THE 'BALTIC.

DESPATCHES FROM GENERAL SIMTSON,
AND ADMIRALS LYONS & DUNDAS.

Admiral Lyons on the 10th, encloses a letter from Lieutenant
Hewitt, commander of the Beagle, reporting the destruction
of the Floating Bridge, in the Straits of Genitchi. He praises
the conduct of those engaged, and particularly mentions
Joseph Trewevas, ordinary seaman, lent from the Agamem-
non, who cot the hawsers connecting a ferry of two large
floats, whiel composed the bridge. They were exposed to a
very heavr fire of musketry, but returned the fire and caused
great confusion and loss amongst the enemy. The casualties
were only two men wounded.

Captain Telverton, in the Arrogant, with the Magicienne,
and Ruby gunboat, destroyed a large Cossack encampment at
Kossunda Bay. Next day they destroyed a Cossack barrack
and stables, at the mouth of the river Tortsoiki. In Trang-
sued Bay, a Russian .man-of-war,•with- •bwo large gunboats,
Was perceived, the Ruby opened fire on her, and she soon
retired out of range, having, it is thought, received some
damage. At the entrance to the sound near Viborg, there
were three4arge gunboats and another steamer about a mile
off, but.,a 'barrier impeded the passage.of the gunboat and
launches. A masked battery opened a heavy fire of musketry,
round and grape, which was instantly•retarned by the Ruby
and boats.
As it was 'impossible to get the Ruby through the barrier,
Captain Yelverton returned towards Stralsund. An explosion
occurred in the Arrogant's boat ; the men were saved, but
Mr. Storey, nidshipman in command,-was killed.
Casualties.—Arrogant : Killed : Mr. Storey, midshipman.
Woundeld: Lieutenant Woolecombe and six men (one since
dead). Magicienne : Wounded, three men.

THE FUNDS.
The 'English market was firmer to-day, and Consols, in-
fluenced by money purchases, experienced, towards the close,
a slight advance. Railway Shares were rather depressed in
the forenoon, but eventually rallied, vith the exception of
Great Northern Stocks, which close lower. Land and Bank
Shares generally more active, but have not materially altered.
Foreign Securities generally weak. Sales of Turkish were
freely made-this morning, and prices temporarily declined,
but at the. close they showed an advance •on the lower rates of
Saturday.
