APPOINTMENT.

Assistant-Surgeon—Andrew M‘lSiunn (1853), from the
Frolic, 16, on the Cape of Good Hope station, to the Al-
viers, 01, screw steam-ship at Sheerness.

TRIAL OF THE ROYAL ALBERT'S ENGINES.
SHEERNESS, SEPT. 11.

At six a.m. yesterday the fires were lighted up on board
the Royal Albert, to prove the boilers and jeints. All '
being very satisfactory, the fires were kept back, by order
of Mr. Rumble, the chief engineer, until the arrival of
Mr. Hartrie, the representative of Messrs. John Penn and
Son. At- ten a.m. the engines were started, and when
fully unix) their speed, made 51 revolutions per minute,
the load on the safety-valve being 201bs. on the square inch.
The engines were worked four hours and a half, giving the
greatest satisfaction to all parties present, as well as those
more intimately concerned. It is very gratifying to know
that there was not the least symptom of hot bearings,
and everything worked with the greatest ease and satis-
faction. The boilers gave an abundant supply of steam.
There was an excellent draft in the fire-places. The en•
gine-room and stoke-hole were moderately and unusually
cool—the engine-roem not exceeding 80 dog., and the
stoke-hole not more than 100 deg. From the day's trial
at moorings of this ship we may look forward to a high
speed being attained beyond all doubt, as the engines made
51 revolutions ou an average, and screw vessels generally
make about three-fourths of their revolutions at moorings ;
consequently there is but little doubt these engines will
make 60 revolutions on her trial, and with the present
pitch of screw, snaking a very liberal allowance for slip,
this stupendoui mass of wood and metals will be propelled
through the water (with a nominal power of 500-horse) at
the rate of 10?1 knots per hour. After sundry diagrams
bad been taken, and the expansion gear tried, to ascertain
how the future speed of the ship could be diminished by the
greatest economy of full, the trial of the engines of the mag-
nificent ship ended. She will no doubt echo the names of
John Penn and Son over the hills of far-famed Sebastopol.
Mr. Robert Hughes, assistant to the chief engineer from
the Surveyor of the Navy department-at Somerset-house,
was here yesterday on duty relating to the Algiers, steam
line-of-battle ship. The crew of the Algiers were engaged
during yesterday coaling from the Columbine floating coal
depot, which vessel was towed alongside her. She is also
receiving her lower-deck armament.
An order has been issued hero regulating the time of
persons visiting the Royal Albert and dockyard, in Order
to meet the arrivals of passengers by the steam-packets
from London vid the Thames and Medway. They are in
future to assemble at the yard-gate, at 9.30 a.m., and at 2
p.m., when they will be escorted through tho yard (with
permission to visit the Royal Albert) by the police. It is
gratifying to gate that every facility is given to visitors.
by the arrangements made by the Captain-Superintendent.
The number of visitors is immense daily, most of whom
only ask to visit the Royal Albert, as the great lion of the
day at this yard.

THE ALGIERS

Orders were received on Saturday morning by electric
telegraph, countermanding the orders for the Algiers being
docked, propera,tions for which wore making. She is
ordered round to Devonport, and lighters are engaged
shipping off her lower deck guns, carriages, &o. She will
leave on Wednesday next.

GREECE.

It is suspected that King Otho, not sufficiently
warned by the severe lesson he received in the
summer, is again contriving how to get up troubles
in Greece. It has been observed that ho ceases to
hold any communication with his Minister of the
Interior. The French Government keeps a wary
eye upon this silly monarch's proceedings.
London, England, 1854-09-12

THE NEW PENSION REGULATIONS.

The new pension regulations passed in 1833 came into
operation this year, and many of the old soldiers sent home
have been discharged on Bd. per day pension, instead of L.
per day, to which they were entitled under the prey: •us
pension warrant for similar periods of service. A non-
commissioned officer is now discharged on the same pension
as a private, unless he shall have been more than eight
years a corporal, or two years a corporal and three years a
sergeant. By the previous pension warrant, three years a
sergeant entitled him to a sergeant's pension of le. 10d.
per day. By the pension warrant of 1833, he must now
serve eight years as a corporal and one year as a sergeant,
to entitle him to a pension of Is. 10d. per day. A non-
commissioned officer is not allowed to reckon his good con-
duct badge towards his pension. Surely there must have
been some overnight in framing the warrant of 1833, as it
could not be seriously intended by the War-office that the
private, whose good conduct and other qualifications re-
commended him for promotion, should be a loser by the
step, as ho would be if discharged as a non-commissioned
officer. It is not too late to rectify this, it is supposed,
unexpected operation of the warrant, as an Order in Coun-
cil would have the effect of placing the non-commissioned
officers in a proper position wiih regard to their deserved
pensions.
London, England, 1854-09-12

CONSTANTINOPLE.

The Porte has just sold a vast quantity of old
bronze cannon to a firm at Constantinople. The
amount realised will be 200,000 piastres (about
40,000 f.) Some of the cannon, it is said, were
worthy of figuring in a museum. The greater part
were taken from the Corsairs of Barbary, but some
of them bear the arms of Louis XIV.

The Constantinople correspondent of the 30th
ult. says, independently of the Turkish division
which is to accompany the expedition, Marshal de
St. Arnaud had been informed by the Seraskier
that he might dispose of another corps of 20,000
men, then ready to proceed to whatever point he
thought proper to order them. A portion of the
army of Otner Paella will also be available the mo-
ment the Austrians have completed the occupation
of Wallachia. On the other hand, fresh reinforce-
ments were expected from France, so that at all
events the Allies will have a sufficient force to
achieve that important enterprise.

THE BALTIC.
VISIT OF ADMIRAL NAPIER TO NARGEN.
In our latest despatches received from the Baltic,
we find the following with respect to the Admiral's
trip :—" It is hardly to be expected that he has any
intention of establishing a naval station there
(Nargen, an island lying to the north of Revel),
for the winter, since, according to all accounts, the
anchorage there is yno means good. The inhabi-
tants and garrison have made up their minds to a
bombardment, but earnestly pray that an early
frost may interpose a barrier between them and
their foes ; they have been extremely effarouches
at our countrymen having set fire to the wood with
which the part of the island nearest the bay in
which the town stands is covered."
London, England, 1854-09-12

THE ROYAL FLOTILLA..

The cause of the lateness of the Malacca, Hornet, and
Salamander's arrival at Bolongue, when they accom-
panied Prince Albert to that place, is explained to-
day. The bearing of the Malacca's machinery got so
heated as to compel her to dispense with the use of
her engines, and she had to be taken in tow by the
Salamander for some hours. Subsequently, the Hor-
net's engines got disarranged, and she had also to
be taken in tow by the Salamander whilst the
repairs were effected. They, in consequence, did not ar-
rive at Boulogne till twenty-four hours after the yachts,
although they left six hours before them. These
beatings of the bearings of the machinery, and the
"slight" derangements of other parts, would be serious
matters on au enemy's coast. The Malacca was taken into
dock yesterday in order to have her screw, its aper-
ture, shaft, &c., examined, although she was iu dock for a
similar purpose only seven or eight days since.

THE RUSSIAN PRIZES.
Yesterday advice& were received that another Russian
prize, the Anna Maria, had passed Elsinore for England,
in charge of Prizemsster Bathurst. The Themis, also a
prize to her Majesty's cruisers in the Baltic, has passed
Elsinore for the port of London.
The High Marshal of the Court of Admiralty gave pub-
lic notice yesterday on the Royal Exchange that within
20 days from that date the ship Rapid, seized in the port
of Hull by her Majesty's officers of Customs, under simu-
lated papers, and of which Hansen was late the master,
would be condemned as a Crown droit, the same being the
property of the Queen's enemies.
The Russian prizes John and Industrie were sold by
public auction at Hull yesterday by the Admiralty broker.
They realised very good prices.

The Royal Sappers and Miners aro employed completing
the range of new field works opposite New Brompton, and
they will soon be finished.

Private Andrew Anderson, of the Royal Sappers and
Miners, who wne with the late Lieutenant Burke, Royal
Engineers, and bravely stood by him to the last, although
he could not save him from the Russians, is now out of all
danger from his wounds, and is employed as a confidential
orderly to Major George Bent, Royal Engineers, at Varna.
It is expected the Lieutenant-General of the Ordnance will
bestow somo substantial mark of special favoxr upon him
when he returns home, should nothing be done before that
time.

stacles to be overcome, the detluitive result cannot
be doubted."

THE PR I NCIPALITIES.

A letter from Bucharest of the 31st ult., in the
Lloyd of Vienna, says :—" Several gun boats of
the allied fleets iave taken up a position at the
mouth of the Salina. ; and it is said that some
troops have landed on that point to operate a di-
version whilst the Russians shall be attacked at
Ismail, where is assembled their principal force in
Bessarabia. Gun-boats are also stationed at the
mouth of the Kilia, and they are shortly to attack
Kilia."

The Wallachians continue to show every favour-
able disposition towards the Turkish cause. An
address has been made to Omer Pacha and signed
by a great number of the influential inhabitants
(nearly 400), requesting Omer Pacha to obtain the
permission of the Sultan for the Wallachian troops
to join the Turkish army, and be led byhim against
the Russians. They express their certainty that
both the officers and soldiers would enter with the
utmost zeal into the cause. •

The Austrians, in their proclamation, studi-
ously avoid anything which could give the
slightest offence to Russia. They ignore the pre-
sence of Omer Pacha, with 20,000 men, in Bu-
charest ; of Dervish Pasha, the Turkish Commis-
sioner ; and only make the slightest possible
allusion to the Sultan having anything whatever to
do with the arrangements in Wallachia ; but the
authorities are told in very plain terms to whom
they aro in fnture to address themselves for instruc-
tions. Omer Pacha is said to be much annoyed by
the arrangements which are being made, and at
the proclamation which has been issued. It is not
known here what the Turkish troops are to do, but
nobody expects that the two armies will remain at
the same time in Wallachia during the Winter. It

is not of much consequence if the Turks are obliged
to return to Rustchuk at present, as they could not
carry on operations much longer this year, and
they are as well in Turkey as Wallachia for winter
quarters, but in the spring the Austrian occupation
will surely not be considered as debarring the Otto-
man forces from a free passage through the Princi-
palities, should next year's operations require it, as
it is nearly certain they will, if war continues.

RAIL WA

IGENCZ %

INVERNESS-SHIRE.

The ceremony of turning the first sod for the Inverness
and Nairn Railway works will take place on Thursday,
the 21st inst. The Countess of Seafield was requested
to take the principal part in the ceremony—to inaugurate
railway works in the Highlands of Scotland—and at
once consented. We understand that the magistrates
and town council, the trades of Inverness, and other
corporate bodies, propose to oe present at the interesting
ceremony. The festivities of the Northern Meeting
take place on the same day: The ceremony will take
place in the immediate neighbourhood of the town, and
will be so arranged as not to interfere with the usual
sports and amusements of the first afternoon of the
Northern Meeting.
Several gentlemen belonging to Inverness, who have
taken a very active interest in the success of the Inver-
ness and Nairn Railway, have late;y vis!ted Morayshire
with the view of inciting that prosperous and enterprising
county to take initiative measures for extending the In-
verness and Nairn Railway at least as far as Elgin. The
distance is only about 20 miles, the country is level, and
should require no expensive cuttings or embankments ;
the proprietors are as liberal and publio-spirited as any
.in Scotland, and the pecuniary means and traffic of the
district are quite equal to the formation and support of
a suitable line of railway.
It has been resolved, we understand, to dispose of the
houses and lands belonging to the Crown at Fort Au-
rrnstus. They are not valuable,• but are expected to
realise about 3,oool.—lnverness Courier.

IRISH SOUTH-EASTERN.

The half-yearly meeting of this company was hell on
Saturday, at Dublin; Mr. Juhn Edward Redmond in
the chair.

The directors' report showed that the gross receipts
for the half-year ending June 30, 1854, amounted to
5,5581., and the corresponding period 011853 to 4,8081. ;
increase, 750/. The annual returns for the same date
were :—Year ending June 30,185j—passengers, 47,040 ;
total receipts, 5,9761. 1852—Passengers, 52,602 ; total
receipts, 8,4191. 1853—PasSengers, 60,850 ; total re-
ceipts, 9,853/. ISs4—Passengers, 71,064 ; total re-.
ceipts, 11,9341. The balance-sheet showed an available
surplus of 2,1941,, outof which the directors recommend
that a dividend be declared on the paid-up capital at the
rate of 2s. per share, and that the balance, after payment
of the same, amounting to about 3501., be carried to the
credit of the current half-year. The permanent wary and
wcrks continue in good order. The bill for Bagnalstown
and Wexford Railway has received the Royal assent,
and, in pursuance of its provisions, the present meeting
was made special, to enable this company to subscribe to
and hold shares in the undertaking to au amount not
exceeding the sum of 50,0001.
After sonic discussion, the report was adopted, and
the meeting separated.

In fact, there was nothing, we are assured, on the day
alluded to, but the usual private dinner. No toasts
of any kind were proposed, no speeches were made
by any one, nor was there any such demonstration so
has been described,—Diornitt9 Vitviviaos

THE DOCKYARD BATTALION.

Between the number of men allowed in the early part of
the year to volunteer from the depots of the provisional
battalion at Chatham for service with other regiments in
Turkey, and the different drafts sent to India, the provi-
sional battalion has been left a mere skeleton compared
with the strength it usually mustered, especially as no re-
cruits have joined the battalion lately, the parties engaged
on that duty being employed in raising men for the regi-
ments now at the seat of war in the east.

HAYMARKET T HEATRE.

-..-
Senora Perea Nena, who has been delighting that
portion of the inhabitants of the metropolis who confe!A
to being in town, has been fortunate in having so skil-
ful a coadjutor, both as dancer and ballet-master, 83
Senor Ruiz. Two new divertissements Lave been pro-
duced under his direction within the last few clays,
which combine at once simplicity in action and elahop,'
tion in scenery and dresses ; while the rapid succession
of national (that is " stage national") Spaniz,h dances
scarcely gives a chance for the applause which every
A
spectator is panting to bestow on the spirited and
graceful efforts of Nena and her well-drilled corps de
ballet. The very male dancers are positively endurable
for once, probably because they keep their eyes steadily
on Senor Ruiz, who.is himself far less of a foil to 1115
fair partner than most of his contemporaries in the
ballet world. It hardly needs to tell of the Jaccra end,
Calesera, Paterna, Guaracha, Zambra, and so on, al'
graceful and vigorous dancers of the same genus. Th°,.
two ballets are highly successful, and not the least of
their merits is that they are exactly of the length whilels
causes every one to be sorry that they are over when t .43
curtain drops. It is not every one who has the tact to
leave off being pleasant at the right moment. Senora
Perea Nena and Senor Ruiz have caught that art.

ADDRESS TO OMER PACHA.

The young men of Wallachia had presented a
complimentary address to Omer Pacha, couched in
very flowery language. Omer Pacha returned the
following reply :—" I thank you, in the name of
his Majesty the Padischah, our august master, for
the assurances that you have given him of the fide-
lity and attachment of the inhabitants of Roumelia
to the throne of their legitimate sovereign. His Im-
perial Majesty will be delighted to see justified the
confidence which he has al waysplaced in that people,
and his paternal solicitude will not cease to be ex-
tended overthe country, and to labour for the happi-
ness of its inhabitants. As regards me personally, I
thank you for the confidence with which you have
received me. I will only remark to you that it is
not the first time I have visited your town, and
that I have never doubted of the fidelity and at-
tachment of the Wallachian nation. I will accord-
ingly hasten and deposit at the foot of the Sultan',
throne the expression of your loyal sentiments.
The sympathy which you state you feel for the
troops placed under my command is understood
and appreciated by them, and they will know how
to render themselves worthy of it by their conduct
and discipline. I will do all that is in my power
to advance the happiness of your brave and faith-
ful nation."

RUSSIA.

Letters from St. Petersburg show that, although
the capital was beginning to resume its usual ap-
pearance at the fall of autumn by the return of the
upper circles from their summer excursions, an ex-
cessive depression is being felt in trade, which is
producing an acrimonious feeling throughout the
population. The Government finds itself not only
deprived of its most productive resource in the
Customs' receipts of the Baltic ports, but is com-
pelled already to contrive measures for the relief of
single towns, and will soon have to extend its soli-
citude to entire provinces. The goods which
have entered Russia by the Prussian frontier have
even produced less than the same quantities of
goods would have produced at other times, seeing
that Russia, in her embarrassment at the scarcity
and high price of sugar and colonial wares, had
been obliged to reduce the duties to the amount
at which she had many years ago in a treaty
with Prussia engaged to fix them, but had as
usual broken the stipulations. For the present
Finland is described as being animated by a very
martial spirit and bearing the disasters of the
war very well, but it may be looked forward to
that when, in addition to the severities of winter,
the demands for the payment of taxes (whether in
the shape of voluntary patriotic contributions or
otherwise) come to be made, the people will have
little more to offer the Government than the raw
produce of their land ; for as the rich landowners
and tradespeople cannot dispose of their hemp,
flax, skins, and tar, there is neither employment
for the lower classes nor money in circulation.
The belief has gained general currency that the
summoning of the Fins lately to the military de-
fence of the country was a breach of an engage-
ment made with them by the Emperor .Alexander,

to the effect that Finland should be relieved from
military service for 50 years, dating from 1809.
Despatches received in the capital mention a
hostile squadron off Revel, August 21. On the
18th and 19th of August a cannonade was heard at
Solsburg in N. W. direction. From same place
(20th) an enemy's liner in sight, fast on a sand-
bank. From lielsingfors and Sweaborg (22d)
cruisers of the enemy exchanged shots with Rus-
sian steamers without further results.

DRURY-LANE ThEATRE.

This theatre re-opened last night " under entire nog
direction," for a short operatic season of three weeks.
Wallace's pretty opera Maritana was the work selected
for the occasion ; arid considering that the arrange-
inents bear evident traces of having been made in haste,
the performance was as good as could be hoped. Ale
ltu,tersdoiff, who made a highly favourable impression
during the early part of the season, gained fresh laurels
by her last night's admirable performance of Marita,na.
This lady is an artiste of very considirabie merit--11er
singing is earnest, impassioned, and full of intention.
She was throughout greeted with the warmest apPlau°'
and vehemently encored in the ballad " Scenes that are
brightest," which she sang with great pathos and a'
pression. Mr. El,iott Galer was the Don car d:
Rtzan, and although scarcely possessing
power for so large a theatre, his performance was on
whole highly creditable, and indicative of progress. 1:116
remaining parts were but indifferently haled.
1-11,6
orchestra, although not very numerous, is thoroughly
efficient, and a word of praise is due to the gentlen'A .
(premier violon) who played the obligate .accomPauill
merit to the air " The mariner in his barque."
The evening terminated with a ballet, " L'lsl° deg
Nympbes." sufficie.hn.

THE BALTIC.

VISIT OF ADMIRAL NAPIER TO NARGEN.
la. our latest despatches received from the Baltic,
we find the following with respect to the Admiral's
trip :—" It is hardly to be expected that he has any
intention of establishing a naval station there
(Nargen, an island lying to the north of Revel),
for the winter, since, according to all accounts, the
anchorage there is by no means good. The inhabi-
tants and garrison have made up their minds to a
bombardment, but earnestly pray that an early
frost may interpose a barrier between them and
their foes ; they have been extremely effarouches
at our countrymen having set fire to the wood with
which the part of the island nearest the bay in
which the town stands is covered."

a public-house. Elphick and Fenn said they were going
to be married, and they promised to find nee a home
if anything happened.
Subsequently to these transactions, in the absence of
Mr. Sugden and family, Elphick came home in a state
of intoxication, with a loaded pistol, which be dis-
charged at the complainant, and struck her in the
neck, and she fell down ; but, upon her getting up
again, she went to Mr. Farrington's, who found her
neck bleeding, and applied something to it.
The Hon. and Rev. Arthur Sugden (in whose ser-
vice two of the prisoners are) deposed that on the 13th
August the family retired to rest between half-past
nine and ten, it being intimated to the servants th•it
they could go to bed too. The Rev. Mr. Pigott slept
at the rectory that night, in a room adjoining that occu-
pied by the prosecutrix, and not inure than eight
feet from where she was actually lying. He should
think that if there had been anything wrong, Mr.
Pigitt must have heard it. Suspecting on the 21st
August something was going on wrong, witness
went up stairs, when he heard a struggling and
a voice say, " Let me alone, George." Some one
opened the door, but it was immediately closed, and the
struggling recommenced. Witness was about to open
the door, when the prisoner Maria Fenn came out, hay-
ing • her hair dishevelled. He at once called her and
Elphick into a room, and, after animadverting on their
conduct, gave the latter notice to leave. Maria Fenn
gave witness notice.
After hearing some other evidence, and Mr. Sadler for
the prisoner Elton,
The Chairman said that, after a patient investigation,
the bench had come to the determination of committing
the whole of the prisoners for trial.
The prisoners were then committed for trial at the
spring assizes, and the various witnesses were bound
over to prosecute. George Elton was admitted to bail
in two sureties of 250/. each.
