Captain Burgoyne, who landed at Southampton from
the Nubia, immediately ptoceeled to Ryde, accompanied
by a troop of friends. He carried the regimental colours
of the Grenadier Guards at the furious charge of that
regiment at the battle of the Alma. The colour staff in
his hand was struck three times by the enemy's shot,
and he himself was wounded in the leg. A. grenadier
sergeant cut out a piece of shot from his leg on the field
of battle, and accompanied him home to England on
account of his he'pless condition.
The Weser Zeitung states that seven Russian sailors
who had arrived at Hamburg on the 19th front England,
by the Britannia steamer, were forthwith arrested at the
requi,ition of the English Minister, they being prisoners
of war who had contrived to make their escape in the
hope of proceeding from Hamburg to Russia. It re-
mains, uncertain, however, whether these individuals
will be delivered up to the English authorities. Mean-
time the affair is not without embarrassment to the
Hamburg Government, as it is probable the Russian
enAoy or consul-general will put in his claim and right
to protection.

RECRIIITING.—We understand that for a short time
back the recruiting parties stationed in Edinburgh (in-
cluding the 82d) have been raising recruits at the rate
of between 50 and GO per week. In Glasgow the num-
ber was 120 in one week, and 100 in another._ _ _ _

MEXICAN DOLLARI.—The email amount of Mexican
dollars brought by the last West India steamer has been
sold at 60id., being an advance of id. per ounce. The
price of bar silver continues 61id per ounce.
ST. THOMAS.—Advises from St. Thomas by the last
West India mail give some particulars of the guano dis-
covery lately made in that vicinity at a spot galled Ave;
or Bird island, stated to belong to the Dutch Govern-
ment. The deposit was found by the master of an
American ship, called the Kentucky, and the quantity
is said to be equal to 300,000 or 400,000 tens, while its
quality approaches that of the Chincha islands. Two
American vessels, the Kentucky and the emery, were
already taking cargoes from it, and they are said to have
landed 50 men to occupy the place, and to drive off in•
truders, with two pieces of cannon. If the estimates of
quantity and quality sheuld be realized, the value of the
island will be very great, but the locality scarcely war-
rants an expectation of the deposits being nearly equal
to the Peruvian. Ayes island is one of the leeward
group of the West Indies, and lies between the 15th and
16th degrees of north latitude, and 63d and 64th degrees
of west longitnde. -
A VESSXL RIJN DowN IN T4E CHANNIL.—The British
and Irish paddle-wheel-steamer Nile, Captain Moppett,
from London and Portsmouth, on her way for Plymouth,
Falmouth, and Cork, arrived off the west end of the
Plymouth Breakwater, at half-past 10 on Thursday even.
ing. The wind was about E.N.E., the stars shining
brightly, and the weather fair. The captain was on the
bridge, the mate on the forecastle, and the second mate
at the wheel. The steamer had the usual three lights ; she
was steered very near the Breakwater, and not more
than 40 or 50 yards from the end, and therefore with the
Breakwater light full upon her. The mate being on the
forecastle reported a vessel ahead. The captain at
once gave the order to port the helm, which was in-
stantly done, and the bow of the steamer consequently
veered to the starboard. The vessel, which turned out
to be the Mary Ann, came in contact with the bow of
the steamer, and at once went down. There were two
men on board the Mary Ann, one of whom (who was at
the helm) went down and was not again seen. The
other man was picked up after a delay of about ten
minutes almost dead, but by great care was restored.
He was unable to account for the accident. He was
quite ignorant of the lights required to be carried by the
steamer, and of the order which ought to be ebeerved on
