MULDEI?, OF GENERAL BEATSON.

A telegraphic despatch from Constantinople, which
we publish in another column, informs us that the Bashi-
Bazouks' who had been for a long time under the com-
mand of General Beatson, have filled the measure of
tneir iniquities by murdering their general.
We have no certitude of the accuracy of this tele-
graphic message, but we are led to fear that the melan-
choly catastrophe which it so curtly communicates is
but too true. From information that has reached us
from other sources, we are in a position to lay before
our readers the latest authentic intelligence relative to
the v.ild bands under the command of cur unfortunate
countryman. _ _

It will be recollected that, at the outset of the war,
the celebrated French General Yusouf and our General
Beatson undertook the disciplining of the fierce levies
known as the Bashi-Bazouks. General Yusouf, who
had tamed the wild Arabs of the Desert and disciplined
the tribes of Algeria, soon found that all his experience,
his patience, and his firmness were utterly unavailing,
and he gave up the attempt in despair. Our gallant
countryman, however, perseve:.ed, and we had hoped
his endeavours would be crowned with success.

Latterly, a great body of the B ishi-Rizouka have
been encamped under his command on the further shore
of the Dardanelles. Amongst these men, we regret to
say, frequent signs of insubordination were manifest,
and, about a fortnight ago, an act of atrocious violence
was committed, which led to further mischief.

Two officers of the corps were walking with their wives
in the neighbouring c. untry, when a party of Bashi-
nazouks fell upon, and assaulted, and outraged the
ladies. The moment the General heard of this villany,
he ordered the miscreants under arrest. A great portion
of their rascally comradeti, however, sympathised with
them, and, probeeding to the General's house in open
mutiny, struck their yataghans into the ground, and,
piling up combustible materials, threatened, and that in
the most fearful 'earnest, that, unless their comrades
were instantly released from arrest, they would set fire to
the house, and burn the General alive, with his wife and
children. _ _ _

General Beatson had no alternative, and liberated the
men, who, with their comra,ies, paraded about with
every demonstration of triumph, and finally eet out for
Broussa, laying no tender hands upon the property of
the inhabitants, and with apparent intentions of pillag-
ing in every direction.
This was the last thing heard of them. Since that
we receive the sad but too probable news that we pub-
lish in another part of our paper, and which indicates a
too cruel termination to a distinguished and honourable
career.—Morning Post.

THE LAUNCH OF THE MARLBOROUGH.

PORTSMOUTH, Aug. I.—The cheers that greeted the
satisfactory commencement of the launch of this ship
yesterday, were tame as compared with those that rang
through the building-shed at half-past 12 this morning
at the completion of the launch. Probably a thousand
men had been engaged in overcoming the impediment
that bad produced so much disappointment to her Ma-
jesty and the 50,000 or 60,000 of her subjects who had
attended to witness the launch of this great floating bat-
tery ; and it is but fair to say that the exertions of the
men and the officers of the dockyard were of the most
vigorous, hearty, and efficient character. The ship, on
becoming stationary after her partial launch, rested not
on the solidi bed of the dock, but on the continuation of
the ways into the harbour, and which were tempo-
rary and built on piles driven for the occasion, and
which, though sufficiently firm to support a heavy ship
gliding over, and would be partly buoyed up by the
water, were unequal to the task that fell upon them
when the tide dropped, and caused the whole weight of
the Marlborough to rest upon them. It is found to-day
that this was so, and that the piles had sunk beneath
their load. It was fortunate that both rows of the piles
sunk an equal depth, as, had those one one side sunk
deeper than those on the other, hardly any other
result would have been expected than that the ship
would have canted on her broadside. With this con-
tingency in view, it became necessary to take the
promptest measures to float the ship, and these were
successful on the tide again rising to nearly its full
height at half-past 12 this morning. The workmen had
been incessantly at work up to that hour, by torch light,
shoring up the vessel, placing heavy lighters and a
large number of empty casks to float her, and otherwise
preparing for every conceivable contingency. O d

chases having been confined to Canton made descriptions
There have been arrivals at this port of portions of three
chops of congou of last season's crop, which the Chinese
affirm are but harbingers of more to follti.w. With re-
gard to teas, the growth of the present season, it is very
problematical whether any will find their way here ;
doubtless, if the arteries leading hither he thrown open,
they will be brought to this emporium ; but.the reports
circulated by the Chinese. are so couflicting, that an
opinion cannot be formed as to the future course of
events. -

been a failure ; but little reliance can be placed on ac-
counts received from the growing districts, which are
still the scene of disorder.

AUSTRIA.

M. Saleman, the Russian consul, left Vienna on
the 28th for St. Petersburg, being the bearer of
important despatches relative, it is said, to the last
decision of the Germanic Diet.

A letter from Vienna of the 28th ult., in the
Cologne Gazette, says :—" A very warlike order of
the day has been published by the Muschir Ismail
Paella, who commands on the Danube. The Pacha
compliMents the troops on their past conduct, and
promises them approaching victories over the Rus-
sians. Baron de Bourqueney had a long con-
ference with Count Buol yesterday, at which he
read to hima note which he had received from Count
Walewski. M. d'Oubril, attached to the Russian
Legation, also had an interview of the President of
the Council, in which he assured the latter that, in
consequence of the reduction of the Austrian army,
no more troops would be concentrated in Poland,
where only the ordinary garrisons would be kept up.
Most of the regiments, which had been on their
march for Poland from the interior of Russia, have
rezeived orders to march on the southern pro-
vinces."

PARIS, WEDNESDAY EVENING.
The Emperor and Empress will, it is said, take
up their residence at the Chb,teau of Villeneuve.

England.

Prince Napoleon, accompanied by several of the

foreign commissioners, has commenced a series of
visits which ho -7-fop,,ss to umla, hi sueecs3kai tv

The itioniicto publishes a letter addressed by
Lord. Cowley to C)unt Walewski, enclosing a copy
of • a despatch received by Lord Panmure from
General Simpson, expressing that officer's deep
regret at the death of Lieut.-Colonel Vico, attached
as French Commissioner to the head-quarters of
the English army in the Crimea.
....

The Minister of the Interior has addressed a re-
port to the Emperor on the subject of the advance
in the salaries of Prefects, as fixed by the decree
of March 27, 1852, without necessitating their re-
moval from the department, where it is desirable
that they should remain. As that decree fixed an
immediate advance of 10,000 fr. in their salaries,
the large expense, says the report, which would be
entailed on the State would allow it to be carried
into execution onlyin rare instances, and therefore
in order to remedy that inconvenience the Minister
proposes that the increase should be limited to
5,000 fr., to be further augmented to 10,000 fr. after
5 years' further residence in the same department.
The Moniteur contains an Imperial decree carrying
out the recommendations of the report.
The Narval steamer arrived at Toulon on the
31st ult. from the Pirams with Admiral Lebarbier
de Tinan on board. The Canada steamer-frigate
arrived there on the same day, bringing, troops
from Civita Vecchia.

TURKEY.

We have received the Constantinople letters and
journals, of the 23d, brought by the Gange. The
report, mentioned in the accounts by the last mail,
that the object of the visit of Omer Paella to the
Turkish capital was to give the Government some
advice as to the manner of carrying on the war in
Asia, appears to be now confirmed by the fact that
since his arrival he has Leen present at all the
Councils which have been held at the Imperial
Palace, at the Porte, and at the Ministry of War,
where the principal subject under consideration
has been the movements of the Russians on the
coast of Asia and the situation of the Ottoman army
in that quarter. On the 22d, the Generalissimo
and the Turkish Minister of War went to the
English Embassy, where they had a long confer-
ence with Lord Stratford de Redcliffe and General
Vivian, who commands the Turkish contingent,
and on leaving the English Emllessy they went to
visit the camp occupied by these troops. Accord-
ing to letters of the 7th, received from Kars via
Trebizond, the situation of that place is not so pre-
carious as was at first supposed. These letters
state, on the faith of some merchants who had ar-
rived at the latter place, (what we have already
announced as a report by telegraph), that Schamyl
was advancing in force against Tiflis, and that the
Russian General Mourawieff, having been informed
of the fact, had raised the siege of Kars, and
marched with his army to protect Tiflis. The
Bashi-Bazouks still continue in the most complete
state of disorganisation at the Dardanelles, setting
all their officers at defiance, and committing out-
rages and plundering in every direction.

ENCROACHMENTS ON VICTORIA PAHL—The last rei
port of the Select Committee on Public Petitions in-
cludes one from the ratepayers of St. Leonard's, Shore-
ditch, complaining of the enclosure of a considerable
portion of Victoria Park for building purposes, which,
when completed, will increase the nuisance arising from
smoke and lessen the area intended for healthful recrea-
tion, besides diminishing the salubrity of the adjacent
Hospital for Diseases of the Chest. The petitioners state
that, although 290 acres of land were bought, there are
only 250 in the area of the park, leaving 40 acres in the
outskirts for building. purposes. The number of persons
for whose benefit this park was opened amounts to
550,000, and the petitioners earnestly pray that the in-
tended encroachment may be prevented. The
was presented Sir W. Clay, M.P. for the T v_iener
Hamlets. It is signed by Mr. Death, the churehf!!l:_d
of
and chairman of the meeting, and is dated the via'

Westminster.—To Tailors and others.

R. HARDING has received instructions to
Sell, by Auction, at the Marl, TO-MORROW (FRIDAY),
Aug. 3, at 12, the valuable LEASE of PREMISES, No. 35,
Great Marlborough-street, Regent-street, with or without;
the Goodwill of the Business, many years established as a
Tailor's and Outfitter's, of first-rate character. The situation
is undeniable; and the facilities afforded'for carrying on trade
are unexceptionable. An extensive building in the rear pos-
sesses every requisite for advantageously following the above,
but equally suitable for a studio, concert-room, or any other
purpose where light and extent of premises are required. Thu
property is held at a low rent, for a considerable term of
years. The premises may be viewed. Particulars had at th(:
Auction Mart and at the Auctioneer's offices, 25, New Broad.-
street, City.

To Gentlemen's Servants, Coffeehouse-keepers, and Others.
R. HARDING is directed by the Proprietor
to Submit, for Puhlic Competition, at the Auction Mart.
TO-MORROW (FRIDAY), Aug. 3, at 12, the Desirabh
LEASE, nearly 2.0 years -unexpired, at the extremely low
rental of 521. 10s. per annum, of the well-known premises,
No. 4, South Molton-street, Oxford-street, within two doom
of Brook-street, Hanover-square. The business of a coffee.-
house-keeper has been carried on for many years. There itt
an excellent local connection, which a promising couplii
might much increase. The premises may be viewed. Parti•-
onlars obtained on the premise's; of Messrs. -White and'Bor,-
rest, solicitors, Whitehall-place ; and at the offices of tlin
Auctioneer, 25, New Broad-street, City.

THE LAUNCH OF THE MARLBOROUGH.

PORTSMOUTH, Aug. I.—The cheers that greeted the
satisfactory commencement of the launch of this ship
yesterday, were tame as compared with those that rang
through the building-shed at half-past 12 this morning
at the completion of the launch. Probably a thousand
men had been engaged in overcoming the impediment
that had produced so much disappointment to her Ma-
jesty and the 50,000 or 60,000 of her subjects who had
attended to witness the launch of this great floating bat-
tery ; and it is but fair to say that the exertions of the
men and the officers of the dockyard were of the most
vigorous, hearty, and efficient character. The ship, on
becoming stationary after her partial launch, rested not
on the soli' bed of the dock, but on the continuation of
the ways into the harbour, and which were tempo-
rary and built on piles driven for the occasion, and
which, though sufficiently firm to support a heavy ship
gliding over, and would be partly buoyed up by the
water, were unequal to the task that fell upon them
when the tide dropped, and caused the whole weight of
the Marlborough to rest upon them. It is found to-day
that this was so, and that the piles had sunk beneath
their load. It was fortunate that both rows of the piles
sunk an equal depth, as, had those one one side sunk
deeper than those on the other, hardly any other
result would have lAen expected than that the ship
would have canted on her broadside. With this con-
tingency in view, it became necessary to take the,
promptest measures to float the ship, and these were
successful on the tide again rising to nearly its full
height at half-past 12 this morning. The workmen bad
been incessantly at work up to that hour, by torch
light,
shoring up the vessel, placing heavy
lighters he and

observations, thanking the commissioners for the manner
in which they had conducted the inquiry.
Mr. Mitchell then replied, in the course of which he
cont,n4,!ed Lit?tin:-A act= of viok,n..oo on
the part of the popula::e to cause a ri:-)t, ,viii,:h not
the tale t'nl; c.:,;i!sion, He a1,,0 thanked the C,
sinners for the kind and courte,a74 atttntion to hiaiself
and clients in the conducting of the inquiry.
Mr. Chief Commissioner Wortley said that, having
heard the whole of the evidence adduced, and the re-
marks of the gentlemen who had been engaged in the
inquiry, they were all deeply indebted to them for what
they had done. All who had entrusted their complaints
to Mr. Mitchell had had no cause to complain, and Mr.
Ellice had conducted the case of the police with great
forbearance and ability. In consequence of the volume
of evidence, and the duties he and his colleagues bad to
discharge, he was afraid some time must elapse before they
could make a report. Whilst be fully admitted the right
of the people to meet and discuss their grievances, they
must do it in a peaceable manner and unarmed. Al-
though the Parks were public property, they were
so for the purpose only of recreation for the people,
and under certain regulations. The people had no right
to hold meetings there, and act contrary to the regula-
tions referred to.
The inquiry then terminated.

PRUSSIA.

A letter from Berlin states that the Ministers of
France and England, the Marquis de Moustier and
Lord Bloomfield, have obtained leave of absence
from their respective Governments, and are about
to quit that city.
A letter from Berlin of the 29th ult. states that,
according to the most correct calculation, the half
of the loan of 30 millions of thalers voted last year
has been swallowed up by the military expenses
caused by the Eastern question. Up to the end of
the year 1854 the additional expenses caused by the
partial mobilisation amounted to 4,135,724 thalers,
since which there has been expended on the same
account 1,685,000 thalers a-month, which makes
about 10 millions of thalers in six months, without
reckoning other extraordinary expenses. The ca-
valry and artillery are to remain at their present
strength.

Mr. WILLIAMS protested against the doctrine laid
down by the noble lord at the head of the Government,
that the House of Commons had no right to canvass
those questions. (Hear, hear.)
Lord PALMERSTON said he had not stated that—
he had only said it was not a fit question for discussion.
Mr. A. PELLATT thought the present was a case of
great hardship, and if it was consistent with the rules of
the house he would move an address to her Majesty,
that men who bad so much right to receive a reward
from their country had been overlooked, and entreating
her Majesty to take their case into her serious consi-
deration. He thought that the course pursued by the
Government in the present instance was without a pa-
rallel.

Colonel DUNNE thought that the present system of
promotion in the army was very defective, and ought to
be amended. As it at present existed men that were
made corporals would receive less than the common
soldier. _
