THE MAGAZINES.

United Service.—The United Service commences
with a memoir of the late Marquis of Anglesey
with a portrait. Two papers on " Our Naval Ar-
maments" and " The War in the East," both re-
commend an effectual increase of troops and fleets.
In the former it is observed that the officers sent
to the Tyne and Wear to persuade men to enter
her Majesty's service, have found that sailors
accustomed to the merchant service have a horror of
a mau-of-war. They have exaggerated ideas of the
despotic rule and rigid disciplie, and are appalled
at the thought of being shot to death. This, the
writer asserts, is from the want of a military edu-
cation, as the same men. thinnothing of the perils
of the sea. He therefore suggests that measures
should be taken to overcome
thisbe aversion,enteed
ionrlatlti.gaet
royal naval apprentices should
numbers, or men engaged for ten or fifteen years
with a certainty of pension on discharge. The
first chapter of " Excursions in the Interior of
Russia" gives some information respecting the do-
mestic manners, &c., of the inhabitants. The ex-
tracts from the " Journal of the late Major Ma-
cready" are continued. " A Ramble in the Islands
of the i-Egean" has many interesting details,
which at this time are doubly attractive, as
showing the character of the Greeks. Among
their singular customs is the following. " When
a Greek dies he is interred for a year in a small
cemetery, often within the precincts of the church.
Unless, however, ho is a very great man he is not
suffered to sleep in peace. At the end of that
time he is disinterred to make room for some one
else ; and the flesh having by this time turned to
dust, his bones are collected by his family, tied in
a bundle of coarse cloth, and hung up outside the
church ; masses are said or sung over them for a
few days, and then they are flung with forgotten
generations into a common charnel house. We
went to see it. It was a pit holding thirty feet of
the remains of the rude forefathers of the hamlet
—a useful sight, a stern lesson." A topographical
sketch of Russia gives some useful geographical
information. There is a very interesting article
on Scandinavia, and the belligerent Powers. At
the present crisis we would especially direct atten-
tion to some pointed remarks on coast defences,
suggested by a very sensible letter from Mr. Philip
H. Howard, of Corby Castle, on that national sub-
ject, from which we shall make an extract in a day
or two.
London, England, 1854-06-05

AUSTRIAN TROOPS IN TURKEY.

The following despatch, which is official, shows
that Austria has succeeded in obtaining a footing
for her army on Turkish ground. It is understood
that a special treaty concluded between Austria
and the Porte, with the assent of France and Eng-
land, authorises the expedition : °
" CONSTANTINOPLE, May 25.—Orders have been
transmitted to the Turkish authorities in Albania
to receive (accueillir) the troops which Austria is
about to send thither.

" The Porte will forego further proceedings
against Greece."

THE AUSTRIAN ULTIMATUM.

The note, recently forwarded by the Austrian
Government to St. Petersburg, requires that
Russia shall fix a date for the evacuation of the
Principalities ; and, in case of a refusal, Austria is
prepared to move a force, not far short of 300,000
men, upon the Danube.
London, England, 1854-06-05

GREECE.

ATHENS, May 28.—The new Cabinet has recalled
the insurgent chiefs f it will remodel the Court,
uismiss all public functionaries who may have been
,compromised, and require that Athens shall not
be occupied. Mavrocordato,is expected. Athens
remains tranquil. The population is opposed to
Russia. The monks of Mount Athos have repulsed
the insurgents.
On the 26th ult., the King invited the Ministers
9f England and Fiance to wait on him. His Hel-
lenic Majesty received the. two Envoys in the
Throne-room, and spoke,' to them in the following
terms
I declare that I will faithfully observe a strict neu-
trality towards Turkey ; that I will without delay take
`.all the necessary measures to effect it, and that for this
Object, I will call to my councils new Ministers, who by
their character and their intelligence, are the best cal-
elilated to carry this engagement of mine into execu-
tion.
kr. Wyse, as the senior Minister, replied—
" Sire,—We shall hasten to report to our Govern.
41ents the words which your Majesty has just addressed
t 5 Us, and we doubt not that by giving your support to
the new Councillors, whom your Majesty has deigned to
e4ll to your aid, we shall no longer have to trans-
mit to our Courts any information but what will be very
satisfactory as regards Greece."

main unpaid after the period for making voluntary
contributions has expired.

A NEWSPAPER PIRATE.

In the second edition of the Daily News of Friday
were printed exclusively some despatches from the Bal-
tic, bearing date three days later than those of Admiral
Napier. They .contained an account of the bombard-
ment of Hango, and of the brilliant expedition to Eck-
ness. These despatches were reprinted word for word
in the columns of the Times of Saturday, with the head-
ing "From the Shipping Gazette." The attempt to de-
prive the Daily ACWS of the merit of being the first to
publish this interesting news is as obviously unfair as it
is certainly dishonest. The Times knew to what paper
the first publication of the news was due, and common
courtesy,, not to mention any higher motive, ought to
have dictated an acknowledgment of the authorship of
the informat►on. The columns of the Daily News are
so often laid under contribution by the pirates of the
press, that *it would be absurd to complain of an ordi-
nary robbery. For years past we have constantly seen
in the Times and other papers articles quoted "Globe,"
which the Globe has previously appropriated, without
acknowledgment, from the Daily News. Of these past
piracies we have never before spoken. But in the pre-
sent case the theft of our exclusive news from Sir Charles
Napier's fleet, is so extensive and so flagrant, and the at-
tempt to conceal the piracy so barefaced, that public
justice requires us to direct attention to the fact.— -Daily

Pregnable by the erection of ad.!itional heavy batteries,

covering those waters, filled the whole breadth of the
Annnel with massive piles and huge blocks of granite,

under the range of their stupendous batteries. Yet I
think as soon as the French contingent join we shall
move On, and you may expect to hear soon of an attack
.upon Revel or Sweaburg. The latter place is very
strong, being a series of detached fortsion five islands
.*--these islands form a small and secure harbour, where
all the men of war are moored. There is plenty of
water for any of our ships to approach these forts, but

AUSTRIAN TROOPS IN TURKEY.

The following despatch, which is official, shows
that Austria has succeeded in obtaining a footing
for her army on Turkish ground. It is understood
that a special treaty concluded between Austria
and the Porte, with the assent of France and Eng-
land, authorises the expedition,:—
" C9NSTANTINOPLE, May 25.—Orders have been
transmitted to the Turkish authorities in Albania
to receive (accueillir) the troops which Austria is
about to send thither.

" The Porte will forego further proceedings
against Greece."

THE AUSTRIAN ULTIMATUM.
The note, recently forwarded by the Austrian
Government to St. Petersburg, requires that
Russia shall fix a date for the evacuation of the
Principalities ; and, iu case of a refusal, Austria is
prepared to move a force, not far short of 300,000
men, upon the Danube.

ST. PETERSBURG.

MISERABLE ATTEMPT OF THE CZAR TO
• ROUSE THE ENTHUSIASM OF HIS

PEOPLE. _
We read in the Paris papers that the Emperor
ej Nicholas is about to bestow invulnerability on
111 a chiefs with figure heads of saints. Under
Admiral Sir Alexander Nevsky and Admiral his
own namesake, not the wicked one, his squadrons
1341' at least venture from behind the batteries of
Sebastopol and Sveaborg.
The autocratic journals (says the Presse) make a
great noise about the devotedness of a certain
bas
Sievers, a Chamberlain of his Majesty, who
as placed his yacht, the Wiborg, himself, and the
°few' at the disposal of the Grand Duke Con-
stantine, during the continuance of, the war.
91e Emperor Nicholas is said to have autho-
sed the said Count to wear the uniform of the
Yacht Club of. St. Petersburg, and named
him chief of the Finland flotilla, under the
weerior command of Vice-Admiral Jepahtchin.
may observe en passant that the Wi-
borg is nothing. more than a wretched little
steamer, of 20 horse-power, running during the
summer, between Wiborg and Helsingtors, and
only carrying a crew of six men. At the same time
that every exertion is being made to complete the
equipment of the Baltic fleet, nothing is neglected
which can tend to excite the religious enthusiasm
of the crews. In an enthusiastic order of the day,
Admiral Ricord makes known that M. Murascheff,
the burgomaster of Cronstadt, has just offered, in
the
name of the bourgeoisie of that place, to the
Grand Duke Constantine a magnificent image of
St. Nicholas, the worker of miracles, to be placed
at the Prow of the admiral's vessels. The Empress
has also sent to General Dach, Military Governor-
General of Cronstadt, four images representing St.
Alexander Nevsky, St. Nicholas, St. Peter, and
St. Paul, to be given to the garrisons of the forts
Alexander, the First, Kronslott, Peter the First,
and Paul the First—all of which Russian Empe-
rors and saints' namesakes are to be under the spe-
al protection of Heaven, so far as the forts and
chips named after them are concerned !

.XTRAORDINARY PRECAUTIONS AT ST.

PETERSBURG.

A. letter from St. Petersburg of the 21st ult.,
In the Press of Vienna, says :—" All measures ne-
cessitated by a long and energetic war are being
taken here; Both sides of the mouth of the Neva
~,are being protected . with strong defensive works.
Yesterday there appeared an order of the Minister
,cf Police, preScribing what the inhabitants of St.
?etersburg are to do in the event of siege, or
rather a blockade of that city. If Cronstadt should
fall into -the power of the allied fleets, women,
children, and old men are immediately to leave the
,capital. The troops are to be removed from the
aeuses, the streets are to be unpaved, and the bells
of the holy churches and the images of the saints
are to be removed to Moscow. Notwithstanding
all these precautions, the order expresses the as-
surance that the enemy's fleet will perish on the
rocks, and under the cannon of Cronstadt."

THE MAGAZINES.

United Service.—The United Service commences
with a memoir of the late Marquis of Anglesey
with a portrait. Two papers on " Our Naval Ar-
maments" and. " The War iu the East," both re-
commend an effectual increase of troops and fleets.
In the former it is observed that the officors sent
to the Tyne and Wear to persuade men to+ enter
her Majesty's service, have found that sailors
accustomed to the merchant service have a horror of
acman-of-war. They have exaggerated ideas of the
despotic rule and rigid discipline, and are, appalled
at the thought of being shot to death. This, Ithe
writer asserts, is from the want of a military edu-
cation, as the same men think nothing of the per iljt
of the sea. He therefore suggests that measures
should be taken to overcome this aversion, or that
royal naval apprentices should be entered in large
numbers, or men engaged for ten or fifteen years
with a certainty of pension on discharge. The
first chapter of " Excursions in the Interior of
Russia" gives some information respecting the do-
mestic manners, &c., of the inhabitants. The ex-
tracts from the " Journal of the late Major Ma-
cready" are continued. ",,A Ramble in the Islamds
of the lEgean" has many interesting details,
which at this time are doubly attractive, ats
showing the character of the Greeks. Amontl
their singular customs is the following. " When
a Greek dies he is interred for a year in a small
cemetery, often within the precincts of the church.
Unless, however, he is a very great man he is not
suffered to sleep in peace. At the end of that
time he is disinterred to make room for some one
else • and the flesh having by this time turned to
dust, his bones are collected by his family,
tied in
a bundle of cuarse cloth, and hung up outside the
church ; masses are said or sung over them for a
few days, and then they are flung with forgotten
generations into a common charnel house. We
went to see it. It was a pit holding thirty feet of
the remains of the rude forefathers of the hamlet
—a useful sight, a stern lesson." A topographies'
sketch of Russia gives some useful geographicai
information. There is a very interesting article
on Scandinavia, and the belligerent Powers. At
the present crisis we would especially direct atfam-
tion to some pointed remarks on coast defentlest
suggested by a very sensible letter from Mr. Philip
H. Howard, of Corby Castle, on that national si tb-
ject, from which we shall make an extract in a d.,11
or two.

THE FRENCH FLEET.

KIEL, May 31.—The French fleet, which, in
consequence of the light wind prevailing yesterdal
afternoon, cast anchor off Bulk, about 12 reils
from this place, weighed again at dawn this morn-
ing, and, with au extremely fair and strong breeze
from the west, sailed away for Gothland, there t°
await, it is thought, further information as to the
movements of Sir Charles Napier. The Poureul"
vante fast-sailing frigate will proceed direct t°
Memel, for instructions for the French Admiral.
One of the ships in passing out of the inner bay
yesterday took the ground, but by aid of a steamer
was instantly got off again without any damage;
Had the wind been strong, she might have fared
worse. She was the leading ship of the squadron!,
and, in consequence, the others were forewarned
of the shoal in time.
The followinz is an extract from a letter received
by the friend of an officer serving in the Baltic :---
---, MaY 14.
" We are, I believe, imbued with a proper obedieno,
of orders, and an ardent wish to conquer when the..,
tion begins ; but it does not appear that it is the policy
of the French Government or our own to run verYgr:;
hazards, without nearly certain hopes of aduquate ""

CONSTANTINOPLE.

We extract the following from a letter of May
22 :—The latest news received here from the
Danube announces that the Russians have sur-
rounded Silistria, and that all communication be-
tween that place and Schumla is cut off. The Cara-
doe returned here from Varna the day before
yesterday, with General Tylden on board. Marshal
St. Arnaud and Lord Raglan have gone to Schumla
in company with Omer Pacha. We are evidently
on the eve of active military operations. A com-
pany of Sappers and Miners left yesterday for Varna,
and the light brigade is daily expected to follow in
the same direction. The body of Lieut. M'Nish,
of the 93d Highlanders, who was drowned at Sou-
tan on Friday night, has not yet been found. On
Wednesday we expect a grand field day. A divi-
sion of the French forces at Gallipoli is under orders
for Adrianople. We have no news of interest from
the combined squadrons in the Black Sea.

SPANISH BONDHOLDERS,

The committee of Spanish bondholders (through Baron
Lionel de Rothschild) have addressed a memorial to
General Espartero, advocating the cause of the holders
of the certificates issued. for the half of the coupons left
unfunded at the last conversion, and begging his Excel-
lency to recommend some measure to the Spanish Cortes
on the subject. The following communication has been
received from the agent of the committee in Madrid :

Translation.

Madrid, Nov. 6.
Sir,—l had the honour of receiving the letter which you
addressed to me, dated the 10th and 27th October, and, in
consequence of the confidence which the committee has
placed in me, I will continue to employ every effort to give
validity, with the Government of her Catholic Majesty,
to the claims of the bondholders.
I have delivered into the hands of his Excellency the
Duke de la Victoria the letter which you have sent to me
addressed to him, and, after having informed his Excel-
lency, in a few words, of the nature of the claim, I re-
ceived from the duke the assurance that he and the cabi-
net, over which he presides, will heartily endeavour to
obtain from the approaching Cortes a just and prompt
solution of this affair, respecting which the Minister of
Finance had consulted him.
I hasten, sir, to apprise you of the favourable turn which
it appears the question will take at a later period, for even
if the views, which I presume to have been concocted be-
tween the Minister of Finance and the Duke de la Vic-
toria., do not assure us of a project of law to that effect, I
see in them a pledge that the present government aban-
dons the policy pursued by the preceding cabinet respect-
ing the certificates for the coupons, and that it will act
with good faith before constituent Cortes.
It is difficult to foresee what will then be the fate of our
claims before the scrutiny of a political gssembly : I think
that at the proper time it will be suitable.to enlighten the
opinion of the deputies by means of discussion and publi-
city, and that at present we have only to await the effect
of the steps which have been recently taken.
Lord Hewden, who never ceases from showing the kindest
interest, is informed by me of every step taken, and I can-
not sufficiently praise his kind support and good counsel, as
well as those of my predecessor Mr. Weisweiller, who has
recently returned to Madrid.
Receive, sir, the assurance of my entire devotion.

PRUSSIA.

BERLIN, Nov. 13.—1 t is asserted this evening,
and not without foundation, that this Government
has despatched instructions to Counts Bernstorf and
Hatzfeldt to intimate to Lord Clarendon and M.
de Lhuys the desire of the Berlin Cabinet for nearer
approachment towards those of France and Loudon,
and for the resumption of more cordial relations ;
to assure them of its intention to maintain "the
most scrupulous neutrality," without favour or
affection on the one side or on the other • and to
express hopes that their intentions will be appre-
ciated and respected.
The Stock Exchange was surprised this day by
an order from the authorities forbidding the pub-
lic negotiation or quotation of the last Russian
loan. It is not pretended to say whether this
order results from a spontaneous desire on the
part of the Government to give proofs of its neu-
tral disposition, or whether it has resulted from
representations on the part of the British and
French Governments.

The Russian organ here prints in large type the
Russian telegraphic despdtch, of the 6th, from Se-
bastopol, and then not only gives the extract from
the Ai oniteur, containing General Canrobert's short
account of the same affair in small characters,
but adds remarks which tend to indicate that the
repulse was a mere ordinary retreat after a suc-
cessful sortie ; and further, that the great veracity
of all Russian reports entitles them to more credit
than those of the Allies. The Russian despatch
communicated to the Russian organ at this place
omits to mention the death of General Soimonoff,
commanding the 10th division of the fourth corps,
who was killed during the attack ; and the same
organ contradicts itself flatly by first saying that the
reinforcements of which Soimonoff's division forms
a part did not take part in the affair of the sth,
and then declaring that they could not fail to have
arrived on the 3d. When the detailed reports are
received, it will be seen that the two divisions of
the 4th corps (Soimonoff and Popoff) did arrive as
anticipated, and that it was iu consequence of
having received these reinforcements that Menschi-
koff ordered his two sorties. The Russian organ,
in quoting the oniteur, places a mark of interro-
gation or query after the 9,000 Russians, said by
General Canrebert to have been put hors de combat.
London, England, 1854-11-16

THE BLACK SEA.

Private letters from Varna, of the 30th ult., in-
form us that both the Ottoman and French troops
are being daily embarked at that port for the
Crimea. The French reinforcements are to be
formed into a new, namely, the 6th division, which
is now concentrating partly at Constantinople and
partly at Varna. A brigade of this division, con-
sisting of the 23d light and 28th regiments of the
line, and the troops that were in occupation in
Greece, must already have arrived at Balaklava. A
second brigade is to be formed of the 6th battalion
of the Chasseurs de Vincennes, and of two infantry
regiments, now on their road to Varna. This
brigade will probably also have been already em-
barked thence in the meantime.
