THE BLACK SEA.

The junction of Admiral Bruat, from the Medi-
terranean with four sail of the line, has not only
raised the allied squadrons to a superiority in num-
ber of three deckers, but has enabled Admiral
Dundas to strengthen the squadron detached to
operate on the coast of Circassia.

THE EMPEROR NICHOLAS AND THE
BAMBERG CONFERENCE.

The following is an extract of a letter from
Leipsic, given by the Moniteur—
" The Emperor of Russia has thought proper to
send to the German Courts which participated in the
conference of Bamberg the official expression of his
gratitude. Colonel Isakof has arrived at Dresden,
charged to present to the King of Saxony an autograph
letter from the Czar, and that envoy is afterwards to
proceed to the other Sovereigns to fulfil a similar mis-
sion.

" But the confederates of Bamberg do not show that
they are much flattered by this step. They only see
in it an intention to compromisa them as respects Prus-
sia and Austria. Already Saxony, which was the most
advanced with Bavaria in the coalition of Bamberg, has
proved, by the cold reception given to Colonel Isakof,
that the Russian Government can no longer reckon on
the dissensions of Germany."

ANOTHER VERSION OF THE CZAR'S
REPLY.

A despatch dated Berlin, yesterday, says :—Col.
Mauteuffel returned from St. Petersburg to-day.
The Russian answer is courteous. The Emperor
will willingly resign the exclusive protectorate
over the Greek Christians, if Turkey will accede to
a common protectorate of the Five Powers. He
will evacuate the Principalities when the Western
Powers evacuate Turkey ; but will hold a strong
military position in Moldavia as a provisional
security. _ _ _

The -fleets had undertaken nothing against Cron-
stadt up to the 29th.

ST. PETERSBURG.

- The Cologne Gazette contains a letter from Ber-
lin of the 3rd, which says :—"A letter from St
Petersburg announces that the reply of Russsia to
the Austrian summons will be a refusal, couched in
very moderate language. Russia requires, not only
that the Western Powers shall quit the theatre
of war at the same time as herself, but she insists
on preserving the line of the Sereth. As to the reli-
gious questions, Russia declares that it is not possi-
ble forher to make any concession whatever. Such is
said to be the summary of the reply which General
de Benkendorff is to take to Berlin. Travellers
worthy of credit declare that the great army, said
to be concentrated at Warsaw, has no real exist-
ence, and that the amount attributed to it is as
exaggerated as was that of the army which in-
vaded the Principalities. The pretended 60,000
men of the Baltic are reduced to a few thousands,
who, by continual marches from one place to an-
other, lead to the belief of a colossal army. Pre-
parations are being made for the reception of Rus-
sian troops at Kalish.

DUBLIN AND WICKLOW.

On Taesday Captain Wynne, the Government Inspec-
tor, examined this line preparatory to its being opened
for public traffic. A special train started from Dalkey
at 12 o'clock in the morning, conveying Captain Wynne,
Mr. Dargan, Mr. Muggeridge, and Mr. Purdon, the
engineer. Captain Wynne first inspected that portion
of the line between Dalkey and Bray, and afterwards
the portion between Dundrum and Dublin. For the
purpose of enabling the shareholders to view the line, it
is intended to run a special train on Saturday next, for
which tickets will be issued. The lino will be finally
opened for public traffic on Monday next, the 10th inst.

THE INDIAN BUDGET.

Captain BELLEW begged to ask the right hon. gentle-
man the President of the Board of Control at what time
it was his intention to make his financial statement rela-
tive to the affairs of India?

Sir C. WOOD—In consequence of the pressure of busi
ness which it is desirable to send to the other house, I be.
lieve I shall not be able to make the statement before Mon.

RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE.

THE AMALGAMATION OF THE RAILWAYS
IN THE EASTERN COUNTIES.

Yesterday special meetings of the shareholders of the
Eastern Counties, Norfolk, Eastern Union, East Ang-
lian, and Newmarket Railway Companies were held, in
pursuance of the standing orders of the House of Lords.
for the purpose of having submitted to them " A Bill for
authorising arrangements between the Eastern Counties
Railway Company and all or any of the Norfolk, the
Eastern Union, the East Anglian, and the Newmarket
Railway Companies, for the amalgamation of their re-
spective interests, and for other purposes."
The measure was sanctioned at all the meetings. The
companies will not be at liberty to oppose the principle
of the amalgamation, but may refer the question of de-
tails. The Eastern Counties Company is bound to ap-
ply for an act for amalgamation before the year 1862.

TESTAMENTARY JURISDICTION BILL.

In answer to Lord ST. LEONARD;
The LORD CHANCELLOR said it was the inten
Lion of the Government to withdraw for the present
session the Testamentary Jurisdiction Bill. The reason
for taking this course was the difficulty which would
arise in considering this bill, without having before them
the whole question of ecclesiastical jurisdiction. He,
however, meant to go on with the Divorce Bill, which
could be easily dealt with separately, and which, if
passed, would effect a very necessary and much-desired
improvement in the existing law.
UNIVERSITY OF OXFORD.

The Earl of DERBY presented a petition from 145
resident members of the University of Oxford, against
the separation of the University from the Established
Church.

The Earl of WINCHESTER strongly inveighed
against the proposal to separate the University from the
Church, which, he said, if carried into effect, would
lead to the downfall of the Throne and all our institu-
tions.

AUSTRIA.

The German Journal of Frankfort, under date
of Vienna, says :—" An expression made use of by
an eminent personage has caused a great sensa-
tion. He is said to have stated that Austria is
firmly resolved not to return the sword into the
scabbard until Europe shall have received every
guarantee for its independence and the mainte-
nance of peace for the future. The position of
Austria becomes every day more serious and more
threatening, and great events may be shortly ex-
pected."_

The Independanee of Brussels, of yesterday,
says that a despatch reached that city on the pre-
vious evening from Vienna announcing that the
entrance of the Austrian troops into the Princi-
palities has decidedly been suspended until the
receipt of the reply of the Czar.

HOUSE OF LORDS.—(THIS EVENING.)
The LORD CHANCELLOR, took his seat on the woolsack
at five o'clock.

MARINE CASUALTIES.

Lord FINGALL presented a petition from the in-
habitants of the county of the town of Drogheda, em-
bodying a full statement of marine casualties for the last
four and a half years, and praying for the most efficient
and impartial Government survey of that dangerous coast,
in order that a harbour of refuge be constructed in the
most judicious position.
CONSOLIDATION OF THE STATUTE LAW.

In reply to Lord LYNDHURST,
The LORD CHANCELLOR did not intend to in.
troduce any bills this session founded upon the reports
of the commissioners for the consolidation of the statute
law, but the reports would be printed, in order that they
might be considered during the recess, but next session
he would propose certain bills grounded on the reports
with the view of their passing into law.
London, England, 1854-07-07

STATE OF THE RUSSIAN ARMY.

Whilst on this subject, it may be added that the
medical correspondent of the Vienna Medicinal
eekly Sheet, who is employed in the Russian
army, declares that the mortality among the sick,
wounded, and so-called " marodeurs " (stragglers
who fall out of ranks from fatigue, sore feet, or
from worse motives), amounts at the present time
to 63 per cent., or more than double what it was
three months past. The letter ends thus :
"All bad elements and misfortunes, together with the
totally sunken courage and completely dissipated self-
confidence of the Russian troops, have combined, within
the last two months, to produce these unheard-of effects
among the ranks of the 4th and sth corps, which had
been in part admirably held together. In fact, even the
oppressed, exhausted, and maltreated Wallachians, now
that 'retreat' can neither disguise nor mask flight, feel
pity for the sick and wounded passing through, or re-
maining at, this place (Russian camp near Bucharest).
Woe to the dreaded conqueror for whom the conquered
commence to feel pity !"
Lamentable as may be the loss of the Russian
army from sickness, from fatigue, and from
unsub-
stantial food—to say nothing of loss by battle--this
is nothing compared with' the profound-noral
wound which has been inflicted upon the
military
y-
prowess of the army by the compulsory
ment of its anticipated triumphant progress,ab of that
progress which was regarded as so irresistible that
the highest military and political authorities of
Austria and Prussia deemed it expedient to guard
against "the passage" of the victorious columns over
the Balkan, byinsertipg a protective clause in their
offensive and defensive treaty. There can be no
doubt that the armaments of Austria have necessi-
tated as a matter of precaution, the establishment
of corresponding strategical dispositions and con-
centrations in Wolhynia, Podolia, Moldavia, and
north-oastern Wallachia. Nor can it be denied
that the arrival of the Anglo-French troops within
four or five days' march of the Russian left flank
before Silistria, have rendered it imperative on the
Russian general to well weigh the risks of giving
or receiving battle in front of that place, and that
they have largely contributed to his abandonment
of the right Danube bank. But meantime the Ot-
toman forces have borne the whole brunt of war
from its opening. All that has been effected has
been done by them single-handed. Their activity
on one side, and indomitable endurance on the
other, have barred the progress of the enemy,
and afforded time to their slow-creeping allies to
arrive nearly within hearing, if not sight, of the
enemy. It is true also, on the other hand, that
whilst the Russian General has shown himself con-
summately inferior, the Turkish commander has
exhibited military talents of the highest order.

North Sea and the Baltic.

It is expected that ono of the companies of Royal
Sappers and Miners at present at Chatham will be sent
to the Baltic ; and Colonel Jones, commandant of Royal
Engineers at Chatham, will also proceed to the same
desti nation.

Major C. C. Young's No. 2 company, 12th battalion,

afternoon, and are to hold themselves in readiness to
embark on the shortest notice.

Captain Cleaveland's, No. 8 company, 12th battalion,
on being relieved from the Tower yesterday, returned to
Woolwich and marched direct into camp on Woolwich-
common, Captain Townsend's company being withdrawn
from the camp to prepare for immediate embarkation for
the East.

LATEST FOREIGN NEWS.

THE WAR.
THE FLEETS BEFORE CRONSTADT.

Other telegraphic advices confirm what we
published yesterday, as to the first shot having been
fired at Cronstadt. They are to the effect that on
Tuesday last, the 4th instant, Sir Charles Napier
was still before Cronstadt, with his screw steam
squadron, challenging the Russian fleet. H.M.S.
Desperate attempted to engage a steamer which
peered out from behind the batteries, but the
Russian drew back as soon as the shot began to fly.
Tho cholera is making great ravages among the
garrison of Cronstadt.

SECOND BOMBARDMENT OF BOMARSUND.

A telegraphic despatch from Copenhagen, dated
yesterday, confirms the second bombardment of
Bomarsund. The fortress is destroyed. The
troops are occupying the place.
Under-water mines are said to be sunk at
Hango Point.

RETREAT OF THE RUSSIANS.
On the Ist, the head-quarters of Prince Gortscha-
koff were transferred from Kalarasch to Urzitseni.
The Russians have undermined all the roads from
Moldavia to Transylvania.

A private letter -from Galatz (Moldavia) states—
" Since the passage of the Danube, we have been
unmolested. In my opinion, we have nothing to
fear here from the retreat of the Russian forces
(which is now confidently spoken of, in consequence
of their not having succeeded in taking Silistria),
as all the bridges have been removed to the present
seat of war, and the water is too high on the
marshes (which extend for many miles on each side
of Galatz, on the Turkish bank) to allow of a re-
treat by the route that they took in crossing from
hence."

LANCASTER AND CARLISLE.

The half-yearly meeting of this company was held
yesterday at Lancaster, Mr. E. W. Hasell in the chair.
The report stated that the balance from the last ac-
count was' 4,0431., which, added to the receipts,
amounted to 88,9061., out of which the directors recom-
mend a dividend at the rate of 8 per cent. per annum;
which, with the proportion payable to the Lancaster and
Preston Railway Company, and the interest on loans,
would require 87,9741., and 1,0001. carried to the re-
newal fund, which leaves 1121. The present dividend of
8 per cent. absorbs as much, within 6661., as was re-
quired to pay 8/ per cent. on the capital in March last,
owing to the dividend now paid on the new third shares.
The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the report,
congratulated the shareholders on the improving position
of their line, and moved the adoption of the report.
Mr. H. HOWARD seconded the motion.
- The report was adopted, and a dividend of 8 per cent.
was declared.
Mr. Howard and Colonel Maclean were re-elected
directors.
A. vote of thanks to the chairman concluded the pro-
= •ceedings.

SEAMEN'S LETTERS FOR THE BLACK SEA

FLEET.

Several letters have been received by friends and
relatives of seamen serving in the Black Sea fleet, com-
plaining of the present regulations as to their letters. They
state that all the seamen's, marines', and boys' letters go
no further than Malta in the mails, and are kept there un-
til one of their own vessels happen to go down for them.
The officers' letters, which go out by the same mail
are forwarded frequently from Malta. It is no un.
frequent occurrence for the seamen to have three or four
letters by the same vessel, whilst the officers receive their
letters at different periods within the same space of time.

THE GUN-BOATS.

The second of the solely gun-vessels building for her Ma-
jesty's Government will be launched from Pitoher's yard,
Northfieet, on Saturday.
The following is a communication on the subject of screw
steam despatch gun-boats :

Sir,—Adverting to the correspondence which has lately
appeared in your columns, relative to the screw steam de-
spatch gun-boats now •fitting out, and to the very able cotn-
ineuts advanced in the articles contained thereon in yonr
journal, and useful as might be, undoubtedly, many of the
observations made by your correspondent " Eye Witness,"
one suggestion contained in his letter of the 26th instant,
viz., that these boats should bo so constructed as to be
able to carry troops, together with the necessary amtnuni-
tion, stores, and provisions. I cannot but think is totally
at valiance with the service for which they are destined.
It is obviously impossible that the qualities which would
be indispensable for the accommodation of a body of
troops could be combined with space necessary for wint-
ing.guns of such heavy calibre as they carry, and with the
great speed, to attain which is so desirable an object.
It is to be hoped, at any rate, that before long the ex-
ploits of the Wrangler, and her sister ships, will meet with
that success which is so fully expected of them.

AUSTRIA.

VIENNA, Aug. 27.—The sukHcription to the Aus-
trian loan closo,l fora month. It, amounts to nearly
five liunired willion of florins.

His Excellency B.Lron Edouard de. Bach, the
newly appointed civil commissioner of the Austrian
army in the East, left, Vienna yesterday for Bucha-
rest. The governorship hitherto held by this a,;-
cOmplishol and much-esteemed public functionary
in Upper Austria will not be otherwise disposed of
during his absence, hopes being entertained that
Isis excellenoy's services in the principalities may
not be of very long duration. Toe post of gover-
nor of Upper Austria is, therefore, being retained
fur him.

CIVIL GOVERNMENT OF THE GLAND
ISLES.

The Cologne Gazette has the following from
Stockholm, dated the. 22d. It is singular, how-
ever, that a fact of this kiud should not have been
mentioned- in any of the telegraphic communica-
tions :—" Toe French general has handed eve: to
the civil government of the Maud islands to tht,
Crown Provost, M. Lyguell."
RUSSIA.
THE RUSSIAN VICTORY AT KARS.

The Journal de St. Petersbonry of the 231
August publishes the report of Prince Bebuf,off,
relative to the battle of August 5, near Kars.
While mentioning the victory gained by the troops
under his orders, the Russian General renders
lionia4e to the valour of the Turks, " who dis-
played," he says, " a power of resistance which our
oldest i.soldiers had never experienced from them."
" After having received this reprt," says the
Invalide husse, " the Emperor testified his great
satisfaction at so brilliant and useful a victory, and
conferred the order of St. Andrew on Prince
Bebutoff."

RUSSIAN ACCOUNT OF THE OPERATIONS
AGAINST SCHAMYL.

The Russian Invalid contains the followinc, short
reports relative to operations against Sehamyl :
"At the time of Schainyi's abortive attempt on the
left flank of our Lesghian line, the mountaineers were
beaten on their points of the Caucasus.
" In obedience to the commands of the Commander of
the Caucasian corps, the chiefs of troops cantuned on the
plateau of Kouinyk, in the Tchetchnia. and in Northern
Daghestan, successfully executed divers expeditions
against (mils of the rebels thernselve.
" On the 29th of June, Colonel Baron Nicolai ad-
vanced up the river Yaryk-Sou, and after an obstinate
engagement took several strong entrenchments aban-
doned by the enemy at Goitemir and completely de-
stroyed them.
" From the Ist to the sth of July, Major-General
Baron Wrangel (not to be confounded with the lieut.-
general) penetrated into the Tchetchnia and ravaged the
villages of Mezenc.

"bn the 7th of July, Lieut.-General Prince Orbe-
liani IL, having penetrated by Subak into the territory
of the Salataivestir, destroyed the populous village of
Bourtoupai. Finally, Colonel Baron Nicolai again
threw himself into the territory of Akouhortsis, and hav-
ing occupied a fortified post of the enemy on the Yaman-
Sou, now burned down the souls of Sadi-Yourt and
,a,i-You rt.

"In these diffk,rent affairs, we have only had 61 men
kille 1. and 10 subalternA and 71 men wounded.

" The stidlenne,s and rapidity of these movements
assured their success. Wi .hout connting the great losses
su,tained by the rebels, an important object has been
attained, that of diverting. the principal assembly of
SALamyl, cons,sting 5,000 men, who hastened to pro.
tent their taunlie3 and hearths."

BOYLE VERSUS WISEMAN.—At a Meeting
of the friends of civil and religious liberty, held at the Free-
masons' Tavern, on Thursday, August 31, 1854,
R. N. FOWLER, Esq., in the chair,
The following reslutions were unanimously agreed to:—

1. That freedom of access to Courts of Justice, impartiality of
treatment there. with unimpeded appeal to the common sense and
hottest verdict of a jury, have ever 13.-en, and ought to be, the privi-
legeefreormthtlilereesupOtrrtYs •of the universal press

r, Ph e,
—and without pronouncing any judgment on the merits of the case—
Boyle v. Wiseman, tried at Guildford, August 12—we cannot
but view with anxiety and alarm the startling announce-
ment that a Cardinal of the Roman Catholic Church may write
what he pleases in a foreign Roman Catholic Journal about a poor
priest of his church, and a British subject—that the article may be
copied into all the Roman Catholic papers of this country—that the
law does not allow that Cardinal to be even asked if he will own the
authorship, or can prove ' is statements—that a Judge of this Protes-
tant country can interpose is veto to stay inquiry, and TIECO.. sarily
produce a nonsuit, leaving the statements with all their possible un-
truth uncontrad feted ; and the writer, if guilty, untried, unpunished,
and unpunishable, and one stern, dominant, ultramontane will hold-
ing the speech and' conduct of every subordinate in deep and drear
subjection.
3. That, acting under the advice of eminent counsel, we consider
that a new trial should be sought, on the ground of misdirection by
the Judge.
4. That a subscelption he immediately opened to raise funds suffi-
cient to defray tile necessary expenses that must be incurred, and an
appeal to he mode to the public on behalf of a cause that so affects
in its re ults the liberty and security of th's free country.
5. That R. N. Fowler, Fsq., be the treasurer to the fund; and the
Rev. J. W. Worthington, D.D., '27, Jobn-strut, Bedford row ; Henry
Bateman, Esq , 35, Sun-street, Bishopsgate ; and Robert Wm. Ken-
nard, Esq., 67, Upper Thames street, be trusteer, who shall see to its
exact appropriation for the.parposes intended.
Subscriptions (a list of Whieli will be shortly published) will be
received by Messrs. Dimsdale, Drewett, Fowler, and Co., bankers,

DEATH OF A VETERAN.

"We record with regret the death of Lieut.-General Thos.
Dalmer, C. 8., colonel of the 47th Regiment, which took
place suddenly at Hawkhurst, Kent, on Saturday. Gene-
ral Dalmer had been over 57 years in the army, and took
part in most of our warlike operations from the close of
the last century to Waterloo, having served with the ex-
peditions to Ostend in 1798, to Holland in the following
year, and to Ferrol, Vigo Bay, and Cadiz in 1800. He
was in Egypt with Sir Ralph Abcrcromby, in the expedi-
tion to Hanover in 1805, and that to Copenhagen in 1807.
The following year found him at Corunna, and in the
Peninsular campaigns of 1811-12-13, he shared in the
actions of El Bodon and Aldea de Ponto, and the battles
of Salamanca and Vittoria. General Daly= also Pas
