the annals of recruiting in the north of Scotland since
the regiment was first raised. One company of the 03d
have left Dundee, and one of the 42d Stirling Castle, for
the same destination. The recruits in these companies,
though for the most part under 20 years of age, are in
general fine healthy young men, those in the 79th parti-
cularly so, most of them being from service in the coun-
try, where they had wages ran;ing from 3/. 10s, to 51.
in the half year, besides victuals.

THE DANUBE.

Although the blockade of the mouths of the
Danube by the allied squadrons has been raised,
it would appear that the navigation on that river
is not yet re-established. The Russian authorities
will not permit any vessel, even those belonging to
Austria, to descend the river. o,ne exception alone
is made in favour of the vessels belong to the house
of Gopiwitch, of Trieste.

SPAIN.

MADRID, 15th.—The proposition for a mixed
Senate was rejected yesterday in the Cortes by a
majority of 136 to 69. A Spauish frigate, supposed
to have been formerly a Russian vessel, has been
captured by French steamers in the waters of
Cadiz.

The Opinione of Turin states that a new pro-
clamation of Mazzini is being circulated at Genoa.
It is addressed to the Piedmontese army, and re-
commends it, though in obscure language, to be-
tray its duty.

The Gazette de Chambery states that General
La Marmora, on receiving the visit of the officers
of the garrison stationed in that town, during a
stay of a few hours which he made there on his
way to Turin, stated it as is belief that the Pied-
montese troops would set out for the Crimea about
the 10th of April.

The Trieste Gazette states that on the 10th the
flags on the Greek vessels in that port appeared
half-mast high, as a mark of mourning on the occa-
sion of a funeral service being performed in the
Greek church for the Emperor Nicholas. In addi-
tion to the Russian Vice-Consul at Trieste, a great
number of Greek subjects were present.

A Varna correspondent of the Oesterreichische
Zeitung, writing en the 6th inst., says that Omer
Paella's army at Eupatoria will eventually be
56,000 strong. Turkish troops continue to be
transported thither from Varna. There are 9,000
men at Schumla. The governor of that place is
now busy in routing out the numerous robber
bands infesting the neighbouring country. A re-
serve force is to be established at Varna, and some
French engineers are planning a fortified camp,
which is to be constructed on the heights com-
manding the Devxa Lake.

The Fronden Blatt learns that the Piedmontese
corps is to be sent to Asia Minor, to assist in the
defence of Anatolia. It will be landed at Trebi-
zond, and will occupy Erzeroum. The King of
Sardinia will inspect the expeditionary troops at
Alessandria, and afterwards go to Spezia. One
thousand mules are being purchased to ho sent to
the Crimea. It is said that his Majesty will accom-
pany the Emperor Napoleon to the Crimea. We
learn from Belgrade that 250 Turkish artillerymen
have left there for Rustchuk. Their ultimate
destination is understood to be the Crimea.

Speaking of the condition of the Russian armies
in the Crimea, the Mililarisehe Zeitung says that
Bakshi-Serai now resembles an enormous lazaretto.
Thousands and thousands of sick and wounded
soldiers are quartered in the town. The grand
highway from Perekop to Bakshi-Serai is covered
with ammunition waggons on their way to Sebas-
topol. The number of Russian troops in the penin-
sula is calculated at 170,000 wen.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

BOW-STREET. —.A.Tashiona,bly-d ressed foreigner, who
gave the name of Francis 80l Aliaan, was charged be-
fore Mr. Henry with stealing wearing apparel, &c.
from dwelling-houses.
Dr. W. J. Collins, of 46, Gloucester-road, Regent's-
park, stated that on Friday week the prisoner called at
his residence and inquired for him. He was shown into
a waiting room to which witness at once repaired, asking
him what he wanted. He replied that he had brought
something from Paris, which would be of interest to him
in his profession. Witness replied, " I know nothing
of you, end must request that you will immediately
leave my house." He (witness) suspected him from the
first moment of seeing him, and believing that ho was
one of those persons who had been so repeatedly de-
scribed in the newspapers as visiting gentlemen's houses
for the purpose of robbing them, he kept a sharp eye on
the prisoner, and saw hint safe out of the house to pre-
vent the possibility of his picking up anything in the
hall en his way to the door. Shortly after the fellow's
departure, however, he missed his cloth cloak from the
hall, and then ho remembered that the prisoner had one
across his arm, when witness found him waiting in the
room, but which he, of course, concluded was his own ;
he could not have supposed it possible for a man to have
the assurance to steal his coat, and then, without any
attempt to conceal it, coolly wait for an interview with
the owner of the property. This, however, was precisely
what the prisoner did, for when he was taken into cus-
tody on another charge of felony, he was found wearing
the cloak which he had just previously stolen from
witness.

The prisoner said, in broken English, that it was quite
an accident. He had hung his own cloak on the same
peg, iu the hall, as the doctor's, and on taking it down
aain must have carried the doctor's with it—because,
to his astonishment after he had left the Louse, he found
himself in possession of two cloaks instead of one. He
did not like to return it to the doctor's residence for
fear he should " misbelieve" that the accident was un-
intentiona'.

Mr. penny said tiro pri.coner wa3 quite at liberty to
tell that st ;ry to the jury, -arid if they believed it, they
would, u. doubt, acquit hint.

, .
A ,ecorof was preferred azainst the prisoner
by the landlord of the Market Coile,t-tiouse, James-street,
Covent-.,:irien, where he took a bed for the night, but
contrived to decamy with wearing apparel to the value
of tit., belonging chiefly to the wow:Lots.
:Mr. Henry committed the prisoner for trial on both
charges.

WORSHIP-STREET.—Joha _Blake, aged 22, was
charged before Mr. Hammill with forcing out a woman's
eye.
Harriett Powell, the complainant, whose features were
scarcely visible from bandage; stated that she was "an
u❑fortunate." For the last three weeks she had coha-
bited with the defendant, but his habits of intoxication

PR USSIAN WAR ESTIMATES

The following is the text of the project of ad-
dress to the King in the Second Chamber, proposed
by the committee appointed to examine the bill re-
lative to the war estimates :

"In presence of the dangers, the complications of
which increase daily in Europe and threaten our coun-
try, the Government of your Majesty has addressed a
demand to the Chambers that the credit granted in the
spring by them to provide for the extraordinary wants
of the army should be continued.

"In accomplishing our duty this demand of the Go-
vernment has been carefully examined by us. We are
alive to the full gravity of the present situation, and of
the dangers which surround the country.
"In this solemn moment we have felt it our duty to
approach the steps of the throne to express directly to
your Majesty our sentiments and our conviction.
"The Prussian nation knows how to appreciate in all
its value the blessings of a peace which for nearly 40
years, under the wisdom of its kings, has given abund-
ance to our country and developed its resources to a de-
gree never attained before.
"But, however deeply it appreciates those blessings,
the faithful people of your Majesty knows also that there
exist blessings of a higher order, and if, in the compli-
cations with which the future is pregnant, the country
should behold in danger its honour, its independence, or
its position as a great power, the Prussian people would
place itself with full devotion, with its traditional fidelity,
irresistible, with its blood and its possessions by the side
of your Majesty, to face all the chances of destiny.
"In placing at the foot of the throne the assurance of
our unshaken fidelity, of our unlimited devotion, we
have also another sacred duty to fulfil.
"We cannot refrain from expressing the anxiety with
which your Majesty's faithful people have followed dur-
ing the last ten mouths the policy of the Royal Govern-
ment in the great European question.
" It has seen with sorrow Prussia leave the commu-
nity of the Great Powers represented last year at the
Vienna Conferences, and thereby renounce the most
efficacious means of assisting, by a firm attitude, which
would exclude every doubt, the speedy attainment of the
object so ardently desired by the whole country, a
peace offering durable guarantees against the renewal of
the disturbance of established order in Europe, in a
manlier conformable equally to the dignity, the in-
terests, and the position of Prussia, as a Power, as
also to the declarations made at the commencement of
the year by the Government of your Majesty concerning
its future line of policy.
" We know how to appreciate in their full extent the
difficulties of the present situation ; but in presence of
those anxieties we must express the respectful conviction
that, whatever may happen, we behold the most essential
and the most indi:,pensable guarantee of the future of
Prussia in a firm and consistent line of policy."

ADULTERATION OF FLOUR.- - The Leeds batelligeneer
of Saturday contains a long statement with reference to
the adulteration of corn, from which it appears that on
Friday last, at Keighley, two corn millers were eonvioted
iii the penalty of 201. each for having adulterated some
flour in their possession, a portion of which was stated, by
the chemist who analysed it, to contain alum and sulphate
of magnesia, and upon a second analysis, oil of vitriol
and oxide of iron .

EMIGRATION TO NEW ZEALAND.—On Friday last the
New Era, a magnificent vessel of 1,300 tons, engaged
by Messrs. Frederick Young and Co., the agents for the
Provincial Government of Wellington, sailed from
Gravesend with a large number of labouring emigrants
for the above settlement. Previous to the departure of
the ship Mr. Young delivered a kindly address to the
assembled emigrants. A schoolmaster goes eut with the
vessel, whose labours will not be confined to the children
on board—such of the adult emigrants as may choose to
avail themselves of the opportunity will have the benefit
of his instructions.

be completely equipped.

Intelligence reached Paris during the course of
yesterday afternoon that the first of the Four
Points Lad been discussed on Saturday, and
that the interpretation of the Westein Powers
had been accepted by the Russian envoys.
If this be true—and there is every reason

for believing it so—Russia rolinquishes the
protectorate of the Principalities. This is cer-
tainly a great point gained. Russia will no longer
have a right to dabble in the affairs of " the
eick man," and one fertile source for colourable
aggression is placed for ever beyond her reach.
The questions as to the Powers in whom the
future protectorate shall vest is one which re-

mains open for future discussion. The news of
this peaceful and favourable opening of the Con-
ferences has of course strongly stimulated the
hope of peace, and the success of the Vienna Con-
ference in adjusting the present unhappy differ-
ences is more than ever regarded as probable.

OF TVAI?FARE.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Sin,—Will any good to England arise out of the offer
which the Earl of Dundoeald has so honourably and
zealously made to Government ?
That is the question now being generally asked. His
lordship's antecedents and position in the navy, together
with his known mechanical skill, may obtain for him
attention to his scheme in the manner he proposes.
But all governments act as drag-chains upon inventions ;
because, inventions, if adopted, do generally interfere,
more or less, with existing establishments and patronage.
It must, however, be conceded that very many schemes
have been presented to Government that are altogether
impracticable, and which would, if submitted by Govern-
ment to experiment, involve a useless expenditure of the
public money. There have, nevertheless, been inven-
tions put down, it is believed, by official discourage-
ment, that would, if they had been examined,prop!rlYm

PRUSSIA.

BERLIN, March 13.—A telegraphic despatch, of
the 10th inst., from St. Petersburg, announces the
arrival of Prince Charles of Prussia, who was sent
by our court to congratulate the new Czar on his
accession to the throne. He was accompanied by
the Grand Duchess Alexandrine of Mecklenburg-
Schwerin. The Emperor Alexander and his bro-
ther, the Grand Duke Constantine, both dressed in
the Prussian uniform, received their relatives on
the platform of the railroad terminus.
When the King of Prussia received the tele-
graphic news of the death of his brother-in-law he
immediately sent back, as an answer, the following
words from the Apocalypse, addressed to his siste r
the Empress: "Blessed are 'the dead who die in
the Lord." This is probably the --st time that the
telegraph has been used—in at least—to
convey scraps of Scripture.
Accounts from Stockholm state that a naval con-
scription has been ordered for the whole of the
Aland Islands. Ever since these islands were ceded
by Sweden to Russia the inhabitants have been ex-
empted from personal servitude, which, at their
request, was converted hate an annual money pay-
ment. This hitherto unprecedented measure may
therefore be considered another practical proof of
the scarcity of men in the Russian army and navy.

GREECE.

Accounts from the Piraeus, of th© 3d, via Mar-
seilles, announce that M. Mavrocordato has ten-
dered his resignation, which it is said has been ac-
cepted by King Otho. It is to be hoped, for the
sake of Greece, that these statements, and especi-
ally the last, will not be confirmed. Turkish troops
have been concentrated at Monastir. Austria is
said to have announced that she will interfere to
put down any insurrectional movement in Greece.

SPAIN.
MADRID, 15th.—The proposition for a mixed
Senate was rejected yesterday in the Cortes by a
majority of 136 to 69. A Spanish frigate, supposed
to have been formerly a Russian vessel, has been
captured by French steamers in the waters of
Cadiz.

The Opinione of Turin states that a new pro
clamation of MazEini is being circulated at Genoa,
It is addressed to the Piedmontese army, and re•
commends it, though in obscure language, to be•
tray its duty.

The Gazette de Chambery states that General
La Marmora, on receiving the visit of the officers
of the garrison stationed in that town, during a
stay of a few hours which he made there on his
way to Turin, stated it as Lis belief that the Pied-
montese troops would sot out for the Crimea about
the 10th of April.

The Trieste Gazette states that on the 10th the
flags on the Greek vessels in that port appeared
half-mast high, as a mark of mourning on the occa-
sion of a funeral service being performed in the
Greek church for the Emperor Nicholas. In addi-
tion to the Russian Vice-Consul at Trieste, a great
number of Greek subjects wore present.

A Varna correspondent of the Oeslerreichische
Zeitung, writing on the Gth inst., says that Omer
Pacha's army at Eupatoria will eventually be
56,000 strong. Turkish troops continue to be
transported thither from Varna. There are 9,000
men at Schumla. The governor of that place is
now busy in routing out the numerous robber
bands infesting the neighbouring country. A re-
serve force is to be established at Varna, and some
French engineers are planning a fortified camp,
which is to he constructed on the heights corn-
manding the Devia, Lake.

The Fremden Blatt learns that the Piednaontese
corps is to be sent to Asia Minor, to assist in the
defence of Anatolia. It will be landed at Trobi-
zond, and will occupy Erzermn. The King of
Sardinia will inspect the expeditionary troops at
Alessandria, and afterwards go to Spezia. One
thousand mules are being purchased to be sent to
the Crimea. It is said that his Majesty will accom-
pany the Emperor Napoleon to the Crimea. We
learn from Belgrade that 250 Turkish artillerymen
have left there for Rustchuk. Their ultimate
destination is understood to be the Crimea.

Speaking of the condition of the Russian armies
in the Crimea, the Militarisehe Zeitung says that
Bakshi-Sergi now resembles an enormous lazaretto.
Thousands and thousands of sick and wounded
soldiers are quartered in the town. The grand
highway from Perekop to Bakshi-Serai is covered
with ammunition waggons on their way to Sebas-
topol. The number of Russian troops in the penin-
sula is calculated at 170,000 mon.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

BOW-STREET.---A fashionably-dressed foreigner, who
gave the name of Franca 1301 Alatan, was charged be-
fore Mr. Henry with stealing wearing apparel, &c,o,
from dwelling-houses.
Dr. W. J. Collins, of 4(5, Gloucester-road, Regent's-
park, stated that on Friday week the prisoner called at
his residence and inquired for him. He was shown into
a waiting room to which witness at •nce repaired, asking
him what he wanted. lie replied that he had brought
something from Paris, which would be of interest to him
in his profession. Witness replied, " I know nothing
of you, snd must request that you will immediately
leave my house." He (witness) suspected him from the
first moment of seeing him, and believing that he was
one of those persons who had been so repeatedly de-
scribed in the newspapers as visiting gentlemen's houses
for the purpose of robbing them, he kept a sharp eye on
the prisoner, and caw him safe out of the house to pre-
vent the possibility of his :picking up anything in the
hall on Lis way to the door. Shortly after the fellow's
departure, however, he missed his cloth cloak from the
hall, and then he remembered that the prisoner had one
across his arm, when witness found him waiting in the
room, but which he, of course, concluded was his own ;
he could not hare supposed it possible for a man to have
the assurance to steal his coat, and then, without any
attempt to conceal it, coolly wait for an interview with
the owner of the property. This, however, was precisely
what the prisoner did, for when he was taken into cus-
tody on another charge of felony, he was found wearing
the cloak which he had jest previously stolen from
witness.

Tho prisoner sail, in broken English, that it was quite
an accident. He had hung his own cloak on the same
peg, in the hall, as the doctor's, and on taking it down
again must have carried the doctor's with it—because,
to his astonishment after he had left the house, he found
himself in possession of two cloaks instead of one. He
did not like to return it to the doctor's residence for
fear ho should " misbelieve" that the accident was un-
intentional.

Mr. Henry said the prisoner wal quite at liberty to
tell that story to the jury, and if they believed it, they
would, no doubt, acquit him.
A second charge was preferred against the prisoner
by the landlord of the Market Coffez-nouse, James-street,
Covent-gar.len, where he took a bed for the night, but

RUSSIA.

A letter from Vienna, of the 10th, says :—"Late
accounts from St. Petersburg represent that new
regiments are to be sent into the Crimea, that
50,000 men are to be concentrated on the Pruth,
and that the defensive works of Perekop are to be
reinforced. The same accounts say also that a
large park of artillery is to be formed at Warsaw,
which is also probably destined for the Crimea.
The fortifications of Kiew are being actively carried
on, and will soon be terminated."
London, England, 1855-09-17

• THE DANUBE.

A private letter from Silistria, in the Prussian
Correspondence, states that the Turks are actively
employed in repairing the fortifications of that
place and those of Rustchuk, expecting, as they
do, an offensive movement on the part of Russia.
The streets and squares of the fortress and the
banks of the Danube are still covered with balls
and shells of last year's siege. There are about
40,000 Turkish troops at Silistria and 10,000 at
Rustchuk,
