THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING) JANUARY 17, 1855.

CALCUTTA COMMERCIAL.

We continuo to report a bettor business in exports so far
as linseed, rise, jute, and saltpetre are concerned, which
have been in improved demand, and consequently higher
prices have been paid. In indigo we have heard of nothing
with the exception of a small public sale, consisting of last
year's remains, of which a portion only was sold. In raw
silks also little has been done, though better rates we
think might be got for good qualities, if there were any ix
the market. All other goods remain in the same position
as reported last.
The steamer Shanghai arrived on the 30th ult., with
dates from Hong Kong to the 14th, Singapore 22d, and
Penang 21th ult. She brings advice. from Shanghai to the
4th ult. Bengal opium had declined to $255, owing to
heavy supplies and limited demand. Exchange on Loudon
down to Gs. 4d. to Gs. 5d , and on Calcutta 8... 320 to '322
per 100 dols. At Canton the price of opium had been
forced. up by gambling to 3721 dolt. Patna, and 380 dole.
Bemires, with an upward tendency. Saltpetre was in great
demand, the market being quite bare, and as high as 14
dole. per picul had been offered. Exchanges on London at
Canton 4s. 9c1., and on Calcutta Es. 239 to 240 per 100
dollars.

Our import market continues very dull, the demand be-
ing rather limited, and dealers keeping back in the expec-
tation of obtaining their wants on more favourable terms,
owing to the heavy supplies now coming into the market.
All descriptions, with the exception of one or two staples,
have partially declined in value.
The increasing tightness of the money market, noticed
previously, indueed the directors of the Bank of Bengal at
their last meeting on Thursday to raise their rates of in-
terest 1 per cent. all round. In Government Securities a
few transactions have taken place at previous roles ; there
is little speculation going on in the bazaar.
EXCHANGE has been gradually advancing, Bank Bills at
six months' sight having sold at 21., and documents at
2s. O'd. to 2a. 04d. A good number of bills received by
the steamer Shanghai from China have been thrown into
the market.

FREIGHTS continue in almost the same positions as last
week; in some instances slightly advanced rates were
paid.
INDIGO.-1t a pahlic sale held on the 27th ult., about
150 chests of inferior description were brought forward,
and a portion sold at Rs. 40 to 90 per maund, the rest
having been bought in.

THE FOLEY-PLACE TRAGEDY.

ADJOURNED INQUEST.-(THIS DAY.)

This morning, at ten o'clock, Mr. Wakley resumed
(at the Board-room of the Middlesex Hospital) the ad-
journed inquest open the body of Mr. Lambert, who
was murdered on the morning of Sunday, the 7th of
January, at his residence in Foley-place, by Luigi Bara-
nelli, now an inmate of this hospital. The first witness
called was

Mr. Chambers Vigars, one of the house surgeons of
the Middlesex Hospital. He said, I have a patient
named Baranelli under my care in Latham's ward.
When I was first called to him, upon Sunday week, he
was quite'sensible, and had a wound in the right cheek.
It had been made by a bullet. The skin was blackened
round where the wound was, and the hair had boen
singed.

Coroner—What state is he in now ?

Mr. Vigars—lle is in a state tending to recovery.

Coroner—ls he in a state to make any acknowledg-
ment of what has taken place, or to bear the excitement
which might be caused from the present inquiry being
proceeded with.

Mr. Vigars—He is composed now, but scarcely in a
fit state to bear any excitement. He has been delirious
until within the last three days.

Coroner—Would you advise that any examination
should now take place ?

Mr. Vigarz—No ; certainly not.
Coroner—Can you say when he is likely to be in a fit
state for this inquiry to be proceeded with ?
Mr. Vigars—l cannot with any degree of certainty. I
should say not by this day week.

Mr. Burford Norman, the medical gentleman in air
tendance upon the woman, who passes by the name of
Lambert, was next called in and examined as to her con-
dition. He said that he was called to the house in
Foley-place upon the morning of the murder, and there
saw a woman who passed as Mrs. Lambert. She had a
wound through the right fore-arm, and a corresponding
one in the chest—both caused by a pistol-bullet, which
had passed into her body. This gentleman then went
on to detail the condition his patieht was in ; showing,
that although there were symptoms of her recovery, she
was wholly incapable of bearing the excitement of say
exam i nation.

After some remarks from the coroner, the inquiry was

again adjourned.

Although every inquiry has been made by the
police, and particularly-by the detective, Smith, all at-
tempts to discover the right name of the Woman lambert
or her connections has proved unavailing, and the same with
regard to the woman Williamson, who, it is said, and with
some apparent degree of truth, is enciente by the mur-
derer. With the exception of the woman 'Williamson
no one has called to see the murderer. Several
Italians have been making inquiries, but nonq seem to
be at all acquainted with him, and from what was told
to our reporter this day by two foreigners who were
having a comrnuuication'with the police, it would appear
that, excepting the child which has been alluded to as
being at nurse down in Kent, the unhappy man has not
any relative or friends in this country.

STORES, &c., FOR THE CRIMEA.

500,0001b5. of preservo boiled beef, packed in tin
cases, are now being sent out t• the Crimea for the use
of the troops.
Government are about to despatch a portion of the
London Fire Brigade to Constantinople, with the neces-
sary apparatus, to protect the hospital at Scutari from
fire.

Mr. Edgar Swan, of the engineering staff of Messrs.
Betts, Peto, and Brassey, left London on Monday even-
ing for Dover, overland for the Crimea.
The Loire, screw, hired by the Messrs. Crockford to
convey goods and provisions to the Black Sea, could
not, as intended, get away from the Southampton docks
yesterday. The delay was caused by the overcrowded
state of the ship, there being no room to stow a quan-
tity of planking which is to be taken out for the pur-
pose of erecting a large store in which to place her
cargo upon its arrival at the Crimea. , A quantity of
coals having been removed, the difficulty was over-
come, and it is the intention to despatch her to sea
to-day, if practicable.

The Coriolanus, hired sailing transport, for the con-
veyance of French huts to the Crimea, still remains in
the river, her captain not being able to !muster a suffi-
cient crew to put to sea. Every exertion is being used
to procure hands, and it is hoped she will shortly get
away.

The Lady Jocelyn (screw) and the Swiftsure (sailing)
transports, chartered by the French Government for the
conveyance of huts, are continuing to receive large
numbers on board, and great credit is due to those to
whom the superintendence of the shipping is intrusted
for the speedy manner in which the huts are being dis-
posed of.

The Rajah (screw transport) Peninsular and Oriental
Company's steam-ship, received her number (181) yester-
day morning. Captain Byrne has been appointed to
this vessel, vice Captain Evans, removed to the Alma,
now fitting at Black wall.

Yesterday the duties in the Storekeeper'a Department
in the Tower became so exceedingly arduous that nearly
100 extra labourers were employed, exclusive of all the
soldiers who could be spared from military duty, to de-
liver military and warlike stores, and ship them on board
lighters and other craft for conveyance to Woolwich,
Sheerness, and Portsmouth for the Crimea. The stores
consisted of fur and other warm clothing, water-tight
cow-hide boots, greatcoats and blankets, horse clothing,
Minie rifles and rifled carbines, pistols, sabres, and cut-
lasses. Notwithstanding the great exertions of the
Board of Ordnance, it is not expected that the whole of
the fur clothing can be despatched to the. Crimes before
the latter part of the ensuing week..

AUSTRIA.

Our latest advices from Vienna state :—Though
the news of the re-entrance of the Russians into
the Dobrudscha can hardly be called official its
correctness cannot be doubted. It is uncertain
whether 10,000 or 15,000 Russians have crossed
the river, and no one seems to know how many
Turks have been put to the sword. According to
one account Tultcha has been taken by the Rus
sians ; according to another, not only Tultcha but
Matschiu has fallen into their hands. The Rus
sian Government is extremely desirous that hosti-
lities should be suspended while the negotiations
for peace are going on, in order if possible to save
Sebastopol from its impending fate, and it flatters
itself that the present unexpected inroad into the
so imperfectly defended Dobrudscha will induce the
Allies to consent to an armistice. The Russians
are astute, but they have probably deceived theni-
selves in this matter. Placed as the Austrians now
are in Wallachia, the Dobrudscha, is a kind of
military mousetrap, and the Russians dare not
venture beyond its entrance. Since the treaty of
December was signed, the Cossacks have repeatedly
made forays on the right bank of the Pruth, that
is in Moldavia, and Count Coronini, the Austrian
Commander in that province, who possesses his
Majesty's confidence, and is a thorough soldier,
reported the circumstance to Vienna, instead of
taking the law into his own hands, as would have
been the case if the treaty had been fulfilled to the
letter.

THE RUSSIAN PRISONERS AT LEWES.—In consequence
of the duties of the pensioners •n guard over the pri-
soners of war being considered too arduous, an applica-
tion for an additional number of men was made to tie
proper authorities, and during the past week a rein-
forcement of six privates from the Brighton staff and one
serjeant from Portsmouth has arrived. The total num-
ber of pensioners now on guard is 36. The wardsmen
in the prison have recently bees supplied with a uniform
dress made of blue cloth, and present quite a military
appearance. The inspector is attired in the suit of an
undress military officer, and the serjeants have gold lace
around their hats, with the crown, shamrock, rose, and
thistle tastefully worked on the collars of their coats. A

FRANCE.

Lord. John Russell had a long private interview
with the Emperor on Sunday afternoon. For some
time they walked arm in arm together in the re-
served
.gardens of the Tuileries, and their appear-
ance ati racted a crowd of promenaders to the points
where a view could be obtained of the two great
persona: ges. Lord and Lady John Russell left
Paris fo r London on Monday morning.

The I emperor, on Saturday, visited the Exhibi-
tion P alace. His Majesty was accompanied by
the M mister of State, General de Cott., his
aide-de i-eamp, and M. de Valebregue, one of
his eciv.erries. The Emperor was received by
MM. <I e Rouville, Ardouin, and Ricardo, direc-
tors 01 f the company which has erected the
buildir tg, and M. Veil, the architect, and the
builde rs. After having attentively examined
every part of the palace, his Majesty complimented
the a dministration on the advanced state of the
work: i. The Emperor afterwards visited the Cercle
Live rial, established at the Hotel de la Reyniere,
at tb e entrance of the Champs Elysees, and went
throe ugh the different apartments. The Baron de
Cr oi iseilhes, Admiral Cecille, and the Viscount de
Fla marens had the honour of receiving his Majesty
ar Lci conducting him through the establishment.
The galleries for the reception of works of art
in tended to be exhibited at the Great Exhibition of
V 355 are opened from this day, and artists can now
fc 'rwa rd their works.
111, . Bineau, the Minister of the Finances, has
be en removed to the Hyeres Islands, in the hope
that the;r mild climate may improve his health.
'Very little hope is entertained of his recovery.
Th e accession of Piedmont to the alliance of the
West ern Powers against Russia gives great satis-
factic ,n here, and it is confidently believed that the
?;xarc tpie will be followed by some of the other
Stab )s of Europe, which have hitherto held back.
'V ie Moniteur publishes a return of the receipts
of -t; he direct revenues and taxes for the year 185 t,
tog ether with a comparative return for the two
previous years. Tho total amount of direct taxes
for 1854 amounts to 847,260,000 f.
1' a is said that the total subscriptions to the na-
tio- aal loan amount to upwards of 1,700,000,000 f.,
an, i tiwt the subscriptions in sums not exceeding
50( )f. of Routes exceed the whole amount of the
lea n. It is consequently feared that the whole of
the large subscriptions will be annulled, and the
sub scriptions of 500 f. reduced. •

THE WAR IN ASIA.

A letter from Trebizonde, dated the 28th of
December, says :
" On Sunday, the 24th of December, the Tunisian
corvette Mansour, commanded by Captain Faure, ar-
rived in our port after having accomplished an interest-
ing mission on the Abasian coast.
" The Mansour, on its return from Redout-Kal6,
took on board at Tchuruk-su 300 soldiers, four heavy
guns, and some artillerymen, and conveyed them to
Soukouin-Kale.

" With painful astonishment the officers found that
the pretty houses of this latter town, many of which are
of stone, and the fine barracks about the town, had been
in great part demolished, the roofs were knocked in, and
everythinginside either carried off or smashed. Some par-
tisans of Russia are supposed to have committed this act
of vandalism.

" From Soukoum-Kald the Mansour, obeying the
orders of Mustapha Pasha, proceeded to Soutcha and
Ardilher. Those military stations have for some time
been abandoned by the Russians and the forts destroyed.
Captain Faure having visited these two localities, ship-
ped on board the corvette four guns, two brass and two
iron, which had been spiked and left there by the Rus-
sians among the ruins of the forts of Soutcha and Ardil-
her. These guns have been landed at the head-quarters
of Tchuruk-su.

" Mustapha Pasha intends, unless something unfore
seen occurs, shortly revisiting the Abasinian and Circas
sian coasts."

THE BLACK SEA.

The latest movements in the Black Sea Fleet are
detailed in letters we have received dated Decem-
ber 30 and January 1 respectively. At the first
date there were at Eupatioria her Majesty's ship,
Leander, 50, Captain the Hon. S. T. Carnegie ;
the Curacoa, 31, Captain the Hon. G. F. Hast-
ings ; and the Viper gun-boat, 4, Lieutenant Lod-
der. At Balaklava were her Majesty's ships Sans-
' pared, 70, Captain Heath ; the Diamond, 20, Cap-
tain Peel ; the Wasp, 14, Commander John Hay ;
the Vesuvius, 6, Commander Powell ; the Fire-
brand, 6, Captain Moorsom ; the Sphinx, 6, Cap-
tain Wilmot ; the Vulture, 6, Captain Glasse ;
and the Caradoc, 2, Commander Derriman. The
seamen and naval officers of the Bellerophon, 78,
Captain Lord George Paulet, have been ordered
to rejoin their ship, while the marine officers
and marines remain on shore. The Tribune, 31,
Capt. the Hon. J. R. Drummond, it is expected,
will relieve the Sanspareil as senior officer's ship at
Balaklava, when the latter will go home. Dr.
Brown, of the Bellerophon, has volunteered to re-
main doing duty with the Marine Brigade. Dr.
Walsh has been ordered to do duty with the Ma-
rines encamped before Sebastopol. Dr. Deas, de-
puty medical inspector, has been ,at jlialaklay,afor_
some days, reorganising the mtaicai start oxne
naval and marine brigades. Dr. Chapman, of the
Britannia, has been appointed to the naval brigade.
Admiral Lyons visited Balaklava two days ago, and
rode all over the lines there ; ho returned in the
Beagle gunboat to Chersonese the same evening."
The Lion steamer has returned from Tendra Bay
(near Odessa) with a cargo of hay, taken on board
under the protection of the guns of the Highflyer
and Gladiator.

GENERAL SIR DE LACY EVANS.

A meeting of some of General Sir De Lacy Evans's
friends and former political supporters in Westminster
took place on Monday evening, at Beaufort-buildings,
for the purpose of taking into consideration the pro.
priety of welcoming and congratulating him on his re-
turn to England. There were present on the occasion
Mr. Prout, Dr. Bainbridge, Mr. Pouncey, Mr. Joseph
Parkes, Mr. Geesin, Mr. Labrun, Mr. Walker, Mr.
Wright, Mr. George, and various others, representing
the several parishes of Westminster.

An address embodying the sentiments of the meeting
was read by Mr. Preut, the chairman. It contained a
resume of the long, various, and valuable services of the
general, both as a soldier and a politician ; and expressed
a fervent hope that in a short time his health would be
■o far re-established as to enable him to resume his Par-
liamentary duties.
The chairman stated that he had received a note from
tire general, in which he said that it was his intention,
if possible, to be in town by the end of this week,
and that he would most probably receive the deputa-
tion on Monday. After an interesting discussion it
was decided that a committee should be appointed to
make some verbal alterations in the address, and that
those present should be again called together to form
a deputation to wait upon the general on his arrival in
London.

THB FRBNCH Loart.—The advices from Paris yester-
day confirm the statement of the applications for the loan
having reached a total of about 80,000,0001. sterling.
They also mention that the small subscriptions, for 500 f.
Rentes and under, exceed the whole 20,000,0001. to be
allotted, and that the large capitalists will get nothing.
SHOCKING ACCIDENT.—On the Bth instant David
Henry Jones, a clerk in the office of the general ma-
nager of the Manchester and Sheffield Railway Com-
pany, at the London-road station, Manchester, while
attempting to jump upon an engine that was in motion,
taking out the 11.30 a.m. train to Hull, missed his
footiag, and his right foot, slipping down upon the
near rail, was crushed by one of the wheels. He was
holding on by the handrail of the engine, and his cries
induced the driver to stop as soon as possible. Jones,
who was only 17 years of age, had been sent to the
engine-driver with letters to be taken to Hull, and had
attempted, against the rules of the company to ride up
to the office-door at the end of the station, when Ire met
with this sad accident. The greatest attention was paid to
him, and he was taken down to the Royal Infirmary,
where, at the request of the railway manager, Dr. Har-
rison, medical attendant of the company, and Mr. Smith,
surgeon, of Mosley-street, went to consult with the
surgeons of the institution as to the best steps to be
taken in the case. All these gentlemen were of opinion
that it was necessary to amputate the forepart of the
foot, but the youth's parents, who were sent for as early
as possible, refused to allow the operation, and insisted
upon taking him hom e that they might consult a surgeon
of their own. The result was, that he was put under
the care of the present representative of the once cele-
brated "Oldfield-lane doctor," in whose skill the humbler
classes have always had great faith. The foot was not
taken off, and at first appeared to go on well, bet on
Thursday morning last mortification had commenced,
and the leg had to be amputated a little below the knee.
The operation proved too severe a trial for him in his
then exhausted state, and he died at an early hour yes-
• terday morning.

ODESSA.

JAN. 2.—Prince Menschikoff (says the corres-
pondence of the Allgemeine Zeitung) can with dif-
culty feed the troops around him, and yet he in-
cessantly demands reinforcements, more especially
since he has ascertained with certitude that a
Turkish corps of 30,000 or 40,000 men strong will
be landed at Koslov (Eupatoria). The Turks will
play there the role performed a short time ago by
Liprandi, in his position to the rear of Balaklava.
As the operations of the Allies were checked and
hemmed in by Liprandi, so will the movements of
Menschikoff he restricted and hampered. Every
vulnerable point is therefore being looked to, and
the works of defence around Perekop and Simphero-
pol are being recommenced with vigour.
The forces which are being despatched to Prince
Menschikoff are anything but choice troops ; all
those that could be spared hero and in Bessarabia
are already in Sebastopol. If the troops already
at the onset of their march have no imposing as-
pect, what a scene of misery must they present on
arriving at their destination ! It is impossible to
describe the extreme hardships over which these
poor fellows must triumph. Hitherto waggons
were employed in transporting them, but that is
now utterly impossible, as the frost has not even
improved the condition of the roads. lam assured
that above ten per cent. of the expeditions sink on
the road from hunger and exhaustion, never again
to rise ; and that of those who are happy enough to
arrive a large portion are received into the hos-
pitals.

TITHES AND SEWERS' RATE.

THE MILITIA.

The Royal Westminster Militia, Col. Lord Chelsea, is
ordered forthwith to be embodied for permanent duty.
Yesterday the East Suffolk Regiment of Artillery as-
sembled at their depot, Brook-street, Ipswich, prepara-
tory to their marching to the stations assigned to the
various detachments. During the morning the follow-
ing movements took place :—For Tilbury Fort, a de-
tachment, under the command of Captain Whitbread,
Lieutenant D'Eye, and Lieutenant Everard. For Land-
guard Fort, Harwich, a detachment, under the com-
mand of Captain Leathes, Captain Gorton, Lieutenant
Eagle, and Ensign Gower. For Harwich redoubt, a
detachment, under command of Captain Barlow and.
Lieutenant Daniel. A detachment had also ¢been or-
dered for garrison duty at Hull, but this has been
countermanded, and a detachment of the Norfolk Mi-
litia Artillery are ordered for that post.
The Artillery battalion of the Royal Sussex Militia is
to be embodied on the Ist of February next, at the
depot in Southover. The men will be drilled for a few
weeks, after which they will probably be placed along
the coast in the martello towers.

The East Norfolk Militia have only been assembled
about a fortnight, and up to Friday last 69 men had
volunteered to the regular forces-35 to the Coldstream
Guards, and the remainder to the Royal Artillery, Ist
Foot, 60th Rifles, 9Sth, and Rifle Brigade. Previously
to the embodiment of the regiment about 200 bad been
released from their militia engagements to join the
army. The recruiting goes on briskly, the men being
almost immediately replaced. The regiment still mus-
ters nearly 700 men.

Two hundred men of the 2d Somerset Militia, chiefly
recruits, arrived in Cork by the Sabrina steamer, on
Sunday from Bristol, They will remain there to fill up
the vacancies caused by the large numbers that have
volunteered into the line.

ROETN.—The letters from Rouen mention that the
lhariit,t fur mauthaeLutes was steady, with a slight ten-
dency. to improvement, the attendance of buyers having
increased.

BAGGAGE AND TRANSPORT CORPS.

We learn from a respectable source that the Govern-
ment is about to organise a baggage and transport
corps. The officers will be selected from the East India
Company's army. They will rank with officers of her
Majesty's service. Colonel MqVfurdo is to have the
command, and he, with some other officers and men
selected from the metropolitan police, will sail next
week for Constantinople. The policemen will form the
nucleus of the corps, which will then be completed at
Constantinople by Turkish recruits.

SHIPPING STATISTICS.

The East India and China Association have published
their comparative statement of the number of ships, both
British and foreign, with their aggregate tonnage, en-
tered inward and cleared outward with cargo from and
to places within the limits of the East India Company's
charter in the years 1853 and 1854.
The statistics of vessels entered inward show, in the
case of the port of London, an increase of 113 vessels,
and 58,984 tonnage, the difference between 711 vessels,
with 384,531 tonnage, in 1853, and 824 vessels, with
443,515 tonnage, in 1854. Liverpool figures for an in-
crease of five vessels and 4,831 tonnage, the arrivals in
1853 having been 255 vessels, with 155,741 tonnage, and
260 vessels, with 160,572 tonnage. In the case of Bristol
there is an increase of three vessels and 3,338 tonnage,
the difference between 28 vessels, with 10,048 tormage,
and 31 vessels, with 13,386 tonnage. The return for the
Clyde exhibits an increase of 16 vessels and 5,502 ton-
nage, the arrivals in the earlier period having been 39
vessels, with 14,577 tonnage, against in the latter 55
vessels, with 20,079 tonnage. The total increase on
the year has been 137 vessels, and 72,655 tonnage, the
difference between 1,033 vessels, with 564,897 tonnage,
in 1853, and 1,170 vessels, with 637,552 tannage, in
1854. The increase in arrivals has been from Calcutta,
Madras, Ceylon, the Philippine Islands, Java, and
Sumatra, Mauritius, and the Cape of Good Hope.
The statistics of vessels cleared outward show a de-
crease in the case of the port of London of 42 vessels
and 33,004 tonnage, the difference between 954 vessels,
with 485,972 tonnage, and 912 vessels, with 452,968
tonnage. The return for Liverpool exhibits a decrease
of 75 vessels, but an increase of 33,691 tonnage, the
departures in 1853 having been 515 vessels, with
280,054 tonnage, and 440 vessels, with 313,745 tonnage.
The decrease in the case of Bristol is 21 vessels, and
4,174 tonnage, the difference between 36 vessels, with
9,308 tonnage, and 15 vessels, with 5,134 tonnage. The
return for the Clyde exhibits a decrease of 64 vessels
and 803 tonnage, the departures in the earlier period
having been 188 vessels, with 61,552 tonnage, against,
in the latter, 124 vessels, with 60,749 tonnage. The
net decrease on the year has been 202 vessels, and 4290,
tonnage ; the difference between 1,693 vessels, with
836,886 tonnage, and 1,491 vessels, with 832,596 ton-
nage. The relatively small diminution in tonnage is
accounted for by the increased size of the vessels em-
ployed, Liverpool and the Clyde particularly having
ramie an advance in this respect. The decrease in depar
tures has been in connexion with Australia, China, and
the Cape of Good Rope.

THE PRINCIPALITIES.

A letter from Giurgevo, of the 31st ult.,
says :—" Turkish troops on the way from
Wallachia to Rustchuk began to pass through
this town a fortnight ago, and have since continued
to do so. In all, 14,000 have passed through.
Only 1,300 men are to remain at Giurgevo, but
6,000 are to occupy the camp of Slobosia, which is
at no great distance. These troops are all in-
fantry. It is believed that we shall shortly
have a small Austrian garrison. Great anima-
tion prevails in the pert of Giurg,ewo, and
business transactions are as active as before 1853.
The blockade of the mouths of the Danube has,
however, prevented them from taking their full
development."
