The blockading squadron are beginning to have
hard work, and find it difficult to maintain their
stations in the teeth of the severe gales that come
down from the mountains in the north, and sweep
the Gulf of Bothnia with great violence. The ships
often look in here to supply themselves with fresh
provisions and hear the news. Six vessels are now
cruising along the coast of Finland, between Bjiirne-
borg and Christinenstad. On the 18th inst. the
Dragon made a lucky hit, for, appearing unexpect-
edly off Haddigarne, opposite he Islands of Quarken,
she fell in with and captured a flotilla of Russian
merchantmen, consisting of seventeen vessels of dif-
ferent rigs and sine, one of which contained 1,000
tons of rye, part of which was distributed amongst
the other ships, and the rest thrown overboard.

CROPS ABROAD.

The Massager du Midi contains the following
secionnt of the vintage in the south of Prance :—" In the
Romanian (the district adjoining the Pyrenees) the yield
will be below that of list year, which was itself considerably
under an average. If there be enough for local eousump-
tion it will be the very utmost, and that is not more than the
tenth part of a good crop. In the Narbonnais the vintage
is far better, as the wine will be of fine quality, though only
in the proportion of the third of a usual crop. In the Var,
the wine will not be first rate, for the landowners have been
obliged to gather all the grapes at aeuntssually early period
from the malady having fallen on them. In the Gard there
will be about two-thirds of an ordinary crop. In the neigh-
bourhood of Montpellier the crop will not amount to more
than one-half, bat the wine will be fine."
le consequence of the deficiency of the wine crop the
Roma government has prohibited, until September, 1866,
the ezportatioa of grams, ordinary wines, and vinegar.
The Carrier des Alper says In Switzerland, as in
Savoy, the potato crop is exceedingly abundant. The yield
of apples and peers is also satisfac. As to the vine-
bearing districts, the wine will be good, though the yield is
scantly as average."
A letter from Christiania states that provisions are ex-
tremely dear in Norway. It adds that in that city a num-
ber of merchants have formed themselves into an association'
to puroluse provisions by wholesale, and sell them at cost
price to the poorer claims.
The silk crop of 1855 will, it is now proved, be much
more considerable than it was last year, and, according to
the calculation of the Turin Chamber of Commerce, the
quantity of cocoons sold up to the end of July represented
about one-third of the crop. That quantity having been
4,036,860 kilogrammes, valued at 18,078,632 f., the total
Produce will be 12,110,680 kilogrammes, worth 64,234,0001.
The crop of 1864 was only 9,329,680 kilogrammes, valued
at 40,903,000 f., or a third less than that of the present year.
The first cocoons which were brought to market were sold
at an advanced price, in consequence of the fears above
alluded to, bet a decline mom afterwards took place. The
highest average price was4f. 90e. per kilogramme, and the
lowest 3f. flOo.

Islamised by the prejudice that had bees gest upon

h is the misfortune of our position to be obliged to
reed mere smrspapets than the generality at see,
and we sealldeatly affirm that, with the emeptho of
ear blundering and bullying contemporary the,
Alms, the English prom with a laudable love of tat
play, abstained from commenting on the case of the
three convicts before trial. The learned counsel would
have said the Times if they had not been afraid
of that journal, but quailing before its vixen tongue,
they hinted their complaints ander the safe gene-
witty of " the press." This is grossly unjust ; for
English journalists, as a body, are fully more
observant of the dictates of morality and decorum,
in adopting or advocating a clause, than bee-
Asters. We do not believe that any one on
sur own establishment—from the chief down to

the youngest and most unreflecting " devil"—
oould be brazen enough, for the sake of a fee, with all
the eyes in a crowded court of justice riveted upon
him, to maintain by shameless sophistry that Sir JOHN
DWI PAUL is a religions men. The baronet may have
that vague, instinctive devotional ernes which is not
uefreqnsatly found to survive the depravation of the
moral sense ; he may be of those who tremble before
the ideas of supernatural power impressed upon
them in youth, and seek to deprecate punishment by
abject petitions; but that is not religion, it is mere
superstition. Religion implies the combination of
the devotional instinct with • conviction that to
indulge it and yet commit moral offences is practical
blasphemy, and the grommet insult that can be
offered to the Deity. Had Sir J. D. Nut. been
really religious, be might have yielded to strong
momentary temptation, but he could not have perse-
vered in the deliberate, systematic course of dishonesty
of which he has been convicted. The Learned
Conned who affected on Friday last to argue that
Sir J. D. PAUL is a religious man, did not even give
sophistry in return for his fee; he paid his client
with words which he knew the common sense of
' judge and jury would see through at once.

THE BALTIC FLEET.

A despatch from Dantsie, dated yesterday. states
that the Driver, which left Nargen on the 28rd, did
not arrive at that port until a late hoar on the pre-
vious evening. During her voyage she was overtaken
by a violent tempest, which retarded her progress.
The fleet was still at Nargen, and nothing was yet
decided as to its wintering.

CHOLERA AGITATION IN SICILY.

According to a despatch received yesterday is
Paris, from Marseilles, the cholera had on the 24:h

An masts bad taken place at Catania.
The populace wished to set fire to the brandy dis-
tilleries, accusing the owners of these establishments

they fired several volleys, and at length succeeded in
quelling the disturbance.

Boils de la Mer arrived at La Guars, :in the republic of
Venezaels, with 24 bales of goods addressed toile. Blushes',
English consul at Canons ; but the captain had positive
orders not to deliver them without the payment of 2,147 fr.
The captain deposited the bales at the costors.hense, and
Mr. Maginot having obtained en order from the genre-
most of Venezuela, mused his vies.consiti, Mr. Stacey, to
'WIM them, but he refused to pay ;either the value of
the goods or the freight. M. Fleury complained vibe
neatly of this set, and a violent altercation took plane
between them, but it produced no result. M. Fleury
knowing that the law of Venezuela forbids any proceedings
against a foreigs consul, could not bring an action against
Mr. Bingham ; but he cited Mr. Stacey before
the Tribunal of La Guars, end demanded that he
should pay for the goods seized. The tassel, however,
decided that as Mr. Stacey bed acted by the orders of Mr.
Mahal, he mould not be proceeded against. A complaint
was then made by M. Fleury to the Freach Minister of
Foreign Affairs ; he eland the Consul-Gesend of France
at Vassals to make inquiries into the matter. That
gentleman having ommulicated with Mr. Bingham, was
informed that the latter wee quite prepared to justify his
refuel of payment, but was aevertkelses ready to ester into
ss arrangement. The Consul. General reported We to the
Minister, end ease time ago the French ambassador was
Instructed to ask Lord Clarendon if Mr. Bingham bad sent

Messrs. Densest sad Co. being nepossible to the owners of
the goods, demanded that the consignees should pay value

cation as their part that the property had fates into the
heads of Mr. Bingham. The tribunal, however, after
ezasiiniag tato all the fasts, dismissed the action, sad em.

GALLERY OF ILLUSTRATION OF THE

EVENTS Of THE WAR.

Messrs. Grieve, and MIMI follow op the military
mommes of the allies with a truly actistie ardour. They
ham just completed two very interesting pictures, one •
view of Sebastopol es it appeared after the last bombard-
meat, from • drawing by Major Tapper; the other a view
of the fortress of Niobium, with the vessels on their way to
attack It. These pictures were exhibited for the first time
ou Saturday last. The view of Sebastopol, besides offering
many plats of interest, is extremely well executed. This
Gallery of Illustration Is rich is graphic' representations of
emote highly suggestive of the character of war as do-
suibed by the Latin post—belia, Aorrida bolls. If them
scenes sea be entemplated most complacently by young
and old, the gentler sex imbaded, It fa not rely becatuie they
meted our triumphs is • sound same. bat because those
triumphs have been achieved la • legitimate and consequently
honourable masses—roe Maim Mu those of Sinop and
Bongo cling to the Tilliblieollllolll. It is felt that the horrors
of the sad undertakieg forced upon the allies have been in
no small degree mitigated through the Maumee of Western
civilisation. We have to add to the reconciling power of
them reflectims, the engin hillsouse of art; for the
treatment, by Messrs. Grieve and Telbin, of these subjects
imbues them with • thorouply artist's character. Gene-
rally in these pictures artistic effort is subordinated to the
ezpreesion of truth ; elaggeratiou and theatrical effect are
earthily rejected. Is roe instance is this sage conduct of
the peaeil more observable than in the picture of Sebastopol
in dames. The effect of terrible reality has been givea to
thin pictorial representation of the fearful event, through
the studious attention to probability paid by the artists
throughout the work. Owing to the air of troth which this
pictured sonflagratioa assumes, mach more than is depicted
in it meets the senses ; the ear as well as the eye becomes en-
vied, the eight carrying sound slow with it. Considering
the vast womequeness attendant upon the events pictorially
recorded is this gallery, the exhibition becomes one of •
very impassive *hamster. Not only is the exhibition ia-
'tractive es esatainiog illustrations of momentous historical
events; but through the well delivered remarks of the
lecturer, Mr. Berapider, information is afforded upon many
latereatiag technical points of war, particularly those re-
Mims to the attack sad defence of fortified einem. Many
of the esousunity will, so doubt, at this holiday season of
the year, avail themselves of the opportunity afforded in this
