RUSSIA AND CIRCASSIA.—Letters from Constan-
tinople speak of a diversion which may be of some
service to the Poles, on the side of the Caucasus. In
obedience to orders received before the events in Poland,
the Russian troops invaded the territory of some tribes
which have hitherto been independent. The resistance was
obstinate and desperate. In the last encounter the Russians
lost 1,050 men. But the Circassians paid dearly for their
victory; 500 of them were killed, including one of thei
chiefs. The Russian general then proposed a truce for
~everal years ; but the news of the Polish insurrection had
in the meantime arrived at the Circassian camp, and the
offer has been rejected.
HEALTH OF GARIBALDI --The Paris Presse of
yesterday says :—" The health of Garibaldi gives great
anxiety to all his friends. Our Turin correspondent wrote
some time ago that he did not share the general optimism,
and to-day he writes to us that not only is the instep
tumified, but the swelling is gaining on the leg, which may
bring about grave results. Garibaldi has been compelled
to decline the visits which he has frequently received at
Caprera."
SERIOUS ILLNESS OF SIR TATTON SYKES, BART.
—We understand that this venerable baronet, who
has entered on his 92d year, is at the present moment lying
prostrate at Sledmere, an attack of drepsy having set in
before he had recovered from the bronchitis which laid him
up two months ago. From the commencement of the week
Sir Tatton has been insensible, and the best medical aid has
failed to restore him to consciousness ; and as his legs have
begun to fill it is feared he will not survive many hours.
Mr. Tatton Sykes, his eldest son, at present in Egypt, has
been telegraphed for, as well as the test of his relations.

THE NEW POLICE MAGISTRATE.—Yesterday Sir
George Grey appointed Mr. William Partridge, for-
merly of the Oxford Circuit, and stipendiary magistrate at

court. Mr Selfe is to succeed Mr. Paynter, who has retired,
at the 'Westminster Police-court. Mr. Partridge was called
to the Bar of the Middle Temple in November, 1843. We
understand that Mr. Sell() presides for the last, time at the
Thames Police-court this day. He has officiated as a ma-
gistrate there 1. r seven years, and has obtained great popu-
larity for the able and conscientious manner in which he
has performed his official duties. Mr. Partridge is the
fourth magistrate in succession appointed from the Oxford
Circuit to the Thames Police-court—namely, Mr. Yardley,
Mr. Selfe, Mr. Wooby* and now Mr. Partridge.
