" On board the Montebello, June 2,5,
u Rhitehrs,—When the town of Bartel wee
abandoned by the Russian troops that formed item
rigout the Tartar population and the marauders ofthi
three armies, and of the Ottoman army more mt.
cularly, practised some pillage in a town which in,
at the moment utterly without police or
force. The museum of antiquities at &etch had
long before given up its most valuable 001.
Ileums ; the medals, amongst other rare objects, had
completely disappeared, but there remained
urns and some bas-reliefs, which the commandant if
the Phlegeton collected and plated under seal, The
chests containing those objects have been placed b,
my orders on board the Pomona I have the hepoir
to request your Excellency to let me know what I au
to do with the objects saved from devastation. Thin
objects, I should say, are of bat little valin.
Most of the bas•rehels were too heavy to ha
taken on board the Phlegeton. They were Wt
in the Museum of 'Leech, exposed to mutilaticee
which happily have fallen upon those object. a/
which the historic value is smallest. On the wilds,
I do not think that science has much reason to rept
the destruction which has taken place in the Masai
at Kertch. Some urns in terra ootts, and suen
vitreous ware, have been broken; valuable Wight
had been previously removed by the owners, and the

honourable manner, the qualities of intrepidity and ardour

Sir 8. M. Peto, accompanied by Mr. Taylor, solicitor, of
Furnivere-inn, waited upon Mr. Arnold, in reference to a
statement made is this court by a man named Howard, owe
of the "navvies" sent out to the Crimea.
I From the ezpleaations given by Mr. Taylor, it appeared
that Howard, with others, left Eogland on the 19th of
December, in the Prince of Wales, but, owing to hie Mktg
been guilty of robbing some of the men of their clothes, he
wee tried by a naval courtmartial oar board the Queen, in
Beicce Bay, and, having been convicted, was ordered to be
mot home. Tyson and Noble, two other navvies, were ma.
victed by the court of the same offense. In consequence of
this conviction aloes had an end been put to their contract.
Howard had not been allowed to do any work at Balakiava
en the railway, and was not entitled to any wages in cos-
mica therewith; so that his statemeot on that head was
quite groundless. The firm had considered the three mew
gadded to their wages up to the time of their convietioa—
i. S., from, the 19th of December to the 31st of 'meaty.
Mossy had been paid for them in London, in ignorance of
their misconduct on their passage out ; and Howard had
be all received 10!. is., and bed therefore been overpaid
lie. When the three 000victed men reached Belakiave,
fair B. Lyme said that they might be discharged to their
week if Mr. Beatty thought proper ; but Mr. Beatty
sad a committee formed of the principal officers of the en-
▪ ring, transport, and other departments, idecided that
tit would be very injudicious to employ copyists& felesewith

TEE PARIS UNIVERSAL SHOWER BATH.

(7101‘ TUB COII,3IISPOI4DINT OP TRY DAILY IftWII.)
PARIS, Me: 23.
People with faith in the water cure should hasten
to Paris. Here, for five francs, visitors to the Uni-
versal Exhibition may enjoy the services of a medical
staff, a bureau de rensespeements, • post-office, the
elements of an industrial show, sad a shower bath.
This bath was particularly enjoyed in the Indian de-
partment yesterday ; but in every part of the build-
ing, when the day is rainy, visitors may be pleasantly
startled by a heavy cool drop of water falling upon
the bridge of the nose; or spotting the freshest of
summer bonnets. And then exhibitors, with goods
decidedly averse to washing, enjoy the fun of seeing
fabrics of great value playfully pelted from the roof,
or cullender, above them. lam informed, however,
that some tiresome people have grown restive under
the influence of these practical jokes, and intend to
make a demonstration against the water cure as at
present imposed upon them by the company which
misgoverns the Palais de rlndustrie. Meantime let Ex-
hibition visitors, who will come before the Exhibition
is ready, prepare for their journey a good, broad um-
brella, and a waterproof cape. Ladies would be
safest in clogs.

OF TER DAILY waws.)
PARIS, SATURDAY.
A despatch to the following effect has been received
from General Pelissier :

SEBASTOPOL, MAT 24.

A very energetic combat, directed against our im-
pedant position, has lasted all night. We obtained
a ooasplete success. The enemy's lose was enor-
mous, and ours sensible.

Is addition to the above despateh, there appeared
(we learn from a Second Edition of the Tines) is
the Nositear of this morning the following from
(ism. Pelisaier, dated the 23rd.:—
„ The arse bad formed between the Casual Bastion and
the ssa a Isms phase or grow, where they proposed area-
Wag considerable forces to nuke important sorties whist

"Is the sight between the 22nd and 23rd we attacked
UNIDO worts, which sere defended by nearly the whole of
t►s ganieen. The combat was fierce, and listed daring
warty th. whole of the night. We carried and ocsupied
belt of the works. I hope to be able to announce to you
te•smrow that the remainder will have bun tarried on the
following night."
Then follows the despatch of the 24th, assuring us
that tie expected success was obtained.

to see all that is to be seen, proceeds to the Fine Art
department, where he pays another five-franc pima
as entrance fee, and two francs for a Fine Art eats-
lope. Thus his visit to the Exhibition for one day
costs him fifteen francs. Now, there were dear days
in 1831, bat then the Crystal Palace in Hyde-pack
was on the 19th of May fairly completed and fairly
fall. If any part was backward, that part belonged
to the French.

we are now the pests of France, and the recipients

from an expression of my belief that the details of

mismanaged.

This was an action to recover 734 odd for three parcels
of stone which had been seed for building a new church at
Wernitb, in Lancashire. The trial took place before Mr.
Justice Crowder in London, and the jury gave a verdict for
the defendant.
Mr. Malcolm sow moved fez a new trial upon the ground
that the verdict was against the weight of evidence. It
appeared that the stone in question had been ordered by
the architect of the church in the name of the Rev.
Thomas Ireland, the defendant, and the question in the
cases was whether the architect had authority to pledge
the defendant's credit. Upon this point elidenee was given
ea both aides, and it was now submitted that the verdict
of the jag was wrosg, and that they ought to have found
that the architect had authority to pledge the defendant's
credit for t►e price of the stone.
The court, however, thought differently, end refused the
rale.

MUSIC.

ROYAL OPERA, DRURY-LANE.
Norma was produced last night with no less than
three debuts. In the first place, there was Mdlle.
Arga, the prima donna. Of this lady's antecedents
we know nothing, but she is a performer of no small
merit. She is an interesting person, and her aspect
and manner create an immediate prepossession in her
favour. Her features have not the tragic power which
such a character as Norma demands ; but her face is in-
telligentand expressive ; and, asan &actress, she showed
herself capable both of tenderness and passion. Her
voice is of good quality, and she uses it like a musi-
cian; but she ought to guard against overstraining
it, to then its intonation becomes sharp, and it loses
its sweetness. She suffered greatly from nervousness
at the outset, and was scarcely able to get through
the trying " Casts Diva;" but she afterwards acted
and sang with energy and feeling, and well deserved
the warm applause she received. The other debutants
were Mdlle. Magner, as Adalgisa, and Signor Ar-
mandi as Pollio, of whom it is sufficient to
say that they acquitted themselves respect.
ably. Mr. Hamilton Braham was a very good
Oroveso. The opera was well put upon the stage ;
and the orchestra and chorus, if not first-rate, were
not unsatisfactory. The whole performance, indeed,
was surprisingly good, considering the exam-
' sively low rates to which the prices of admission
I have been reduced; and the surprise is the
greater when it is considered that the performers who
appeared last night are only a fraction of the com-
pany which includes, moreover, such performers as
M. and Madame Classier. If Mr. Smith is able to
LI give permanently such performances at such prices
(which we greatly doubt), he will have done more
, than we could have considered possible.

THE VIENNA CONFERENCES.

The Independance, of Brussels, states that Count
Buol having been informed by Prince Oortchakoff
that he had received the renewal of his full powers
from the Emperor Alexander, convened a preliminary
meeting of the representatives of the five powers, at
his hotel, on the evening of the 7th. All responded
to this invitation ; Lord John Russell and the Earl of
Westmoreland were present for England; Count
Buol and Baron Prokese.h for Austria; M. de Bon:-
gummy for France; Arif Effendi for the Ottoman
Porte; and, lastly, Prince Gortchakoff and M. Titoff
for Russia. As however it appeared that the two
last mentioned ministers had no knowledge of the
renewal of their powers otherwise than by telegraph,
it was resolved not to attribute an official character,
to the meeting, and, to postpone the opening of the
conferences until the arrival of the wanting papers
