MINCH MIXT 11l SHE CRIMEA.

M. Commander General—l desire to offer you and the
brave army placed under your orders, sad which the
Emperor, my august mad Intimate ally, hu sent to the
defence of my cause,—a public testimony of my high satis-
faction sad sincere congratulations at the new feats of arms
which you have added to so many brilliant actions which
have covered the allied troops with glory, lighting for so
just a cause, and braving with intrepidity the rigours. of a
severe climate.
The blood spilt upon the battle fields for the defence of
this cause, which hu become to-day the pledge of the main-
tenance of legality in Europe, will assuredly have the pre-
cious result of re-uniting for the future nations made to
appreciate each other, cementing the alliance which the
wisdom ofeabinets had effected, by indissoluble ties,—for the
all-powerful sympathy of the peoples, is the most natural
and the most legitimate alliance.
Be assured that the admiration which I fool for the war-
like bravery and morale of the heroic soldiers of t►e Crimea,
is shared by all the people whom God has confided to me,
and henceforth we can make no distinction between the
soldiers who fight for the common cause.
The entire world hu its eyes upon the children of thaw

great allied nations who are fighting aide by aide for the
glory of their country. Ido not doubt that the soldiers who
have prove.' themselves under the valorous General Canto.
bert, and who continue so brilliantly under your command,
will, with their brothers in arms, obtain very soon, by a
definite victory, the laurels whioh their incomparable
courage in surmounting all dangers, and all sufferines,
deserves. I am proud to lee my soldiers sharing in this pare
and sacred glory.
I charge my aide•de.camp, Ethane Paella, to remit you
this latter, and to convey the expremion of my gratitude to
your army. The sentiment of affection for them which
animates my heart is rendered stronger by the fact, that
the nation to which these brave soldiers, whose valorem
actions attract general attention, belong, is the most ancient
ally of my empire.
I prey God to grant you the most slalom riveesee, and
have you to his sacred keeping.

DRURY-LANE.

The lessee of this theatre, encourages' by the meets
of his Italian opera season at the unprcesdentedly low pylon
which he he introdueed, has commenced an autumn muon
for English opera on the rams terms. The Bohent.an Girl
was performed on Saturday eveaing, is an immense house,
sad, on the whole, in a satisfactory manner. The
heroine was personated by )liu Lacy Escott, who
appeared for the first time in English opera, and
was received with gnat and deserts d applauer, due not
oaly to her vocal powers, but to her pleasing qualities as an
actress. The famous romans*, " I dreamt that I dwelt In
marble halls," was encored with enthusiasts. The part of
Thaddeus was performed by Dlr. Elliot Haler, who has a
weak, though sgreeable, tenor voice, end who acquitted him-
self respectably. Mr. Hamilton Brabant did great justice to
Count Arnbeim, and Mr. H. Corti was amusingly gro-
toque ea Devihboof. The piece, in Ito mumble, wu well
put upon the stage, and the whole performance was heartily
applauded.

ROYAL ITALIAN OPERA.

The second performance of the Mode du Nord, cn
&tardily night, wee, if possible, glen an improvement on
the first. Its length was diminished by thus quarters of
an hour, and thus the audience ware spared the fatigue end
exhaustion which the finest performance most produce if it
la too much protracted. Tbis wee accomplished (as we bad
expected) by some judicious curtailments, by greater rapidity
in the action of the pine, and by the absence of encores—
that absurd and unmeaning practice which degrades the re-
presentation cl in opera into a mere concert of ramie. The
honor was a, crowded as on the first night, and the audience
equally warm in their demonstrations of pleasure. Meyer-
beer, on being called for at the end of the rend act, was
led forward by Coen, to whom zealous and iadefatigable
szertions we are indebted for this perfect perfurmanoe of
one of the most arduous works ever brought on the musical
stage—not merely Du exertions on this particular occasion,
bet that admirable Gonne of surtrintendence and diseiplise
whereby Costa has rendered tin band of the Royal Italian
Opera undeniably the finest theatrical orchestra in the world.

RUSSIA.

ST. PETERSBURG, Juts 9.
Tho Commissariat Department of the War-office has
received orders from the government to take the
needful steps for renewing the contracts and keeping
up the efficiency of the stores of provisions. The
three place. named for the delivery of these stores
are St. Petersburg, Moscow, and Kazan. Amongst
the immense quantities of articles for the equipment
of the army, but only for the infantry, the new de-
scription of boots forms a prominent part. They are
made of black jueltt or Russia leather, and reach up
to the knee. As they require twice as much leather
as the cischmi or half-boots hitherto in use in the
Russian army, the consumption of this article will be
proportionately increased, and the price considerably
enhanced. Of the new sort of boots 100,620 pair are,
to be delivered at St. Petersburg, 157,683 pair at
Moscow, and 88,322 pair at Kam.

GERMANY.

A letter from Nuremberg, in Bavaria, of the Bth,

agents as they were about to leave by railway with
two gunsmiths, whom they had engaged; and a
Russian officer who has arrived here has been placed
under surveillance. Several of our gunsmiths have,
it is said, been engaged for Russia by the promise of
a fixed salary of 500 silver roubles (the rouble is
about 4f.), and many contingent advantages."

SYMPTOMATIC.

- • -

LORD PALMERSTON grows wondrous civil. Last
night he moved that precedence be given to the
identical motion of Sir ERSKINE PERRY'S upon which
Government not long ago contrived to have the house
counted out ; and be managed to find a day for Mr.
LAYARD'S motion, after having eo superciliously
scouted that gentleman's application for one. The
City meeting of Saturday last is already telling. It has
taught the PREMIER politeness, if nothing more. The
Administrative Reformers, if true to themselves, can
command greater concessions than this. " Fine words
butter no parsnips," and mere courtesy ought not to
content them. Mr. LATAID at least does not appear
to have been captivated by the PREMIER'S civility.
He looked at ;the proffered opportunity to bring on
his motion much as a watchdog examines a bit of
broad held out to him by a suspicious stranger, and
turned away from it in the same fashion. The
Hon. Member for Aylesbury knows best ; but as it is
not so easy foe a private member to get a day is the
Hones of Commons, it appears to us that he needed
not to have looked his gift horse in the month.
However, it is well to be wary. Administra-
tive Reformers may be further tried with specious
plans of improvement in the organisation of the
Government offices ; but even these ought not to
Indust them to lay down their arms. Such plans
will he valueless without the right men to work
them ; they will be mere " vows made in pain as
violent as void." The contending factions discern
the latent power that slumbers as yet undeveloped in
the young Association. Lord ELLENBOROUGH'S
notice of motion for Monday is one bid to conciliate
It; Lord PALMERSTON'S new-learne d civility is another.
Lord ELLEN soaouou, though an eccentric, is a clever

and dashing debater, and rather popular at present;
but he is linked to the DERUY party, and it was Lord
DERBY who placed the Duke Of NORTHUMBERLAND
at the head of the Admirely. To succeed, the Asa-
elation must adopt the tactic* of the Anti-corn-law
League ; cry " a plague of both your houses;" and
commit itself to neither faction. Upon its keeping
itself independent of all existing political parties,
supporting every good motion made by any of them,
bat allowing itself to be the instrument of none,
depend its hopes of ultimate success.—Daily News.

CAPTURE OF AN ESCAPED CONVICT.

Sergeant Sandford, of the Manchester police, along
with Sceith, a detective °Meer from Liverpool, captured at
Manchester yesterday, a convict named Thomas Cunning-
ham, who had escaped from the Portland Convict Prison.
He was now pawing by the name of Patrick )'Nally. He
was convicted in 1862 of housebreaking, and stealing silver
plate, and sent to Portland. Ile escaped from the convict
establishment there about eighteen months ego, by a simple
bet en ingenious contrivance. He was employed on out-
door work, and Isavieg contrived to get possession
of noodles and thread he employed himself daring
his nights, in prison, in making a large white slop,
such as agricultural labourers wear, to conceal his
prison dress. Tbe material was obtained by cutting
slips from the souse linen of which his bedclothes were
made. To prevent the discovery that his bedclothes had
been mit, he always rohemmed the sides from which the
pieties were token immediately. Having made his slop, he
wore it under his prison dress until an opportunity offered,
during his outdoor labour, of transferring it to the ues for
which he intended it. Ones dressed in this way, he wan-
dered through the convict establishment, and made his
esespe without suspicion. The only real obstacle he etroone-
tared was a pay bridge, where escaped convicts had before
boon turned bank for want of the halfpenny wherewith to
satisfy the toll•krieper. Near this he met a lady and gentle-
man, and asked them to befriend him, alleging that he
was a carter, who had left his team on the other
side of the bridge, and bad forgotten to provide himself
with money. The lady gave him a halfpenny, while the
gsatiesest eyed him mispicionsly, and said be hoped he was
ma an escaped convict, a remark at which be laughed and
frilon. He walked from thence forty miles the same
l(' ultimately found his way to Manchester, where he
planned • robbery, hoping to get money with which to go to
America and join his friends. This robbery he eseested
successfully. H. broke into the shop of Mr.Eobert \Valois-
ley, pawnbroker, and stole therefrom a quantity of gold
flags mid other property, and being apprehended by the
Manchester polies, was committed to the sessions for trial,
was oonvicted, and imprisoned for twelve months. His ha-
prisooment had expired and he was liberated, when the
Liverpool officers recognised him as en escaped convict, and
ke is again in melody to be sent back to Portland.

SPEECH OF THE PRESIDENT OF THE

CHAMBERS.

In the sitting of the Chamber of Deputies at Turin,
on the 17th. the President Boacompagni delivered
the following speech

Honourable Colleagues,—ln again occupying this chair,
my mind is filled with two seutimente—that of thanks for
the honour you ban a third time paid me, and a sense of
the grave duties it imposes.
Lithe enemies of these functions, and in the performance
of our common labours, I derive new confidence from the
unanimity which exists between the Parliament and the
nation in this—namely, love for the free instituti ins which
embody the spirit of progress and of modern civilisation,
and devotion lathe constitutional monarchy of Savoy, whose
destinies ere irrevocably bound up in those of Italy.
The unanimity and accord of them sentiments will triumph
over the difficulties incessant to the government of Stain,
and more writers perhaps in our days when all people, look
with anxiety towards the future, and prepare to endure
sacrifices which the wisdom of your deliberations may ren-
der lets heavy, but from which no ,human power can free
us. Happy are we, nevertheless, to have maintained
intact in the midst of such grave difficulties—thanks
to the loyalty of sovereigns and to the moderation of the

people—Parliamentary institatioas, whisk unite in an in-
dissoluble alliance the majesty of the crown and the free-
dom of the subject. Happy to have kept safe this flag, the
symbol of liberty and independence which floats upon the
raises, the parliamentary assembly, and the battle-
field, where the destinies of &tropes& civilisation are bring
&sided, and when the bravery of our army hes surrounded
it with a glory which Piedmont salutes se the presage of
great prosperity and noble destinies. (Lend applause.)

states that when General Mouravieff crossed the

of infantry of 27 battalions, and the whole of his
corps did not exceed 35,000 men, including cavalry
and artillery.

PIEDMONT.

The Cagliari papers, of the 21st and 22nd tilt.,
give some account of the commencement of the operations
for the suppression of the convents In virtue of the new
law. At Sassari, all the monastic establishments for males
opened their doors to the authorities without the slightest
difficulty, notwithstanding a circular from the bishop ex-
horting them to resist. The nuns, on the contrary, made
a good deal of resistance, and in several instances the doors
had to be forced open. At the convent Santa Chian, the
abbess refused to obey the summons, but an animated die
cession, in a subdued toae, was heard to go on within, and
two voices were at last distinctly heard to advocate obedi-
ence to the law, but without success; so that the authorities
bad to are force to effect their object. When at lan they
were enabled to begin the inventory, they found so few
articles of value, that it became evident a good many mast
have been removed. No popular agitation or disturbance
occurred in any sue during these proceedings.

The 11.emelenblate asserts that General Wm'

an entrenched camp on the line from Arabat P 3
Kerb*, supported on Argin, at four leagues from
Arabat, and running across the road from Herta to

GENERAL BEATSON'S IRREGULAR
- - -- - - ----

CAVALRY.

We hove seamivril the vteuua papers of Toes*
containing the announcement of General brew;
death. The Independonee of yesterday states that
the news has received a sad confirmation. We be.
Here the latter statement to be incorrect. To a late
hour last night no such confirmation had reached the
British government.
Of the same date with Gen. Beatson's letters, which
we published yesterday, but in singular contradiction
with them, are the detailed accounts given by the
Journal de Constantinople as extracts of letters from
the town of Dardanelles. A letter of the 18th, after
describing the infamous conduct of a party of Bashi-
Bazonks towards a Turkish lady, concludes, "Them
fellows are constantly deserting—it is the best that
could happen, for what can be done with such scow
drels The town is returning to its normal state,
but the vines unfortunately are generally considered
as lost, and they were the only resource of the
country. The population and the government will
have lost this year nearly two million piastre
by the enrolment of Bashi-Bazouks."
The Journal de Constantinople of the 23rd ult.,
adds, as a postscript to the foregoing, We have
just received a pew letter from our correspondent,
announcing that things have again taken a sad torn
at the Dardanelles. We are compelled to postpone
the details."

THE TURKISH

Advice* from Constantinople report that the or.
ganisation of this force is proceeding with consider.
able MOBIL There are already 10,000 infantry and
2,000 cavalry, the latter well mounted. The troops,
both cavalry and infantry, act with the greatest
alacrity, and show the utmost obedience to the com.
mends of their officers. The British officers attached
to the corps are already able, to a great extent, to
work the men in the field in their own language.
Neither the general nor the officers find it necessary
to have a body guard.
