RUSSIA.

Letters from Russia state that the Czar has
issued an ukase, dated the 15th, conferring upon
General Schulgin the government of St. Peters-
burg, vice the Hereditary Prince, who commands
the Guards now marching towards Poland.
The Wanderer of Vienna of the 26th says :
" Several letters from Warsaw on which reliance
may be placed, state that the Hereditary Grand
Duke will arrive in that city at the eud of this
month, and take the command of the guards who
have arrived in, and are on their march towards,
that city.
The following, from the Odessa journal of the
6th of October, shows that the governor of that
place, General Annenkoff 11., is resolved not to be
inexpert in hatching " Muscovy ducks"
"On the 29th September one of the enemy's steamers,
which had for some time been cruising off our harbour,
chased two barques laden with wood coining from Cherssn .
One of these boats was captured by the enemy and
taken in tow ; the other succeeded in running aground
near Dosinoweka, about a musket-shot from the
beach. The steamer sent three boats, the crews
armed with rifles ; but cur gallant Cossacks of the 2d
sotnia, 37th Don Regiment, hastened to the shore and
defended the boat with well•directed shots. In vain
the enemy showered shots of all kind, even grape, from
the steamer—in vain they U`sl.-liarged their rifles from
their boats—our Cossacks dauntlessly sustained the
combat, the enemy retired, and the defended boat re-
mained in our possession. Oa our side, fortunately,
we had neither killed nor wounded. The loss of the
enemy is unknown.
"On the 20th (old style) twe enemy's steamers ap-
proached the shore near the Cossack station of Grigo-
riewka, with the intention of taking possession of a raft
laden with timber. For this purpose they sent off a
boat, and opened a heavy fire against the 4th setnir of the
37th Don Regiment, which was thrown out in a chain of
tirailleurs. But scarcely had the boat reached the raft
and•fastened ropes to tow it off, ere our brave Cossacks,'
regardless of their small numbers, opened such a sharp
fire that the enemy was compelled to abandon his enter
prise, and retire without effecting the same.
God be
praised ! we had no loss during this combat. &c."

THE BLACK SEA FLEET.

A private letter from an officer on board the fleet gives
an interesting account of the late cruise of the Agamemnon,
Terrible, Highflyer, Inflexible, and Sanspareil, convoying
Turkish troop-ships :
" We cruised along the Circassian coast to the Russian
fortifications, at the river Poti, as far as Fort Rouly or
Redout Kaleh. As we stood close in, there seemed to be
great excitement, and all the troops hastened to the forts.
After taking a good survey of it we returned to Batoum,
to pick up our ships. The Russians did not hoist their
flag.
" If war should really be declared, the destruction of all
the small forts on the Circassian coast is cut out for the
flying squadron, as we are called, and free the coast for
the Circassians, who will soon make the Russians move ;
for if attacked by sea the mountaineers will be down on
them in the rear, and the 17,000 Turks will be able, under
the protection of the allied fleet, to march along the coast.
There is deep water within musket shot of the shore.
" Having called again at Sinope to let the Turks coal,
we returned to our anchorage here (Buyukdere). During
the trip we had but one rough day. The weather was de-
lightful, and but for the thousand and one reports to the
contrary, I should think that the winters of the Euzine
were much enlarged upon. True, the country was covered
with snow, but the days were mild. We did not see a
Russian during our cruise ; no great wonder, since they
are enchained in Sebastopol, off which place are the Fun-
ous and Firebrand, with two French steamers, watching
movements.
" The steamers are now coaling, and anxiously waiting
the next move on board. It is to be hoped that the next
card played by the Czar will be a good one, or it will cer-
tainly be ruffed.
" Every one will be disappointed if there should be no
war, for all are elated with hope, and ready for the fight,
even to the boys.
" Of all the ships in the steam squadron the Agamem-
non must bear the palm, steaming with the greatest ease
her 11 knots. The Sanspareil is a sad specimen—neither
steams nor sails. Were a Russian fleet to be fallen in
with, she must be towed nearly all the way by the Ter-
rible. The French screw is little better, and must be
towed. The Highflyer is a beauty. It is really a sight every
night to witness the Turkish steamers. They take shelter
under the wings of their allies as a brood of chickens dis-
turbed by an enemy. —Plymouth Journal.

SACRED HARMONIC SOCIETY.

Her Majesty the Queen, with Prince Albert, the Princess
Alice, and suite, was present at the performance last
night. The programme comprised Mendelssohn's Lobgesang
(" Hymn of Praise"), anti Mozart's Requiem. The illus-
trious party arrived just before the beginning of the Re-
quiem, and were welcomed by a loyal and hearty demon-
stration ; after which the " National Anthem" was sung,
with impressive effect, by the vast body of chorus and in-
strumentalists composing the orchestra of the Sacred Har-
monic Society. Miss Birch gave the solos. The hall was
crammed to suffocation. Tne utmost order, however, pre-
vailed, and the performance was listened to with strict at-
tention from first to last.
The Lobgesang and the Requiem together constitute an
almost exceptional entertainment. The interest excited
by a comparison of two works of such opposite styles and
periods is of itself enough to repay the attentive hearer.
Mozart was born in 1756, and died in 1791; Mendelssohn
was born in 1809 (18 years after the death of Mozart), and
died in 1847. But genius belongs to no age, and though
in the Requiem and the Lobgesang—which were written
with the lapse of half a century between them—music
seems to speak in different languages, it addresses itself
to the heart in both.
Th. Lobgesang has been mush better performed than
last night in every respect but one. The tenor music was
sung by Mr. Sims Reeves as it has possibly, never been
sung before ; and the thrilling recitative, We called
through the darkness, Watchman, will the night soon
pass?"' which leads to the magnificent chorus, "The night
is departing," was given by that gentleman with a depth
of meaning and a dramatic effect which could hardly be
surpassed. The choruses, on the whole, were tamely and
coarsely sung ; and the first of the three instrumental
movements was by no means well executed.
But the Queen came to hear the Requiem, and it is only
just to the members of the Sacred Harmonic Society to
say that on no other occasion, and in no other place, have
we listened to so admirable a performance of that sublime
work. The choruses were superb—remarkable alike for
vigour, precision, delicacy, and point. The solo singers
were Misses Birch and Dolby, Mr. Sims Reeves, and Herr
Formes, who were all so good that it would be invidious
to single out any of them for special praise. It was the
first appearance this season of Herr Formes, whose fine
bass voice souaded as deep and mellow as the pedal pipes
of an organ in the solemn phrase at the beginning of
"Tuba mirum," which he declaimed with appropriate
emphasis and dignity. On appearing in the orchestra,
previous to the commencement of the Requiem, Heir
Formes was honoured by the audience with a round of
applause.
Mr. Costa is entitled to unqualified praise for the pains
he must have taken in rehearsing the Requiem. Had the
Lobgesang of Mendelssohn been as lucky, the performance
of last night would have been one to remember. Both
works are to be repeated shortly.
On retiring from the hall her laajeNty was again enthu-
aatically cheered.

TRIESEMAR, protected by Royal Letters
Patent of England, and secured by the Seals of the Ecole de
Pharmacie de Paris, and the Imperial College of Medicine, Vienna.
The long continuance of certain diseaes arising from impurities,
while it tends to render detection more certain, and thus frequently
to embitter the domestic hearth, also serves to excite feelings of dis-
appointment, and to induce lowness of spirits, and other sensations
of a most painful kind. The TRIESRMAR effectually, in the short
space of three days, completely and entirely eradicates all traces of
these Diseases, to whatever stage they may have advanced, possess-
ing at the same time the manifest advantages of being utterly devoid
of taste or smell, and of all nauseating qualities. It may lie Et the
toilet table without its use being suspected.

Just published, in 2,400 pages, the MARCII Edition of the
POST OFFICE LONDON DIRECTORY
FOR 1854.
The March publication liaS hitherto consisted of the same sheets
as in the Christmas edition; but this year every copy of the work
has been disposed of, notwithstanding that the edition was the largest
ever produced : it has therefore been necessary entirely to reprint
the volume.

Advantage has been taken of the sheets passing through the press
to introduce emendations in all parts of the book ; besides which the
divisions entitled respectively " Official Directory," " Postal Direc-
tory," and " Parliamentary Directory," have been entirely recom-
piled and corrected to the time of publication.
" Another improvement has been adopted in this edition ; the Ex-
ternal Index has been so arranged that the commencement and
conclusion o" each division is clearly defined, without the unsightly
notches which," &c.—Morning Chronicle, March, 16, 1854.
" By this simple device, the Directories are most strikingly sepa-
rated from each other, and the facility of reference the more imme-
diately secured."—Morning Herald, March 16, 1854.
"Yon have only to place the book on its back, and at a glance you
can pick out any one of the numerous guides of which it Is made up."
—Sun, March 16, 1854.

" Will add to the ease with which the book may ke referred to and
augments to its utility."—Economist, March 18, 1854.
"It has been now so arranged that the commencement and con-
clusion of each division is clearly defined without unsightly notches.'
—Observer, March 19, 1854. '
"We can testify from experience to the convenience of this ar-
rangement, which leaves nothing to be desired."—Atlas, March 18,
1854.

" Huge volume as easy of reference as a mere pamphlet, without
in the slightest degree disfiguring the external appearance of the
book."—Britannia, March 18, 1854.
"An index by means of colours and typography on the front edge
of the book, to enable the inquirer to turn at once to the section he

THE EMPEROR NAPOLEON.

While we acknowledge with satisfaction the effect pro-
duced throughout Europe by the publication of the "secret
and confidential" correspondence of Russia with this coun-
try, we are not less gratified by ithe additional proofs it
has afforded us of the sincerity of the French alliance.
The Emperor of Russia, no doubt, expected when he chal-
lenged the British Ministers to produce these documents,
either that they had been kept secret from the French
Cabinet, or that they would in some manner contribute to
impair the mutual confidence of the two States. Not
only has this malignant anticipation been utterly dis-
appointed, but, on the contrary, this incident has furnished
to both Governments, and to the public in both countries,
irrefragable evidence to each of the good faith of their re-
spective ally; and the case is rendered stronger by the fact
that the propositions of Russia were in both instances
made separately, and separately rejected. We do not
hesitate to declare that the conduct of the Emperor Louis
Napoleon in this transaction deservedly raises him to
an honourable position in Europe, and gives us reason to
hope that all his dealings may be regulated by the same
strict observance of good faith. As a representative of mo-
narchical principles and of those sentiments which ought to be
met with upon thrones, it is impossible not to draw a contrast
between the honest firmness of a Sovereign who won his crown
amid the tumult of a revolution, and the character which
the most orthodox Emperor Nicholas has earned for in-
tegrity, or the King of Prussia for an enlightened con-
sideration of the public interests. They have contrived to
place Louis Napoleon immeasurably above the position in
which they stand, for in the dispassionate judgment of
Europe the respect he has shown for treaties, and his mode-
ration in the exercise of his power abroad, have done more
to raise his character and consolidate his power than if he
had imitated the exploits of his uncle, and filled the world
with his fame.— Times.

THE COMBINED FLEETS.

By letters from the fleet in the Bosphorus dated the
Bth and 12th inst. respectively, we are informed of the
following movements :

-- ...
" Beicos Bay, March 8.
" The united fleets continue at anchor here. The Samp-
son, accompanied by a French steam-frigate, will shortly
leavefor the Black Sea to reconnoitre. The Russian forts
on the Circassian coast will claim their special notice.
" The Caradoc proceeds to Varna to-morrow with Gene-
ral Sir J. Burgoyne and staff, who immediately on arrival
start for Shumla, to confer and advise with Omer Pasha.
" The Banshee has just arrived with the mail of the 24th
from Malta.
" The Ardent proceeds on the 10th to Malta. Lieutenant
Grylls, of the Sanspareil, has been appointed to command
her, vice Lieutenant Pritchard.
" Lieutenant De Vere, of the Sampson, has exchanged
with Lieutenant Piers, of the Albion."
" Constantinople, March 12.
" The Agamemnon, Highflyer, Sanspariel, Terrible, and
Caradoc are lying at Bujukdere. All the rest of the
squadron are lying at Beicos, with the exception of the
Retribution at Therapia (since gone with the French
steam-frigate Caton on special service), and the Tiger at
Constantinople.
" The Caradoc arrived yesterday morning from Varna,

PLYM, n'TH, 'MARCH 24.—The American ship Ann Kem-
ble, Cap to in Pike, entered the Sound this afternoon with
five feet vnlter in her hold, having been in contact at half-
past one this morning with the bark Bonetta, belonging to
Liverpo, d. The bark registers 267 tons, and was bound
from Pe suambuco with sugar for Hamburgh. She had
been int,* Fowey, and left that port with the captain's wife
on board:. 4n Wednesday evening. At the time of the dis-
aster th, s 'start bore S.S.E., distance 19 miles, wind N.E.
by N., weather hazy; she was under all her canvas, and
had he r port tacks on board; the helmsman mistook
the Am erican's light for the Portland light, and when too
late poi ted his helm. The bark was struck on the bend
of the port bow, and, being heavily laden, went down
almost in unediately head foremost. The master, W.
W. Taw, mate, Richard Colings, and second mate, John
Border, v 'ere the only persons saved. The American was
of 1' OM t, ins burden, and being in ballast was high out of
1 the w.atet-, so that the bark's foroyarl only reached the
ship's I)ul•warks at the time of contact. The Ann Kemble
was bo ant I from London to Cadiz, and was under courses,
topsails., topgallantsails, mainroyal, jib, spanker, maintop-
mast st. Lys ail, on the starboard tack, steering west by north.
Her ste in is split, and woodends started, and she has gone
up Cat% vator to repair.
Eleve: a persons belonging to the Bonetta were unfortu-
nately d row med—viz., Mrs. Taw, the master's wife ; James
M'Donal &me:, of Dublin, ship's carpenter; Luke Kaney, of
Wexfor, 1; 'William Bird, of Newcastle; Daniel Morris, of
Fishguaz ; and John Jones, of Liverpool, able seamen ;
William. Watkins, of Plymouth, steward; Daniel Lamb,

THE BLACK SEA FLEET.

A private letter from an officer on board the fleet gives
an interesting account of the late cruise of the Agamemnon,
Terrible, Highflyer, Inflexible, and Sanspareil, convoying
Turkish troop-ships :
" We cruised along the Circassian coast to the Russian
fortifications, at the river Poti, as far as Fort Rouly or
Redout Kaleh. As we stood close in, there seemed to be
great excitement, and all the troops hastened to the forts.
After taking a good survey of it we returned to Batoum,
to pick up our ships. The Russians did not hoist their
flag.
" If war should really be declared, the destruction of all
the small forts on the Circassian coast is cut out for the
flying squadron, as we are called, and free the coast for
the Circassians, who will soon make the Russians move ;
for if attacked by sea the mountaineers will be down on
them in the rear, and the 17,000 Turks will be able, under
the protection of the allied fleet, to march along the coast.
There is deep water within musket shot of the shore.
" Having called again at Sinope to let the Turks coal,
we returned to our anchorage hero (Buyukdere). During
the trip we had but one rough day. The weather was de-
lightful, and but for the thousand and one reports to the
contrary, I should think that the winters of the Euxine
were much enlarged upon. True, the country was covered
with snow, but the days were mild. We did not see a
Russian during our cruise ; no great wonder, since they
are enchained in Sebastopol, off which place are the Furi-
ous and Firebrand, with two French steamers, watching
movements.
" The steamers are now coaling, and anxiously waiting
the next move on board. It is to be hoped that the next
card played by the Czar will be a good one, or it will cer-
tainly be ruffed.
" Every one will be disappointed if there should be no
war, for all are elated with hope, and ready for the fight,
even to the boys.
" Of all the ships in the steam squadron the Agamem-
non must bear the palm, steaming with the greatest ease
her 11. knots. The Sanspareil is a sad specimen—neither
steams nor sails. Were a Russian fleet to be fallen in
with, she must be towed nearly all the way by the Ter-
rible. The French screw is little better, and must be
towed. The High flyer is a beauty. It is really a sight every
night to witness the Turkish steamers. They take shelter
under the wings of their allies as a brood of chickens die-
turbed by an enemy."—Plymouth Journal.

BRISTOL SUGAR-MARCH 24.

We have experienced a very quiet market this wi ttek.
The sales have only amounted to about 300 hogshead s of
Barbacioes, upon which a decline of is per cwt. has 1 ►een
submitted to by the importers. In refined goods there has
been but little doing, and it is probable that any attempt
to force sales would result in a decline in values.

MILITIA.

Mr. M. MILNES asked the Secretary-at-War whether,
in the new arrangements respecting militia officers, it was
intended to give colonels' pay to lieutenant-colonels com-
manding, while on duty, and while incurring the same ex-
penses as full colonels ?
Mr. S. HERBERT replied in the negative.
POOR REMOVAL.
Mr. HENLEY asked Lord J. Russell, or the Secretary
of State for the Home Department, whether the Govern-
ment proposed to extend the provisions of the Settlement
and Removal Bill, so as to affect and abolish the power of
removal of Scotch and Irish paupers from England, and of
Irish and English paupers from Scotland ?
;Lord J. RUSSELL said the Government intended to in-
troduce a distinct measure on this subject for Ireland, with
the view of abolishing the Poor Removal.
Mr. DISRAELI asked if the noble lord had any objec-
tion to postpone the second reading of the Poor Removal
Bill until the Irish bill was before the house.

Lord J. RUSSELL could not consent to such a delay.
