DAVIES'S ELECTRO-SILVER CREAM, for giving a brilliant Polish to Silver Plate and Plated Articles, German Silver, Britannia Metal, &c. The Genuine Electro Cream (which is a true preparation of silver, free from quicksilver and every injurious ingredient) produces a splendid silvery lustre without any trouble beyond that of laying on and wiping off, according to the directions on the bottles. It has been examined by eminent chemists, severely tried by leading silversmiths, and pronounced to be worthy in every respect of the high character given to it in the testi monials so kindly furnished to the proprietor. CAUTION.—The true Cream has been made for many years only by the inventor, S. DAVIES, Chemist, Chester, whose M.:nature and address purchasers will please to notice to pre vent disappointment. About the end of 1853, Mr. Stewart, of Birkenhead, who styles himself " the inventor" of the " original Cream," and cautions the public against imita tions! offered for sale an article under the same name, in bottles of the same size and form, and at the same prices. His wrappers are clumsy imitations of S. Davies's ; and it is remarkable that his labels are exact copies (word for word) of the two which have been used on the Genuine Cream for years! ! - The following copies of two orders received from Stewart speak for themselves. The originals can be seen (with otherA on application to S.

Smith, Esq. 13, St. Mark's-terrace, West Brompton, London. 10th May, 1852. Sir,—Ten years ago I was induced to give you my opinion, founded on expe rience of the merits of Frampton's Pill of Hea!th. I am pleased at your haring published that plain statement, by which I hope others have been induced to try so effective a medicine. Anxious cares and the neglect of my old tried friend during the early part of this year had produced symp toms of uneasiness which I found it prudent no longer to neglect; and I am delighted to say that a few doses of the pills, under the blessing of Divine Providence, has removed, and i am again as well ant ever was in my life. W ?a. Sm rm." These Pills are particularly efficacious for stomach coughs, •oids, agues, shortness of breath, and all obstructions of the urinary passages ; and, if taken after too tree an indulgence at table, they quickly restore the system to its natural state of repose. Persons of a full habit, who are subject to headache, giddiness, drowsiness, and singing in the ears, arising from too great a lbw of blood to the head, should never be without them, as many dangerous symptoms will be entirely carried off by their immediate use. For Females, these Pills are moat truly excellent, removing all obstructions, the distress ing headache so very preralent with the sex; depression of spirits, dulness of sight, nervous affections, blotches, pim ples, and sallowness of the skin, and give a healthy and jure- Ade bloom to the complexion. To Mothers they are confi dently recommended as the best medicine that can he taken during pregnancy; and for children of all ages they are unequalled. As a pleasant, safe, and easy aperient, they unite the recommendation of a mild operation with the most successful effect. By regulating the dose, according to the age and strength of the patient, they become suitable for every case, in either sex, that can be required. Sold by all Medicine Vendors.

EN ING MEDICINE. What though the sun in beauty shine, And you have countless hoards of wea'th; What though the world—all, all was thine, If you but want the blessing, Health. Dr. DE ROOS' PILULE VITiE, or VEGETABLE LIFE PILLS. A universal Restorative for both Sexes and all Ages, concocted solely from the VEGETABLIt kingdom; they may be administered to the youngest Child, or to the most delicate Invalid, by merely regulating the dose according to the age and strength of the person. They remove all Disorders and Pains in the Stomach and Bowels , as Costiveness, Spasms, Loss of Appetite, Sick Headach e , Fulness after Meals, Indi gestion, Liver Complaints, Inactivity of the Bowels, Listless ' ness, Heat, Pain, and Jaundiced Appearance; and while they act thus salutarily, they most of necessity increase the strength of the Patient. Headache, Giddiness, Singing inthe Ears. Fluttering of the Sight, and other Heavy Drowsy Sensa tions,—the" forerunners of many fatal diseases,—as Apoplexy, Paralytic Strokes, Epilepsy, &c., are effectually warded off by a few doses of these Pills. They also produce sound refresh ing Sleep, a keen Appetite, and possess extraordinary efficacy in invigorating the system, and imparting a pleasing serenity of mind. They are unequalled as s Family Medicine; in few instances, where occasionally employed in Families and Schools, will other assistance be needed. For Females they are truly excellent, removing Headaches, Depression of Spirits, Dizziness of Sight, Nervousness, Dim ples, Sallowness, and giving a healthy juvenile bloom to the Complexion. Ladies, however delicate, will find them parti cularly beneficial both before and after confinement. For Elderly People they are the most comfortable Medicine that can be taken. PRO BONO PUBLICO. -- WOOLLEY'S VEGETABLE ANTIBILIOUS AND FAMILY APE RIENT PlLLS.—These Pills having stood the test of nearly half a century, the present proprietor has been induced to bring them more prominently before the public, feeling assured that they only require to be tried to prove their very great superiority as a family medicine over the majority in use at the present day. They are more particularly recom inendcd for the following complaints, viz., indigestion, loss of ap:etite, flatulency, acidity, heartburn, headache, giddiness, dimness of sight, costiveness, all bilious complaints from whatever cause, cutaneous eruptions and impurity of the blood generally. For correcting the system after indulging too freely in the luxuries of the table they will be found eminently successful, and where the syst , m is suffering from excess of any kind they are very efficacious. As a general Faintly and Antibilious Medicine, Woolley's Pills are acknow ledged to he one of the most valuable preparations ever intro duced. They contain no mercury, antimony, or any delete. rious mineral or drastic purgative, but are composed entirely of herbs of a medicinal nature which act directly on the stomach and liver, freeing them from the various disorders to which they are subject. To Emigrants to all parts of the world, but more particularly if leaving a moderate or cold climate for a Lot one (which will almost invariably be found to affect the bilious system) these pills are invaluable. All about to un dertake a sea voyage will find them the best preventive to sea sickness; and, if taken a ccording to th e di rections, they at the same time prepare the system to resist any injurious -effects incident on change of cli mate. The following are selected from amongst the many thousand cures yearly effected by Woolley's Antitimous Pills :—\lr. E. .ALLCORN, in writing Mr. Sanders under date N ovember 16. 1852, says:—" have found th ern (w nolley's Antibi l i ons Pills) such an excellent aperient, that in all the common ailments which are so often recurring in a family, have invariably adopted them, and also recommended them t o my friends!'

It is decidedly the best arranged a most perfect I have seen. I have had a Kitchener in opera tion for twenty years en a similar principle, which is still very good, and does the work remarkably well ; but yours has improvements which greatly enhance its value. I have satisfaction in bearing testimony to the value of your Kitchener, which, among other perf ec ti ons , stan d s in a very smadspace.—Your obedient servant, W. BOMAN!. Dublin, March 7. TO MESSRS. HARRISON, RADCLYFFE ' AND BLUNT. Gentlemen,—When I bought my Patent Kitchener of you at the Industrial Exhibition of Ireland, in July last, I promised at the end of six months to report, if called on, respecting its qualities. It has been in operation now eight months, and I must say, it is in every way a most useful and ' excellent Cooking Grate. I have recommended it to many of my friends, several of whom have adopted it, and I will continue to do so, being perfectly satisfied that it is a great improvement in the kitchen department. J. AVMANN, Flurry-bridge. Oct. 20, - 1853. MESSRS. HARRISON, RADCLYFFE, AND BLUNT. Sirs,—l beg to enclose a check for amount of your account for Kitch , n Range. It is quite the thins you described it; it fully answers the purpose. Both Mrs. Thompson and myself are greatly pleased. It is the most complete, economical, satisfactory apparatus for cooking I ever saw. and very reasonable in price. I can safely reccommend it to any one who desires an economical, cleanly range. For small or large families it is equally convenient: a dinner for two or a dinner for thirty can be cooked with little trouble and great cleanliness.—l am, &c., H. THOM PSON. I forgot to mention that it roasts joints most perfectly; the meat is better flavoured, better done than in the common Way, and this was the point I was afraid of before I tried it; but now there is no doubt of the matter—superior in every respect. Flurry-park, Rahenny, near Dublin, March 15, 1854. MESSRS.HARRI , ON, RADCLYFFE, ANDBLUNT. LEAMINGTON. Sirs.—ln referring to your letter of the 14th instant, I have much pleasure in certifying to you that the Patent Kitchener (as shown at the Dublin Exhibition) which was sold to me by your representative, has given me much satisfaction. It has been in use now for about six weeks, and, so far as I can judge from such an experience, I find it efficient, economical, and simple in its management. 1 think it right to add that the workmen whom you provided for the fixing of it were expeditious and well-conducted.—l am, sirs, your obedient servant, M. BUSH E. 5, Grantham-street, Dublin, March 11, 1854. TO MESSRS. HARRISON AND CO. In answer to your request to know as to the Kitchener I bought of you at the Dublin Exhibition, I would simply state that it answers remarkably well, as there is nothing connected with cooking but what it performs with great cleanliness and precision.—Yours, &c., CHAS. SLATER. A MEETING of the proprietors of the City of Dublin Steam-packet Company was held on Monday, at their offices, Eden-quay, when a dividend of two per cent. for the half-year, free of income-tax, was declared. SCARCITY OP LABOURERS. The Waterford News says :—" Mr. Dargan has advertised for 260 men for the works at the Kilkenny side of the river. As yet he has not been able to procure anything like the requisite number." DIVORCE.—The case of " Talbot v. Talbot," which has occupied the Dublin Consistorial Court for the last week or two, was brought to a close on Tuesday. The Attorney- General had opened the case, in which the promovent Mr. Talbot, of Mount T a lb o t , i n th e county o f Roscommon, ' sued for a divorce from his wife, on the grounds that she had maintained a criminal intercourse with his groom or coachman, extending over a period of more than a year. The Solicitor-General, Mr. Keogh, stated the case for the respondent, Mrs. Talbot. Dr. Radcliffe, in pronouncing judgment, in an elaborate review of the evidence and the circumstances of the case, concluded by saying that the guilt of this unhappy lady had been conclusively esta blished, and that nothing further remained for him to do but to sign the sentence for a divorce. Tux RIGIIT HON. SIR JOHN PAKINGT6N, after receiv ing a memorial signed by 125 magistrates of Worcester shire, requesting him to resume the chairmanship of the Worcestershire quarter sessions, has acceded to the request. NEW RAILWAY BILL.—The New Railway and Canal Traffic Regulation Bill, introduced by Mr. Cardwell and the Solicitor-general, has been printed. It imposes the duty on railway companies to make arrangements for re ceiving and forwarding traffic, without unreasonable delay, and without partiality. Parties complaining that reason able facilities for forwarding traffic, &c., are withheld, may apply, by petition, to the superior courts. The judges may make such regulations as may be necessary for proceeding under the act. LIMITED LIABILITY.—A report by the committee has been made, the substance of which is, that, having exa mined commercial men of the highest authority, the evidence on both sides is so nearly balanced, that is, for and against limited liability in ordinary partnerships, that they, the committee, do not at present think it proper to recommend an alteration in the law. If they did, they deem it advisable to have a board (another job) to consider the cases of application in which it should be permitted. However, there are many great enterprises they report which could not be carried out without a limited liability. THE AUSTRALASIAN PACIFIC MAIL STEAM PACKET COMPANY.-At an extraordinary general meeting of share holders, held on Tuesday, at the London Tavern, the chairman (Mr. Hibberd) stated that nothing had occurred to alter the determination come to at the last meeting to dissolve the company. Considerable progress had been made towards the sale of their ships to the French com pany, and he believed that in June next they should be in a condition to return to the shareholders £5 per share as a beginning. A resolution dissolving the company was then carried unanimously, after which the meeting ad journed. WASHINGTON'S WIPE.—A guest at Mount Vernon hap pened to sleep in a room next to that occupied by the president and his jady. Late in the evening, when the people had retired to their various chambers, he heard the lady deliver a very animated lecture to her lord and master upon something Which he had done that she thought ought to have been done differently. To all this he listened in the profoundest silence ; and when she too was silent, he opened his lips .and spoke, "Now, good sleep to you, my dear." Portraits, and descriptions of her, show her to have been a pretty ,agreeable, kind, little woman, from whom it really could :nct` have been so disagreeable to have a curtain lecture. RUPTURES.

Within the last few days immense quantities of precious stones, sent from Constantinople to be converted into cash, have arrived in Paris, and an extraordinary depreciation in the market value of unset jewels has been the conse quence. The fall in diamonds within the space of a single week has been no less than 25 per cent. An imperial decree calls into active service, on land and afloat, 80,000 men, from the 140,000 of the class of 1853. An imperial decree, in the Itioniteur, re-establishes the Imperial Guard. It will form a mixed division, will be under the immediate orders of the Marsha of the Palace, and its service will consist in guarding the person of the Emperor. General St-Jean d'Angely is named Comman der of the Guard. A picked corps of cavalry, to be called the " Hundred Horse Guards," is also established. PRUSSIA The Austro-Prussian treaty or convention, recently negotiated by General Hess, at Berlin, was ratified there on Tuesday. It is anticipated that the treaty will be communicated to the Western Powers. Having satisfac torily accomplished this task, General Hess was next to make Frankfort the scene of his diplomacy. BERLIN, MAY I.—The news is considered confirmed here that a grand and final attempt is being prepared at St. Petersburg for gaining over Prussia to the side of Russia. The bait is to be a treaty of commerce. It is supposed the Czar, if not from political motives, is willing to conclude it, since the total drying up of his revenues from import duties and the rapid growth of the smuggling trade must soon convince him bow ruinously his com mercial system is acting on his own empire. No treaty of commerce has been made between the two countries since 1826, and it was suffered to expire in 1836. STETTIN, MAY I.—The Prussian Government, that allows arms to pass to Russia, stops accoutrements for Sweden. About 8,000 helmets were sent here from the Swedish embassy in Berlin, in order to be shipped across to Stockholm. An order has just been received prohibit ing their exportation. GREECE. The Greek government has issued a circular to the European powers, giving its o wn vers i on o f th e prox i mate causes of the departure of the Ottoman ambassador from Athens ; remonstrating against the expulsion of the Greeks from Turkey ; and taking great credit to the go vernment of King Otho for not having imitated this conduct. SWEDEN. The London Gazette, of Friday, contains a despatch of King Oscar of Sweden; laying down the rules and regu lations agreed to by the King and government, for the preservation of the neutrality of. Sweden during the ap proaching struggle between Russia and the Western Powers. Privateering is forbidden, and the ports of Sweden are closed against all foreign privateers. The document is dated from the Castle of Stockholm, on the 6th of April, 1854, and signed by his Majesty, and coun tersigned by J. F. Fahraens. CAPE OF GOOD HOPE. By the Seringapatatn, Gimblett, from Bombay, advices have been received from the Cape of Good Hope to the sth March. The Crcesus steamer, which left Southampton on the 11th of January, arrived at the Cape on the 28th of February, on her way to Melbourne. The Mauritius steamer had also reached the same place on the Ist of March, bound to India. The discovery of gold in the Orange River Sovereignty had been confirmed. In the especial locality of Smithfield several nuggets were alleged to have been obtained, weighing from one to four ounces each ; but in the majority of cases the gold is found in minute particles. So much faith was placed in the reports that parties had been induced to forfeit the deposit they had paid for passages to Australia in the Falcon from Algoa Bay. Specimens of quartz, with nuggets, from the Sovereignty, had been exhibited in the Commercial Ex change. AMERICA. By the United States mailsteaTnship Hermann, Capt. Higgins, arrived off Southampton, we have intelligence from New York to the 22nd ult. At 3 p.m. on the 6th, off the Start, the Hermann passed the transport bark No. 38, standing to the south. On the 27th ult., in lat. 40.15, long. 50.15, spoke the ship Mary Glover, bound west; and on the 2nd inst., the English ship Faside, of Glasgow, for Quebec. The British and North American mail steamer Asia, from Liverpool, arrived at N ew Y or k on the 20th ult. The packetship Underwriter, from Liverpool, had not been got off, but remained at Squan Beach at the date of the last accounts. She would come off, it was hoped, the next fine weather. All her passengers had been landed in safety. The ship Saxony, from Boston, bound to Matan zas, went ashore on the Bth of April on the coast of Florida, to the southward of Jupiter Inlet, and was left with 12 feet of water in her hold. Advices from Mexico, in the New York Herald, state that Santa Anna and Alvarez had ceased hostilities, the former having made concessions to the latter. The Herald says:—" Our despatches from Washington bring us some details concerning the melancholy dissolution of the Gadsden treaty. It appears that the most strenuous efforts were made by the Administration to save this joint-stock compact with Santa Anna and his American allies in the job. It seems that the President, as a last desperate expedient to enforce ratification, threatened, if the treaty were rejected, to occupy the Mesilla valley with a military force, and thus get us into a war with Mexico, as if the war in Europe were not large enough for our warlike Administration. To be sure, it is a fearful thing to contemplate the • danger of a war with Santa Anna, especially as he has neither money nor means to sustain himself at home, unless supplied from our Treasury. The treaty, however, has gone by the board, and we shall wait patiently to see whether. General Gadsden or General Cushing is sent down to make a new treaty, or whether General Scott is sent down again, with 10,000 men at his back, for another martth to the Halls of the Montezumas. But we are very much afraid that in a war with Mexico the Administration will fail as signally as it has failed in everything else. It is stated that the probabilities are in favour of the adoption of the Sloo amendment to the Gads den treaty by the Senate, and the confirmation of the treaty itself," In the New York markets ashes were in moderate re quest. The market for breadstuffs unsettled, the common sorts having declined in consequence of an absence of export demand, while the medium and finer sorts were in good request at rather firmer rates. Wheat more inquired for. Corn tending upwards. Cotton firm, at cent advance. Freights without ma t er i al alteration. Provi sions were less active. The navigation of Lake Erie was reported to be unobstructed by ice. The New York stock market unchanged. Exchange on London, 109 to 1094. THE WAR. BOMBARDMENT OF ODESSA. The Moniteur, of Saturday, contains an official despatch from the French admiral, respecting the attack upon Odessa by the combined fleets. It states that the bombard ment took place on the 22nd of April, commencing at six o'clock in the morning, the fleet consisting of three French and five English frigates. Two of the moles and batteries very speedily returned the fire of the ships. At ten o'clock the combined fleets were joined by four other frigates. The action continued until five o'clock in the afternoon. The powder magazine belonging to the mole exploded. Fifteen of the enemy's vessels were either sunk or burned. The marine establishments were very much damaged by fire or by shells. The commercial harbour was spared,.and the merchant ships contained within it escaped destruc tion. The loss of the allies only amounted to five killed and wounded. This despatch was dated on board the Ville de Paris, before Odessa, on the 25th of April. It is stated that the combined fleets afterwards sailed from Odessa for Sebastopol; and that thirteen Russian ships, laden with munitions of war, had been taken. A letter from Odessa, dated 24th ult., states that the bombardment produced great terror among the inhabitants ; they emigrated en masse, and the town was almost deserted. Several foreign consuls went on board the English and French vessels. Admiral Dundas declared that an indemnity will be paid for the Austrian vessel burned in the port. On the 23d and 24th the bombardment did not continue, but the in habitants feared that it would be recommenced. The blockading squadron consisted of twenty-four vessels placed in three lines, eight in each. It was only the vessels of the first line which fired. The warehouses situated on the port, and belonging to European commerce, did not receive any damage. The English and French gunners aimed admirably, and only hit the houses and warehouses of Rus sians. A combat took place on the 9th between an Eng lish vessel and a Russian corvette. The official Moniteur gives its recital of the affair as follows : The government has received the following details of the attack directed against Odessa by the admirals of the combined fleets. We know not which to admire the most, th e energy and the rapidity or the certainty of the blow which the two navies have struck on this occasion, An attack had been committed against the law of nations by the military authorities of Odessa. The object of the admirals was to chastise the authors of it. It is on the military part of the Russian town, on its warlike esta blishments, that our sailors concentrated their fire; and Europe will remark with what scruples of humanity and with what precision of movement they kept the effects of the attack beyond the commercial part of the place, and spared it, as well as the property of neutrals, from any damage. In acting with this consideration and generosity the French admiral coiTformed himself to the general in structions which he received in compliance with the wish of the Emperor, and which prescribed to him to spare open towns as much as possible : " Ville de Paris, Odessa Roads, April 25. " On the morning of the 22nd eight steam frigates (three French and five English) proceeded to the Imperial port of Odessa, and at half-past six four of them had opened their fire on the land batteries. The two moles, as well as the intermediate batteries, warmly returned it. At ten o'clock four other frigates joined, and then the action became general. It continued until five o'clock in the evening, when Admiral Dundas and I made signal to the frigates to join the squadron. The fire had quieted the battery of the Imperial mole, the powder-magazine had blown up, and 15 vessels, with the exception of two or three, were either sunk or on fire. The naval estab lishments were also on fire or very much injured• from the shells. The town and the commercial port, where a num ber of vessels of all' nations were moored, were respected. Several of these vessels took advantage of the confusion and got out, and among others the only two French vessels that were there."' The Turkish ambassador has received from the Ottoman legation at Vienna the following dispatch, on the subject of the same fact "I have just received the following dispatch from Bel grade; it has been communicated to me by Omer Pacha, who begged me to transmit it to you. Eight steam-frigates belonging to the combined fleets proceeded to Odessa, and commenced bombarding the military port on the 22nd. In a few hours they destroyed all the fortifications, the bat teries, and the military establishments of the Russians. Two powder-magazines blew up, and 12 of the enemy's vessels of war were sunk. The commercial port was spared, and the merchant vessels escaped ; 13 Russian vessels laden with stores and ammunition were captured." The town of Odessa was defended by four batteries, which were constructed about the beginning of this year, and were placed as follows : the first, of 12 guns, on the mole of the quarantine port, defending the entrance of the great roadstead ; the second, of a guns, below the boule • yard, and to the right of the flight of steps which comes down to the sea, and divides the boulevard in two ; this battery defends the entrance of the quarantine port ; the third, to the left of the steps, placed in such a manner as to cross its fire with that of the second battery, and to command the roadstead ; the fourth, on the quay of the port de pratique, below the palace of Prince Woronzow ; each of these two last named batteries had 8 guns. In addition to these four batteries, there were three others ; one on the other side of the Gulf of Odessa, at the Russian village of Dofiinofka, nearly opposite the quarantine port; the other to the south of the port, near the country-house of the Countess of Langeron ; and the third in the same direction, and near the Cape of the Great Fountain, where a lighthouse is also placed. A letter from the Baltic, of the 25th ult., states :—" The thaw of the Neva is expected in two days. The ice has already broken up in the Gulf at a little distance from Cronstadt, which will be very probably accessible at the end of the month. The approach of hostilities is strongly felt at St. Petersburg, and measures are being taken with a view to dangers which are profoundly apprehended, though denied. Four batteries have just been established at the entrance of the Neva. The treasure in the fortress was sent, eight days ago, to Moscow. From the 27th the command of the town will be divided between four mili tary governors, and the state of siege will be applied in all its rigour. Many persons are leaving for the interior of the country. The departure of the Emperor for Peterhoff, where the Court was to have gone on the 27th, is adjourned. The displeasure (mecontentementl caused by the policy of Austria was every day expressed more openly. It had been affirmed in some saloons that the Government was preparing to place that power, by an ultimatum, under the necessity of pronouncing for or against it. His Majesty is in such ill health that he had been obliged to counter mand twice a review which he had intended to pass." We have news from the Baltic fleet to April 26, at which it was still lying at anchor, at Elfsnabben, four miles distant from Stockholm, where it arrived 19 sail strong, on the 23d, or even earlier. The force has been subsequently increased. At Stockholm Admiral Napier bad an audience of the King, who is said to have received him most graciously, to have kept him to luncheon, and, at leaving, to have conducted him as far as the steps of the palace. In Stockholm 100 oxen had been purchased and sent on board, part alive, part as carcasses. It was under stood that no operation of importance would be com menced until the arrival of our French allies. The block ade of the Russian harbours was assumed to be already in force, inasmuch as the Lubeck vessel, Alexandra, bound for Riga, was turned back by our cruisers, both off Bol dera and off Liban, and has since put into Memel.. On the 11th, the brig Dido, Captain Holmberg, of Ranmo, with 2,000 casks of salt; on the 16th, the brig Ida, Capt. Steen, of Helsingfors, with 2,900 sacks of coffee ; and, on the 17th, the brig Patrioten, Capt. Rockelman, of Gamle Carleby, from London, with ballast and 900 casks of salt on board, were brought in prizes to the Stockholm roads. The population of the Swedish capital make frequent I excursions to visit the fleet, and, as it would seem from the local journals, have every reason to be satisfied with the reception they meet with. The Senate, on the 26th, issued a prohibition to all Hamburgs to connect them selves in any way with privateering, and all privateers are forbidden entering the Hamburg ports, either with or with out prizes. A similar prohibition has also appeared at Lubeck. A letter from the D o b ru d sc h a o f th e 17th u lt ., says : " The deserters arrived here from the Russian army say that the Danube overflowed and carried away all the raft bridges, the communication with the right bank of the Danube is cut off, and for the last four days the armies have been without provisions. Their number is 60,000 men. They lost 4,000 in passing the river. The place on which they are encamped is very marshy, and their loss is 100 men per diem. RUSSIAN " CHAMPIONS OF CHRIST."—The volunteer corps of " cross bearers," organised by the Russians in Wallachia, as a.chosen band of champions of Christ, has been disbanded, not as a concession to Austria, but on account of its indomitable propensity to stealing. MONTENEGRO.—Prince Daniel issued a manifesto on the 28th March, calling upon all brave Montenegrins who do not fear to die, to join him as volunteers, and fight for the holy cross, (Russia,) the orthodox faith, and their country. It is said that Prince Daniel can raise 20,000 men, and enter at once Albania and the Herzegovina. Austria views this rising with alarm ; and will, it is said, intervene to crush it. A medical man, writing from the seat of war, says : " In Russia it is believed, in military quarters, you can at any moment produce cholera artificially by compressing together, as it were, large masses of soldiers, and that, under certain such conditions, cholera, after being a while in a district, becomes contagious." THE INSURRECTION IN ALBANlA.—Letters just re ceived from Corfu confirm the capture by the Turks of Peta, a strong position of the Greeks near Arta, in south ern Albania, and announce the re-taking, by the Sultan's troops, of the town of Metzovo, a very important position indeed, for it commands the principal pass over the chain of Pindus, between Epirus and Thessaly. The inhabitants of Metzovo are entirely Christian, and were wealthy from the carrying trade, in which they were almost all engaged. They allege openly, that they were induced to throw off their allegiance to the Sultan by Signor Rosetti, the Greek consul, -who has just been expelled from Janina. No sooner had they done so than the Greek General Grivas came to " protect" them, and began his operations by levying a contribution of 100,000 piastres upon the town, and by stripping every woman in it of her jewels, and of all her gold and silver ornaments. He then fortified him self with about 300 picked men, in some loop-holed houses, burnt-all the other houses that might have interfered with his retreat, and awaited the Turkish General's (Abdi Pasha's) arrival, exhorting the people of Metzovo to de fend themselves gallantly. This they did for a short time; but Abdi Pasha's irregulars, with -the plunder of such a town before them, soon put an end to all resistance. Grivas never stirred from his snug retreat, but made good his position till night; Abdi Pasha having no heavy artil lery, and then made his escape, while the Albanians were too intent upon pillage to watch him. He got safe off with his booty, which was what he chiefly came for, and the deputation of Metiovites, which waited upon Abdi Pasha to make their submission, and to beg for an am nesty, declare that they would sooner live for ever under the Turks than endure for another week such Christian tyranny. Abdi Pasha did all in his power to protect the Greek prisoners, and to preserve that portion of the town which is still standing ; but the Albanian irregulars had had been roused to the greatest fury, and, indeed, van quished rebels do not receive very mild treatment in any country. The lonian Islands are tranquil, though, of course, there is great excitement in all parts of the Levant where there are Greeks. A telegraphic dispatch states that the Russian barque Argo, from Cardenas, for this port, had been taken into Queenstown, a prize to a revenue -cutter.. Lieut. Raymond, RN., hoisted his pendant, as Admiralty agent, on board the fine frigate-built ship Tyrone, trans port No. 57, on Tuesday, and sailed from the Mersey on Wednesday, having under his orders also transports Nos. 52, 53, 55, 56, and 71, which vessels are to embark a por tion of the 11th Hussars and their horses for conveyance to the seat of war in the East. Constant calms and light head winds pi evented the Tyrone making a very quick passage to Kingstown. The French squadron lying in the Downs, with the ex ception of three vessels, sailed for the Baltic on Monday last week. The three vessels left behind were the frigate Andromague, and the two-deckers Breslau and Tage. The Breslau, which had been damaged by a collision with tile Tage during a gale of wind on Tuesday, has since proceeded to Sheerness to be repaired; and the Tage also stands in need of some repair. The ships of the French squadron in the Downs have been very good customers to the trades men of Deal, having spent £l,OOO for fresh meat, and one baker was nearly overwhelmed by an order for 14,000 loaves. SOLDIERS' FAMILIES.—Major Powys, secretary to the Central Association for Soldiers' Families, has written to the daily journals stating that as yet no money has reached the Association from the treasurer of the funds raised at the Drury-lane demonstration and fancy fair.

AN AMERICAN PRIVATEER IN TIIE CllA.NNEL.—lntel ligence has been received by the Admiralty, that an Ameri can clipper, the Grapeshot, has captured a French merchant ship off the Laud's End. The Grapeshot cleared out of New York, on the 23d of March, for St. Thomas's, with 1,500 packages on board, professedly of hardware, but really containing 500 muskets and supposed to be bound for Finland, and failing debarkation, then for the Medi terranean. This will explain the story of a Russian frigate in the Channel.--Morning Herald.—Upon this statement the Shipping and Mercantile Gazette say es :—" There is no mention of this by any of our agents in the locality referred to, and on inquiry at the Admiralty this morning we are informed that there is not a word ;of truth in the statement." The eighteen Finnish-Russian seamen, portions of the crews of the captured Russian ships, Kamptscliatka and Carlos, which have been brought up the river and taken into the London and West India Docks, continue prisoners on board Her Majesty's ship Crocodile, off the Tower Quay. The men think very little of the Czar, and have expressed their readiness to join Her Majesty's service. Measures are about being taken to ship them on board merchant ships bound to Australia, India, or on any long voyage where they may be far away from the seat of war. They appear hardy and active young fellows, and are described to be very smart sailors. According to the pre sent rate of wages in the port of London, the men will be entitled to an advance sufficient to equip them for the new service. THE SUPPLEMENTAL ESTIMATES. Supplemental estimates were laid before parliament on Wednesday for the navy, army, and ordnance. The sum required for the naval expenditure of the year which has just commenced, beyond the amount already voted, is no less than 4;4,553,731 ; but two-thirds of this amount (R3,096;100) are for the expense of transporting troops and horses, an item of expenditure which it is the practise to charge to the navy, and not to the army de partment. Of the remaining portion of this estimate, £1,457,031, which is for the effective naval service, one of the first items is £220,000, required for a year's wages for an additional 5,000 seamen ; and it is proposed also to take a vote of £llO,OOO, for pay for six months additional, for 5,000 seamen (of the 41,000 already voted), for. whom six months' wages only were voted in the original navy esti mates. Corresponding charges follow for victuals and medicines, and one of £47,000 for additional expense in in wages to artificers at home. There are also items of £160,000 for fuel for steam-vessels, £252,674 for the pur chase and repair of steam machinery, and £244,657 for the purchase of steam-vessels, gunboats, &c. The supple mental estimate also includes £BO,OOO to provide for the balance of pay due to the representatives of the officers and crews of the Erebus and Terror up to the 31st March last. The supplemental army estimate is for a further addi tion of 14,799 (of all ranks) to the land forces, raising their numbers to 142,766, or 40,493 more than were voted at this time last year. The additional charge to be now voted is only £300,000 ; but the total additional charge, as compared with the army estimate voted at this time last year, will thereby be raised to £1,132,470. The supplemental ordnance estimate is for £742,132. The larger portion of the amount is required for stores and :barrack supplies—£44,62l for great coats, £22,113 for boots imdshoes for troops in the field, £30,000 for horses, The estimates for the three services, as originally framed and voted, amounted to £17,621,312, being an increase of £2,257,236 upon the votes of last year. A supplemental army tstimate of £570,000 has since been voted. The supplemental estimates to be now voted are Navy—Effective service £1,457,041 Transport of troops and horses Army Ordnance .. 3,096,700 £4,553,731 • 300,000 • 742,132 .. £5,595,863 REVEL AND CRONSTADT. Tim following description of the Russian ports in the Baltic, which may probably soon form the scene of encounters with the allied fleets, will, no doubt, be read with much interest. We are indebted for it to our able London contemporary, The Press : At the entrance to the Gulf of Finland, after the navi gator has doubled the isle and lighthouse of Odensholm, the first points of interest are the fort of Rogervich and the great harbour called Port Baltic. Before Russia pos sessed the splendid harbours of Finland vast works were began by Peter the Great, and continued by the Empresses Elizabeth and Catherine, for the purpose of shutting in the port of Rogervich by a dyke and rendering it fit for a naval station. But the operations required were not less formi dable than those of Cherbourg, and the government ulti mately abandoned them. Revel, which lies eight leagues from Rogervich, has .thus become the first or westernmost military harbour on the gulf. The city of that name is the capital of Esthonia, contains some 25,000 inhabitants, and is situated about 130 leagues from St. Petersburg. The harbour of Revel is extensive, with a great depth of water. Around it,are building-docks, a naval arsenal, a cannon foundry, and all other works requisite for a mili tary port. The town stands on an elevation, and is strongly fortified, especially on the side towards the sea. The guns of the citadel command the harbour, althoUgh from some distance. The channel leading into the port winds amongst islands and sandbanks, which render the navigation extremely difficult, especially when, as at pre sent, the buoys and landmarks are removed. But, in spite of these difficulties, the Russians themselves have never ' considered Revel impregnable, as they do Cronstadt or Sveaborg. The government has, however, taken vigorous measures to strengthen its defences. New 'batteries have been constructed; its suburbs razed within the radius of a cannon shot; the women, children, and infirm sent out of the town ; and the civic and judicial authorities trans ferred to Veissenstein, a little town ten leagues inland. Finally, a corps of 30,000 men has been despatched to protect the city and its environs. Penetratinc , deeper into the Gulf of Finland, we arrive at Cronstadt, which may be considered at once the out work, the arsenal, and the commercial entrepot of St. Petersburg. Eight leagues of water separate the two localities ; but that water is seldom more than eight feet deep, so that all large vessels, and even the packet steam ers, are obliged to stop and unload at Cronstadt. Ships of-war are indeed built at St. Petersburg, where there are excellent building and graving docks, but they are always sent to Cronstadt to be rigged and armed; and even the bare hulls of the larger vessels are transported down the shallow waters of the Neva on " camels." Some years since the Emperor Nicholas ordered a gigantic ship-of-the line, intended to carry 140 guns, to be built in his capital; but the proportions were so badly calculated that, when finished, it was found impossible to convey it to the sea, and the marine colossus was perforce taken to pieces without ever being launched. Cronstadt itself contains three ports —one used for commercial purposes, another for the repair and outfit of ships-of-war, the third as a station for the Russian navy. Cronstadt lies upon the island of Kottline, three leagues in length by half a league in breadth. Its western point is, however, much narrower. Sandbanks surround it on e iery side except at the south-east extremity, where the t)wn and harbour are situated. Opposite to the island oa the south lies Oranienbaum, on the coast of Ingria. Along this shore another sandbank stretches, and extends so far into the sea as to leave but a narrow and winding channel by way of entrance to Cronstadt harbour. Within the port, moreover, the water is from six to seven fathoms deep, but the channel in places is barely four—a depth by no means sufficient for huge 131 gun ships like the Duke of Wellington, for whose passage even the Sound was not considered safe. Beyond this channel and the harbour, on the side towards St. Petersburg, there is a roadstead, but too shallow for ships-of-war, and only imperfectly sheltered by the island of Cronstadt and the heights of Oranienbaum. Farther on, as we have mentioned, the water shoals to eight feet. All this part of the gulf is brackish, the proportion of salt in the water diminishing as we approach the eastern extremity, where it degenerates into a series of lagoons leading up to Lake Ladoga. In its double character of fortress and trading town, Cronstadt boasts a fluctuating population amounting sometimes to 50,000 souls, if we include some 20,000 gar rison, and the commercial and maritime residents. The town is built of wood. Except the Admiralty, the great hospital, and the military works of all sorts, there are no edifices either of strength or importance in the place. The batteries, the forts, and the vast moles which surround its three harbours, are indeed of the most imposing magnifi cence. Russia has always been addicted to a kind of thea trical display in her public performances of all kinds. There is much of this developed in the fortifications at Cronstadt, although they also possess the reality of strength to a serious degree. Approaching Cronstadt from the west, we have on the left the western angle of the island forming a sharp point, extended into the sea by a line of rocks, of which the last is crowned by the lighthouse of Talboukin. After wards we pass the south coast of the isle, lined with batte ries, and in front a series of five forts, placed chequerwise, on rocks or banks, between which winds the deep water channel leading into the harbour. On the right, about two leagues off, are the heights of Oranienbaum, with its imperial park and chateau. In the distance, when the fogs permit, may be traced the outlines of St. Petersburg, whose lofty edifices, and the gilded dome of the Church of St. Isaac, stand out in bold relief against the sky. The, most formidable defences w hi c h Cronstadt possesses are those that guard the entrance to its trirl^ harbour. There are five forts in the sea and seven on th= shore or the moles. These forts are furnished with casemated bat teries, each of two or three stages, and the greater part of them built of huge squared blocks of granite, whereon it is said shot can make no impression. The position of these batteries has been carefully adjusted so as to enfilade the different sinuosities of the channel, so that.every ship approaching Cronstadt must be exposed to a series of raking fires in front, without having a chance of bringing her broadside to bear until she has arrived actually be tween the forts. A single vessel also sunk in mid-channel would efiectually choke up the passage. A technical description of this mass of fortifications would be very uninteresting and altogether unintelligible without a plan. We must, therefore, content ourselves with a brief enumeration of the series of cannon-crowded piles of masonry which an intruding fleet will have suc cessively to confront. On the coast of the island, and lying to the west of the channel, there are—l. The Peters fort, presenting 'to 'the sea a rounded curtain, flanked by two casemated bastions. These bastions have a double tier of guns, of which the upper is an "en barbette," i.e., uncovered from above. The fort mounts altogether seventy-six pieces of large calibre. 11. The Kesel battery, mounting eight cannon on the water level. 111. A bat tery commanding the landing place, situated outside the walls of the town,' on a projecting cape, comprising ten guns. IV. The great mole, covering the commercial harbour on the west, and presenting an immense battery of seventy cannon and twelve mortars right in front of all entering vessels. V. Fort Menschikoff, constructed op posite the mole on the other side of the harbour. This fort constitutes a parallelogram, pierced with forty-four embrasures, and mounted with cannon of ten and twelve inches calibre. VI. A battery, which commands the second or outfitting harbour. VII. Another battery, on the mole of the military harbour at the soutb-east of the island and the town. The moles which we have men tioned are not mere jetties thrown forward into the sea, but continuous works surrounding and dividing the three harbours. They are formed of double ranges of piles, whose surface is broad enough both for the passage of vehicles and the manoeuvring of the guns. The three ports have two entrances apiece, each of the six openings being masked by a large demi-lune formed of piles, which are crowned with cannon, and flank the curtains of the moles. These land batteries mount about 250 large guns. In addition, there are a series of forts built in the sea, and containing about 400 more. The first of these, reckoning from seawards, consists of a pair of forts called Alexander and Risbank, between which all vessels must pass at a dis tance from each of about eight hundred yards, for the channel, which narrows afterwards, is nearly a mile wide at its entrance. Fort Alexander is, in its ground plan, of an elliptical shape —an enormous granite pate, it has been called—consisting of a front with four tiers of cannon, two flanks with thr4e tiers, and a rear wall mounted with guns en barbette. It is built of granite, on piles driven through eighteen feet of water. Ships rounding this fort are com manded by 116 eight and ten inch guns. Risbank, which lies to the right, is also built of granite, on a foundation of piles in sixteen feet water. It contains sixty-two heavy guns in two tiers, the lowest of which is on the water level. Then comes Fort Constantine, nearly facing the Petersfort already mentioned, and containing twenty-five guns in a single tier ; and afterwards we approach the Fort St. Peter, facing the battery on the landing-place, and armed with fifty cannon, twenty-eight of which are in casemates. Last is the grand fort of Crpnslott, at once the is most an cient and the neare s t t o th e h ar b our. It s f orm. that of an irregular pe n t agon , fl an k e d b y fi ve small bastions atits angles. The armament consists of fifty-six guns in case mated embrasure s , an d thi r ty-t wo i no p en batter i es. Crons lott forms the Menschikoff fort, the former to the right, the latter to the left, of the deep water channel, whichat that point is b are ly t wo h un dred yards in width. Pass ing ships must, therefore, approach within one hundreds yards of one or other of these formidable batteries. The total number of guns, mortars, &c., mounted upon all the forts we have enumerated is nearly six hundred, and their fire crosses at almost every point. Their combined strength doubtless prompted the Emperor Nicholas when rece n tl y saying, with a smile of irony, " I am curious to learn by which end they will lay hold of Cronstadt." Many of the forts above described are assailable from the ,rear ; but their rear never could be assailed until Cronstadt itself had fallen. There is, no doubt, a northern shore to the island. But the channel on this side is com paratively shallow, and has been carefully obstructed by the Russians, who have driven in a double row of piles six miles in length, and filled up w ith mass i ve blocks of stone, It is, however, in this qua r t er th a t an attacking force itwould, is stated, find its best chance of success. A powerful fleet to keep the command at sea, a flotilla of gun-boats for the shallow waters, and a strong body of land forces, comprising 26, or 30,000 men, well supplied with engineering tools and materials, might, it is believed, overcome all obstacles and effect a lodgment on the north west point of the i s l an d . There they might cover their position with intrenchments in the course of a couple of nights, and thence besiege the town and fortifications from the rear, or shell them from a distance. None of the sea forts, except perhaps Forts Costantine and St. Peter, are near enough to do any damage to the invaders on that side. And though the higher guns of the great forts on the channel command the surface of the ground, the enemy may speedily place themselves in the shelter of en- TUESDAY, MAY 9,18 M -- 4 trenchments, where nothing but bombs could ear _ o ch If once masters of the batteries along not only diminish by one-half the danger 0 be ell „tet by the attacking fleet, but might silence the gre',l te v if not all, of the sea forts. The capture, from t ` o side, of Petersfort and the Kesel battery is g at -di!: no means impracticable, the chief strength of tho, being turned towards the sea. Even their capture pt! not enable the assailing fleet to force the narr °sl be 1 1 tween Cronslott and Fort Menschikoff; but t would win their way into positions whence tin; D O effectually bombard the harbour of Cronstadt, shore, the3o? operate with the land siege of the fortress. From another weapon of assault— famine - - r° a t v protected by its 'climate: During four month s, of every yea r , th e wa t ers are frozen between tbe.,oll, and St. Petersburg, and a constant communicabue'oijf means of sledges is opened with the capital. 0 ° t if 0 hand, if the blockading squadron should allow itsesteti caught in the ice, every ship would inevitably be c t i , e ,/, by cannon brought over the frozen surface into ''ll, tageous positions, if not surrendered before ban"; 00; taking of Cronstadt," says the Dibats, in a n jet! which we are indebt e d for many of the foregoing td " would inflict a blow on the Russian empire mo re than the loss of ten provinces, since it would th er . e, its navy. St. Petersburg would soon find itself f i at the entrance of th e N eva, an d b om b ar d e d bY which would be supported by the fleet in e s ,. v e l l ; Cronstadt. This danger is not, perhaps, ininfro n 'il for this reason that the Russian Government has CO together round that port the most formidable ;L . ', defence. Peter the Great, in founding his M I " founded Cronstadt, in which his genius must be 8d b for it must be seen that, without Cronstadt, re tel l ti t the superb, with its eight feet of water, would codft, small coasting port, that might be blockaded an barded by gun-boats."
