Ordnance at the Tower of London; several hundreds
extra gunsmiths have been taken on for the manufaature
of rifles, muskets, &c. .

• Yesterday afternoon a quantity of stores of every de-
. scriptiou, warm clothing, &c., were forwarded from the
Tower to Wool wich to be put on board the steam trans-
ports Holyrood and Manilla, for conveyance to the
East; as also quantities of canteens and other necessaries
required by troops on field service, which were for-
warded to Portsmouth for the use of the detachments to
embark there this day.
The Norman and John Ewes, screw steamers,
aboat 500 tons burden each, belonging to Southampton,
have been taken up by the Government to convey out
stores to the Black Sea. About 2,000 tons of stores
fir the Crimea aro to be despatched from Southampton.
Some of these stores will consist of the wooden houses
intended for winter quarters for the British army in the
Crimea.

It must be gratifying to the public to learn that two
waggons, each containing twelve miles of telegraphic
wire covered with gutty perch 7, and with ploughs and
the necessary arrangements for laying down the wires,
were put on board the Prince screw steam transport-
ship, at the Royal Arsenal, previous to her proceeding
to Gi.eenhithep embark the 46th Regiment, and there
can be no donut the valuable invention is now in full
operation to prevent surprises, or to be made available
fir conrentrating the British and French troops in any
required locality to check the Russian forces in any future
attacks on the pceiition of the Allies.
Owing to a report received from Lord Raglan, Master-
Ceaeral of the Ordnance, cemplaining -that the tools
which have ',wen sent out to the East for the use of the
Sappers and Miners have been found unfit for the pur-
poses required, Major Ord, R.E , with a selected num-
ber of nun-commissioned officers of the Royal Sappers,
has been to the Tower of London and had an interview
with Mr. Stacey, the principal storekeeper. They
examined all the engineer field equipments in store, and
they are to report on their state. Major Ord has orders
to suggest any improvement he and his non-commis-
sioned officers may think necessary. It is expected that
a large number of new tools will have to be made upon
a plan to be submitted.

THE WAR.
RETREAT OF THE RUSSIAN ARMY.

The Vienna P resse of last night has the following
• news from Bucharest of the 27th :—" The Russian
army at Fntteschti is in full rel rent upon Bucharest,
pursued by Omer Pacha. Official information is
wanting."
BELGRADE, JULY 29.—1 t becomes more and
more difficult to account for the strategy of the
Russian army, or to comprehend the contra-
dictory and confused movements of the Russian
Generals. Yesterday it was announced from Bu-
charest that Prince Gortschakoff had received
orders to eject the Turks from the other side of the
Danube, cost what it might. To-day a despatch
emanating from the same quarter announces that
the aide-de-camp of the Emperor Nicholas, Count
Adlerberg, had just arrived, and was supposed to
be the bearer of the order that the Russians should
again fall back upon the Pruth.
London, England, 1854-08-01

FEELING IN GERMANY WITH REGARD

TO THE WAR. --
We receive the following in a letter from Ko-
nigsberg, of July 26 :—The sentiments of the
citizens and the leading merchants become daily
more hostile to Russia, and upon every occasion
manifest themselves in the most open manner. In
the maritime provinces of Prussia as much interest
is felt for the success of the allied fleets and army
as at Paris and in London. The humiliation of
Russia is a source of satisfaction which is truly na-
tional, and great joy is felt at the approach of the
time when Germany will have a share in the claims
which France and England possess upon the grati-
tude of Europe.

COUNCIL OF RUSSIAN GENERALS.
A communication from Bucharest, of the 26th
July, says :—General Liprandi has protested
against any diminution of his corps, which is barely
able to meet the expected attack of the Turks.
..4eneral Budberg has called the Russian general
officers together to consult respecting the best
course to be taken, and it is believed that a second
retreat will take place. The greatest uncertainty
prevails, and all sorts of rumours are in circulation.

THE WHITE SEA.
The Invalide Busse announces, under the head-
ing of •` News from the White Sea," that the
blockading squadron had abandoned the northern
mouth of the Dwina ; whereupon the crews of the
Russian gun-boats removed all the buoys and other
signals which the French and English had laid
down. On the 6th instant two bombs were thrown
at the town of Suzma, one of which set fire to a
cottage.

MEETING OF GERMAN MONARCHS AT
MUNICH.

MUNICH, JULY 28.—The King of Prussia ar-
rived yesterday evening at the Chateau of Nytn-
phewbourg. The Kin, of Wurtemburg is expected
to return to-day to bMunich, where the King of
Saxony and the Regent of Ba are also expected
in a few days.

This meeting is considered as an attempt on the
part of his Prussian 'AlajestY to place himself at
the head of a league of the States.whiah some weeks
ago formed the Conference at Banberg.
A despatch, dated Vienna last night, says :
It is not probable that the Vienna Conference will
meet to draw up another protocol, as Russia is said
to have still 15 or 20 days to resolve on quitting
or retaining possession of the Principalities.
It is supposed that the King and Queen of
Prussia have to-day reached Ischl, where the Em-
peror of Austria now is.

DEATH OF CAPTAIN DICKINSON.

The unexpected death of Captain Dickinson, so well
knows in connection with the Thetis, was reported last
evening. Re died suddenly on Sunday night at Green-
wich. Within the last week, Admiral Walcott brought
his claim to a salvage of 600,000 dollars before the House
of Commons. His name will, therefore, be fresh in the
recollection of our readers. Poor Dickinson has died—
like many more—a disappointed man. His services were
of a remarkable character. Hampshire by birth, he en-
tered the navy in 1796 as a third-class boy, and was at the
taking of St. Lucia and Trindidad. He next served in the
Dreadnought. At the battle of Trafalgar lie served under
Collingwood, who was so pleased with his conduct, that
he was the first officer whom he promoted to the rank
of lieutenant. He subsequently served in other affairs,

CHOLERA ON BOARD THE LORD AUCKLAND
IN THE CHANNEL.
PLYMOUTH, July 31.—The teak-built barque Lord
Auckland, Captain S. Kinley, which left Gravesend on
Friday, the 21st inst., with depots of the 10th, 24th,
60th Rifles, and 87th Regiments, bound to Kurrachee,
East Indies, returned to this port this afternoon, having
on board several cases of cholera. Three deaths have
taken place. A private of the 24th Regiment died on
the Monday after leaving, after only eight hours' illness.
The next death was on the 24th, when a private of the
87th died, and another private of the same regiment died
on the following Friday. There being several sick on
board, it was deemed advisable to beat up for Plymouth
on Friday evening. The ship, when put about, was
about 200 miles off the Lizard. On her arrival here
there were 27 under medical treatment-23 soldiers
and 4 of the crew, and of that number five are now
dreadfully ill.
The number of troops on board is 188. They are
under the command of Lieutenant Stewart, of the 24th
Regiment. The Lord Auckland is an old ship, and the
breaking out of the cholera on board is attributed to bad
ventilation.

The head-quarter division of the 35th Foot under
command of Lieut.-Colonel Edward H. Hutchinson,
from Chatham, embarked yesterday at Gravesend, on
board the Monarch, for Calcutta. The officers are
Lieuteant-Colonel Hutchinson ; Captains English, Price,
Tisdall, Elkington, Goate ; Lieutenants Massey and
Lee ; Ensigns Lloyd, Revell, Ansel!, Hughes ; Adju-
tant William F. G. Forster, Quartermaster Michael
M`Laughlin, and Surgeon J. W. Chambers. The 35th
leaves one company behind as a depot, and which joins
the provisional battalion in command of Captain H. S.
Bowman.

THE FEZ DJEHA.D.

Yesterday morning, Suliman Pacha, Commander-in-
Chief of the Egyptian army, Kharreddin Pacha, Minis-
ter of Commerce of the same country, and Mr. Larkins,
the London agent of the Viceroy of Egypt, proceeded
to London, leaving the eldest son (El Ilami Pacha) of
the late acha of Egypt on board his yacht, the Fez
Djehad. El Hami Pacha remains in the strictest seclu-
sion, displaying the deepest grief at the death of his
father. It is understood that the object of this young
prince (who is but 18 years of age) in visiting England,
and thence extending his journey to France, was to
purchase a variety of presents for the daughter of
of the Sultan of Turkey, to whom he was shortly to be
married. The death of his father, which he did not know
till his arrival in England, has, however, entirely dis-
turbed his arrangementst and he now, we believe, pur-
poses to return to Egypt as soon as the Fez Djehad has
been docked at Portsmouth, for doing which there was no
accommodation at Southampton.

COMMON LAW PROCEDURE BILL.

The committee on this ,bill was then resumed, com-

The i:emaining clauses were agreed to, and the house
resumed.

BILLS OF EXCHANGE (No. 2) BILL.
On the motion for, going into committee on this bill,
Mr. (BEACH said this bill involved a very important
principe ; it purpoaed to assimulate the law of
England with regard to bills of exchange with that of
Scotland, and if it passed, a party registering a bill of
exe:ianze would be enabled to obtain an immediate
judgment against the acc-ptor in the event of the bill
being dishonoured. The trailing system of Scotland
was so widely different to what it was in England,
that the two laws could not be assimilated with
safety ; fur instance, in Scotland, it was the in-
variable rule to make bills of exchange payable
at local bankers, who retained possession of them with-
out putting them in circulation ; but in Eogland the
practice was different, because it was the rule and not
the exception to make bills payable at some banking
house in London, whose hands it did not reach
until it bad been in extensive circulation. Little
difficulty was experienced in Scotland in renewing bills
of exchange, but without the breathing time which the
existing English system allowed, but which this bill
would abolis. i traders having dishonoured bills of exchange
running might be sullenly driven into bankruptcy, al-
though with aslight indulgence their estate might be made

ci mid not. take up a dishonoured accceptance within 6 days
after the dishonour, would be liable to have judgment
taken against them, and since it would largely increase
the creditor interest where it was not wanted, he must
move that the bill be committed this day three months,
with a view to an inquiry being had before so great a
change was made in time law.

On the 'notion for rea•iing this bill a second' time,
Mr. MAGUIRE objected to taking the bill at such an
hour of the morning (two o'clock). The bill involved
an insult and ,n outrage to Ireland.
Sir J. YOUNG said the bill was directed against Ribbon
and secret societies in Ireland, which it was most desirable
to suppress. The right hon. gentleman then referred to
the condition of the counties of Armagh and Monaghan
during the last few years, where `• Ribbon notices," as
also open-day murders, had taken place, the victim having
been previously tried and convicted by those secret mid-
night tribunals. The bill made provision for licensing the
possession of aims, which would not be refused to any but
those of bad character. (Hear.)
Mr. MICHELL referred to the murder of Mr. BateSoll,
who informed him that he had received no less than 38
Ribbon notices.

Mr. HUME moved the adjournment of the house.
(Spoke, spoke.)
Mr. FOX moved, as an amendment, that the bill be read
a second time that day three months. (Hear, hear.)
Mr. MAGUIRE denounced the Ribbon system, and
contended that all Ireland should nut be censured because
of the bad passions of some few misguided wretches.
After a few words from Mr. V. SCULLY against tke bill,
Mr. MACARTNEY as mred the house that these crimes
did hot originate with the Protestants of the North of
Ireland.

MONTENEGRO.

The Austrian Correspondence of Vienna of the
27th says :—" Tranquillity is completely re-estab-
lished in Montenegro. The houses of the fugitive
insurgents of Nielopovlievich have been burned
down ; their property also has been confiscated,
and part of it has been distributed among the Mon-
tenegrins. ' The revolt it is now certain was prin-
cipally caused by the dismissal of the Pope Bosco-
vich, and that of a Senator, and by the unbecoming
conduct of the prince at the Whitsun Feast. It is
not believed that the discontent has been com-
pletely appeased, and it may produce serious con-
sequences. The refugees who have arrived on the
Turkish territory are about 30 in number; they
have been well received.

MAGAZINii; DAY.

Blackwood.—The principal attraction of the
August number of Blackwood, to our thinking, is
the gossipping letter to " Dear Ebony," written
from Madrid, by Vedette. This communication is
evidently more authentic than many a communica-
tion dated from one foreign capital or another by
that übiquitous gentleman " Our Own Corres-
pondent." A:- personage, by the way, this last-
mentioned individual, who may frequently write
from a first floor in Bloomsbury, or from the cool
recesses of a Temple chamber, as an eye-witness of
events then taking place at Vienna or St. Peters-
burg. But this merely en, passant. Vedette is
evidently a veritable sojourner in the city, of the
occurrences taking place in which he is the ani-
mated narrator. His present missive contains an
account of the recent military insurrection—the
rising of the now famous 28th of June—the won-
derful movement by means of which General
Leopold O'Donnell has carried a rival to supreme
authority by means of the cards adroitly, or
maladroitly, played by him into the bands of the
Duke of Victory, Espartero. The writer of this
entertaining and timely article on the new Spanish
Revolution is obviously one well acquainted with
the internal politics of the Peninsula. He evi-
dences this, not only by his strictures on the
Madrid journals from the orrans of the Moderados,
such as the Epoca and the Diaro Espanol, or from
the organs of the Progressistas, such as the Nation I ,
and the Clamor Publico, down to the hireling
Heraldo, the mouthpiece of whoever is uppermost,
and as such the organ of the detested Sartorius
Government. Not only does Vedette show his
acquaintance with Spanish politics through his
evident familiarity with the character of the
Madrid newspapers, but still more plainly by his
obvious personal cognisance of the different per-
sons whose names and now becoming " familiar in
our mouths as household words," in consequence
of this astounding insurrection. Here is a sketch
of the distinguished officer who first gave the signal
for the Revolution :

the strong "team" which England can now produce,
and commenced the match yesterday at Lord's. The
weather was very unpropitious, heavy showers at inter-
vals stopping the play. The innings of John Lillywhite
was the finest one played upon this ground during th•
season, and frequently elicited loud applause from the
numerous spectators present. The match as it is surds

THE DANUBE.

A letter from Rustchuk, Bth, in a Vienna jour-
nal, states that 60,000 Russians had concentrated
themselves on the right bank of the Pruth, near
Galatz, under the command of General Luders.
Their object is to protect the Russian flotilla on
the Danube, which would be destroyed if Galatz
were to be evacuated. General Gort,chakoff has
transferred his head-quarters to Fokschany. He
was to arrive at Jassy on the 12th, and would soon
after proceed into Bessarabia.

CONSTAN TINOPLE.
Tho Vienna Gazette has the following from Zara,
13th ult.:—" A disturbance took place at Scutari,
on the Bth, on the occasion of the exportation of
some corn. The Turkish population went in arms
to the residence of Osman Pacha and demanded
that he should prohibit the export of corn, sup-
press certain taxes, and dismiss several communal
councillors. As the Pacha refused to comply, the
mob went through the streets and set fire to and
destroyed the warehouses of several merchants.
In the evening order appeared to have been re-
established."

GREAT SOUTHERN AND WESTERN.

-----
The report to be submitted at the next half-yearly
meeting of this company phows that the working ex-
penses for the last six months amount to 59,528/., ex-
ceeding those of the corresponding period of the. year
1853 by 10,3601. The increase is attributable to the
very great advance in the price of every article required
for the working and maintaining of railways. The net
surplus revenue of the half-year is 51,047/., and the di-
rectors recommend that out of this sum a dividend be
paid at the rate of 4 per cent, per annum, free of income
tax. The claims for compensation arising out of the
accident at Straffan on the sth of October last, might
now be considered as all settled. They will not exceed
:27,000/., including costa. The branch line from Port-
arlington to Tullamore is nearly completed, and will be
opened for public traffic next month.
