ROYAL MARINES FOR THE WAR.

Lieut. Colonel Graham, of the Plymouth division, has
been ordered to hold himself in readiness to proceed to
the Baltic by an early opportunity, to join the flag-ship
of Sir Charles Napier, for the purpose of commanding the,
Royal Marines of the fleet, who may now hourly be ex-
pected to be brought into active service. It is expected
that at least two other field-officers will be appointed to
the Baltic fleet to assist Lieutenant Colonel Graham, and
it is to be hoped that a proper and efficient staff will also
be appointed, otherwise the number of company officers
must be much reduced for the purpose of filling the ne-
cessary staff appointments, and which would have a
damaging effect of leaving the companies without a suf-
ficient number of officers to command them ; as it is,
the Royal Marines have less officers in proportion to the
strength of the companies than any other corps under
' the Crown. The selection of Lieutenant Colonel Graham

DZAWBAMES.—The following ' te
lords have had
the Lords of the Treasury and furnished to the
guid-
ance Cor-
n
under their consideration
memorials from several sugar refiners, which represent
If:7; Yeir°iB:o
the necessity of fixing some intermediate drawbacks
upon refined sugar, other than those contemplated and
fixed by the sugar acts of last session, in consequence of
the abolition of refining in bond ; and my lords refer 111
the provisions of the act of parliament which contem-
plates the introduction of new drawbacks. Upon a full
consideration of the case, and after communication with
the trade and the Customs authorities, my lords decide,
in the meantime .to allow the rates .of 15a. per owl of
drawtack on refined stored sugar, and of 11. s. per old;
on bastard sugars, to remain as provided by the act, but
they decide t 4, introduce two intermediate drawback. as
applicable to the different qualities of usstored, erushed,
or pounded sugars. Adverting, however, to the dill-
culty of administering the regulations in respect to draw-
backs, and to the few ports to which the refining of sugar
is confined, my lords think it necessary. to limit, at least
for the present, the privilege of exporting sugars
under the intermediate. drawbacks to the following
ports, viz. I—London, Liverpool, Bristol, Glsego* sod

SPAIN.

MADRID, Sept. 25. The Gazette publishes
letters from the Spanish Consuls at Marseilles and
Nice, contradicting the reports which had been
spread relative to the ravages of the cholera. The
Princess of the Asturias is slightly indisposed. A.
report is current that her Majesty is in an interest-
ing situation. A certain degree of uneasiness per-
vades the public mind in Madrid ; fears are enter-
tained that the enemies of the Government aro
seeking to bring about disturbances.
London, England, 1854-09-29

THE PRINCIPALITIES.

From Bucharest, of the 17th inst., we learn that
Omer Pacha has received the order of the Bath
from her Britannic Majesty Queen Victoria ; as
also that all the municipal authorities in Wallachia
were commanded by superior order, dated the sth
inst., forthwith to have the proclamation of the
Austrian generalissimo, Baron von Hess, publicly
read in their respective districts in the most solemn
manner.

The Turks, under Mustapha Pacha, are throwing
up batteries on the left bank of the Pruth, in sight
of the Russians at Reni, who have not attempted
any opposition. General Luders' head-quarters
were at Tultschkow on the 18th. The Russian
Danubian flotilla is still in the harbour of Ismail,
and the Russians are extending the fortifications
of the harbour. The Russians have assumed a
strictly defensive attitude. The Turkish troops
began to cross the Danube at Giurgevo on the 16th
inst. The whole of the Egyptian auxiliary troops
passed through Giurgevo on that day, and a Turkisk
Nizam brigade, with cavalry and artillery, on the
day following. The whole of the Turkish troops
from Bucharest, with the exception of 'only two
battalions, to remain as a garrison, were expected
to arrive at Giurgevo before the end of the month.
Omer Pacha was at Rustchuk on the 16th, and it
was anticipated that he would leave there for
Schumla on the 18th or 19th. Omer Pacha's cara
sposa is very much attached to her birthplace
(tiomrod, near Reps). Some short time back she
sent 100 gold ducats to each of hersisters at Homrod.
The reinstatement of Prince Stirbey as hospodar
of 'Wallachia, and his approachilw arrival. at Bu-
charest,. were utlicially announced by Dervili Pacha
to the Wallachian administrative authorities on the
L 20th inst. The Austrian field hospital, No. 1, has

arrived at Bucharest. The excellent arrangements
of this establishment excited much admiration.
Omer Pacha repeatedly visited it, and it is antici-
pated that in future the Turkish field hospitals will
be formed upon the Austrian model. With respect
to the tribute due from the principality of Walla-
chia, the Porte has instructed Dervish Pacha to
accept any reasonable propositions, and not to
forego all payment, as was recently reported would
be the case.
Baron Hess arrived at Bucharest on the 20th,
was received by the authorities on his entry with
great ceremony, and a grand parade took place in
celebration of his presence.

RUMOURED PURCHASE OF CUBA.

The Washington correspondent of the New York
Herald asserts that he has reason to believe that
Cuba has been already purchased by the United
States. He says : ,
"It is whispered about the State Department and ill
the White Howie that despatches or letters have been
received from Mr. Soule, our Minister at Madrid, of an
arrangement made with the new Government of Spain
for the purchase of the island of Cuba. They came,
it is said, by the Africa. There is no particular
necessity for my vouching for this statement in these
slippery diplomatic times, but my authority is god—
theo very best for the whisper at any rate. There is no
mistake about that. What is more, it is said that Eng-
land and France, and especially the latter, favour the
sale from motives of sound international policy. Strange
as all this may appear to those who will not believe in
the purchase of the Queen of the Antilles, I have an
opinion—an individual opinion—that the purchase has
been made. But at all events, nous verrons. Then I
will send further particulars."

THE REVENUE.—The new plan for at4sirnilating the
financial to the natural year will not, as regards the
making up of the public accounts, be cerried into effect
immediately. The revenue returns for the current
quarter will, accordingly, be carried up to the 10th of
October, as heretofore.

RUSSIA.

Accounts from St. Petersburg of the 23d state
that the Russian Government has just published a
ukase relative to a new issue of paper :money to
the amount of six millions of roubles (series 21 and
22), with interest from the 13th ult.
The Cologne Gazette has the following from
Odessa, dated the 14th :—"Yesterday notice was
given to the public that the prohibition to export
corn, which had expired, is to remain in force
until further orders. This prohibition is super-
fluous as we cannot export anything. The corn
stores of the merchant Waslymkovr, on the Peres-
sipi, and all that they contained have been burned
down."
London, England, 1854-09-29

PRUSSIA.

The following is an extract from a letter dated
Berlin, Sept. 26 :—" Even at this distance from
the scene of action in the South we are not without.
our news and our reports. I hear that this Go-
vernment has received telegraphic communications
from St. Petersburg of certain despatches forwarded
thither by Prince Menschikoff from the Crimea.
According to the first of these, the Russians were
concentrating their troops subsequent to the
landing, and intended to offer battle at a position
they had taken up at a place called Burliuk, on
the banks of the Alma River. The other piece
of news is that Prince Menschikoff had tele-
graphed to St. Petersburg that the fleet had sailed
out of harbour at Sebastopol for the purpose
9f intercepting the flotilla with the reserve on
board that it was to fetch from Varna. I can
readily believe that Menschikoff has telegraphed
the above to St. Petersburg. He is in the habit
of communicating whatever his fancy suggests and
his judgment tells him is likely to please,—for in-
stance, his late communications with regard to the
satisfactory state of the coast defences. If the
fleet has really put out of harbour at all, without
returning at once, it has been for the purpose of
making the best of its way to the port, of which we
are told that its name has been confided only to the
Russian admiral, as a haven of safety to resort to,
supposing the fleet to have succeeded in breaking
through the line of battle of the allies."
A letter from Berlin of the 25th, in the Cologne
Gazette, says :—" The King of Prussia left this
morning for Potsdam, on his way to Silesia. The
negotiations with Austria are going on. The de-
claration of Austria that the Danubian provinces
could be occupied by the allied forces has produced
a great sensation hero. The disbanding of the re-
serves of the Guard has commenced, but only the
soldiers of the infantry, whose time is up, are dis-
missed.

A letter from Berlin says :—" The Grand Duke
and Grand Duchess of Mecklenberg have just pro-
ceeded to Vienna, to pay a visit to the Court. This
visit is said to be connected with a desire for an
arrangement which is believed to have taken place
lately between the Cabinet of Vienna and several
of the small German Governments."

ATHENS, SEPT. 22.

Mavrocordato is still opposed to the proposal of
quartering 2,500 French troops at Athens this
winter.

DESPATCH FROM MARSHAL ST. ARNAUD.

It has just been stated that a telegraphic
despatch has been received from Marshal St.
Arnaud, mentioning that everything was going on
well, but that an unavoidable delay of 48 hours
had occurred in his movement on Sebastopol.
If this be the case, it would explain the want of
intelligence since the landing.

TURKEY.

CONSTANTINOPLE, SEPT. 15 4 r.m.

Up to this time no steamers have arrived from.
the expedition, and we have reliable information
about the landing. A French steamer came in
this morning from Varna with some sick on board ;
she does not, however, bring anything from the
fleets. I therefore repeat that up to this time no-
thing is known. We are hourly expecting either
the Caradoc or Banshee from the expedition with
the first news.

Ismail Pacha, late second iu command on the
Danube under Omer Pacha, has arrived here on
his way to his new appointment of commander-in-
chief of the Ottoman army at Kars.

On Monday, Said Pacha, the new governor and
viceroy of Egypt, left Constantinople for Alex-
andria.

2,500 soldiers and 260 horses have arrived here
from Tunis. On Monday, Fuad Effendi returned
from his mission to Thessaly and Epirus, which
provinces have been totally pacified.
The Porte has accorded a further delay to Greece
of two months for the settlement of the pending
differences between the two Governments.

The Journal de Constantinople states, on the
faith of letters from the Blaek Sea, that some gun-
boats which had embarked 200 Russian soldiers at
Taganrog for the Crimea, had foundered in a gale
of wind, and all on board perished. Accounts had
been received that the Circassians, under the com-
mand of Daniel Bey, a relation of Schamyl, had
had two combats with the Russians, under the or-
ders of General Wrangel. In the first the Poles,
who formed part of the corps d'armee, deserted,
with two pieces of artillery, and made prisoners of
30 Cossacks who pursued them. After the second
combat the Russians fled, throwing two of their
pieces of artillery into a deep ravine, and the Cir-
cassians effected a junction with Schamyl at Zaka-
lala.

The same journal announces the arrival in that
city of Ismail Pasha, the ex-commandant of Kala-
fat, and the conqueror of Citate, who had come to
the capital to receive the reward of his dis-
tinguished services, having, as before announced,
been named Muchir by the Sultan, and ap-
pointed Commander-in-Chief of the army of
Anatolia. Omor Pasha, who had invited Ismail
Pasha to visit him at Bucharest before he set
out for Constantinople, parted from him with the
greatest regret, saying, in presence of his staff, that
in losing Ismail Pasha, he was losing his right arm.
On his road towards the capital the Turkish soldiers
wished to take his horses from his carriage and
draw him; when he at length dissuaded them froth
their purpose they insisted on escorting him to
Rustchuk, taking turns to lead the horses by their
bridles.

FRANCE.

The Emperor and Empress left Boulogne on
Wednesday for Sculecques, where some grand mili-
tary manoeuvres were to take place. On the pre-
vious day when, as we have before stated, their
Majesties wont to the camp at Honvault, the Em-
press examined with the greatest interest the
quarters of the soldiers, by whom she was received
with the greatest enthusiasm. On returning into
the town their Majesties alighted from their car-
riage at the entrance of the western jetty, and walked
to the extremity. of it. The Emperor exa,mine,l
what works might be undertaken for improving
the entrance of the port, which is very difficult in
blowing weather, The crowd, prinoipally coal

posed of the sailors and of fishermen of the port,
hailed their Majesties with loud acclamations.
" The rumour that the Emperor will visit the
camp in the south," says the d' "is
gaining ground more and more. It is said that his.
Majesty will occupy part of the Archiepiscopal.
Palace here, and will remain about a week, during
which time there will be grand manoeuvres at tll°
camp. The visit is expected to take place
October."

CORN EXCHANGE.

Fresh up to-day the arrivals of home-grown wheat were
very moderate, but of good quality. The show of samples
was by no means extensive. Most kinds were in fair re-
quest, at prices about equal to Monday last.
The show of foreign wheat was comparatively small.
Good heavy qualities were on steady demand, at full quo-
tations. Low and middling parcels moved off slowly, on
former terms..
Floating cargoes of grain were quite as dear as last week.
Grinding barley was firm ; but other kinds were a dull
inquiry.
The malt trade was steady at Monday's currency.
There was a slight improvement in the demand for oats,
and good sound corn waa the turn dearer.
Beans, peas, and flour realised full currencies.

We were moderately supplied with beasts to-day, but
their general quality was inferior. Most kinds moved off
steadily, and Monday's prices were well supported. Sheep,
the show of which was tolerably good, wore a dull sale;
yet we have no actual decline to notice in the quotations.
The supply of calves was far from extensive. The ♦eal
trade, however, was inactive, and inferior calves had a
downward tendency. Pigs sold slowly, on former terms.
Milch cows were dull, at from 11/. to 191. each, including
their small calf.

SPAIN.

MADRID, Sept. 25. The Gazette publishes
letters from the Spanish Consuls at Marseilles and
Nice, contradicting the reports which had been
spread relative to the ravages of the cholera. The
Princess of the Asturias is slightly indisposed. A.
report is current that her Majesty is in an interest-
ing situation. A certain degree of uneasiness per-
vades the public mind in Madrid ; fears are enter-
tained that the enemies of the Government are
seeking to bring about disturbances.

LIFE ASSURANCE.
MOST IMPORTANT BENEFIT EVER YET OFFERED BY

THE *UNIVERSAL PROVIDENT LIFE
ASSOClATlON.—Established 189.
- •

Persons insured for Life, who have paid three yearly premiums
and upwards, can receive back their money, lesi the premium for
the risk lueurred during the time tka were insured on surrender of
die policy-. " _

EXAMPLN.

A 11, aged 35, pays 141. 3s 9d. n-year for Life for 5001, and at the
end of seven yeas wishes to drop his Policy —he will at this time
have paid 951. Gs. 3d., and for the surrender of the Policy he would
in other offices get a very little, if anything, and the premiums
would consequently be lost.
The Directors of the UM fermi Provident, feeling this to be a great
hardship and a positive obstacle to the adoption of Life Assurance by
all classes, have adopted the equitable principle of.dedueting the pre-
mium for the time the risk has been incurred from the premiums
paid, and returning the balance to the parties, thus making a profit
themselves without any risk. In the example above the insurance
for 5001. for the time would have been 91. 98. 7d. per annum, or 661.
7s. Id.: this deducted from 991. 6s. 3d. loaves 32/. 19s. 2d. to be
returned. The advantage of this principle is peculiarly applicable
when PoliciPs are taken out to cover Loans.

" The Beagle gunboat arrived hero yesterday, and will
leave in the afternoon for the East. The Arrow gunboat
sailed on Sunday. The Harpy, from the Eastern fleet,
reached Constantinople on the 15th. The Caire was de-
spatched with her news without loss of time, and the
Euphrates, ready in Malta, proceeded to Marseilles imme-
diately after the arrival of the Caire."
This letter proceeds to give the following version of the
landing of the allied troops in the Crimea :
"The allied fleets (ono division) left Baltschik on the
sth and 6th inst., the second division on the 9th. The
Serpent's Isle was fixed as a place of rendezvous. This
they all reached on the 10th, and on the 11th got under•
way for the Crimea, with 32,000 French, 25,000 English,
and 13,000 Turks on board, and on the 13th, at 10 a.m.,
came to anchor in deep water in the Bay of Dalmatia, op-
poeite the town and citadel of Koslov, Eupatoria, 30 miles
north of Sebastopol. When the steamer left, 4,003 men
had landed. The citadel was taken possession of without
opposition, and the disembarking of the remainder of the
troops was proceeding rapidly."

REPORTS PROCEEDINGS IN THE GULF OF MOTOR O.
Her Majesty's ship Miranda, at sea, August 29.
Sir,—l have the honour to inform you that, having
heard from some of the crews of the prizes taken in Lits-
cha Fiord that Russian merchant vessels had lately been
concealed in Titoro Bay and Novo Zembla Harbour, both
in the Gulf of Motoro, and conceiving it not impossible
that men-of-war might have taken shelter in the latter, I
thought I should be carrying out the spirit of your orders
by examining these places while in the neighbourhood. I
accordingly did so, but found only two luggers, one of
which, having a Norwegian pass, I released ; the other,
after converting the available part into firewood, 'scuttled.
2. In Titoro Bay the ship, while going from two to three
knots, grounded forward on a steep sand bank (her stern
being in 10 fathoms water), but floated off again on the
tide rising, without receiving any damage ; and in enter-
ing Nova Zembla Harbour she touched forward, while at
a slow speed, but backed off again immediately, also with-
out sustaining any damage. Both these occurrences were
occasioned by the inaccuracy of the chart.
3. On my return I passed through the channel, between
Rildinu Island and the Main, but found no vessels.—l
have the honour to be, sir, your obedient servant,
E. M. DroNs, Captain.
Captain E. Ommanney, her Majesty's ship Eurydice,
Senior Officer of White Sea Squadron.

The following is a list of captured Russian vessels burnt
or destroyed by her Majesty's steam-ship Miranda, between
the 24th and the 31st of August, 1851:—A lugger, 57
tons, laden with salt fish, burnt ; a lugger, 63 tons, laden
with salt fish and five casks of oil, burnt ; a lugger, 67
tons, laden with salt fish and rye flour, burnt ; a lugger,
35 tons, laden with salt fish, burnt, names unknown, cap-
tured the 24th of August. A lugger, 61 tons, laden with
salt fish, scuttled, name unknown, captured the 28th of
August. A lugger, 55 tons, laden with rye flour, scuttled,
name unknown, captured the 29th of August.

The following is a list of Russian merchant vessels cap-
tured by her Majesty's steam-ship Miranda in Litscha
Fiord, on the 24th of August :

W. Marthorp, acting mate, and seven seamen.
The Dwina, brigantine, 139 tons, laden with salt fish.
Sent to England in charge of :Mr. Edward C. Smyth, act-
ing second mate, and six seamen.

PRUSSIA.

The following is an extract from a letter dated
Berlin, Sept. 26 :—" Even at this distance from
the scene of action in the South we are not without
our news and our reports. I hear that this Go-
vernment has received telegraphic communications
from St. Petersburg of certain despatches forwarded
thither by Prince Menschikoff from the Crimea.
According to the first of these, the Russians were
concentrating their troops subsequent to the
landing, and intended to offer battle at a position
they had taken up at a place called Burliuk, on
the banks of the Alma River. The other piece
of news is that Prince Menschikoff had tele-
graphed to St. Petersburg that the fleet had sailed
out of harbour at Sebastopol for the purpose
of intercepting the flotilla with the reserve on
board that it was to fetch from Varna. I can
readily believe that Menschikoff has telegraphed
the above to St. Petersburg. He is in the habit
of communicating whatever his fancy suggests and
his judgment tells him is likely to please,—for in-
stance, his late communications with regard to the
satisfactory state of the coast defences. If the
fleet has really put out of harbour at all, without
returning at once, it lfas been for the purpose of
making the best of its way to the port, of which we
are told that its name has been confided only to the
Russian admiral, as a haven of safety to resort to,
supposing the fleet to have succeeded in breaking
through the line of battle of the allies."
A letter from Berlin of the 25th, in the Cologne
Gazette, says :—" The King of Prussia left this
morning for Potsdam, on his way to Silesia. The
negotiations with Austria are going on. The de-
claration of Austria that the Danubian provinces
could be occupied by the allied forces has produced
a great sensation here. The disbanding of the re-
serves of the Guard has commenced, but only the
soldiers of the infantry, whose time is up, are dis-
missed.

A letter from Berlin says :—" The Grand Duke
and Grand Duchess of Mecklenberg have just pro-
ceeded to Vienna, to pay a visit to the Court. This
visit is said to be connected with a desire for an
arrangement which is believed to have taken place
lately between the Cabinet of Vienna and several
of the small German Governments."

ELECTIOIf OF LORD MAYOR (THIS DAY;

To-day, being Michaelmas-day, a Common Hall was
held at the Guildhall, for th• purpose of electing an
alderman to fill the office of Lord Mayor for the year
ensuing.

The two aldermen next in rotation were Mr. Alder-
man Moon, and Mr. Alderman Salomons.
Previous to the election the Lord Mayor, Aldermen,
Sheriffs, and other officers of the corporation, attended
divine service at the church of St. Michael's, Bassishaw,
Basinghall-street, owing to the church,of St. Lawrance,
Jewry being under repair.
The annual sermon was preached by the Lord Mayor's
chaplain, the Rev. Mr. Moon,
The sermon, as usual, will be printed, and the Com•
mon Council will vote the rev. gentleman a sum of fifty
guineas.

At the conclusion of the service the Lord Mayor,
Aldermen, &c., returned to the Court of Aldermen.
A court of Common Hall of the Livery was afterwards
held, and the election was made in the usual way.

THE EXPERIMENTS ON BOARD THE
EXCELLENT.

The gunnery experiments from the stage off the Excel-
lent in Portsmouth Harbour at the iron target placed at
the butt (GOO yards range) were continued yesterday in the
presence of Admirals Berkeley, Sir T. Cochrane, Martin,
Captain Sir B. Walker, Sir T. Maitland, and a number of
scientific gentlemen. The gun was a 95 cwt. gun, of 8-inch
bore, with charges of Mb. of powder. The practice much
surpassed that previously reported, and many of the shot
on striking the iron. target were broken to atoms. The
shots striking the woodwork made very good effect. Twice
during the practice the admirals in their barges went and
inspected the results, and found tho target deeply indent-
ed—a great increase upon the indentation of one inch and.
a-half made by the firing of the 33-pound ehot on the pre-
ceding day.
