A GOOD FOR-NOTHING GIRL.—It turns out to be the
fact that the Guards recently despatched to the Crimea
in the steam-ship Alma were actually armed with the
old musket ! At their departure the hand probably
played, "The Girls we leave behind us." It is to be
wished that one of these girls had been Brown Bess.—
Punch.
PURCHASING DISCHARGES IN THE ARMY.—A return
obtained by Mr. Alcock, M.P., shows that the total
number of men in the cavalry and infantry who have
purchased their discharges during the last 10 Years
amounts to 15,583—viz., 2,112 in 1845, 2,399 in 1846,
1,746 in 1847, 1,488 in 1848, 1,090 in 1849, 1;361 in
1850, 1,122 in 1851, 1,310 in 1852, 1.862 in 1853, and
1,093 in 1854. The number of non-commissioned officers
and men of the Royal Artillery who have been perinitted
to purchase their discharges during 10 years (from 1845
to 1855) amounts to 1,094. The number of men.dis-
charged by purchase from the Royal Marines during the
last 10 years amounts to 835.

TURKEY.

CONSTANTINOPLE, April 30.—The electric tele-
graph is now at work from Sebastopol to London.
Under the dark and foggy Euxine the wire runs
from Balaklava to the bold headland of Kala-
kria, which juts out into the sea about 14
miles north-east of Varna. From this point it
is carried along the shoals to the monastery
about six miles from the town, and thence it is
buried underground to the station near the house
of the British Consul. The deserted town has been
a little brightened during the last few days, during
which the messages of the Western Governments
and the public in general have been transmitted at
reasonable rates, and the French telegraphic staff,
with its array of books and instruments, has been
established at Varna.

For five days, however, the telegraph has been
at work. It is as yet uncertain how far the use of
the submarine wire will be granted to individuals.
This depends entirely on the English Govern-
ment, who have laid down this part of the line
and have its entire managAnent. The station
in the Crimea is under the superintendence of
Captain Biddulph, R.A., while that at Varna is
managed by Captain Duquesne, of the Engineers.
There are at present 4 telegraph stations between
Varna and Paris, these will be reduced to 3 by
the junction of Rustchuk and Giurgevo, when
there is every reason to believe that intelligence
from the Crimea will be communicated in two
hours to the Cabinets of Paris and London.
The telegraph trom Varna to meet the Walla-
chian system has been constructed at the joint ex-
pense of England and France, each country pay-
ing half the cost. The management is to rest en-
tirely in the hands of the French, who also were
entrusted with the construction of the works.

The price of messages by the French telegraph,
though high, is not unreasonable.

SPAIN.

MADRID, May 9.—The Cortes yesterday voted
the 4th and 7th Constitutional basis, both re-
I a.tive to individual security. To-day the
Cortes voted by 172 against 81 the proposition
relative to the continuation of its sittings dur-
ing the hot weather. Cholera is prevalent,
but in a mild form. M. Santa Alvarez has been
named Spanish Minister at Washington, he will
take his daparture very shortly. +The Duke and
Duchess of Montpensier are to arrive at Aranjuez
this evening.

BOROUGH HOP.

The show of hops is very limited, and 'a fair busi-
ness is doing, on rather higher terms. The imports this
week are 117 bales from New York. Mid and East Kent
pockets, 1414 s to 20'. ; Weald of Kent ditto, 131 lOs to 151

FRANCE.

PARIS, THURSDAY EVENING.
An Imperial decree opens an extraordinary
credit of 1,880,000 f., in addition to a previous one
of 360,000 f., for defraying that part of the expense
of clearing the approaches to the Exhibition Palace,
which devolves on the State. Another Imperial
decree opens an extraordinary oredit of 522,019 fr.
for tho payment of the interest and sinking fund of
the Greek loan.

The assassin Pianori signed yesterday his appeal
to the Court of Cassation against the sentence of
the Court which condemned him to capital punish-
ment as a parricide. The documents have all been
sent up to the Court of Cassatiion, who will decide
to-morrow or the day after. It appears that
Pianori has consented, in case the Court throws
out his appeal, to sign a petition for pardon.
Hence, it is inferred, that he has made, or is ex-
pected to ms.ks, disclosures.

THE MEDWAY TRANSPORT.

SOUTHAMPTON, Thursday.—The Medway, which left
the dock yesterday afternoon with troops and horses for
the Crimea, returned this morning at eight o'clock. The
cause of her return is owing to her machinery being
damaged, a small connecting pipe having burst, &c. It
will not be necessary to bring her into dock to remedy
the accident, but it is questionable whether she will not
be detained in the river until Saturday morning.
London, England, 1855-05-11

THE BALTIC.

HAMBURGH, MAY 8.
We learn from Elsinore, under date of the sth
inst., that the Conflict corvette, screw, of eight
guns, Captain Brown, had arrived there from the
vicinity of Battort port to repair damages done to
her helm and copper through the frequent contact
with the ice. It is not thought she will be very
long detained in undergoing examination and the
necessary repairs she may require.
An account from Wisby, of the 16th April, men-
tions that the western coasts of the island of Goth-
land had been free from ice at that date ; but that
much of it remained on the eastern side, and as far
up as Faro Sound, which, however, by this time
has disappeared.
The first Lubeck steam-boat for the season had
reached Stockholm in safety on the morning of the
sth inst., according to a telegraphic notice which
reached the first-named place on the 6th. From
this it may be inferred that the navigation there is
completely open at the present moment.

SMITHFIELD.

We were fairly supplied with beasts to-day. On the
•hole, the demand for all kinds ruled steady, at prices
fully equal to those of Monday last. Sheep, the supply of
which was moderate, moved off freely, and late rates were
well supported in every instance. The lamb trade was
rather brisk, and fine hmbs were worth 6s 10d to 7s per
81bs. The best calves were more scarce and rather dearer,
some of them producing 53 4d per 81bs, but other kinds of
veal met a slow sale. In pigs, very little was doing.
Milch cows sold slowly, at from 141. to 19/. each, including
their small calf.

The Earl of WICKLOW said he would not oppose
the second reading of this bill, but he hoped that the
progress of it would be delayed in order that the fish-
ermen and fishmongers of England might have an op-
portunity of presenting petitions against the bill.
After a few words from the Earl of MALMESBURY and
Lord CAMPBELL,

CORN EXCHANGE.
There has been a moderate arrival of English wheat up
to our market, coastwise, this week. Fresh up to-day,
however, the receipts of that grain were small, and the show
of samples was limited. Most kinds met a slow sale, yet
scarcely any change took place in Monday's currency.
We had a dull market for foreign wheat, the show of
which was by no means extensive, at Monday's prices. -
Barley and malt changed hands slowly, but no actual
decline took place in prices.
Good sound oats were steady, at full prices ; but inferior
parcels were dull, and 6 I per quarter cheaper.
Beans, peas, and flour moved off slowly, on former
terms.

We wero fairly supplied with beasts to-day. On the
whole, the demand for all kinds ruled steady, at prices
fully equal to those of Monday last. Sheep, the supply of
which was moderate, moved off freely, an,i late rates were
well supported in every instance. The lamb trade was
rather brisk, and fine 1 Linbs were worth 68 10d to 7s per
81bs. The best calves were more scarce and rather dearer,
some of them producing 54 4d per Blbs, but other kinds of
veal met a slow sale. In pigs, very little was doing.
Milch cows sold slowly, at from 141 to 191. each, including
their small calf.

TURKEY.

The Journal de Constantinople of the Bth denies
on authority that the Sultan has conferred the
rank of Serdar Ekrem and a pecuniary recompense
on Marshal Pelissier, as stated in several European
newspapers, and tho dignity of Capitan Paella OIL
Admiral Bruat.

The Austrian, Gazette says :—" Accounts from
Constantinople state that the Divan has pronounced
in favour of the Moldavian convents whose pro-
perty has been placed under sequestration by the
Hospodar, in order to employ the revenue in de-
fraying public expenses. The Sultan has ordered
the sequestration, which had been placed without
his authority, to be removed."

RUSSIA.

The regiment of sharpshooters of the Imperial
family, composed of men from the domains of the
Crown, 3,000 strong, left Moscow in September for
the Crimea. Before their departure the Empress
sent every man a cross which had received the
benediction of the church at the Convent of Trois-
koi-Sergreff.

A letter from Riga, of Nov. 14, states that all
the minor waters began on the previous day to
form icicles.

The following, under date of Berlin, 19th, is
given by the Constitutionnel :—" The Invalide
Russo announces that the Emperor, in returning to
St. Petersburg, passed through Moscow. His Ma-
jesty left the Crimea on the 12th, after having in-
spected the army in the positions of the Belbek,
Joukarika, Ralessa, on the Katcha, and in the
village of Tachbastu."

The Invalide publishes the following details of
the Emperor's journey :
" His Majesty the Emperor left Nicholaieff for
the Crimea on the 7th of November, at 10.30 a.m.;
he passed through Perekop the following day, at
11 in the morning, and continued his journey by
way of Simpheropol, where he arrived at half-past
8 in the evening.
" His Imperial Majesty was received in that
town by Prince Gortschakoff, Commander-in-Chief
of the land and sea forces in the Crimea, and on
the 9th of November he left, at 10 a.m., for
Bakshi-Serai.

"During his journey the Emperor inspected dif-
ferent divisions of the army in the Crimea, and on
the 10th November his Majesty visited the troops
in the advanced positions from the north side of
Sebastopol, as far as Mackenzie's farm.
"In these different inspections the Emperor was
completely satisfied, not only with the perfect state
of these brave troops, but particularly and still
more so with their healthy and vigorous appear-
ance."

RIFLE MANUFACTUREDN THE UNITED STATER.—The
new rifle musket manufactured at the United States ar-
mories has the length of its barrel reduced from 42 to 40
inches, the exterinr reduced, and the calibre from 0.69 to
0.58 of an inch. The barrel has three decreasing grooves,
with a point and rear sight brazed on, graduated from
one to one thousand yards. The weight of the new arm
is one quarter of a pound lighter than the old model.
The lock is changed to a front action swivel lock, with
the Maynard attachment, which will nntain 60 primers.
The ball is an elongated, hollow, pointed ball, weighing
497 grains, which is about 60 grains heavier than the
present round ball. The new model rifle requires but
60 grains of powder, which is fifty grains less than the
present service charge of the smooth-b7re musket.—

THE MI)VEMENTS IN THE CRIMEA.

A correspondent writing to a morning contemporary
says :—" How gratified you must be, after eighteen
months having advocated Omer Pasha being sent to
Asia, to find the accomplished soldier skilfully operat-
ing on the enemy's rear ton ards his road across the
Caucasus, Kutais (on a good road) being seventy miles
nearer than Kars is to Gori—consequently in possession
of Gori—Mouravieff's only communication with North
Russia will be by Bakoo on the Caspian, and that very
ticklish, with the independent tribes of the Alakan on his
flank. On the 17th of January last you published my
letter drawing attention 'to the Sea of Azoff, and the
position of Simpheropol,' which we should long ago have
obtained had Kaffa been made the base of operations,
whence, our left flank being secure, the enemy's large
body of cavalry would avail but little. There is abun-
dance of water all the way to Situriheropol, which posi-
tion, independent of the town, most effectually turns all
the enemy'sentrenchments towards Sebastopol and Eupa•
toria, and must force him to st•'rve or fight at once."

HEALTH OF LONDON DURING THE

WEEK-

( Front the I?egistrar-Generard Report.)
The rate of mortality in last week was rather higher
than it had been in October, but was still considerably
below that which commonly prevails at this advanced
period of the year, though the health of old persons hatprobably suffered already from the cold and fog of No-
vember. . In the week that ended on Saturday 975
of females, were registered in Lon
deaths, of which 527 were those of

lation.

Diseases of the eyrnotie class are in the aggregate lest
fatal than usual ; the mortality from diseases of the
respiratory organs is nearer the ordinary amount, and
shows a slow but constant increase. Fatal cases included
in the latter class rose above 100 in the last week of
September ; in the last six weeks they were 110, 114,
122, 140, 157, and 171. Of these 171 nearly a half is
referred to bronchitis. Phthisis carried off 123 persons,
of whom 52 were from 20 to 40 years of age, and 43 be-
tween the ages of 40 and 60 years.

TIIE NEW MINING ASSOCIATION.

Yesterday a meeting of gentlemen connected with the
mining interest wm hold at the Old South Sea-house,
Threadneedle-street ; Mr. Boyle in the chair.
The CHAIRMAN said it had frequently been repre-
sented to him that it would be highly desirable for all
parties interested in mining transactions to have a place
where they could meet to facilitate their business, and
be felt certain that the present system. was not
calculated to raise the respectability of the mining
community. It was proposed to name a committee
to frame certain rules, which he hoped would be drawn
up in a liberal manner. not only to claim the support
of the members, but induce the public to have confidence
in their proceedings. He would not allude to any
similar institution now in existence, but at the same
time they must avoid having a " family" committee,
or being under the dictation of a firm, which course
they might rely would cause distrust. (Hear, hear.) He
could only remark that the foundation of much larger
associations than he could expect this to be had been
started by a much less number of gentlemen than those
he saw around him, and if they acted with energy they
might depend upon a successful result.
Mr. GUEDALLA attended the meeting unsolicited. He
felt that the public had not sufficient facilities for mining
transactions. The holder 3 in foreign mines had got
quite sick of them, and it was absurd to go to Spain,
Portugal, or Germany, when there was a fair chance for
speculation in England. The prices at the present
time were also marked to suit certain parties, and, as an
instance, he would state that "United Mines were marked
2251. when the real price was 2801. He wished success
to the new undertaking, and would at once subscribe to
it ; and, if he approved of the rules, would induce his
friends to join it. . _

The CHAIRMAN then proposed the first resolution,
" That a mining subscription-room be established."

Mr. CUMBERLAND, in seconding the resolution, said
he was largely interested in mining matters, and, being
one of the public, considered the formation of such an
in stitution highly desirable. He did not come into the
market to buy and sell, but purely for investment, and
if dealers, brokers, and capitalists met together, he be-
lieved it would be beneficial to all. (Hear.)
The resolution was carried unanimously.
A lengthened conversation then ensued, which termi-
nated in a committee being appointed for drawing up
the rules and regulations, which are to be submitted to
a general meeting on Tuesday. The following gentle-
men were appointed the committee,
viz. Croft,
Messrs. Boyle, Cumberland, Hallett, Field, T. P.
Thomas, Pike, Sibley, and Hussey ; and Mr. Ward,
hon. secretary. A vote of thanks was passed to the

EXPEDITION TO KAPPA.

A letter from Kamiesh, of the 6th, says :
" An expedition against Kaffa has been decided on,
which was to have left Kamiesh on the 3d, but why it
did not take place remains a secret of the generals. The
French fleet, which will anchor in this port, is to re-
main here three days before setting sail fur France. The
French troops are opposite the Russians along tha whole
line of the Tcheruaya. A few rays since the French sol-
diers, who are always ingenious in finding means of pass-
ing a vcav the time, put themselves, along the line of
the advanced posts, in direct communication with the
Russian soldiers placed opposite to them. The plan
which they adopted was this ; they hoisted on the ends
of their bayonets some small white handkerchiefs ; the
Russian soldiers, not to be wanting in politeness, did
the same, thus showing that they were disposed for a
conference. The French soldiers then showed their
bread and coffee, and the Russians their gourds of
brandy, and then with common accord they advanced
towards each other without arms, and took their coffee
and brandy together. It appears that this kind of re-
creation went on for some days without the knowledge
of the French and Russian officers. The Gringalet Bat-
tery at times sent some shot among these jovial gentle.
men, but that did not prevent the meetings from taking
place. A few days since the General was informed
of the fact, and the most rigorous orders were issued to
put a stop to such proceedings. The captain, who ought
at first to have prevented them, has beets punished. The
weather is beautiful ; not a drop, of rain has fallen for
the last six weeks."
