THE MEDICAL REFORM BILL.-
Considering that there exists no sorts of unanimity with Doc-
tors as regards the cause and cure of diseases, the members of the

medical liberty of the subject.—For further information on this im-

COUP DE SABRE,

GUN-BOATS WANTED FOB THE BALTIC.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Sut,—As it appears that Russia has been for some
time using prodigious efforts to increase the number of
her gun-boats, it is earnestly to be hoped that our gal-
lant Baltic fleet will not be suffered to be deficient in
this very important class of vessels in that sea.
Some of our splendid line-of-battle ships may (as has
before happened in those waters)irun aground at a most
critical period of action, and perhaps be exposed to be
disabled and destroyed by the raking fire from swarms
of heavily-armed gun-boats, who could choose their own
position in shallow water.

It is, therefore, most essential that we should have
abundant means of occupying the attention of this kind
of craft.

The employment of steam gun-boats in addition to
those of the ordinary construction would afford us an
immense advantage ; but this suggestion, although re-
peatedly made by naval officers and others, has not yet
met with the attention which it deserves.
Of course it is to be presumed that both the Baltic and
Black Sea fleets will have powerful divisions of bomb-
ships attached to them, carrying the heaviest description
of mortar.—l remain, sir, your very obedient servant,

LATEST FOREIGN NEWS.

THE WAR IN THE EAST.

A letter from Belgrade of the 27th, published
in the Mouiteur of yesterday, confirms the news
we gave yesterday respecting the affair at Turtu-
kai. It says—" On the 15th, General Gortscha-
koff attempted to seize on the island of the Danube
situated in front of Turtukai. His troops were
already covering the bridge which they had estab-
lished, when the fire of the Turks succeeded in
breaking down the bridge, which was carried away
by the current with everything then on it. The
loss of the Russians is estimated at nearly 2,000 men
killedas well on the bridge as on the bank. The loss
of the Turks, sheltered behind their entrench-
ments, was almost nothing."
Accounts from Vienna of the 27th state, that
on the 23,1 18,000 Russians crossed the Danube
and occupied Gedshid. General Luders had left
Galatz, and had marched to the spot to protect the
operation.
The Russian General Stakelberg, who was at-
tached to the Russian embassy at Vienna, is about
to leave that city to take part in the war.
A telegraphic despatch from Vienna, dated last
evening says—There is no doubt of the passage of
the Danube by the Russians in great force.
Besides the division which crossed from Braila,
General Luders passed from Galatz, with the main
army, without meeting any serious opposition, and
with very slight loss.
4,000 Turkish troops are in Prevesa, and as many
in Janina.

LONDON, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 29, 1854

A Declaration of War against Russia has at last
been given to the world, through the London Ga-
zette, in the name of the British SOVEREIGN. The
peace of nearly forty years' duration has termi-
nated. A conflict of European magnitude, one
of consequences so vast and numerous as to be at
this moment altogether beyond the reach of cal-
culation, has actually commenced. The responsi-
bility of this terrible struggle rests exclusively, as
has been already asserted by the Imperial Mes-
sage of NAPOLEON, rests wholly and exclusively
upon the St. Petersburg Government. To the
lawless passions of NICHOLAS can alone be
attributed both the mediate and immediate
provocation—in the one instance the refusal of
any reply whatever to the demand conveyed to
him by her MAJESTY'S Messenger, in the other
the daring mission entrusted to the extraordinary
Ambassador sent by him twelve months ago to the
Divan at Constantinople. The truth of all this
has long since become notorious. It is patent to
the understanding and visible to the judgment of
every rational man throughout Christendom.
Everything--until the CZAR entered upon the
course which has conducted matters at length to
this dread conclusion—everything in regard to
the balance of power in Europe was, up to that
fatal moment, in a state of profound tranquillity.
Everything was peace for Europe, everything be-
tokened for it the continuance of that quietude
which had been maintained among its chief Powers
during an interval of nearly forty years' duration
—until the hand of the Czar, suddenly presented
to the Chief Powers another apple of discord.
That apple of discord was the Protectorate. The
mission entrusted to Prince MENSCHIKOFF was the
suggestion to England and Prussia, to France and
Austria, of the advan.3ement of similar claims for
authority within the SULTAN'S dominions over
their respective co-religionists. But such claims,
besides being unjustifiable, would have been abso-

lutely frivolous undor the circumstances. For
the Greek Christians in the European territories
of the SUblime Porte embraced nearly the whole of
the non-Mussulman pa rt of the Turkish population.
The requirement, by • the CzArt, of a Protectorate
over those Greek Christians, implied the transfer-
ence to St. Petersburg of the imperial sovereignty
hitherto maintained at Constantinople. It was so
understood at once by Ministers of the SuL-
TAN) and so understood the demand was at once,
of course, and resolutely, rejected. How this
c refusal of any compliance with the unjustifiable
mandates laid before the Divan by the Russian
Envoy Extraordinary was followed by threats
from the CZA.II of his determination to march his
armies across the frontier, and to take forcible
possession of the Danubian provinces as a " ma-
terial guaraithee"—how that threat was carried

TILE SOLDIEL'S DREAM.

( From Punch.)
Oh sad was my heart as for marching we mustered,
For I thought of the wife I was leaving behind,
And the six hungry mouths round their mother that
clustered,
With bread at high price, and with work hard to find.
On my watch aboard ship, standing sentry ashore,
By the bivouac fire, still that thought would pursue ;
Till I dreamed a glad dream—and was sorry no more—
'Twas the time of the night when they say dreams are
true.

I dreamed that I saw the poor babes I'd forsaken,
And her whom too soon a sad mother I'd made,
Looking still, as she looked, when that last leave was taken,
Not knowing from whom to seek counsel or aid.
I heard their shrill cry as they asked her for bread,
Heard her answer—" The bread of the parish or none !"
Saw them shivering for cold on a blanketless bed,
And crouched round a hearth whence the last spark was
• gone.

When sudden, with look like an angel of grace,
And hands that bore raiment and firing and food,
I saw a kind lady come into the place
To cheer my sad wife and her clamorous brood.
" Take, eat, and be warm ; 'tis the offering of friends,"
She said ; " not the dole on the pauper bestowed ;
It comes from the country your husband defends,
Which to you pays a debt that to him it feels owed.
"His heart will be stouter, his arm will be stronger,
When he knows that his children are clothed, taught,
and fed ;
That his wife lives in dread of the workhouse no longer,
To the shame of the country for which he has bled."
Then I cried in my sleep, "Take the soldier's thanks-
giving !"
When lo ! the reveille proclaimed break of day ;
And I stood to my arms with a heart free from grieving,
All fears for my wife and my babes chased away.

THE BALTIC FLEET.

By the International Telegraph, via the Hague,
we learn that Admiral Napier's flag-ship, the Duke
of Wellington, 131, anchored at Kiel yesterday
(Tuesday), and that the whole fleet was then off
the harbour. _

The Bulldog steamer, 6, Captain King, was in
port, and the captain had had an interview with
the British vice-consul about the supply of coal to
the steamers. _ _ _

All was well on board the fleet. Immediate
destination was not known.

A letter from Revel, 17th, states that the roads
near that town are filled with people quitting the
place with all their most valuable effects. The
greatest agitation prevails. None of the light-
houses near the port are now lighted.
A letter from Revel of the 24th ult., in the
Journal de St. Petersburg, says :—" The roadsted
of Revel, which was covered with ice on the 13th
January, was freed from it in the night of the 22d.
It was again frozen over on the Bth February ; but
since the 21st, a thaw has caused an opening behind
the double battery. On the previous day, a ves-
sel freighted with provisions arrived at Port Baltic,
and its cargo was forwarded to St. Petersburg."
The British Consul, at Cronstadt, has left his
post ; the French Consul is absent on leave.

(BT.. ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH. )
ARRIVAL OF THE ANDES.
LIVERPOOL, WEDNESDAY MORNING.
The steamer Andes arrived at an early hour this
morning. She has broughgno later papers than the
Nashville, but telegraphic accounts from New York to
the 16th have been received yid, Halifax. She brough t
$209,531 in specie on freight.
On the 24th the Andes passed the barque Huron,
timber laden and abandoned, in lat. 49, long. 31.50 ; on
the 28th passed the ship Montreal and steamer City of
Manchester, both bound west ; and on the 27th passed
the barque Buenos Ayrean, inward bound.
NEW YORK, THURSDAY EVENING, 16th.
President Pierce sent a message to Congress yester
day on the Black Warrior affair. The President inti-
mates that the outrage is so clear that he shall expect
full indemnity as soon as the matter shall be made known
to her Catholic Majesty's Government, although similar
expectations in other cases have not been realised.
The President states further, that he has already
taken measures to present the matter to the Spanish
Government, and to demand an immediate in-
demnity for this wanton outrage. In case the mea-
sures taken for an amicable adjustment with Spain
should unfortunately prove unsuccessful, the President
will not fail to use the authority and means at
his disposal to insure the observance of just rights,
1 to obtain redress, and to vindicate the honour of the
American flag. In anticipation of contingencies he sug-
gests to Congress the propriety of adopting such provi-
sional measures as the exigency may seem to demand.
The above message was received by Congress with
great satisfaction by all parties. It was reported that a
Government steamier would be despatched to Cadiz im-
mediately. The message has also given satisfaction to
the people and press. The navy department is making
efforts to increase the force on the West India station.
On the 16th Mr. Giddings, in the House of Represen-
tatives, condemned the course taken by the President,
and defended the Cuban authorities.
Lieut. Bodisco, nephew of the late Russian Minister
at Washington, is ordered home by his Government.
The steamer Reindeer exploded on the Ohio river,
killing 50 passengers.
The steamer Caroline was burned on Tennessee river.
40 persons burned and drowned.

THE USE OF THE LANCE.

TO THE EDITOR OF TIE SUN.
SlR,—Seeing that the 17th Lancers are under orders
for the East, and having lately noticed several articles on
the use of the lance as a weapon for a dragoon, I beg
leave to offer a few remarks on the subject. In the first
place, it is but right that the force sent out should be as
efficient as possible ; and that brings us to the question,
Is the lance really a fit arm to send a man into the field
with ? In my opinion it is not. The Lancer is fur-
nished with a pole, ten feet long, which on coming to the
guard presents a leverage of five feet to his opponent.
He is told to secure it well under his arm, of course to
prevent its being parried. But the moment he extends
his arm to deliver a point, there is no longer the elbow
to secure the lance, and his thrust might be parried by
a cane or a riding whip. In the filet division of the
lance exercise (against Cavalry) the front parry, as it
is called, is ridiculous. The idea of breaking a swords"-
man's guard by moving this pole 12 inches to the left,
same to the right, and then point l I believe it was
once termed " front wave and point." Properly speak-
ing, it is a wave of the flag and nothing else. We are
told it is done to frighten the horses, but I would advise
them to settle the man first. In the third division
(against cavalry) he is told to make a sweeping parry
round the body, so as to knock a man off his horse. This
cannot be done by any Lancer unless he is extended to
give room. With closed files he would knock his com-
rades right and left ; in fact, it could not be done at all,
and if separated in the field, I would advise him to throw
away his lance, draw sword, and become at once a Light
Dragoon.

To allow the free use of the lance his belt is shortened,
so as to place the pouch between the shoulders, almost
out of reach when wanting to load his pistol. At one
time ten of a troop carried carabines, to use which they
had to sling lance on the bridle-arm, making it almost
useless—for, encumbered in that way, he would make
but a poor skirmisher. On active service the Lancer
will often have to pass through woods, and rough ones,
too ; he will again find the lance troublesome either slung
or at the trail. Depend on it, it is more for sight than
service. Stay, if they must be sent out, let them be at-
tached to the Com misery Department, for a lance is a capital
thing to drive oxen with. My objeet is to remove what I
firmly believe to be a false notion as regards the lance
for a mounted man. It is true a high opinion has been
formed of the lance from the exploits of the Cossacks in
the retreat from Moscow. Wonderful affair ! hordes of
rough warriors harassing half-frozen soldiers during a
long and toilsome march ! Let them try it on in the
more genial climate of Turkey, and I'll back the Hussar
and Light Dragoon.
Should you be pleased to insert this, it may be the
means of drawing attention to the subject, and will
much oblige your humble servant,

CAMBRIDGE, MARCH 28.
THE NEW BOTANIC GARDENS.
The Syndicate appointed on this subject have made a
report to the Senate, stating that there is a sum of
3,468/. 4s. Bd. standing in the names of the governors,
and recommends the erection of a group of houses for
the house plants, the cost of which will fall within this
sum, leaving the question of the formation of an orna-
mental structure in the centre of the garden to a future
period. Plans have been prepared, and estimates ob-
tained, the latter amounting to 2,2481., and the Syndi-
cate recommends that they be adopted and the work ex-
ecuted. A grace to confirm will be offered to the
Senate on the 31st inst., and the plans and documents
may be seen at the Pitt Press on Wednesday and Thurs-
day next.

Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Gloucester con-
tinued in the same state yesterday. The Royal Duchess
was able yesterday to leave her chamber for the drawing-
room. The Queen and Royal family, with the young
p-inces and princesses are daily visitants to the Duchess.
The Viscount and Viscountess Canning entertained
on Monday evening, in Grosvenor-square, Earl Gran-
ville, Lord and Lady Jocelyn, and a select party. Her
ladyship, we understand, was prevented from going into
waiting yesterday on her Majesty, to relieve the Coun-
tess of Mount Edgecumbe, in consequence of the demise
of the venerable Duke of Portland, nearly related to his
lordship.

bility of establishing a library and reading room for the

MARKET NEWS-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE.

A very limited supply of English wheat was on sale in
to-day's market. There was a fair number of buyers in
attendance, and a good clearance of the stands was readily
effected, at fully Monday's prices.
The imports of wheat were 7,410 quarters, and the show
of samples was very extensive ; nevertheless, the trade was
decidedly firm, at extreme currencies. Some of the im-
porters refused to sell except at enhanced rates.
Floating cargoes were dull. In prices, however, no
change took place.
There was rather more inquiry for barley, at full prices.
In malt very little was doing.
Oats, beans, peas, and flour sold at Monday's prices.
The imports of the latter are 6,730 barrels, chiefly from
France.

appreciate how large an agent in projects and develop-
ment railways were.
The Minister of the Interior, Mr. BRETTIVILLE, said
that it had already been remarked how fortunate they
were that Mr. Robt. Stephenson, a man whose talents
are so renowned through Europe, took so lively an inte-
rest in constructing a railway in their country, and how
fortunate they were to meet with honourable men, who,
having the means of providing the capital, were inclined
to extend their business even to that remote country.
It was no less their good fortune that the man who was
chosen to manage the execution of this great enterprise
was a man who possessed extraordinary ability and ac-
knowledged experience. It was needless to say that
gentleman was Mr. Bidder, and in proposing his health
he had to thank him on the part of himself and country-
men for the interest he had evinced in bringing the en-
terprise to so successful an issue.
Mr. BIDDER, in return, took the opportunity to pro-
pose "The Commissioners of Control," whose kindness,
combined with perspicacity, exactitude, and decision
where it was required, he fully praised. He admitted that
there had been, indeed, a difference of opinion between
hiih and them—a difference of opinion being unavoida-
ble between men of independent ideas ; but the earnest-
ness and decision with which they had maintained their
opinion had only contributed to increase his respect for
them. It had been said that the railway was not yet
complete ; he granted it, inasmuch as a railway can
never be complete so long as the traffic was actively de-
veloping itself ; under these circumstances he sincerely
trusted the Norwegian Trunk Railway may be con-
tinually requiring increase of accommodation to meet
increasing demands—to meet augmenting revenue. He
could not wish anything better than that the railway
could never be said to be complete.
Several other toasts were given and responded to, and
the meeting separated.

tween German and European in this sense, that two of
those points, that concerning a collective protectorate
and the other concerninr, the free navigation of the Da:
nube, should be considered as especially responding to
German interests.
•
" It results from this document (continues the corres.
pondent), which I think I have exactly analysed, that
Austria, whilst she maintains the four points, renounces
the demand of an immediate mobilisation of the federal
contingents. This is what was long foreseen. On the
other hand, she appears to insist with the Diet upon the
adoption of a portion only of _the guarantees demanded
by the Western Powers, which she has made her own
by the exchange of the notes of the Bth August, and
which she maintains, as far as she herself is concerned,
towards Russia. It remains to be seen what the reply
of Prussia will be. It is difficult to admit that the-two
Cabinets should not come to an. understanding on so
narrow a basis as indicated by the Austria.n-Circular of
the 14th September." •

COUNTRY MARKETS.

LIVERPOOL-SEPT. 26.

There was a fair attendance of buyers at our Corn Ex.
change this morning, and rather a good demamd was ex-
perienced for wheat, flour, and Indian corn, at a further
advance upon Friday's prices, making the week's improve-
ment 4d to 6d per bushel on wheat, is 61 per barrel and
2s per sack on flour, and 3s per qr. on Indian corn. In
other articles of the trade no business of importance trans-
pired.

IPSWICII—Sapp. 26.
We observed more wheat at market to-day. The condi•
tion being excellent, and a demand existing for export to
the continent, the trade ruled not only firm, but An ad-
vance on last week's rates of is to 2s per qr. was fully es-
tablished. The increase to the supply of barley was but
little. Some malsters are about to commence steeping, so
that a further advance of is and 2s per qr. had to be paid
to the grower. Beans and peas in very short supply, and
held for more money.

PRUSSIA.

FRANCE.

The Moniteur publishes the following telegraphic
despatch .from Therapia, 17th :
"MARSHAL DE SAINT-ARNAUD TO THE MINISTER OP WAR.
"Bivouac of Oldfort, 16th.—The allied armies landed
at Oldfort on the 14th without meeting with any resist-
ance. The troops are full of ardour. The Tartar popu-
lation appear very favourably disposed. We are estab-
lishing ourselves by the landing of the cavalry and the
materiel. This is a laborious operation, and is some-
times impeded by the wind ; but it advances, and I hope
to be prepared to leave to-morrow. The ensemble of
our debut is very satisfactory."
The following private telegraphic despatch has
also been received :

"MARSEILLES, 26th,—The courier which left Con-
stantinople on the 15th merely announces the march of
25,000 Turks on Ibrail, and the junction of the corps
commanded by Schamy .with that of his lieutenant,
Daniel Bey, in order to make an attack on Tiflis. The
Turkish army in Asia, which is waiting for its new
general-in- chief, Ismail Pacha, occupies the camp
abandoned by the Russians near Kars. Since
his departure from Silistria, Ismail Pacha has
been the object of continual ovations on the part
of the Ottoman troops whom he meets on his road.
The Thabor, which left Constantinople on the 20th, is
expected here on the 27th or 28th. She will bring de-
tails of the lauding of the allies in the Crimea. Accord-
ing to notes exchanged between the governments of
France, England, and Bavaria, the cabinet of Munich
has just sent M. Maurer, ex-Minister of Justice, on a
mission to King Otho."
The Minister of War has lately taken measures
to have the frontier-zone of France more strictly
watched over ; and to that effect he has addressed
a circular to the prefects, officers of gendarmery,
and commanders of fortified places, stating what
points that surveillance ought to be more particu-
larly directed to, and the nature of the acts of
preservation that ought to be carried out.
The Three per Cents. closed yesterday at 74f.

AUSTRIAN SOFT-SAWDER.

The Vienna Lloyd of the 21st contains the following
remarks, which are not without interest, as illustrative
of the tone which Austria finds it convenient to adopt
at present :
"The intelligence received yesterday that the Turkish
troops are beginning to evacuate Wallachia has a deep
meaning. It must have been felt at Constantinople
that it would be a sad mission for the principal Ottoman
army to assume the office of guardian of the Principali-
ties, already adequately protected, and to remain an idle
spectator of the offensive war now directed against the
enemy of Turkey. The auxiliary forces 'lave com-
menced a great strife which they will probably be unable
to terminate alone. If Sebastopol falls, the Crimea
must be garrisoned and defended, great military opera-
' tions must bo begun in Asia, and perhaps an attempt
will be made to enter Bessarabia by Odessa. The mili-
tary talents of Omer Pacha, and the courage of the
powerful army which he commands, will find here a
wider field of action than they have yet had to show
their valour. When the Ottoman army shall have taken
an active part in the war of the Crimea, then only will
the service that Austria has rendered to Europe be dis-
played dearly before the eyes of the world."
Otner Pacha, will appreciate this coaxing flattery at its
true worth, and so, it may be suspected, does the Em-
peror of the French. The above paragraph has been
transferred to the columns of the Monitcur, where it has
assigned to it the same prominent place and type as
were given to the notice of the electrio message front
Vienna to General Hess, ordering him to allow the
Turks to occupy Galatz and Ibraila.

DOVER CASTLE.—Orders were received here from the
Board of Ordnance some time back that the casemated
barracks in the Castle, excavated in the cliff fronting,
the sea in the reign of George when invasion was
threatened by Napoleon 1., and which, after being oc-
cupied by different regiments of militia, have been used
as a depository for large stores of gunpowder, should be
cleared out. Accordingly vessels have been occupied at
intervals in removing the powder, and last week the last
Of the barrels was shipped off preparatory to the barracks.
being again fitted up for the reception of troops.—South

"The Moriiteur rectified yesterday with official infor-
mation what had been inexact in the first telegraphic
despatch relative to the landing in the Crimea. It is
not at Eupatoria that the landing took place, but half
way between that town and Sebastopol. What had
given rise to the premature news of the descent on
Eupatoria was that on the 13th three regiments had
landed and taken possession of this last•named
place. The rest of the operation was effected the next
day at a point named Old Fort, seven leagues distant
from Sebastopol. Thus, the first result henceforward
forms part of the history of the present struggle. The
first act of the great enterprise which holds Europe and
the world in suspense has realised all our hopes. We have
taken footing in the Crimea in the midst of a population
more friendly to us than hostile. We arrive there as

liberators, with the prestige of our force and of our past
triumphs, with the irresistible power of an army of
chosen men, accompanied with all the resources of mei:
dery science. We have to do with enemies whom our
presence has terrified, and who feel the demoralisation of
a year of successive defeats. The termination of such a
situation cannot be doubtful ; in the opinion of all special
men, the landing was the greatestdifficulty. That obstacle
being surmounted, the heroism of our soldiers will do the
rest. This sentiment of our force, we may affirm without
any fear of contradiction, is felt both in France and
in Europe. It is likewise comprehended that there

COMMISSION OF SEWERS.

A special court of sewers was held yesterday in the
Court-house, No. 1, Greek-street, Soho.
The SECRETARY reported that the balance in the banal/
of the treasurer on the 21st Sept., was 40,0281. 93.
the present available balance being 38,4101. 183.
The deposit fund was stated to be 120,0001.

THE CHOLERA IN ST. JAMES'S.
A report from Mr. Cooper, the engineer, as to the
state of the infected district of St. James's parish, vtae
read by Mr. Woolrych.
The CHAIRMAN suggested that the report should 11
printed, and sent, together with the plan (without which
it would not be intelligible), to the medical and other
officers of the parishes in which the infected district issi
situated.
Mr. HA.WKSHAW moved the adoption of the repor!,
and called attention particularly to that part of it whicu
showed that the opening of the plague-pit had nothing
to do with the mortality that had occurred.
Mr. SMITH seconded the resolution, which after a brief
conversation was carried, and the formal business having
been disposed of, the court adjourned.

SURREY THEATRE.

We observe that this renowned comic dancer has an-
nounced his annual benefit for Tuesday next, the 3d of
October, at the Surrey Theatre, on which occasion he
intends to treat his patrons to a rare display of his pe-
culiar abilities on the light fantastic toe. Flexmora's
performances have repeatedly received the approval of
the London and Paris critics, and perhaps it is enough
to mention that fact to prove that he is entitled to the
patronage of the play-going public ; but in addition to
his own exertions to gratify his friends and admirers, he
will be ably assisted by Madam Auriol, the popular
danseuse, while the whole strength of the Surrey com-
pany will be called forth in melodrama, farce, and con-
cert. Let those, therefore, who delight in eerio-comic
dancing avail themselves of this opportunity to gratify
their taste, for it has been well said of Flexmore, that
"he walketh not, ho leapeth ; hey sitteth not, ho
apringeth ; he resteth not, ho rolleth,—a ball, a bowl, a
hoop, a shuttlecock, such is Flexmore ; aye, an air-blown
entrechett."

LIVEUPOOL, Tuesday.—The new Cunard screw steam-
ship Jura, Captain Wickman, arrived in the Mersey this
morning from the Clyde in 131 hours from the clock
light in the Clyde to the Bell Buoy. She is intended for
the North American trade, and is advertised to sail
from this port on the 11th proximo for Boston and New
IYork. The clipper•ships Spray of the Ocean, Captain
Slaughter, and Lincluden Castle, Captain Rees, sailed
today for Melbourne, the former with 50, and the latter
1 with 270 passengers.
