea is the capi tal, is within the Arctic circle. Englishmen are now pro mised a chance of being enabled to decide, experimentally, whether hunting. star-gazing, or fighting, is the best preservative against Arctic cold. But for six months of the year they will have to fight by the light of the moon, or stars, or Aurora Borealis. THE RUSSIANS IN THE PACIFIC. Rear-Admiral Price, commanding at Callao, has received directions to commence, at once, hostile measures against Russian ships and property. The rear-admiral has ordered the crews of the squadron to practise daily, and intimates to the men " his opinion that there will be much to be done upon this station by the squadron under his orders ; that Great Britain has a right to expect from it a proper account of the Russian frigates that are known to be nevi upon the station, as well as of the numerous privateers that it is known soon will be."

D ECIM iL CIIRRENCY.-011 T ues d a y a deputation of Lord including Stanley and Mr, the X - Ph waited upon the Chancellor of ecquery Cobden, wai lion. gentleman's memory, on the thirty-fourtheme mercantile te memberswo world, o a f n Parliament, rliament, c h iefly connected with deputation was coin; • ~ explained coinage.

He hoped the Government would Pe_ 4 „ 6 resolution this session, declaring their intention to LTh.""'" i n a bill next session on the subject. The Chancellor of the Exchequer said ;it was necessary, in the first that before they issued decimal coins, the country 011°1ld make up its mild what was to be the unit, an d he Inu i t say, that he considered the ques ti on h a d not gone throng anything like the process of sifting by all classes o f th! community which would make it safe at the present women'. to take any decisive step with respect to it:—" The classe s who have really paid attention to the question are in I' main the commercial cla sses , w ho are i n general favoura ble , not only to a decimal sy s tem of accounts, but to a cobot, 101 .' based upon the po u nd as a unit. But it is the enorraer s _ classes of the community, who know nothing of acco,; but who have an immense amount of transactions car t he on through a system of coinage quite different from _Z c i decimal, having different divisors, who are to be a ff _ e qo by this question if we adopt a decimal coinage. I" „ r to opinion this is a question on which the mere sentio,;This, of the government are of no importance whatever.

The only question is, what does the country think ? It is arhc upon which the public sentiment, as far as it is anj gathered from the press, is by no means unanimous;.icu there is by no means the same preponderance of oll ba t in favour of it amongst the ordinary eommunit3.' s ling there appears among the commercial classes.
