MARSEILLES, 23.-.. The English steamer has arrived
here from Constantinople with sick on board. She left
on the 15th, but brings nothing from the Crimea later
than that brought by the o:iris. A heavy gale of wind
in the B!ack Sea had caused the delay -in the arrival of
the despatches. Some private letters, however, give
mope details of the events of the siege, and the Constan•
tinople journals had published supplement; with news
from the Crimea to the 12th. The arrival of Omer
Picha on the 9th with the Egyptian divison before
Sebastopol is confirmed. The loss of the French
on the first day of the bombardment is estimated
at 100 killed and wounded. The overflowing of the
Tcherielya, by which the valley has been inundated,
preveuts the Russian army from crossing it in order to
give assistance to the garrison. Fires had broken out
in several parts of the town. Colonel de Beville has
been invited to visit the palace of Balta Liman, which
has been newly and entirely decorated. Part of the
ca-riages of the Emperor ha I arrived at Constantinople.
The town of Broussa has azain suffered severely from
further shocks of earthquake. There were no fewer
than 150 shocks. The fire wa; consuming the ruins of
the town.

VIENNA, 231.—The Conferences are provisionally
suspended on account of a want of accord on the third
point. Lord John Russell leaves to-day. According
to accounts from Sebastopol of the 17th the bombard-
ment continued with success, and it was thought that
the assault would take place in a week from that time."

"The camp equipage of the Emperor was sent

number of employes of the Menus-Plaisirs, who

plete uniform."

" Letters from London inform us," says the
Saint Public of Lyons, " that qteen Victoria,
instead of coming to Paris for the opening of the
Exhibition, as had been expected, has postponed
her visit to the end of September, in order to be
present at the solemn, distribution of prizes which
is to take place at the commencement of October.
This determination has been taken partly from
political motives, and partly from the fact that the
preparations for the Exhibition cannot be com-
pletely terminated by the day fixed for the opening.
Hir Mjesty, during her stay in France, will pass
some days at the palace of Fontainhleau, where
grand fetes are to be given in compliment to her
Maj,sty's visit."
