throughout the day.
BROMPTON HOSPITAL. —The third performance of the
New Philharmonic Society, on the 25th instant, will be
for the benefit of the Hospital for Consumption at
Brampton. Signor Belletti, Madame Clara Novello,
and a splendid orchestra will lend their assistance ; and
as the concert will have the especial patronage of her
Majesty, and a long list of distinguished ladies, it is ex-
pected to come off with great eclat.
SUDDEN DEATH OF THE DOWAGER MARCHIONESS OF
DOWNSHIRE.—We regret to have to announce the de-
cease of the Dowager Marchioness of Downshire, who
died suddenly on Saturday, at her house in Lower Gros-
venor-street. The deceased lady, who was Maria, eldest
daughter of the fifth Earl of Plymouth, was married in
the year 1811 to the late Marquis of Downshire, who
died in the year p 845. She was alady of most amiable
disposition and kind manners, and much beloved and
esteemed in a large and distinguished circle of relatives
and friends.

MR. GEORGE H. SMITH.—We learn from a private
source, and upon which every reliance is to be placed,
that this ill-fated gentleman, very soon after his commit-
tal from Rochester to Maidstone gaol, about six months
ago, on the verdict of the coroner's jury, which found
him guilty, of the murder of his wife, wag removed from
the hospital of that establishment to the County Asy-
lum Kent, where he has remained ever since. At the
Maidstone assizes last month, at which assizes his trial,
was expected to be brought on, the judge commissioned
a medical man to visit Mr. Smith in the asylum, and to
report upon his present state of mind. Mr. Smith was
by this professional gentleman pronounced to be still
insane, and the trial was in consequence postponed until
the next assizes, or until such time as he should be able
to plead to the charge brought against him. By an act
of Parliament passed early in the present reign, it is pro-
vided that no insane person shall be put upon his trial
until he is able to plead. We believe that the postinas-
tership of Jersey, held for the last several years by Mr.
Smith, has not yet been declared vacant.—Jersey Times.
DEATH OF WYNDHAM HARDING, ESQ., C.E. AND
F.R.S.—It is with sincere regret that we announce the
death of Mr. Wyndh .rin Harding, who died on Tuesday
last, near Cheltenham, in his 37th year. A gloomy and
melancholy feeling sprsad over Bridgend after the sad
message, despatched by telegraph, had reached Glen-
Ogwr, the seat of his father, the Rev. J. Harding, rector
of Coyty and Coychurch. Mr. Harding was too well
known in the scientific world to require any eulogium
from our hands. He was indeed endowed with a noble
mind, and that embodied in a noble nature. Mr. Hard-
in, iu his professional capacity, was well known as the
strong advocate of the narrow gauge. He received a
patent for a plan for stopping railway carriages. In a
literary point of view, his prodution, read at the Royal
British Association, Swansea, will long be remembered.
The lecture delivered by him at the School of Design, on
"The Lines of Beauty," was a masterly production, and
was universally admired. Several papers also have ap-
peared on experiments made by Mr. Harding on "Elec-
tricity" and the " Electric Light," with various others
relating to " Steam," "Mechanism," and "Chemistry."
Mr. Harding was for many years secretary to the South-
Western Red way Com pany. As a philanthropist hundreds
of hearts feel grateful for his exertions in assisting and ad-
vancing loans to emigrants to secure a free passage for
them to Australia. Mr. Harding built and fitted out two
ships for this purpose, and emigrated a vast number of
I people on Mrs. Chisholm's plan. We feel proud to state
those working people who received loans returned the
same most honourably. In every sense he was the work-
ing man's friend. The inhabitants of Southampton will
long remember the day when Mr. Harding and Mrs.
Chisholm met to witness the departure of emigrants,
and when each of them addressed the vast assemblage
congregated for that purpose. Mr. Harding was for
many years President of the Bridgend Mechanics' Insti-
tute. His speeches on anniversary meetings evinced
his knowledge and comprehensive views of men and
things. This society, by the death of Mr. Harding, will
lose one of its bestfriends.—Cambrian.
EXTENSIVE FIRE AT WOOLWICH. MIRACULOUS
ESCAPE OF Six CIIILDREN.—A fire, attended with a
econsiderable aectruction of property and almost fatal
results to six children, happened between the hours of
three and four o'clock on Saturday morning last, in the
premises belonging to Mr. J. Steel, stationer and beer-
shop-keeper, situate at No. 39. Church-street, Woolwich.
The fire was first discovered by a police-officer of the R
division, who in passing the premises perceived smoke
issuing from the lower part of the house, which con-
vinced him that flames were on the point of breaking
out. Without a moment's delay an alarm was sounded,
and messengers were despatched for the engines.
Several of the inmates having effected a safe retreat,
it was ascertained that not fewer than six children
had been left in the building, which was then nearly
three -parts on fire. The police, upon being
made acquainted with that fact, gallantly rushed through
the fire, and happily succeeded in rescuing the whole of
the children, not one of them having sustained the
slightest injury. The flames next extended from the
premises of Mr. Steel to those adjoining, belonging to
Mr. W. Lee, chandler's-shop-keeper, No. 38, in Church-
street. The engines of her Majesty's dockyard were
soon in attendance, and a plentiful supply of the Kent
Company's water having been procured, the police went
to work in an 'admirable manner, and they eventually
succeeded in extineuishing the flames, but not until the
premises of Mr. Steel acre partially consumed, ;Ine the premises of Mr. Loe, next door, similarly damaged by
fire, water, and hasty removal. The sufferers were re-
spectively insured in the Norwich Union and Atlas Fire
Offices. The origin of the misfortune is unknown.

TURKEY.

A letter from Constantinople, of the 26th ult., in
the Courrier de Marseille of the sth inst., says—
" Our city assumes every day an extraordinary ap-
pearance. The works of the camp of the artily of reserve
are progressing rapidly. The streets are filled with
military uniforms, officers, intendants, interpreters, and
soldiers, moving backward and forward with incredible
activity. Everything we see affords us convincing proof
of the powerful organisation of the French army. Troops
have already arrived for the camp of Malasq. I can
give you to-day the composition of the army of reserve,
which, as I mentioned in a former letter, will probably
operate with the Piedmontese division in Bessarabia.
The camp will consist of three divisions of infantry
(ens of which will be the Imperial Guard), of a division
of Cavalry, and of a. numerous Artillery—viz.,
"Imperial Guard.-4 battalions of Grenadiers, 2,400
men ; 4 battalions of Voltigeurs, 2,400 men, and 1 of
Foot Chasseurs, 600 men.

"First Division.-Ist brigade, 14th battalion of Foot
Chasseurs, 800 men ; 42d and 57th Regiments, 3,600
men ; 2d brigade, 62d and 73d Regiments, 3,600 men.
"Second Division-Ist brigade. 7th battalion of Foot
Chasseurs, 800 men ; 9th and 32d Regiments, 3,600
men.

"Cavalry.—Guides of the Guard, 600 men ; 2 regi-
ments of Cuirassiers, now at Adrianople, 800 men.
"Artillery.-2 batteries of the Guard, 500 men ;3d
battery of thelOth Regiment, 249 men ; 2d battery of
the Bth Regiment, 249 men ; 3d battery of the 12th
Regiment, 249 men ; 14th battery of the 13th Regi-
ment, 249 Mem._

Engineers—One company and a-half ofthe Guard and
one ditto of the Line.

" We expect shortly two regiments of Chasseurs
d'Afrique, but those troops are not to remain at Con-
stantinople, our generals requiring them in the Crimea,
where they have only a small cavalry force to oppose
the numerous Russian cavalry.* The English army will
soon be in a most efficient state. It has received large
reinforcements, and men perfectly cured daily leave our
hospitals for the Crimea. Yesterday 300 embarked in
the Medway for Balaklava."

FRANCE.
(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)

PARIS; SUNDAY.
Of political discussion the Paris papers are al-
most without exception blank. Some important
facts, apparently well founded as such, transpire
however in their correspondence from Vienna and
Constantinople and more especially in that of the
Pays and the donstitutionnel. With respect to the
latter city, the Pays thus refers to it
"Ws publish elsewhere, from a special correspon-
dence, the text of the instructions which will have been
given by the Ottoman Porte to its ambassador at the
Court of Vienna. These consist of general recommen-
dations which prescribe to Arib Effendi to accept only
ad referendum, the different subjects recommended to the
conference; but it is certais that the Minister of Fo-
reign Affairs, Ali Pacha, is the bcarer of the definitive
instructions of the Sublime Porte."

The special correspondence of the Constitutionnel

from Vienna (which we give elsewhere) announces
with a quasi formality the gratifying intelligence
that—

"By the adoption, pure and simple, of the fourth
guarantee, Russia has made two very important conces-
sions."

A letter in the Siecle says :—" The desperate
efforts of the Russians to check and destroy the
new works of the Allies clearly indicate that the
vulnerable point of the place has been found.
Stich at least is the opinion which I have heard ex-
pressed by persons initiated in the science of arms.
This opinion is based on the fact which appears out
of the pale of doubt that, when once our new bat-
teries shall be terminated they will absolutely do-
minate the port of Sebastopol, and may facilitate
the entrance of the allied fleets, if the allies succeed,
as is hoped,, by submarine machines in blowing up
the vessels which block the pass. The arrival of
vessels from France with men, horses, and ammu-
nition is continued with great activity."
A letter from Aleppo of the 12th ult., in -the
Moniteur, says :—" Couetli-Mehemet Paella, an
Ottoman General, having been informed that the
chief of the insurgent Kurds was at
,Chalagha,
village in the neighbourhood of Deronne, marched
lately on that place with 16,000 men and 10 pieces
cf artillery, and resolutely attacked the rebels. The
latter, after a combat of four hours, fled to the
mountains, leaving 150 killed and 600 prisoners in
the hands of the Turks."

As the Empress, unaccompanied by the Emperor,
was walking yesterday afternoon in the Bois de
Boulogne, with the carriage in waitin', the drums
of a battalion of the Voltigeurs of the Guard, that
happened to be on its way from St. Cloud to Paris,
were heard ; her Majesty entered the carriage,
which appeared to move out of the way, but the
moment the troops saw the Empress they drew up
in line, and she passed slowly in front amid the
most enthusiastic shouts. The officer commanding
the column approached the carriage door, took the
Empress's hand and pressed it to his lips. At this
act the shouts were again renewed. The Empress
appeared much affected at the manner in which
she was received, for to all appearance the meeting
was most unexpected.
We read in the Phare de la illanche

"The screw liner Austerlitz, commanded by Captain
Laurencin, is now in the roadstead of Cherbourg, mak-
ing the requisite fitments for the conveyance of the Em-
peror and Empress to England. In a few days, between
the 10th and 12th inst., this ship will proceed to Bou-
logne, where their Majesties are to embark for Dover.
The corvette Bayonnaise, which is about to leave for the
Iceland station, the steam avisos of the channel, and the
other ships of war, will no doubt assemble in the Straits
to form the Imperial squadron on that memorable occa-
sion. Two steam avisos, the Ariel, coming from Gran-
ville, and the Souffleur, from Brest, have already ar-
rived at Cherbourg."
The two battalions of Gensdarnies of the Impe-
rial Guard, who left Paris on Saturday evening by
the Lyons Railway, are not to embark imme-
diately, but to await further orders at Avignon.

The following is from the Times Paris corres-
pondent's letter, dated yesterday, 6 p.m. :—I am
assured, on good authority, that the telegraphic
despatch from Berlin, published in the Paris
papers, announcing that General de Wedell had
set out on his return to Paris, but had received
a counter-order on the way, is entirely devoid
of foundation. General de Wedell has not
quitted Berlin, at least not quitted it for Paris
on any other mission, and consequently could
not have been countermanded. He had been
expected this day or to-morrow here, but as
his stay at Berlin may be some days longer than
was supposed, ho will probably not return till the
middle or close of the week. I may also observe
that., whatever be the chances of an understanding
with Prussia, the mission with which the General
has been charged to this Government is not at an
end, and will probably be resumed on his return.
friend, whose opportunities for obtaining accu
rate information I have found more than once to
be excellent, but who, I fear, is rather sanguine
on the present occasion, persists with much tena-

brought to an abrupt supension, or even
arrested, he think,-; that such neverthele,s would 1

credit the information contained in more than one
confidential letter from personages allied with the
Imperial family, Russia is in reality most desirous
of peace, notwithstanding the vastness of mil
military preparations. Prussia, I assure you,
firmly convinced that should the diplomatic ell,

"in much admired disorder," she can then
step in and impose her will. lam not qui
