" 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 Milners' Patent Safes. From the intense nature of the fire, and the length of time the Safe was exposed to the action of the lames, 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.

A new and very curious invention connected with Dental Surgery has been introduced by Mr. HOWARD, it is the pro duction of an entirely new description of Artificial Teeth, fixed by his New Patent System of Self-adhesion and Capillary Attraction without springs, wires, or ligatures. They so per fectly resemble natural teeth, as not to distinguished from the originals by the closest observer. They will never change colour or decay, and will be found very superior to any teeth ever before used. This method does not require the extrac tion of any teeth or roots, or any painful operation whatever, and from the nature of the materials used the most perfect fit is obtained. The invention is of importance to many persons, and those who are interested in it, should avail themselves of this new method. Mr. Howl, RD, Surgeon Dentist, 17, George- stt eet, Hanover square, London. At home from 11 till 4.

THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD, AND GENERAL COMMERCIAL ADVERTISER. tetrerpoot g‘ii)tanbarb+ TUESDAY MORNING, MAY 23, 1854, AN ILLUSTRATION OF THE OLD SPIRIT. THE spirit of Popery has aptly illustrated itself this last week. The Lord Mayor of Dublin is a Roman Catholic gentleman—a different thing from a Papist. The latter, as an Ultramontanist, is capable of any crime for the benefit of his Church. The Roman Catholic gentleman has respect for the laws of the country of which he is a native, and he does not hold that his Sovereign is only at Rome, and that all others are but Rome's viceroys. The Lord Mayor of Dublin then, Sir Edward M`Donnel, at the usual inauguration of the Irish Chief Magistrate, entertained Her Majesty's Repre sentative in Ireland, his Grace the Archbishop of Dublin, the principal officials and dignitaries of his own Church—among others Dr. Cullen, the priest who thinks Galileo a fool and Newton a blasphemer. At this festival the health of Dr. Cullen was complimentarily drunk ; but as the Lord Mayor did not violate the law and describe. Dr. Cullen as that which he is not—Archbishop of Dublin—all the Ultra-Papist faction opened upon him such a battery of abuse, that his surviving it may be ranked among the miracles of the moderate portion of the Church of Rome ! Sir Edward would have been guilty of falsehood, had he described Dr. Cullen as Archbishop of Dublin : the doctor would have been an impostor, had he replied to the toast ; and the law would certainly have fallen upon him, had he had the impertinence or the hardihood so to inflict outrage upon it. The doctor's friends, however, have waxed wrath ful; and they have omitted no opportunity to wreck their miserable vengeance on Sir Edward. Had he been an infidel, guilty of the most odious offences, they could not have assailed him with more violence of dirty vocabulary. Their great desire was to prevent his being elected to act as chairman to the meeting held to denounce Mr. Chambers's Convent Bill ; but in this attempt they signally failed. Sir Edward was voted to the chair ; and, by his occupation of it, he conferred respectability on the meeting, secured decency of conduct as far as his control would reach, and prevented a prepared exhibition of dis loyalty, to the utter disgust of the party who had hoped to fling vituperation at the throne without impediment. We are glad to perceive that the Romanists have such men among them as Sir Edward. Be is not the man who, like the notorious priest Cahill, would gloat over the " glorious idea" of a Protestant massacre ; or who would tell young Romanist ladies that it were better to read obscene books than a chapter from the English Bible ! Sir Edward is the " black swan" among the Irish Papists ; and we hope he may not reap assassina tion because be has been upright and loyal. As for the aggregate meeting held to denounce the Nunnery Bill, it went off as was expected— that is to say, from beginning to end, it was a scene of brutalising blackguardism. Nothing was done by the speakers save reviling each other, or defying the " chair," or exciting the auditory— who, nothing loth to be excited, upset the reporters' tables, and behaved more like fiends than men assembled to protest against an alleged wrong. Is it not strange that the Irish Papists can never thus meet without gaining for themselves the dis gust and abhorrence of all decent, respectable, and loyal men ?—Church and State Gazette. THE HOUSE OF COMMONS AND ITS TYRANT MINORITY. WE heard a great deal, lately, in connexion with Lord JOHN RUSSELL'S abortive Reform Bill, of the representation of minorities. On Thursday last we had a specimen of the tyranny of minorities. The British House of Commons has succumbed, formally and confessedly, to the threats of an inso lent and tyrannical minority. That minority an nounced its intention to obstruct an inquiry, the necessity of which a large majority of the House had affirmed, by abusing the forms of the House for the purpose of raising interminable objections against each individual whose name should be proposed on the committee for conducting the inquiry. The result is that the inquiry itself is abandoned. This determination will, the House may rest assured, be received with the utmost indignation out of doors. What use is a House of Commons, if that assembly cannot vindicate the dignity of its proceedings against the obstructive tyranny of a faction P What use is there in re turning members to the legislature, if they have not either the power, or the will, to assert their right to legislate upon, or even to inquire into, matters on which they themselves have declared that inquiry preparatory to legislation is impera tively required ? By the theory of our constitution, the House of Commons is the guardian of our liberties. Let the House of Commons beware how it betrays that sacred trust. Let it beware how it suffers the country to fall under the domination of a faction, and that faction prompted by an alien power irreconcilably hostile to our constitution and our liberties. The House of Commons cannot, any more than any other body or institution in the realm, afford to incur public odium or public contempt. We write in no inimical, we trust in no disrespect ful spirit, in warning the House of the danger which it is incurring. The disclosures which have taken place since the assembling of the present Parliament, as to the means by which honourable members are, in many instances, brought into the House, have not tended to raise the House of Commons in public estimation. The imputations since thrown out, and still under investigation, as to the barter of votes by members of the House for government patronage, and the appropriation of that patronage to their own private uses, involv ing, in some instances, direct charges of venality, have not added to the respect of the public for the House. The fact that a small but compact minority has been enabled, at its pleasure, to oust and to instal Ministries, without any attempt on the part of the majority of the House to put down so intolerable a usurpation, has still further da maged it in public esteem. And the avowal of the fact that the House retires from a position which it had emphatically taken up, under coercion from a minority, cannot fail to damage it yet fur ther. The loss of public confidence and public respect is an injury which all the powers vested in the House by the constitution will be found insuf ficient to repair. That confidence and that respect the House, like every other public body, must earn, if it wishes to possess them. The time is not far distant, when, in a neigh bouring country, a popular Assembly, by suffering itself to be made the play of factions, incurred a degree of public scorn which rendered it an easy matter for a man of bold and determined mind to overthrow the Assembly, to disperse its members, and to grasp the reins of arbitrary power, in the character of benefactor of his country. The liber ties of France have perished before our eyes in consequence of the loss of respect which the National Assembly had incurred. An exact pa rallel to the events to which we allude is not, of course, to be dreaded under a settled Monarchy like ours. But it does not follow that a similar disaster may not, under anotb.er form, fall upon this country th roug h th e f au lt o f its national re. presentatives. Au unscrupulous Atinister, or an unscrupulous clique, may take advantage of any loss of reputation'which the House of Commons may incur, and may establish a tyranny not . the less galling because exercised under a continuance of constitutional, forms. It is quite conceivable that the House of Commons may cease to be what it professes to be,—the exponent of the feelings and wishes of the nation; that it may become a mere tool of the Minister of the day, or of a dominant faction,—and to such a consummation, devoutly to be deprecated, there is no surer and no readier way, than that it should suffer itself to be exhibited in the light of a mere sham by a factious and obstructive minority. It is not from a feeling of disappointment at the temporary defeat of the inquiry into the Conven tual system,—a subject in reference to which we feel assured that the people of England will "take order,"—that we are induced to offer these obser vations. We speak from a sense of serious alarm for the consequences which are likely to result from such an abandonment, by the House, of the power of regulating and vindicating its own pro ceedings. That our sense of the danger which threatens the House of Commons, and through it the liberties of England, is very much increased by the character of the minority which has, in this instance, achieved a signal v i c t or y, we have no wish to disguise. That the faction which tyran nizes over the House is the Popish faction, is a cir cumstance which aggravates our danger, and which is calculated to aggravate the public disgust. To overthrow the constitutional throne, and to subvert the popular liberties of England, has been for the last three centuries the unceasing wish, and, of late years, the strenuous endeavour of the Papacy. Is that wish to be at length'realized? Is that endea vour to be crowned with success ? Is the British House of Commons prepared to capitulate, and to surrender to the Vatican the dearly-bought birth right transmitted to us from our ancestors ? Re spectfully, but earnestly, we ask in what other light the decision of Thursday night can be regarded ?-- John Bull. FOREIGN AND COLONIAL. AUSTRIA. A Vienna despatch of the 13th inst. says :—"A courier bearing a very important message is expected from St. Petersburg. It is said that he will bring a formal demand from Russia that Austria shall declare explicitly the policy which she intends to pursue. The answer of the cabinet at Vienna, according to the Gazette Universalle, may be easily foreseen; Austria will not depart from the resolu tions embodied in the last protocol of Vienna." The Moniteur, of Thursday, confirms the levy of 96,000 men by Austria, whose manifesto indicates their destina tion in a very straightforward manner. The manifesto and the measure have produced a profound and favourable sensation at Vienna. The official Gazette, of May 16, contains an article on the subject of the levy of 96,000 men. The Emperor desires to protect Austrian interests against the possible contingencies of a war arising out of existing differences; but Austria, nevertheless,will continue to use its best exertions for the re-establishment of peace. PRUSSIA. The rupture between the King and his brother, the Prince of Prussia, continues to engross attention at Berlin. There is great talk in the diplomatic circles of a letter said to have been written by the Prince to the King, and passages are even quoted. If what is stated on this subject be true, the Prince has declared himself very positively against Russia. This, to say the least, would be good policy. The Prince of Prussia, who is now 67 years old, has a large family, and must feel anxious for it. He is evidently trying to ward off from his own family the danger which threatens the King► by his obstinate adhesion to the Czar. RUSSIA. From St. Petersburg, under date May 7, we learn that the Emperor is not over well. The Grand Prince and heir-apparent lives in a very retired manner, while the Grand Prince Constantine is uncommonly busy ; for some times he inspects the crews of ships, sometimes he travels to different places on the coast, then he examines the magazines, hospitals, and the like. The military reviews are less frequent. The garrison was weakened by the departure of the guards, but it is strengthened again by reserves. The Court has experienced a great loss in the person of General Rochov. A Berlin despatch of Thursday states that at St. Peters burg, on the 12th, a manifesto had been published ordering new levies for the fleet and army. TURKEY. Late intelligence from Gallipoli is to the effect that General Bosquet has returned from his mission, and reported well of the good conditio n o f Nam and Schumla. The Turkish army is composed of good soldiers, now well hardened to their work, and full of confidence in Omer Pacha. The cavalry no longer fear the Russians, and the Turks have full command of the pl a i n o f Schumla all the way to the Danube. • A Vienna despatch of Thursday states that a general rising was expected in Montenegro in favour of Russia, but that Austria was fully prepared to meet it. Six hun dred of the Montenegrins had made a foray into the Her segovina, and killed several of the Turkish inhabitants. ITALY. The sixth anniversary of the constitution was celebrated at Turin, on the 14th, with great pomp. The King, the members of the legislature, the ministers, and all the great civil and military. authorities were present at the solemn thanksgiving offered up in the cathedral, which was decked out with tri-coloured flags, and other symbols interspersed with appropriate inscriptions, while the National Guards were drawn up in parade on the square outside. The troops of the garrison lined the Piazza Vittoria Emmanuele and the adjoining streets. The King, on leaving the cathedral, was received with loud cheers by the assembled multitude, and the progress of the royal family to the palace is de scribed as a triumphal procession, so great was the enthu siasm of the people. The King afterwards reviewed the troops in the Piazza Castello. GREECE. The belief in well-informed circles is general that the Greek insurrection will now subside, and tranquillity, for a time at least, be restored to the provinces on the frontier. The complicity of Russia in the dispute is undoubted. The Muscovite sympathies of the Queen unite with the ambition of King Otho for a larger territory; men in power, and men desirous of it, are equally anxious for an extension which would increase their importance, their authority, and their wealth ; and the chimerical aspira tions of the people are turned to account by the designing. The influence of the Czar in Greece is deeper and more enduring, and therefore more dangerous, than his most inveterate reviler on an English platform has ever asserted. It is not a thing of yesterday ; it did not commence with Menschikoff mission or the Seymour conversation : it ex isted before Otho was thought of for the crown, before Capo d'lstrias fell by the assassin's dagger, before Greeae itself was ever named, save as a part of the Pashalic of Janina. The real Russian strength lies, not in the cliques or coteries of Athens, but in the hearts of the people—in the deep fanaticism which forms the basis of the Greek character. It is not generals and senators who form the agents of the Czar, but needy and ill-fed priests, sprung from the ranks of the people, the brothers and cousins of the savage borderers who have precipitated themselves on the Thessalian towns. A Paris despatch gives the following on the authority of the Moniteur :—The now avowed complicity of the Greek Government in the insurrectional movement on the Turkish frontier has given a fresh impulsion to acts of brigandage. Piracy is every day on the increase in the Archipelago. The commerce of Smyrna is in a state of great alarm. Special and energetic measures are about to be taken for the safety of navigation. It is certain that the Czar has furnished to the Greek Government military subsides amounting to 1,000,000 of drachmas.' Macedonia is invaded by 2,000 adventurers and rob bers, commanded by Chanis Karatasso, a former Aide de-Camp of the King of Greece. This band is committing every unheard of atrocity. In one place they burnt alive 160 Turks —men, women, and Children—in their mosque. The Semaphore, of Marseilles, states that M. Bourree is the bearer of verbal instructions for the French Minister, M. de Forth-Rouen, and he will have, moreover, to demand from the Hellenic Government the interests due since 1828 on the hundred millions advanced by France. If the answer of the Greek Government be not satisfactory, French troops will occupy Athens, the Pirteus, and the most important points both of the mainland and the Archipelago. The insurrection itself is nearly at an end, Fuad Effendi having 15,000 men in Arta. The real nature of the abortive rising against Turkey is no secret. Accounts were received in Paris on Thursday that the Russian Government has insured to the Greek Govern ment a subvention of a million of drachmas per month. A curious fact has also been ascertained : the Greek Govtrnment has granted letters of marque to the pirates who at the present moment infest the Levant. WEST INDIES. the Magdalena, royal mail steam-ship, arrived at Southampton. da Jamaica, accounts of the 27th ult. state that the legislature had been prorogued by nMe Governor Barkly, who had left S rd uesy Spanish Town for a tour through the north-western parishes of the island, with a view of forming a correct estimate of their actual condi tion. Cholera had appeared in Spanish Town, and four fatal cases are reported. Several deaths from scarlet fever had occurred at Kingston. The weather was very close, with the thermometer ranging from 98 to 100 degrees. A great number of fires, principally of small extent, had occurred in the rural district of Barbadoes. AUSTRALIA. By the royal mail steamer Magdalena, accounts have been received, via Panama, from Sydney to the 21st of February, being a fortnight later than those by he Marco Polo. From Melbourne only three days later. At Sydney the rate of interest had been raised from 4 to 5 per cent. The latest accounts from the mining districts as given by this arrival are from a correspondent of the Sydney Herald and are dated Braidwood, Feb. 16. " Since my last I have to report great prosperity among our gold dig gers. The new diggings on Major's Creek are turning out even better than the most sanguine could have antici pated, and the success that has attended many is most cheer ing. I mentioned in my last that there were about 1000 persons on the diggings, and 700 at work. I may now say, 1100 persona located or walking about ; of which number about 750 or 800 have licences, the other 300 being wo men, children, and nondescripts. As to the remunerative ness of these new diggings, I cannot enumerate all the parties who are successful, but merely give a few of those whose success has more immediately come within my knowledge. A party of Tour the week before last, took upwards of 40 ounces of gold out in the week, being an -average each man of £36 10s. Another party, numbering ten, I believe, are taking out their 12 ounces per day, Brown's party are doing remarkably well, as likewise M`Donough's, and very many others. There are stores and sly grog shops in abundance,—the former well supplied with every requisite for a gold digger's purpose, and cheap ; the latter with every enticing beverage to lure and debase the man. There are still a number digging on the pri vate lands of Mr. Badgery. I believe upwards of 100 licenses have been issued, and they seem all to be doing a fair stroke." In New Zealand to the 21st of January, no material alteration had taken place in the price of flour, which was quoted at £23 per ton, and wheat lOs a bushel. Sawn timber 16s. per 100 feet. From the Canterbury settlement we have Lyttelton papers to the 18th of January. The importation of stock was going on briskly, 180 head of cattle, 40 horses, and 1,500 sheep having just arrived. Mr. Morris, a midship man of the Carnatic, had been drowned during a squall in the harbour. A destructive fire took place at Hobart Town on the 21st of January, which destroyed property to the value of $400,000. Crown lands in certain localities command a high price. In the township of Gladstone, the upset price of which was £2O per acre, land has been sold at £5lB per acre. AMERICA. ARRIVAL OF THE ARABIA. By the British and North American Royal Mail steam ship Arabia, Commodore Judkins, we have intelligence from New York to the 9th, Boston to the 10th, and Hali fax to the 11th inst. The Arabia sailed from Boston, at 3, p.m., on the 10th inst., and arrived at Halifax, at 10 30, p.m., on the 11th; aud, after a delay of an hour and a-half, she again pro ceeded to sea, passed Cape Clear, at 1 25, p.m., on the 19th, ajid arrived in the Mersey 126, p . m., on Saturday, after a passage of about 9 days 17 hours.' The Arabia brought 178 passengers, and $188,253 in specie on freight. In the Senate, on the 9th, Mr. Ingersoll delivered a speech on the European war, advocating the immediate de claration that free ships make free cargoes, and that the United States would not permit the search of American vessels, or the overhauling of the papers. The Nebraska Bill was still before the House of Repre sentatives. According to the Herald, the Government had resolved on energetic measures in regard to the Black Warrior affair, the dispatches from Madrid having given great dis satisfaction. The efforts to raise the Ericsson had not proved success ful, although divers had penetrated into the cabins and closed the portholes. An immense canvas sheet, which had been passed round the vessel, was rendered nearly use less by the strong current. Captain Ericson, in a letter to the New York papers, asserts that the trial-trip was a complete success, a speed of eleven miles an hour having been obtained with a low pressure of steam. Four persons had been killed near Philadelphia by the explosion of a steamer's boiler. On the 9th a fire broke out in Forsyth-street, New York, and, before it was extinguished, destroyed upwards of $60,000 worth of property. The New York Chamber of Commerce had memorialized Congress, in relation to the rights of neutrals, and the im portance of taking advantage of the existing state of affiars in Europe to negotiate treaties with the different maritime powers of, the world for the protection of the rights of neutral vessels, and to establish the American principle, that free ships make free goods. The El Dorado, the Star of the West, and the George Law had arrived with late advices from San Francisco, and a total amount of $2,174,520 in gold dust. The road from San Juan del Sud was in good condition. The California papers continue to give encouraging accounts of mining operations. At Yankee Hill, near Columbia , a piece of gold, weighing twenty-seven po u nd s , h a d b een dug up by a man who the day before had not sufficient money to pur chase a breakfast. Walker and his band had evacuated Lower California, and gone no one knew where, perhaps to Texas. They drove off' three or four head of cattle, belong ing to the rancheros of California. A quicksilver mine had been discovered in the coast range of mountains, about seventy miles south of Pacheco's Pass, and said to be equal in richness to the new Almada mines. The markets at San Francisco were moderately active. A steam-boat explosion had occurred in San Francisco Bay, by which 36 persons were killed. The captain of the steamer J. L. Stephens reports that Santa Anna was blockading Acupulco on the 22d ult. The J. L. Stephens was fired at, and boarded by a Mexican naval officer, and compelled to turn back. During the detention of the steamer at Acupulco shots were frequently exchanged between the Mexican steamers and forts, but without effect. Santa Anna, with 5,000 men, it was ex pected, would make an attack on the town during the night. The Diario Official gives a general account of an action at the Cayanes, between Santa Anna and Alvares, in which the latter was defeated, and it was confidently expected that he would fall into the hands of the victors. It is stated that two hundred of his followers were routed and about twenty killed. There was no longer any doubt of the execution of Guzna. This officer, while raising the standard, of revolution, was surrendered to the Mexican troops by his aide-de-camp, Cano, who, as a reward for his treachery, received two hundred doubloons and the rank of lieut.-colonel. The police of the capital had dis covered a conspiracy, at the head of which was Cendefas, a friend of Alvares. The British minister, Mr. Doyle, had interfered to obtain the party of American and English captured at Guazamas a fair trial. According to letters from Havana, the captain-general was pushing to, the utmost all measures for the defence of the island, in the event of a war with the United States. The military force was estimated at 12,000 men. The correspondent of the New York Daily Times again re ports the landing of three cargoes of slaves. CO IMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. NEW Youx, MAY 9.—The Stock Market exhibited a further decline of to 1 per cent.—ln Bank Shares the operations had been very light. City loans were much depressed, although there had been no issues to any extent. —The Money Market exhibited continued stringency. Rates on prime paper were 10 to 11 per cent., while large amounts of second-rate paper, endorsed, could not be ne gotiated under 11 to 15. Foreign exchange was dull. London, 109 to 109/ ; Paris, 5,10 to 5,14; Amsterdam, 41/ to 42/ ; Frankfort, 411 to 41/ ; Bremen, 79/ to 80; Hamburg, 37 to 361 ; Antwerp, 6,10 to 5,12/. COTTON. (From W. P. Wrights Circular, ofilfay 9.)—The Cotton Market in this city has continued m the same dull and inactive condition. The operations for ex port have been very limited, and the sales to home con sumers have been chiefly confined to qualities ranging above middling ; holders, however, have shown no desire to press sales, and thus prices are not materially lower than last week. The sales since 2nd instant have been 5,996 bales ; of which 1,606 were for export, 2,919 for home consumption ; 1,147 for speculation, and 329 in transitu. The export since same time has been, to Liver pool, 3,344; Glasgow, 427; Havre, 625 ; Bremen, 506 ; Hamburg, 348; Antwerp, 413 ; total, 5,663 bales. The following is a statement of the movement in cot ton since the Ist of September last, as compared with the previous three years : 184. 13. 1852. . .1851.

Total decrease in exports, 444,000. bales. BREADSTUrFS.—There was no alteration to notice in flour, the demand for home use being good and prices firm, particularly for choice and extra brands. Canada flour had sold at $7,98 to $B. Wheat remained inactive, . buyers being unwilling to pay the prices asked for choice parcels. Indian corn was not so active : yellow had been sold at 87c. to 99c., and white at 86c. to 84c. Oats were firm, at 56c. to 69c. for State and Western. Pnovisroxs.--Mess pork had been sold at $14,87f, and prime at $13,50. Prime mess was held at $15,60. Beef was without change. Lard, in barrels, was in fair request, at 94c. to igc. FißiGirrs.—Freights were rather quiet. To Liverpool, cotton, square bales, per lb., 5-16 d. to id. ; flour, per barrel, 2s. ; rosin, 2s. 9d.; heavy goods, per ton, 255. to 30s. ; grain, ship's bags, per bushel, 6d. to 5 3 / 4 d.

NEW ORLEANS, MAY B.—Cotton was quiet this morn ing. The Africa's news is at hand. The decrease in the receipts of cotton at all the southern ports was 494,000 bales. CHARLESTON, MAY s.—The receipts of cotton amount to 3,923 bales, while the sales reach 4,475 bales, at 91-c. to 91c. for good middling. CONSEQUENCES OF THE WAn—Wanted, a few smart, handsome young gentlemen, to dance at evening parties, on account of the great drain of officers that the war has carried off to the East. They must converse freely about the weather, the opera, and all fashionable topics, and be accustomed to good society. They must be well practised in the polka, waltz (single, as well as a deux temps), schottische, and not be above dancing in a quadrille, if needed. They must be single, and not exceed the age of 40. They must not refuse to dance with an elderly lady occasionally, if the size of her property is such as to war rant the presumption. The terms offered, including a champagne supper, are of the most liberal description, and may be ascertained at Gunter's, St. James's-square, or of the secretary of the " Distressed Young Ladies' Elegant Partners' Association," at Hanover-square Rooms. Young gentlemen presenting themselves must bring with them a white neckcloth, as a specimen. Not the slightest objec tion, at present, to officers in the militia, but no trades man, unless extremely rich, and highly respectable in the wholesale line, need trouble himself by applying.—Wanted, also, a few agreeable, rattling, clever young fellows, who can sing, conjure, and play tricks. A vacancy for a young nobleman who can fry omelettes in his hat, in a genteel establishment, where hot suppers are given and a servant in livery is kept. Terms, including kid gloves (new, not cleaned), well worth the attention of younger sons, who have very little, or nothing, on their hands. Inquire as above.—N.B. A good light dinner Irishman is in large request.—Punch. TnE MARQUIS OF ANGLESEA.—Mr. Francis, one of the gentlemen of Her Majesty's Chapel, St. James's, tells the following characteristic anecdote of the late Marquis of Anglesea. Mr. Francis was entering the chapel from the lobby one Sunday- morning in his surplice at the same time as the venerable marquis; and, on his drawing aside to allow the old warrior to pass him, the strict disciplin arian stopped and exclaimed—" No, Mr. Francis ; you here take precedence of me. You are on duty—l am not. Go on," THE WAR. Tan Constantinople despatches of the 10th announce the commencement of the attack on Sebastopol, by the combined fleets. They are engaged with guns of long range in the endeavour to destroy the more advanced works. Three ships-of-the-line and two frigates have been de tached to bombard the fortresses on the coast of Asia Minor. The Turkish fleet has 500 melt on board, who are to disembark there. We learn from Kalafat, that on the 4th instant, six squadrons of Turkish Cossacks and five of Turkish Hus sars had an engagement with the Russian Cossacks, near Radovan. The affair lasted three hours, and ended with the total defeat of the latter. After the second charge, the Russians were in complete disorder, and, quitting their horses, took refuge in a large thicket. Sixty horses fell into the hands of the Turks, and, it is said, the Russians had 138 killed and 12 wounded. The latter, with two guns, were brought into Kalafat. The Turks had ten killed, and two wounded. At present the Russians are beyond the Schyl, about two English miles and a half from Krajova, and news of fresh rencontres is daily ex pected. Letters from Samos of the ast inst. state that its waters are infested with pirates, and that several considerable bands of these rascals inhabited the islands of Fourni, Thimira, and Xicaria. They not only committed depre dations by sea, but also in the several islands of the Archi pelago and along the coast of Asia Minor. - A - despatch from Omer Pacha, dated Shumla, May 6, states that Sall Pacha had, on the 28th of April, defeated the Russians at Nicopolis, and that the Russians had lost 1,500 men. On the 2nd of May Colonel Suleiman Bey had also defeated the Russians at Radovan, not far from Krajova. This news is published in the .Afoniteur, under date of the 15th, from Semlin. A letter from Odessa, of the 30th ult., viii Vienna, men tions a fact which, says the Patrie, shows to what extent the Russian authorities carry duplicity and falsehood. In the night after the bombardment of the military port, General Osten-Sacken had the dead soldiers, amounting to between 500 and 600, removed and buried seven or eight miles beyond the town. The next day, in order to make the people believe that the loss bad been trifling, he had forty soldiers, who had been left lying dead on the bat teries, buried at Odessa with great pomp. A citizen, who during the night had seen what was passing, and men tioned it, was arrested on a charge of propagating false news, and, being tried by a court-martial, was sentenced to death. The Kreutz Zeitung (Berlin paper) of Tuesday evening, stated that an American frigate was said to have passed the Dardanelles, coming from Malta, laden with eleven steam machines for Russia. In the Black Sea it hoisted English colours, and got close into Sebastopol, where it hoisted American colours, and got safely with its cargo into the port. " Some, say, indeed," adds the Kreutz Zeitung, " that the frigate was ordered in America for Russia, to which both ship and cargo belong." Lord Cardigan and General Scarlett arrived at Mar seilles on Monday night, and left on the following after noon, for Constantinople, by the Ganges mail steam-packet. From Stockholm, under date May 16, we learn that the combined Swedish and Norwegian fleets, comprising two line-of-battle ships, four frigates, and one corvette, arrived on the previous day at Elfsnabben. The King went aboard, when he witnessed great manifestation of hostile feelings on the part of the crews against Russia. Fresh orders were given for repairs of gun-boats, and large num bers of new ones were ordered to be made ready in the dockyards. The following important despatches from Vienna are dated Friday : " Advices from Bucharest, of the 16th, state that the steam-frigate Tiger, which was wrecked near Odessa, has been burnt. The crew of 300 are made prisoners. " The bombardment of Odessa has been renewed. The damage done is already considerable. " The vanguard of tuders' left wing was at Kalniga on the 13th. " The Russians, turning the position at Rassova, suffered immensely. " The Main body of the combined fleets, under Admiral , Lyons, has been attempting the bombardment of Sebas topol since the 10th." Letters from Smyrna of the 9th inst. announce the arrival there, from the Piruus, of the steam-frigate Gomer, bearing the flag of Rear-Admiral le Barbie r d e Ti nan . On her passage the frigate chased several pirates. The number of the latter has considerably increased, and the entire Archipelago is now infested with them. Measures, however, have been adopted for the protection of the mer chant vessels, and the Sardinian frigate Eurydice, the Dutch brig Makassar, and the Austrian corvette Artemisia have joined the French and English in . pursuing the Greek pirates. Reports that tLe Tiger steamer had been lost in the Black Sea, having got on shore near Odessa, and been forced to surrender to the Russians, have been received. The announcements of this event have reached more than one firm in the city of London from their correspondents in Odessa, but are all transmitted by the telegraph from Vienna, and owe their origin to Russian sources. One of their despatches runs as follows : " ODE ' iSA, Mar 12.—An English screw-frigate of thirty-two guns was wrecked this morning at Little Fon taine, close to Odessa, and surrendered, with her crew. Two other steamers, which reached the place later, opened fire against the land batteries, which continued when the advices left." Another account mentions the Tiger by name, but also characterises the vessel as a screw-steamer, while H.M.S. Tiger, whose armament is only 16 guns, is a paddle-wheel steamer. These discrepancies leave room to hope that the report is only another Russian invention, and were mentioned in that light by the Duke of Newcastle and Sir J. Graham in Parliament on Friday. The following is the official list of officers on board the Tiger :—Captain Henry W. Giffard. Lieutenants Alfred Royer, Alex. Hamilton, and W. E. Stone. Master Fras. Ediugton. First Lieutenant Marine Artillery R.a. Ansell, Surgeon H. J. Domville. Paymaster Geo. A. Lance. Mate C. H. Wilkinson (acting). Assistant-Surgeon Edm. Lawless. Second Master John C. Solfleet. Clerks John G. Barnes and N. G. Simmonds. The steamer is of 1,220 tons, with a crew of 200 men. It is added that a gallant resistance was made by the British crew, and that Captain Giffard was wounded in defence of his ship. LORD RAGLAN'S ADDRESS TO THE ARMY. Lord Raglan has issued the following order, addressed from head quarters at Scutari, to the British troops : The Queen having been graciously pleased to appoint General Lord Raglan to be Commander of the Forces to be employed in Turkey in support of her ally, His Impe rial Majesty the Sultan, and his Lordship ha v i ng arr i ve d. all reports, &c., will be made to him through the channels prescribed by her Majesty's regulations. The Commander of the Forces avails himself of the-ear liest opportunity to impress upon the army the necessity of maintaining the strictest discipline, of respecting per sons and property, and the laws and usages of the country they have been sent to aid and defend, and particularly of avoiding to enter mosques, churches, and the private dwellings of a people whose habits are peculiar, and unlike those of the other nations of Europe. Lord Raglan fully relies upon the general and other officers of the army to afford him their support in the repression of disorder ; and he confidently hopes that the troops themselves, anxious to obtain the character they have acquired elsewhere, will endeavour to become the ex ample of obedience to order and of attention to discipline, without which success is impossible, and their presence would be an evil instead of an advantage to those whose cause their Sovereign had deemed it proper to espouse. The army will be for the first time with an ally to whom it has been the lot of the British nation to be opposed in the field for many centuries. The gallantry and high military quality of the French army are matters of his tory, and the alliance which has now been formed will, the Commander of the Forces trusts, be of long duration, as well as productive of the most important consequences. Lord Raglan is aware, from personal communication with the distinguished officer who is appointed to com mand the French army, Marshal St. Arnaud, and many of the superior officers, that every disposition exists throughout their ranks to cultivate the best understanding with the British army, and to co-operate most warmly with it ; and he entertains no doubt that her Majesty's troops are actuated by the same spirit, and that the first ambition of each army will be to acquire the confidence and good opinion of the other. THE BRITISH FORCES IN TURKEY. The infantry employed in the East are divided into four divisions, each of two brigades : Ist Division, his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, Ist Brigade, the Grenadier, Coldstream, and Scots Fusilier Guards, Brigadier Bentinek. 2nd Brigade, Brigadier Sir C.

The 2nd battalion of the Rifle Brigade will act as a regi ment (under the 2nd brigade of the Light Division) as may be ordered.—Accounts from Scutari announce the health of the troops these to be excellent. The barracks appointed for the contingent are spacious and airy, though filthy and overrun with vermin. The Guards, in conse quence of their state, preferred camping out. The Rifle Brigade, and the 93rd Regiment of Highlanders, had ar rived at Scutari from Gallipoli. POSITION AND STRENGTH OF THE BELLIGE RENT ARMIES. OU the extreme right, along the left bank of the Aluta, is stationed the Russian corps of army coming from Pojan a an d th e ne i g hb our h oo d of Kalafat, which has been reinforced by a second corps, lately arrived from Moldavia. The reserve is at Pilesti, an important town of Great Wallachia, 20 leagues to the N.W. of Bucharest. The right of the Russians communicates with the centre through Giurgevo, where a third corps is encamped. The centre extends from Giurgevo, opposite to Rutschuk, to Kalarasch and Rassova, along the left bank of the Danube, having its reserve at Bucharest, 13 leagues from the river. The left wing begins at Rassova, and occupies the Dobrudscha, communicating, by Odessa, with the troops of Osten-Sacken. Its reserve occupies Matschin and its vicinity. The line of operations of the Russian army stretches over a distance of at least 50 leagues, from the Aluta to the mouths of the Danube. Its real force may be calculated at between 150,000 and 180,000 men. The second reserve are still on the banks of the Dnieper, their effective forc e b e i ng unknown. The Turks, who have likewise effected a movement of concentration since their adversaries abandoned the environs of Kalafat, occupy the following positions :—Their left wing is on the right bank of the Aluta, with its head-quarters near Slatina, and its reserve at Krajova, communicating with the centre by the Danube, towards the confluence of the Aluta. This wing is formed of th e t roops w hi c h l a t e l y garris oned Widdin and Kalafat, and of a portion of the reserve, ordered to join from Sophia. The centre faces that of the Russian army, between Nicopolis and Silistria, occupying the fortified points of Rutschuk, Turtukai, and Silistria, the garrisons of which h ave b een l a t e ly reinforced from TUESDAY, MAY 23, 1854, Shumla, by order of Omar Pacha.

THE RUSSIAN TROOPS IN, THE DOB 4 When the Russian army under General Vide the Dobrudscha, says the Times, different op,,t, formed in Europe of the nature and object of tam ee,o tion. By some it was believed to be the cominer l a direct attack upon the chief positions of the Afr. army, intended to take advantage of the earliest ;le adapted for military operations, and to ant iciP tbee,, bold and skilful advance the heats of sunnne r 'b e r , lential effluvia of the Danubian marshes, and t of a more formidable enemy.
