OUR NAVAL .RESERVE.

A full account has been given of the, powerful
fleets which have been designated for service in the
Black Sea and the Baltic. We do not suppose
it likely that they will prove inadequate for the hot
work they will have to encounter ; but even if they
do, and supposing both of those magnificent fleets
should be destroyed, we have ample material in our
home ports to supply their places. From our ships in
reserve and building we could form a naval force far
surpassing that which any other nation in the world can
boast of having afloat. We give the _following lists, re-
marking though some of the vessels may not without
considerable repairs be in a state to send to sea, yet that
most of them are excellent sea-going vessels—far supe-
rior indeed to anything Russian—and could be fitted out
for service on very short notice

GOLD AT THE CAPE.

• _ _ __ _
The subject of the discovery of gold is attracting
great attention at the Cape. Some samples came
home by the Hyda,spes for the Government.
The Port Elizabeth Mercury; of the 18th Feb-
ruary, says :
" Information was received from the neighbourhood
of Burghersdorp; by several persons in the town, that
gold had been discovered in the neighbourhood of Smith-
field, and that several grains of gold had been obtained,
varying in size from small particles up to nuggets of 20,
23, and 54 grains a-piece. A gentleman who arrived
yesterday from Burghersdorp, and on whose judgment
reliance can be placed, states that he has seen, handled.
and tested in every possible way, several specimens of
the ore, and that there is not the slightest doubt left on
his mind that it is veritable gold, and that it can be ob-
tained from the neighbourhood of Smithfield in consider-
able quantities."
The Graham's Town Journal gives the following
extract of a letter from Queenstown, dated the
15th February :
" You will have heard, ere this reaches you, of the
discovery of gold at Smithfield. There is no doubt as
to its truth. Mr. Vowe, the magistrate of that place,
was here, and showed me a specimen in my shop yes-
terday. He informs us it has been dug up in a dozen
different spots snico its first discovery.
In addition to the various reports respecting the
discovery of gold in the sovereignty, the following
extracts from private letters have been published :
"- Smithfield Court-house, Feb. 10.
" Great excitement ! Another nugget of gold has
been found, weighing 52 grains. Gold diggings within
three hours of Aliwal. - Two samples of nuggets have
been sent to Graaf-Reinet by the post."
" ALIWAL.—The enclosed two nuggets came to hand
just as the post was closiag. Gold has been discovered
1 within a few hours of this and Smithfield. That this is
a fact, and no hoax, is almost incredible, but you will
perceive it by the specimens I enclose. Nuggets con.

THREE VICTORIES GAINED
BY THE TURKS.

A report from Omer Pacha, says the Morning
Post in a second edition of to-day, confirms the
fact that there had been three glorious actions
at the passage of the Danube, but that, in pun-.
suance of orders, the troops had retreated in the
line of"Karason.

AUSTRIA AND PRUSSIA.

CONOLUSION OF AN. OFFENSIVE AND

and Baron Hess and Count Than on the other."

the final act of Vienna shmild he struck out—for it says,
tote,: a collective power, e,t,hii-hed on a principle of

hope that it will not be allowed to escape !"

THE WEATHER IN THE BALTIC.

Subjoined are the latest advices relative to the state
of the navigation in the Baltic :
BOLDERAA, April 6. During the last week the wea-
ther has been almost constantly warm, but the gulf is
still filled with large masses of ice, by which the navi-
gation is rendered very dangerous. In the channel,
as well as at the mouth of the river, the ice is still
fast. Of the vessels which have arrived during the
last week, nine have been cut in to the whiter
harbour, two are in the roadstead, and thirteen off,
but cannot get in on account of the ice. Wind
W.S.W., temperature 6 deg. warmth. The gale at W.
of last night has again driven the ice from sea towards
the shore,: and as the roads and sea-channel are com-
pletely covered therewith no communication can be had
from land with the vessels that have arrived off. They
are lying rather a considerable distance off the roads in
the ice, and the geeater part of them fast therein.
PILLAU, April 10.—On the-sth April the rivers be-
came navigable, and shipping has commenced. On the
bar there are 154 feet water.
DANZIG, April 11.—The weather is getting better.

commodore has said to you, and all I have to say is,
you must be cool and collected--don't throw your
shot away. A shot fired in the air or the water is
of no use. Make every one of them tell ; we have
quite a different system now to what we had in
the last war. I have no doubt some of you
have been in action before, but it will be diffe-
rent to what you have been accustomed to ; but
Admiral Chads showed you the other day that a shell
bursting between decks is not so dangerous as you
imagine, and if one comes on your deck, you must lie
down, and it won't hurt you more than the common
splinters of an ordinary action. Should we meet the
Russian fleet at sea, as I dare we shall, you well know
how to dispose of them. We will now man the rigging,
and give three cheers for the Queen, God bless her !'
" The men rushed to the rigging and gave three times
three for the Queen and one cheer more, and three for
the commander-in-chief. This was followed by the rest of
the fleet, and peal after peal came floating over the
waters until the most distant sounded like the echo of
the other. Hands were piped down—men under
punishment were forgiven, and an extra glass of grog
given each man at supper time. The flying squadron of
paddle-wheels, under Admiral Plumridge, left us imme-
diately after for the edge of the ice. They are gone to
watch the movements of the enemy, and to look after
some ships laden with sulphur and lead, which are in
a fix' in the ice. They will be prizes worth taking, if
they turn up.
" sth. A steamer took Mr. Nugent, R.E., this morn-
ing to Stockholm, for the purpose of examining some
charts and plans. Boscawen, Capt. W. F. Glanville,
arrived, but brought no news. Tribute, Amphion, Ini-
perieuse, and Lightning accompany Admiral Chads to
the ice."

ITALY.

The Milan. Gazette publishes a .notification, by
which the Imperial Lieutenant of Lombardy re-
serves to himself during the state of siege the right
of regulating the quantity.of saltpetre to be pro-
duced in the province and its consumption.
The Armonia of Turin, a clerical organ, publishes
an address from the Subalpine and Ligurian bishops
to the Piedniontese Senate, praying it to reject the
bill on the modifications of the Penal Code—first,
because it tends to restrict thQ freedom of the
Divine word (meaning the restrictions it contains
on preachers with regard to political matters) ;
and, secondly, because it gives too much freedom
to dissenters from the Catholic faith. The follow-
ing passage of the address is remarkable
The bill consecrates as a truth the complete equality
of all Piedmontese subjects before the law, as if Catho-
lics and Protestants were perfectly equal in. the face of
God and the Church, so as to enjoy the same rights and
liberties in matters of worship."
The Duchess Regent of Parma has issued a decree,
by which she provisionally assumes the attributions
of Grand Master of the Order of Constantine.

" The whole of the fleet is now in the Black Sea.
" The new Mufti was insulted on the 3d.
" The declaration of war reached Constanti-
nople on the oth.

" The Porte was about to issue a manifesto in
consequence.
Lord Stratford has addressed to the British
Consuls a circular condemning the Greek insurrec-
tion.

" There was nothing new on the Danube up to
the 12th."

Accounts from Constantinople, of the sth inst.,
date that Count. Zamoiski has at length received
the permission of the Turkish Government to form
a Polish legion. The legion, when organised, will
be sent into Armenia, and serve against the Rus-
sians in Georgia. Count Zamoiski is the nephew
of Prince Adam Czartoriski.

SPAIN.

A communication from Madrid, of April 11,
mentions that Lord Howden has addressed a note
to the Spanish Government requiring that it shall
close its ports against Russian privateers, if Russia
issues letters of marque.
The Madrid Gazette of the 10th contains a royal
decree, accepting, on account of his ill health, Gene-
ral Count de Mirsasol's resignation of the post of
Captain-General of Andalusia. It also announces
that M. de Grimaldi had obtained the Grand Cross

ST. PETERSBURG.

According to the Austrian Lloyds, the recent
military measures of Russia, as regards discharged
soldiers, will procure her a reserve of 150,000 men.
These men are to be formed into corps for garrison
service. As to the demi-invalids who have also
been called on to serve, they are, it is said, to be
sent to the theatre of war principally to occupy
fortresses. The Czar was about to consent to the
organisation of free corps in the different pro-
vinces ; the war department had drawn up a plan
on the subject.
The Abeille du Nord of St. Petersburg publishes
the following notice, addressed U. the merchants :
" The Department of Foreign Commerce announces
that orders have been given to the frontier custom-
houses of Polangen, of Tanroggen, and of Jourbourg-
1. To receive, in order to be forwarded to the custom-
houses of St. Petersburg, Moscow, and Riga, all the
merchandise which may be declared at the custom-
houses of these latter towns, even if their entry by those
frontier custom-houses should not be authorised by the
tariff. 2. In order to accelerate the expedition by land
of foreign merchandise destined for the custom-houses of
the ports of the Baltic, and for Moscow, there will only
be placed on these packages exterior lead ( des Arabs
exterieurs ), without submitting them to a second pack-
ing, which is prescribed by the rules of the custom-house
for articles of merchandise not visited at the frontier."

The nomination of General Rakazowsky, the
governor of Finland as dictator in the duchy, has
excited universal alarm. Immense purchases are
being made for the troops, but the unfortunate
sellers are paid, in quittances, that is, iu worthless
assignats. At all the village inns, from St. Pe-
tersburg to Bjorneborg, there are troops of horses
and vehicles for the transport of soldiery. Pur-
chases are being made at Uleaborg for the forces
expected there.
The Czar has addressed an autograph letter to
Rakazowsky, the governor of Finland, full of com-
pliment for the excellent reception given him by
the Finnish people—under strict orders from the
police !—on his late visit.
Lieutenant-General Nordenstam is to command
the staffs of the troops in Finland.
The whole line of road from St. Petersburg to
Helsingfors is black with every kind of vehicle
transporting an endless military materiel. Can-
non, estafettes, hay-waggons, powder-tumbrilg,
&c., pass each oth,_.r perpetually. The first Rus-
sian regiment which marched from St. Petersburg
on its way to Finland was the King of Prussia's
grenadier regiment. What a happy coincidence !
• A plan is under consideration in St. Petersburg
for compelling the whole population in Finland to
remove into the interior of Russia. If this were
even attempted, it would surpass anything in 1110-
dera history for diabolical cruelty. Most likely
the Emperor will content himself with flinging
large masses of troops into the unfortunate duchy.
At this moment 11,000'1-nen are in Uamley Karleby,
14,000 in Nykarleby, 25,000 in and near Vasa, and
so on. Everything is enormously dear.

A R,HENISH" GRETNA GREEN.

The Stoats Anzeiger of Sunday, the 9th instant, con-
tains the following text of a law passed in the present
session :

" Male foreigners who may in our States desire to con-
tract marriage with a female Prussian subject, or with a
female foreigner, have, in addition to their fulfilment of
all other requirements of the law, to prove by a properly-
attksted certificate from the authorities of the place they
come from that they are, according to the laws of their
country, competent to contract a marriage abroad, or have,
in
confirmity with those laws, received a license to enter
on the said marriage."
The main object of this law is to protect Prussian wo-
men from the consequences of marrying foreigners, the
legislation of whose respective countries may offer ob-
stacles to their settlement there being recognised in case
of the death or misfortune of the husband. This half of
the case has respect chiefly to Germans, the second almost
exclusively to England. Every summer and autumn for
two years past, there has appeared in the English papers
a number of matrimonial advertisements, all commencing
with "At Duisburg, by the Rev. Mr. Krummacher." On
inquiry, it is ascertained that these couples consisted
always of
widowers marrying the sisters of their de-
ceased wives. It is to prevent the continuation of this
practice that the second half of the law is directed.
The Prussian Government will not connive at British
subjects
the infraction use of its territory and institutions for
infraction of British laws. The town of Duis-
burg owes its distinction as a Rhenish Gretna-
green to the circumstances of its easy approach.
ableness from England ; while it is the only place
in the Rhine provinces where the Code Napoleon
is not still in force, which requires a six month?
domicile previous to the celebration of the ceremony.
The wedding traffic at Duisburg has hitherto been car-
ried on according to a regularly organized plan, in which
innkeepers, &c., there stood in close connexion with a
society in London for the promotion or execution of
4uoh marriages.

A RHENISH GRETNA GREEN.

The Staats Auzeiger of Sunday, the 9th instant, con-
tains the following text of a law passed in the present
session :

" Male foreigners who may in our States desire to con-
tract marriage with a female Prussian subject, or with a

ill continuity with those laws, received a license to enter
on the said marriage."
The main object of this law is to protect Prussian wo-
men from the consequences of marrying foreigners, the

ceased wives. It is to prevent the continuation of this
practice that the second half of the law is directed.
The Prussian Government will not connive at British
subjects making use of its territory and institutions for
the infraction of British laws. The town of Duis-
burg owes its distinction as a Rhenish Gretna-
