BLUNDERS : -WATKINS'S DIRECTORY
FOR 1855. In eight pages Imperial Octavo, a Review of
the March edition, of Watkins's London Directory for 1851, exposing
a large number of blunders, by far the greeter part of which ap-
peared in the first edition e f Watkins's Directory published in De-
cember, 1851, and which have since been reprinted with every sub-
sequent edition of the book. Watkins's Directory for 1155 has been
already publi-hed, and all the identical blunders exposed in the Re-
view have been again reprinted into it.

Persons who have purchased the work should without delay obtain
the Review, which may be had here gratis, or will be forwarded on

THE ROYAL STEAM YACHT.

The Fairy Royal steam-yacht, Master Commander
Welch, was undocked on Saturday at Portsmouth, after
a thorough re-embellishment.

PROVISIONS FOR THE EAST.

Orders have been received at the Royal William Vic-
tualling-yard, Plymouth, for the shipment of 150,0001 b.
of salt pork and 200,0001 b. of salt beef on board trans-
ports for the forces in the East. Iu order to expedite
the work a party of Royal Marines from the flag-ship
Impregnable, attend daily. Yesterday (Sunday) the
labourers and others were actively employed in shipping
bread on board the transport Chapman, bound for the
Black Sea. The rye flour ground at this establishment
cannot conveniently be converted into bread there, but
will be sent to Millbay, where the Russian prisoners, for
whom it was ground, will bake it in the ovens attached
to the prisons.

"The steam-frigate Christophe Colomb, which left the
Crimea on the 4th, has brought the following intelligence
to the French superior officer residing at Varna.
The French batterie de breche was only 150 metres from
the point of attack, and had made a sufficient breach for
the assault to be made on the 4th.
" The English breach battery was at about the same
distance from the place.
" Everything was favourable."
The following private telegraphic despatches
were received in Paris on Saturday :

October 27, 1854.
"Monsieur to Mar6chal,—We continue the con-
struction of new batteries which are to bear upon

the east of the enceinte which we are attacking.

They are placed upon the rock, and it is only by
blasting, sacks of earth, and other difficult and
fatiguing means, that we can proceed. Neverthe-
less, we shall shortly be able to multiply our fire
against the defences, at the repairing of which our
adversaries work with remarkable perseverance.
" Evidently this siege will mark a most labo-
rious epoch.

by some very incomplete works, occupied by from
100 to 150 Turks, and armed with a few guns, were
attacked by considerable forces, which took pos-

ceeded to the heights which border the valley of
Balaklava, and which form the extreme limit of -

masses covered the heights which form the back-
ground on the side of the Chernaya. Some 20,000
men were visible, and the remainder lay concealed
in the ravine and bushwood. Their evident in-
tention, the one they always have in view, was to
entice us down from our excellent positions. I
contented myself, at the request of Lord Raglan,
with ordering my cavalry to join the English ca-
valry drawn up in the plain before Balaklava, and
which had already executed a very brilliant charge
against the Russian cavalry. •
"Moreover, whilst Lord Raglan was advancing
two divisions of infantry in front of the fort, I
ordered all the men of the Ist division that I could

THE AEETHUSA.

The combined fleets attacked Sebastopol at about one
o'clock p.m. yesterday, and continued at it until dark.
It was the most terrific cannonade, I think, that was ever
known, thousands of cannon firing at one time. Several
of the Russian forte were blown up, and others, as fast
as we cleared them, were manned again by fresh men.
It was impossible for men to fight better. One of the
forts that we engaged was cleared five times of every man
in it ; and as fast as they could, other men were sent to
take the places of those slain. I cannot describe how nobly
each ship fought, but will content myself by stating what
little I know of my own. You must at first under-
stand that we are very poorly manned, for we have 60
mariners from our ship in charge of a small Russian
fort, and on the IGth we sent 100 men and two guns,
throwing OS-pound shot, to assist the army, leaving us
with only 300 men and boys to work and fight the ship.
I did the duty of second captain of a 68-pounder, wigh-
ing 65 cwt. Our ship has been knocked about by shot
and shell a great deal. We have been struck a great
many times under water, so that the ship leaks like a
sieve. We caught fire once by one of their shells
bursting, but it was goon put out. We have had
four poor fellows killed and 13 wounded. We are now
busy repairing the ship and clearing the wreak. The
admiral gave us great credit, and so also did our cap-
tain, and I think we have earned it. After the action
each man iu the ship had a half-pint of grog given him.

There are whole families killed, and we cannot ascertain
their names.

We are informed by R. P. Toms, Esq., of this city,
who was also a passenger on the train at the time of the
collision, that no blame can be attached to the engineer
of the train, as ho had taken every precaution by tele-
graphing from one station to another, by waiting for
trains to pass, and by the strictest orders to run very
slow, to avoid any accident. The censure, he thinks,
must rest solely with those in charge of the gravel train,
and with the watchman left to give notice when the last
train had passed, who, instead of attending to his duty,
seems to have fallen asleep —at any rate he gave false
information to the engineer. Why the gravel train was
on the track at such a time is for those to explain who
have thus caused this fearful loss of life. .
Mr. Toms informs us that when he left the scene of the
disaster, it had been ascertained that 25 men, 11 women,
and 11 children had been killed, and 2L leen and 20 wo-
men and children badly injured—one-half probably fatally.
It was thought that as many as 15 dead bodies were still
buried in the ruins when be left. Oar reporter is now on
the spot, and will furnish additional particulars, which we
shall publish in en extra. Our citizens will rejoice to
know that Mr. Toms, and a son of S. H. Holmes, Esq.,
who were on board, have escaped uninjured.
11 o'Clock.—There are about 50 dead and 35 wounded.
Some whole families are killed, and no trace can be found
of their names or residence. Everything is being done to
alleviate the suffering of the wounded. Physicians have
arrived on the ground from Chatham. G. V. Nutter, the
conductor, is doing everything in his power for the dis-
tressed.

very great disorder among the enemies' ranks. But
this troop, carried away too far from us, suffered
severely. After sabreing the gunners of two bat-
teries, they returned, after a loss of 150 men.
" During this time my brigade of the Chasseurs
d'Afrique, on the left of the English army in the
plain, endeavoured to come to its assistance, which
it succeeded in doing by a bold and much-remarked
manoeuvre, which consisted in attacking on the
left a battery of artillery and some battalions,
which it drove back, and who had been keeping
up a murderous fire on the English. We lost about
twenty men killed and wounded, and two officers.
The loss of the enemy on this point was consider-
able, and our Chasseurs were allowed to retreat in
good order, without being annoyed. Night put
an end to this combat.
" On the following day the Russians made a
sortie from the town, and. attacked, in the direc-

tion of Inkerman, the English division under Sir
De Lacy Evans, which protects the siege-works.
Received by a murderous fire, with that solidity
which characterises our Allies, the Russians left
more than 300 dead upon the field, and were pur-
sued to the very outworks of the place, leaving
about 100 prisoners. This short and sharp affair
was very brilliant, and certainly compensated for
the disasters of the preceding day.

FRANCE.

It is a circumstance worthy of note, that the
Moniteur in confirming the retreat of the Russians
upon the Sereth, says the Turks will doubtless
immediately occupy the capital of Wallachia. This
seems to imply that the retreat of Omer Pacha
behind the Danube, insisted upon by Austria at
the court of Constantinople, has not ultimately
been conceded to this doubtful ally.

THE CHOLERA AT GALLIPOLI.

It was understood in Paris on Monday, that no
less than four French generals had died of cholera
at Gallipoli. Their names are Generals Allonville,
Levaillant, D'Aurelle de Paladine, and do Monet.
The first-named general was well known in Paris.
He marched into Paris from Versailles at the head
of the carabineers on the day of the coup d'etat,
and has ever since been high in the confidence of
Marshal St. Arnaud. General Trochu, the head
of the staff of the army of the East, was reported
to be in a hopeless state when the boat which
brought this intelligence left. His death would be
an irreparable loss to the army. He is an officer of
first-rate abilities, and has been the life and soul of
all the arrangements since the expeditionary force
left France. The colonel of the 13th Regiment of
the line (quartered at Gallipoli) is dead. Since su-
perior officers are not more liable to cholera than the
soldiers—but rather less so, on account of their
power to command greater comforts—this extraor-
dinary proportion of deaths among them implies a
frightful amount of mortality in the ranks. It is
said that General Couston, who lately went out
with troops for Gallipoli, declined, on his own re-
sponsibility, to land them there when he found
how destructive the epidemic had been, and sailed
on to Varna. The cholera is at Varna also, but
not in a very malignant form. General Trochu
was there, and not at Gallipoli, and although he
was reported to be in extreinis, it is permitted to
hope that he may recover.
We find the following in a Malta letter of
the 2d :

" The cholera is very bad at Gallipoli. The French
have already lost two generals—Ney and Carabuc-
cia—about 25 officers, and 550 men. The 4th
Regiment (English) had lost about 20 ; when my
informant (an officer in that regiment) left there
were 80 men in the hospital ; and on the 24th of
July there were six deaths, all, decided cases of
cholera. The heat was intolerable, often with the
thermometer at 109 in the tents, and the water
was very bad indeed."

Sir J. PAKINGTON had been given to understand
that Acts of Constitution had been transmitted to this

Wales, South Australia, and Victoria, each containing
the principle of a nominated upper chamber, and he

tended to take with regard to these acts.
Sir G. GREY said it was quite time that such acts
had been received, but they could be confirmed without

Lord J. RUSSELL then moved that the house do

Lord HOTHAM objected to these amendments, and

LIVERPOOL—AuGusT 8.

At this day's market there was only a small attendance
of. buyers, and the business done was entirely for consume'
tion. Fine wheat and flour, owing to their extreme scar-
city, brought the rates of Tuesday last, being an advance
of 4d to 6d per 701 b. on the former, and is to is 6d Per
barrel and sack on the latter article ; middling and infe-
rior descriptions, however, being more plentiful, lost e
portion of the late advance. Oats and oatmeal barely
supported the prices of Tuesday. Barley, beans, and peas
quite neglected, and 2d per 601 b. and 2s per qr. lower•
Indian corn brought is per qr. more money.

CONSTANTINOPLE.

According to a letter of the 26th July, the
workmen at the arsenal at Cronstadt are employed
night and. day on the gun-boats that have been
ordered by Rear-Admiral Boxer. The contractors
have engaged themselves to deliver the boats (30
in number) on or about the 10th of August.
The Trebizond steamer has just arrived with the
mail. The Russians had crossed the Arpa Chai,
and had advanced as far as Godikler, near Little
Ararat. The Turks at Kars, after holding a long
war council, decided to act on the defensive, and
wait the approach of the enemy. Prince Daltah
Guriel, who had deserted from General Androni-
koff's army, and joined that of Selim Pacha at
Batoum, had been poisoned by a Russian spy.
Sidi Mohamed has just arrived here from Tunis
with a large sum of money, in the shape of a volun-
tary contribution from the Viceroy of that pro-
vince, towards defraying the war expenses. The
celebrated Circassian chief Naid Emin, has an-
nounced his intention of visiting Constantinople,
in order to make arrangements for a regular supply
of arms and ammunition for the mountains. He is
expected here by the next Black Sea steamer.
Piracy is on the increase in the Archipelago, and
if measures are not adopted, not a single British
vessel will dare to venture in these parts.
