NAVAL AND MILITARY INTELLIGENCE.
The Dauntless, 33, screw-frigate, Captain Ryder, is
alongside the jetty at Portsmouth refitting ; she is reported
as peremptorily required to be ready for sea again by Sa-
turday next.
The Curacoa, 31, screw-frigate, Captain the Hon. G. F.
Hastings, is fast progressing in her outfit at Portsmouth;
she had her lower yards across yesterday, and her machi-
nery complete for trial.
The Swallow, 8, screw-sloop, Commander Craufurd, is
all ataunt in No. 7 dock in Portsmouth yard, and is fitting
her running rigging.
The Gladiator, 6, paddle-frigate, Captain Broke, went
into Portsmouth harbour on Monday to repair a few
defects.
The Sphinx, 6, paddle-sloop, Captain A. P. E. Wilmot,
is taking in a large supply of war stores in Portsmouth
harbour for the Black Sea fleet, and will be ready to leave
about Friday or Saturday next.
The hired steam-transport Vifnedo has been laden from
the Royal Clarence-yard, Gosport, with several hundred
tons of provisions for the service of the British army in the
East; and on Monday night she shipped from the same
establishment 300 dozen of port wine of the first quality
for the sick in the same expedition. The Clarence-yard is
worked night and day, bit even this unprecedented press
of labour fails to supply the wants of the service at home
and abroad, and a large quantity of biscuits for the navy
is being baked at a private establishment at Portsmouth
for the Government. Mr. Davies, R.N., Master-Attend-
ant, and Mr. Pinhorn, storekeeper, of the Clarence Vic-
tualling Establishment, together with Captain-Superin-
tendent Courtenay, are indefatigable in their attention
and supervision to get off the daily enormous shipments
from their admirably-worked storehouses.

VARNA.

We are enabled to lay before our readers the " In-
structions" issued to our troops on leaving Varna.
They are dated Sept. 3.

INSTRUCTIONS.
1. The invasion of the Crimea having been determined
upon the troops will embark in such ships as shall be pro-
vided .for their conveyance, which will rendezvous at
Baldjik, and proceed with the combined fleets to their
destination.

2. In an operation of so much difficulty it is essential
that the arrangements made should be attentively con-
sidered and thoroughly understood by the officers who are
responsible for their execution, and should be strictly car-
ried out without any alteration or the exercise of discre-
tion by any subordinate officer. Otherwise confusion
would ensue, and the worst consequences might be appre-
hended.

weeks
been fatal to 10,143 persons.
'Will the epidemic pursue its ravages ? will it observe
its own times, disregard the seasons, and exact its full
tale of victims ? Such were the questions that were
asked-with no little anxiety-by those who watched
over the public health during the last week ; and the
answer, notwithstanding the losses that are recorded,
is on the whole satisfactory.
The deaths from all causes have fallen from 3,413 to
2,836 in the week. The deaths from cholera, instead of
2,050, are 1,549, -or- 501 less than the deaths from the
same cause in the preceding week. The total deaths in
the present eruption have been 7,669 ; in the eruption
of 1849 the deaths by cholera up to the same date,
