Yesterday the annual meeting of the proprietors in
this undertaking, advertised to be held at the offices,
Copthall-court, was adjourned sine die, there not being
sufficient shareholders present to form a quorum. The
report recommended that the scheme—which has for the
last three years been in abeyance —should so remain
for another year.

THE CONDEMNED MURDERESS AT CHESTER.—Since
the departure of Mr. Baron Martin from Chester, who
before he left declined signing the warrant for the
execution of Sarah Featherston convicted at the last
assizes of the murder of her child, no communication
with reference thereto has been received from the
Secretary of State. Soon after her conviction she
admitted her guilt to the chaplain, who has been ex-
ceeding kind and attentive to her, and made a state-
ment to the following effect. She says that about
the time she took away the child from the nurse,
not knowing what to do with it, she turned to her
Bible for consolation. She accidentally opened upon a
chapter in Deuteronomy where it is said—"A bastard
shall not enter into the congregation of the Lord her
uninstructed mind applying the words to her own case,
became more deeply affected. and as she sauntered along
with the child she was compelled occasionally to sit
down and relieve herself by a flood of tears. More sen-

CORN EXCHANGE.
A very moderate supply of English wheat was on sale
in to-clay's market, yet, as the attendance of both town and
country buyers was rather limited, the amount of business
doing in all kinds was confined to immediate wants, at
Monday's currency.
There was rather more firmness in the sale for foreign
wheat, but we have no imprcvement to notice in its value.
The imports have been small. Floating cargoes were
neglected.

Barley met a dull inquiry, at Monday's decline in value.
The malt trade was dull, and the quotations had a
downward tendency.
There was more firmness in the oat trade, at full prices.
Beans, peas, and flour commanded very little attention,
on former terms. The imports of the latter continue small.
London, England, 1854-08-18

SWEDEN AND NORWAY.

A lively discussion is going on in the Swedish
and Norwegian papers on war or peace. The most
influential journals in both countries openly and
distinctly declare that it would be worse than mad-
ness to join the allies and make enormous sacrifices,
unless on the fixed and well-understood condition
that Russia shall be broken up, and Poland restored.
Otherwise, as they very properly remark, even the
transfer of Finland to Sweden would be a delusion
and a snare. It would compel the Scandinavian
countries to live in-an armed peace, which would
exhaust every class, would make the Government
a mere military despotism, and would eventually
ruin the North altogether. But if this condition
is to be complied with, if Russia is reduced to the
dimensions she had in the time of Peter the Great,
then every voice will eagerly be given for the holy
campaign.

OPERATIONS AGAINST BOMARSUND.

The following has been received from Berlin :
" Advices from Copenhagen of the 16th state that
the French took the strongest fort at Bomarsund
on the 15th, after several hours' resistance. The
storming of the remaining forts is fixed for the
16th.

"According to Stockholm advices of the 16th
the Russians have been betrayed by the peasantry
in Aland, and General Baraguay d'Hilliers had
proclaimed the liberation of Aland from the Rus-
sians in all the churches."

We read in a letter, dated Ledsund, August 12,
that the troops landed on Tuesday morning last
(Bth), at 3 o'clock, without opposition, and at tacked
a redoubt of five guns, which defended the road.
The French took it in front and the marines in the
rear, and carried it in a moment without any loss.
They are now encamped behind some high ground
between the villages of Finly and Sundsbole, about
two miles from the main battery, the French Chas-
seurs spreading themselves over the intervening
ground to within 800 yards of the wall. A Russian
officer came out of the door of the fort about a
dozen yards, and was instantly shot by one of
them ; he was seen to raise his hand to his breast
and fall, and some men rushed from the fort and
took him in.

The people from the villages bring plenty of pro.
visions, and are very civil. The French troops
have been slightly attacked by cholera, 11 having
died in four days.

The Penelope got aground within range of the
forts, and was fired upon for three hours and a
half, but was not hurt much. The small ships
went to her assistance, and drew the attention
upon themselves. The Pigmy's mainmast was
shot away. The Hecla had several shot in her,
and one poor little fellow had his chest torn open
by a round shot. They fired red-hot shot.
Lieutenant Cowell, Royal Engineers, has been
badly wounded in the thigh by his revolver going
off accidentally. As yet we have only lost five
men.

A battery opened upon the Amphion and Phle-
aethon, which they silenced almost immediately ;
and when they landed to spike the guns, they
found four of them burst, and a fifth could not be
loaded.

The Penelope had to throw everything over-
board, guns, water, &c., before she could be
floated.

It is believed that 600 men have succeeded in
crossing from the main land, and are now on the
island of Pra.stce, but have not yet got into the
fort. The forts are strong, and it will be a strong
tuz before they give way. No time to say more.
The attack or bombardment will commence to-
morrow or Monday; the English and French guns,
and five' 10-inch mortars, are in position on the
hill.

GOOLE REGATTA.

AUGUST 17.—This annual aquatic festival commenced
yesterday, for two days' sport, and showed symptoms of
being managed by a cramping committee. Last year alb
England wits invited, and some good racing was the
consequence, the Kitten (Mr. Harvey's) being the prin-
cipal Winner ; but some of the local nabobs being d-s-
-pleased at the departure from Goole of the two prizes
obtained by her; amounting to the overpoweringly mag-
nificent sum of 201., it was decided this year to throw the
regatta open only to .the Ouse, Trent, and Humber.
The rail brought down a fair sprinkling of ver-lants from
the Eterior, and the steamers afforded their quota
visitors. The morning was cloudy, with wind at W.
by N. The afternoon turned out rather squally, the
wind varying between N. and W.
The first event came off at 1.35, by six yachts starting
for a prize of 81. 10s.—the course being from Saltmarshe
to Howden, and back to Goole. Going up they passed
Goole—Frolic, Ist ; Pearl, 2d ; Flirt, 3d. Near How-
den the order was varied, and they arrived at the goal
off Goole pier—

Sailing Match for 41.--Sailing boats Flora, Titania,

rietta.

A Rowing Match for 3/. was won by Mr. Pearson's
boat, beating two otheti.
After some delay, caused by the rain, sculling matches
and punt hunts concluded the sport of the day.

THE PRINCIPALITIES.

A letter from Widdin, of the Gth, in the Moni-
teur, nays :—" A French military intendant has
just arrived here from Varna. He has visited Kra-
jowa and the neighbouring towns, and is very well
satisfied with the resources of every kind which
the country offers, notwithstanding the heavy bur-
dens it has had to support. The appearance of
French uniforms on the left bank of the Danube
has produced an indescribable sensation. The in-
tendant and the officers who accompanied him were
the objects of continual ovations."
A letter from Rustchuk, is the Moniteur,
says

The fon• on the subject of the
retreat of , je.nfe
_of the T.Jl4dsll
army. On. a s • .a ne abandoned their pc).-
sition a,t Daya. A first reconnaissance was ordered on the
same day by Omer Pasha, and led to the capture of a Rus-
sian officer and two soldiers. This' reconnaissance was
pushed on as far as Frateschti and Daya. Tke Turks
found houses under ground, which were constructed last
autumn by the Ru:•,sians, and in which 20 battalion&
might be quartered. There were also extensive stables,
and a large supply of hay which the enemy had .left
behind. On the following day, four regiments of
cavalry under the orders of Haiku Pacha pushed on as
far as Komana, a small village on the basks of the
Niajlou. The Russians had already crossed that river,
and afterwards the Argis, a little more to the northward,
in order, probably, to direct their march on Bondeschi
or Frcesniechti, and thus gain the extensive plain of
Bouzeo. After crossing these two rivers, the Russians
burnt the bridges. On the 28th, eleven Russian
cavalry soldiers fell into the hands of the Turks. They.
said that two days before their departure from Daya,
Prince Gortschakoff, in order to revive the drooping
courage of the soldiers, caused to be read in the camp a
manifesto of the Emperor Nicholas, in which the Czar
promised two roubles to each of the soldiers who had
taken part in the war beyond the Danube, and an-
nounced to therm that they were about to recross the
Pruth in order to defend their country, which was
threatened by three powerful enemies, France, England,
and Austria."

AUSTRIA-
The Post-Ampt Gazette of Frankfort has the fol-
io
wing from Vienna, of the 13th :—" In the con-
ferences which are about to take place, Austria
will, above all, insist on the revision of the treaty
of Konschonck-Kainardchi, the free navigation of
the Danube, and the cessation of the Russian pro-
tectorate over the principalities and over the Chris-
tians of the East. The Cabinet will not enter on
any negotiations unless these points have been pre-
cedently conceded."
A letter from Vienna of the 13th, in the Ham-
burg News, says :—" The Conference of the Ain-
bassadors has had a meeting to-day. Already,
some days before, the representatives of the Powers
had declared to Count Buol that they were pro-
vided. with the instructions necessary to draw
up a new protocol. It is asserted that the
first question discussed is that of ascertaining
to what point the evacuation of the princi-
palities, and the retreat of the Russians, can serve
as a starting-point for new negotiations. It is said
that the four powers are not agreed. on that point.
Austria cgree.s with the Western Powers as to the
e
guarantees to be required from Rus,

Pruicsia proposes to modify in favour of
the propositions made, everything seems to inti-
mate that the discussion' will drag on, unless the

COMMANDERS' OUT-PENSIONS OF GREEN-
WICH HOSPITAL.
The following officers have been appointed to receive
the vacant out-pensions of Greenwich Hospital :
Commander William Smith (a) (1826), who served 18
years with great gallantry and distinction during the
war. His grandfather went round the world with Lord
Anson, his father was a captain in the navy, and his
brother, who died a lieutenant, was wounded at
Trafalgar.
Commander James Atkins (a) (1848), who is in the
78th year of his age, and served 17 years successively
during the war, 12 years of which was
uninterrupted ser-
vice in the West Indies. Afloat and ashore he was in
many a gallant affair, in which he received an 18 oz.
shot in his chest.
Commander Joseph Chegwin (1848). This officer
served eleven years during the war. His great gallantry
raised him from before the mast to be a quarter-deck
officer. He was in some sharp cutting out expeditions
and privateer actions, was coxswain in Sir R. Calder's
action, and was promoted to the rank of lieutenant in
1809 for his distinguished service at the bombardment
of Flushing.

list, died on the 13th inst., at his son-in-laiv's 14, Great

num salary, but the Board of 'Admiralty, in considert,
tion of bits faithful, arduous, and zealous services at
Woolwich, in fitting and trying the various steam vessels
in the river, have handsomely promoted him to the rank
of commander. This gallant but neglected officer has at
length met with his just reward.

Mr. W. Andrews, superintendent to the European
Telegraph Company, arrived at Sheerness on the 16th
instant. The wires in the admirars'offices were con-
nected, and meg,,,ages were transmitted to the interme-
diate stations between there and Somerset-house. The

dated December 19, 1853 :—" To Professor Holloway.
Sir,—For twelve years I was afflicted with sores on my
legs and arms, which gradually broke out into ulcerous
wounds, and disabled me from following any of the
active duties of life. I tried a variety of mecicines
and applied several liniments, without benefit ; but a'
friend recommended me to use your ointment and pills,
which completely healed tha wounds and restored me
health, after every other means had failed."—Sold by

SPAIN.

The Madrid Gcrette, of the 10th, contains a
decree ordering that the bill presented to the
Cortes on Stock Exchange operations shall be
carried into effect. Amongst other things, it
authorises time-bargains, which have heretofore
been prohibited.
Colonel San Roman, of the staff of General
Prim, had arrived in Madrid to give the Govern-
ment an account of the General's missou in
Turkey.
Both the editions of the Diario of the 10th were
seized. _ _

A rise had taken place in the prico of bread, and
the Government had taken measures for preventing
a further advance.

A cabinet council was to be held on the evening
of the 11th, under the presidency of the Queen,
and in it the Ministry would probably submit mea-
sures of general interest to her Majesty.
It is not true that the French Government has,
as reported, demanded of the Spanish Government,
in the event of war, to send the Spanish troops to
militarily occupy Rome, in order that the French
Government may employ all its soldiers in the
Eastern war. The Spanish Government has not
received any communication of this kind.

REPRESENTATION OF THE UNIVERSITY.

Mr. BRIG tIT wished to put a question to the noble
lord the member for the city of London, a question with
regard to the noble lord's proposal for allowing the
university to be represented in the horse. The
proposal appeared to him to he something like letting
the last in the race win ; but he wished to know
if the noble lord intended to apply the system to the
:ity of London. He wished also to know whether the
noble lord intended to p,ny prop :sal that in case
the members of the minority died the minority slnuld
be represented by his successor. (A laugh.)
Lord J. RUSSELL said a clause would be inserted
in the new Reform Bill to extend the system to London.
The City returned four members, but the electors would
only be allowed to vote for three out of the four. He
could not answer the second question.

RECRUITING IN IRELAND.

In reply to Colonel KNox,

Lord PALMERSTON said he had received no infor-
mation of the ioterfereoce of the priests with the pro-
gres.4 of recruiting in Ireland, but inquiry should be
made about it.
