THE RUSSIAN PRISONERS.

Intelligence was received yesterday that her Majesty's
steamer Termagant, with 207 Russian prisoners, had passed
Elsinore on the 28th ult. It is presumed that she had the
cholera on board, the yellow flag being at her masthead.
The same day the French steam-frigate Souffleur passed
Elsinore with General Bodisco and a number of Russian
officers, prisoners from Bomarsund.

AU S nuA.

VIENNA, Aug. 27.—The subscription to the Aus-
trian luau closed fur a mouth. It amounts to nearly
five lituilred million of florins.

His Excellency B.tron 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 ac-
complished and much-esteemed public functionary
in Upper Austria will not be otherwise disposed of
during his absence, hopes, being entertained that
his excellency's services in the principalities may
not be of very long duration. The post of gover-
nor of Upper Austria is, therefore, being retained
fur him.

THE BATTLE AT KARS.

Letters from Constantinople of the 21st confirm
the previous :Accounts of the battle at Ktrs. The
action lasted five hours ; the Turks lost 3,000 men,
and the Russians 1,600.

tion of the allied trooi s.

THE SANITARY CONDITION OF THE
ALLIED ARMY.

Our letters of the 20th inst7-siate the sanitary
condition of the allied army was rapidly improv-
ing ; the disease was everywhere on the decline, and
the moment was fast approaching when the Gene-
rals could attempt important operations without
compromising the health of the troops. The
preparations for the expedition were proceeding
with extraordinary activity, both at Constanti-
nople and at Varna. The Bosphorus was crowded
with steamers destined to carry troops, muni-
tions, and materiel of siege. The last corps of
the English army, which remained at Buyukdere,
had left for Varna. The real object of the expe-
dition was still a profound mystery. Public opi-
nion in the Turkish capital was still impressed with
a belief that an attack against Sebastopol and a
landing in the Crimea were contemplated. One of
our letters, however, observes that the events
which caused the departure of the army to be post-
poned would probably render so great a military
operation difficult before the setting in of the bad
season. Many persons at Constantinople consi-
dered it more prudent for the Allies to take a strong
position on the Circassian coast opposite the
Crimea, so as to watch and prevent all movement
of the Russian fleet at Sebastopol and of the Rus-
sian army in Asia, at the same time that a strong
division should remain at Baltchik, to keep Odessa
in check and command the Black Sea, by combin-
ing its operations with the naval division in Cir-
cassia. The writer adds that the prolongation
alone of the blockade of Odessa, S Thastopol, and of
the other Russian ports of the Black Sea had in-
flicted greater injury on Russia than the loss of a
battle.

THE BRITISH EXPEDITION.

VARNA, Aug. 19.—The Duke's division has
marched in from Aladyn, and is now encamped to-
wards the south-western side of the bay. It ap-
pears that notwithstanding. the exquisite beauty of
the country around Aladyn' it is a hot-bed of
fever and dysentery. Tlie same is true of Devna,
which is called by the Turks " the Valley of
Death ;" and had we consulted the natives ere we
pitched our camps, we assuredly would never have
gone either to Aladyn or Devna, notwithstanding
the charms of their position, and the temptations
offered by the abundant supply of water and by the
adjacent woods. So completely exhausted on last
Thursday was the Brigade of Guards, these
3,000 of the flower of England, that they had
to make two marches in order to get over the
distance from Aladyn to Varna, which is
not more than (not so much, many people say
as) ten miles. But that is not ail. Their
packs were carried for them. Just think of this,
good people of England, who are sitting anxiously
in your homes, day after day, expecting every
morning to gladden your eyes with the sight of the
announcement, in large type, of " rail of Sebas-
topol," your Guards, your corps d'elite, the
pride of your hearts, the delight of your eyes,
these Anakim whose stature, strength, and massive
bulk you exhibit to kingly visitors, as no
inapt symbols of your nation, have been so re-
duced by disease, and a depressing climate, that it
was judged inexpedient to allow them to carry their
own packs, or to permit them to march more than
five miles a day, even though these packs were
carried for them ! Think of this, and then judge
whether these men are fit in their present state to
go to Sebastopol, or to attempt any great operation
of war. The Highland brigade are, in better con-
dition, but oven the three noble regiments which
compose it are far from being in good health or in
the spirits in which they set out for Varna. The
Duke's division has lost 160 men, of these nearly
100 belonged to the Guards. In the Brigade of
Guards there were before the march to Varna up-
wards of 600 men sick. The Light Division has
lost 110 or 112 men. Sir D. Evans has lost 100
men or thereabouts.

CIVIL GOVERNMENT OF THE ALAND

ever, that a fact of this kind should not have been
mentioned in any of the telegraphic communica-

RUSSIA.
THE RUSSIAN VICTORY AT KARS.

The Journal de St. Petcrsbourg of the 23d
August publishes the report of Prince Bebutoff,
relative to the battle of August 5, near Kars.
While mentioning the victory gained by the troops
under his orders, the Russian General renders
homage to the valour of the Turks, " who dis-
played," he says, " a power of resistance which our
oldest soldiers had never experienced from them."
" After having received this report," says the
Invalids Itusse, " the Emperor testified his great
satisfaction at so brilliant and useful a victory, and
conferred the order of St. Andrew on Prince
Bebutoff."

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 screw gun•vessels building for her Ma-
jesty's Government will be launched from Pitcher's yard,
Northfleet, 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 com-
ments advanced in the articles contained thereon in your
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 be so constructed as to be
able to carry troops, together with the necessary ammuni-
tion, stores, and provisions. I cannot but think is totally
at variance 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 work-
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 lully expected of them.

RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE.

SOUTH-EASTERN.
T. directors of tbie company will recommend to the
proprietors, at the ensuing haltyearly meeting, to declare
• dividend of Bs. 6d. per 30t. per share.

ANDNEGATE, NOTTINGHAM, AND BOSTON.
The half-yearly meeting of this compaay was held yes-
terday at Grantham ; Mr. Wyles occupied the chair.
Mr. Gough, the secretary, read the report.
The CLUBMAN said, that during the last session of
Parliament the company had applied for and obtained
three different bills, all of which had been previously
sanctioned by meetings of the proprietors, and were
fully described in the report. The directors believed that
is obtaining these acts, and thus forming a main
line to Nottingham, they would serve the inte-
rests of the public better than by continuing their
arrangement with the Midland Company. The in-
grease of 5,0001. upon the receipts of the last half-
year had been accompanied by a small additional charge
for working expenses, but those exoenses had been kept
down as much as possible. Be then moved the adop-
tion of the resort.
Mr. BEABELEY seconded the resolution, which was
carried unanimously.
Mr. SMYTHE moved that P. dividend of 2i! per cent. per
annum be paid on the capital of the company, the same
to be payable on the 18th of September next.
Mr. GEE, of Nottingham, seconded the resolution,
which was carried nem. can.

agreed to,
The meeting was made special, when resolutions were
passed confirming the forfeiture of the shares and ap-
proving the issue by the board on behalf of the company

of mortgages or debentures for the sum of 86 250/t°

for the sum of 87,5001. to the proprietors of the Not-
ts tingham Canal, comformably to the agreements entered
into with the company for that
purpose.
Thanks to the chairman concluded the proceedings.

PRUSSIA.

We extract the following from the Wanderer :
" if Prussia should at this critical moment refuse
to form one of the bulwarks against Russia, the
Russian and Prussian Biltic provinces may at no
distant period form one of those States to be erected
as a wall of defence against Russia.!'
It has been seen that the granite walls of Russia
form an inadequate defence. The first fell of Bo-
marsund, and since the 16th it has been felt that
the fate of those of Croustadt and Sebastopol are
&pendent only on time, and the courage and per-
severance of the allies.

The Lloyd directs its attention almost exclusively
to Prussia, ad►ninistering, however, from time to
time, a slight fillip to the other German Powers.

GREECE.
THE PORTE AND KING OTHO.

We have accounts from Athens to 26th. The
Ottoman Government refuses to prolong the delay
which' it had granted for the free navigation of
Greek vessels in the Turkish waters, unless the
Greek Government will reco4nise in principle that
Greece o.ses a,) indemnity to Turkey for the recent
events. The Greek Ministers refuse all indemnity,
and 5..,y that on Vie contrary they think they have
a right to demand one of a hundred millions of
drach mnas.

A letter from Athens states that the Baron Forth-
Rouen, the French Minister in that city, has pre-
sented from the Emperor I,ooof. to the mother of
the priest Marino, who died of the cholera whilst
administering relief awl consolation to the French
soldiers afflicted with that malady in the military
hospital.' A corporal who acted ai one of the hos-
pital a,ttewlants has received the decorat,on of the
Legion of Honour for fie zealous and humane at-
t,,ntiun that he had paid to the patients.
BELGIUM.

THE RESIGNATION OF THE MINISTERS.
The Lavendance of Brussels expresie,i itfielf in
the following terms, relative to the resignation of
the Brouckere Cabinet

"The following are tho rumours whioh are in eircOa-
tion. The discus•aons called forth by the conventions to
be concluded between tli communal authorities and the
bishops for the orgatiisailon of religious education by the
ckrgy in the establishments of intermediate instruction;
the opposition, openly manifested, which the convection
of Antwerp meets with in a part of the liberal party;
and, above all, the new preteTrsions which the clerical
party puts forth have produced, it is said, a certain im
pression on the Ministry, which had flattered itself to
have found at last the means of cone hating the rights of
the civil power with the exigencies of the religious au-
thority. The Ministry, it is also said, saw that animated
discu.sions were to be anticipated on the question of
charity, in which, as in that of instruction, the preten-
sions of the Right go exceedingly far, and in which also
the Liberal party is not unanimous on every puiut." '

THE ROYAL ALBERT.

The Royal Albert screw steam-ship has so far com-
pleted her rigging to black down. Mr. William R. Madge,
the master, during the rigging of this noble ship, has
had the entire superintendence and directions in his espe-
cial department as master; the want of A.B.'s for this
work has made his duties most arduous in constantly
watching and directing the work as it has progressed.
Her lower fore-yard was crossed yesterday. Her main-
yard will not be put on board until she can be got into the
fitting basin. Mr. Bonney's gutta percha speaking tubes
aro fitted, and full communication from the poop, on either
side, to the engine-room can now take place, and is at pre-
sent a source of great attraction to visitors. The noble
engines of this ship, now complete, having been ready for
working those ten days past, reflect the highest credit on
all parties connected therewith. They have been set up
under the personal daily superintendence of her chief en-
gineer, and latterly assisted by the assistant-engineers. If
the defect in the stonework at the caisson entrance cannot
be made ready by the next spring tides she will be put out
of dry dock and moored alongside the Minotaur, until she
can be taken into the basin for the greater convenience of
receiving her armament and sea stores on board. This
ship, when manned, will, there is not the slightest doubt,
be ordered to the Mediterranean, as flag-ship there.

THE EFFECTS OF THE SHOT AT BOMARSUND.
We have received a letter from a gallant officer serving
in the Billie, from which we give the following extract,
showing the effects produced on the forts of Bomarsund by
the first bombardment :
"Many of the prisoners declare that if the Hecla, Valo-
rous, and Odin had continued the action another hour
longer, when we made our first attack on Bomarsund, they
must have left the forts in consequence of the heat; and,
strange to say, one of our shells penetrated through the
principal powder magazine door and did not explode. The
damage done at the first bombardment has been repaired;
but a black round mark is painted where every shot and
shell struck. It is gratifying to see so ninny of these
marks."
London, England, 1854-09-01

ST. ANDREW'S AND QUEBEC.

The half-yearly meeting of the A shareholders in this
undertaking was held yesterday at the offices, Parlia-
ment-street, Mr. F. Edwards in the chair.
Mr. J. W. BYRN, the secretary, read the report, which
stated that the direetors had been informed that in June
last an engine was running over 17 miles of the line.
With regard to the engineering operations of the line,
the surveys had been carefully completed over the whole
distance to Wood3tock, and a favourable line bad been
obtained. It was hoped that the first 30 miles of the
line would be opened fur traffic in a few months, when
a considerable business in the carriage of timber would
immediately commence. The directors, acting under
authority given them, had. raised 7,5001: in anticipation
of calls, in order to sustain the contractors. The direc-
tors had been anxiously engaged for some time past in
negotiations for the increase of capital required to com-
plete the works and to provide the roiling stock, and
this subject would•occupy their best attention during
the next session of the c,ilonial legislature.
The statement of accounts showed a balance in hand
of 2,338/.
The CHAIRMAN briefly moved that the report and
statement ot accounts be adopted.
Mr. W. S. FEATHERSTONE seconded themotion, which
was agreed to. ••
After some other formal business, the meeting

MARKET

The shew of new English wheat in to-day's market was
moderate—of oil very limited. As the attendance of
buyers was small, the business doing in all kinds was
limited, at about Monday's prices. Most of the now
wheats were in cxcelloot condition.
We were well supp►ied with foreign wheat. Sales pro-
gressed slowly, but we have no actual change to notice
in the quotations.
Very little English barley on offer. The show of foreign
was tolerably good. The trade NN as heavy, at barely
iste rates.
The inquiry for malt was very dull, at our quotations.
As the supply of oats from abroad was considerably on
the increase, the oat trade was dull, at a further decline in
pica of from 6.1 to is per qr.
Beans and peas as last advised. Flour was dull, at the
fall noticed on Monday.

SMITUFIELD.

To-day's market was fairly supplied with beasts as to
number, but their general quality was very inferior. The
primest breeds realised full prices. Otherwise the trade
ruled heavy, at barely late rates. We had a fair demand
for bheep, th,, supply of which was moderate, at Monday's
euri eucy. The I Itob trade was firm, at very full quota-
tions. Calves sold heavily, and iu most instances prices
g ve way 2d per 81h. The supply was but moderate. In
pigs scarcely any business was transacted.
Milch cows were dull, at from 14/. to 19/. lOs each, in-
cluding their small calf.

SPAIN.

Accounts from Madrid, of the 26th, represent the
actual deficiency in the Treasury to be 250,000,000
of r als vellon.

Narvaez has obtained his passports, and has sub-
scribed 1,000 reals towards the proposed statue of
General San Miguel.

Yesterday afternoon a meeting was held of the
commandants of the National Guard of Madrid.
Amongst them were Brigadier Venancio Gurrea,
private secretary to Espartero, who has been
elected to the command of a battalion of foot
artillery ; Biiga tier Valdez, formerly aide-de-
camp to Espartero, and now employed in the
War-office ; and several other persons of mark,
known to be fziends of the present Government.
Nevertheless, in the discussion that was held
the Government's acts were severely scanned,
not in a spirit of opposition, but with the desire to
see it take such measures as'would keep off danger
and maintain it in power.
Tile accounts from the provinces are satisfactory.
Tlere had been some slight disturbances at Utreria
and other places in Andalusia ; they had not a
political character, but related to the division of
sonic common lands. The cholera continues to
make serious ravages, notably in Seville and
Cadiz.

THE BLACK SEA FLEET.

BALTCHIK BAY, Aug. 19.—The cholera, which
has long been hovering about, has at length visited
the fleets in earnest. It attacked the French first,
and they suffered so severely in some of the large
ships-that they put to sea in hopes of benefitting
by a change of air. A few days after this terrible
sickness fell on us. A few unmistakeable cases
occurred in several of the ships, and we put to sea
also. On Saturday, the 12th, our squadron sailed,
consisting of the Britannia (Admiral Duudas),
Albion, Trafalgar, Vengeance, Queen, Rodney,
London, Retribution, Furious, Tribune, and Dia-
mond. Fur two days we got on pretty well, the
Trafalgar only having suffered ; but on Monday
night (14th) the disease broke out in all its awful
fury in several ships simultaneously. In 20 hours
5,) men died the in Britannia, and 30 in the next 20
hours. Those who have only witnessed the effects
of this fatal pest on land can hardly imagine the
additional horror which accompanies its progress
at sea. Let, them imagine 1,000 men narrowly
caged in a floating box ; a heavy sea obli_te..s them
to close all the ports, so that, notwithstanding all
the appliances of air-sails, &c., the air at night bv-
comes tainted below. A boat's crew go on shore to
put a few stories together as a sort of landing-place
on the sand ; they move a stone, and underneath
is
a accumulatiag the det Ws of scenes like these, which
must
ever festering corps
be
the
eagain. But there is no use in
terrible attendants on war and
pestilence.
On the 15th, the English men-of-war at the
Golden Horn and at Varna, dressed in colours,
hoisted the tricolour to the main, and tired a R,)yal
salute in honour of the anniversary of the Em-
peror Napoleon's birthday. The Turkish Heat and
forts also fired a Royal salute, and the French
men-of-war observed the day
with every external
demonstration of enthusiasm.

UNIVERSITY INTELLIGENCE.

OXFORD, AUG. 31.

UNIVERSITY COMMISSION.
The University Commission appointed under the new
University Reform Bill met, yesterday, in Spring-
gardens, London, when the Earl of Ellesmere was ap-
pointed chairman.
UNIVERSITY RATING BILL.
The guardians elected under the new Poor-law and
College Rating Bill met at the workhouse this evening,
when the rector of Exeter College and several bursars
attended, as well as the mayor, aldermen, and parochial
guardians. On the nomination of the Mayor, R. J.
Spiers, Esq., seconded by Mr. Alderman Butler, the late
governor, Mr. J. R. Carr was elected chairman of the
new board without opposition. Mr. Cartwright, cabinet-
maker, and Mr. 13odding-ton, bookseller, were elected
vice-chairmen without opposition.

LIEUT. JEROME NAPOLEON BoNapAnTn.--The Ame-
rican tapers state that Jerome Napoleon li...riaparte has
forwarded to the Secretary of War from Paris the resig-
nation of his cornmis:,4ion in the army of the -United
States, as on account of the cordial reception he has met
with from the French Emperor he probably deems his
prospects of advancement hotter in France than in
America,
London, England, 1854-09-01

PRUSSIA.

We extract the following from the Wanderer :
" If Prussia should at this critical moment refuse
to form one of the bulwarks against Russia, the
Russian and Prussian Baltic provinces may at no
distant period form one of those States to be erected
as a wall of defence against Russia."

It has been seen that the granite walls of Russia
form an inadequate defence. The first fell . Bo-
marsund, and since the 16th it has been felt that
the fate of those of Cronstadt and Sebastopol are
dependent only on time, and the courage and per-
severance of the allies.

The Lloyd directs its attention almost exclusively
to Prussia, achninistering, however, from time to
time, a slight fillip to the other German Powers.

GREECE.

THE PORTE AND KING OTHO.

We have accounts from Athens to 26th. The
Ottoman Government refuses to prolong the delay
which it had granted for the free navigation of
Greek vessels in the rarkish waters, unless the
Greek Government will recognise in principle that
Greece owes an indemnity to Turkey for the recent
events. The Greek Ministers refuse all indemnity,
and say that on the contrary they think they have
a right to demand one of a hundred millions of
drachmas.
A letter from Athens states that the Baron Forth-
Rouen, the French Minister in that city, has pre-
sented from the Emperor I,ooof. to the mother of
the priest Marino, who died of the cholera whilst
administering relief and consolation to the French
soldiers afflicted with that malady in the military
hospital. A corporal who acted as one of the hos-
pital attendants has received the decoration of the
Legion of Honour for the zealous and humane at-
tention that he had paid to the patients.
BELGIUM.

THE RESIGNATION OF THE MINISTERS.

The Independance of Brussels expresses itself in
the following terms, relative to Cie resignation of
the Brouakere Cabinet :

" The following are the rumours which are in circula-
tion. The discussions o-dled forth by the conventions to
be concluded between the communal authorities and the
bishops for the organisatio❑ of religious education by the
clergy in the establishments of intermediate instruction ;
the opposition, openly manifested, which the convention
of Antwerp meets with in a part of the liberal party ;
and, above all, the new pretensions which the clerical
party puts forth have produced, it is said, a certain inn.
pression on the Ministry, which had flattered itself to
have found at last the means of conclating the rights of
the civil power with the exigencies of the religious au-
thority. The Ministry, it is also said, saw that animated
discussions were to be anticipated on the question of
charity, in which, as in that of instruction, the preten-
sions of the Right go exceedingly far, and in whioh also
the Liberal party is not unanimous on every point."

THE PRINCIPALITIES.

A letter from Bucharest, 19th, in the Moniteur,
says :—" Ibraham Pacha sent four regiments of
cavalry on a reconnaissance as far as Bouzeo. On
arriving on the
17th near that place, the Tut ks
were informed that a detachment of Cossacks still
remained there. Fifty men were immediately (le-
t tche(l, who attacked them in the town itself. The
Russians lost six men killed and two taken prisoners;
the Turks had one killed and two wounded. The
Turks remained masters of the place. Omer Pacha
has applied to the Wallachian administration,
demanding
93,000 rations of bread a-day to be
divided between Bucharest, Obilechti, and Oursit-
&Lai. A second bridge
of boats is being con-
structed on the Danube at Turtukai. A division
of the English army is shortly expected at
Obilechti."
A Jassy correspondent of the Ost Deutsche Post,
who speaks of the " despondency" of the Russians,
tells a singular story of Baron von Budborg, the
representative of his Majesty of All the Russias.
The Civil and Military Governor having remarked
that one of the passers by in the Ulica-mara (High-
street) did not bow respectfully to him, beckoned
to the irreverent Moldavian to come to the door of
his carriage. The man obeyed, and the polished
Russian, catching him by the beard, lugged and
tugged him about in order to improve his manners.
Another Jassy writer remarks that from the recent
movements of the Russians it is evident that they
have more than once received contradictory orders.
At last the Servians have left off drilling and exer-
cising, and the warlike ferment in the Principality
appears to be subsiding.
