GENERAL EZATSON'S CORPS.

The Barlolilaillcolf,TATHl wished to ask his noble
friend whether her July's government had any reason
to believe la the reported aseaniaation of General &mhos.
Lord PANMURE said there had been disturbances
amosgst Use troops under General Beason, but he had no
reason to believe is the report nt his assassination.
The Earl of ELLENBOROUGH understood that in eon-
sequoia of some iinesinal difficulty the COMISLISSIrIat de-
panelist esperieseed some delay in obtaining supplies. He
wished to know whether that extended to General Semmes
limps, balsam if it did, It might amount for these disturb-
anew.
Lord PANIIIIIRE said it did not extend to General
ise•tesere eons. An saddest betel a vessel, the (lutes, he
believed, which de'ayed the supplies a short time, but the
serve of General Bestion was reaularly supplied.
The Bari of ELLENBOROUGH said that if the surges.,

honeedas sons from India, had been adopted, it would form
the useless of an army ow which they could depend, aid
might act as a body guard to the general which would pat
down any disturbance at once. He did not believe that
either General Benison's corps or the Turkish contingent
would succeed oaten there was a nucleus of lishomoden
irregular cavalry from India on which they could depend.
Lord PANMURE said that from the beginning there
I was some doubt as to the oesanisation of the corps under
General Boatmon, and he was sorry to say that from what
had occurred, still further doubt was thrown on it. But
with ragand to the Turkish contingent, he was happy to be
able to YMrm ths house that the organisation of that force
was geseraill with greater success than be could have

own language. The cavalry now numbered 2,000 men,
and were very well mounted. Neither the general nor the

The Bari of ELLBNBOROUGH inquired what was the
strength of the Turkish matiagent.
Lord PANMURE replied that there were now 10,000

SIR DE LACY EVANS.

TO TIII IDITOIL Of ma DAILY VMS.
Sta,—A letter bakigwyed in your journal of this
day, aid another has bieddreneed to me from the
Council of the Friends of Polawiati I shall feel
much obliged if you will cause iiiertion of this
my reply to both. The Council honour me by pro-
posing again that I should take the chair at a
future meeting. This I feel ander the necessity of
respectfully declining, because I think it wee meet
unfair to make it appear that I wu responsible for, or
a party to, the decirioa of not bolding the meeting
that was announced for the Ist iestant.
It is stated by the Council that my letter of spa-
Jogy was not received till late in the afternoon of
'l6 Ist instant. Between nine and ten o'clock of
the forenoon it was delivered by. my servant at
`the resides°, of the gentleman acting for the Cons-
eil. and his card was returned to me to indicate
its receipt. 1 gave due notice a full week previously,
that as say health wu not good, it would be necessary
to have another chairman in weediness to take my
place in the event, on my part, of inefficiency to
proceed with the business, and I received an assur-
ance that this should be provided for.
As has been before observed, above a dozen noble-
men and gentlemen of high consideration were re-
peatedly staled aa amongst thou to be present at this
meeting. In abort, the Marquis of Breadalbane, seve-
ral earls, barons, cabinet ministers, and distinguished
members of the House of Common., form, I believe.
the Association or Council of the Friends of Poland
—most, gall of whom, I was led to believe, were
deeply anxious to support this movement. How,
then, was it possible for me to suppose that not one
of these devoted friends of the cause would, is case of
its being required, be willing to preside on this occa-
sion, and so to prevent the disappointment that has
occurred ?
Twice in the invitation I wu honoured with, the
Marquis of Breadalbane was officially alluded to, as
the President of the Council whose support I was to
count 00, and at whose instance I was addressed.
Yesterday, however, I was told by a friend (I know
not whether correctly), that in feet several of these
noble lords had no Intention of being present. I
confess I think that some direct public intimation
from the noble marquis as to his sanction of what
took place, would be much appreciated u a future
guide for the public.
Had I been informed that if any contingency
should cause my absence, that no other chairman
could be found, that the meeting would not be held,
that the doors of the hall would be clawed, and that
the police would be ordered to disperse the numerous
persons who were assembling, nothing should have
induced me to accept the honourable post which was
offered—under such conditions.
I beg therefore most respectfully, but unequivo-
cally and finally, to &dims incurring such a risk
again.
I have the honour to be, Sir, very obediently
yours, DE LACY EVANS.

TIONS OF DECEASED SOLDIERS.

Lord R. GROSVENOR inquired of the Under Secretary
for War if the distribution of the medial to the relative* of
the soldiers who bad fallen in the present war was to be
delayed to some indefinite period ?
Mr. F. PEEL had made toiletry on the subject, and as-
certained that no impediment existed, sod that, as fest as
the medal, were obtained from the Mint, they would be
distributed to the neat of kin of such soldiers se, had they
been living, would have been entitled to them.

Sir C. WOOD wished to make some explanation with
regard to some words supposed to have fallen from him on
Tuesday last, in resisting the motion of the hon. and gallant
admiral the member for Christchurch. He (Sir C.
Wood) thought, in what he said on that occasion,
that be had carefully guarded himself ag►inst **y-

or wound the feelings of any one, ►ut he had since received

character. The words complained of were these:—" But
the service in question not baying been thought worthy of
this distinctive honour at the time—now nearly •
quarter of • century ago—l must deal's' to accede to the
hon. and gallant member's motion." Now, those were cer.
minty net the words he (Sir C. Wood) used, nor did be Sod
that they were attributed to him in any of those organs
to which they were lo the ►a►it of looking for reports of
what took pleas In that house. Nor could he have given that
as his reason for resisting the motion, inasmuch as it was
not the ground twos which he opposed it. The reason he
gave was, that it waa not proper that the House of Commons
should interfere with the distribution of honours, which
ought to proceed from the crown alone, as being the fountaia
of all honour. (Hear.)

THE MUSEUM OF PRACTICAL GEOLOGY.
Viscount EBRINOTON wished the boa. member to
state what days in the week this 11111/01101 was open to the

Mr. BOUVERIS replied that at present the museum was
open to the public on the three first days of the week ; bu'
it bovine been thought advisable that freer access should be
Riven, it had been proposed to open it on two additional
days. (Hear, hear.) Some delay was, however, oceasioned
in carrying oat that proposition, owing to the time occupied
in preparing the catalogue.

ANOTHER EXTENSIVE ROBBERY AT A WATCH-
'a —This morning information was reeeivedithat the
shop of Messrs. Reeves and Sons, watchmakers, Newington-
causeway, had been broken into, and a large number of gold
and silver watches stolen therefrom. From the manner in
which the robbery was effected there can be no doubt that
the theft was committed by the same gang of thieves who
perpetrated the extensive robbery in the City. It appeared
that Messrs. Reeves generally kept a valuable stock of
watches and timepieces in their window, which wu secured
by patent shutters. However, the thieves contrived to
remove one of them, and broke a large square of plate glees,
when they seized everything within their reach, and de-
camped. The thieves were sheltered from observation by a
boardicg close by, which is standing in front of some newly
built premises.

DEATH OF THE EARL OF SEFTON.—LIVERPOOI,
Aura. 2.—The intelligence of the death of the Right Hon. the
Earl of Sefton reached Liverpool this forenoon, and has
cast quite a gloom over the town, the noble earl being bold
in the highest estimation by all classes. The flags tinted
half mast high over the public institutions and over several
of the ships in the docks and in the river. The late BIM
is succeeded in his title and estates by his eldest son, Lord
Molyneuz. The deceased nobleman was Lord Lieutenant
of Lancashire, which office is now vacant.
ALLEGED SUICIDE FROM CRUEL TREATMENT:.
Yesterday Mr. Baker opened an investigation at the 1106.
ford Arms, Old Ford-road, Bethnal-green, respecting the
death of Victoria Hawn. aged 14 years, who was loud
dead in the ornamental water of Victoria-park, and who, it
was alleged, had committed suicide from the ill•treatment
which she had long received at the bands of her !minuets, a
Mrs. Clewett, of No. 14, Wellington street, Bethnal-grees.
Mrs. Clewett was brought into the room daring the proceed-
ings, and the assistance of several constables had been
found necessary on account of a mob of about 300 persons
who surrounded the house, and followed her to the inquest
room. John Cartes, a rope maker, who worked in a shed at
the back of Mr. Clewett'a house, said he had teen deceased
ill-treated daily by the mistress, who beat her with a rope,
and seised her by the hair of the head, when she knocked
the deceased violently against the wainecoating. It
bad seen the mistress turn the deceased out in the back yard
almost naked. The girl was crying loudly and called for
help. The neighbours interfered with the mistress, who ris-
turned into the house. The persons who had heard the
deceased crying, said the mistress was not lit to have the
are of an orphan child. They added they would not even
trust her with a cat.—Mrs. Clewett here declared that
deceased was a sullen and ill-tempered girl, and would not
work. The inquest was ultimately adjourned till Monday
next.

Bta,—Various reports having appeared in the Daily
News of a revolt, &a, having taken place amongst

DAILDANILLIS, JULY 20.
We have had some desertions lately, bat, on the whole,
the men behave admirably. The alone all live in the line;
with the men.
DAHDANILLIB, JULY 22.

We had some dominions the other day, of which most
' exaggerated accounts have gone forth. To give you as
idea how false the report. were, I may tell you that a story
appeared in a Constantinople paper that the deserters had
taken the flag from my tent and trampled it on the ground ;
the truth being, that, on the day the desertions took place, I
changed my headquarters, and a volunte, r working party
from one of the Albanian regiments assisted in digging up
the flagstaff: so that, so far from being discredit.ble to the
men, it showed their readiness to do anything they were
raked. The men will be easily enough managed if we have
I fair play, and I doubt not in the end we shall make a drat-
rate corps.

TO ENS SDITOR OE INS DAILY NEWS.

Literary iterociation of tbe Friends of Poland, Semen-
chamber', Duke , St. James's, Ans. 2, 1855.
Sta,—We hasten to repudiate, most earnestly and
positively, the imputation cut in some quarters upon
that gallant patriot, Sir De Lacy Evans, and the
parties who were instrumental in proposing to hold
the meeting announced for last night at St. Martin's
Hall, on the subject of Poland, as if the illness of
the former was pretended, and the latter had been
induced, through agile sinister transactions with the
government, to deceive the public, and play false to
the cause they have ever had most warmly at heart.
It was not until late in the afternoon of yesterday
that we received a letter from Sir De Lacy Evans,
stating his deep regret that through an Hine*, to
which he is occasionally subject since his campaign
in the Crimea, it was utterly out of his power to
preside at the meeting. Considering it of the highest
consequence that the public should hear from Sir De
Lacy Evane's own lips his sentiments and state-
ments, so important from his practical experience and
services in the war, on the subject of the formation
of a Polish Legion and the Polish ques-
tion generally, and that the proposed meeting
should, at the present important crisis, be as influen-
tial and useful as possible, we thought it advisable to
adjourn the meeting for a few days, to give time for
Sir De Lacy Evans's recovery. This is the simple
fact, and no communication whatever passed between
this association and the government on the subject
of the meeting. We immediately gave public notice,
by placards and otherwise, so far as was practicable,
and by communications with individuals, of the ad-
journment of the meeting. Sir De Lacy Evans is in
no degree responsible for this. If blame is atttribut-
able to anybody for doing what was, under the cir-
temptation, thought to be best for the cause, it is at-
tributable to us alone.
We sincerely regret the great disappointment
which appears to have been felt ; bat we can only

rejoice at the feeling exhibited in favour of Poland,'
and tram that each feeling will be still mom dearly
and strongly exhibited at the postponed nestle&
which will assuredly be held in the course of next
week.
We have the boom to be, sir, your obedient
servants, is behalf of the council,

PRUSSIA.

A letter from Berlin of the 29th ult. states that
according to the most correct calculation, the half of
the loan of 30 millions of thalers voted last year has
been swallowed up by the military expenses caused
by the Eastern question. Up to the end of the year
1854 the additional expenses caused by the partial
mobilisation amounted to 4,135,724 thalers, since
which there has been expended on the same account
1,686,000 theists a month, which makes about 10
millions of thalers in six months, without reckoning
other extraordinary expenses. The cavalry and
artillery are to remain at their meat strength.

DESPATCH FROM ADMIRAL BRUAT.

The Preach Minister of Marine has received the
following despatch from Admiral &slat :

" Oa Board the Montebello, Oct. 27,1866.

" Monsieur le Ministre,—l have akeady had the
honour of informing your Excellency that, immedi-
ately after the surrender of Kinburn, I caused all
the gunboats, forming part of the expeditioe, to pass
to the east of the Spit. Rear-Admiral Mims, m.der
whose orders I had placed those vessels, divided
them into two columns. He took upon himself the
command of the one that was to re-ascend the Bong,
and sent the other column with his Brat aidnde-
camp, M. de Xsrsausoo, to reconnoitre the mouths
of the Dnieper.

"After advancing as high up as the Volojsk point,
Rear-Admiral Pellion returned on board the Ammer%)
to direct the movements that took place in the Kin-
burn roads, and left the vessels of our flotilla at the
disposal of Rear-Admiral Sir Houston Stewart. The
arrangements made by this general officer produced a
very advantageous result. While some gunboats
guarded the entrance of the Bong and that of the
Dnieper, others were exploring the channels formed
at the &ankle bluff, by wooded islets that are inter-
meta in every direction by the branches of the
Dnieper;

" After five days' search, the allied flotilla sucoseded
in capturing and bringing to Kinburn an immense
raft, intended for the dockyard of Nicolaieff. This
raft, consisting of oak, cowbei I, and elm, is 864 feet
long, 80 broad, and 6 deep: it is an excellent acqui-
sition to the allied fleets, and its capture will prove a
serious loss to the enemy."
London, England, 1855-11-10

THE WAR.

Direct advice. from the Abchasian coast report
'that the advanced guard of Omer Pacha's army, 6,000
strong, with two batteries, left Boukkum Kash on
the 13th of October. The Muohir's army had been
considerably 'steamed, 20,000 men having arrived
in the mune of the first two weeks of October, and
British transports had returned for others. The route
of the advancing army runs along the coast as far as
to Mori, about 40 miles from the starting point, cross-
ing as many as 18 rivers, and then striking eastward
into the interior. About 20 miles from the coast the
army will have to cross the love, the largest river
between Boukkum Ealeh and X.utais, and forming
the frontier of Mingrelia. There are no bridges
over any of the riven at present, the Rumbas having
destroyed those previously existing. No serious op-
position is expected before the Turks reach Bugdidi,
about five miles beyond the Ingur, unless the enemy
should attempt to dispute the passage of that river.
As far as is known, the troops which the Russians
could oppose to those of Omer Pacha consist almost
exclusively of Mingrelian militia, a very inferior de-
scription of warriors.
A Trieste despatch states that the Russian general
has withdrawn 12,000 men from before Bars.
The French journals mention private letters from
Trebizond of the 12th, announcing that a small con-
voy of provisions and ammunition, sent by the Glover-
s nor of Erzeronm, bad succeeded in reach Kars. The
Turkish government had not received this intern-
, gene in an official manner, but persons in high
station believed it to be true.

Constantinople letters to the 29th ult., brought by
the Euphrate, state that troops in considerable num-
bers were almost every day arriving from France, not
lees than 6,000 having been brought from Toulon and
Marseilles within the preceding week. The division
Chssseloup•Laubat was being thus rapicUy completed,
and was proceeding direct to the Crimea.
A letter from Constantinople of the 26th, in the
Stimaphore of Marseilles, says some light vowels of the
allied fleet watch Odessa, in the inner port of which
there has just been discovered the presence of a Rus-
sian war steamer of large size, and carrying two fun-
nels. She had endeavoured to conceal herself behind
the mole' in the midst of some merchant vessels, but
without success. It is thought that she had come
from Nicolaieff. The admirals have decided on using
all their efforts to take her, but it is to be supposed
that at the first attack the enemy will set fire to her.

SPAIN.

In the Spanish Cortes, on the 27th ult. M. Por-
tills, of the democratic party, wu elected first Vice-
President. He obtained 112 votes, and his compe-
titor, M. Hero., of the ministerial party, obtained
107. The discussion of the constitution was after-
wards proceeded with, but, as on the preceding days,
presented nothing of interest. A letter mays:
The Pope's nuncio has had to-lay a conference with the
Mieipter of Foreign Affairs on the sale of the property of
the church, and the minister is said to have snared him
that the government does not intend to injure the interests
of the clergy. Telegraphic despatches from Paris in-
form the government, on good authority, that the
Cartels contemplate making an irruption Into Spain
by Catalonia and Navarre at the same time, with
the pretender and Cabrera at the head of the bands
which are to invade the former province, and Elio of those
that are to enter the latter. The government, however, en-
tertains a , fear of any such attempt. The governor of
Madrid has published a lion, in which he declares
that the municipality has given employment to tO,OOO
washroom, and that from want of funds it is unablg to em-
ploy more ; be tberefcrrta @aborts persons of property and
private Individuals to continue all the works they may have

WARSAW, JAY. 25.
If the official lists of our losses in the past year
give a total of 111,132 men hors do combat, what
must be the real amount? Our journals contain the
particulars of the loss suffered in 1854 "by the active
army," under which is understood only the infantry
of the line of the army of operation under the com-
mand of Prince Paakiewiteh ; therefore, exclusive of
the detached corps in Finland, Siberia, and the
Caucasus, the army of the inner guard, the garrisons,
the guards, the grenadier corps, the reserve cavalry,
the corps of dragoon., the military colonies, and the
Cossacks ; nor are the losses in the Baltic nor the
garrison of Bomarsund included in these returns. Up
to the latest reports of the 29th Deoember, just before
burg parture of Prince Paskiewitch for St.
the losses confeeiedly amounted to 29,204 killed
in battle and died of wounds, 55,304 wounded, 6,460
deserters, prisoners, and missing, and 16,158 deaths
from disease : total, 111,132 men. Notwithstanding
the supposed inexhaustible resources of Russia, we
have already had many proofs of the deficiency of
men for the Russian army, and what extraordinary
and hitherto unheard of measures have been resorted
to for the purpose of raising recruits for the service.

SWEDEN.

_ OP THN DAILY WIWI
6TOCKUOLM, JAx. 26.
Whatever the Swenaka Tydning may say to the
esstrary about the mobilisation of the Swedish army, I
there is but one opinion u to the growing necessity
doing so; for public opinion is now so decidedly i
V favour of an open declaration of alliance with thel
Western Powers, and people of all classes and polities,
make no secret of their sentiments, that this chair
pronounced cos mull cannot fail to be wafted to the,
ears of royalty, who is not likely to risk his we&
earned popularity by being the very last to urea
his opinion, and take measures from which bin
sagacity must teach him there is no escape, and the
sooner it is done the better. It is not only in the
army or in the capital that this warlike feeling pre-
veils. Every town and village, from Lapland to the
I Sound, re-echoes the sentiment, as the provincial
1 press, and the testimony of travellers from all parts
lof the kingdom, abundantly prove.
Sweden and Norway can with very little trouble
put 50,000 men on the war footing, and such a force
will be of incalculable benefit to England and France
in the approaching campaign in the North; for since
Russia has been obliged, "for strategical reasons," to
withdraw all her troops from Finland and send them
to the South, the first performance of our united army
would of course be the occpation of that previa"
where they are quite at home, and which ewe the
Swedes were wont to call their own.
What influence such a bold stroke of policy would
have on our neighbours on the other side of the
Sound remains to be seen ; but it is obvious that the
example of Sweden could not fail to arouse the ex-
pression of popular feeling in Denmark, against which
the present liberal government, with their own anti-
Russian predilections, would not attempt to offer any
opposition.
