TO THE EDITOR 01, THE EXPRIBIL

notion lin last evening's Erpreas an
amount of aa ramming outbreak at Her hf•)eety's Prism,
Dartmoor, copied from the Western Daily Mercury. which,
if you will allow me, I think I can prove was much more
amity quelled than the Mercury dater. First, I may as
well say that the Mercury's correspondent has no official
source of information, hewn the may errors it hu fallen
into. This disturbance, outbreak it was not, mutiny it wen
not, took place about 5 minutes after 4in the afternoon of
yesterday week ; when the spaded were being collected, and
the several gasp of mulcts fell in, one or two convict
rushed out of their realm and made use of inciting La.
page to the whole body, but only from ten to twelve
responded to their all, and these misguided men were BOOM
convinced that it was nukes to attempt to brisk through
the chain of outposts, or inderd to master the body of
warden who soon surrounded them, when they wen at
once removed to the prison and to the punishment cells.
This is really a correct version of the disturbance. The
authorities certainly knew that this attempt would be
made, and took every precrintiors, in the sh►pe of as large a
number of outposts es could be spared (for the whole body
of precasts are not able to work outside, on what is called
" the bop"), and the result was that this disturbance was
soon put an end to. Of coarse, if government would allow
• stronger force of warden, or military, it would prove
most serviceable ; but certainly, with the force that
is allowed, nothing bat discipline in its 'irked
force could produce the speedy effects of yesterday week. I
can assure you, sir, the Mercury quite misleads you ; there
is no insubordination in Dartmoor Primo. Warden are net

told "they bad rely seen the beginning ;^ perfectly
quiet and orderly, and it is in the imaginatimi ally of the
correspondent of the Mercury such things exist.
The public need not expect to bear of sellable break:stall
Dartmoor ; all precautions are, am I said before, taken, end
each official tries to give satisfaction to the government
whoa servant he is, and to the public, but falls certainly in
doing the same to a Demmer which has ever been spiral
the priooo, and appears to be informed most incorrectly by
some one, who should be more cautious ere he tells that
which has never taken place. Just to prose this I may add,
not one of those who ware cousected with the disturbance
have left Dartmoor ; they are still in the punishment cells,
and likely to remain there for some time to come. —I am,

ROYAL ENGLISH OPERA.

Mr. Balfe'e new opera Blanche de Never', the
production of which had been expected with much interest
by the musical public, was performed, for the first time, on
Saturday evening. It bra, to all appearance, achieved e
complete triumph. The theatre was crowded in every pert.
The audience in the boxes and stalls we. remarkably
fsabionable for this period of the rear, and many of our
moat eminent composers and other misdeal notabilitt's were
present. The reception of the opera was exceedingly favour.
able. The principal enormous were warmly applauded, and
there were numerous encores. At the end of each act the
applause was so loud as to bring the chief performers before
the curtain, and the composer was specially called for several
times in the coarse of the evening. In short we have seldom
witnessed • more cordial reception of a dramatic pious.
The value of • first night's reception, as everybody
knows, must be estimated with some 'awaited ; but
we think that the intrinsic merit of the work is suffielent to
pin for it • substantial 'secede. We may here observe,
however, that to insure this result, the piece must be much
curtailed. Beginning at sues o'clock, the performance
lasted till balf•past eleven. Four hours and • half is an in.

TO THI ZDITUB Or THZ MOMS&

Stn —Whilst viewing to-day the laying of the
imputation Inoue of the new building for the enlargement of
the Sailors' Home, Well-street, by Lord Psimerstoo, we
were much surprised to read oe the plate inserted in the
stone, and in the minted programme, that the founders of
this, the fast Salon' Home, were Captains Elliot and
Gambier and Lieutenant Justice. All honour to thaw
gentlemen, and especially to Captain Elliot, who did se
much to complete the Home; but we unhesitatingly assert
that our father, the late Bev. 0. C. Smith, was the founder.
Whilst directing the operatimui for the removal of the deed
and wounded from the ruins of the Bromwich Theatre,
Well-street, in February, 1828, be meld, "Gad put it into
my heart to purchase the ground, aad to lay down the plan
for a Sailors' Home" The idea thus concaved he carried
out, gave the name (being the fret time " Home" was used
to out,
a public institution), and directed all the open-
Sone himself, collecting 3,000/. On the completion of the
purchase of freehold and materials, Mr. Smith transferred
the whole affair to Captain Elliot and his worthy colleagues.
liai ton' Homes have bees established in every large port of
the United Kingdom and in the Ameriout States. The late
Prince Consort, and nobles, merchants. and the community
in general, and this day the Prime Minister and the Bishop
of Loudon, have borne teeth:may to the benefits of these
institutions.
Surely it is deo to the memory of their actual founder,
who worked 50 years for the welfare of sailors, that his
claim to their origin should be recognised. —We are, In.,

PRINCE GORTCHAKOFIPS DESPATCH.

The Nord contains the text of the despatch
addressed by Prince Gortchakoff, dated St. Peters-
burg, July 15, to the Charge d'Affaires of Russia
at Vienna, of which a telegraphic summary has
already been published. In the concluding passage
of this despatch Prince Gortchakoff says :—" As
to the substance of our propositions, we believe
that if appreciated in the spirit which has
dictated them, and if honestly applied, they
may lead to • rational and practical solution
which would at once give satisfaction to the
rights and interests of the three neighbouring
powers, to the stipulations of the treaty of
1815, on which the general equilibrium reposes, to
the reasonable wishes of the Poles, [and the solici-
tude which Europe has manifested on behalf of
the tranquillity of these countries. We can there-
fore only regret the different impression which
the directions addressed by Count Rechberg to
the Austrian ambassadors at London and Paris
lead us to anticipate."

WANDS WORTH.

Alexander Forsyth, a tall, respectable looking man,
with a dark beard and moustache, was brought be-
fore Mr. Self., on remand, charged with having been
found in the enclosed premises of Mr. Wilson, a gentle-
man residing at Wimbledon-common, supposed for an urn -
lawful purpose.
When the prisoner was first charged his manner appeared
strange, and his answers to questions put to him by the
worthy magistrate were given with hesitation, a. if be
loaraly understood them. He, however, stated that he was
• commiesion agent, and hail gone into the premises to lie
down, as he wee benighted.
On this occasion Mr. Selfe :discharged him ; but he—
nnaed of going away—remained outside the court, with
a view of making an application for the restoration of
some papers, which he said were detained at the prison.
A gentleman soon afterwards arrived, whose presence
seemed to disconcert Forsyth. They both entered the court
together, and as the gentleman passed him he stamped his
foot violently on the floor. Fon, tit was allowed to speak
first to Mr. Self., who told him to apply to the prison for
his papers. When be bad retired the gentleman came for-
' ward, and apologised for being so late. He stated that
Fonyth was •
an escaped lumina from Scotland, and had
been wandering about for three months. His friends were
anxious to have him secured. Hs had written to apprise
them of his fortunate capture, but he bad not received an
answer. He was unable to take charge of him, and be
asked his worship to have him sent hack to prison until his
friends bad communicated their wishes.

Hr. Taylor (the clerk) produced the prisooer's commit-
ment, and maid the authorities had not marked upon it any
opinion as to him date of miod.
. . . _

-Forsyth %IS then called in, and informed by Mr. Selfe
that he intended to send him back to prison for • few days.
The prisoner told his worship that he bad been dis-
charged, and that he bad no power to send him back to
prison. He objected to being sent to prison.
Mr. Belle mid he declined to argue that point with him.
He thought it wu for his good that he should be sent back
to prison for • few days.
The miscues., who at gist offered some slight resistance
at being removed in custody, was again taken to the cells.

CHINA.

From Pekin (says the Straits Times Orerlasd
Mail) we regret to learn that Mr. William C. Milne,
assistant•secretary to the British legation, died in
a fit while sitting at table. He was formerly at-
tached to the London Missionary Society, and has
written successfully on subjects connected with
China. At the time of his death he was also in
charge of the student interpreters at Pekin. The
legation loses by his death a valuable servant, whose
place it will not be easy to fiU from the slender staff
of consular interpreters. Mr. Milne was deservedly
esteemed by all who had the pleasure of knowing
him, whether privately or officially ; his loss is
therefore sincerely regretted.

THE REPLIES TO RUSSIA.
PARIS, Ammar S.

La France of this evening says it is confirmed
that England has renounced the despatch of an
identical note to Russia. " This resolution," con-
tinues La France, " was taken after a sitting of
the Cabinet Council. It does not imply an aban-
donment of the understanding between the three
Powers, but only leaves to the negotiations the
character of separate action, which they have up to
the present retained."

14 France also states that it has reason to believe
that there is no question of a modißeation of the
French Cabinet.

The Conititutionnel of this evening says : " The
despatch of separate notes to Russia in no way
affects the union of idea, object, and action on the
part of the three Powers, which is more complete
now than ever."

The insurgents have defeated an equal number

were left dead in the town. The loss of the Poles
was 40 killed. Many young persons were arrested

SAN PAULO (BRAZILIAN).

' The directors in their half-yearly report congra-
tulate the proprietors on the cautioned steady and satis-
factory progress of the company's affairs. Since the last
report the weather in Brazil has been morn favourable for
the operations of the contractors, and has enabled them to
push the works vigorously throughout the whole line, as
appears from the annexed statement of Mr. Brainless, the
company's engineer-io-chieft which enters fully into the
details connected with his department. The option
recently offered to the proprietors of paying in
advanoe of calls on a limited amber of their shares
has met with general approval, and will be adopted ones
more, when further funds are required, which the directors
contemplate will be toward the close of the present year.
Subsequently the usual system of making calls will be re-
verted to. The statement of the receipts sod expenditure
to the 30th done last, with the halation sheet, having been
duly audited, are annexed in the usual form. The rela-
tions between the company and the imperial government
continua on the most satisfactory footing. It is, however,
with much regret that the directors find themselves, in con-
sequence of the diplomatic difficulties between this country
and Bradt, temporarily depraved of the personal co-opera-
tion of the Brazilian minister, although his excellency, before
leaving Fsoglaod, made such satisfactory arrangements as
will prevent any inconvenience to the company, should
occasion arise for communicating with the Brazilian go-
vernment.

and the mails were brought on by the Mooltan,
which sailed from Calcutta on the 3rd of July,

which left Madras &little after 10 a.m. on Monday, the Mad

out to sea, the Simla had no alternative but to follow their
example. It was not until her third approach to the month

on board some 540 men, women, end children belonging to
the regiment of Sikh Pioneers, bound for Colombo. BM
no sooner did she fairly get out to sea than her
total unfitness to be employed on such service was
proved beyond a doubt, Between decks the water was
frequently knee-deep, and not a berth was in the whole ship
that might not have served as a bath. The misery of the
poor soldiers, and their still more helpless wives and little
ones, was truly pitiable, but they bore up manfully through
their sickness, and worked at the pumps night and day. The
greatest fear entertained was lest the fires should be pet
out, the danger of which was more than once very imminent;
however, by constant exertions and by throwing a pot.
tion of her cargo overboard, she was kept afloat, and late
on Saturday evening passed Senor on her return to Calcutta.
Another steamer, the Australian, likewise purchased by
this company from the government, was eompelled, in a
similar manner, to throw a considerable portion of her ouge
overboard on the run to Akyab.

ENTER THE CONGRESS.

The Morning Post expresses "sincere regret"
that the English government " is about to decline
to give its adherence to the proposed European
congress." The purpose of the Emperor Napoleon
was worthy of admiration, but " at the same time
it has not appeared to the statesmen of this country
that the means by which he wishes to catty out his
projects of peace would in reality effect what he
aims at" Negotiation has already failed with
Russia, and it is thought here that we could say
nothing more in congress than we have already
said in despatches. " The ministers of a consti-
tutional country do not feel themselves justified in
advising their Sovereign to send her representatives
to a meeting which they regard as Utopian. We
cannot blame them for this. It is a great respon-
sibility to anent to a congress which might only
become the beginning of discord. And we must
admit that though such a meeting, as in days gone
by, may be necessary after a great convulsion, it is
difficult in peacefrl times to constitute any other
tribunal than that which holds its seat in the
general conscience, and finds its exponent in public
opinion."

NAVAL COURTS MARTIAL.

A court-martial was wetted, on Thursday, at
Devooport, co board the Royal Adelaide, guardahip, in
Harunese, to try Lieutenant Clevell Willie°, Simpsou
Illouut, of the Adventure, 2, ironecrew troop ship, on the
there,. " That he, the said Lieutenant Bluetit, wait, on or
about the first watch of the night of the 29th of April,
1863, drunk, when officer of that watch, on board his ship."
From the evidence it appeared that the prisoner was
lying down oa the water caters from about 9.30 p.m. to
11.15 p.m. oa that night asleep. At M. 15 the captain
(Commander T. B. Lethbridge) came oa board, when Mr.
Miles, master's assistant of the watch, roused the prisoner
up to receive the captain. From his altered voice
and staggering pit the captain considered the pri-
mmer was sot sober, and put him under arrest.
Hoary Trunktield, private in the Royal Marine*, who was
sentry on the poop at that time, considered the prisoner was
drunk. In a crces-examivation it was elicited that Trunk-
Cold was at the time of the occurrence undergoing punish-
ment on a charge of drunkenness brought against bun by
the prisoner. Fdword Stacey, ship's corpoial, considered
the prisoner was drunk from seeing him stagger several
times and Mr. Miles having much trouble in awaking him.,
Mr. H. C. Miles, master's asaiataot, considered the prisoner',
was aoite sober throughout the whole of the watch.
Lieutenant Wing, the senior lieutenant, was called out of I
has lied to see the prisoner's state. When be came on the
poop the captain said, " Here, Mr. Wing. the officer of the
watch is drunk. Do you consider him drunk or sober r
Mr. Wicg answered, "He is not sober, sir." Mr.
Wing acknowledged that the prioritises manlier
and speech were much improved a few
minutes after, but be thought some men whet.
drunk improved under excitement. Mr. Beer, solicitor, read
an able defeuce for the prisoner, and called Mr. Sterli4,
surgeon's unmeant, who said he came oo board immediately
after the captain, and examined the prisoner. He conaidered
him to be perfectly mbar, and et to take charge of the watch
under any circunatiumer of difficulty that might have oc-
curred at see. The evideeoe having occupied all the day,
the court adjourned to Friday tool wog, when, our re-aween.

quitted the priloser.—A court-martial was held on Friday

PARIS, FRIDAY Evtsnia.

There is no question now about Marshal Furey
having issued a decree of confiscation against all
the property, real and personal, of Mexicans who
bear arms against the "French intervention." For
c the last ten days this news, originally brought by
the Courrier des Etats Unis, has excited scarcely
any attention in France for the single reason that
it was considered too monstrous to be credited for
a moment. Some of the independent journals
hinted feebly that it might perhaps be just as well
if the Muniteur were to contradict a report obvi-
ously inconsistent with the habits of civilised war-
fare and the honour of the French army ; but the
regular hack writers—the very men whose hard
fate it now is to defend the decree—overflowed
with indignation at the bare suggestion of the pos-
sibility of there being any shadow of truth in the
story, and accused the journals who quoted the
Courrier des Etats Unis of being the cowardly spon-
sors of a libel of which they had not
the courage to avow the paternity. And now
it is all true. Fact is stranger than fiction. The
confiscation decree is published at full length io
the Opinion Nationale. It is dated Puebla, May
21, and is signed " Furey." The Muniteur, which
this day publishes news from Mexico of three
weeks' later date, is ashamed of the confiscation
de,'ree, and has never said a word about it, but of
its authenticity there can be no shadow of doubt.
It is pubL,hed in one of the organs of that " free
, press which Marshal Forey has established in
mesice,__& fres press, as one of his own decrees •
facetiously says, ,‘ upou the French model, subject
to warnings, two of ehich entail suppression." i
This o fres e Mexican newspaper is called the !
lionitor-Fronco-Mccicano, And the number referred
to bears date May 29, 1863. The decree is
preceded by, and based up'nn, a report from a
certain M. Bodin, one of the otinerous French ,
functionaries who, as you will renomber, were
exported to Mexico some time ago, with dolitle pay ,
and large extra allowances, for the purpose of •
administering the country upon the true principles
of Bonapartist civilisation. This report is a gem ,
in its way. Although the writer must have studied ,
Russian precedents in Poland, the style of which he 1
