ARRIVAL OF THE EDINBURGH.

We learn by electric telegraph from Edinburgh that
hea Majesty's steam-ship Edinburgh, flag-ship of Ad-
miral Chads, arrived in Leith Roads, from the Baltic,
yesterday afternoon.

ARRIVAL OF THE OTHER PRUSSIAN
GUN-BOAT. -

On Thursday the Prussian gun-boat Salamander was
handed over to the Admiralty authorities, go that the
Prussian crew may go on board the frigate Thetis to
work her to Prussia.

CUTTING DOWN OF THE ROYAL GEORGE.
The Royal George is ordered to be cut down to a
two-decker, in consequence of her rolling propensities at
sea. During the time she has been out she has had to
send her lower deck guns into the hold to stiffen her,
and even when the crew have all been at general quar-
ters, on their shifting over from side to side, she has
taken from six to seven degrees' carsen over. For
greater convenience, it is expected that all her guns will
be put on board some of the ships now lying at Sheer-
ness in ordinary, to facilitate their being taken on board
again, when she has been made ready to receive them.
She will hereafter carry all her guns of the heaviest
calibre, with the large swivel traversing pivot-guns of 95
cwt., on her upper deck.

NAVAL AND MILITARY INTELLIGENCE,

The St. Jean d'Acre was taken out of dock at Keyham
yesterday, and was completed to-day.
The Princess Royal comes out of Plymouth dock to-
day, when she will be complete.
The Monarch, 84, Captain Erskine, will be complete
on the 28th instant.
The Cressy was taken into No. 3 dry-dock at Sheer-
ness on Thursday, and as she was leaving the dock-gates
the gate-chain on the starboard side broke ; she was in
consequence hove out again and berthed alongside the
victualling stores. The crew are stripping her for a
thorough overhaul of her running and standing rigging,
and ail her stores of every description are being deposited
in the respective store departments. No. 1 dry-dock
has been prepared for her, and she was taken into dock
yesterday. The statement as to 48 hours' leave being
granted to the officers was an error, her gallant com-
mander being only authorised to grant 24 hours, which
was done as far as the convenience of the service would
permit.
It is ordered that the crews of this ship, the Majestic,
and Royal George are to be paid wages due to them
today, if possible. The Wildfire and Lizard steam-
vessels are ordered to hold themselves in readiness to-day
to convey 300 liberty men from these ships to the North
Kent Railway station at Strood, for conveyance to Lon-
don. It is reported that long leave will be granted the
men.

Cochrane, steamed into Portsmouth harbour yesterday

THE EMPEROR NAPOLEON AND FREE TRADE

In our news from Franceesterday we mentioned the
publication of an Imperial decree in the moaiteur
making some important alterations in the duties on
sugar, molasses, oil, and other matters imported
into France. The changes made by this measure
are as follows :—lt reduces the import duties on
foreign sugars by about 4f. per 100 kilogrammes.
It takes the duty entirely off molasses which are
the produce of the French colonies, and admits
foreign molasses, which have heretofore been pro-
hibited, at a duty of 13f. It reduces the duty on
dried raisins from 17f. to 2f. The duties on oil,
grease, and oleaginous seeds, are reduced one-half ;
those on candles are reduced from 27f. to 10f, The
duties on the articles used in the manufacture of
composition candles, according to their quality, are
reduced from 65f. to 25f., and from 91f. to 35f.
The object of the first of these decrees is to reduce
the price of the raw material used in the distilla-
tion of alcohol, the price of which has for some
time past been exorbitant. For this purpose, large
quantities of sugar as well as of dried grapes aro
used in France. The object of the second decree is
to relieve the soap manufacturers, who have suffered
much from the high prices of the articles used in their
trade. The measure is another step towards the intro-
duction of free trade. It is to the honour of Louis Napo-
leon that he has done more to place the commerce of the
empire upon sound principles during tke last four years
than was done by Louis Philippe during the whole
course of his reign.

COUNTERFEIT HALF-SOYIRRIGNS.—It appears that
amongst the base coin in circulation are some Victoria
half-sovereivis of 1852, struck out of brass with a die, and
electro-plated, and so hard that they will not bend in the
detector. in point of weight they are very uc.h
lighter, and the ring is very brassy and dull. I'hom
ling round the edge is very perfect, but the die from
which they have been struck is far from pe.rfect,. and,
on inspection, shows that the letters n in Britanniarum
are inverted. Some Victoria sovereigns of the same
date are also in circulation. They are made in the
same way as the half-sovereigns, but the die from which
they have been struck is coarser and more faulty than
that from which the half-sovereigns have been struck,
The wreath which is round the coat of arms contains
fewer leaves than in a real one, whilst the letters are
larger and coarser, and the figures in the date are not
all of one size, and the dots or pellets between the in.
scriptions are wanting.

THE MEDITERRANEAN.

—.—
MARSEILLES, DEC. 20.—The weather is extremely
severe. We have constant gales from the N.W.,
with occasional torrents of rain. The sun is
rarely visible ; still the embarkation of troops
and stores for the Crimea proceeds without inter-
mission. There is one fact, however, which
must strike everybody who carefully attends to
those operations, which is the manifest superiority
of the captains and officers of British steamers
in affording facilities for the quick embarkation
of troops over our French Allies, even in their
own ports. The frigate Constitution, for example,
and the large transport Chandernagor, which have
lain for several days in the port of the Joliette, have
not yet embarked their cargoes, while several Bri-
tish steamers have arrived, received troops, and
sailed within the same period. General Rostolan,
the Commander-in-Chief, is nevertheless indefati-
gable. The Packet Company of the Messageries
Imperiales, likewise, have aided the good work
by despatching various steamers extraordinary
for Constantinople. The mail steamer Thabor,
which should have sailed for Constantinople! on
Monday, with 200 of the 4th Regiment of Light
Infantry, detachments from various other regiments,
and six horses, was detained by bad weather until
Tuesday. The Tap sailed last night for Constanti-
nople with troops and 20 English surgeons. The
steamer France, just launched at Toulon, has
arrived. She is chartered by the Government, and
will take troops a*d 1,000 tons of stores to the

THE EM-PEROR NAPOLEON AND FREE TRADE

In our news from France yesterday mentioned the
publication of an Imperial decree in the Monitcue
making some important alterations in the duties on
sugar, molasses, oil, and other matters imported
into France. The changes made by this measure
are as follows :—lt reduces the import duties en
foreign sugars by 'iabout 41. per 100 kilogramme,.
It takes the duty entirely elf molasses which are
the produce of the French colonies, and admits
foreign molasses, which have heretofore been pro-
hibited, at a duty of 13f. It reduces the duty on
dried raisins from 17f. to 2f. The duties on oil,
grease, and oleaginous seeds, are reduced one•half ;
those on candles are reduced from 27f. to 10f. The
duties on the articles used in the manufacture of
composition candles, according to their quality, are
reduced from 65f. to 25f., peed from !elf. to 35f.
The object of the first of these decrees is to reduce
:he price of the raw material used in the distill?,
ton of alcohol, the price of which has for some
Vine past been exorbitant. For this purpose, large
quantities of sugar as well as of dried grapes are
used in France. The object of the second decree is
to relieve the soap manufacturers, who have suffered
much from the high prices of the articles used in their
trade. The measure is another step towards the intro-
duction of free trade. It is the honour of Louis Napo
leon that he has done more to place the commerce of the
empire upon sound principles during the last four years
than was done by Louis Philippe during the whole
course of his reign.

ROUTE TO AUSTRALIA.

A deputation of the directors of the Australian Direct
Steam Navigation Company, via Panama, was yesterday
received by Viscount Canning, Postmaster-General, the
object being to bring under his Lordship's notice, with
other matter, the important fact, that a committee of the
Sydney Chamber of Commerce—nominated on the 13th
of July last, to report on the comparative advantages of
the various routes for postal communication between
England and Australia—have declared a decided prefer•
ence of that vid Panama, as being the line most likely to
secure punctuality and speed, together with other pre-
ponderating advantages.

THE BALABLAYA RAILWAY.

The Alexandervon Humboldt and the Earl of Durham
are now taking on board railway sleepers and rails, in
the Tyne, for the railway to be made at Balaklava, by
Messrs. Brassey and Peto. The Hesperus, another iron
screw vessel, has taken in a cargo of sleepers and rails
at Sunderland, and is ready for sea. Messrs. Bras,:ey
and Peto are also in treaty with Messrs. T. Marshall,
of South Shields, for .the Propeller, a handsome iron
screw steamer, of 750 tons burden, launched on Thurs-
day, and for another new vessel, built on the same
model, which is on the stocks and nearly ready for
launching. The labourers engaged by Messrs. Brassey
and Peto will not be taken from the north by the Alex-
ander von Humboldt and the Earl of Durham, but will
embark in the Thames, whence the steamers will pro-
ceed, after taking in their cargoes on the Tyne and
Wear.

NAVAL AND MILITARY INTELLIGENCE

The St. Jean d'Acre was taken out of dock at Keyham
yesterday, and was completed to-day.
The Princess Royal comes out of Plymouth dock to-
day, when she will be complete.
The Monarch, 84, Captain Erskine, will be complete
on the 28th instant.
The Cressy was taken into No. 3 dry-dock at Sheer-
ness on Thursday, and as she was leaving the dock•gates
the gate-chain on the starboard side broke ; she was in
consequence hove out again and berthed alongside the
victualling stores. The crew are stripping her for a
thorough overhaul of her running and standing rigging,
and all her stores of every description are being deposited
in the respective store departments. No. 1 dry-dock
has been prepared for her, and she was taken into dock
yesterday. The stateraent as to 48 hours' leave being
granted to the officers was an error, her gallant com-
mander being only authorised to grant 24 hours, which
was done as far as the convenience of the service would

permit.
It is ordered that the crews of this ship, the Majestic,
and Royal George are to be paid wages due to them
today, if possible. The Wildfire and Lizard steam-
vessels are ordered to hold themselves in readiness to-day
to convey 300 liberty men from these ships to the North
Kent Railway station at Strood, for conveyance to Lon-
don. It is reported that long leave will be granted the
men.
The Blenheim, 60, in temporary command of Captain
Cochrane, steamed into Portsmouth harbour yesterday
afternoon to refit.
Euryalus, 51, screw, Captain Ramsay, Portsmouth,
left last night for Devonport.
The Amphion is now moored on the west shore, at
Sheerness, at the moorings formerly occupied by the

Horatio.
The Cr ,rgon 6, paddle, commander Crawford, sailed
this morning from Portsmouth for the Crimea, touching
at Plymouth.
The Scout revenue cutter, at Sheerness, Isaac Saxby,
commander, arrived on Thursday from Harwich, and left
again yesterday f.jr the same port. The Scout on her
upward passage passed the Horatio, in the East Swin,
under steam power.
London, England, 1854-12-23

CUTTING DOWN OF THE ROYAL GEORGE

The Royal George is ordered to be cut down to a
two-decker, in consequence of her rolling propensities at
sea. During the time she has been out she has had to
send her lower deck guns into the hold to stiffen her,
and even when the crew have all been at general quar-
ters, on their shifting over from side to side, she has
taken from six to seven degrees' careen over. For
greater convenience, it is expected that all her guns will
be put on board some of the ships now lying at Sheer-
ness in ordinary, to facilitate their being taken on board
again, when she has been made ready to receive them.
She will hereafter carry all her guns of the heaviest
calibre, with the large swivel traversing pivot-guns of 95
cwt., on her upper deck.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

SIB, —The harrowing details of the condition of the
wounded after the battle of Alma have excited no less
astonishment than sympathy in the public mind ; but
the conclusion that the army is without medical officers,
medicines, and medical comforts is not necessarily cor-
rect. Of all these there may be at the seat of war a sup-
ply more than adequate to much greater demands, an
yet the circumstances attending a great battle—an army
in motion after victory—might cause confusion enough
to render unavailable the most abundant resources.
Thus, after the battle of Chillianwallah, 270 wounded
men of the 24th lay scattered about, and little attention
could be given to their wounds for 18 hours, because the
water-carriers had fled from the field. So in the present
instance, to organise a suitable provision for the wounded
in their passage to Scutari or Constantinople was perhaps
at the time simply impossible, in an army marching on,
as it was deemed, to a second contest and a fresh vic-
tory ; but now that they have arrived at these places,
doubtless everything will be done for the survivors that
science and philanthropy can devise to promote their
comfort and well being. That the common articles, lint,
1 andage., linen &c., have not been furnished in quan-
tities sufficient 'for far greater emergencies, it is ridicu-
lous to suppose ; but were it the case, most of these are
easily obtained in the bazaars in Constantinople. The
sympathy of England need not therefore exhibit itself in
this direction. What our suffering countrymen will
most want is that which England can alone supply—
good meat and drink ; and these should be forwardeaed
-without delay in the shape of preserved soups, mts,
&c., porter, port wine, &c. Arrow-root and similar
things may be dispensed with or sent in smaller quan-
tity ; they are fit enough for our fever hospitals, but not
adapted to heal wounds or supply fresh blood to the
exhausted system—Yours obediently,
MEDICAL OFFICER,
London, England, 1854-10-16

THE WAR ON THE DANUBE

The movements of the Turks in the Dobrudscha
and in Moldavia indicate that an attack ou Bessa-
rabia will not be deferred much longer. Omer
Pacha has been lately moving in all directions—one
day at Bucharest, the next on the Danube, at Rust-
chuk, Silistria, Galatz, and Ibraila. He has re-
peatedly visited Silistria and Matschin, to inspect
the troops there. There were 15,000 Egyptian and
Turkish troops at Kalarasch, which are to go to the
Dobrudscha, where most of the troops from the
Lower Danube are concentrating. The Turkish
centre is opposite Ismail, and at this point and at
Reni the Russians are concentrating from the
north ; while the troops in Bessarabia are ordered
to go with all speed to the Crimea. Cara Kiz, the
Kurdish Amazon, has gone from Varna, with her
troop of wild riders to the Crimea.
A letter from Bucharest, 2d, says :—" The Gene-
ral-in chief of the Turkish army left this place on the
29th ult. for Kalarasch, to inspect the troops cantoned
on the Danube. Omer Pacha before his departure
presented to Mehemet Sadik Pacha the order of
Mejidie, third class, which the Sultan had conferred
onhim., On the 21st, 22d, and 25th ult., deputations
from the Boyards, the merchants,and the forty-eight
trading corporations, waited on that General, who
is the Commandant of Bucharest, to present him
addresses from their respective bodies."
The Press of Vienna, of the 9th, says :—" A
letter from Constantinople states that Field-Mar-
shal Baron de Hess having made known to his Ca-
binet the proclamation of the Turkish commandant
of Bucharest, directed against Prince Stirbey,
Austria has laid a complaint on the subject at
Constantinople, and demanded satisfaction. This
demand was the object of a negotiation on the 26th
ult. Nothing positive is yet known as to the result
of the conferences which have taken place, but it
is positively stated that the conduct of Omer Pacha
has been severely blamed. It is also said that he
has been reproached for the arbitrary arrest cf
MM. Golesco and Czeruatesco, as well as that of
several correspondents of German and English jour-
nals."
