STRANGE CIEC UMSTANCE.—The ship Paramatta, Captain Chaplin, which arrived in the Mersey on Wednesday morn ing, landed five sailors whom she picked up in an open boat on the Equator, in lon. 2 deg. 7 min. E., on the 2nd of August. The boat had a signal of distress flying, and, with her five occupants, had drifted for 43 days. She was bound from Prince's Island to St. Thomas, both on the African coast. When they came alongside the Paramatta they requested to be taken on board, as they could not find their port. ABERCROMBY WARD.—Mr. Peter Vine, secretary, in a circular to the Tories of Abercromby ward, informs them that at a meeting recently held, " The Abercromby Ward Conserva tive Association has been reorganised. Mr. James Holme is appointed chairman, Mr. C. Whitley and Mr. R. Holmes vice chairmen, and Mr. William Nicholson, treasurer. The circu lar declares that the committee has been materially strength ened by the addition of new members, and they earnestly invite co-operation " in forwarding the objects of the associa tion at the next municipal election." SMOKE Is following are the results of informations laid by the corporation officials on Friday, in connection with the smoke nuisance. The Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway Company, as owners of the steam-tug Mary Agnes, were fined 20s. and costs ; Birkenhead Com missioners, for steamer Wirral, 10s. and costs ; Thomas Croft, soapboiler, Comus-street, adjourned ; John Irven, soapboiler, Henry-street, £5 and costs ; Lawford, Lace, and Co., oil mills, Kent-street, 10s.; London and North-western Railway Com pany, for the Edge-hill chimney, £5 and costs. THE FATAL RAILWAY ACCIDENT AT SITAIMERSEIT.—The adjourned inquest on Stott, one of the guards of the East Lancashire luggage train, killed on Thursday last, at Brooks bottom Siding, nehT Summerseat Station, by a passenger train coming suddenly out of the tunnel while the luggage train was at a stand, and running into it, was held on Wed nesday, at the Derby Hotel, Bury. After several additional witnesses had been examined, the coroner expressed an opi nion that the accident had occurred throagh the signal not working properly. The jury returned a verdict of "Acci dental death." Several of the passengers are still confined from the injtries sustained, but it is believed that they are all recovering.—Manchester Guardiaß. THE SIXVLENTH OF OCTOBER.—On the sixteenth of this month it will be exactly three hundred,rears since the Protest ant Bishops Ridley and Latimer were burnt at the stake in Oxford, under the auspices of " Bloot- Mary." Without any desire to make a display of our Protestant zeal, we think it only right to suggest that so important and interesting ass anniversary ought not to be passed ever without some sign cif our consciousness of its having come round to us in the circle of time. To the cruel martyrdom of those pious and loyal men we in a great measure owe oar present condition as a Protestant people blessed with religious freedom ; and it were well to keep alive the memory of - those great events, which shed an unquenchable lustre upon those old times, in which mea'were staunch and true to the principles of that pure and apostolic faith, which, happily fer the people of England, is still the established religion of the country.—Mancheter Courier. IMPUDENT FRAUD.-A meimrial circumstantiallydrawn'up, and purporting to be signed by several respectable gentlemen, certifying to the truth of its contents, was on Friday presented to the Mayor. It recommended to the consideration , of the public the case of Mr. Thomas North, a fisherman, "whose beat (the Mary) came in contact with the schooner Jupiter, 'on the 20th September, whereby the bearer's father perished, leaving a widow and large family to lament his loss." The tale was sufficiently doleful to excite the charity of the bene !volent. The loss was represented as exceeding £l2O, ,and " a •mother and three sisters " were stated to be " entirely,depend •ent on his exertions for support." Such facts, sustained by 'such sin gna t ures as the domement presented, could :not have failed to operate on a heart less alive to charitable !influence than his worship's ; but unfortunately for the memorialist, Mr. Horsfall, M.P., whose name appeared among the eertifi cants as a subscriber of £Q, was with the Mayor at the time of presentation, and he was ignorant of Mr. North's existence —oblivious as to having attached a signature to theipaper— and unaware of having exhibited the charity for which he re ceived credit. This discovery led to enquiry, and, 'in the hands of the police, it was ascertained that nine outer thirty six signatures were forgeries. The forgeries are cleverly exe cuted, and evidently by an experienced hand ; the are different, and the style of handwriting various ; and, but for the accidental discovery referred to, a rich harvest might have been reaped from the credulity of the public. ARCHITECTURAL AND ARCHJEOLOGICAL SOCIBM - .—The first meeting of the eighth session of this society was held on Wednesday, at the Royal Institution, Mr. Hay, the president, in the chair. The secretary read a letter from Mr..-Salt, sec retary of the Polytechnic Society, inviting the membe's of the Architectural Society to attend the meeting of the Polytech nic Society, on Monday next, the Bth instant, when an inte resting paper on gas-metes, it was expected, would i be read. Mr. Hay then read the opening address. He said, before commencing, it was impossible not to allude to the .greatest event of modern times—tile capture of Sebastopol. :Put the mind of the nation had not been perceptibly diverted .by the war from the pursuits that elevate and ennoble the :human mind ; and it would be difficult to find a town or village in the empire where the architect or engineer was not engaged in constructing great works. After alluding to the recent visit of the Council to the , works at Rivington, and speaking with approbation of St. Aidan's College, Birkenhead, of a new church at West Derby, and the new Palatine Club in Bold street, Mr. Hay alluded to the recent visit of the society:to Crewe-hall and Nantwich, and concluded by describing the prospects of the present session. Thanks were conveyed to the president by Mr. Piston, Mr. Verelst, and Mr. :Frank Howard, who expressed themselves in terms of warm eulogy of the address.—Mr. Piston then read an interesting "account of Crewe and Nantwich, with reference to the society's excur sion there in June last." A short but interesting discussion on this subject followed, and the meeting then terminated. ALARMING GAS EXPLOSIONS AT PRESTON.—On Sunday week, about half-past ten ,o'clock, three extraordinary 'ex plosions of gas occurred in Preston, by which a considerable .amount of damage was done. The origin of the casoillty -seems to have been the sinking of the earth contiguous to the 'excavations for new sewerage,works now in progress between -the ends of Water-street and Pole-street, in Church-street, ,which it appears had occasioned the old sewers and the gas pipes to give way, and the latter to leak at the joints. Oue,of :these joints was directly over a fracture in a branch sewer ex -tending from the brewhouse of the York Hotel, kept by Mr. Bibby, at the corner of Derbyestreet, to the old sewerage main lin Church-street. This branch and a considerable portion cf the old main had become filled -with gas, a strong smell of the vapour having been observed for two or three days. At the time aleave-mentioned, Mr. Bibby's brewer took a lighted candle into the brewhouse, for the purpose of -examining the gas-pipes, as the. effluvium was very strong there, and he was passing the grating of the branch sewer, i n thehrewhouse, when an explo sion occurred, and he was thrown down with violence. Imme- , diately after this event, two tremendous reports were almost si multaneously heard in Church-street, explosions having taken place—one at the bottom of Derby-street, the other opposite the end of Pole-street—the candle eartied by the brewer having set foe to the gas in the sewer, anchtlience to that in the main. By the first of these explosions in -the street nearly all the windows were broken in the upper rooms of several houses on each side. of the street. The front andtack doors of one house were burst open by the concussion of the air, and all the houses in the immediate neighbourhood were shaken to their founda tions ; the effect of the explosion, as deseribed by the occu pants, being similar to the violent shock of an earthquake. By the last,explosion, a square iron plate„covering the man hole of the-old main sewer, and weighing about two cwts., was blown three,or four yards into the air; enclitis fortunate that no life was host by this occurrence, as the -street was thronged at the time iby persons p ass i ng t o th e i r respec ti ve p l aces o f worship. As soon as information of the disaster reached the gasworks the ges was turned oft and men were-set to work to discover and step the leakage, which could,ortly be done by taking up the -pavement. In this search, after labouring , nearly the whole ,of the remainder of the day,:they were suc cessful. THE Loss or MECE LOCHMABEN CASTLE. —An utScial in quiry, ordered by the Board of Trade, has beengoingoa before Mr. Mansfield, the stipendiary magistrate, Captain Sehom berg, R.N., the chief ,emigrant officer of the port, and the collector of customs. It was to ascertain and report upon the circumstances attending the loss ri of the new ship Loehmabe Castle, 1360, Captain Warner, which struck on the Bird Rocks, near Cape Ray, in the ,Gulf of St. Lawrence, on the moaning of the 4th of June last, in foggy weather, while on her , way from this port to Quebec, anith 516 passengers and a valutfole cargo of salt, rice, railway Ti!ant, and other articles. No lives were lost; but the allegation is, that the captain did notexent himself properly to recover the ship and cargo, both of which were almost totally lost, though she remained on the rocks eintil the end of August. On Friday, evidence was given to ,exculpate the captain from blame, and to show that it was impossible, from the natureof the locality, to do more than was doue in removing the property. According to the evidence of Mr. Jardine, one of the owners (all of whom belong to this town), the ship cost £lO,OOO, but was early insured for £10,500. —Oa Saturday the inquiry was again resumed, when Captain Lawson and Captain Moran were examined as to the naviga tion of the St. Lawrence, and they stated that it was not cus tomary at present, by captains of passenger vessels, to use the deep sea lead, and take soundings.—Mr. Johnston Berry, for merly a printer in Dublin, who had £6,000 worth of printing type and machinery on board, also gave evidence touching the conduct of Mr. Monsey, Lloyd's agent.—Mr. Aspinall ad dressed the court on behalf of the captain, and produced cer tificates of character from Mr. Cunard and Captain Groshart, concluding with an application to the court for Captain Tur ner's costs in the inquiry.—Mr. Mansfield said if the costa were granted it must be by an order, but he should make a pro forma adjournment until that day week, for the purpose of considering the question.—Mr. Aspinall asked the bench to decide whether the captain was entitled to his certificate, so that he might go to sea.—Mr. Mansfield said he should require a private interview with Captain Schomberg on the matter, and the room was cleared for the purpose. After a consult°, tion, Mr. Mansfield said, at the close of these proceedings the question had been put by Mr. Aspinall whether the court, after hearing the case, and before their report had been given to the Board of Trade, would withhold or give to the captain his certificate of qualification for the service. In the loss of the vessel the conduct of the captain had been very satisfac tory, so far as the safety of the passengers was concerned. With respect to the cargo they did not consider he was in any way responsible, but that it devolved upon Mr. Monsey ; and that if any blame attached, it was to Mr. Monsey, Lloyd's agent ; the court, however, did not wish to place any blame upon him. Having said this much on behalf of the captain, and receiving testimonials as to his character from Mr. Cunard and Mr. Jer dein—which testimonials seemed fully to have been borne out by his conduct on the voyage—at the same time they could not shut their eyes to th e f ac t th a t the loss of the ship was owing to negligence on bis part, in not taking soundings. They could not, however, but express with reluctance their resolution to withhold his certificate until they had a commu nication with the Board of Trade. The report would be sent to the Board of Trade, and if Mr. Tindall would communicate with the board as to whether the certificate ought to be re turned to the captain, he (Mr. Mansfield) would agree to give A him, THE LIVERT RAMSEY A PoaT.—The shipping, public buildings, &c., of Ramsey were gaily decorated with bunting on Monday last, in honour of its being made a free and independent port on that day by a treasury warrant. A salute was fired by the Manx Fairy at ten o'clock, being the hour of the opening of the custom house. FATAL COLLIERY ACCIDENT. —On Monday last, four men, named John Townley, 31, James Townley, 28, James Hindle, 38, and Richard Thompson, 33, were killed at the Moss coal-pit, Oswaldtwistle. The men got into a tub for the purpose of descending the pit, when by some means the rope slipped off the vertical. The jerk thus caused broke the rope, and the men were precipitated to the bottom of the pit, a distance of 86 yards. They were brought to the surface soon after, but life was extinct. PRESENTATION.—On Thursday, the workmen employed at the manufacturing stations of the Liverpool gas-company met at Mr. Preston's large room in Kirkdale, to present their late superintendent of the Athol-street works, Mr. Samuel Edwards, with a tribute of their respect, and of their regret at his leav ing Liverpool, Mr. Edwards having been recently appointed chief engineer to the Chester new gas company. The presen tation consisted of a handsome gold watch, and a tea and coffee service in electro-plate. LIVERPOOL WAR MOVEMENTS.—The Cunard screw trans port Jura, Captain Wickman, sailed on Tuesday with drafts of several cavalry and infantry regiments, numbering in all about 30 officers, 920 men, and 20 horses, besides a large number of women and children. The Jura calls at Malta, Corfu, Dardanelles, Constantinople, and Scutari. The sailing ships Miriam and Ariadne are loading here with light timber for ordnance stores. On Thursday night another batch of about thirty fine naval volunteers were sent up to head quarters. THE RIVINGTON PIKE WATER.—Preparations for sup plying the town with water from the Rivington works are being pushed forward with much rapidity. The operations at the extensive reservoir at Everton are drawing to a close, and workmen have begun to lay the permanent distribution pipes. Some days since, the laying of these pipes was com menced in Netiserfield-road North, at its junction with the lower end of York-terrace. A great number of men are em ployed in this operation, which is making rapid progress. The pipes are heavy, being two feet in the diameter of their bore ; but so admirably adapted is the machinery employed for the purpose of laying them, that the process is gone through with the utmost celerity. ESPRIT DE CORPS.—An order reached the Preston Barracks on Wednesday last for five officers of the 97th Regiment to leave for Plymouth that evening, to sail on the following day for the Crimea. One of the officers, Lieut. Goold, was absent from the barracks on a shooting expedition for the day, and it being uncertain whether information of the order could be got to him in time for the train, one of his fellow officers, Ensign Dawes, volunteered to supply his place, and telegraphed to his father, who resides at Bolton, to come and bid him farewell. The whole of the party had proceeded to the station, when Lieut. Goold arrived from his day's sport. He hastily seized kis sword and proceeded to the station in his shooting attire, and arrived there before the departure of the train, and in xufficient time to take the post of duty and danger. His military dishabille transpiring, 'he was greeted with several ?rounds of hearty cheering. Lieut.Onslow was also called from 41 private party without sufficient time to change his dress; and left for the seat of war at a mement's notice. SPECIAL VESTRY.-Mr. Woodruffe presided at a special meeting of the Select Vestry-, -on Tuesday, when the Chairman pronounced a warm eulogy on the late Archdeacon Brooks, concluding his remarks by moving the following resolution::— " Deeply feeling and lamenting the loss, the general loss, suffered by the demise of the senior chairman, the Venerable Archdeacon Brooks, this board desires to convey to his bereaved family au expression of their earnest sympathy with them in their present Affliction, and, at the same 'time, to record a humble tribute to the memory of one so kmg endeared to the town, by the devotion of his life to its most valued institutions, by his .public services, by his ready aid in the cause of charity and benevolence, by his virtuous and manly qualities—that honest, generous heart—the pure 'Christian — to the parish an honoured servant—to the poor un-endearing friend." Mr. Shaw -seconded the resolution, which was unanimously adopted. The proceedings of the Workhouse Committee were :read, embracing a recommendation to the board to purchase-a new organ, and requesting that, on Tues day neat (this i143,-), the Workhouse be illuminated, and that the inmates be treated to roast beef and plum-pudding. The proceedings relative to the purchase of a new organ were not confirmed. How To Rosl - 7 - Lam SAFETY.—The Lancashire and York shire Railway Company were indebted to 'llessrs. Brownbill and Co., of Manchester, in the sum of aIZ, an.l forwarded a printed form, upon presentation of which, with sig nature attaclied,the money would be paidto the bearer. John Griffiths, former/Tone of the firm, obtained possession of the form, forged the came of the firm, and obtained the money. Griffiths was pursued and apprehended, hut only 15s. of the money was recovered. Messrs. Brownbill •and Co. gavethe company notice that Griffiths was in custody; but the rail way authorities: replied, " He has robbed you, not us ; and you may prosecutedf.wou please." Messrs. :Brownbill and , Co., on the other hand,•contended that the company ought to prose cute. 'Griffiths was therefore discharged;there 'being no charge against him. Te explain the above singular proceeding (says the Manchester (uardian), it must lbe-stated that the Rail way, Company, by.prosecuting Griffiths, mould have admitted that the money was obtained from them, and that they were therefore liable , to pay Messrs. Browlibill.and'Co. the whole amount; and the .company do not of course wish - topay the money twice. Messrs. Brownbill, by prosecuting, would have admitted the•reeeipt of the money, and - thus have invalidated their present supposed claim upon the Railway Company. Rad the £715 been recovered with the prisoner, there would pro bably have been:no difficulty as to who-should prosecute. Movamaxxs (or AUSTRALIAN S/ISPS.—During the past week, Messrs.. James Baines and Co.'s Black Ball -clipper Schomberg larin the river off the Princes Pier, and attracted an unusual degree of attention and admiration. This 'noble vessel sailed on -Saturday morning, with the mails, 428 adult passengers, and a full cargo. The whole of her saloon 'berths were taken, and amongst the passengers in that dassiis Mr. Gavan Duffy. It is a fact worthy of notice, that at least one half of the saloompassengers are old colonists, who are return ing to the antipodes with as little concern as a person.eon templates a run-overthe Atlantic in one of our American mail steam-ships. In fact, the length of the : passage between Liver pool and Melbourne:has been reduced to-such a short periodof time, by the energy, perseverance, and enterprise of our Aus tralian houses, that people who have beensuccessfulin theland of gold take a triproome to see their friends, and thengo back again. This, too, may be done at a comparatively triflingkex pease. The Oceancehief is the next mail-ship of thisline, and will sail on the sthof Nov. Several of .her berths have been already engaged by,parties who came to England:in her, and who speak highly oftthe ship and her commander,Capt. Tobin. The Black Ball liner, Marco Polo, Capt. James Clark, which left Liverpool on the.sth of April, arrivednut at Melbourne on the 26th of June. The Marco Polo was 21 days in reach ing the Equator, light and variable winds having been met with up to the meridian of the Cape of Good Hope. Several icebergs were passed in lat. 49 S., lon. 10 to-. 80 E. From -the Cape she experiencedlight and variable winds from the to N., accompanied by:heavy rains. The greatest number of knots attained in any :24 hours was 300, or about 121 per hour. The Marco Polo is expected to arrive batik in Liverpool in a few days.—The Monica, of Messrs. Pilkingtonsnd Wil ,son's White Star line, will go to sea on the 13th,:taking a large .cargo, and some passengers in first and second.e . abins. The :Sultana, a smart ship, Capt. Taylor, well knows; n the trade, iis.the mail packet of the 20th of this month. 'She as :filling well with goods and passengers. The Mermaid, cram Mel !bourn, is hourly looked for,.with a very large amount-of specie -408,655 ounces of gold—the largest shipment this 'war, the freight on which is £1,85(. The White Star was off Cape Otway on the 17th of July, all well, having, up to that point, beaten, by five days, a "crank" ship, which sailed before her. Messrs. Magee, Levingston, and Walthew, despatch a 'very beautiful ship, the Phcenix. 'Xhe arrangements for the com fort of the passengers are most,complete ; and after her suc cessful Indian voyage, we may look for a speedy run by this ship to Melbourne. The Palmsra, of the Black Star Line (M. H. Thomas), a splendid clipper-imilt ship, is going to sea, for Melbourne, this week. Amongst the latest arrivals at Mel bourne from Liverpool are the Blanche Moore, on the 10th of June,.andthe Hotspur on the 25e1 .of that month, the former having bet the latter by 16 days. GENERAL INTELLIGENCE. Mu. D. C. MITCHELL, of the Dumfries Militia, has invented an electric ,canuon. It is fired without .a touch-hole, by means of condueting.and non-conducting winos introduced into the cannon dining its manufacture, and cut &if close to the surface. Having no touch-hole, it cannot be spiked. THE BELAIdtI papers mention a mehnoholy accident that occurred last week at Ghent, when a mast, who was painting the spire of a belfry, was precipitated to 11Ae ground, the rope which sustained lxim having snapped. His body, a disfigured mass, fell close to one of his children, who was bringing him his dinner. IT is stated that a school or college for Turkish youth is about to be established at Versailles, the Sultan having made a grant of 1,500,000 francs for this purpose. Hem some 300 young Mussulmans will be instructed in the European lan guages, the sciences, and the arts as applied to industry. A LETTER from Braila states that two Greek machants of that town went mad on learning the fall of Sebastopol, and that another at Bucharest was struck with apoplexy .ODI the same cause. The same letter states that one Swedish and three Greek vessels have foundered at the mouth of the Salina, and rendered the passage dal more difficult, there being now no more than one fathom of water over the bar. A BERLIN despatch says that,dis . content in Poland and the Ukraine has risen to a very serious height at the successive calls for enlistment, and that a samvey is about to be made to see if Poland can furnish sufficient torn for the supply of the army during another campaign, and the result will greatly in fluence Russia as to the continuance of the war. AT A BREWERY, at Walcot, a boy has met his death by fall ing into a vat of boiling liquid. Mr. Bailey, the proprietor, without I:agitation, plunged his arms into the scalding liquor and brought the boy out, who only lingered half an hour. Mr. Bailey was also very much scalded about the hands and arms ; so much, indeed, that it may be months before he can recover. _ Ox Warden-hill Farm, Chipping Warden, the property of Colonel North, M.P., a large amount of property has been destroyed by fire, caused by . the accidental discharge of a gun. The produce of ten acres of wheat, twenty-three acres of oats, ten acres of barley, and of four acres of clover hay, three loads of peas, and sun . dry agricultural implements, were a mass of smouldering ruinsin two hours. Ma. AUGUSTUS STAFFORD, M.P., is an inmate of the Aby dos Hospital, having overtasked his strength in attending to the sick among the French troops during his passage from Malta to Constantinople in the Etna. There were 800 soldiers on board, and, when cholera broke out amongst them, Mr. Stafford was unremitting in his attentions to the patients— reading to them, writing for them, and cheering them.—Press. SEVERAL YOUNG AMERICANS, who have taken service under the Czar, as physicians, &c., find it easier to get into the Russian trap than out again. It is said that they cannot resign their positions until the close of the war, lest they should impart information to the disadvantage of their em ployers. Probably these young Russian-Americans will have a juster idea of the system of government which obtains in Russia, before they are done with the Emperor Alexander.— Halifax (N.S.) Church Times. OUR PLODDING NEIGHBOURS THE DUTCH have brought their strupendous task of draining the Lake of Haarlem to a close by the sale of the last parcels of land reclaimed. By pumping out the water they gained 20,000 acres of excellent land, which sold for 8,000,000 florins. The cost of the work was 10,000,000 florins. In a few years all the outlay will be repaid, and a handsome profit will accrue. This success has revived that often , doOed question, the drainage of the Zuyder Zee. OL STANDARD. THE Melbourne Age states that Mr. B. C. Aspinall, bar rister, son of the Rev. J. Aspinall, of Althorpe, Lincolnshire, and formerly a reporter on the Morning Chronicle, is a fa vourite candidate amongst the diggers of Ballarat for a seat in the Legislative Council. THE AUSTRIAN MORTGAGE BAN H.—lt is stated that the arrangements for the establishment of the new Mortgage Bank contemplated by the Austrian Government at Vienna, with a capital of £10,000,000, secured by the state domains, have been concluded with the house of Rothschild and other leading firms in that city. THE CONSERVATIVE LAND SOCIETY.—The twenty-third purchase for distribution amongst the members has just been made in the city of Lincoln, near the south toll-gate, and close to the two railway stations, being the well-known his torical site of St. Catharine's. This is the second estate bought for the society in the county of Lincoln. MURDER. — On Monday, last week, a respectable woman named Russell, residing at Bilston, murdered one of her sons, a child aged four years, by cutting its throat with a knife. She inflicted a similar wound upon herself immediately after wards, though not with deadly effect. The assignable cause for the dreadful occurrence is a depression of spirits from which she has been recently suffering. HYDROPHOBIA IN FRANCE.—A mason has just died in the hospital of Lyons, of hydrophobia. In one of his fits his keepers got frightened and fled, and he succeeded in making his escape into the other wards. Great was the terror among the patients ; some jumped out of bed, others hid themselves under their bed covers. At last a monk threw a blanket over the unfortunate man's head, and he was taken back to his cell, and properly secured.— Galignani's Messenger. THE MURDER AT CANTERBURY BARRACKS.-011 Thursday, before the mayor and magistrates of Canterbury, Emanuel Elsner, of the first regiment of the British Swiss Legion, was re-examined on suspicion of being the murderer of John Bock, of the same corps. The prisoner called several men belonging to the legion, with the view of proving an alibi, but none of I them had seen him later than eight o'clock on the evening of the murder. After a brief consultation, the bench committed the prisoner for trial on the capital charge. THE REPULSE, a sister ship to the James Watt, was success fully launched at Pembroke Dockyard, on Thursday. She is one of the new class of ships of ninety guns, upon two decks, with another immense pivot one on the upper deck, having, also, the auxiliary steam screw of 600-horse power, and is a very handsome model. Her burthen is 3,086 tons. Two despatch-boats are building at the same yard on the system adopted in the royal yacht—namely, diagonal planking, and will soon be ready for launching. CriEAP THINGS.—In the whole Exhibition, says a letter from Paris, I have seen nothing so curious as the newly opened salle for cheap things. It is truly inconceivable, and so useful above all ! There are lamps at twenty-five sous, docks at six francs, looking-glasses at two centimes, men's 'trousers at two francs, women's gowns at thirty-five sous, I shawls at fifty sous, water-jugs at two sons, drinking-glasses I at three centimes, and kitchen utensils at a franc and a half ! For fifty francs a young couple can set up housekeeping with a wardrobe complete. A YOUNG CREOLE of Ste. Croix in the Antilles has just performed a feat which leaves that of Leander crossing the Hellespont far behind, having swam across the Sound between Cronenburg and Helsingborg, a breadth of four English miles. But as the currents of breakers prevented his landing, he turned away from the direct course, and landed at a small vil lage two miles from Helsingborg, making about six miles in all, which he swam in two hours and forty minutes. A Dan , ish officer and three sailors accompanied him in a boat.— Galigaani. ENCOUNTER WITH CHINESE PI-aarEs.--Intelligence has been received by the overland mail from China of a desperate encounter which the boats of H.M.S. Rattler, and of the United States steam-frigate Pow•hatan, had with pirates, near Kulan, on the 4th of August. The boats had nine seamen and marines killed, and fifteen or sixteen wounded, some of them, it was feared, mortally. Captain Fellowes, Lieutenant Rolando, and other officers were blown up in a junk, but for tunately were little hurt. Ten pirate junks were taken and destroyed,the greater portion of their crews having been killed, and seven prizes were liberated, five of which belonged to a convoy of the steamer Eaglet. Sixteen small pirate junks escaped. TIIE NEW MERCRINT SHIPPING ACT.—At Rochester, on Wednesday, William Wheatley, late mate of the brig Ton bridge, of Rochester, was charged (under the 239th section of 'the Merchant Shipping Act) with having on the 3rd of last September occasioned, by neglect of his duty, the total loss of that vessel on the Gunfleet Sand, and endangered the lives of the crew. Evidence was given to show that when the pri soner took charge , of the vessel he had been directed to call the master when he saw the Sunk Light. This he had neglected to do. The consequence was that the vessel was wrecked an the Gunfieet Sand, not having been properly steered. The crew, however, were saved. The magistrates committed him for trial. SALE OF STOCK AT KEIR, NEAR STIRLING.—The annual sale of this well-known and first-class stock took place the week before last, at the Home Farm of Keir. The sale was conducted by Mr. James Neilson,of Falkirk. The stock offered was, as usual, varied, and of excellent quality, consisting chiefly of pure-bred Leicester sheep and short-horns. The biddings were spirited, and the prices realised were generally high. The Leicester sheep were disposed of in single lots, at prices 'varying from £1 to £7 for hogs. The cows brought prices varying from £3O to £45 10s.—one running to the large sum of £53. Heifer calves realised from £l6 to £2O each, and bull , calves from £l6 to £3B. The pigs also were of excellent quality, and were sold at large prices.; one boar of the pure small breed at £ll 16s. Purchasers assembled from very distant quarters. A VEXATIOUS RUT LUDICROUS INCIDENT occurred 'at Saviour's Church, Bath, on Sunday. A rustic couple, having had the banns published, presented themselves to be joined together in holy matrimony. The service proceeded until ar riving at that part where the minister said, William Wisher, wilt thou have this woman to be thy wedded wife ?" when the bridegroom stated his name was not William Wisher. The service was suspended, and inquiry made respecting the cause of the mistake, when it appeared that the bridegroom had written to Mrs. Hyatt, the sextoaess, requesting her to have the banns published, and , concluded his letter thus—" So no more from your Well Wisher and Mary Williams."

EXTRAORDINARY AFFAIR.—The Rev. William Brown, rec tor of Letheringsett, Norfolk, lately received letters from a Mr. Berridge, of St. Swithints, London, threatening, unless 'satisfaction were rendered, to pistol him in the pulpit. The local superintendent of police was •consequently directed to keep a sharp look-out for arrivals ; and on Saturday evening he found the above individual had come from Norwich by the coach. On Sunday morning, while the officer, attired in plain clothes, watched in the churchyard, Berridge made his ap pearance at about half-past eleven ,o'clock. He asked whether any one else besides Mr. Brown preached there, and also whe ther there was any other entrance to the church besides the main one, and was answered that there was a side door, but it was fastened. He then walked into the porch, and, as he was about to enter, was apprehended. Upon searching him, there was found upon his person a loaded Minis pistol, four bullets, and some caps. He has since been committed for trial. A MAN'S HAND BITTEN or ET A HORSIL—A surgical operation of a very interesting character was performed at Fort Pitt Hospital, Chatham, on Monday, on a soldier named Thomas Dance, belonging to the 12th Lancers, who had his arm amputated for the second time, in consequence of the frightful injuries he received from being bitten by a feroci ous horse in the Crimea. Dance was engaged at Balaklava, drawing water for the troops, and, while so occupied, saw a horse, with mane and tail erect, galloping furiously towards him. In a moment the horse seized him in his mouth, threw him down, and, kneeling on his body with his fore legs, commenced tearing his clothes off, lacerating his breast and shoulder in a frightful manner. The poor fellow put out his hand to protect the lower part of his body, when the animal siezed it in his mouth and bit it off. Some of his comrades coming to his succour, armed with stout clubs, the ferocious beast was beaten off. Before, however, the horse could be secured, he bit off the finger of another man and severely injured the shoulder of the veterinary surgeon of the regiment—Routh Eastern Ga zette. 81n J. D. PAUL—The Morning Chronicle relates the following curious anecdote :—" It will no doubt be fresh in our readers' memory that the firm of Strahan has a very pious individual in the person of Sir John Dean Paul, who had a chapel of his own in Park-lane, Little Chelsea, which since the bankruptcy has passed under the hammer. As may be supposed, the most conspicuous pew was the pious bankers's. What was the astonishment of the congregation to find the unpurified pew on Sunday graced by its former occupant ! The messenger of the Bankruptcy Court, feeling for the banker's scruples, left him his massive Bible, and Sir John failed not to display his riches in good books. After the service was over, the minister and his deacons retired to the vestry-room, and Sir John very coolly followed. The Rev. Mr. Goodhart turned round, and waved his hand to the ' knight of the road,' in meek intimation that `you are not wanted here.' Is not a sinner open to confession and for giveness ?' and with this password, Sir John boldly entered the privileged place. The minister, in good plain Saxon, stiffer than pulpit eloquence, reproached his stray lamb for his peccadilloes, and, simple shepherd, wound up his discourse by seriously asking, How could you have been so cruelly wicked, Sir John ?" It was God's will that made me commit myself was the response of the fallen Lucifer. ' startle you, worse than the sacring bell ;' and truly, Sir John startled his pious re - union with his ' cause and effect.' A man may wear a priest's garb, yet still carry a big fist in his hand ;' and Mr. Goodhart, imitating the meek Quaker, let his ' spirit rise,' and lustily ejected `Paul of the Corinthians' from the interior of the sacred edifice." FAILURE IN LONDON.—The suspension was announced, on Wednesday, of Messrs. De Lisle, Janvrin, and De Lisle, foreign merchants and bankers, with liabilities for £;400,000. The house was among the oldest and most respectable in London, wad it is believed, apparently on better grounds than are usual on such occasions, that the liquidation will not prove disas trous, The circumstances under which the stoppage was re solved upon appear to harmonise with the reputation for honour the house have uniformly enjoyed. It appears that they had a large balance at their bankers, as well as money at call in the hands of discount brokers and in other available quarters, to the extent of about £100,000; but that, being involved in large advances in Canada, which assumed a more serious complexion on the arrival of the American mail, they determi ne d at once to suspend, instead of risking the property of their creditors by any uncertain attempt to sustain them selves. The amount in q uestion will, therefore, be almost immediately available for a dividend, while, with regard to the general assets, the statement is that, with the exception of the securities from Canada, they are of a favourable description, and will admit of a further considerable sum being realised during the present year. Many years back the firm were largely engaged in trade with Buenos Ayres, but their busi ness was of a general description, and latterly they had be come connected with an extensive firm at Quebec, who were involved in the American panic of 1837, and who again found themselve s in difficulties at the commencement of the pressure in New York and Canada, about two years ago. On that occasion their debt to De Lisle and Co. was enormously heavy, and was compromised upon conditions which have not been fulfilled. The amount now remaining due under the compro mise, coupled with fresh advances which De Lisle and Co. were induced to make by delusive representations, is under stood to be equal to £200,000. The prospects from this source are most likely very doubtful, and it is upon the other assets only that reliance must be placed. Of Messrs. De Lisle's lia bilities of £400,000 a portion is said to consist of acceptances for account of parties ultimately responsible, and who will meek them at maturity. In this way it is expected the total will be considerably reduced, and the prospects of the direct creditors proportionably improved. Messrs. De Lisle and Co. were also connected with the trade of Guernsey and Jersey, and were the correspondents of some of the principal banks in those islands. TERRIFIC THUNDERSTORM ON Thursday, at mid-day, Liverpool was visited by a terrific thunderstorm, which continued till nearly two o'clock, with intermittent torrents of rain, and flashes of lightning fol lowed by loud peals of thunder. During the storm a violent explosion of fireworks, gun powder, &c., took place, and excited much consternation. A man, named Arthur Lawrence, a firework artist, resided with his wife and family of six children, in a house in Green land street, situate between the Black Horse spirit-vaults and the Circus, where he has carried on his business upwards o f four years. During the past week or two he had been busy in the manufacture of fireworks for the affair to-day, and was assisted by a man named John Bird, and his (Lawrence's) eldest son, about 14 years of age. Besides a considerable quan tity of fireworks already completed, there were in pre paration a number for a pyrotechnic display, and, it is ad mitted by Lawrence, a "few pounds " of gunpowder and other combustible materials were also in the workroom of the house. During the thunderstorm the lightning was exceedingly vivid, and Lawrence and his family, while seated at dinner, fancied that an unusual smell, akin to sulphur, was perceptible, and he went upstairs and opened a skylight. Imme mediately afterwards, three or four of his children left for school, and his assistant, John Bird, returned to the workshop after dinner, about two o'clock. Almost as soon as he entered the premises, a terrific explosion took place, the windows and roof of the house were literally blown into the street, the windows of the Black Horse vault, and those of several other houses in the imme diate visinity, shared the same fate, while the shock of the explosion was felt for a considerable distance around. The man Bird, and Lawrence's son and daughter, were buried in the ruins. Mrs. Lawrence escaped with a few burns, and her cap was burned from her head; her husband likewise being considerably burned about the hands. A lad named Patrick O'Brien, who was passing the house, had his leg broken, and was otherwise injured by fragments of the ruins falling upon and knocking him down ; and a youth named George Rankin was likewise very seriously injured. During the exertions made to extricate the man, boy, and girl, from the debris, flames burst forth from the wood-work of the premises, and soon there was a conflagration, which raged with great fury. The fire-engines were sent for, and soon at the spot, together with a body of police, but it was some time before a supply of water could be obtained ; and, when it was forthcoming, the fire was all but exhausted, the house being gutted. The three injured persons, Bird, O'Brien, and Rankin, were conveyed to the Southern Hospital, where Rankin, who was fifteen years of age, and resided in Prince William-street, died about five o'clock. From the loud report occasioned by the explosion, which shook the houses more than a quarter of a mile off, it is believed that there must have been a large quantity of gun powder in the house. At the inquest, Arthur Lawrence, the maker of fireworks, stated that if all the fireworks he had in his shop had exploded they could not have produced such an explosion ; nearly all of them remained unexploded. The jury found a verdict that death ensued " From the house accidentally taking fire." Wm. Simpson, plumber, Cabbage-hall, was struck with lightning while standing in his car at the door of Mr. Wm. Penn Smith's warehouse, Hanover-street. He was immedi ately attended to, but the loss of one eye is inevitable. In Conway-street, Birkenhead, some trees were struck by the electric fluid, and the top branches were scattered in all directions. Two sheep were killed in a field at Holt-hill. During the storm, the lightning entered the house of Mr. Bloxham, in West Derby-street, but was not productive of fatal results. In the height of the storm, and immediately previous to a loud crash of thunder, a ball of fire came down the chimney to the kitchen grate, whence it darted to the centre of the stone floor, expanded into a flame of several feet in circumference, and, after burning for some seconds, died out, leaving the place filled with dense smoke. A servant, who was nursing an infant, had but just previously removed from a chair beside the fire; two young children were standing gazing from the window ; while the mistress of the house was engaged at the dresser opposite to the fire-place. About a quarter to one o'clock in the afternoon, the brig Mary Hale, lying in the Victoria Dock, nearly ready for sea, was struck by the lightning, which shattered her top-gallant mast, but left it standing. One of the crew of a flat lying alongside was struck in the face by a splinter, which caused a slight abrasure of the skin. On the same day, Manchester was visited by a severe storm. At a quarter to three, there were vivid flashes of lightning, showing that the storm was passing directly over the city. The rain, at the same time, fell in torrents, and it was thickly mingled with hail. The grids were, in many places, in capable of receiving the surface water, and several streets were flooded, and cellars inundated. The hail created some damage to skylights in different parts of the town ; several panes of glass were broken in the roof of the Victoria Station. Rochdale and Middleton were also visited by a thunder storm, accompanied by a heavy fall of rain and hail, but no particular damage is reported. On Thursday afternoon, the metropolis and the adja cent country for many miles round, was visited by a most destructive storm. It commenced shortly before four o'clock, and continued for upwards of an hour, during which the lightning was very vivid, accompanied by very loud peals of thunder. The market gardeners in the vicinity of the metropolis, particularly about Tottenham and Edmonton, &,c., suffered severely, the surface of the soil having been completely washed away, and many young shrubs de stroyed ; some thousand squares of glass have been broken by hailstones, some of which were fully an inch in circumference. The small rivulets, Colue and Ravensbourne overflowed their banks, inundating the adjacent grounds; and considerable damage has been occasioned by the partial overflow of the Brent. The masters of the fishing vessels report that several of the low-lying marshes in Kent and Essex are under water. The accounts received by the guards on the Eastern Counties, Great Northern, and South Western Railways, describe the -storm as most violent ; in many places the rails were inun dated, the sluices being insufficient to carry off the water, and that considerable damage has been sustained by the occupiers of land adjoining the railways. The storm commenced again in the City about three o'clock this afternoon, the thunder and lightning being followed by heavy showers. COURT AND FASHION. THE EARL ♦ND COUNTESS OP DERBY have returned to Knowsley from Eglinton Castle. THE WILL of the late Earl of Sefton has been proved under £50,000 personalty. THEIR Royal Highnesses the Duchesss of Cambridge and the Princess Mary are about to honour the Earl and Countess of Wilton with a visit at Heaton-park. THE Amsterdam Courant announces the death, from cholera, of Count de Liedekerke Beaufort, minister of the Netherlands at Rome. IN consequence of the fine weather which still prevails in the Highlands of Scotland, the Queen's visit is prolonged until Wednesday, the 17th instant. THE QUEEN has appointed Dr. Allman, of Trinity College, Dublin, Regius Professor of Natural History and Keeper of the Museum, in the University of Edinburgh. ON Wednesday, the electors of Coventry, to the number of 150, entertained Sir Joseph Paxton, one of their represen tatives, at a public dinner, at the Castle Hotel. THE ROYAL LEGATEE.—The Queen has erected a memorial window in the church of North Marston, Bucks, to the late John Camden Neild, Esq., who, it will be remembered, bequeathed all his estates to Her Majesty three years ago. THE Right Hon. Sir Robert Adair, G.C.8., died on Wed nesday, at his house in Chesterfield-street, London. He had been many years in the diplomatic service, and had reached the age of 92. He had for many years past had an annual pension of £2,000. He was the author of numerous political pamphlets, and also wrote two works, namely,—" An Histori cal Memoir of a Mission to the Court of Vienna in 1806 ;" and "A Memoir of the Negotiations for the Peace of the Dardanelles in 1808-9." THE RIGHT How. SIR HENRY ELLIB, K.C.8., died at Brighton on Friday. He accompanied Earl Amherst in his embassy to China, and was wrecked with that nobleman on the return, and had to make for Java in an open boat, reach ing Batavia after a perilous voyage of several hundred miles. He was Minister Plenipotentiary ad interim in Persia in 1814, prior to his going to China. Sir Henry held the office of Clerk of the Pells from 1825 until the abolition of that office in 1834, and was appointed one of the Commissioners of the Board of Control by the late Earl Grey in 1830, which he held five years. In July, 1835, he was appointed Ambassador to Persia, which office he relinquished in November the following year. He was sent on an extraordinary and special mission to the Brazils in 1842, and in 1849 was appointed by the government to attend the conference at Brussels on the affairs of Italy. Sir Henry was made a privy councillor in 1832, and in 1848 was nominated a Knight Commander of the Order of the Bath of the eivil division. He was in the receipt of a pension (21,400) for his diplomatic services. Sir Henry was brother of the late Mr. Charles Ellis, formerly Consul at Tangiers. LORD DELeatERE died on Sunday, last week, after a length ened illness. His lordship was the eldest son of Thomas Cholmondeley, Esq., and was born at Beckenham, Kent, in 1767. In 1810 he married a daughter of Sir W. W. Wynn. Lord Delamere was descended from a common ancestor with the Marquis of Cholmondeley. His residence was at Vale Royal, in Cheshire, and there the greater part of his long life was spent, endearing himself to his tenantry and a large circle of friends by his unostentatious virtues. The deceased peer is succeeded in his title and estates by his eldest son, the Hon. Hugh Cholmondeley, who was born in 1812, and in 1848 married Lady Sarah Hay, daughter of the Earl of Kinnoull. The present Baron is Colonel of the Ist Regiment of Royal Cheshire Militia, at present stationed in Chester, and from 1840 to 1841 represented Denbighshire in Parliament. Be sides the present Lord Delamere, the late Baron's family consists of Lieut.-Colonel the Hon. Thomas Grenville Chol mondeley, the Hon. and Rev. Henry Pitt Cholmondeley, rector of Bradwell, Gloucestershire, and the Hon. Henriette Charlotte Cholmondeley. MARRIAGE IN Hien LIFE.—On Thursday, the marriage of Lady Adeliza Fitzalan Howard, youngest danghter of the Duke and Duchess of Norfolk, to Lord George Manners, youngest son of the Duke of Rutland, was celebrated in St. James's Church, Westminster. Amongst those present were the Duke of Norfolk, the Marquis of Granby, the Earl of Arundel and Surrey, Earl Jerilyn, Count Jarnac, Lord and Lady Foley, Lord and Lady Fitzalan Howard, Mr. Andrew Drummond, and Lady Elizabeth Drummond, &c.

William Anderson O'Con nor preached a farewell sermon at St. Luke's, Great Crosby. His labours in that place have been brief, but those labours have been characterised by so much discretion, so much humi lity and Christian zeal, that the congregation, especially the poor, deeply regret his removal. El Tr ibuno, of Carthagena, publishes with expressions of high satisfaction an event which it declares will be memorable in the history of that city. On the 12th of Aug. last, public worship was celebrated for the first time in New Granada ac cording to the Anglican ritual, accompanied with the public delivery of a discourse by a clergyman of the Reformed faith. The preacher was the Rev. Ramon Monsalvatage, and the audience "partly Protestant and partly Catholic." THE REV. W. CURLING, minister of St. Saviour's, South wark, preached in the open air on Sunday, in Pepper•street, Southwark, a locality of the lowest description, and densely populated. The rev. gentleman stood near the house in which a woman had lived who was killed a few days ago, and took his text from Ezekiel xxxiii. 11—" As I live, saith the Lord God, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live. Turn ye, turn ye, from your evil ways, for why will ye die ?" He was attentively listened to by many hundreds of the inhabitants ; and al though the streets and windows were densely crowded, and every available situation within sight occupied, not the slightest interruption took place. A USTRALIA. ADVICEB have been received from Melbourne to the 13th of July, by the Blanche Moore, via Ceylon, and are consequently a fortnight later than the previous accounts. The Mermaid sailed on the 13th, for Liverpool, with 98,677 ounces of gold, and a large mail. The Marco Polo was to leave on the 21st. A letter from Melbourne says : The aspect of affairs at the diggings is not deemed good, though the Maryborough disturbance was put down. The insurgent party were Irish ; they were called in the account Tipperary men, but they number many Irish from other parts. They were put down by a large display of force. About 2,000 men organised themselves, drilled, marched in order, were well armed, and moved in support of order. They are called the " Allies." The authorities of the locality be haved well and prudently, and it is well that troops were not sent up. At nearly all the diggings, sometimes for mutual protection, parties have grown up composed of such men as at Maryborough. They have asked for the sanction of the government, and Sir Charles Hotham has granted it, provided they do nothing illegal. Thus they must do nothing at all, for anything that they should do would be illegal. Sir Charles will probably get himself into a "scrape" with the. Colonial-office in this matter, for it shows weakness, as well as want of knowledge. You will find some discussion in the papers touching the existence of distress in Collingwood,—the fact even disputed; but of its existence there and everywhere there can be no doubt. It is less, however, among the labourers than among that class brought u p to nothing, and not capable of much. The half-yearly gold accounts have been made up, and show an increased production of auriferous extracts. The increase on the June quarter is 73,750 ounces, which will increase our purchasing power about £lBO,OOO. The price to-day is £3 16s. 6d. Exchange at the banks selling at two per cent.—Freights 41 ; insurance 21 per cent. Importation continues moderate, and prices steady, some rising. Our consumption is increasing, in consequence of the number of new arrivals. The excess of arrivals over departures for the first six months of 1865 are 34,908 The prices of articles of food are almost at famine rates. Flour is £46 to £5O per ton ; wheat 20s. to 30s. per 701bs. ; bread ls. 6d. per lb. An effort is being made to get up a new bank on the Scotch principle, namely, granting cash credits and allowing interest. THE REGISTRATION.—The Conservative Land Society has this year been again successful in establishing their claims for the freehold franchise on behalf of their members, both in Middlesex and Hertfordshire. AN EXTRAORDINARY SUICIDE was committed at Hud dersfield, on Tuesday. J. W. Fell, whose father is a chemist at Heckmondwike, was formerly assistant to Mr. Churchyard, chemist, Dorking, Surrey. He made the acquaintance of Eliza, daughter of Mr. Latter, draper, of that town, and, repre senting himself as being of a higher station in life than he was, persuaded the young lady, who is 22 years of age, to visit his parents, saying they had written for him to come home, and to bring "Lizzy " with him. With her father's consent, they met at the railway station, Dorking, where Mr. Fell obtained a form Miss Latter, with which he paid the railway fares to Huddersfield—first-class the whole distance. They arrived at Huddersfield at 8 25 p.m., and proceeded in a cab to the house of Mr. Fell's cousin, who is a chemist, in King-street. When on their way he requested Miss Latter to look at some fireworks, which she did, and it is supposed he siezed that - opportunity of taking poison, as they had then only a few yards to go. When the cab door was opened, he was, however, unable to descend, and the driver, with the aid of a passer-by, carried him into Mr. Fell's house, where in seven minutes he expired. A messenger was sent for Mr. Gree nwoo d , surgeon, who immediately attended, but his skill was of no avail. On a search being made, a 1 oz. phial, which had contained prus sic acid, was discovered on the seat of the cab. The body was taken to the Bull and Mouth Inn, where Mr. Ingram held an inquest upon it, when a verdict of "Temporary insanity" was returned. The poison must have been procured by deceased from the shop of his present employer, Mr. Tomlinsom, Lin coln, as he had no opportunity of obtaining any during the journey. - LETTER FROM ODESSI.—In Le Nord, of Brussels, we find the following letter froui Odessa :—" Odessa, September 17. W.! are still without detailed news from Sebastopol, but I c . ight to mention to you the impression produced in our dis tricts by the news of the evacuation of the southern part of the city. I cannot conceal from you that in the first moment the effect of this news was immense. The profoundest dejec tion was stamped on every face, and betrayed real grief. By degrees we have recovered from this momentary depression ; and the more we have been able to examine matters with calmness, the more have tranquillity and hope returned. In our case it is the heart that has been struck first ; as soon as reason has resumed her empire we have been able to reflect that the situation is not so changed ; that it is not entirely to our disadvantage, and that the honour of our arms has been in no way compromised. We withd rew o f our own accor d t o the north side, whence we continue to defend the ruins of Se bastopol : men, arms, baggage, ammunition—all were conveyed across in the greatest order, with the greatest dignity. General Osten-Sacken was the last to pass the bridge. It is with . a feverish impatience that we look for further drtails of this sanguinary day, and of an event that doubtless is about to produce a great change in the conduct of the war. Out of the 10,000 seamen wh o h a d un d er t a k en , withthan a fourth p their officers, art u s tl r i heroic defence of Sebastopol, no more h vive, and some six or seven officers. For the present we are only acquainted with, and we ought only to occupy ourselves with, one thing—the debt of that blood, the voice of wh ic h cries aloud for vengeance, a nd which renders the Crim ea t en times more dear to us, ten times more worth defending. We all of us here, and throughout Russia, understand that the war, the real war, is but about to commence. We expect to see it continue for several years, and are prepared for it.' _4401
