A. letter from Athens,. of the 12th, says :
" General, .Mayran, commander of the French
troops, resolved before leaving for the Black Sea
to show Athens to all his soldiers, and at the same
time show all his soldiers at Athens. On Monday
last the entire brigade, with its artillery, baggage,
tools, and camp effects, together with the english
regiment, made a march, with bands playing and
flags flying, through the town, passing before
the palace of the King. All the population assem-
bled in the streets, or in the windows of the houses,
and greeted the troops with every mark of sym-
pathy. The principal inhabitants of the Pirvaus
have resolved to give a banquet and Mte to the
general and his officers, and also to those of the
fleet, before their departure."

REMARKS BY THI COMMANDIR OF THE FORCES.

" The Commander of the Forces has confirmed the
finding of the general court-martial on Assistant-
Surgeon S. Moore, 6th Dragoon Guards, but be has felt
himself compelled to with;,old his approval of it, the
evidence given in support of the charge having fully
established to his satisfaction that the prisoner had
received an order .from the head of the medical depart-
ment which h. had failed to obey. Upon an occasion on
which many wounded mon had been placed on boardand
required the utmost care and attention, the medical
officer selected to accompany them wa■ found to be
absent. This arose from Assistant-Surgeon Moore not
having reported himself to Dr. Hall on the 22d, as spe-
cially ordered ; and thus an important service was
neglected, and the vessel was prevented sailing at the
time appointed.
" Obedience to orders is the first duty of an officer
under all circumstances ; but it is more particularly
that of a medical dicer after an action—when the com-
fort and even the lives of the wounded, in a great degree
depend upon his close attendance, his ability, and his
humane exertions to assuage their sufferings.
" Assistant Surgeon Moore is released from arrest,
and will return to his duty."

[Anvianstmerrl—Supplement, gratis, with the
Weekly Dispatch of Sunday, October 29th. The Weekly
Dispatch of Sunday, the 29th of October, will be accom-
panied by a Supplement, containing the most ample
particulars of the Bombardment of Sebastopol and every
event of interest connected with the operations of the
Allied Armies in the Crimea up to the moment of pub-
lication. This Supplement, like the one published on
the 15th instant, and which was so highly appreciated
by the public, will be entirely devoted to the intelligence
of the War. Purchasers will thus possess a detailed nar-
rative of all the great events of this important under-
taking, which may be preserved separately from the
newspaper, if desired, or, being uniform in size and ap-
pearance, can be bound with the volume of the year. It
is the intention of the Proprietors to issue at interval'
other Supplemilits, carrying on the History of the War,
and giving the fullest and most authentic information on
the subject. The Dispala will also contain a full account
of the fate 'of`Sir John Franklin and his brave nom-
pinions. Orders should be immediately given to the
News-agents in town and country, or at the Diardc
Offlos, 139, fltotitreet.

ARRIVAL OF THE 66rn FROM QUEBEC.

The two hired transports William and Flora arrived
at Spithead on Monday evening from Quebec, with the
66th Regiment, in charge of Sir William Gordon, Bart.,
Lieutenant-Colonel, and Licutenant-Colenel Grubbs.
The ships sailed in company from Quebec on the 30th of
September, and on the lith of October encountered a
se•fere sale. The officers and men are all in robust
health, and no accident of any kind has occurred to
either daring the voyage.

The remains of the late Admiral Sir B. Martin are to
leave Portsmouth to-day, to be conveyed by railway to
Kensal-green Cemetery, where they are to rest.
The commander-in-chief, Vice Admiral Sir Thomas
Cochrane, went out in the Vivid to-day and inspected
the Powerful, 84, CAptairi Ma36o.

FALMOUTH, Oct, 24.—The Colossus, 80, screw steamer,
anchored three miles off Pendennis on Monday after-
noon. She commenced setting up rigging, sail fixed
her funnel. She will sail immediately for the West
Indies.

An official application has been snide to the Admi-
ralty for permision that the Russian and Finnish offi-
cers who left Sheerness on parole for Lewes may he per-
mitted leave on parole to visit Loddoo ; and further,
that the younkers (as cadets) may also be permitted to
enjoy the same privilege. A satisfactory answer has
been received, granting the boon asked for by them.
Several of the officers and a great number of the younkers
attended Divine service at the dookyard chapel, Sheer-
ness, every Sunday while they were there, when the
weather permitted them to be sent on shore from the
Devonshire and Benbow.

THE APPARENT DELAY.

The Constitutionnel says :—" We believe that it
was only on the 18th that the fire was to have been
opened against Sebastopol ; but for the moment
the siege operations were to be carried on vigorously.
It has been superabundantly proved that there are
in a siege preliminary works, which it is, in the
power of no one to abridge. Let the siege of
Rome be remembered, and it will be seen that no
time has been lost ; but the rapidity of disem-
barkation, and that of the march from the Alma to
Balaklava, have created amongst the public an im-
patience which must, however, cede before possible
facts."

IPSWICH—OcT. 24.

The supply of wheat was small. The excitement which
has pervaded the trade the last ten days was equally shown
at this market, wed the advance on previous prices fully 8s
to 10s per qr. Barley was in good supply. The high prices
demanded checked sales, but choice qualities fetched an
advance of 3s to 48 per qr. on last week's rates. Beans and
peas scarce and dear.

Pim, who was present as the friend of Dr. Armstrong,
and said, " Were it not for you, sir, many of tie now
present would never have seen Ohl England again. All
of us look upon you as our deliverer, and none of us
will forget the joy we felt when you reached us." (liar,
hear.)
Lieutenant PIM, in reply, said—l thank you, my
lads. I shall never forget our meeting. I congratu-
late you most heartily upon your escape front a fate
similar to that of poor Sir John Franklin. I hope you
will now enjoy yourselves to your hearts' content ; and
next spring I dare say we shall meet again under the
walls of Cronstadt, or perhaps in St. Petersburg itself,
(Cheers.)
The most hearty and warm feeling was reciprocated
between Dr. Armstrong and the men on the occasion ;
and he and Lieutenant Pim bid them an affectionate
I farewell on retiring.

THE "COMING" CAPTURE
London, England, 1854-01-03

A NORTH-SE.A. SQUADRON.

We believe that the most energetic efforts will be put
forth immediately by our dockyards to create and fit
out a powerful North-Sea squadron, to be ready for
service as soon as the ice breaks up. The push will be
for steamers, of which we are now getting rather short,
so many having been commissioned in 1853.
Leaving Admiral Corry's force where it is, or sending
it to Malta or to Constantinople, whilst Admiral Dun-
das is scouring the Black Sea, we have a goodly force in
ships at the home ports. Enumerating them on the spur
of the moment we shall find the following :

SCREWS.

Royal George... 120 ' Captain Codrington, C.B,
Princess Royal 91 Captain Lord C. Paget.
Cressy Bl Captain Warren.
Blenheim 6O Captain Hon. F. Pelham,
Hogue 6O Captain W. Ramsay.
Edinburgh 5B Captain Hewlett.
Ajax ............... 58 Captain Warden.
Euryalus 5l Captain J. Ramsay.
Dauntless 33 Captain Ryder.
Horatio 22 Commander Jenner.

PADDLES.
Magicienne l6 Captain Fisher.
Basilisk .......... 6 Commander Hon. F. Egerton.
Medea ........... 6 Commander Phillimore.
Cyclops .......... 6 Master Commander Roberts.
SAILING SHIPS.
Waterloo . ....... 120 Flag-ship, Sheerness.
St. George l2O Flag-ship, Devonport.
Neptune l2O Flag-ship, Portsmouth.
Monarch B4 Depot-ship, Sheerness.
Boscawen 7O Flag-ship, for West Indies.
Pique 36 Fitting at Devonport.
Juno 26 Ditto.
Racehorse l4 Ditto.
With some smaller steamers and sailing vessels.
This would make a largeiforce (the ships are all sea-
going vessels), but there is not half-a-dozen of them fully
manned, and few of the others have more than their
complement of marines on board. Well fitted and fully
manned, this force alone would give a good account of
the Cronstadt fleet if met in good sea room.
It is rumoured that the Neptune, 120, will fit out for
the Mediterrauean, and the Nelson, 120, take her place
as guardship at Portsmouth.

The Termagant, 24, new screw, hitherto a failure, is
having her machinery examined, preparatory to being
brought forward for commission, at Portsmouth.
THE CAPTAINS' ACTIVE LlST.—Captains Richard
Shepherd Triscott (1841) and Samuel Perkins Pritchard
(1841), having accepted the retirement of 1846, the
active list of captains is reduced to 249. On the Ist of
January, 1851, the number was 495.
THE RETIRED LIST OF 1846.—8 y the deaths of Rear
Admiral Ramsden and Captain Stoddart, Captains John
Pakenham (1826) and Frederick Augustus Wetherall
(1826) become entitled to be removed from the 18s. list
to the 20s. per diem list.
THE ADMIRALTY NAVY LIST BY " AUTHORITY.”—A
precious authority this Navy List continues to be. The
discrepancies were sufficiently apparent last quarter ;
they are ten times worse this. Names are left on the
list that were off two months ago, and those are omitted
that ought.to appear, These omissions are more parti-

INTRIGUES IN THE ARMY.

It was last night whispered in military circles
that General Wetherall, feeling that he is the victim
of an intrigue, in having had another placed over
his head as Adjutant-General, has tendered his
resignation. We do not wish to be - understood as
touching for the fact, but the information comes to
us from a quarter in which a knowledge of what is
taking place in the higher branches of the military
service would naturally- be supposed to exist. We
are in a position to make some important revela-
tions respecting what is going on at the Horse
Guards, but there are considerations of policy why
we should withhold them for the present.—Morn-
ing Advertiser.

e The Public will be gratified to learn that L. Hyam has pre
par. at an Extensive Stock of WINTER AT riße, expressly for the

PHOTOGRAPHIC EXHIBITION. ROYAL VISIT THIS
MORNING.—This morning her Majesty and his Royal
Highness Prince Albert paid a visit to the exhibition of
photographic pictures at the gallery of the Society of
British Artists, in Suffolk-street, Pall-mall. At the ap-
pointed hour (eleven o'clock) the committee of the Pho-
tographic Society were in readiness to receive the royal
visitors, and within a few minutes of the time her Ma-
jesty and the Prince arrived. The exhibition, which is
a very extensive one, was minutely examined by her
Majesty, who appeared extremely gratified, as well as
surprised, at the perfection to which the professors of
photography have brought their interesting art. Among
the collection are pictures from all parts of the world,
mostly exhibiting peculiar excellence either as re-
gards, size, execution, or design. Some very fine speci-
mens of daguerreotypes, both portraits and views (such
as the late Great Exhibition, also attracted the
interest and approval of her Majesty. The daguerreo-
types exhibited are by Arr. Mayall, of Argyll-place, Re-
gent-street, Mr. Claudet, Mr. Beard, and other well-
known artists,

OPERATION OF UNDUE INFLUENCES.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE MORNING ADVERTISER.

Sir,—l speak advisedly when I say there is not
any class of persons more indebted to you for
exposing the Coburg intrigues than the heads of
public departments. The amount of interference,
or rather dictation, which is practised at any
public office when a vacancy occurs in a place
which is required for a portegee of a foreign family,
is difficult to describe. Neither seniority, nor
merit, nor past services can be pleaded in reply.
The application from influential quarters is, in fact,
an ukase, and the man who refuses it will surely
be marked out for disgrace at an early opportunity.
Nor, alas ! Sir, does the evil end here : for, in-1
credible as it may sound at first, it is a fact, that au
intimation, Ma manner and tone not to be mistaken, 1,
is given to persons filling important offices that cer-
tain things wine expected ofthem, the effect of which
is, that an imperium in imperio is established,
and probably at the very moment that a Secretary
of State is on his road to Osborne or Balmoral
with important information to his royal mistress,
the very facts he is the bearer of are already far on
their way to Bruxelles, and King Leopold and the
Coburgs are thus enabled to pull the strings of our
government, both at home and abroad.
It is said that the effect of the present exposure
will merely lead to a temporary lull in the Court
intrigues, or perhaps to greater caution in future.
But I trust to its having a much more beneficial
effect, and that our policy both at home and abroad
will give evidence that our labours have not been
in vain. Should this hope be disappointed, then
history, which has taught us our remedy, will, in-
deed, have been read without profit by those who
are most interested ; and the nation will have no
other choice open to it, but to show that it has
both the inclination and the power to prescribe the
needed remedy—l am, Sir, your obedient servant,

YEATES'S-COURT RAGGED SCHOOLS, CLARE-MARKET.
—On Sunday, being New Year's-day, a most substantial
dinner was given by the rector of St. Clement Danes,
Strand, to upwards of 140 children attending the sohools.
They assembled at the Vestry-house after the morning
service,, where they were met by the clergy and church-
wardens of the parish, who were accompanied by other
friends who take a deep interest in the welfare-of this
charitable institution. The dinner consisted of fine roast
beef, bread, and plum-pudding, and was distributed by
the rector to the poor children, for which they evinced
the greatest thankfulness and gratitude. Appropriate
addresses were delivered by the rector and R. Twining,
Esq., and after singing the Doxology the children were
dismissed, highly delighted with their treat.

INTRIGUES IN THE ARMY.

It was last night whispered in military circles
that General Wetherall, feeling that ho is the victim
of an intrigue, in having had another placed over
his head as Adjutant-General, has tendered his
resignation. We do not wish to be understood as
vouching for the fact, but the information comes to
us from a quarter in which a knowledge of what is
taking place in the higher branches of the military
service would naturally be supposed to exist. We
are in a position to make some important revela-
tions respecting what is going on at the Horse
Guards, but there are considerations of policy why
we should withhold them for the present—Morn-

The following patriotic song—the words by Edward
Farmer, the music by George Simpson—has just been
published by Jewell and Letchford, Soho•square :
Hark ! hark ! where the Lion is roaring,
List ! list ! 'tis the growl of the Bear ;
Above the proud Eagle is soaring,
' The Crescent waves high in the air.
The steed with impatience is neighing,
The flag of rude war is unfurled,
The trumpet its wild note is braying,
And threatens the peace of the world.
Then up with the standard of England,
Our watchword alone be " Advance!"
Up, up with the standard of England,
And raise the brave banner of France.

'Tis fearful that life should be wasted,
'Tis dreadful that blood should be shed,
That the horrors of war should be tasted,
And that ravens and wolves should be fed.
All that honour permits has been borne,
Every mild art of peace has been tried,
Mediation been met with foul scorn,
And now " war to the knife" must decide.
Then up with the standard, &c.

Then onward by sea and by land,
Since there's no other course to pursue,
Let Old England and France, hand in hand,
Show the world what, combined, they can do;
Let our scabbardless swords meet the light,
" Down, down with tho tyrant!" our cry ;
'Tis for honour and justice we fight,
So forward to conquer or die.
Then up with the standard, Pm

LONDON, TUESDAY, JANUARY 3, 1854

Festivities continue to overlay the natural
anxiety prevalent in the principal capitals of
Christendom. The Sovereigns of Europe by en-
couraging these festivities are wise in their gene-
ration. At least they are contriving thus adroitly
enough to postpone the evil-day—the inevitable
day of reckoning. They are hereby striving
somewhat ingeniously to divert the popular atten-
tion from the misdeeds or the short-comings of
their respective Governments. They are endea-
vouring, by the prolongation of these seasonable
Court ceremonials—seasonable so far as concerns
the time of the year, though, politically speaking,
never more unseasonable—to distract the atten-
tion of the multitude from the deplorable confu-
sion in which the family of nations has become
involved, thanks to their perverse diplomacy and
pusillanimous mal-administration.

Amidst the throng of these Christmas rejoicings
and New-Year's festivities—what, let it be asked,
are the more conspicuous events of a political
nature observable in the chief capitals of the
European Continent ? Why, candidly, they are as
readily enumerated as they are significant in their
character. Private advices from Constantinople
inform us that there has been a somewhat serious
disturbance iu that metropolis—a disturbance
provoked by the Ulemas, but readily suppressed,
according to our information, and calculated, in
the opinion of certain credulous gobemouches, to
render the Divan favourable to au Armistice. A
conjecture, this latter, exceedingly probable
under the circumstances, just as it was all along
exceedingly probable that the proposals of the Four
Powers would be favourably received at the Su-
blime Porte—always and invariably providing
two essential conditions are attended to as pre-
liminaries—Firstly, that the Principalities be eva-
cuated, and, secondly, that the integrity of the
Ottoman Empire he guaranteed. Intelligence
from St. Petersburgh acquaints the rest of the
world with the gratifying fact that the Te
Dorm has passed off with admirable effect,
in the presence of the Court and the high
functionaries the Te Deum chaunted in
honour of the butchery at Siuope, that blas-
phemous sequel to the Manifesto, ending with the
versicle of the Royal Prophet, In to Domine
sperati, non confandar in ceternum. Accounts
from Vienna imply that the same specious policy
is being persevered in by the imperial councils of
Sehoenbrunn which have so long deluded that over-
zealous lover of " harmony," that accomplished
dilletanti, but most egregiously blundering of
ambassadors, Lord WaszitoßmaD. Information
