CUSTOMS.

The history of the seizures of the steamers may be thus
stated :—From information received at the Customs in
December last, that some ships were being built for a
foreign power (not Russia) at war with a State in amity
with this country, the attention of Mr. Scanlan (the offi-
cer who appears to have been charged with the manage-
ment of these matters from the commencement) was di-
rected to the necessary inquiries. In the course of his
examination he found that two war frigates were being
built at Northfieet, by Mr. Pitcher, and as he had reason
strongly to suspect for the Russian Government. This
impression of the officer became soon confirmed, by a
formal communication from the Home Department early
in January last, informing the Customs of the fact, and
directing the necessary inquiries. The Customs having
given directions accordingly, Mr. Scanlan did prosecute
his inquiries, although unknown to Mr. Pitcher, and as-
certained the character and forwardness of the vessels. It
will be enough to state that they were screw steamers, of
large tonnage, and constructed for purposes of war, of the
best materials, and at an apparently immense expense. At
this stage matters had not reached the point which justified
a seizure, and the officer continued to keep the vessels
under strict surveillance. About- the end of January
one of the vessels was ready to be launched ; the other
was not in the same state of forwardness, but the work
progressed with great activity. The officer continued
his observations, and about the middle of March, finding
that a considerably increased number of hands were at
work on the incomplete vessel, and hearing that a report
had been circulated among the men that the vessels were
purchased by the British Government for the purposes
of war, and that they were to be got ready for sea with
the least possible delay, reported the fact, and suggested
the expediency of ascertaining from the proper authori-
ties whether the report in question was correct. The
result was a communication from the Home-office and
the Admiralty, denying the truth of the report. Matters
continued in this state until the circumstances of the
case appeared sufficient to warrant a seizure, and on the
4th of April, in pursuance of the orders of the Trea-
sury, the ves3els were seized as "the property of an
enemy." The vessels are at this moment under deten-
tion as forfeited to the Crown, and nothing was heard
of a proposal to transfer them by voluntary sale to her
Majesty's Government until after the seizure had been

ThE COMET.

As the moon will not rise this evening until after dusk,
there is a probability that the comet will be again dis-
cernible to the naked eye for a few days, or, at any rate,
will be well sees with an ordinary night glass. The
nucleus has now about equal brightness with a star of
the fifth magnitude. At 8 o'clock this evening (Friday)
it will bear 3 deg. South of West, at an altitude of 11
deg. On Thursday, at the same hour, it will be 8 deg.
South of West, and 9 deg. above the horizon ; or it may
be found by means of its right ascension and declination
taken from the following table :

CITY, TWO O'CLOCK.
This being Good Friday, the Stock Exchange,
Bank of England, and other public establishments
are closed, consequently there is nothing to report
under this head.

Bills of exchange on the foreign cities were nego-
tiated yesterday afternoon, and mostly at the pre-
vious rates. ' Trieste was higher.

THE PENINSULAR MAIL.

(BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.)
SOUTHAMPTON, FRIDAY
MORNING.

The Peninsular mail arrived at half-past five
o'clock by the Iberia. She brings 48 passengers,
1,3551. in specie, and an average cargo. Her dates
are—Gibraltar and Cadiz, April 5 ; Lisbon, April
9 ; Oporto and Vigo, April 10.
Exchange at Lisbon on London for bills at 90
days, 54i ; inscriptions, 34.
Her Majesty and City of Carlisle traisport ships
left Gibraltar on the 3d for the East, with detach-
ments of Horse Artillery. The sloop 'steam-ship
Teneriffe arrived out from Liverpool on the 4th.
She observed on the 9th, 10 west of Cape Roco,
the Trent; and the Orinoco, 21 north of Benlys,
with troops for the East.

ROYAL CYCLORAMA, ALBANY-STREET.

A private view took place last evening of a series of
pictures of large dimensions, being 80 feet by 40. The
subjects are moving views of the Bay of Naples, Pom-
peii, and the eruption of Mount Vesuvius, painted by,
Mr. J. M`Nevan. The object of the artist is to con-
duct the spectator along the coast of the Bay of Naples,
at such a distance that the details of its architectural
and scenic beauties may be easily observed, and
the customs of the fishermen in their picturesque
dresses, until he comes to the town of Terre-
del-Greece, illuminated on the feast of its patron,
with animated groups of peasants. He is then pre-
sented with a view of Pompeii as it now appears after
the excavation, with its mutilated temples, theatres,
forums, pictures, columns, and marble amphitheatre,
the latter of which is said to have been capable of contain-
ing 20,000 persons. Mr. J. M‘Nevan spent the summer
of 1852 amidst the palaces of Naples and the ruins of
Pompeii ' • every detail of these places has, we are
assured, been painted from the original with scrupu-
lous accuracy. The scenes are very effective, and,
at the same time that the spectator feels that he is look-
ing at every house, or each ruin of classic interest as it
stands, he is not deprived of the pleasure of admiring
the beauties of the surrounding country, which are
represented with due rega'-d to their real appearance in
nature. He has also the advantage of seeing the views
under various coloured lights, which produce very pleas-
ing changes. The exhibition of the paintings is relieved
by musical illustrations, performed on the grand apollo-
nicon by Mr. Henry W. A. Beale in very excellent style.
No doubt this new effort for the amusement of the pub-
lic by the spirited proprietors of the Royal Colosseum
will prove highly attractive, particularly when accom-
panied, which it will be on Monday next, by an instruc-
tive lecture. The whole was much applauded.

SEIZURE OF STEAM-SHIPS BY TRE

LATEST FOREIGN E%V S.

THE WAR.
ST. PETERSBURG.

Advices from .St. Petersburg, of the 6th inst.,
state that a ukase declares that, as danger threatens
the Empire, it is ordered that the four reserve
battalions become-effective, and that two new ones
be organised for each corps.

Letters from the Russian capital of the 4th say
the city had been illuminated in celebration of the
passage of the Danube. ATe Deum had also been
sung in the church of the Winter Palace in the
presence of the Czar, the Imperial Family, and all
the civil and military functionaries. Salvoes of
artillery had also been fired from the citadel,
Crosses and orders had just been distributed to a
large number of Prussian military officers.
The Emperor of Russia is to reside, during the
war, alternately at Revel and St. Petersburg.
The Grand Duke, heir presumptive to the
throne, is to proceed to Helsingfors, and the Grand
Duke Constantine will assume the command of a
division of the Russian fleet, which, protected by
800 pieces of cannon, will cast anchor within the
fortifications of the seven islands at Sweaburg.
It was thought in St. Petersburg that the Eng-
lish fleet would first proceed to Libac on the western
coast of Courland, towards the Bay of Riga, to in-
vest the three islands in front of that port, and
that it would endeavour to destroy the fortifica-
tions of Revel. There were no men of war before
Revel, for that town does not protect a fleet suf-
ficient.

A letter from Konigsberg, 9th, in the Cologne
Gazette, states that the Prussian authorities have
received an official notice from the Russian mili-
tary authorities that a corps of Russian troops, in
two divisions, with 80 pieces of artillery, would
take up a position between Memel and Suwalki.
The frontier of Russia is hermetically closed to all
but Russians, and a commissary, having a Swedish
passport, signed by M. de Budberg, had been sent
back to the frontier town of Vanroggen.
London, England, 1854-06-26

RETREAT OF THE RUSSIANS.

A despatch dated Vienna, yesterday (Sunday)
evening, says :
" The Russians are in full retreat to Moldavia.
" The Russians in the Dobrudscha are also re-
tiring.

" A Turkish army, 20,000 strong, is advancing
to relieve Rassova.
"Omar Pasha is advancing with his entire force
to the Danube.

BOROUGH HOP.

Although the amount of business doing in our market is
by no means extensive, the late advance in the quotations
is supported. The plantation accounts are still unfavour-
able, and the duty has been called 90,0001. to 95,0001.
Last week's imports were 4 bales from Rotterdam, 140 ditto
from Hamburgh, 18 ditto from Ostend, and 16 ditto from
Antwerp. Mid and East Kent pockets, 71. lOs to
101. Os ; Weald of Kent ditto, 71. lOs to 9/. Os ; Sussex

TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES.

Sir,—As I understand tho Government is about to
order the construction of a number of gun-boats to be
used in the Baltic and elsewhere, and as the subject is of
some interest to the public, I venture to offer to your
notice my animadversions on the Wrangler gun-boat, of
which honourable mention is made in a paragraph of
your paper of the 21st I cannot but advert to the
en, r nous depth of water drawn by this vessel.
The dimensions given in your article are as follows :
Length between perpendiculars 160 feet, breadth 25 feet
4 inches, horse-power 160, draught of water 11 feet 6
inches.

May I be allowed to.inquire of what use is a vessel of
such a draught in the Baltic ?
We have at this moment several small craft attendant
on our fleet which certainly do not draw much more, it
so much, water. Our steam frigates can sail into Revel,
our ships of the line can safely anchor in the Bay of
Helsingfnrs, and can sail into Cronstadt harbour.
This gun-boat can do no more ; she can neither navi-
gate among the Aland Isles, nor safely among any of
the Finnish " scheam ;" neither can she enter Abo
Creel;:, nor approach St. Petersburg, as the draught re-
quired for either of these navigations is seven feet.
It is credibly reported in St. Petersburg that the Rus-
sian Government has given orders at several times to
English shipbuilders and engineers to build steamvessels
of certain dimensions and specified tonnage and power,
having a small draught of water, and that these gentle-
men have entered into engagements with the Govern-
ment on such terms, which they have not been able to
fulfil ; and when the vessels built under such contracts
have arrivel in Constradt, they have been either rejected
or taken at a depreciated value. This is a singular fact.
Our shipbuilders seem to want, and to insist upon
wanting, a knowledge of fiat lines.
Not so the Dutch shipwrights and engineers. In the
construction of vessels of this character they seem to
excel. I am cognisant of several orders which have
been given to the Finjord works, near Rotterdam, for
steamers of light draught, which have been executed
very satisfactorily. I believe there are no less than fiT6
iron vessels, made at that establishment, now afloat in
the waters of the Black Sea, of about the same length as
the Wrangler, but drawing, with armament complete,
not more than seven feet six inches of water.
There are tug-boats now running on the Volga, built at
the same works, the largest of which are of 500 horse
power, and drawing no more than five feet six inches of
water. They can be driven in still water at the rate of
15 miles per hour.
The Messrs. Roentgen, of this firm, were the first to
establish steamers on the Rhine and the Danube ; and
it would seem that up to the present time they have
been the only successful constructors of fast vessels of
large tonnage in proportion to draught. The firm, how-
ever, exists no longer, as both the Messrs. Roentgen

ITA LY.

The Official Journal of the Two Sicilies, of the 9 th,
after recounting the fact of three political refugees,
Iliterdonato, Savona, and Scarperia having landed
tear Messina, states that when the house in which
they were was surrounded by the armed force, they
nevertheless contrived their escape under favour of
the darkness of the night ; but that subsequently
ta'n of them namely, Interdonato and Scarperia,
gurreudered to the authorities of the commune of
Giardini to take their trial.
Caroinal Fornari, died suddenly at Rome, on the
15th aged 66.
ROME, June 16.—The opinion of the Roman Go-
l'ernment on the Eastern question appears to be
anti-Russian, and may be seen in the selection of
news in the official journal, where the Turkish
successes figure as prominently as Russian achieve-
'tents do in the Bourbonic organ of Naples, King
Ferdinand being devoted body and soul to the
Czar's cause. His Neapolitan Majesty may indeed
get into some trouble with the Western Powers if
he continues to show his partiality quite as dis-
tinctly as at present. Under pretext of the
Strictest neutrality he has recently prohibited
the exportation of that great staple of Sicilian corn-
teree, sulphur, in spite of the treaty with England,
esides horses, cattle, hay, straw (the export of
corn was already prohibited), and everything else
"'licit by the greatest ingenuity can be construed
lilt° contraband war stores, so that his subjects,
by the failure of last year's crop 3, having no oil or
Wine to export as usual, and being dprived of
ether resources, find themselves reduced to a per.
feet commercial stand-still. The warlike demon-
Strations of the Papal government continue on a
small scale on the western coast, and the diminu-
tive steamers San Giovanni and Archimede still
cruise about off Porto D'Anzio, prudently towing
Piece of cannon in a gunboat, in ordernot to en-
danger their own timbers by the concussion of a
discharge. The land forces of his Holiness have
`ieen diminished by the desertion en masse of 40
Swiss soldiers from the garrison of Macerata—a
circumstance which has not a little afflicted the
government, as showing a spirit of disaffection in
the battalions most relied upon.

BOROUGH AND SPITALFIELDS.

The supply of old potatoes continue seasonably good, but
the demand is heavy, at from 1008 to 190 s per ton. New
qualities are coming freely to hand. English are selling at
from 10s to 12s per cwt., and foreign 7s 6d to 8s 6d per
basket. Last week's imports were 12,016 baskets from
Rotterdam, and 200 sacks from Dublin.

REFORMERS TO THE RESCUE.

That very commendlle measure—the Public
revenue and Consolidated Fund Charges Bill—is
to be considered in the House of Commons this
evening. Every Reformer will, of course, be pre-
sent to support it. By the introduetion of this
1411 Mr. Gladstone has gained golden opinions from
XLen of all classes. The object of the measure being
1,0 put the whole of the taxes under the control of
arliament, those who are interested in keeping up
useless civil servants, or in perpetuating any under-
'and dippings into the public purse, are sure to
rimuster
, strongly to oppose the Chancellor's plan.
the more the need, therefore, for every Reformer '
be at his post to-night. The organ of the Tories,
the other day, trade a howl in favour of keeping
serile Irish officials out of the operation of the bill.
,
Was a strange thing to see the organ of Orange-
letn coming forth as the champion of what looked
Zastly like a Romanist scheme for keeping clear of
itlarliamentary control. Opposition may doubtless
he expected again from the same sources, but no
good reforming measure can hope to pass without
struggle through a House of Commons so strangely
constituted as the present one. But the difficulties
bow' before Mr. Gladstone's beat bill can 'only ren-
der all the more complete his credit if he carries it
safely through. Mr. W. Williams for years urged
'exliament to permit no portion of the taxes to be
13Pent by those who gathered them. Mr. Gladstone
now worthily strives to carry out this suggested
'ecal reform ; and we therefore repeat—we can
scarcely do so too often—let all true Liberals rally
round him to-night.—Daily News.
