OIVIER PACHA'S ARMY.

According to a letter from don:Caniinople, in a
Marseilles journal, Omer Pacha has officially com-
municated to Marshal St. Arnaud and General
Lord Raglan the following statement of his regu-
lar forces :

126 battalions of infantry each 700 strong 88,200
4 battalions of cbasseurs
64 squadrons of cavalry (on an average 125 men
per squadron)
Artillery, 224 pieces and 4,000 men (the latter
excellent troops)
2 battalions of engineers each 600 strong

Total ~.........104,200..................................
The irregular troops were stated to consist of
13,745 infantry, not well disciplined, but robust
and intrepid, and excellent for harassing the enemy.
The
irregular cavalry consists of 14,355 men, who
are generally well mounted, and can be usefully
opposed to the Cossacks. The total of irregulars
is consequently 28,100, and these added to the
regulars make a grand total of 132,300 men.

TUNISIAN EXPEDITION TO TUiticEY.
The Mon iteur announces that in consequence of
communications between, the Minister of Foreign

Affairs of France and his Excellency Count Ruffo,
Minister of the Boy of Tunis, the Tunisian Govern-
ment has come to the determination of sending to
Constantinople an armed auxiliary corps. This
corps will be composed of• four regiments of in-
fantry, and two batteries of artillery. Each regi-
ment will comprise three battalions of about 800
men. Adding the force for the batteries, there will
be a total of about 10,000 men, 400 horse, and 12
pieces of cannon. The Bey has informed the Con-
suls of France and England of this resolution in a
note couched as follows :

•" Praise be to God, &c.
" We have thought our duty to take, within the limit
of our means, a part in the great question which occu-
pies the nations in 'the East—a question which interests
the whole world. With this view we propose to despatch
our ships with a division of our troops. We write to
you in order that you may be informed of our inten-
tions," &c.
The command of the Tunisian division is en-
trusted to General Redschid, who was sent last
year by the Bey on a mission to France.
A letter from Smyrna dated May 17, says that
Admiral de Tinan conducted to Rhodes on the
10th of May, and placed at the disposal of the local
authorities, four piratical vessels taken by him near
Nicaria.

DEATH OF COLONEL SAMUEL WHITE.—We regret to
announce the sudden death of Colonel Samuel White, of
Killakee. Ile was seized with an attack of apoplexy
yesterday, while sitting at table with his family, and,
though the best medical assistance was shortly afterwards
on the spot, he only lingered a few hours, and never
became sensible from the first. The deceased represented
the county of Leitrim for several years in Parliament,
in which representation he succeeded his father, the late
Mr. Luke White. He died without any issue. Colonel
White was possess,d of large landed property in the
country of Leitrim, aria was a kind and indulgent land-

THE LOSS OF THE TIGER.

A letter has been received at Plymouth by Mrs.
Doraville, the wife of Mr. H. J. Domville, the
surgeon of the Tiger, and who is one of the prison-
ers ; it is dated Odessa, May 15, and states that
the ship struck the ground on the morning of the
12th during a dense fog, about 150 yards
from the beach, and five miles to the south
of Odessa ; every effort was made to get
the ship off by throwing some guns over-
board, but without avail. When the batteries on
shore opened their fire, one gun only could be fired
in return, and that with little or no execution ;
the captain and four others were struck down with
wounds, and in less than ten minutes after the
commencement of the firing the ship was in flames
in two places. Russian colours were then hoisted,
in token of surrender. The letter further states
that they were received with great kindness by
their captors, and the crew were as happy as cir-
cumstances would permit. The captain was pro-
gressing favourably.

ASIATIC TURKEY.

A letter from Trebizond, dated May 5, contains
the following :
The news of the bombardment of Odessa brought
by the English steamer Phoebe, was received with
enthusiasm. The consuls of France, England, and
Austria hoisted their flags, and the Pasha went
and paid them a visit.
Soukoum-Kaleh, abandoned by the Russians,
has just been occupied by the Abasiotes, who took
possession of the warehouses and the merchandise
they contained, and hoisted the Turkish flag there.
The Russians, to the number of 5,000 or 6,000,
marched upon Redout-Kaleh, whence it is thought
they will endeavour to reach Tiflis. They have
evacuated and burnt Anapa.
The Wanderer of Vienna says :—" Our news from
Trebizond reaches to the Bth, that from Kars to the
29th ult. Many Circassian chiefs had repaired to
the former place, to await Lord Raglan at the head
of the British auxiliary army. It is said the opera-
tions against Kars, where there were not more
than 12,000 Turkish troops, in a state of complete
discouragement, commenced in the first days of
May. Commercial men at Trebizond expect to
reap great advantages from the abandonment of
the Circassian coast by the Russians, and to be
thus in some measure indemnified for the losses
they sustained while the Russians were preparing
for departure, the latter not having shown the
slightest consideration for the inhabitants, and
made them decamp at a few hours' notice, quite
insufficient to enable them to remove all their
effects. The evacuation of Soukoum-Kaleh alone
has cost the trade of Trebizond upwards of a mil-
lion of piastres (about 250,000 fr.), the Circassians
having pillaged the town and set it on fire. The
evacuation, moreover, is stated not to have been
executed to the satisfaction of the Russians, a
numerous body of Circassians having impeded
their operations, and made some prisoners."

steamers and 'a great number of French vessels, for
the conveyance to the East of the new divisions, now
concentrating at Toulon, a portion of which are already
quartered in the neighbouring villages. Yesterday, a
battalion of the 10th Regiment of Light Infantry
marched through the town to La 'Valet* where it is to
remain until it receives orders to embark. Two companies
of engineers and a mounted battery of artillery, with all
its materiel, arrived yesterday morning, and were billeted
on the inhabitants. Measures are taken for the speedy
embarkation of all the troops, and we have now in
the reads a sufficient number of vessels to carry in
one voyage 10,000 leen to the vat of war. A de-
tachment of the 14th Battery of the 4th Regiment
of Artillery, in garrison at Toulon, will proceed to-
morrow to Cuges, to receive a considerable materiel of
Artillery, which is on its way to Toulon, to be embarked
before the close of the month. Two detachments of the
10th and 25th Regiment* of Light Infantry, forming an
effective force of 560 men, are to be cantoned partly at
011ioules and partly at Toulon, to be ready at a moment's
notice to take passage on hoard one of the ships of war
for Algeria. The operatives in the maritime arsenal
worked yesterday (Sunday) until neon, and during the
week many are kept employed until seven o'clock p.m
The greatest activity prevails in our arsenals. The
2d battalion of the 57th, 550 men strong, arrived
to-day at Toulon, and is to be cantoned in the vicinity.
With the Ist battalion of that regiment, expected to-
morrow, and the 10th Light infantry now here, we
shall have a complete brigade, which can be- embarked
in 24 hours. The Milan steamer, which only arrived a
few days ago from Brest, has already left for the East.
The frigate Vengeance weighed anchor this afternoon
for the same destination. Both had troops on board.
We have now in port, ready to sail with reinforceinentsi
the ship of the line St. Louis, which arrived yesterday,
and four frigates, the Calypso, Zenobie, Constitution,
and Andromaque. Those vessels will sail in a few days
with the troops quartered in the neighbourhood."

THE BLESSINGS OF A CHANCERY SUIT.—The late
James Hoskens, Esq., by his will, directed that his trus-
tees should yearly distribute 50/. amongst the deserving
poor of the parish of Northwood, I.W. They did so
two years ; bit some difference of opinion arising
as to the intention of the testator on some other matters.
the trustees and legatees agreed to take the opinion of
the Court of Chancery. They engaged in a friendly suit,
which is not yet decided ; but, so far as the poor is con-
cerned, it is a woeful affair. After a delay of twenty
years, an order of the court has issued, reducing the
amount to 101. per annum ; John Bates, Esq., Mr.
Moore, and Mr. Dear, being appointed trustees for its
distribution.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.-(TBIS .DAY.)

COURT OF EXCHEQUER.
NORTH BRITISH INSURANCE CO3II.A.NY V. LLOYD AND

OTHERS.

This was an action brought to recover 2,0001. on bills
of exchange which the defendants had given to the plain-
tiffs, in part security for a loan of 10,0001. which they
had advanced to Sir Thomas Branker, the Liverpool
merchant. At the trial a verdict was found for the
plaintiffs ; but it having come to the knowledge of the
defendants that their bills were accepted in exchange for
a bill which Mr. James Nranker had given in the first
instance, they applied for a pew trial, on the ground
that the plaintiffs ought to have disclosed to them the
circumstance that their security was to release Mr. James
Branker from his liability. The rule was argued at some
length in the course of the term, and this morning the
Court gave judgment, refusing the rule.

THE ROYAL ALBERT.

We have been favoured with the following report sent
here relatve to the Royal Albert ;--She left on the
19th inst.. at 9.50 a.m. At 10.30 a.m. stopped for
twenty minutes to adjust bearings, and anchored off
the Mouse at 11.50, there not being water for her to
proceed over the flats. On Monday, the 20th, got
under way at 10 a.m. Passed the Girdler light at 10.45.
Passed the Tongee light at 12.10. Was off Ramsgate
at 1.50. Eased and stopped for forty minutes to put
the pilot on shore at Ramsgate. Passed South Fore-
land at 3.15 p.m., engine making sixty-seven revolutions
per minute. Some fore and aft sails set. Rate taken
by common log 11i knots per hour. Passed Dover Pier
at 3.35 p.m. Slacked speed off Folkestone, and worked
engines expansively till off Beechy Head at 8.5 p.m.
Then stopped engines fur the night, and ran with jib
only t.ll 3.30 next morning the 21st. Put on steam
easy tntil 6.45, then put on full steam, and arrived at
Spithtad at 9.15 a.m. Speed by Massey's log at 8 a.m.
that eay was 9.66 knots per hour, no sail ; draft of
water, 24 feet 9 inches forward, 27 feet 2 inches aft,
mean 25 feet 11/ inches ; engines running making 69
revolutions ; nominal horse power, 500 ; indicated horse
power at 8 a.m. this day 1829, or 3ids nominal. En-
gines worked admirably ; no derangement whatever.
When getting her anchor weighing from the Mouse on
Monday morning the great advantage of the gutta pereha
speakng tubes, and the engine-room indicator was most
apparent. As the order of Mr. George Brochnian, mas-
terpilot charge, was given to "go
ienas
tylße
aNch
le.ad," who
to wasa in pilot
the men at the capstan heaving
ain, the stupendous machinery was under the
most perfect control, and when ordered to " stop her "
it was instantaneous. Her anchor was got with merely
heaving in the slack of her chain, as her engines put her
ahead to it. When drifting under jib only she nude
five knots per hour. On Tuesday morning Mr. Rumble,
the chief engineer, reported to Captain ill. Thomas
Pasley, Bart., the ship all ready for sea, as it regards
her maohinery department, to-day if required.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

130 W-STREET.—Mr. Morbey, the landlord of the
Rising Sun (the house in which 114 persons were lately
apprehended by the police), waited upon Mr. Jardine to
inform him that ho was at Lowestoft at the time, and,
not having the slightest knowledge of what was going
on at his house, or of the intentions of the police, it was
clear that he had not designedly kept out of the way.
He bad been complimented by the colleagues of his wor-
ship upon the manner in which he had conducted his
house, and he was most anxious to keep within the law,
although he was not aware that persons betting among
themselves, while using his house, was illegal. He
begged also to repudiate all knowledge of, or concurrence
with, the scurrilous attack on his worship in a paper
called the Racing Times, and to assure his worship that
he should not have risked the loss of his license (which
would be the rain of him), to sayjnothing of the expenses
in which he had been involved, by pursuing any course
opposed to his worship's views of the law. He was fined
101. on a former occasion for betting himself, since which
time he had never made a bet with any one, and to this
extent only he thought be- was limited by the act.
Mr. Jardine said, he had nothing to do with the ini-
tiative in these matters. He was asked to interpret the
meaning of these Betting Acts, and he did so to the best
of his ability. His decision bad been appealed against,
and he was not sorry for it, as it might assist in bringing
about a clearer understanding upon a subject of consi-
derable importance. As to the print reterred to, be
should not have been conscious of the existence of such
a paper if some one—most likely the person who wrote
the article in question—had not taken the troutle to
send him a copy of it. He (Mr. Morbey) need not dis-
tress his mind about that part of the matter.

LATEST NEWS.

ANOTHER BATTLE BEFORE
SEBASTOPOL.

We have received the following important tele-
graphic despatch, forwarded from Constantinople
to Semlin by courier, and thence to Vienna by
telegraph, from our correspondent at the latter

city.
It is dated Constantinople, Nov. 16 :
"On the 13th the Russians attacked the
French lines, but were repulsed.
" The loss was great on both sides.
" The Russians have received further reinforce-
ments.
" The Queen of the South has arrived with
1,200 troops.
" A transport has been wrecked near San
Stefano."

VIENNA, FRIDAY EVENING.

The Presse has advices from Constantinople of
the 17th, according to which there had been an-
other battle before Sebastopol, in which the Rus-
sians were defeated.
On the 13th and 14th there had been a fearful

storm at Constantinople.
Three minarets of the mosque of the Sultan
Achmet were blown down.

According to a Russian despatch, eight trans-
ports of the Allies had been wrecked, and a frigate
and sloop had foundered.

BRUSSELS, FRIDAY.

An account, purporting to be of Russian origin,
states that nothing extraordinary had taken place
before Sebastopol to the 16th.
The fire of the Allies was kept up.

THE PRINCIPALITIES.
A letter from Galatz, in the Ost Deutsch Post of
Vienna, says :
"The Turkish troops have taken possession of Mat-
chin, Isaktcha, and Tultcha, and strongly occupied these
places, as well as the interior of the Dobrudscha. The
Turkish garrison of Ibrail has moved its advance-guard
to the Sereth. Achreet-Sadyl, commander of that body,
has published a proclamation, dated the sth, announcing
that the Russians having been forced to quit the Do-
brudscha, the Turkish troops have occupied Babadagh,
Tultcha, Matckin, and other places of that district ;
that two officers had been despatched to see that proper
measures were taken for having the navigation of the
Danube re-established, the said officers being charged to
come to an understanding for the purpose with the
Allies, who are in possession of the Sulina ; and lastly,
that the general-in-chief would always make every exer-
tion to protect the commerce of that great river, of such
paramount importance to the Principalities. All the
Turkish troops in Wallachia have received orders to ad-
'ranee on Fokchany and Ibrail, and to concentrate them-
selves there, in order to pass the Pruth to the number
of 30,000 men."

THE ROir AL ALBILRT.

His Royal Highness :Prince' Albert visited Ports-
mouth yesterday, to ire poet the screw three-decker
Royal Albert, Captain Sii • Thomas Pasloy, prior to her
departure to the seat of Nv ar in the Crimea, and to wit-
ness the embarcation of the reinforcements of Guards,
&c., who take passage in • that noble ship. The Prince
arrived is the Royal Clari mce.yard, Gosport, between
12 and 1 o'clock. by trai n from London, attended by
Colonel the Hon. G. key and Captain Du Plat,
Equerries, and was recei I ed with a Royal salute by her
Majesty's ship Victory al e the Platform Battery. The
officers in attendance at the Ciareece-yard were—Vice- '
Admiral Sir Thomas Co. rl Irene, K..C.8., Rear-Admiral
Martin, Rear-Admiral G vartenay, Major. General Simp-
son, Major Dalgetty, M s ster-Attendan.t Davis, R.N.,
Mr. Storekeeper Pinhorn.. R.N., and a guard of honour.
The Royal yacht Fairy, (litptain the lion. Joseph Den-
inns, was alongside, and at once conveyed the Prince
anal staff to the Portsmourch side of the harbour, where
she remained to await the arrival of the troops from the
Portsmouth Railway-stati:.on. The first'portion of these,
comprising 730 of the Gi cards (Grenadier, Coldstream,
and Scots Fusilier), arrived at the station about one
o'clock, and were met b3r the bands of the regiments in
garrison, who, on their falling in, placed themselves at
the head of the column re.d played them to the place of
embarcation in the dock y and to the liveliest tunes and
amid an ovation from the, populace such as had not been
accorded to any of their .comrades.who had previously
embaiked at this port. The greeting was most inde-
s'cribably enthusiastic, end business along the entire
line of march was compl et sly suspended during the pas-
sage. One warm-hearted inhabitant (Mr. Antill, wine,
spirit, and porteremercha tit, whose premises are con-
tiguous to the dockyard
,gi6tes) had all the drawers of his
establishment employed he( 'revving pots of first-class stout,
and handing them to the troops as they defiled past his
house to the dockyard, arel so admirably was this timed
and managed that no sto p page took place, nor any con-
fusion in the ranks; and eve don't think a score of the
whole of the Guards went, ~vithout their hearty "pull" at
the foaming cheer. On air iving at the dockyard another
greeting awaited the gallant soldiers from the artisans
of the establishment, mid they then drew up near
the jetty of embarcation, a nd formed in divisions at close
order for the Prince to in sweet them. His Royal High-
ness then, accompanied 1.1 Major-General Simpson and
the staff, passed from right to left of each rank and
minutely inspected them, :after which they filed oil on
board the Sprightl,ed the Cometconvoyed out to, and the EcSpithead,

AUSTRIA.

A letter of the 18th, in a Frankfort journal, says
—" When Prince Gortschakoff received last' week
a despatch from St. Petersburg, he went on the
following day to Count Buol, and informed him
that he was autherised to notify to him the text
of the Russian despatch sent to Berlin, in reply to
the last note from it. No mention was made in this
notification of the Russian ambassador of an ac-
ceptance of the four points. It was only said that
no hesitation would be felt at entering into direct
negotiation with the Cabinet of Vienna on them—
that is to say that, in the first place, the Western,
Powers should be excluded ; and that, in the se-
cond place, a negotiation should take place, not on
the basis of the four points, but on the four points
themselves. Prince Gortschakoff wished to make
it be believed that Russia was disposed to make
many sacrifices in favour of Austria, and appeared
principally to have chosen the free navigation of
the Danube to produce an effect on Count Buol.
Since this conference there have not been any re-
lations between the Cabinet of Vienna and the
Russian ambassador to lead to a belief that the
efforts of Prince Gortschakoff to induce the Cabi-
net of Vienna to enter into negotiations have suc-
ceeded. In our governmental circles all the at-
tempts of Russia to renew negotiations are resisted
with obstinacy, as they consider that the only ob-
ject of them would be to gain time, and to separate
Germany from the Western Powers."

SPAIN.

A Madrid letter of the 20th says :
" The Ministers have decidedly adopted the can-
didateship of M. Infante for the Presidency of the
Cortes. They have also determined that on the
definitive constitution of the Cortes, a proposition
formally recognising the monarchial form of Go-
vernment and the Queen shall be presented. It
turns out to be true, contrary to what was said the
other day, that General Espartero has received let-
ters from the English Ministers, congratulating him
on his elevation and policy. Besides this, the
statesmen of England have in their conferences
with our representatives at London constantly de-
clared themselves in favour of Queen Isabella. In
the Cortes to-day, General San Miguel announced
that the deputation which had waited on the Queen had
been received by her Majesty with her usual affability.
A long discussion took place as to the admission of M.
de los Heros, some deputies contending that his holding
of the office of Intendant of the Palace disqualified him
from sitting in Parliament. His election, however, was
by 193 votes to 23 declared valid."

may be with them in their treacherous neutrality;
their people are not. Let them not forget 1848.
There are times when peoples count for something,
and those times may be nearer again than they
think. They are provoking France and England
to appeal to the people against their rulers. The
Allied Governments are far enough at present
from wishing for more revolutions ; but the Allied
nations would rather see all the German States
blown to shivers, and their perjured tyrants put
beyond the power of deceiving their subjects again,
than go on sacrificing their husbands' and brothers'
Mood to the hostile neutrality of Austria and
Prussia. We warn these confederates of Russia
that our people here will soon demand summary
dealings with them. We are in the long run
masters of our Cabinets. We forced them
against their wishes into the war, we forced
them, though tardily, to do something more than
send troops to die of the cholera at Varna. We
have forted them to commit themselves to the
ruin of Sebastopol and if Austria and Prussia
choose to continue in their present cause, we shall
yet force them to hold out the standard of Polish,
Hungarian, and Italian freedom, and it may be
of freedom for all the little kingdoms and duke-
doms who have re-enslaved their subjects since
1848.

We repeat, much as we long for continental
freedom, necessary as we deem the reconstitution
of Poland to the safety of Europe, it will be the
despots, not the Allies, who will compel revolu-
tion. They have all owned that Russia was in
the wrong, that she has no more right to the
provinces than we have, yet they have chosen to
abet rather than to oppose her. Had they all
Joined, as honesty demanded, in declaring the
passage of the Pruth a castes MN, there would
have been no war at all. Had they supported
the Allies when the conflict began, as from their
condemnation of the enemy they were bound to
do, the war would probably have ended with the
summer. If now they have to vacate their
thrones through the burning indignation of the
two Western nations, emboldening their subjects
to give them their deserts, let them remember
that it will be they, and not the Allies, who have
been the revolutionists.
