PREPARATIONS FOR DEFENCE.
The corn magazines had been mostly removed to
Tirasopol. The arrival of the allied fleet was ex-
pected daily. A great number of troops passed
through Odessa during the last few days of August
from Novomirgorod, on their way to Akerman and
"ilia. The criminals in the prisons at Slawiansk,
Alexandrowsk, Bachmet, and Tschugujew, have
been employed for a long time on the fortifications
at Odessa and the neighbouring coast. Prince Men-
schikoff was at Perekop on the 24th, inspecting the
fortifications there, and returned on the same day
to Sebastopol. A correspondent of the Lloyd (to
'which journal we are principally indebted for the
above intelligence) says that Prince Menschikoff at-
taches great importance to Oczakow and Cherson ;
the fortifications of these places have consequently
been much strengthened.

FRANCE.

The 111oniteur of this morning announces the
departure of the French and Turkish divisions of
the expedition against the Crimea on the sth ; and
it adds that the British fleet was to join them at
Serpent Isle.
The Gironde of Bordeaux gives the following on
what it states to be undoubted authority :—" The
Emperor, preserving the strictest incognito, will
leave Paris on the 18th, and arrive the same day
at Bordeaux, where ho will sleep ; and on the
following day will proceed to join the Empress
at Biarritz. Two days after, their Majesties will
quit their residence and.rettirn to Dax, where a
fete will be given on the occasion of the inaugura-
tion of the part of the railway between Dax and
Bordeaux, at which their Majesties will be present.
From Dax the Emperor and Empress will proceed
without further stoppage to this place, where they
will arrive in the afternoon."
The King of the Belgians having recovered from
his indisposition left Brussels yesterday morning
for Tournai, and will be present at the last day of
the fetes.
On Sunday last the authorities of Bordeaux
ave a grand banquet to the Minister of the
Marine and Mme. Duces, who were on a visit to
that city. The dinner took place at the Hotel de
la Marine. Among the guests were the Cardinal-
Archbishop of Bordeaux, the General commanding
the military division, the Prefect of the Gironde,
M. and Mme. Espeleta, and a number of the nota-
bilities of the place. The hotel was brilliantly
illuminated on the occasion, and the baud of the
11th regiment played during the entertainment.
At the dessert the commissary-general of the mari-
time service proposed the health of the minister,
which was drunk with all the honours.

and is at present in command of that vessel at Ports-
mouth, to be captain.

MAIL FOR THE BLACK SEA-THE GUN-

BOATS.

The following was put up at the gate of Woolwich
dock-yard yesterday :
" Notice.—Letters for the Black Sea will be des-
patched by her Majesty's steam-vessel Lynx from Devon-
port on the 16th inst."
It is now certain from the above notice that three of
the screw steam despatch gun-boats arelintended for ser-
vice in the Black Sea—the Arrow, Lieutenant-Com-
mander Jolliffe ; the Beagle, Lieutenant-Commander
Hore ; and the Lynx, Lieutenant-Commander Luce,
under orders to leave Woolwich this morning for Green-
hithe, and then proceed to Devonport to take out a mail
from that port to the Black Sea. The only screw steam
despatch gun-boat sent to the Baltic up to the present
time •is the Wrangler, Lieutenant-Commander Risk.
The Viper, Lieutenant-Commander Lodder, is in dock
at Woolwich preparing for sea, and the Snake is having
her engines put on board. As it will take some time to
complete the two latter despatch gun-boats for sea, and
the advanced period of the season would not allow
of their services being available for any length of time in
the Baltic this year, it is consequently expected that
they will also proceed, when ready, to the Black Sea,
and that the six new light draught of water gun-boats
will be sent with the fleet early in the ensuing spring to
the Baltic.

;three. members to the uper House, have been car-
"ea in every district by large majorities.
Orders have been given to the chief of the Gotha

Ipeteness. The same steps are to be taken at the
toertress of Carlsten ; so that Sweden would appear

out even removing the cannon. As an excuse for
this step, it is asserted that many of them were
Unserviceable.
The Swedish Parliament has recommended the

national synod, to consist of priests and laymen in
equal numbers, but to be only consultative to begin

COURT CIRCULAR.

The Queen and Prince Albert, with the Prince of
Wales, Prince Alfred, the Princess Royal, Princess
Alice, and Princess Helena, arrived at Buckingham
Palace at a quarter to six o'clock yesterday afternoon.
from Osborne.

Her Majesty left Osborne at two o'clock, crossed if?
the Fairy to Gosport, where a special train was in readi-
ness to convey the Royal party by the South-Western
Railway to London. On arriving at the private station
at Vauxhall, the Queen and Prince, the Royal family,
and suite, proceeded in five of the Queen's carriages,
escorted by a detachment of Carbineers, to the Palace.
Her Majesty and his Royal Highness were attended
by the Duchess of Wellington, the Hon. Caroline Caven-
dish, Colonel the Hon. 0. B. Phipps, Major-General the
Hon. C. Grey, Lord Charles Fitzroy, the Master of the
Household, and Captain the Hon. D. de Ros, and were
received on alighting from their carriage, by the Hon.
Eleanor Stanley and Viscount Torrington.

DISARMING OF THE WALLACHIAN
MILITIA.

The disarming of the Wallachian militia took
place at Busco on the 26th ult.; that of the Walla-
chian artillery at Ibraila. The men, having refused
to enrol in the Russian service, were allowed to
depart (half naked), and 180 have reached Bucha-
rest. Only two officers (Colonel Lens, a brave
Russian, and a lieutenant) obeyed the Russian
summons. The cannon were carried off. Letters
from Galatz come down to the 28th ult. Every
effort is made to clear off the immense stores accu-
mulated at that place. The hospitals had already
been removed into Bessarabia, and it was expected
that Galatz and Ibraila would be evacuated in 5 or
6 days. The reserve of Luders' corps stands near
Galatz—of which corps about 35,000 men, with 32
field-pieces, are on the Moldo-Wallachian territory,
and the main body in and around Ibraila. Luders and
staff were at Galatz, where also are 2 steamers and 2
gun-boats. The retreat of the Russians appears to
1-e delayed as long as possible, and is as slow as can
be, in order to remove all suspicion of retreating
before the enemy. The officers assemble to amuse
themselves, and the bands play for the diversion
of the public. It is said that 300 families intend
to follow the Russians from Ibraila, and 150 from
Galatz.

W TREATIES BETWEEN RUSSIA AND

KING OSCAR.

We have this morning received a communica-
tion which contains the following :—" It is high
time that England and France at once extinguished
Russian usurpation in Finland, for facts show
that Sweden and Norway are fast becoming Rus- ,
sian vassals. At Bomarsund, fortifications were
going on which in a couple of years would
have rendered Sweden a mere Russian pro,
viuce ; and in Norway we find Russian intrigues of
the most extraordinary character. Without again
referring to King Oscar's odious and unexampled
four-ship affair— an open Russian trick concocted
in Stockholm—l would direct your serious atten-
tion to the two new measures. One is the new
border-treaty between Russia and Norway, which
deprives the Norwegian Finmarkers of two-thirds
of their pasture grounds. The other is a new
mutual delivery-treaty between the Czar and
Oscar, which compels Norway-Sweden to deliver up
all refugees, fugitives, wanderers, settlers, &c., of
every kind, at the mere request of any servant of
the Emperor, and at the expense of Oscar's people.
Both these one-sided, dangerous, and ruinous
acts have been proposed to the Norwegian Parlia-
ment by King Oscar himself, and driven through
by the influence of the Administration, in spite of
the murmurs and warnings of the most intelligent
members. The reason assigned was that Norway
was too weak to resist. This is the policy, this is
the patriotism, this is the morality, of a man made
King at an enormous expense, that he may defend
the people over whom he rules. You will agree
with me that it is high time decisive steps were
taken if Scandinavia is to be saved."

HER MAJESTY'S VISIT TO SCOTLAND.

THE DEPARTURE FROM OSBORNE.
Yesterday afternoon, about two o'clock, her Majesty
the Queen, the Prince Consort, the Royal Family, and
their respective suites, took their departure from Os-
borne, and embarked at East Cowes on board the
Royal steam-yacht Fairy, Captain the Hon. Joseph
Denman, for Gosport, en route to London and Scot-
land. Her Majesty's ship Salamander at Spithead,
and the Victory, St. Vincent, and Colossus, in Ports-
mouth harbour, were gaily decorated with flags as usual,
and the three latter fired royal salutes as the Queen
approached the channel of the harbour ; and, as the
yacht steamed on towards the Weovil landing-place,
their crews manned their yards and cheered. At a
quarter paSt three o'clock the royal cortege disembarked
at the Clarence Victualling-yard, Gosport, when the
splendid band of the Royal. Marines immediately struck
up " God save the Queen," and the guard of honour,
commanded by the Commandant Colonel Willes, and
Lieutenant-Colonel Wright, presented arms and dipped
the colours. Her 11.1ajesty was received on alighting
by Port Admiral Sir Thomas Cochrane, K.C.8., End
his flag-lieutenant ; Major-General Simpson, lieutenant
governor of the Garrison of Portsmouth ; Rear-Admiral
Martin, superintendent of Portsmouth Dockyard ; Cap-
tain Courtenay, R.N., superintendent of the Royal
Clarence-yard ; Major Dalgetty, brigade-major of the
district ; Captain. Street, Royal Artillery, acting town-
major of Portsmouth ; Master-Attendant John Davies,
Esq., R.N., and other officers. At about 25 minutes past
3 the royal train started for Nine Elms under the direc-
tion of a party of chief officers of the South-Western
Railway Company. After the disembarkation of the
Court, the royal yachts proceeded to moorings in Ports-
mouth, the large one to lay up for the season.
This morning, at a quarter before eight o'clock, her
Majesty and the Royal family left Buckingham Palace
for Holyrood, en route to Balmoral. Her Majesty tra-
velled by the Great Northern Railway.

HAYMARKET THEATRE.

The melancholy death of Mrs. Fitzwilliam has ren-
dered necessary a change in the performances r.t this
theatre, and She Stoops to Conquer has been substituted
for The Oil Chateau, Mr. Compton sustaining the part
of Tony in his usual admirable manner.
The Spanish dancers continue extremely attractive.
With reference to the great loss the theatre has sus-
tained it will scarcely be necessary to dwell upon Mrs.
Fitzwilliam's merits as an actress, as they are universally
known and appreciated ; but a short sketch of her
theatrical career may at the present moment he interest-
ing. She was the daughter of Mr. Robert Copeland,
manager of the Dover and other Kentish theatres, and
was born in 1802. At the early age of two years, Miss
Fanny Copeland may be said to have commenced her
theatrical life as one of the children in the play of The
Stranger. When five years old she played in Torn
Thumb, singing all the music ; and, at the age of twelve
she presided at the then fashionable promenade con-
certs at Margate. After devoting three years to her
musical studies, she returned to the stage, and appeared
at the Haymarket Theatre in the character of Lucy, in
The Review.

She afterwards played at the Surrey, under the man-
agement of Tum Dibdin, who brought her forward in a
variety of characters, particularly Effie Deans, in his
adaptation of the Heart of Mid-Lothian, which established
her success, and induced Mr. Elliston to engage her for
Drury-lane.
In December, 1822, she married Mr. Fitzwilliam, the
popular Irish actor, and for several years performed at
the various metropolitan theatres—her singing and
acting always rendering her a great attraction.
She twice visited America, where she was an immense
favourite. For several years she has performed princi-
pally at the Adeiphi and Haymarket Theatres, and ap-
peared at the latter for the last time on Saturday.
It is stated that Mrs. Fitzwilliam had been labouring
for some days from premonitory symptoms of cholera,
but they did not assume a serious character until
Monday morning—her death ensuing after twelve hours'
suffering.
Her son, Edward Fitzwilliam, is known as a rising
young composer; and her daughter, Miss K. Fitzwilliam,
as a pleasing and expressive singer.

CONSTANTINOPLE.

We have just received the following :—I write
to-day (Aug. 31) more to prevent a belief that any-
thing has occurred than to relate actual events.
Nothing has arrived from Varna since the Mar-
seilles mail left here yesterday, and therefore We
can but conclude that the embarkation is proceeding
with all speed, particularly as the weather is fine
and calm, not too hot, and the men are generally
restored to health, and in good spirits for the work
before them. The Duke of Cambridge returned to
Varna in the Caradoc yesterday evening ; he iS
quite well now, but is still a little lame. The four
regiments which were stationed in the neighbourhood
of Unkiar-Skelessi have now embarked, and will sail
to-day for the rendezvous at Baltschik. Tho hill
sides, which two days ago were whitened with their
tents, are now brown and desolate ; nothing but
the ashes of their fires mark the spot so lately occu-
pied. The steamers which filled the Bay of Beico,
are gone also, or will leave to-day. The Orinoco,
Colombo, and Medway steamed out yesterday, and
will be followed immediately by the Cambria and
Avon. In a few days the neighbourhood of Con-
stantinople will be quite deserted, and those whO
remain behind will live in breathless expectation of
the events which are occurring near them. The
unprecedented nature of the undertaking, the
vastness of the convoy, the little and untrustvva-
thy information received by the commanders of the
defences and preparations of the enemy, make the
anxiety intense, and the news which a few daYsf,
more will bring will elate or depress the hearts 01
thousands.
The following is a summary of ConstantinePirs
news of the 31st August. It is confirmed that a
plot for assassinating the commanders of the exPe"
dition has been discovered. It is said that whe.l!
the communication between Bayazid and Tabrls
was interrupted the Persians took up a P°siti°
which forced the Russians to retreat. General
Bebuton has been summoned by the Commander-
in-Chiefc General Read, to Tiflis, which is nienoe,..
by the mountaineers. Ferhad Pasha (Stein) Ts
ceeds Kurshid Pasha (Guyon), and Ismael Fa%
takes the supreme command of the Anatolian aruii's
instead of Zarif Pasha. The Tunis contingent
said to consist of 2,500 men.

W TREATIES BETWEEN RUSSIA AND

KING OSCAR.

We have this morning received a communica-
tion which contains the' following :—" It is high
time that England and France at once extinguished
Russian usurpation in Finland, for facts show
that Sweden and Norway are fast becoming Rus-
sian vassals. At Bomarsund, fortifications were
going on which in a couple of years would
have rendered Sweden a mere Russian pro-
vince ; and in Norway we find Russian intrigues of
the most extraordinary character. Without again
referring to King Oscar's odious and unexampled
four-ship affair—an open Russiaa trick concocted
in Stockholm—l would direct your serious atten-
tion to the two new measures. One is the new
border-treaty between Russia and Norway, which
deprives the Norwegian Finmarkers of two-thirds
of their pasture grounds. The other is a new
mutual delivery-treaty between the Czar and
Oscar, which compels Norway-Sweden to deliver up
all refugees, fugitives, wanderers, settlers, &c., of
every kind, at the mere request of any servant of
the Emperor, and at the expense of Oscar's people.
Both these one-sided, dangerous, and ruinous
acts have been proposed to the Norwegian Parlia-
ment by King Oscar himself, and driven through
by the influence of the Administration, in spite of
the murmurs and warnings of the most intelligent
members. The reason assigned was that Norway
was too weak to resist. This is the policy, this is
the patriotism, this is the morality, of a man made
King at an enormous expense, that he may defend
the people over whom he rules. You will agree
with me that it is high time decisive steps were
taken if Scandinavia is to be saved."

SALE OF THE CAROLINA.

The Russian vessel Carolina, Ehlers late master, 285

PRUSSIA.

The Prussian Government sent off on the Bth
for Silesia M. do /vlanteuffel, Under• Secretary of
State, with very extensive powers, to make ar-
rangements for relieving the misery caused by the
late inundations. A committee of assistance has
been formed at Berlin for the province of Silesia,.
with the President of the Council at its head.

THE AUTOCRAT AND THE AUSTRIAN

CABINET.

A letter from Berlin of the 9th says :—" We are
assured from a good source that Russia has bad a
formal protest handed to the Cabinet of Vienna
against the occuprtion of the principalities by the
Austrian troops. It is evident that, in present
circumstances, that protest cannot have any prac-
tical effect. The King has renounced visiting the
court of Mecklenburg, and will be back on Sunday.
It is only after his return that he will come to a
decision on the question of his acceding to the in-
vitation for a personal interview sent him by the
Emperor of Russia. It becomes more and more
probable that Count Esterhazy will remain some
time at Berlin, in place of Count de Thun, ambas-
sador of Austria. At least, he has made all his
arrangements for remaining here, and he is bring-
ing all his family to Berlin."
A Vienna letter of the 9th says :—" Our Am-
bassador ad interim at Berlin, Count Esterhazy, is
expected here towards the middle of the month.
Count de Thun, who is here on leave, is to return
to Berlin. Gen. Lefang dined yesterday with the
Emperor. Good accounts have been received here
of the health of the Archduke Charles. He is now
entering on convalescence."

DISARMING OF THE WALLACHIAN
MILITIA.

The disarming of the Wallachian militia took
place at Busco on the 26th ult.; that of the Walla-
chian artillery at Ibraila. The men, having refused
to enrol in the Russian service, were allowed to
depart (half naked), and 180 have reached Bucha-
rest. Only two officers (Colonel Lens, a brave
Russian, and a lieutenant) obeyed the Russian
summons. The cannon were carried off. Letters
from Galatz come down to the 28th ult. Every
effort is made to clear off the immense stores accu-
mulated at that place. The hospitals had already
been removed into Bessarabia, and it was expected
that Galatz and Ibraila would be evacuated in 5 or
6 days. The reserve of Ludere corps stands near
Galatz—of which corps about 35,000 men, with 32
field-pieces, are on the Moldo-Wallachian territory,
and the main body in and around Ibraala. Luders and
staff were at Galatz, where also are 2 steamers and 2
gun-boats. The retreat of the Russians appears to
Fe delayed as long as possible, and is as slow as can
be, in order to remove all suspicion of retreating
before the enemy. The officers assemble to amuse
themselves, and the bands play for the diversion
of the public. It is said that 300 families intend
to follow the Russians from Ibraila, and 150 from
Galatz.

A ROMANCE OF REAL LIFE.—A Harwich correspon

the result of their intimacy was that a daughter was

St. John's, New Brunswick, where he carried on the
farming and grazing busine.A. He afterwards married
there, and had a family ; but his wife having died and
his family grown up, he thought of his old sweetheart,
and wrote to her, but not receiving any answer, the thought
of his former love induced him to plough once more the
stormy Atlantic after an absence of 24 years. Arrived
in Harwich, unknown, he procured a person to show

MAIL FOR THE BLACK SEA-THE GUN-
BOATS.

The following was put up at the gate of Woolwich
dock-yard yesterday
:
"Notice.—Letters for the Black Sea will be des-
patched by her Majesty's steam-vessel Lynx from Devon-
port on the 16th inst."

It is now certain from the above notice that three of
the screw steam despatch gun-boats arelintended for ser-
vice in the Black Sea—the Arrow, Lieutenant• Co-
mmander Jolliffe ; the Beagle, Lieutenant-Commander
lore ; and the Lynx, Lieutenant• Commander Luce,
under orders to leave Woolwich this morning for Green-
hithe, and then proceed to Devonport to take out a mail
from that port to the Black Sea. The only screw steam
despatch gun-boat sent to the Baltic up to the present
time is the Wrangler, Lieutenant-Commander Risk.
The Viper, Lieutenant-Commander Lodder, is in dock
at Woolwich preparing for sea, and the Snake is having
her engines put on board. As it will take some time to
complete the two latter despatch gun-boats for sea, and
the advanced period of the season would not allow
of their services being available for any length of time in
the Baltic this year, it is consequently expected that
they will also proceed, when ready, to the Black Sea,
and that the six new light draught of water gun-boats
will be sent with the fleet early in the ensuing spring to
the Baltic.

TRIAL OF THE COLOSSUS.
Colossus, 80, Captain Spencer Robinson, will go to
Spithead to day ; she will also take a few turns at the
measured mile to test her speed, with all her weights on
board.

COMPLIMENT TO FRANCE.
In compliment to France, and in testimony of the
firm alliance existing between the two countries, the
Admiralty has resolved to name one of the line•of•battle
ships about to be launched " La France."

THE SEAMEN IN THE BALTIC FLEET.
Nearly the whole of the seamen who entered for spe-
cial service in the Baltic fleet, with the right to claim
their discharge at the end of the present year, have
volunteered for continuous service.

SURVEY OF THE HANNIBAL.
There are no defects in the machinery of the Hannibal,
Commodore Grey, beyond the usual wear and tear to
which all metals under severe and constant friction are
subject. An official survey was made yesterday upon
the report of requirements from the engineering depart-
ment of the ship. Her engines have in every respect i
during her passage out, cruising ii the Baltic, and on
her return home acted most satisfactorily. She will
not be taken into the basin at Sheerness for being
decked until the latter end of next week. Some of
her officers have obtained leave of absence from the
commodore.
