THE ROYAL TRAIN AT DARLINGTON.

their body, Mr. H. Pease, the late visitor to the Court i
of St. Petersburg, having,as president of the Darlington
Mechanics' Institute, been deputed to present his Reyal
Highness Prince Albert with an address. The circum-
stances will be best gathered from the following :
" May it please your Royal Highness,—We, the Chair-
man and Committee of the Darlington Polytechnic Exhi-
bition—one of the main objects of which is the liquida-
tion of a debt of 8001. on the building of the mechanics'

with the respect that is due to one who has at all times
made hie exalted position instrumental in forwarding the
blessings of education, to thank you for the patronage you
have condescended to afford us, by the loan of a model of
the Fairy, the elegance and completeness of which have
called forth the admiration of all who have examined it.
During the six weeks in which the exhibition has been
opened, its educational objects have been supported by the
native talent of our town in lectures and music; and the
constant attendance of all classes of her Majesty's 'subjects
has testified their appreciation of the means adopted for
instruction and amusement. The catalogue which accom-
panies this address will show your Royal Highness the cha-
racter of the exhibition. This being the town whence
(through the far-seeing intelligence and steady perseverance
system of a few individuals, some of whom still live to see the
effect and rea the reward labours),owfhtichheihrassiead practically
sprang that of railway' net-
work over the world, developing the resources of the earth,
anti binding nations together for the interchange of mutual
interests, the undersigned have a pride in introducing to
your notice Darlington and its inhabitant?, to whose in-
struction and pleasure your Royal Highness has deigned to
contribute. With a sincere desire that the journey on
which we greet your Royal Highness may be safe and
prosperous, we take the opportunity of expressing for the

Kertch for Taman with 10 gun-boats, an aviso,
and a Steamer.
On I,rriving off Fanagoria he threw some shells
into tile redoubt, and proceeded to disembark at
about mile from the fort.
During this interval the Russians abandoned
the plaice, and the Allies took possession of it in
the presence of a force of cavalry from GOO to 800
strong, which retired immediately a few shells
were thrown among them.

THE BRITISH EXPEDITION.
(From the Times' Correspondent.)

CAMP BEFORE SEBASTOPOL, OCT. 5.

The expedition seems unsettled, and will assur-
edly sail this week unless the weather should turn
out very unfavourable. The Light (not the Hus-
sar) Brigade of Cavalry have received orders to
hold themselves in readiness to embark, and it is
believed they are going to Eupatoria. Our desti-
nation is kept as close as possible. I am almost
afraid to say where I think we are going to, but
with much deference suggest that it is intended as
a feeler towards Perekop and Nicholaieff.
The following is the distribution of the forces of
the expedition to be embarked under Brigadier-
General Hon. A. Spencer :
Ship. Regiment. Officers. Men. Horses.
H.M.S. Royal Albert l7th Regiment 28 756 ...

From that distribution some alterations and
deviations will no doubt be effected—some addi-
tions to the ships, some few mistakes perhaps. But
at present the men are all embarked, and every-
thing is ready for the departure of the troops.
The mixed Commission which has been sitting in
Sebastopol to divide and value the warlike stores
and provisions abandoned by the enemy in their
retreat from the place, has combined the functions
of the three infernal Judges with great skill, and

* 15. tons of stores, 4c. 6 gnus, 6 wag ;0110. ;15 carts,

has been by turns Minos,-lEacus, and Rhadaman-
thus—for, although it certainly has condemned no
one to death, it has consigned many worthless
bodies of materiel to destruction.

Anglo-French Commission sitting in Sebastopol :

prisoners to imprisonment in a fortress ; eleven to
simple banishment ; and the rest have been ac-

" TRIESTE, 16th.—Accounts have been received
from Athens to the 12th. The fete of King Otho
was celebrated in a very brilliant manner. The
new ministry has published its programme. Its
principal points are—fidelity to the King ; execu-
tion of all obligation towards foreign powers ;
maintenance of strict neutrality—solicitude for the
public safety, and reform in all the branches of the
administration."

MADRID, 16th.—The coalition which was re-
cently formed between the Ultra-Progressistas and
the Democrats, in order to carry on a systematic
opposition to the Ministry, is dissolved. M. Bruil,
the Minister of Finance, remains at his post. The
cholera goes on increasing. The Government has
applied to the Cortes for authorisation to grant a
loan of 66 millions of reals to the Ebro Company.
The Emperor and the Duke de Brabant left St.
Cloud at one o'clock yesterday afternoon, and pro-
ceeded to St. Vincennes. After visiting the chapel
and the Salle d'Armes, his Majesty and the Prince
went to the Polygon, where firing-practice from
rifles, cannon, and mortars, was executed. The
august visitors afterwards went to the Fort de la
Faisanderie, and after being present at the exer-
cises of the pupils of the Gymnastic School, re-
turned to St. Cloud at half-past six. During the
absence of the Emperor and the Duke, the DucheLs
de Brabant, accompanied by the Prince and Prin-
cess de Chimay, drove through various parts of
Paris. In the evening, the artistes of the Palais
Royal performed at St. Cloud Les Premieres Armes
de Richelieu, and La Rue de la Lune.
BOURSE, October 17, Two o'clock.—The Threes
opened at 65f. 45c., but this price could not be
maintained, and they are now at 65f. 20c. Mobi-
lier which had improved to 1,290 have receded
to 1,270. Railway Shares, which had opened with
a rally of sf. and 10f., have returned to yesterday's
prices. It has been announced that the Bank of
England and the Bank of France have entered into
a financial treaty, in order to avoid in future the
monetary difficulties which have taken place
during the last fortnight between these two esta-
blishments.

Half-past Three.—A complete panic was caused
in Rente at the close of the market, by a report
that the Treasury had authorised the discount of
the titles of the last loan, which could not be dis-
counted until now. The following are the last
quotations :
