stantinople, on the Asiatic side of the Bosphorus,
has been fixed upon as the head-quarters of the
English expeditionary army. A large body of the
troops have already arrived, but nevertheless it
has been determined that a considerable number
shall remain at Gallipoli. The regiments which
have been left at Gallipoli are the 28th and the 50th
regiments of the line, the 60th Rifles, the 93d High-
landers, and two companies of Engineers. These
troops will remain in the straits of the Dar-
danelles, along with the bulk of the French army.
After having visited the camps at Gallipoli and
Boulahir, I was anxious to see the first establish-
ment of the English troops on the Asiatic coast. I
must acknowledge that the sight has taken me with
surprise and admiration. No power in Europe pos-
sesses an establishment of this kind in so vast a
scale, or, I will venture to say, better calculated
for the preservation of the health and comfort of
the troops. These immense barracks were built by
an Italian architect, about seven years ago. They
form a nearly regular triangle ; and at the four
angles there are very lofty towers, built in the
Oriental style, which give the whole structure an
imposing appearance. The rooms are of moderate
Size, and each will accommodate from sixty to
eighty men. They are well aired, and all commu-
nicate with corridors which are nearly twenty feet
wide. The communications with the outer world
are by large and commodious staircases, which like
the rest of the building, are always kept neat and
clean. Near each room there are small stovesmade
of iron, for the purpose of enabling the English sol-
' Biers to prepare their coffee and tea. The great
kitchens are in the interior of the court. They
• have recently been cased with marble and granite
slabs, which give them the appearance of the kitchens
of some powerful monarch rather than those
intended for the supply of troops. I will venture
to say that the most aristocratic club in London
cannot show anything half so magnificent. While
I was visiting this establishment the 88th regiment
'of the line arrived, and took possession of the prin-
cipal floor of one of the pavilions. The place sup-
plies the regiment with ample accommodation, of
the best kind, and without the slightest crowding.
This enormous barrack can easily contain 12,000
European troops. At the present moment it is
occupied by the 33d, 44th, 47th, 49th, and
77th regiments of English infantry of the line,
and by a battalion of Turkish infantry.
No one here can know the •plans which the allied
generals will lay down for their approaching cam-
paign, and it is probable that none will be defini-
tively settled till the arrival of Lord Raglan ; but
the opinion among the Turks is, that it would be
easier for them to supply a European army of
100,000 men with provisions, if that army were
established under the protection of the guns of
Varna, or in the entrenched camps of Dewna,
Prawadi, and Shumla, than to furnish provisions
for an army of not more than half that strength,
Manoeuvring on Adrianople and the eastern side of
the Balkans. It is known that ono of the great
Objects the Russians had in taking possession o the
bobrudscha was to enable them to procure pro-
visions, and by occupying the different branches
of the Danube, to supply their armies, notwith-
standing the presence of our fleets. A few days
ago they succeeded in getting a great number of
transports, laden with all sorts of provisions and
ammunition, conveyed from Odessa and into the
Danube by the Kilia and Sulina mouths. This was
done without our fleets knowing anything about
the matter. The transports were towed by steam-
ers, and the passage from Odessa to the mouths of
the Danube was accomplished in one night. This
prosess can be repeated, and no doubt will be-
The fleets are at present somewhere in the neigh-
bourhood of Odessa, and we are here looking out
With the utmost interest for the result of their visit
to that important place. The belief is that the
place will be bombarded, and the shipping de-
stroyed ; and certainly this is what ought to be
done ; for although the wanton destruction of pro-
perty without any object but that of injuring the
enemy is not to be approved of, this is not the case
at Odessa. It is from Odessa that the Russian
troops will obtain their surest supplies, and the
only way of cutting them off effectually is by de-
stroying the magazines, as well as the shipping,
great and small. Lord Raglan, the commander-in-
chief of the English army is expected to arrive here
this day. The French commander-in-chief, Marshal
de St. Arnaud will arrive, it is said, before the end
of the month. The Duke of Cambridge and Prince
Napoleon are also expected without delay. The
Sultan has ordered superb residences to be prepared
for the Duke of Cambridge and Prince Napoleon.
General Bosquet, who has gone to Shumla and
Varna, has not yet returned. General D'Allonville,
the commander of the cavalry of the French
auxiliary army, left here to-day for Gallipoli. He
had the honour of being received by the Sultan
and tho Ministers, who gave him assurances that
the French army would find a considerable number
0f horses at Smyrna and on the coast of Asia, fit
for the French cavalry. It is thought that as soon
as the generals in chief of the allied armies shall
have arrived, active operations will commense on
an extensive scale, with, it is hoped, the important
results looked forward to with so much impatience
both in England and France.

The Neweornes. Nos. VL, VII., and VIII. By
W. M. Thackeray.
Nearly half Mr. Thackeray's new serial has now
been published. It has continued throughout, up
to the last page issued from the press, inclusively,
more than simply readable—fraught in a great
measure with an attractive power little less than
what might be actually termed, without extrava-
gance, a sort of fascination. The secret of this is
easily discoverable. It arises, in the first place,
out of the charm of the writer's style—a style so
easy, so voluble, so tender in its evidences of sen-
sibility, and yet so masculine in its vigour of ex-
pression, and in the abounding ease of its command
of language. Apart from the alluring manner of
the novelist, at least as much apart from it as that
is possible under the circumstances—seeing that
the character grows up into life out of that
mannerism, as the flower and fruit grow out
of the juices throbbing in the stalk and in
the leaves there is the creation of the
story, the best, the truest, the noblest, the man-
liest, the most loveable, and in every respect
ie most thoroughly admirable among all the ficti-
Lous beings called into existence by the magic pen
if Thackeray. It is quite unnecessary to add who
this is, to any one who has read the new monthly
book—in the familiar yellow covers first rendered
objects of interest by the wit and wisdom of "Vanity
Fair"—the narrative told under the editorship of
Mr. Arthur Pendennis of the Pall Mall Gazette.
To those who have not read the eight numbers
which have already appeared, it would be idle
simply to mention the name of Colonel Newcome—
Colonel Thomas Newcome. Without reading the
work themselves, they could never guess the charm
that has come to be associated with the mere name
of this imaginary character. Colonel Newcome
does honour to Mr. Thackeray's heart as well as to
his imagination. A nature more noble or more
gentle, more manly or more childlike, we do not
remember to have seen anywhere delineated in the
whole range of literature. It is a companion picture
to Sir Roger de Coverley. Without Colonel New-
come, we don't know what the new story from the
hand of Mr. Thackeray would have done for attrac-
tions sufficient to secure its extended reputation—
even with all the charms of that style which, as we
have here intimated, seldom fails to command our
admiration. For with the exception of glorious
old Fred Bayham, there scarcely remains one charac-
ter introduced in the tale at all tolerable. Sir Brian
is an empty-headed, cold-blooded banker-baronet.
Hobson and his wife are vulgar beyond endurance.
Barnes is a prig. Clive—for all his handsome face,
we are compelled to say it, is somewhat of that horrid
genus, though for venturing to avow this we should
expect to be cut by Mr. Pendennis, if we enjoyed
the honour of his acquaintance. Ethel, too, has
grown to be a kind of beautiful-boguy in polite
society, if we may judge from the last account
given by our author of her affrighting supercilious-
ness. What can be more detestable or more con-
temptible than the silhouette snipped by these re-
morseless scissors, the miserably life-like pen and
ink sketch of the Rev. Charles Honeyman ? What
except the revoltingly truthful portrait of little
Rosy' s m other, that smilin g mass ofdeceit and affecta-
tion? As for the story itself—it isone almost entirely
without incidents. Unless one can dignify with
the title of incidents rides in the Park, and visits
to Brighton, and dinners, and luncheons, and
evening parties. But no—besides these there is
one other incident recorded in the number before
us, the incident, in fact, which closes the instal-
ment last published. Colonel Newcome takes his
departure from England to return to Hindostan.
With that departure still vividly in our minds,
like a home-grief, we throw the number aside
with real regret and disappointment.

The race for the Two Thousand was uninteresting and
unimportant. The curiosity, however, which the appear-
ance and performance of Ruby excited redeemed it, per-
haps, from utter insignificance. The mystery which at-
tached to this horse has been now dispelled, and it is pro-
bable that the good easy public, or even his fondest partisans,
will never " stand" him again. Ruby is not a gem of the
first water, but a worthless counterfeit and a sham. He
seems to be an unmitigated impostor, and has his parallel
only in the Lightfoots and Lapidists of the turf. He is
an " old boy" with many infirmities, touched in the wind,
and, it is said, slightly shaky in the legs. Like the York-
shireman's filly Aurora, he's a roarer too.
His mouth was examined in due course this morning,
and a properly-attested certificate of his age was posted in
'the subscription-room. No sooner was it put up, however,
than some mad wag converted the " 3 years only" into " 13
years only," and this merry jest excited much amusement
and badinage. Other incidents sustained curiousity re-
specting Ruby. The " call" that was made upon a certain
trainer, who had betted seven " monkeys" against him to
stake, was unanswered. After much discussion and con-
sultation, the taker of the odds expressed a determination
to "hold the bet ;" but whether he changed this resolution
before the race, I am not in a position to state.
The race resulted in the signal defeat of the favourites,
the first and second horses belonging to the outside divi-
sion. No third horse was placed. Champagne and Boi-
ardo finished close together behind Middlesex, the former
being slightly in advance. Hermit, the winner, is a nice-
looking horse, but somewhat " peacocky" in appearance.
He was admirably ridden by Alfred Day. I wish I could
apply this remark to Champagne and his rider. Boiardo
ran a thoroughly game horse, but his defeat somewhat dis-
couraged Dervish's Derby backers. Ruby cantered in last
but one!
The success of Hermit was fortunate for tho "fielders." Mr.
Davis was not, however, a winner of more than a few pounds,
although he stood sixteen hundred against Boiardo. I
heard him declare, indeed, that the balance in his favour
would be scarcely a " poney," but he would have won all
his money had Middlesex pulled through. The prophets
were out in their calculations, and they who " followed
them" doubtless found the profits all loss.
Some uncertainty still exists as to the starting of Virago
for the One Thousand on Thursday. Should she run she
will meet a formidable antagonist in the representative of
John Scott's stable, for which Sortie will perhaps do
battle.
For the 100 Soya. Sweepstakes, D. M., I shall " stand"
Champagne.
The meeting of Middlesex, Champagne, and Boiardo
will impart peculiar interest to the race for the Newmar-
ket Stakes. Taking their running to-day as a criterion
as to their ability, I shall expect them to pass the winning
chair in the order in which I have set A down their names.

A War Song. By Dr. Ptolemy Paul. Gay and

6i bid
74 7t 1

United Mexican
Waller
West Granada

Company.
A tinted title-page, showing The Betsy Jane
" finishing off" The Menschikoff—[the former a
British ship of 40 guns, and the latter a Russian
74 gun man-of-war : both vessels, it is scarcely
necessary to observe, purely fanciful built,
so to speak, in the dockyard of the writer's fancy,
and afterwards launched from the artist's ima-
gination]—is not by any means the only attrac-
tive peculiarity of this curious and certainly very
original publication. It is a war song appropriate
to the time, the words written by Mr. Sydney
Yendys, and the music composed by Dr. Ptolemy
Paul. As to the young poet himself, his first
dramatic work, " The Romau"—a work abounding
with power and replete with promise, a power we
were amongst the first to recognise, and a pro-
mise which we then expressed ourselves sanguine
would be ultimately fulfilled—constitutes, we con-
ceive,
his beg and happiest introduction to the
notice of the community. As to the musician, he
comes before the public under the auspices of
the writer, whose verses have here supplied him
with inspiration. Together they have chaunted
the triumph of an imaginary English frigate over a
Russian seventy-four—a warlike day-dream, which,
before many weeks have elapsed, may, in more than
one instance, both in the Baltic and in the Euxine,
very probably be realised. The song appears most
appropriately—at the precise period when we are all
of us listening eagerly for the first reverberations
of those maritime victories which aro now confi-
dently anticipated. Its accompaniment closes
rather grandly, certainly most effectively, with the
distant sound, floating across the waters, of the
national melody of " Rule Britannia."

CORN EXCHANGE.

The show of English wheat in to-day's market was very
limited ; yet the demand for all kinds was in a depressed
state, at barely Monday's prices.
Upwards of 31,000 quarters of foreign wheat having come
fresh to hand, that grain ruled exceedingly dull, and large
parcels were easier to purchase.
Floating cargoes were much neglected.
The barley trade was heavy, on former terms. The ♦alue
of malt was almost nominal.
We were well supplied with oats, in which a good busi-
ness was doing, at full quotations.
Beans were quite as dear as on Monday ; but peas and
flour met a dull inquiry.

RATIFICATION OF THE AUSTRO-PRUS•

SIAN TREATY.
According to a telegraphic despatch, the ratifi-
%tons of the Austrian-Prussian treaty were
tl°llanaed at Berlin yesterday (Tuesday). It will
fully communicated to the Western Powers.
General Hess goes on a special mission to Frank-
fort, •to negotiate the adhesion the Germanic
eonfederaV

_iederation.
SWEDEN AND NORWAY.
The Norway papers state that subscription lists
e circulating at Norrland. and Westbotten, in
weden for the formation of a volunteer corps to
defend the frontier against Russia, in case of war.
Other accounts from private sources state that
Sweden and Norway are making warlike prepara-
tions. Sixty waggons of ammunition for artillery
and infantry have been sent to Gothland, through
Karlskrona from Christiansand. The Diet, it
is true, has presented an address of thanks,
;5_4 account of the declaration of neutrality,
but the old Swedish warlike spirit peeps here
and there forth, and the people make no
secret of their feelings on the subject. They
Want Finland back, and not to have their trade in-
terfered with, as it may chance to suit the caprice
of Russia. The Czar is not blind to the danger
that threatens him from Scandinavia, and is send-
ing Russian and Polish masses of troops to Finland,
While at the same time he has withdrawn the militia
of the country and its riflemen into the heart of
Russia. The Russian troops now in Finland are
estimated at 50,000 men. The quarantine laws
are suspended at the different ports likely to be
touched at by the fleets. The harbour dues levied
on foreign ships are also abolished, in so far as
blert of war are concerned.
