to Varna, after a conference with the Sultan.

The Journal de Constantinople states that a heavy
cannonade was opened upon Sebastopol during the
last reconnaissance. Seine shells fell even in the
town itself.

An actiontook place on the 29th ult. at Babadagh
between the Bashi-Bazouks, under Youssuf, and
the Cossacks. The latter were repulsed. A
French colonel received seven lance-wounds, but
none of them dangerous.
CONSTAXTiNOPLE (via Trieste), Aug. 7.—The ex-

Russians..

Porte shall never claim sovereignty over the Cau-
casus. He demands an offensive and defensive
treaty against Russia for future eventualities.
Another despatch of the 7th inst. states that
Shamyl is said to offer the Porte 50,000 men, if it
will recognise the independence of the Caticasus.
The cholera is decreasing.

POLAND.

A correspondent writes from Cracow, on the
10th inst. :

" The day before yesterday an order arrived from
Warsaw to all the Customs' officers on the Cracow fron-
tiers—viz : in Maczki, Szyce, iVlichalowice, Baran, and
Tgolotnia—to hold themselves in readiness to retire in-
land, in case of the advance of Austrian army
towards the frontiers of Poland. They are to balance
their accounts, and, under circumstances, are to deliver
up the government archives and money to the au-
thorities at Kielce. In consequence of this, all the
officials at the Polish custom-houses have packed up
their personals, and made themselves quite ready for a
s'idden journey into the interior. What the meaning of
this is no one can say : but it is none the less a fact that
such an order has been issued."

THE FIREWORKS.

Thousands were drawn to the Parade to witness the
fireworks, and the Prince of Wales embarked from Os-
borne on board the Royal yacht. From some cause, to
us unknown, there was so much delay between the dif-
ferent displays that the company was very dissatisfied.
Seven yachts are entered for the Royal Yacht Squa-
dron 100 Guinea Cap, to be competed for on Saturday.

THE FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE NORTH LONDON
RAILWAY.--On inquiries yesterday at the German Hos-
pital, Dalston, it was ascertained that the two assistant
guards, Richard Nation and James Waygood, who were
so dreadfully, and at first supposed to be fatally, injured
by the alarming collision which occurred by the goods
train running into a passenger—train, near Kingsland,
on the evening of Monday last, were progressing favour-
ably under the skilful attention, of Dr. Rankes. The
pour stoker of the passenger train (John Blencowe),
who, it will be remembered, was dreadfully scalded, is
now in a fair way of recovery. The inquest on the body
of John Allen, the engine-driver, who, it may be men-
tioned, was a very steady and skilful driver, and ran the
first train through the line, has not yet been fixed, owing
to some at present unexplained circumstances, but will,
no doubt, be held on Friday morning, when the result
of a minute examination just made will be elicited.
h
The body of the poor man (Allen), which still lies at
the Crown, St. Paul's-road Highbury, where it was
removed after the accident, is very much disfigured, the
lower part of the face and jaws being completely crush-
ed
nd;

ST. PETERSBURG.

The St. Petersburg Journal of the 10th contains
Count Nesselrode's despatch to Prince Lieven
written in January, 1830, in reply to Lord
Aberdeen's despatch.
The St. Petersburg correspondent of the Presse
writes from thence, under date of the 6th inst. :
" On the Ist the English prisoners captured at the at-
tack on Gamla Karleby arrived at Helsingfors, escorted
by a detachment of Cossacks. The Emperor has thanked
the mercantile community of Odessa, through General
Osten-Sacken, for their offer to establish a telegraphic
communication between that town and Otschakoff. The
evacuation of Wallachia by the Russian troops is known
here, but it is considered merely a strategical manoeuvre
for purposes of concentration, and to receive reinforce-
ments from other quarters. Not a word about peace is
uttered here ; and if any one wishes it, he dare not ex-
press his thoughts, as the old Russian war-party entirely
governs public opinion. The voluntary contributions do
not seem to flow so plentifully as heretofore, for lately
only some isolated gifts have been announced."

MALTA.

MALTA, Aug.—The Emperor sailed on the Bth,
with 20 large boats for the landing of troops.
The Jason has arrived.

CONSTANTINOPLE.

CONSTANTINOPLE (via Marseilles), Aug. 5.
Marechal de St. Arnaud returned on the 21 inst.
to Varna, after a conference with the Sultan.

The Journal de Constantinople state 3 that a heavy
cannonade was opened upon Sebastopol during the
last recoan%issance. Some shells fell even in the
town itself.

An action took place on the 29th ult. at Babadagh
between the Blshi-Bazouks, under Youssuf, and
the Cossacks. The latter were repulsed. A
French colonel received seven lance-wounds, but
none of them dangerous.
CONSTANTINOPLU (via Trieste), Aug. 7.—The ex-
pedition against the Crimea, and, consequently,
against Sebastopol, has commenced.
Schamyl, it is said, will require the Porte to re-
nounce all right of sovereignty over Circassia.

Anapa and Nevessitch are still occupied by the
Russians.

Ad vices from Constantinople of the 7th, received
victVienna, state that the expedition to the Crimea
will be speedy and certain. It has been resolved
to land 60,000 men.

Schamyl hesitates, and demands security that the
Porte shall never claim sovereignty over the Cau-
casus. He demands an offensive and defensive
treaty against Russia for future eventualities.
Another despatch of the 7th inst. states that
Shamyl is said to offer the Porte 50,000 men, if it
will recognise the independence of the Caucasus.
The cholera is decreasing.
SMYRNA, AUG. 9.—The cholera has disappeared.
TREBIZOND.—The Russians still hold Anapa and
Noworosynsk.
London, England, 1854-08-17

POLAND.

A correspondent writes from Cracow, on the
10th inst. :

"The day before yesterday an order arrived from
Warsaw to all the Customs' officers on the Cracow fron-
tiers—viz : in Maczki, Szyce, Michalowice, Baran, and
Tgolomia—to hold themselves in readiness to retire in-
land, in case of the advance of the Austrian army
towards the frontiers of Poland. They are to balance
their accounts, and, under circumstances, are to deliver
up the government archives and money to the au-
thorities at Kielce. In consequence of this, all the
officials at the Polish custom-houses have packed up
their personals, and made themselves quite ready for a
sudden journey into the interior. What the meaning of
this is no one can say : but it is none the less a fact that
such an order has been issued."
London, England, 1854-08-17

RUSSIAN VICTORY AT BAJEZID.

Advices, dated St. Petersburg, 14th inst., an-
nounco that the Russians, under Gen. Wrangel,
were victorious at Bajezid on the Ist of August.
The Russian version says that 3,000 Turks were
slain, four guns, seventeen colours, and two
camps captured.

The Russians, says the same version, subse•
quently occupied Bajezid. -

ST. PETERSBURG.

The St. Petersburg Journal of the 10th contains
Count Nesselrode's despatch to Prince Lieven
written in January, 1830, in reply to Lord
Aberdeen's despatch.
The St. Petersburg correspondent of the Presse
writes from thence, under date of the 6th inst. :
" On the Ist the English prisoners captured at the at-
tack on Gamla Karleby arrived at Helsingfors, escorted
by a detachment of Cossacks. The Emperor has thanked
the mercantile community of Odessa, through General
Osten-Sacken, for their offer to establish a telegraphic
communication between that town and Otschakoff. The
evacuation of Wallachia by the Russian troops is known
here, but it is considered merely a strategical manoeuvre
for purposes of concentration, and to receive reinforce-
ments from other quarters. Not a word about peace is
uttered here ; and if any one wishes it, he dare not ex-
press his thoughts, as the oid Russian war-party entirely
governs public opinion. The voluntary contributions do
not seem to flow so plentifully as heretofore, for lately
only some isolated gifts have been announced."

also cry up the hardihood shown by another Greek, in
executing with the Russian frigate, the Wladirnir, the
coup de main, unattended, however, with any result of
importance, which displayed, in spite of the vessels
Bruising about, the Russian flag at the entrance of the
Bosphorus, and captured three Turkish barges laden
with coals. This Greek is named Photiades. It appears
that the Russian Government intends to heap honours
on him, partly to recompense him for his boldness, and
partly to win over the sympathies of his countrymen.
London, England, 1854-08-28

RETREAT OF THE RUSSIANS.

A telegraphic despatch from Cze,rnowitz, of the
20th, states that the Russians were effecting their
retreat across the Pruth with great precipitation,
and that thousands of carts had gone to transport
the sick and provisions. The demands made for
the supply of the storehouses of Wallachia must
now have ceased.

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE at HARPENDEN.
•`llarpenden, June is, 1854.
"Gentlemen, I have great pleasure in adding my testimony to
the value of your Fireproof Sa es.
" Last 'Monday night my house, warehouse, and premises were
unfortunately burned down; the lire raged very fearfully for about
two hours, and, owing to the great scarcity of water, the whole of
my premises and stock were consumed.
"'I he safe I purchased of you had a most severe test, in conse-
quence of a t•arrel or brimstone standing close to it and melting with
the heat of the fire, the burning lava running all over and under the
safe, whh•h great y added to the intensity of the heat; it rem tined
in that position about four hours, and when with great difficulty it
was cot out of the fire and opened, I found my books and papers all
uninjured.

"You are at liberty to make what use you please of this informa-
tion.

"I am, gentlemen, yours respectfully

" WM. WALKER.
" Messrs. Thos. Milner and Son, 17e., Moor,gate-street, London."
" Agricultural Laboratory, Harpenden, July 6, 1854
" Gentlemen,—l was present at the late fire which destroyed the
premises of Mr. Walker, Harpenden, and was much surprised at the
grent amount of heat your safe resisted, and still more surprises
(when it was made known to me that a barrel of sulphur stood near
it) that it was not entb ely destroyed.
" Ileng anxious to see if it had been a'aracted by the sulphur, I
scraped some of the blistered iron from the inside and outside of the
safe, and, from analysis, find much sulphuret, so that it must have
been greatly acted upon by the sulphur, yet the books and papers
were perfectly uninjured.
" I must in Justice say that your safes are invaluable, and very
necessary for every one who has books sad accounts of any value.
I am, Gentlemen, yours very faithfully,

- Messrs. Thos. Milner and Son, 47&, Moorgate-street." SIMCOE.
