KISSING COBS BY _FAVOUR.

(From a Correspondent of the Times.)
some little amount of unpopularity, I ain told, has
fallen on Sir Edmund Lyons, who hitherto has been the
great favourite of all his officers. The Naval Brigade
have been up before Sebastopol for many a long moath
of frost, snow, wet, cold, and privation, After weather-
ing the past winter, they brought through their men in
better condition than any other corps in the camp. No
doubt many of the officers volunteered for this duty with
the hope that they would obtain, as they now have
proved they deserve, their promotion. A " death va-
cancy " among the lieutenants occurred a few days ago
in the Naval Brigade, and, by the usual custom of the
service, should have been conferred on one of those who
had worked with it all along, but Sir Edmund Lyons
selected for promotion a midshipman serving in the St.
Jean d'Acre, who happens to be a son of Sir James
Graham ; directed that a board should be held to pass
him to his next step—that of a mate; and before he had
been in that rank a dozen hours signalled for him to
come to breakfast, and handed to him his commission as
lieutenant. It certainly is, to say the least of it, not in
the best taste to pass over very many hardworking and
deserving mates now with the Brigade, and of some
years' standing in the service, to make room for a
youngster of nineteen years of age.
[The secret or motive is this :—Sir James
Graham, as First Lord of the Admiralty, gave
Sir Edmund Lyons the command of the fleet in
the Mediterranean, in succession to Admiral
Dundas ; and Sir Edmund, to prove his grati-
tude, promoted the son of his benefactor at the
earliest opportunity, irrespective of the feelings
and just expectations of officers who risked their
lives, and whose long and meritorious conduct
gave them fair claims to promotion. But Sir
Edmund Lyons, otherwise a bravo and dashing
commander, and an honour to the Naval
service, has a daughter, who will become
Duchess of Norfolk and Sir James Graham,

OFFICIAL DESPATCHES FROM THE
CRIMEA.

( Front a Supplement to Tuesday's Gazette.)
WAR DEPARTMENT, JUNI 7.

Lord Panmure has received a despatch, of which the
following is a copy, addressed to his Lordship by Field-
Marshal the late Lord Raglan, G-.C.8.; and has also
this day received two despatches and their Enclosures,
addressed to his Lordship by Lieutenant-General Simp-
son, commanding her Majesty's forces in the East, of
which copies are also subjoined.
Before Sebastopol, June 25, 1855.

My Lord,—l am much concerned to have to an-
nounce to you the death of Major-General Estconrt, Ad-
jutant-General of this army, which took place yesterday
morning at nine o'clock, after an illness of little more
than three days ; he died of cholera, and I deeply
lament the loss of so estimable a man, and of an officer
so anxious to perform his duty.
I beg strongly to recommend that Lieutenant-Colonel
the Hon. W. L. Pakenham may be placed at the head
of the Adjutant-General's department. He bas done
the duty of Deputy-Adjutant-General since the army
was formed ; he is an excellent man of business, and
well acquainted with the service in all its branches, and
his appointment would not alone be agreeable to me, but
would be equally so to General Simpson, who entertains
a very high opinion of his qualifications, and reposes
every confidence in him.
I have reported the death of General Estcourt to the
General Commanding-in-Chief, and have mentioned to
his lordship my recommendation of Lieut.-Colonel the
Hon. W. L. Pakenham.---I have, &c.,
RAGLAN.
The Lord Panmure, &c., &c.

Before Sebastopo , Jane 30, 1855.

My Lord,—lt is with the deepest regret that I an-
nounce to your Lordship the death of Field-Marshal
Lord Raglan, G.C.8., which melancholy event took
place a little before nine o'clock on the evening of
Thursday last, the 28th instant. His Lordship
expired without any suffering in the midst of the officers
composing his personal staff.
I have further to report that being the next senior
officer present, I have assumed the command of this
army, until instructions shall arrive from England.
I have, &c., JAMES SIMPSON,
Lieutenant-General Commanding.
The Lord Panmure, &c.

Before Sebastopol, June 30.

My Lord—ln this, my first military despatch, lam not
aware that there is anything new or of consequence to
report to your Lordship.
11!, As regards the progress of the siege, there is no
great operation yet determined upon, but we are
employed in repairing and improving our works,
to be in readiness to cooperate with the French,
when their approaches towards the Malakhoff shall
be completed.
The nominal returns of casualties from the 25th to
the 28th inst., are enclosed.
I am truly sorry to announce that Lieut.-General Sir
George Brown departed for England this morning on
medical certificate.

The 13th Light Infantry has arrived, and disem-
barked at Balaklava this morning.
They will remain there for the present to assist in the
duties of the place.
I have, &c.,
JAMES SIMPSON,
Lieutenant-General Commanding.

HONOURABLE CONDUCT.-Mr. David Kinmonth, who
was a merchant in Dunning about ten years ago, and
whose estate was then sequestrated, yielding to his cre-
ditors 4s. 2d. in the pound, has remitted from Boston,
United States, to the trustees, full payment of the bal-
ance, with 25 per cent. more in the name of interest due
thereon.—Perthshire Courier.

MR. ROEBUCK'S CALL OF THE HousH.—The country
will learn with mingled feelings of amazement and indig-
nation that Mr. Roebuck's motion, last night, for a Call
of the House for Tuesday next, was defeated. It was
lost by a majority of 133 to 108. We are afraid to trust
ourselves with any comments on the extraordinary con-
duct of the House of Commons in rejecting such a mo-
tion, at such a time as the present. Those who voted
against the hon. and learned gentleman will, in all pro-
bability, soon have cause to regret what they have done.
What more striking proof could be given of the corrup-
tion of the house ? What stronger argument could be
urged for a sweeping measure of Parliamentary Reform?
—llforning Advertiser.

ROYAL PANOPTICON.-Mr. Leicester Buckingham
commenced at the Royal Panopticon, on Monday after-
noon, a course of lectures on the " Genius of the Great
Composers," illustrated by selections from their works,
which promisee to be exceedingly interesting and attrac-
tive. In the first lecture, after a very clear and concise
review of the music of the Greeks, embracing all that is
known to us with respect to this obscure but inviting
subject, Mr. Buckingham sketched the early history of
the. art in its Christian application, through the progres-
sive stages of the Ambrosian Chant and the Gregorian
Tones, down to the period when Palestrina gave to eccle-
siastical music a new and higher character ; and then
reviewed the :works of Allegri, Scarlatti, and Corelli,
concluding with Pergolesi, whose admirable composi-
tions received high and merited commendation. The
lecture abounded in research, and the general tone of
the remarks on the style and merits of the various com-
posers manifested an intimate acquaintance with their
works, a keen appreciation of their respective charac-
teristics, and a thorough familiarity with the canons of
enlightened criticism. The musical illustrations, exe-
cuted by Mr. E. T. Chipp on the splendid organ, which
is one of the leading attractions of the Pa,noptieon, were
admirably selected, and rendered with great skill and
taste ; and if the remaining lectures of the course realise
the anticipations excited by the opening discourse, we
may confidently predict for the series a large share of
public patronage and support.

N TRUE Az FALSE SPERMATORRIMA,
with the View of distinguishing the Imaginary from the
Real Sufferers under this disease, and Correcting of wide-spread
Errors in relation to their Treatment and Cure. From the German
of Dr. PICKFORD. With an Introduction by the Editor, containing
a complete exposure of the system of terrorism and extortion pursued
by the advertising quacks of the metropolis towards those who are
credulous encugh to seek their aid.

" Dr. Pickford is known to English readers by his frequent practi-
cal contributions to German medical literature. This is the first
tame, he informs us, that he has addressed himself to the non-medi-
sal reader. We trust this may not be the last, if he shall detect any
other equally flagrant evil which it may be in his -over to cor-
rect."—London Medical Gazette. " The tribe of ' Quiet Sympathisers.'
and 'Medical Friends,' are mercilessly exposed; and if this bock
could find its way into the hands of those who sniffer from the com-
plaint of which it treats, we are satisfied that many hundreds would
be saved much needless suffering of body and mind, and what is of
teas importance, though it is that which the quacks most prize—
fetich money --This volume is well qualified to put an end to the
empirical system of treating Spermatorrhcea, and to place.the treat-
ment upon a more rational and physiological basis. It is, therefore,
likely to do much good."

THE ROYAL LITBRARY FUND.

The anniversary of this institutioh was held yeeterby
at the Freemasons' Tavern, Great Queen-street. The
company was very numerous. The Lord Bishop of
Oxford took the chair,
The dinner and the usual loyal toasts having been
disposed of,

The Rev. Mr. NaATE proposed "the Historians,"
associating with it the name of Sir Archibald Alison,
which having been drunk and duly honoured,
Sir A. ALISON returned thanks, and said that if the
portion of history to which he had devoted himself had
been, happily, more interesting to the public than that
which other historians had selected for their labours, no
praise was due to him, because it was entirely owing to
the prominent position in which the events be had re-
corded presented themselve•,, and to the interesting
period for historical illustration, which Was calculated 'to
engage the pen of a literary man. But all the excitement
of the great events of past times was exceeded by the
events of the present day. They had arrived at a period
when the interest of the put was exceeded by the interest
of the present, and the great problem they had to solve was
not as to what had been, but as to what light might be
thrown by the past on what was to core. It had been said
byaFrench writer that history was a lamp placed in the prow
t
c
of a vessel ; that it threw its light only on the past,_ buthey were now arrived at such a surprising means
in-
telligence, that the object of history itself almost
was to
,f
was
not'merely to know what was past, but
whatwhat had come. They not only sought to know

GRAND TRUNK RAILWAY OF CANADA•

On Friday last we referred at some length to the re-
ports of the principal officers of this company. Ye
now publish in extenso the highly important and valuable
ono of Mr. S. P. Bidder, the general manager of this
the greatest railway in the world. Mr. Bidder was
specially selected for his present appointment in conse-
quence of his arfect knowledge, not only of a railway
from the very commencement of its construction, but
also for his equally complete acquaintance with the most
minute details of traffic and of railway accounts, Mr.
Bidder is a man who adds t.) his other eminent qualities
unwearied Industry and application. Under his ma-
nagement the receipt, of what has been looked upon as
the least profitable portion of the Grand Trunk system
have nearly doubled in two years, and they bid fair,
eventually, to equal those of the more favoured portiems
of the line.

' "Inithe night between the 21st and 22d of April (3d
and 4th of May) the enemy made no further at erupts
against Bastions 4 and 5. On our side, we constructed
four new batteries on that space ; the ramp trts of the
old works were strengthened, and on some points
heightened ; the mining works were actively continued ;
nowhere could we hear the enemy at work in the nunez.

STATE OF TRADE.

MANCHESTER, May 22.—We have had a good deal of
business in yarn, but a very flat market for cloths. Mann-
facturzrs are in much the same position as on Tuesday
last. They find that speculation in cotton increases
rather than diminishes, that prices rise, that as long as
they go on working full time, yarn as well as cotton gets
dearer, and that every week they are relatively in a worse
position. The sales of cotton yesterday at Liverpool
were 30,000 bales, of which 20,000 were to specu-
lators, at Id. per lb. advance,' and up to noon
this day the sales have been 10,000 bales. The
buyers of yarn for export have been obliged to com-
pete here with those fcr the home trade, and sellers
have consequently been enabled to get up prices to
something like the advance in cotton. The aggregate
business has been large, and the improvement has been
d. to id. per lb. the sales include 16's to 20's water
twistfor Chien, and mule yarn up to 50's and 60's forlndia.
Buyers for Germany and the Mediterranean have also
been active purchasers.
i On the other hand, manufac-
turers find the market impracticable at an advance pro-
portionate with the rise in cotton and yarn. In some
cases they have been able to sell at the prices they would
have taken last week. Practically they find themselves,
taking into account the fact that cotton is now id. to
11d. per lb. dearer, in a worse position than at the end
of February—though that was one of depression--by 3/4d.
to id. on every pound of cloth they produce. The busi-
ness in cloth to-day is generally reported to have been

Messrs. John Slagg and Co. report of the cloth
market :

"The extraordinary state of the Liverpool market con-
tinues to have a very prejudicial effect here. Manufac-
turers, whose business generally has been for some time
unremunerative, are of course obliged to demand an ad-
vance corresponding in kerne degree to that obtained on
cotton and yarns ; but this has only the effect of keeping
buyers out of the market, soil is only in very few in-
stances that even the slightest advance on last week's rates
can be realised, and the business of the day is consequently
altogether inconsiderable in amount. It remains to be
seen which can longest hold out ; but we fear, if manufac-
turers continue to produce at the present rate, they will
get the worst of it. "
Messrs. George Fraser, Son, and Co. say :—" The
continued advance in the cotton-market has rendered
the state of ours extremely difficult. Spinners and
manufacturers decline in many cases to give quotations
at all where they are out of stock, and in nearly all cases
will not 'sell except at a decided rise. On the other
hand, there is an increasing indisposition on the part of
buyers to follow the movement. The extent of trans-
actions is consequently limited, and the state of matters
very unsatisfactory to all."
LEEDS, MAY 22. —There is no change to note in the
woollen cloth trade since Saturday. The public markets
have to-day been steady both as to price and demand,
but the quantity of cloth sold was scarcely so much as
on this day week.
