THE BALTIC FLEET.

DANTZIC, June B.—The Bulldog, 6, Commander
Alexander C. Gordon, arrived here yesterday after-
noon, with mails from the fleet, having made the
passage from Cronstadt -to this anchorage in 61.
hours—an incredibly short run considering the
dense fogs she encountered on the way. It ap-
pears, however, that although very unusual at this
advanced season of the year, these fogs are still
prevalent in the Baltic.
The whole of the fleet, consisting of 16 line-of-
battle-ships (including three French), six frigates,
and 10 gun-boats, is anchored/ close up to Cron-
stadt, forming a perfect line across the bay from,
shore to shore.
With the view of checking more effectually the
coasting trade, which has of late increased to a very
large extent in the Gulf of Finland, an order was
issued to the fleet, towards the end of last month
(leaving, however, a discretionary power with the
commanding officers), to burn or sink all coasting
vessels captured within certain limits. In pursu-
ance of this order the Magicienne lately intercepted
and destroyed two of these traders, laden with large
blocks of granite, all ready cut, worked, and num-
bered in rotation ; and indeed, judging from the
fact that the number 170 was found on one of the
blocks, it is not improbable that several cargoes of
the same material had previously reached their
destination in safety. From this circumstance it
may be inferred that the Russians are still busily
employed in erecting fortresses on some part of
the coast, the exact locality of which has not, how-
ever, as yet been clearly ascertained. The general
impression is that the new fortifications at Swea-
borg, which we know the Russians commenced
building during the winter months, are now being
brought into a state of completion. •
On Saturday last, Admiral Dundas, accompanied
by Admiral Seymour, embarked at noon ou board
the Merlin surveying steamer, Capt. Sullivan, and
proceeded to reconnoitre Cronstadt. To guard
against a surprise, they were attended on the expe-
dition by the Dragon, Captain H. Stewart, and the
Bulldog, Commander Gordon. Although they went
in quite close to the batteries, and remained there
for nearly three hours, the Russians looked quietly
on during the whole time, apparently with
the most perfect indifference, anti as all the
ships in the harbour were dressed in colours, it is
possibly they were engaged in celebrating some
high festival, or even perhaps doing honour to an
Imperial visitor.
The authorities here have' received notice from
Berlin that Prince Frederick William of Prussia,
only son of his Royal Highness the Prince of
Prussia, intends to honour Dantzic with a visit on
the 20th of this month.

A letter from Lemberg of the 4th, in the Cologne
Gazette, says :—" A large proportion of the Rus-
sian army in Poland has received orders to proceed
southwards, and the Grenadiers are already on
their march to Bessarabia. These troops are in-
tended to replace the losses sustained by the Rus-
sians in the Crimea. Several camps are to be esta-
blished in Bessarabia. The corps which are leav-
ing Poland are to be replaced by fresh troops and
the second levy of Cossacks. Although the state of
Poland has not undergone any legal change, the
ordinary severity of the laws is much relaxed, and
people are allowed to talk a little more freely.
The greatest tranquillity reigns throughout the
country. The measure of freeing the Jews from
military service is attributed to Prince Paskie-
witch."

MARSEILLES, June I.—The park of siege artillery for
the army of the East is at length shipped in the Ameri-
can clippers, Great Republic, Queen of Clippers, Gaunt-
let, and Alleghanean, but they have not yet sailed. The
French steam frigate Eldorado has arrived to tow the
Queen of Clippers. In the meantime she is taking on
board a quantity of gun carriages. The Great Republic is
waiting to receive 400 cavalry horses. Capt. d'Andigne,
of the staff, met with a serious accident when
visiting that gigantic ship on Wednesday last. He fell
from the main deck into the hold, and fractured a leg.
While so much time appears to be lost in the despatch
of those sailing-vessels our British steamers arrive, load,
and sail again for the Crimea.

At'a late review of the Turkish army at Eupatoria by
Omer Pacha, whilst the troops were resting, the gallant
general had a race with Sephia Pacha in sight of the
field. What an excitement would take place were Prince
Albert and the Duke of Cambridge to try their horse-
inanship at the next review in Hyde-park I—United Ser-
vice Gazette.

" GOVERNMENTAL" CONDUCT.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUL

SIR, —The Lords of the Treasury have just committed
a flagrant act of injustice. Clerks to Taxes Commis-
sioners have, as near as may be, worked through, their
entire duties under the income tax for 1854, ending
April last, and because the poundage has become 'in-
creased (by the double duty) those lords have, in the
plenitude of their wisdom, issued an order that they
shall make deduction from the clerks ! Their lordships
may have reckoned without their host, and if I mistake
not will so discover. _ _

When the clerks' poundage (which is but three half-
pence in the pound, and ought to be threepence) was
Tendered more paltry by reduction in the assessed taxes
a year ago, those thinking Lords had not one word to say
about better remuneration to clerks, though their labours
were increased by parties becoming liable to the tax
who were not before.

No wonder, sir, that the penple are daily becoming
more dissatisfied, and call for " Governmental Reform."
—Your obedient servant, •

nini (Genoa), under the title of Una Burke per correzione,
is the sole operatic novelty for the last week on the
other side of the Alps. It was successful on the whole,
but the local journals mention the richezza d'instru-
mentazione in a manner that makes us suspect it to be
unusually noisy. Messrs. Sindaco, Mariani, Zacchini,
and Mme. Adele filled the principal parts.

Phillimore, has been filled up by the appointment of Dr.
Travers Twigs, vicar-general of the Archbishop of Can-
terbury, and recently Professor of Political Economy in
the same University. This appointment, we believe,
bas been invariably held by a distinguished member of.
the College of Advocates, practising in Doctors' Com-
mons, and we are glad to observe that Lord Palmerston
has not departed from the rule on the present occasion.
ROYAL ITALIAN OPERA.—Her Majesty the Queen
honoured the performances at the Royal Italian Opera
with her presence on Saturday evening.. Her Majesty
was accompanied by her Serene Highness the Princess
Adelaide of Hohenlohe ; and Prince Albert joined the

Clothing under the new organisation of the War Depart-
ments. The duties of the Assistant Director-General are
of a purely civil nature, and while the appointment of
Director-General will always, be held by an officer in the
army, that of Assistant Director-General will be occupied
by a civilian, its duties mainly consisting of the conduct
of the correspondence with the contractors and the other
departments. Mr. Ramsay, who has been appointed
Assistant Director-General, has been in the War-offiee
for nine years, and for nearly six years filled the office of
Private Secretary to different Secretaries at, War. He
was also Secretary to the Army Promotion Commission
last year. Major-General Cator retains the office of

THE SUN, LONDON, Ma.NDAY EVENING, JUNE 11 1855

IMPERIAL PARLIAIVIENT.

HOUSE OF COMMONS--(THIS DAN).
The house 'met •at twelve o'clock, when the Speaker,
having recove red from his late indisposition, took the
chair.
OATHS AND QUALIFICATIONS OF MEMBERS.
The SPE AItER thanked the house for their kindness
during his recent illness, and remarked he had the satis-
faction of knowing that public business had not
been impeded by his absence. He had to call the
attention of the house to the circumstance of two
members having taken the oaths and their seats
during his absence. That was required by the
act to be done within certain hours with the Speaker
in the chair, and doubts had been expressed
whether it was absblutely necessary the Speaker should
be in the chair at the time or any other person acting
for him. No doubt the Legislature intended the oaths
and the seats should be taken in the most public and
solemn manner possible when the hound was not in com-
mittee. Doubts having been suggested respecting the
taking the oaths and seats by the two hon. members
alluded to, it would be well for the house to consider
the matter, because although these gentlemen had
taken the oaths and done all that was necessary on
their parts they were placed in an inconvenient position,
unless some legislative enactment was passed to prevent
an action from being brought against them for sitting
and voting in the house without having properly taken
their oaths and seats. (Hear, hear.)
Sir G. GREY, after expressing his regret for Mr.
Speaker's temporary absence, expressed the gratification
he and the house felt at his being able to resume his seat
and proceed with the discharge of those duties he had so
ably discharged with so much satisfaction to the house,
and advantage to the public interest. (Hear, hear.)
With reference to the question alluded to by the
Speaker, he (Sir G. Grey) having had his attention pri-
vately called to the matter, he had conferred with se-
veral gentlemen learned in the law and others compe-
tent from their experience in the house to form an
opinion thereon, and they unanimously concurrel in
the doubt expressed by the Speaker, and that that doubt
ought not to remain, but proceedings taken to prevent
it. The gentlemen alluded to were desired to come to the
table of the house, and were sworn with the sanction
of the house with that publicity which no doubt the act
intended, and had thereby been completely obtained.
He bad thought it better to prepare a bill which he
hoped would meet with the concurrence of all
hon, members, and would remove all doubts and make
valid what had been done in that house during the
Speaker's temporary illness. (Hear.)
Mr. WALPOLE, and other hon. members having
expressed their gratification at the recovery of the
Speaker, and their assent to the proposal of the Home
Secretary, leave was given to introduce the bill.
STANDING ORDERS.—WESTMINSTER.
(PRIVATE) LAND BILL.
Mr. FITZROY called the attention of the house to
the standing order with reference to this bill. The bill
had been opposed in committee, and sent back to him
as chairman of Ways and Means ; and considering it to
be analogous to one now before another committee, he
moved that the Westminster (Private) Land Bill be re-
ferred to the committee of G.roup P, for them to proceed
with it as they thought proper.
The following bills were read a third time :—Hyde
Gas (No. 3), Bristol and Exeter Railway, Liverpool
Corporation Water, East of Fife Railway, Fife and Kin-
ross Railway, Hartlepool Pier and Port, Leek Improve-
ment, Mid Kent and North Kent Railway, North
Yorkshire and Cleveland Railway, Scinde Railway,
and Stockport, Disley, and Whaley Bridge Railway.
Petitions were presented from Edinburgh against the
bill for regulating the Court of Session, and one for the
re-establishment of the office of Secretary of State for
Scotland ; from Dublin, for the better observance of the
Sabbath.

METROPOLIS LOCAL MANAGEMENT BILL.
The house then went into committee on this bill, com-
mencing at clause 48, at which point.the further discus-
sion of the bill had been adjourned on the 22d of May.
Clauses up to 58 were agreed to after some verbal
alterations.

[IIEFT SITTING.]

LAW INTELLIGENCE (THIS DAY).

EXCHEWER CHAMBER.

;Before Mr. Baron Alderson and a Common Jury,)

HICKINBOTSAM V. HICKINBOTHAN.

This was an action brought by the plaintiff against the
defendant, his mother, to recover an annuity o f 1001.
Mr. Chambers, Q.C., and Mr. Petersdorf, were for
the plaintiff, and Mr. Sergeant Wilkins and Mr. T.
Chambers for the defendant,

The case, after proceeding for a short time, was agreed
to be referred by consent of the counsel on both sides.

COURT OF EXCHEQUER.
(Sittings in Banco.)
(Before the Lord Chief Baron and Barons Parke, Platt,
and Martin.)
MACDONALD V. HOLLISTER.
Mr. Pantin moved for an attachment of a legacy un-
der the Common Law Procedure Act 1854. The legacy,
the learned counsel said, was for 501., and the executors
were ready and willing, and, is fact, had promised to pay
it over. He put it to the Cart whether, under such
circumstances, an action would not lie ?
The Court was of opinion that the executors must be
bound by their promise ; and, besides, a legacy could not
be attached. The application must therefore be refused.
Refused accordingly.

BAIL COURT.
(Before Mr. Justioe Wighttrian.)
IN RE --, AN ATTORNEY.

Mr. Macristy moved for a rule calling on an attorney
of the Court to show cause why his name should not be
struck off the rolls. The application was made on be-
half of a person named Dodd, tenant to a Mr. Lamb.
On the Ist of May he received an application from his
landlord's solicitors for compensation or an 'alleged
damage on the farm, on which he went and consulted
the attorney in question, paying him 10s.f or his advice.
The attorney advised him to raise 201., bring it to him,
and authorise him to compromiae the matter for a sum
not exeeedipg that amount. Dodd obtained the money,
handed it over to the attorney. and shortly after called
on him to know the result, when the attorney informed
him he had compromised it by the payment of 171., and
that he was to call in a day or two, by which time he
would have the receipt signed by the landlord,
and hand it over to him. Re accordingly called,
but was put off with an excuse on that and sub-
sequent occasions. He afterwards called on
on the landlord's attorneys and fcamd nothing had been
paid. The attorney in question had been called on to
explain his conduct, which had been unsatisfactory.
Mr. Justice Wightwan thought it would be better, in
the present instance, for a rule to issue calling on the
attorney to explain why he had not paid the money, and
answer the question in the affidavits.
Rule issued accordingly.

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH.
(Sittings in Banco )
IN RE W. R. BARBER.
The arguments in this case lasted the whole of Satur-
day, and were resumed this morning by Sir Fitzroy
Kelly in support of the rule, but had not concluded
when our despatch was forwarded.

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT --
(TIIIS DAY).

The June session of the above Court was opened this
morning, with the usual formalities, by the Right Hon.
T. S. Wortley, M.P. (the Recorder), Aldermen Salo.
mons, Hunter, Farncombe, and Wire, Mr. Under Sheriff
Farrer, Mr. Under Sheriff Orosley, &c.
The first edition of the calandar contains the names of
98 prisoners. _

The Recorder made a very brieff address to the grand
jury, and he stated that he was happy to inform them
that none of the cases in the calendar appeared to lee of
extraordinary gravity, or to involve any legal difficulty ;
he, therefore, at once dismissed them to the performance
of their duties.

Upon the application of Sergeant Wilkins, who was
retained for the prosecution, the trial of Mr. Bevan,
the late secretary of the Deposit Assurance Company,
upon charges of embezzlement and fraud, was postponed
to Thursday morning.

LITER AT U RE.

Land, Labour, and Gold. By William Howitt.
2 vols. Longman.
The record of Mr. Howitt's travelling experi-
ences in so far distant a colony will naturally ex-
cite some curiosity. His stay in Australia, though
not very extended, has enabled him to form an
opinion on the modes of action and principles of
government by which the colony is ruled. His
work is not so much a narrative of personal adven-
tures, or an entertaining description of life and
manners, as a portraiture of the present condition
of the inhabitants, with respect to the organisation
of their government and the general aspect of social
affairs. Many disputes between the landowners
and the people and the diggers and the officials are
explained and commented on with moderation and
impartiality. The author professes to have no per-
sonal interest in the question, and says that his
purpose has been merely to state, fully and fairly,
what came under his notice. The great dispute
and annoyance which is productive of many evil
results arises from the restrictions placed on the
sale of land. This mistaken system causes a species
of auction among the claimants, in which exorbi-
tant prices aro paid for a few acres. The following
extract will give some idea of the evils attending
this method :
"It is amazing to what a price this peddling and wicked
system has forced up land round' Melbourne. We think
1,0001. or 2,030/. per acre near London high, but here
it fetches from 4,0001. to 6,003/. ! Houses are fre-
quently pointed out to me in the outskirts, as having
recently been sold, with a garden, for 10,0001. cr
12,0001., which in the finest suburbs of London would
not fetch above 2,0001. Little houses in the town which
in London, in good streets, would let for 401. a-year, here
let for 4001. My brother has built two good homes near
his own, which would not let in London for more than 701.
a-year each,. or 1501. together ;he lets the two for 1,2001.
And there is a single house near, worth in London or its
environs perhaps 1201. a-year, for which the modest sum
of 2,0001. a-year is asked l—a sum that would purchase it
at home."
These difficulties arising from the sale of lands are
frequently touched upon throughout the volumes,
being one of the chief causes of discontent, and the
origin of much evil. Another instance of mis-
management is the neglected state of the roads.
In some places large pits were left without any
warning or protection for the belated traveller to
walk into. In others the diggers are allowed to
excavate underneath them.
"I have alluded, a little while ago, to the strange dis-
regard of human life exhibited by these Commissioners
almost universally. On every digger's licence there stands
the strict prohibition of sinking holes upon any road, or of
cutting up the roads through the diggings iu any manner.
This precaution is not only necessary for the preservation
of the roads, but far more so for that of human life. But
the regulation is almost totally disregarded, and wherever
gold is to be got the diggers cut up the roads without the
slightest regard to either the convenience of the public or
its safety. You see the roads through the diggings entirely
undermined, cut up, and obstructed, and the unfortunate
draymen, and all who have to travel through them, seek-
ing in bewilderment to find a passage over the heaps and
hollows.
" Yet all this is witnessed by the Commissioners, police,
and magistrates, with the most perpetual and uninterrupted
serenity. No effort is made to curb the deadly nuisance,
no precautions are used to fence off or close up those open
gulfs in the most public ways. The apathy appears to
pervade the whole of the gold fields and the whole body
of authorities ; human life is a thing that they do not seem
to attach the slightest value to; and I do not recollect a
single exception to this singular insensibility, save in the
person of Mr. Hood, at the Nine Mile Creek, Ovens Dig-
gings. I there beheld, and beheld with wonder, stern de-
nunciations of the practice, and menaces of the most rigid
punishment of it, placarded everywhere by that gentleman.
" The most flagrant instances of this culpable neglect,
however, appeared to me those at Ballarat and Creswick's
Creek, because the holes there ranged from 80 to 160 feet
deep ; and numbers of these holes, when deserted, stood
gaping without any defence, to receive any one who passed.
I shall not soon forget the manner in which we had to fight
our way through Ballarat amongst these holes, and over
monstrous heaps of clay, the main road being cut up for
miles.

-- -
Ralf of of people. He sees wine and dairy produce, poultry
and fish, and all that man can create or desire, rushing
along with a velocity to the cities, as if they were going to
eat and not to be eaten. A most magnificent scene, yield.
ing a return of 800,0001. yearly. A magnificent scene!
but rather of the future than of to-day. Some day such
august machinery will be in motion, resounding through
the wilderness—; wilderness no longer—from Lake Alex•
andrina to Sydney Cove.

" But still more frightful were the pits in the highway
through that side of Creswick's Creek leading out towards
Ballarat. In that highway there were numbers of holes,
80 feet deep, totally unprotected even by the ordinary heap
of clay and gravel round them. The dirt had been sho-
velled to the side of the road, so that along the edges of
the highways, on the part where foot-passengers generally
walk, stood these gaping gulfs, one after another, with
nothing in the world to give warning of them in the dal k,
or to prevent strangers plunging into them. They wore
deserted, and there can be no doubt, that if they were now
descended into, bodies would be found in them, if they
do not lie there buried under heaps of earth that have
fallen from the sides as they caved in.
" The slightest thing done might hive guarded against
smell horrible catastrophes as must inevitably occur, and
may yet never be beard of. If it were too much trouble
to prevent them being made, or having been made to
fence them off with post cr rail, a huge branch thrust into
the mouths of these pits would suffice to make them pal-
pable to approachers ; as it is, I have never seen in any
other country on the face of the earth such awful man-
traps in the public highway, nor could have supposed such
possible, and vet I was brought up in a country of mines
and coal pits.''
The great vice in this and the neighbourin colonies
is intemperance. The consumption of spirits is
frightful. In speaking of New South Wales, the
writer observes :
"The consumption of spirits, though large, bears no
proportion to that of Victoria. In 1853, the duty amounted
to 193,239,. while that of Victoria, for about the same
population, amounted to upwards of 600,0001. ! Tho
duty on wine in New South Wales for 1853, was 32,2961.;
and of ale and beer, 8,915/.: total, 234,440/. !—which is
estimated to make, though so far inferior to the quantity
drank in Victoria, upwards of 31 gallons of spirits, of 6
gallons malt liquor, and 2i gallons of wine, to every man,
woman, and child in the colony. There is wide room for
reform even here, and the soberer classes are extremely
anxious to effect it, if they knew how."
As might be expected from the large number of
convicts, as well as from the doubtful characters
who are self exiled, some of the inhabit-
ants of the towns are not remarkable for
honesty. During his sojourn at Melbourne, the
author writes—
" Everybody ought to calculate that the fortnight he
will probably be detained here will cost him as much as
the Whole voyage, and make his arrangements accord-
ingly ; besides which, without the strictest watchfulness
on his part, his luggage will be plundered ; for the thieves
proper are a very active class of gentry here. One of our
fellow passengers hail his boxes regularly gutted; and we
ourselves bad our mining boots and other boots and shoes
stolen. The mining boots are indispensable to us, and
cannot be replaced here at less than 9/. per pair, of their
quality. Last night the expert thieves which England
has transported to these regions, and who have flocked
hither from Sydney and Van Diemen's Land, and who are
every day exercising their conveyancing talents, robbed
the stable-yard of a gentleman just by. They took his
horse, his harness, and stripped the premises of most valu-
able booty, the groom sleeping in the room adjoining the
stable all the time. The police here are supposed to con-
sist largely of these very thieves. In fact, two policemen
the other day were convicted of robbery.
" But the one great principle of the colony is the Dutch-
man's maxim :—` Get honestly, if you can ; but at all
events get !' People avow the principle. They come
here, in fact, as they go to India, to make fortunes, and
then—' go home.' That is'the phrase. Everybody talks
of England as home. They are all going home some day.
This and that person are selling their property, and going
home. Others are going home for a visit ; but in any case
it is towards home that their thoughts tend. Hence so
little is done for the colony, this splendid colony ! Every
one thinks of himself ; there is no patriotism, because no
man looks upon this country as his home. All are in a
sort of temporary exile,—the servants of mammon, that
they may spend ' golden earning at home."
In his description of the natural curiosities of the
country he gives an extended account of the trees
and shrubs, of which there are a great variety, and
some of a most deadly and poisonous nature. In
his concluding remarks, the author reminds us of
Campbell's beautiful poem on the departure of the
emigrants to Australia, which was then a puce
little known or thought of. In tracing the future
greatness of the unknown and deserted region, he
exclaims--

" Delightful land ! in wildness ev'n benign,
The glorious past is ours, the future thine !
As in a cradled Hercules, we trace
The lines of empire in thine infant face.
What spacious cities with their spires shall gleam,
Where now the panther laps a lonely stream,
And all but brute or reptile life is dumb.
Land of the free ! thy kingdom is to come."
And again, while alluding to the feelings of the
emigrant's children, he says in words that convey
exactly the same idea as Mr. Howitt's—
" Not a pang that England's name imparts
Shall touch a fibre of his children's hearts.
How many a name to us uncouthly wild
Shall thrill that region's patriotic child,
And bring us sweet thoughts o'er his bosom's ehorde
As aught that's named in song to us affords."
Though the record of these experiences are less
among the " kangaroos and flowers" of the quiet
Country homes than the riots and disturbances of
the diggings, and the competition and bustle of
the towns, there is no less reason to foretel the
future greatness of our Australasian colonies from
its narrative of maladministration, vice, and dis-
cord than from the lofty ideas and eloquent words
of the poet. At present all is chaos and confu-
sion, but another generation may behold a very
different scene. The following extract from the
concluding remarks above referred to will show
some of thepossibilities the author contemplates :

" England, in fact, is here re-producing herself on a
larger scale ; but the immigrants of to-day only feel the
tumblings and rushings together of the yet unexplicated
chaos. To us this is a strange land, to the next generation
it will b 3 the nativaland. Born, therefore, to love it, they
will push on its growth to greatness. The sons and daughters
of the soil will grow up amid all the endearing associations
of a mother country. To them the inverted seasons will
possess no inversion. To them the gum-tree and the
wattle will assume the place of the oak and the elm. The
warbling crow and the lau,lhing jackass will be their
Iblackbir and hereditary rook. Ta them the smooth out-
lines of the Australian landscape will appear as charming
as to us the more abrupt and picturesque scenery of the
northern hemisphere. New interests, new histories, and
new hopes will surround them with the genuine charms
of existence. They are the after generations who will
feel the comforts and enjoy the glories of the advancing
creation of an austral world. In their bands, and by the
vigour of their genius, Australia in its totality will rapidly,
and by the clear design of Provilence, advance into one

" Therefore, while gazing down this glorious vista of
progressing certainties, let us cordially cry Advance Ans.
tralia ! ' and so treat her in her infancy that she shall re-
member us with grateful affection in the power and
splendour of her maturity."

"New discoveries will open up immense regions where
the grazier, the agriculturist, and the miner will alike
find fresh treasures and fresh homes. The navigation of
the Murray opens up at once, as it wore, a whole king-
dom of territory, and bids the squatter boldly advance
into the wilderness, promising to carry down his wool and
his cattle, and to carry up all that he needs. Nay, wonder-
ful visions, thereupon, of mighty railroads stretching from
Adelaide, through Victoria and New South Wales, to
Sydney itself, rise before the imagination of my old friend
Judge Boothby, and he bravely asks no less than twenty-
one millions sterling to construct these magnificent works,
with all their necessary docks and stations ; to be refunded
out of the sale of lands and the profits of its traffic. Re
