GALLIPOLI.

The Moniteur, in a letter from Gallipoli, of the
sth, after mentioning the return of General Bos-
quet, says :—"The General returned from Schuinla
to Gallipoli by Kasan, Selimno, Jamboli, and Ad-
rianople. The officers of his staff took plans of all
the itinerary from Varna to Airianople, by Schumla,
of which Colonel Desaint has recently executed the
prolongation as far as Gallipoli. This valuable
work is accompanied by descriptive notes. The
fortifications of the peninsula of Gallipoli advance
rapidly ; the ].O battalions of the first division are
employed on them, and the English division work
at the part attributed to them on the left of the
lines. The number of sick among all the troops
already landed only amounts to 350, seeral of
whom were left in an hospital at the Dardanelles,
in which establishment there are 500 beds. The
health of the army is in every respect satisfactory."
Another letter from Gallipoli says that drunken-
ness continues to be the great evil of the allied
army. In one company of the 93d Regiment up-
wards of 20 men were brought up on one morning
at the camp to answer for this offence. A huge
gaunt Highlander, who had been fraternising,
with some Zouaves, presented a ludicrous appear-
ance on coming up before his officers. He had,
in the height of his convivial good fellowship, ex-
changed the greater portion of his dress with an
African soldier, and when morning brought recol-
lection he must have been rather horrified to find
himself in a fez cap, a blue jacket embroidered
with red worsted, a bright blue sash round his
waist, and enormous Dutch-built scarlet pantaloons
flapping about his legs. He had forgotten the yel-
low leather greaves, and when he was ordered up
he displayed the plaid hose of his regiment beneath
the gay nether garment of the French soldier.
What became of the corresponding Zouave, who
must have made rather a sensation among his corn
rades when be appeared before them in kilt and
coatee, has not yet been satisfactorily ascertained ;
but the. woe-begone, sheepish, and utterly prostrate
look of the Highlander, as he presented himself in
his borrowed wardrobe, can never be forgotten by
those who witnessed it. The " fraternising" is so
vigorous and cordial that it is really rather a
nuisance to commanding officers of regiments.

THE DOBRUDSCHA.

The following letter of the 30th of April, received
by the Vienna Medical Journal, contains matter
i
of such interest that t must be laid before the
public in extenso

"The enwmous train of k3ltkas. (a small carriage
without springs) and heavy waggons which accompanied
our corps into the p,brudscha, where literally nothing
is to be procured, is now on its way back to fetch a
fresh supply of provisions. The return load of these
vehicles is some hundreds of wounded men and some
thousands of spoiled weapons, uniforms, and other ne-
cessaries of war. We are even now expecting the
wounded men froM Kara-su, who are said to amount
to 500. In Brailow, Galatz, and Reni as good rccom-
',iodation as can be expected under such circum-
stances has been provided for 2,000 men, in addition
to the old hospitals, which are seven in number,
The bed furniture, which had been brought in very
largo quantities from Moldavia and Bessarabia, must
prove insufficient if the number of sick and wounded
should continue to increase in the same proportion as it
has done since the late unfortunate passage of the
Danube. The ambulances in the Dohrudscha fill with
such rapidity that consignments of sick and wounded
must be made twice a day to.Hirsova and Matschin,
and from those places to the left bank of the river. It
is utterly impossible to form an idea of the difficulties,
the hundreds and thousands of great and petty miseries,
which the men have to bear with, both night and day ;
but in spite of the privations to which they are sub.

CORN EXCHANGE.

We were very scantily supplied with English wheat to-
(l‘y, cotwise and by land cariae. For all kinds the
demand ruled steady, and in some` instances fine qualities
realised an advance in the prices obtained on Monday of
I.s. per quarter. Foreign wheat, the supply of which was
good, moved off freely, and the quotations had an upward
tendency. The import exceeds 37,00 J quarters. Floating
cargoes were dearer.
Barley was in fair supply and moderate request, on
former terms.
There was only a moderate sale for malt, at full prices.
The oat trade was dull, owing to the large arrivals. The
quotations, however, were well supported.
Beans, pease, and were unaltered in value.

A telegraphic despatch from Madrid, dated 15th,
says Queen Christina is ill. She has an attack of
scarlet fever.
The Madrid journals of the 13th have arrived,
hut their contents are unimportant. One of them
mentions a rumour current that Mr. Soule, the
United States Minister, was about to leave ou ac-
count of not being able to come to an arrangement
on the Black Warrior affair ; but this is not only
in direct contradiction to the statement in recent
letters of a settlement having been made, but the
Lithographic Correspondence asserts, on what it
represents to be good authority, that the Govern-
ment has not received any notification of Mr.
Soule having taken any such resolution.

111. LAW AND JUSTICE.

The total asked is 1,478,8511., and there is an in-
crease of 184,477/. over the vote of 1852, and of 97,4231.
over that of 1853. Of the twelve votes into which this
cl•,ss is divided, the following deserve specific notice :
(1) Law charges in E gland p,itd by the Solicitor to
Vie Treasury and Mint Pr,isecutions.—The total is only
29;561, but there is an increase of 13,5611. on the esti-
mate of 1853, which is partially accounted for by a dif.
ferei,ce of arrat,gement.
(7.) Prosecutions at Assizes and Quarter Sessions,
formerly paid from County Rates. —The amount is
250,0001., being an increase of 10,0001. on the estimates
of the last two years.
(9.) Government Prisons and Convict Establishments
at Home.—The amount proposed is 371,9331., and the
increase on the rote of 1852 is 110,4111. 18 different
establishments are partially or entirely provided for by
this vote, and the number of prisoners included within
their walls was in the last year 12,816.
(10 ) Nlaintena.ece of Prisoners in County and Borough
Gau:s and Bethlem Hospital.—The total amount, which
has been nearly stationary for the last two years, is
164.1651.

ill.) Expenses of Tiansportation.—The vote to be
asked is 92,7651, which is considerably more than that
f last year, but less than that of the year p. eceding.
Provision is made for the expenses of removal of 1,900

(12 ) Convict Establishments in the Colonies.—The
aggregate is 342,7021., and the increase over last year's
vote is 93.6431. The establishments are five in number,
and are situated re-pectively at Gibraltar. in Bermuda,
in New S•,uih Wales, in Western Australia. and in Van
Diemen's Land. The total number of convicts was last
year 25,050, and the establishments at Van Diemen's
Land are calculated to rec&ve about three-fourths of this
number. The proportion of the vote assigned to them
is 201,7251., and to those in Western Australia 76,765/.,
leaving only a comparatively small sum to be divided
among the remaining three.

THE ATTEMPT ON THE SULINA MOUTH
OF THE DANUBE.
The following is an extract from a letter from
R.M.S. Sidon :
"BLACK SEA, April 15. On the 15th of last month
We were going to attack the fort built to guard the
entrance of the Sulina mouth of the Danube, and cut
out a small schooner of war lying there, inside a large
clittin which they have stretched across the entrance.
Rowever, we could not get within range, for want of a
knowlege of the channel, and gave it up without firing
a shot at them. We went there again on the 8h of this
Month, and sent in a flag of truce, and brought ff our con-
, mil. They had made another battery since out first vi-if,
and were hard at work finishing it. There were four
gun-boats inside and the same schooner. TI e hosts
incrunted seven guns each and sixty men. "On Tu-.-s-
-daY, the 11th of April, our look-out man reported a
body of Cossacks coming over the bill at Ihe back of the
town. Our boats,. one French and tN o English, were
on shore watering, and only had three muskets with
them. We fired a signal gun for their return, but at
the meantime the Cossacks had advanced rapidly into
the town, were dismounted, and were led down to the
boats by two or three Greek ruffians who are still in the
plate. They arrived Jost as the boats had shoved off. A
rapid iiiterchat ge of shot toil place, and t,vo of tilt
Cossacks were knocked down during this time. The
French and ourselves were firing shut and shell at them.
In about half an hour they cleared out."
.‘ KusTEDIJKR, April 22.—We have been again to
Sulina ; this tithe with the Retribution. Niger, and
Descartes. Found. the torts di4mantled. All the
solditrs gone. They appear to have found out in good
time that the place was untenable against ships. In
our anxiety to get closer into the batteries got aground,
but only remained two hours. Our three cruisers have
taken 14 small prizes, several of which they were forced
to sink ; six we towed down here to-day.'

EXTRAORDINARY CARE OF SOMNAMBULISX.--A woman
has been rescued from drowning by the officers of the
Royal Humane Society under the following circum-
stances :—lt appears that the officers of time Royal
Humane Society had retired to rest about three-quarters
of an hour, when, at a quarter-past 11 o'clock, Mr.
Williams, the superintendent of the society, was startled
out of bed by a loud-knocking at the door. He at once
got up. and was informed by a woman, in a breathless
state of excitement, that th-re was a woman in the Ser-
. peotioe drowning. Mr. ‘Viiiianis rushed to the wards
and draLt•ged ‘Vilbarn Bull, one Of the boatmen, out of

under the shade of the trees, Mr. Williams could

PROVINOIAL BANK OF IRELAND.

At a meeting of the Provincial Bank of Ireland, held
yesterday, the dividend declared was at the rate of 8 per
cent., with a bonus of 4 per cent., and the report and
accounts were unanimously adopted. The chairman
(Sir J. W. Hogg) referred to the satisfactory progress of
business, principally caused through the improved situa-
tion of Ireland,
and illustrated by statistics the ditninu-
tion that has recently taken place in the pauper popula-
tion. The advance in the valve of agricultural and
farming stock, and the increased demand for laud avail-
able for occupation, were also quoted iu proof of the
great amelioration in the social condition of the country.
Annexed is an abstract of the accounts :

The show of beasts in to.day's market was but moderate.
All kinds moved off slowly, at barely Monday's prices. We
were well supplied with sheep, which met a dull inquiry,
at barely late rates. Lambs came freely to hand, and the
sale for them was heavy, on former terms. We had a dull
sale for, calves, at a decline in the quotations of fully 2d.
per Blbs. In pigs very little was doing, at late rates.
Mil& cows were steady, at from 14/. to 191. each, in-
chiding their small calf.

Petitions were presented by the Earl of SHAFTESBURY

ferent places in Yorkshire against Papal aggression.

Bankruptcy and Insolvency Bill.
Lord CAMPBELL presented similar petitions from
Dumbarton, Dundee, and Castle-Douglas.
Lord REDESDALE laid on the table the Manning

Harbour ; Guild of Literature and Art.
London, England, 1854-05-19

ST. PETERSBURGH.

At St. Petersburgh,. on the 12th, a manifesto
was published ordering new levies for the fleet and
army.

S. PETERSBIIRGH, May 7.—The Emperor is not
over well. The Grand Prince and heir apparent
lives in a very retired manner, while the Gran('
Prince Constantine is uncommonly busy ; for
sometimes he inspects the crews of ships, some-
times he travels to different places on the coast,
then he examines the magazines, hospitals, and
the like. The military reviews are less frequent.
The garrison was weakened by the departure of
the guards, but is strengthened again by reserves.
The court has experienced a great loss in the' per-
son of General Rochov.

There is a singular reserve manifested respecting
Austria. General Grunwald, who has returned
from Vienna, cannot have brought any good news
with him, otherwise we should have heard by this
time of rewards, decorations, and so forth. This
much is certain, that after the last despatches came
from Vienna important orders were transmitted to
Paskiewitch and Menschikoff.
The Russian journals publish every day lists of
" patriotic contributions,' but the "lists" look very
meagre when we remember the value of a rouble
now-a-days. Thus the Petersburg clergy have pre-
sented to the Czar 100,000 silver roubles, and the
capital itself an additional 10 per cent. on the taxes
of the housekeepers. " A nobleman in Courland,
a retired captain; the Baron von Schoeppink, has
paid 27,403 silver roubles from his own purse, which
the peasants on his estate owned the crown."
The Police Gazette of St. Petersburg, of the Bth,
announces that four quarters of the suburbs of that
city have been placed in a state of siege, and four
military governors have been appointed to carry
the measure into execution.

The Cologne Gcezette says :—"According to the
last accounts from St. Petersburg, the Emperor
has had a relapse of illness. The inhabitants of
St. Petersburg are obliged to find quarters for
troops, and there are besides in the environs
20,000 Cossacks."
London, England, 1854-05-19

RUMOURED CAPTURE OF REVEL.

It was rumoured in Paris yesterday that a de-
spatch had been received announcing the " cap-
ture" of Revel.

REPORTED CAPTURE OF AN ENGLISH
FRIGATE.

The following despatch was received at Vienna
yesterday :
" ODESSA, May 12.—An English screw frigate of
32 guns was wrecked this morning at Little Fon-
taine, close to Odessa, and surrendered, with her
crew.

" Two other steamers, which reached the place
later, opened fire against the land batteries, which
continued when the advices left.
" The town remains tranquil."
From another quarter we learn that the name of
the vessel is the Tiger. If this be correct, she has
only 16 guns. She was built at Chatham in 1849,
is of 1,220 tons, and 400-horse power. The follow-
ing is the official list of officers on board:—Captain
Henry W. Giffard, -Lieutenants Atfred Royer,
Alex. Hamilton, and W. E. Stone.g2-/Mas. ter Fras.
Edington. First Lieutenant of Marine Artillery
—R. T. Ansell. Surgeon H. J. Domville. Pay-
master Geo. A. Lance. Mate, C. H. Wilkinson
(acting). Assistant-Surgeon Edm.Lawless. Second
Master John C. Solfleee. Clerks—John G. Barnes
and N. G. Simmomda.
The crew consisted of 200 men, who, it is said,
were not made prisoners until after a gallant re-
sistance. It is added that Captain Giffard was
wounded in the defence of his ship. If all these
statements should prove to be groundless—and the
news, it will be xemembered, can at present come
only by the Russian telegraph—the story of the
Tiger will be the greatest Russian falsehood yet
told.

and lambs. Prime Down breeds moved off steadily, at
full prices. Otherwise the demand was in a sluggish state,

The plantation accounts not being very favourable,
there is rather more business doing in our market, and
the quotations have an upward tendency. Some parties
call the duty 130,0001. This week's imports are 2d bales
from Antwerp, and 51 from New York. The quotations

SPORTING INTELT,IGENCE.

TATTERSALL'S—YESTERDAY.
Bath accounts were balanced, an 1 some progress wag
made in comparing bets on the Derby.
Fresh speculations were productive of some important
changes, and in two or three instances, especially with
regard to Autocrat and King Tom, the movements were
strange and inconsistent.

Whilst one party was taking "on the chances" 12 to
1 about King Torn, another 30 to 1 about Autocrat, and
another 12 to 1 about the two, 1000 even was betted on
Hospodar against the two, and 500 even on the Trapper
against the two. Then, after a brief interval, and a
little finessing, 6000 to 200 was laid against Autocrat,
and almost in the next moment 1000 to 50 taken ; and
yet the pencil was scarcely replaced in the pocket when
30 to 1 was again offered in fifties or hundreds. King
Torn had certainly the more trustworthy look of the two,
but it is for Wednesday next to dispel the mystery in
which he and Autocrat are at present involved. Der-
vish returned to 7 to 2, and was apparently firm at the
close. Andover and Hermit NI ere backed for a good
deal of money, the former at 7 to 1, 13 to 2, and 6 to 1;
the latter at 10 to 1. Hospodar was in very strong de-
mand ; 7000 to 420 in one bet, three other bets of 1000
to 60 each, 1400 to 100, 12 to 1 to 2001., and several
minor bets were booked about him. Neville was also
looking up ; 25 to 1 was taken to 1751. about the Trap-
per. 5000 to 125 in one bet about Marsyas. 1000 to
20, 1000 to 25, and 1000 to 30 about Alembic. 1000 to
20, and 1000 to 25 about Bracken, and 10,000 to 200 in
one bet about Middlesex.

The quotations at the close were as follows :

ST. PETERSBURG.

The Cologne Gazette contains a letter from St. Peters-
burg of May 17, which says :
"The Emperor, on returni •g from Cronstadt, whither
he had gone to inspect the works executed there, thanked
the officers in the most affable manner for the excellent
manner in which everything had been . done, and for the
wonderful rapidity displayed. Every thing that can be
thought of is carried into execution to put the coasts of the
Black Sea and the Baltic in a state of defence, and even
private persons make efforts in order to captivate the favour
of the Czar. Menschikoff has announced that a lieutenant
named Wolochow, who had been allowed to retire from the
service, had offered to construct a martello tower for the
defence of Sebastopol, and the offer has been accepted ;
his work Men were using such exertions that it would
be ready to aid in the general defence 'of the place by
the 7th of May. The war contribution is levied through-
out the country with great rigour • the nobility of Wo-
logilo had been obliged to pay 30,000 silver roubles, and
those of Novogorof a like amount. The Governor of Mos-
cow, Count Zakrewski, who had been ordered to come to
St. Petersburg, arrived here the day before yesterday, ac-
companied by General .?diasjojedow. it is said that, the
matter under consideration. is to .excite. the patriotic en-
thusiasm of the people in the government' of Moscow,
where hitherto much reserve has been shown relative to
voluntary coutribUtions for the. war. It is now known in
an official manner that the reserves of the grenadier divi-
sions left Orel four weeks ago for Tubs. Orders have been
given in all the seaports to have the public money carried
into the interior."

The Emancipation of Brussels says :—° In the higher
military circle 4 of Berlin, which are well informed as to
the manner in which the present situation is regarded
at St. Petersburg, a strong dispositiiin exists to beliei;e
that the military operations of the Western Powers
against Russia have undergone a modification, and that
the camp of St. Omer is destined to serve as a depot for
an army to be disembarked in Finland. At St. Peters-
burg the arrival of the French army on the costs of
Finland appears to be certainly expected, since a 'corps
of 80,000 men is being concentrated there."

mentioned in paragraph 1, all persons whatever
found on board enemy's vessels. You will not
