GRIMSBY. -- We are authorised to announce that
Queen Victoria and her Royal Consort will pay a visit
to Grimsby on Saturday, the 14th of October inst. We
need not add that the loyalty of the inhabitants of this
ancient borough is such that her Majesty will be re-
ceived with all the honours the town and port can offer ;
and that, with the cooperation of the Right Hon. the
Earl of Yarborough, whatever proceedings may be
adopted will be conducted to the entire satisfaction of
her Majesty. The visit will be one of peculiar interest
to Prince Albert, whose attendance and speeches at the
ceremony of laying the foundation stone of the immense
dock are still fresh in the minds of the population. The
Queen, Prince Albert, the Prince of Wales, and' four
other members of the Royal Family,will arrive in the
royal yacht from Hull about noon, and leave at two.—
Stamford Mercury.

TO THE EDITOR OP THE SUN.

SlR,—The adoption of corn rents, based on the aver
age prices of wheat, or of wheat, barley, and oats, for the
farmers' year, ending on Michaelmas day, having been
Stronglyadvocated by many gentlemen, as forming a more
equitable bargain between the landlord and tenant, I was
induced to make a communication to you, in October,
1353, and as a continuation, embracing the year ending
Michaelmas-day, 1854, I have prepared the annexed
statement. I also subjoin the weekly average, upon
which the quarterly and annual average is founded, put
into a shape more convenient for reference than the re•
turn published in the London Gazette.
It would tend very much to promote the extension of
the system if a general plan of proceeding could be in-
troduced ; and, with a view to this object, it would be
gratifying to me to be furnished with information as to
the mode in which the adoption of corn rents bas been
introduced and carried out in different parts of Eng-
land, particularly with reference to the high prices of
grain.
By way of example, we will suppose that a farm would
be worth 3001. a-year rent, if the average prices were as
follow, viz.:

Wheat, 7s. Old. per imp. bushel, or 563. 2d. per imp. quarter
Barley, 35.110. 31s. Bd.
PP PP
Oats ... 2s. 9d. 238. Od. pp
Now, at these prices, if we turn one-third of the rent
into each of the above kinds of grain, the corn rent will
be—

284'866 bushels of wheat.
505.263 „ barley.
727'272 „ oats.

And these quantities, valued into money, at the annual
average prices ascertained up to each Michaelmas-day,
w•iil give the rent from year to year during the continu-
ance of the agreement.—l am, &c.,

THE ARCTIC EXPEDITION.

Lieutenant Bedford C. T. Pim, who went to St. Peters-
burg to ask permission of the Emperor of Russia to pro-
ceed overland in search of Sir John Franklin, and the
officers and crews of the Erebus and Terror, discovery
ships, and subsequently proceeded as one of the lieu-
tenants of the Resolute in Captain Sir Edward Belcher's
expedition, arrived in town yesterday, the North Star in
which he carne home being reported at Sheerness, where
she is likely to remain until the usual formality takes
place on the officers of Sir Edward Belcher's expedition
for the loss of the ships left in the Arctic regions.
The leave of the officers and crew of the Phoenix screw
steam-sloop, and of the officers and men of the ships left
in the ice who were brought home from Beechey Island
in her, has been stopped from proceeding beyond the
boundaries of the dockyard. The number of officers on
board beyond the usual complement of the vessel ren-
ders the measure incommodious to them, although it is
consistent with the rules of the service, especially as the
supernumeraries would be glad to pay for a bed on shore
when the cabins aro crowded with luggage and stores,
packed up so as to be ready for being paid off. The
preserved meats and other food stores have to be put on
board lighters for conveyance to Deptford, which will
occupy some days before they can be all discharged
from the Phoenix. Amongst the coal brought home
from the Waigat at the island of Disco are some re-
markable specimens •of what may be termed tree coal,
in which the gum, which must have been exuding from
them when growing, similar in every respect to the
gum of cherry trees, is as perfect, only dry, and pure in
colour as when the trees were growing. The tree coal is
different from the coals of which Capt. Inglefield ob-
tained 50 tons to steam the vessel home. The latter is
like jet, and breaks with so clean a fracture that it will not
soil the hands. The specimens of petrifications of forests
of timber which were found on the opposite side of the
i.dand are also remarkable, and the leaves, and even the
fruit, aro very distinct. Some of the knots of fir timber,
which must have belonged to trees of considerable size,
have a peculiar appearance, as, wherever rosin has been
exuding, or even lodged in the knots, the space occupied
by it is not petrified. It was intended to have taken
home a number of these interesting relics of the Arctic
regions on the return of the Phoenix, but when she re-
turned with Sir Edward Belcher and the officers of his
expedition, the time was limited to taking on board the
coal to steam her home, and they did not visit the oppo-
site, or petrified side of the island.

AUSTRIA.

The Lloyd of Vienna of the 2(1 says :
" We have received details of the battle of the Alma,
some from Belgrade, and the others from Bucharest.
Prince Menschikoff had his right wing leaning on Baktchi
Sarai, and his left on the banks of the Alma. On the day
before the battle he had reinforced his entrenched camps,
which contained 30,000 men, by 20,000, whom be brought
from Sebastopol, and established his head-quarters at
Duvankai, a village situated between the two rivers
Belbeck and Katcha. On the morning of the 19th the
allied troops, who had landed at Eupatoria, put them-
selves in march and passed the Alma at different points
where the river was entirely dry, and advanced as far
as Echba. About noon on the 20th they arrived near
Katcbak, where the Russians commanded by Prince
Menschikoff in person, occupied a plain in front of the
mountains of Kalautai. Prince Napoleon first attacked
the Russian right wing in flank with a part of his division
and the 4th English division, while Lord Raglan, at
the head of two English and Turkish divisions drove
the left wing of the enemy fro in his positions. The divi-
sion of General Canrobert occupied the road leading
frora,,Baktchi-Serai to Simpheropol, and drove back on
that town General Komutoff, who, with 4,000 men, was
advancing to the assistance of Prince Menschikoff.
While the enemy were retiring along the coast from the
Alma on the Katscha the line-of battle ships stationed
cavalry
infantry didn
on the coasts threw shells among them with great pre-
cision and success. The Russians lost part of their can-
nonreap
pduring
exceptthei r flight.n
the K a Thert s
ato enemy'scover t
while they passed the river. It only took three hours
for the allies to carry the entrenchments which the enemy
had taken six months to construct, and only half of the
allied troops who had landed took part in this short but
sanguinary struggle. Prince Menschikoff was in a square
formed by a brigade posted on the road from Kalantai,
when the English and French cavalry broke the square,
and he did not escape without difficulty, owing his
safety to the swiftness of his horse. The enemy's troops
continued during the whole night to make for Milie, and
at last threw up entrenchments in that place on the Bel-
beck. It is said that during the combat a great num-
ber of Poles belonging to the Russian army passed
over to the allies. The loss of the Russians amounts
to 6,000 men, killed or prisoners. Prince Menschi-
koff now finds himself reduced to defend the posi-
tion which he has taken up near Sebastopol, and he
has transferred his head-quarters to that place. The
enthusiasm of the allied troops is indescribable. It was
only the right wing of the Russians which resisted for
any time behind its entrenchments ; the left wing gave
way at the very first attack. The Tartars of the villages
of the western part of the Crimea have sent deputations
to the Turkish commander, and have offered to form an
auxiliary corps."

the English Government.

which was to have been attacked by sea and land.
" At the battle of Alma, 3,000 prisoners were
taken.

" The struggle was fierce.

" The Zouaves, tirailleurs, and Scotch Fusi-
liers greatly distinguished themselves.
" The French lost 1,400 killed and wounded.
The loss of the English amounts to 2,000.

" General Thomasson is better.
" The Albatross, Montezuma, and Wolga have
brought wounded to Constantinople.

" The Russians have sunk four vessels at the

"12,000 stand of arms, destined for Schamyl,

" Constantinople was illuminated iu honour of
the battle of the Alma.

" The cavalry has arrived in the Crimea from

Varna."

PARIS, SATURDAY, OCT. 7.

" The Moniteur publishes Marshal St. Arnaud's
report of the battle of Alma. The Russians mus-
tered 40,000 infantry, assembled from all points
of the Crimea, and on the morning of the 20th

they were joined by 6,000 cavalry from Theodosia.

180 field pieces were in position on the heights.

A movement made by General Bosquet outflanked

the left of the Russians and turned some of their
batteries. The English took the Russian right,
and the French formed the centre and covered a
length of three miles. At half after 12 the sig-
nal to advance was made, and the Alma was
crossed in double quick time.

" Prince Napoleon took possession of the village
under the fire of the Russian batteries, and at half-
past 4 the French army was entirely victorious on

Extracts from the Report of the Directors for 1853:
.

" The Directors congratulate their fellow-members on the very grati-
fying result of the recently co rn Acted Quinquennial Investigation of
the assets and liabilities of the Institution, by which it appears that,
on the 20111 November, 1852, after providing for the present value of
all the liabildies in the Life Assurance Department, a surplus re-
mained of 242,6271., which has been duly apportioned as heretofore.
" The reductions range from 5 to 89 per cent. on the original Annual
Premiums, according to the iige of the party and the time the Policy
has been in force; and the Bonuses vary in like manner, from 50 to
75 per cent. on the amount of premiums paid during the last five
years.
" The total amount of the reductions per annum for the ensuing five
years is 33,3481. 17s. 2d
" The Bonuses assigned to those policies on which the original pre-
miums continue to he paid amount to 89,880/ ss. Od. ; this, together
with Bonuses apportioned at former divisions, makes an aggregate
addition to the sums assured by the Policies in force of 126,5641.
" Notwithstanding the at cat reduction of Premiums, the net annual
Income arising from 12,326 existing Policies is 163,9121. 7, ld.; this
sum, with the interest on invested capital, viz., 37,298/. 7s. 31,
shows a total annual income of 201,2101. 14s. 4d."
The amount of Capital exceeds ONE MILLION STERLING.
Nlensbers, whose premiums fall due on the Ist July are reminded
that they must be paid within 30 days from that date.
Prospectuses and all other information may be obtained on appli-
cation to the Office.

" The English advanced in admirable order
against the Russian positions, stormed them, and

RUSSIA.

Letters from St. Petersburg show that, although
the capital was beginning to resume its usual ap-
pearance at the fall of autumn by the return of the
upper circles from their summer excursions, an ex-
cessive depression is being felt in trade, which is
producing an acrimonious feeling throughout the
population. The Government finds itself not only
deprived of its most productive resource in the
Customs' receipts of the Baltic ports, but is com-
pelled already to contrive measures for the relief of
single towns, and will soon have to extend its soli-
citude to entire provinces. The goods which
have entered Russia by the Prussian frontier have
even produced less than the same quantities of
goods would have produced at other times, seeing
that Russia, in her embarrassment at the scarcity
and high price of sugar and colonial wares, had
been obliged to reduce the duties to the amount
at which she had many years ago iu a treaty
with Prussia engaged to fix them, but had as
usual broken the stipulations. For the present
Finland is described as being animated by a very
martial spirit and bearing the disasters of the
war very well, but it may be looked forward to
that when, in addition to the severities of winter,
the demands for the payment of taxes (whether in
the shape of voluntary patriotic contributions or
otherwise) come to be made, the people will, have
little more to offer the Government than the raw
produce of their land ; for as the rich landowners
and tradespeople cannot dispose of their hemp,
flax, skins, and tar, there is neither employment
for the lower classes nor money in circulation.

ADDRESS TO OMER PACHA.

The young men of Wallachia had presented a
complimentary address to Omer Pacha, couched in
very flowery language. Omer Pacha returned the
following rep]y :—" I thank you, in the name of
his Majesty the Padischah, our august master, for
the assurances that you have given him of the fide-
lity and attachment of the inhabitants of Roumelia
to the throne of their legitimate sovereign. His Im-
perial Majesty will he delighted to see justified the
confidence which he has always placed in that people,
and his paternal solicitude will not cease to be ex-
tended overthe country, and to labour for the happi-
ness of its inhabitants. As regards me personally, I
thank you for the confidence with which you have
received me. I will only remark to you that it is
not the first time I have visited your town, and
that I have never doubted of the fidelity and at-
tachment of the Wallachian nation. I will accord-
ingly hasten and deposit at the foot of the Sultan's
throne the expression of your loyal sentiments.
The sympathy which you state you feel for the
troops placed under my command is understood
and appreciated by them, and they will know how
to render themselves worthy of it by their conduct
and discipline. I will do all that is in my power
to advance the happiness of your brave and faith-
ful nation."

pearance at the fall of autumn by the return of the

cessive depression is being felt in trade, which is

The belief has gained general currency that the
summoning of the Fins lately to the military de.
fence of the country was a breach of an engage-
ment made with them by the Emperor .A.loaander,

to the effect that Finland should be relieved from
military service for 50 years, dating from 1809.
Despatches received in the capital mention a
hostile squadron off Revel, August 21. On the
18th and 19th of August a cannonade was heard at
Solsburg in N. W. direction. From same place
(20th) an enemy's liner in sight, fast on a sand-
bank. From Helsingfors and Sweaborg (22d)
cruisers of the enemy exchanged shots with Rus-
sian steamers without further results.

DEPARTURE OF ISMA.EL PACHA.

The Ost. Correspondent says, on the 2d Ismael
Pacha had left Bucharest, with all the political
fugitives, for Anatolia. Prince Gortschakoff has;
removed from Fokschani to the interior of Mol-
davia, and it is fully expected that no time will
now be lost in quitting that province. The cholera
has appeared at Bucharest, but is not often fatal.
