(FROM ANOTHER LETTER.)

SESKAR, June 18.
The squadron of observation, comprising three
small steamers, and of which the Merlin, Captain
Sullivan, is entitled to special notice, have accu-
rately ascertained by their several cruises off both
shores of Cronstadt the present strength of the de-
fences of that stronghold, which have been consi-
derably augmented since the withdrawal of the Al-
lied fleets from the Gulf of Finland towards the
close of the past year. The principal fortresses on
the south side are those of Constantine, Alexander,
Peter the Great, Risbank, and Cronslot. They
command the narrow channel, and from their rela-
fve positions can pour in a heavy cross fire on
ships forcing the passage. The most formidable of
them is the Risbank battery. It has 217 guns, of
the calibre of eight qui ten inches, arranged in four
tiers. Fort Alexander mounts 120 guns, Peter the
Great 132, Constantine 35, and Cronslot citadel
10), making a total of 604 guns. Of the 1 trge
flotilla of gun-boats in the harbour 17 are propelled
by steam power, and are of a much larger descrip-
tion than those of the Allies. On the north side
several earthworks have recently been thrown up,
and several line-of-battle ships sunk across the
mouth of the harbour.. Since the combined naval
forces were off Cronstadt in 1854 the Russians
have availed themselves of the interval in rendering
it as impregnable as possible.

FRANCE.

PARIS, TUESDAY EVENING.
We have not had as yet any more detailed in-
formation respecting the affair of the 18th, in
which, as previously observed, only two divisions
were engaged ; but the despatches already received
are of a kind to diminish the gravity originally
attached to a check which there is little doubt will
be repaired and avenged before long—if such has
not already been the case.

It appears, unless the attacking forces each suc-
ceeded, neither the assailants of the Malakhoff nor
the Redan could hold their ground. Some attri-
bute blame to the English forces, in not being pro-
vided for eventualities with scaling ladders, &c.,
but this is mere conjecture.
Reports say the Russians are working as hard as
the Allies for the next struggle. It appears that
Perekop will eventually become the interesting
point. An officer who has reached Paris with re-
ports, states the number of the Russians now in
the rimea fit for service is probably not more
than 150,000, including the garrison of Sebastopol.
But fresh- troops are marching. towards Perekop.
A telegraphic despatch anuouhces the safe arrival
of the Empress at Bordeaux last night at a quarter
past ten. _ _

An Imperial decree appoints General Salle to
the command of the sub-division of the Meuse, at
Verdun. '

Generals Reveux and Talandier, of the 12th and
17th military divisions, and General Gauthier de
la Vorderie, member of the committee of gendar-
mery, have just been placed on the second section
(reserve) of the staff.

The King of Portugal embarked at Marseilles on
the 24th on board the Reino Hortense and landed
the same evening at Toulon.
The gun-brig La Vigie left Algiers on the 20th
to continue her voyage to Constantinople and the
Black Sea. The Fournaise and Torche bomb
vessels left Cherbourg on the 24th for the Baltic,
in tow of the Tonnerre steamer.

DRURY-LANE THEATRE.

Donizetti's Lucrezia Borgia was played last night at
this theatre for the purpose of introducing a new tenor
—a Signor Favio—to a London audience, in the cha-
racter of Gennaro. This gentleman possesses a voice
of moderate compass, but he was labouring so severely
last evening from nervousness that we defer our notice
until another opportunity. Madame Arga sung the
music of Lucrezia very creditably, as did Miss F.
Huddart that of Maffio—the Brindisi, of course, receiv-
ing the honour of an encore. On a repetition of the
opera we suggest the propriety of adhering to the origi-
nal time of the music ; speaking generally, the whole of
it last night was sung too slow. The house was crowded
in every part, the dress circle presenting quite an array
of rank and fashion.

HAYMARKET THEATRE.

MR, BUCKSTONE'S BENEFIT.

The benefit of Mr. Buckstone, the enterprising lessee
of this favourite theatre, is fixed fur Friday next, the
29th inst., and the entertainments selected for the occa-
sion are of the most attractive description. The per-
formances commence with the admirable comedy of The
Busy Body, in which Mr. Buckstone will sustain the
part of Marplot, a treat in itself ; after which the
fascinating Perea Nena and Senor Marcos Diaz,
and the whole troupe of Spanish dancers, will
make their re-appearance ; in addition to which
an original farce, entitled Mr. Buckstone'* Adven-
tures with a Polish Princess, will be presented for the
first time—the lessee himself sustaining the principal
part. During the present season the services of the
most eminent actors and actresses have been secured
for the little theatre in- the Haymarket; and, as a
proof of his encouragement to authors, he has ac-
cepted and produced a greater number of plays than
any lessee in London. That the house will be filled to
repletion we cannot doubt, for no manager ever exerted
himself more than Mr. Buckstone has to deserve the
support and patronage of the play-going public of the
metropolis.

BOW STREET (THIS DAY).

THE CISE OF STRAHAN, PAUL, AND CO.
The excitement created by this case appears to in.
crease rather than diminish. This morning the ap.
proaches to the polico court were densely crowded by a
highly respectable body of persons, anxious to catch a
glimpse of the prisoner, although it was understood
that the proceedings would last but a few minutes, the
remand being only a formal one, the power of the magis-
trate only enabling him to detain persons in custody for
a week.

At five minutes past twelve the door of the court was
opened for the admission of the public, and in about
two minutes the body of the court was filled to suffoca.
tion.

The three prison#rs Sir Joltn Dean Paul, Bart., Wil-
lianz, Straltan, and Robert Makin Bates having been
placed at the bar,

Mr. Humphries said that, as the attendance this
morning was merely a matter of form, he should not
address any observations to the worthy magistrate fur-
ther than to ask that the prisoners be again remanded
till this day week.

Mr. Parry said ho appeared there on the part of Mr.
Bates. He did not attend to make any opposition to the
proposition for a remand, but he thought it right to state
publicly that whon the proper time arrived he should be
able to show, that whatever fault had been committed,
as far as regarded any offence against the criminal law,
he (Mr. Bates) bad committed no such offence. He felt
it right to state this publicly, as the conduct of the de•
fondants had been so freely commented on by the most
influential portion of the press, even in their leading
articles.

Mr. Holt said, when the proper time arrived, he
should be prepared with a proper answer to the charge
on the part of the other two gentlemen.

Mr. Humphries said, as this was merely a formal
proceeding, he did not think it necessary to answer the
remarks made by Mr. Parry.

Mr. Parry—For one of the best of reasons, you have
no answer to it.
Mr. Jardine asked dr. Humphries if he would be
prepared to proceed with the eve on 'Wednesday next ?
Mr. Humphries said he would.

The magistrate then ordered the prisoners to be re
mended till this day week.

The Monitcur de l'Annee, of the 12th inst., says—The
Russians are beginning to run short of cannon balls and
grape shot. A recent order of the day of General Osten
Sacken would at least seem to indicate it. To supply
the deficiency they use fragments of our shells, which
the enclose in canisters. _ _

The Germanic Diet held a sitting on the 21st, when
it received a letter from the Senate of Hamburg, inform-
ing it of the rejection of the bill on the Constitution.
The letter was referred to the Political Committee.
The Committee of the House of Lords, appointed to
consider Earl Shaftesbury's bill for the limitation of .the
hours of labour amongst needlewomen, report that it is
inexpedient to proceed with the consideration of the
measure.

PIED MONT.

The Piedmontese Government has received de-
spatches from the Crimea up to the 22d, from
which it appears that the cholera is on the decrease
in the Piedmontese army. From May 13th to
June Bth there had been 869 cases of cholera ; 37
had recovered and 382 had died. Up to the 22d
the Piedmontese had taken no active part in any
encounter.

The Opinione of Turin, of the 23d, says that the
Philippine monks of that capital have determined
to proceed judicially against the Royal decree
which comprises their convent among those to be
suppressed. This example, it is said, will be fol-
lowed by other religious fraternities.

PRUSSIA.

A letter from Berlin of the 23d, in the Debats,
says :—" The indications of a disarming in Ger-
many are become more and more multiplied.
In Wurtemburg, amongst other countries, mea-
sures are being prepared for it ; recently, the Pre-
sident of the Council, M. de Linden, publicly ex-
pressed the hope that numerous furloughs would
soon enable large savings to be effected. The tele-
graphic conferences are nearly terminated, and the
draft of the new treaty to be concluded on the
subject between Germany, Belgium, and France
has been in part drawn up. The principal points
already agreed to are that the number of words
in a single despatAi is raised from 25 to 30, five
being allowed for the address ; and that an an-
swer not exceeding ten words, sent within twenty-
four hours, shall be charged only half price.
The representatives of Belgium and France hav-
ing demanded to communicate it to their .Go-
vernments, the conferences have been sus-
pended until they can do so. The satisfactory con-
clusion of the negotiations is confidentially ex-
pected. It is reported to-day that the Russian
Government has entered into negotiations with an
American company for the construction of a rail-
way from St. Petersburg to Warsaw."

RARE OCCURRENCE.—A poor woman residing at 11",
Ellen-street, Newtown, Cardiff, was safely delivered on
the 22d of May last (before the arrival of the medical
man) of four fine children, all girls, who, with the mo-
ther, are doing well and likely to live. Her husband,
Barney Sanders, has worked for Messrs. Hemming-way,
contractors for the new Bute Docks, for a considerable
time, at fifteen shillings per week, and bears an exeellent
character.

FATAL ACCIDENT TO MR. GEORGE CCRZON.—We
regret to state that Mr. George Curzon, heir presump-
tive to the Barony of Scarsdale, and cousin of the Earl
Howe, met with an accident in Hyde-park, on Satur-
day, which has terminated fatally. The unfortunate
gentleman was riding in Hyde-park on Saturday even-
ing just before 6 o'clock, and when midway between
Apsley House and Stanhope-gate, ire endeavouring to
pass by two carriages, his horse became restive, and
threw him on the edge of the footway. Mr. Curzon fell
on his head, which it is believed, from the very serious
injuries he received, must have come in contact with the
kerb-stone. Ho was immediately conveyed to St.
George's Hospital; and Mr. Holmes, the house surgeon,
on perceiving the extent of the injuries sustained, called
in the aid of Mr. C. Hawkins. On that gentleman see-
ing the patient he immediately pronounced the case a
hopeless one. A telegraphic message was then for-
warded to Derbyshire, apprising Mrs. A. Curzon, mother
of the deceased, of the accident, and she arrived in Lon-
don early yesterday morning, and reached the hospital
about an hour and a half before the dissolution of her
son, and, with the Countess Howe, was present at his
death, which took place a quarter past seven a.m. The
the Howe had been by the bedside of his cousin e
the greater part of the night. The deceased daring
Nathaniel Curzon was eldest son of the late Hon. and
Rev. Alfred Curzon, brother of Lord Scarsdale,arield was
born sth October, 1826. His remains have been ro•
moved to his lodgings in South Auciley•titreet.

SWEDEN.

STOCKHOLM, June B.—Negotiations have been
opened with the Swedish government for ceding
the island of Gothland. to England and France, in
order to form a winter station for the fleets, which
wool I then be able to 6nclior in the safe and com-
modious harbour of Faro Sound, and not be obliged
to return home at the end of the campaign. The
advantages to be derived from this plan are obvious.
From that advanced position the ships could keep
a better check on the movements of the enemy,
nor need they retire from the coast till actually
obliged to do so by the setting in of the frost,
whilst Gothland offers a favourable situation for
the permanent establishment of large depots of
coals, provisions, ammunition, and stores for the
use of the fleets, as well as hospitals for the sick and
wounded, and barracks' for the land troops during
the winter. The allied forces would, moreover, be
enabled to exercise a better control over the move-
ments of neutral vessels, and prevent the recurrence
of such a shameful act as that lately performed by
the United States merchant ship Sammy Apple-
ton, in landing 50,000 rifles and 12,000 revolvers
at Baltic Port. It is a question for the investiga-
tion of her Majestys Government, what was the
British Consul at Boston about, to permit the ship-
ment to take place under his very eyes, or, at all
events, not to give the Government intelligence a
the fact, that proper measures might been taken
in time to stop the vessel in question at Elsinore,
where she lay for several days, waiting till the state
of the ice allowed her to proceed to Port Baltic ?

CITY OF LONDON THEATRE.

The locality of Eishopsgate is in a blaze of excitement
at the eng,agenient of the renowned Charles Mathews.
At first they appeared incredulous of their own good
fortune in having such a genius amongst them. The
high character of the management prevented the shrug
of doubt. Charles Mathews, the only man upon the
stage that suggests a memory or Eiliston, and by
many degrees the most accomplisb.el comedian •of
the day, is now engaged for one month at this
elegant eastern theatre, and is supported as he was
wont to be at the Lyceum by an ez cellent company
and costly appointments, that denote a care and expen-
diture on the part of the proprietors which should war-
rant a large share of patronage from the public to repay
them fur the very liberal manner in. which they have
catered for their amusement. The host of the Lyceum
comedies are here not vamped up for the occasion, but
represented in a way worthy of the theatre that stands
in the centre of the first city in the world. Mr. Charles
Mathews has found crowds of admirers, who nightly
applaud him to tho echo. Every part in which
this distinguished comedian appears is a creation
of his own ; and if the dwellers in the city now
miss the opportunity so liberally afforded them, they will
not only have to mourn their own loss of the highest
kind of theatrical enjoyment, but they will reflect a die
credit on their locality by inducing a supposition that
they prefer the bombast of extravagance to the refine-
ment of genuine comedy. Messrs. Johnson and Nelson
Lee have had the good taste to retain the prices as here-
tofore, thus placing it within the means of all classes to
witness the admirable persenations of the greatest living

INFLUX OF GOLD.

The influx of gold at the present time is remarkable
and important. By the return made by the Bank for
the week ending June 2, it appears that the bullion in
both departments had increased, during the week, by no
less a sum than 724,321/., and that the total stock
amounted to 17,789,1021.
Since then the amount of specie bronht in from the
West Indies, New York, and Australia has been very
considerable. 923,000/. was announced, at the end of
last week—of which about 200,000/. was gold from Au,.
tralia, and the remainder silver. On Monday, 335,000/.
in gold arrived by the Baltic from New York. The
exports, meanwhile, are reported as under 200,000/.
The active circulation of bank notes was by the last
return under 20 millions, but the amount of unemployed
notes had mounted up to 11,342,970/. This influx of
bullion, which at present merely makes itself apparent
in the Bank returns, will before long exercise a practical
effect on the trade and commerce of the country. People
are not to imagine that if gold flows into the country one
week we are to see an increaied state of prosperity the
next. This is as unreasonable as to expect that the me-
dicine which a physician prescribes shall produce a bene-
ficial effect before it be well swallowed. But should the
influx of bullion continue, or should even the amount
already received be retained in the bank coffers, there
can be little doubt as to the result. The commercial
state of the country will improve. In spite of war, heavy,
taxes, and high prices, the beneficial effects of an ade-
quate and abundant circulating medium, which the gold
will enable the bank to provide for the country, will
speedily become apparent.
There can, we think, be little reason to doubt that
the immense quantities of gold discovered in California
and Australia, and now poured with unceasing prodi-
gality into the system of the wl.ole commercial world,
are producing a silent but mighty and irresistible revo.
lution in the prices of commodities.

To England, as the emporium of the world, a large
portion of this gold would necessarily find its way. And
little advantage, except the cheapening'of toys and orna-
ments, would this rich and powerful country derive from
this beautiful yellow metal, were not its abundance a
counteraction to the pernicious and ruinous system of
currency which our law-makers in their ignorance have
imposed on the nation.
We hail the discoveries of California and Australia as
deposing gold from that high place in which it was
placed as a tyrant over productive industry by unwise
Legislation.—Derbyshire Courier.

A monument is about to b__ e erected in honour of
Colonel Blair, the late member for Ayrshire, who fell

obelisk, of granite, which will be seen for mile. around.

THE ORDNANCE DEPARTMENT.

The committee then referred to the Ordnance De-
partment upon the efficiency of which they reported
depended the efficiency of the military and naval ser-
vices, and that Lord Raglan, Master-General of the
Odnauce, baying, in 1854, been appointed to the com-
mand of the army in the East, Sir Hew Rass was nomi-
nated Lieutenant-General of the Ordnance by Lord Aber-
deen, an office which bad been many years previously
abolished, but was then revived.
During the summer and autumn of 1854 the board
officer was employed abrqad during a period when the
pressure of business was heavier and the expenditure
larger than any previous year, and when the presence of
this officer was wanted at home more than at any period.
The Master-General's responsibility was in some measure
dispensed with by the appointment of the Lieutenant-
General, who, however, was without the power of con-
troul,. and the conflict of party that arose at the board
between the members whose urgent business re-
quired unanimity, and the committee regretted
that the public service should, therefore, have
suffered from the want of judgment and temper on the
part of the officers, and considered it would have been
better had another Mager-General been appointed when
Lord Raglan left the country. The vague intention of
Lord Aberdeen of remodellingthis department was no pal-
liation for the conduct of the board. The committee also
expressed their dissatisfaction at the contract system
adopted by the board, and adverted to the quality of the
tools supplied to the army, remarking that the committee
could not sufficiently impress on members the importance
of placing in the hands of soldiers on all occasion the
best tools that could e obtained. (Hear, hear.) They
at the same time felt bound to mention the satisfactory
equipment of the corp of artillery, and the efficient ar-
rangement to provide for the navy.
