THE CRIMEA,

It is calculated that if seven battalions of the land tran-
sport corps are retained, (the number at present fixed upon,)
there will yet be 35,000 mules and baggage animals for
sale, and 4,000 camels. A great portion of the pack ani-
mals would not repay the cost of transport to England. A
great pecuniary loss is anticipated in the disposal of the
transport animals. An order has been issued at Scutari
stating that, in consequence of peace being established,
the Secretary of State for war has decided that the services
of the civil surgeons attached to the hospitals at that station
arc no longer required. Four civil surgeons only remain in
the Crimea. The civil staff at Smyrna are said to have re-
ceived notice of their services being uo longer required.
The establishments at Renkioi are in course of being broken
up. Five regiments in the Crimea have received orders to
hold themselves in readiness to go direct to Canada. They
are the 9th, 17th, 39th, 62nd and 63rd regiments: It is
understood that Lieutenant-General Eyre is to go is com-
mand of this force.

SEBASTOPOL, April 26.—Farewell dinners are the order
of the day. General Codrington entertained General del la
Marmora at a large party to dinner to-day. Our engineers
and the Russian engineers have dined together. The
English 47th has entertained the French 47th, and so on.
In all probability these will never meet again. On the 24th
the whole of the British infantry was turned out on the
Plains of Balaklava, and for the last time, perhaps, this
splendid army was collected together in one body. Six
divisions of British infantry were on the field equipped in
the most perfeet and admirable manner, every man armed
with a beautiful rifle and clothed in new and becoming
uniform. The Russians do not willingly permit any
approach to the vessels on the north side, and shouted
lustily at a party engaged in examining the timbers.
Although the teredo has not attacked the wood, it is covered
with barnacles and slime, and it is not likely they will ever
be raised as men-of-war again. The Twelve Apostles, the
Three Godheads, the Tchesme, the Wratislaw, and the
Empress Maria, arc said to have been unseaworthy before
they were sank, and the only ship for which the Russians
express any sorrow is the Grand Duke Constantine, 120, the
finest ship in their navy. It will be some time before a
timber of her floats again.

The Paris corresdondent of the Times gives a rumour,
which either may or may not be true, that General Ney is the
bearer of a long letter from the Emperor Napoleon to the
Czar, giving a full explanation of the reasons which led to
the conclusion of the tripartite treaty of April 15.
The Moniteur of this morning publishes the monthly
return of the Bank of France made up yesterday. In
general there is not much change as compared with the
preceding month. There is, however, an increase of
20.000,000 fr. under the head of sums advanced on public
securities and on railroad securities.

PARIS, Thursday,—A bill was laid on the table of the
Corps Legislatif to-day for a credit of 400,000 fr. for the
baptism o the Imperial Prince. It appears from another
bill recently presented to the Chamber, that the expenses of
the war to France amount to upwards of 1,200,000,000 fr.
Three serifs of supplementary credits have been asked tor.
It is expected that the new loan will come out after the pay-
ment of the next dividend.

RELATIONS— BETWEEN AMERICA AND SPAIN.—The Wash-
ington correspondent of the New York Daily Times writing,
on Xpril 22, says :—The last steamer brought despatches
addressed by the Spanish Minister of Foreign Relations
to our Minister at Madrid, in reply to the demands made
at different times for redress in the matter of firing into
and detaining the steamer El Dorado by the Spanish man-
of-war Ferrolano. The Spanish government, most de-
cidedly but courteously refuses to comply with the wishes
of our government. and the Minister argues that, accord-
ing to the law of nations, the commander of the Ferrolano
did nothing more than the peculiar circumstances at that
time in the neighbourhood of Havana justified.,

HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE

After a painful interval of three years, her Majesty's
Theatke, re-opened on Saturday night, its portals to the
publics, and once more the grand opera was resumed
within its precincts,

The opera selected for the re-opening of the theatre was
"La Cenerentola," that perennial favourite of all classes
and conditions, ever since irs first production at Rome in

the year 181

Alboni re-appeared as La Cenerentola,
Calzolari was the Don Ramiro of the evening ; the part of
•
Dandini was cast for Ilelletti, blot filled by a basso of
some merit, named Reneyenti, in consequence of the sud-
(ten illness of that popular singer ; Sigilor Zucconi, :a
basso cantanti, new to the Englisn lyrical stage, was the
Don ilfcronifico ; the part of Alidoro was sustained by
Signor Vario, another new singer ; while Mdlles. Berta and
Rizzi, both new likewise, sustained the respective parts
of Clotilda and Thisbe, the tyrannical sisters twain. Long
before the performances commenced the theatre in all its
parts was overflowing, and when the light was let on full
on the great chandelier, a burst of satisfaction broke from
the crowded audienee.

At the conclusion of the opera, " God save the Quean "
was sung by the entire vocal strength of her Majesty's
Theatre, the house presenting an aspect of unusual bril-
liancy in every part during the performance of that
national air. Subsequently Mr. Lumley was called before
the curtain, and on his appearance was greeted with such
enthusiasm by the entire audience that the possibility of
any failure in his future enterprise is put altogether
beyond question. It was felt by all to be a well merited
tribilte to a man who had strugglA to the last against
difficulties of no ordinary nature ; and who had fairly
surmounted them all by the force of courage, constancy,
and resolute determination of mind.

TROOP 3 FROM THE CRIMEA.—The steam transport
Oneida, belonging to the Canada Ocean Steam Navigaion
Company, with the first detachment of troops from the East,
is now hourly expected at Portsmouth. She brings twenty
officers, 409 men, and 170 horses; also Mrs. Daberley, who
has been all through the campaign with her husband.
Among the officers are General Snell and Colonel De Salus,
who were both in the Bilaklava charge. The troops consist
of the Bth Hussars, who suffered so dreadfully at Balaklava,
also a detachment of the 161 and 17th Lancers.

DESPERATE ATTEMPT AT SurcroE.—On Friday evening,
a person named Peter M‘Vie was conveyed to the Northern
Hospital, having made a fearful attempt on his own life by
cutting his throat with a razor. It appeared that the un-
fortunate man had been drinking to excess for some time
past, and that he was suffering under delirium tremens, and
on Friday he called at the house of a friend, off Athol-
street, and in a back yard there he made the attempt on his
life. He is at present in a very serious state, but every
attention is paid to him by the excellent medical gentlemen
of the house.

SUDDEN AND ACCIDENTAL DEATHS.--011 Saturday morn-
ing, a child named Mary Bolton, twenty months old, whose
father is a cabinet maker, residing in Mill-road, Everton,
died from the effects of injuries received ou Tuesday by a
milk cart running over her. The cart belongs to a pers)n
named Birch.—A pilot, named Seth James, aged 47 years,
and who resided at No. 44, Wolfe street, went home on
Friday night the worse of drink. lie retired to bed, and
in the morning was found dead.—Samuel Williams, a
labourer, who was at work at the Union-dock, was killed
on Friday evening by falling into the hold of a vessel.
Inquests will be held in these 0003 this day.

SUSPICIOUS.—RESULTS OF THE CHESTER ItACE4.—On
Saturday morning, at the police court, detectives Thompson
and Suaife brought up a man named Thomas Fowler, whom
they described as the best known thief in England, on sus-
picion of having a quantity of valuable property in his
possession, for which he could not account. The officers
said they had the prisoner up scores of times for baying
stolen property in his possession. They watched him from
Chester races; and on searching him they found a gold
watch, an Albert chain with key s tin topaz, a chaste gold
ring, a diamond ring, a gold pin, a gold ling set with ruby,
and a variety of other property, all of a valuable descrip-
tion. He could not give any account of how he became
possessed of these things, and the officers said they had no
doubt the property was stolen. They asked for a remand,
which was granted to Tuesday.

ROBBERY AND OUTRAGE.—About five o' clonk yesterday
afternoon a number of boys were out playing in the fields
behind the Z)ological Gardens in the West Darby-road,
c'ose to which there are several ponds near the footpath.
Whilst the lads were thus engaged, three fellows came up,
and after a few minutes conversation one of the rascals got
hold of one of the boys, and took from him tenpence, all
he had in his possession. At the same moment another of
the vagabonds seized a second boy, and after rifling his
pockets, and finding no money in them, he actually threw
the poor lad into one of the ponds, which in many parts is
from six to seven feet deep. The ruffians then ran off across
the fields in the direction of Kensington, and were followed
by several of the poor child's playmates, who set up an
alarm. Others remained at the pond, where the lad was
for several minutes struggling, and in great danger of being
drowned. He at length succeeded in getting out of the
water in an exhausted state. Meanwhile continued chase
was given to the men, who ran across the turnpike-road,
leading to the Old Swan. Two of the police force here
followed in pursuit of the men, who made towards Edge
Hill in the direction of the Kensington reservoir. Two of
the men here made their escape, but the third was captured,
and conveyed to the Bescot-street bridewell, in charge of
the police. Just before being taken he threatened to jump
into the reservoir if the police confined the pursuit. It will
be brought before the magistrates this morning.

Count Orloff is said not to be satisfied with the explana-
tion offered to him by the French Minister of Foreign
Affairs.

The readiness of Austria to sign the treaty originates in
the isolation in which she is placed by the hostility of Russia
and the jealousy of Prussia.
General Caronine has announced to Prince Ghyka the
evacuation of the Principalities by the Austrian troops,
between this and six months.
TUE TIPPERARY BANx.—We understand that the share-
holders of the Tipperary Bank, or rather those who repre-
sent them in Parliament, are about to introduce a measure
by which they would be released to some extent from
their liabilities. No doubt, many of those shareholders
are greatly to be pitied, and we should much rejoice if
they could be relieved in any way consistent with the
public interests and the rightful claims of the creditors.
But a retrospective enactment, having that object in view,
should not take place without full consideration and ample
notice to all the parties interested. We merely allude to
the subject at present, that the creditors may be aware of
what is going forward, and may take whatever steps they
may deem advisable for the protection of their interests.

THE NOVELTIES AT THE CRYSTAL PALACE.-The
Scutari monument consists of an obelisk supported by a
pedestal, at each corner of which is an angel with wings
folded. It is 100 feet high, and is dedicated to the memory
of those who died in the service of their country. The
peace trophy is of a very elaborate description. On a
square of green marble stands an octagonal pillar with
niches in each of the sides. The pillar supports a
curiously shaped stand, on which is placed a colossal
figure of Peace. The right arm is extended, and bears an
olive branch ; the left holds some ears of corn. The fimre
is clothed in a silvered garment, over which is thrown a
gilt scarf. At the base of the trophy are eight statues the
size of life, silvered, gilt, and bronzed. The whole reaches
to the height of 100 feet.

THE LATE MURDER AT FERMOY.--A coroner's inquest
sat on the body of Sergeant Owen Guinea on Thursday
afternoon, and returned a verdict of wilful murder against
Charles M'Cready. In the course of the examination the
prisoner evinced a desire to bring forward facts to show
that tyranny had been exercised over him by the deceased,
but the evidence of several of the witnesses proved that
Sergeant Guinea was impartial in the performance of his
duties. The demeanour of the prisoner throughout the
investigation was so determinedly callous as to excite
feelings of the utmost abhorrence. A crowd of soldiers
followed him to the barrack gates, and a most unusual
gathering of the inhabitants of Fermoy, all eager to gaze
on the murderer, accompanied the escort through the
streets of the town to Bridewell. The attestation papers
of APCready declare the place of his birth to be Liverpool,
but it is well known that he is a native of Belfast or its
immediate neighbourhood.
LADIES' UNDER-SKIRTS WITHOUT SEAM.--We were shown
the other day a very simple' but:useful adaptation of the
world-old art of weaving, in the warehouse of Messrs.
Anderson and Co., Miller-street. Circular pieces, ex-
pressly suited for the above articles of apparel, issue from
the loom in a state all but ready for use. This is accom-
plished by means of a double ward, and other duplicate
arrangements of the loom, and involves no mystery what-
ever, though the results are very convenient and advan-
tageous. There is a great saving, of course, in sewing,
and this is no small gain. Since the striped stuffs for
petticoats, however, came into fashion, there has been a
great difficulty in getting the stripes to meet perfectly, and
eu
it sea
this, indeed, was hardly ever accomplished. The circular
and d
esspieces now manufactured obviate this diffi
y rrcompletely
; and the result is a much more beautiful
and perfect article than could otherwise be obtained. The
idea is so simple that it might occur to any practical
weaver; but we need hardly say that Messrs. Anderson
and Co. have secured the invention by a patent.—North,
