MIDLAND.

The report of the directors of this company states, that
the traffic of the railway during the past half-year shows
anincrease of 17,426/. over that of the corresponding half-
year of 1854; and, although the increase is less than the
directors have heretofore had the gratification of reporting,
yet, when consideration is given to the fact that great pros-
tration has prevailed iu trade throughout the entire half-
year, and that the -last winter was very severe and pro-
tracted, both circumstances operating against railway
traffic, they hope tbeireceipta will be deemed fiatienterY.

THE BALTIC FLEET.
DANTZIC, AUGUST 16, 8 P.M.
The Vulture has arrived with the mails.
The Allied squadrons returned to Nargen from
Sweaborg on the 13th.
The success at Sweaborg is fully confirmed.
No ships have been seriously injured.
The casualties on the English sid.a are—killed,

PARIS, FRIDAY.

The most important item in the news from
Turkey is that a strong Russian division is march-
ing on Erzeroum, and that all the disposable
Turkish forces in Anatolia are hastening towards
the same place.
General Canrobert has arrived.

THE INDIA MAILS.

SOUTHAMPTON, FRIDAY MORNING.

The screw steam-transport Alster arrived at
this port this morning from the Black Sea,
bringing with her the heavy portion of the India
mails, for some days overdue, by the Peninsular
and Oriental Company's steam-ship Sultan.
The delay of the Sultan is caused by having
broken a crank pin when nearing Gibraltar, and
as it required some little time to repair, the mails
were forwarded by this conveyance. The Sultan
was expected to leave Gibraltar for Southampton
to-day, and has on board 67 passengers, and an
average amount of cargo.

Advices from Konigsberg state that when the
attack on Sweaborg began the Grand Duke Con-
stantine, immediately informed by telegraph of
the event, demanded leave to go out and attack
the reduced fleet before Cronstadt. The Empe-
ror refused.

GUILDHALL.

EMBEZZLEMENT.—An elderly man, named Thomas
Ings, was charged before Sir Chapman Marshall with
embezzlement. The prisoner was employed by Mr.
Waghorn, butcher, to collect his accounts, but, having
some suspicion that he was not acting right, he made
inquiries, and found he had received certain sums of
money which he bad not accounted for. He had also
obtained money from the prosecutor to take out county-
court summonses against some of his creditors, but, in-
stead of doing se, appropriated the money to his own
account. Some legal difficulties arising as to the
charge, the prisoner was discharged on his own
recognizances till Wednesday, to allow the oppor-
tunity of re-paying the money. A poor woman
who was in court also complained of the prisoner having
treated her in a similar manner.

Sir C. Marshall said he was afraid the prisoner was a
very bad roan.

ROBBERY.—George Wilson was charged with stealing
about 40 yards of silk, value 3/. 35., the property of
.Messrs. Ellis, Eveningham, and Co., silk and shawl
dealers, Ludgate-hill.

Mr. Humphreys appeared for the prosecution.

It appeared the prisoner was seen. yesterday afternoon
to take the silk from a counter inside the warehouse
door, put it under his coat, and run off. He
was followed by one of the assistants, who called
after him, and saw him drop the silk in Dean-
court. Instead of stopping to pick up the silk he
continued his pursuit, and caught him at the bottom of
St. Andrew-lane. He collared him, brought him back
to the warehouse, and gave him in charge of police
constable 373. The silk was picked up by a porter in
the employ of Mr. Smith, wine-merchant.
The prisoner, who said he did. it for want, was com-
mitted.

late to obtain a sufficient suppiy for the purposea of that
year's campaign.

The true state of the case will probably turn out to be
that the fleet u.nd-er Sir Charles was originally despatched
to the Baltic less with any really forinidwble purpose
than merely by way of demonstration. It does not seem
likely that any serious intention was then entertained
of'attacking either -Cronstadt or Sweaborg. It was in-
deed Lord Aberdeen's avowed policy to avoid striking
any blow that might diminish or humble the pride of
sort of defensive warfare—not simply defen-
sive in the ordinary acceptation. of the word, but defen-
sive in the sense of the measures Advocated by Mr. Milner
Gibson—was to be waged in the Baltic and the Black Sea.
A fleet was equipped for the Baltic sufficient to prevent
the Russians from doing any mischief, but not possess-
ing the power to inflict serious injury-on their principal
fortresses'; and an army was landed at Gallipoli for the
protection of Constantinople from :a coup de main, but in
that position running the least possible risk of ever
coming into collision with the enemy. Naturally
enough, therefore, when forced by circumstances to as-
sume the offensive, the fleet under Sir Charles Napier,
like the army under Lord Raglan, found itself unpro-
vided with the means indispensably necessary for prose-
cuting a vigorous campaign.

THE CAMP.

The following is an extract from an officer's let-
ter, dated " Camp before Sebastopol, August 9,
1855 :"

46* * * The army is much healthier than we
could have anticipated, though the weather has
been excessively hot, especially at Balaklava, which
is a perfect little oven. Thermometer yesterday
was 88 deg. in the shade, but one day, about a
fortnight since, I saw it 95 deg. in the shade.
This is very trying to the constitution. My
health, however, is better than it was a month or
two ago. I hope the War Minister will take care
of us in the winter. A great responsibility he will
have to answer for, if we are not hutted, and our
hospitals in the field are not as perfectas those of Our
gallant Allies, who have their infirmariers, physi-
cians, surgeons, apothecaries, d7c., &c., in admir-
able working order. * * Should the officers
who lead the men into action, and without whom
they would be a mere armed mob, not receive a
corresponding increase of pay to the men, serious
evils m. st assuredly will take place. This forms
our present engrossiugsubjectof conversation. If we
are to be treated with positive injustice, indifference
will take the place of zeal, and retirement from the
service, in utter disgust, will become the general
rule, not the exception, as at present. I believe
the next grand attack will be made by the end of
the month. lam going to the trenches this even-
ing, and have not time to add more."

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY.)

MANSION-HOUSE.

Three young females, named Sullivan, Hide, and
Hart, and a lad named Murray, were brought before
the Lord Mayor, charged with shoplifting. The pri-
soners were seen by one of the City detectives to enter
the shop of Mr. Morris, tailor, Ludgate-hill, and from
their manner suspecting they were out for the purpose
of plunder he watched them. They came out of Mr.
Morris's shop and visited several others. They after-
wards turned down Bucklersbury and got into Thames-
street, when he saw the lad Murray take off his cap
and put on one he had from one of the females. He fol-
lowed them to Tower-hill, where he procured the assist-
ance of police-constable 579, and wEnt up to them. He
asked them how many caps they had, and they gave
him three. The prisoners were then taken to the sta-
tion-house, where the females were searched by the
female searcher. On Sullivan she found a portmonnaie
with 4 duplicates ; on Hart a silk pocket handkerchief,
and under Hide's clothes a cloth coat. The caps were
identified as the property of Mr. Cunningham, hatter,
57, Cheapside, and Messrs. White and Son, 68, Cheap-
side, and the coat, that of Messrs. Wallace and Co.,
tailors, 288, Holborn-hill.

Foye, detective, saki the male prisoner had given a
wrong name, and he believed there was a charge still

against him.

The Lord Mayor complimented Green, the detective
officer who apprehended them, for his vigilance in watch-
ing the prisoners.

They were remanded for a week.
London, England, 1855-08-28

WARNING TO PASSENGERS ON THE

DANUBE.

A British general officer lately accompanied his family
on their way towards Vienna, in one of the beautifully
fitted steamers on the American model. Beyond the
first-class fares, a cabin of two beds was secured for the
ladies at the regular price. Finding the first place dormi-
tory more redolent of garlic than pleased him, the gentle-
man asked whether he could have a cabin for that night ?
The answer was, that all the regular cabins were let, but
that the first machinist, being on duty, would give up his
little cabin. The space of it was about 7 feet by 4i,
and this comliodious space was occupied by the passenger
for just seven hours, after which he found it locked
from within, as an unmistakeable hint that his tenancy
was at an end. On inquiring what gratuity was usual,
the answer was, that eighteen fl.,rins, money of conven-
tion-30s. sterling—wae the claim, as the tariff of the
company only restrained its employers from letting their
claims at a higher rate than that fixed for the regular
cabins. The money was paid under protest, and a for-
mal complaint lodged in the proper quarter ; but what
hope of redress against extortion has any class of Eng-
lishmen in Austria ? In answer to the plea that where
there was no special pre-agreement, a moderate compen-
sation was all that should be expected, and not a maxi-
mum rate unknown to the suffering party, and that the
price of a regular cabin for two persons, and for twice
' the distance, would have been twelve florins only ;
the cheat was juqified on the grounds that the tariff was
assumed to be publicly known (as if the Solons of
the Danube Steam Navigation could make laws bind-
in, upon all the world), and further sanctionedk by
the 6 assurance that the messenger might have
dept
possession of the cabin, if he had chosen to thteeeno

NEW ACT ON THE BURIAL OF POOR 13E11E50118.—in
the late session an act was passed to amend the law re-
garding the burial of poor persons by guardians and
' 'lrrect-,-rs. The act (18 and 19 Viet. c, 79) provides that
where a burial ground of a parish is closed or over-
crowded, the guardians or overseers may bury in a neigh-
bouring parish. Guardians and overseers are empowered
to enter into agreements with cemetery companies or
burial boards for the burial of the poor.

GUILDHALL.

AN ARTIST IN TROUBLE. —John, Th,ontpson, who de-
scribed himself as an, artist, was plaxei at the bar
on remand before Sir Robert Carden, charged with stea'-
ing a book from the stall of Mr. Dunn, bookseller, 120,
Fleet-st reet.

At the former examination the prisoner sated he was
an artist belonging to Newcastle-on Tyne, where he
was welt known, and that he was induced to commit the
offence with which he was charged from distress. He
bad been in London about a month. When he arrived
in London be had but 10s. left, and he bad supported

himself the best way he could by dispo.zing of his pro-
perty. He bad occupied an unfurnished attic', fcr which
he paid 2s. a week, sleeping on the bare beards.
Gayler, the detective officer, who apprehended the
prisoner, said he fom.d the books on the prisoner, both
of which were supposed to have been stolen. He had
written to the sergeant of police at Newcastle, and re-
ceived an answer that the prisoner wai unkr own there.
The prisoner said he bad a sister living there, and
that he refused to give her address, not wishing to dis-
grace his fancily.
Sir Robert Carden committed the prisoner for 21 days.

BO W-STREET.
Emily Legg wag this morning placed at the bar in
accordance with a remand, charged witlrsavagely assault-
ing a child named Leah Livingstone, aged 8 years.
From the evidence, it appeared that the prisoner was
in the service of Mrs. Livingstone, in the capacity of
nursemaid, and that the assault was committed in the
following manner--The child was playing in the nursery
with the other children, and the prisoner was sitting at
the time in the same place. The child, Leah, in a
playful mood, placed the chamber utensil in the
prisoner's lap, upon which shm jumped up in
a violent manner, and, using a very violent
expression, swore she would blind her. The unfortunate
child repeated the act, and the prisoner snatched up a
fork and drove it into the child's eye. The prisoner was
brought up this morning in order to see if the child was
in attendance to give evidence. The mother stated that
the child hail completely lost the sight of one eye, and
was now an in-patient of the Ophthalmic Hospital, the
surieon of which admirable institution stated that the
child could not, without risking entire deprivation of
sight, attend to-day.
Mr. Henry stated that it would be absolutely neces-
sary for the child to attend, in order that the prisoner
might be adequately punished for the savage outrage.
He should therefore order her to be again remanded for
a week.

THE BALTIC FLEET.

DANTZIC, Aug. 24.—The Geyser, Pt, Commander
R. Dew, left Nargen last Tuesday evening, at eight
o'clock, and, after a very rough passage, arrived
here this morning with the weekly mails.
With the bombardment of Sweaborg the opera-
tions of the Baltic fleet will, in all probability, be
brought to a close for this season. All the mortar
vessels left on the 19th : the Euryal us will con-
vey them as far as the Belt, and the .Basilisk
(which vessel, having burst one of her boilers,
is going home for repairs) is to accompany them
on to England. Rather an interesting fact in
connection with this subject is, that during
the late attack on Sweaborg the English mortar
vessels alone fired 3,150 shells, weighing 500
tons, to an average distance of two miles and one
furlong. No wonder, after such heavy service,
that they are now sent home as unfit for further use.
On the 16th Admiral Seymour arrived in the
Exmouth at Cronstadt, to take the command of
the squadron stationed there; this, however, will
soon be compelled, in consequence of the continued
bad weather, to seek another and a safer anchor-
oge. Seskar Island is spoken of as the place likely
to be chosen for this purpose. Admiral Baynes
left Cronstadt in the Retribution on the 18th, and
after communicatinc, with the Commander-in-Chief
at Nargen proceeded vn a cruise up the Gulf of
Bothnia.
In the Russian account of the bombardment of
Sweaborg, it is stated that, when the fleet left that
place for Nargen on the 13th, they had a "disabled
frigate" in tow. It may be as well, if only for the
sake of truth, to mention, that the "disabled
frigate" was nothing more or less than our hospital
ship Bellisle, which, being only a sailing vessel, is
generally towed by one of the steamers.
On 'the 15th six Russian gun-boats came out
from Cronstadt, and, having intimated by their
movements that they were prepared to measure
their strength with any vessel that dared to go out
to meet them, the Imperieuse, Bulldog, and Cen-
taur were orderoil to slip in close and try to cut
them off. The Russian gun-boats, however, beat a
retreat as quickly as possible into shallow water,
evidently in the hope that our.large vessels would
attempt to follow ; in this, however, they were dis-
appointed. The Imperieuse, Bulldog, and Centaur
opened a brisk fire upon them, which was returned.
The engagement lasted about two hours ; little da-
mage, was done on either side.
The present stock of wheat at Dantzic amounts
to about 2,000 1 )sts only.
Wheat crops this year are said to be very de-
fective and inferior.

THE BALTIC FLEET.

DANTZIC, Aug. 24.—The Geyser, 7, Commander
R. Dew, left Nargen last Tuesday evening, at eight
o'clock, and, after a very rough passage, arrived
here this morning with the weekly mails.
With the bombardment of Sweaborg the opera-
tions of the Baltic fleet will, in all probability, be
brought to a close for this season. All the mortar
vessels left On the 19th : the Euryal us will con-

(which vessel, having burst one of her boilers,
is going home for repairs) is to accompany them

connection with this subject is, that during
the late attack on Sweaborg the English mortar
vessels alone fired 3,150 shells, weighing .500
