THE BALTIC.

A telegraphic despatch, dated Copenhagen, Tues-
day morning, says :—" The fleet leaves Kioge Bay
early to-morrow for the Island of Gothland, about
half way up the Baltic, whence despatches have
been brought by the Lightning from the advanced
steam squadron."

COPRNHAGEN, APRIL 7.—Yesterday the Conflict,
screw, 8, Captain Foote, came in from the south.
The Desperate, screw, 8, Captain Wyncourt, passed
from the north. The Odin, from the fleet, with
Sir Charles Napier on board, arrived at 2 o'clock.
On Monday, the English steamers Driver and
Hecla passed Nyborg southwards, the former tow-
ing the sailing-frigate Boscawen. An unfortunate
accident occurred on this occasion. The boat which
should convey some men on board the frigate was
not made fast, but lay at the side of the steamer ;
it got into the wheel-water and turned over, and
5 men were drowned.

On Tuesday the Driver took up an anchorage
north of Knudshoved, having with it from the
north a ship of the line and a paddle-steamer.
The pilots have returned to Nyborg, after con-
ducting the first division of the fleet from the Cat-
tegat to Kiel, and thence to Kioge Bay.
The Danish screw-steamer Thor stood out to the
south yesterday. It is said that the Holger
Danske will be stationed near Nyborg, in the
Great Belt.

Military and naval preparations against an in-
visible foe are daily increasing here.
Letters from Prussia annouuce that at Memel,
the Prussian port on the frontier of Russia, a vast
entrepot of Russian produce has been formed which
has been hastily imported into the neutral German
territory, in anticipation of an embargo on the
part of Russia, or a blackade by the maritime
powers.

THE PERIODICAL PRESS.

Mr. M. GIBSON gave notice that he should, on Tues-
day, the 16th of May, call the attention of the house to the
present unsatisfactory state of the law affecting the perio-
dical press, and that he should also move the following le-
solution :—" That it is the opinion of this house that the
laws in reference to the periodical press and to newspaper
stamps are ill-defined and unequally enforced ; and that it
appears to this house that the subject is one which demands
the early consideration of Parliament."
London, England, 1854-04-12

some few miles to the southward, as the former
place was not sufficiently safe for the ships. Seve-
ral vessels had, it is said, been sent to Odessa to
demand the release of some merchant vessels, which
had been illegally detained in that port.
Accounts had reached Constantinople that the
Preek insurgents in the Epirus bad been de-
feated, and that for the moment the insurrec-
tion was .making no further progress in the in-
terior. When M. Metaxa, the Greek Envoy at
Constantinople, was told that he might have his
passports, and that he •must inform his fellow
subjects that they had to quit Constantinople in
three weeks, he went successively to the ambassa-
dors of England and France to beg them, in the
name of his Sovereign, to take the Greek subjects
under their protection ; but his application was re-
jected in a manner to prove to him that the con-
duct of his Government had inspired a strong feel-
ing of dissatisfaction. It was thought that the
Belgian Minister would be charged with the tem-
porary protection of the Greek subjects.
On the 29th the Porte addressed a memorandum
to all the ambassadors, informing them that under
existing circumstances it was necessary that the
police should be organised on a new footing, and
begging them to second the Turkish Government in
the execution of that useful project.
The Journal de Constantinople of the 29th states
that, on the 24th, an English steamer appeared
before the purt of Varna, but the usual signals not
having been at first understood, a shot was fired at
her, as she was suspected to be a Russian one under
false 'colours. Explanations were at length ex-
changed, and she entered the port. On the fol-
lowing day two other French and English steamers
arrived, each bringing a battalion of Turkish
infantry formed on the model of the Chasseurs de
Vincennes. The Egyptian corps which were at
Schumla have been sent to the Dobrutscha, and
are to take up their quarters at Kousgoun.

LATEST FROM SPAIN.

MADRID, APRIL 5.
Affairs continue in the same state at Blrcelona—
„
Tat is to say, the proclamations and menaces of
the Captain-General have no effect in inducing
the people to return to work. The Gazette gives
what professes to be the substance of a de-
spatch from General La Rocha, of the Ist inst.,
together with the proclamation of that date, and in
Which the workmen were given till two p.m. to re-
ti,lPae work, and threatened that all who disobeyed
~u.,sinjunction should be treated as rebels ; and Gene-
'jai La Rocha expresses his expectation that the pro-
t Gene-
clan will have the desired effect. At the same
ready
be was concentrating fro, ips there, and getting

the Russians at Slatina. They were taken with
great ceremony, in the midst of a large crowd of
spectators, to the citadel, from where they are to
be sent ou to Shumla. From 30 to 40 prisoners,
and as many wounded Russians, who are still at
Kalafat, will be transferred to Widdin to-morrow.

DEATH OF MUSSA PACHA CONFIRMED.
The following despatch has reached Paris :--
CONSTANTINOPLE, June 10.—The death of Mnssa
Pacha, Governor of Silistria, has been confirmed.
He was killed on the 31st May by a granade, after
an assault valiantly repulsed. Mussa Pacha has
died poor ; he had refused two millions which Pas-
kiewitsch had offered him to give up the place.
Omer Pacha, on the news of his death, sent Seiram
Paella with 30,000 men, who, having feigned to
give battle to the Russian army, brought about a
movement in that army which permitted him to
introduce 2,000 men into Silistria.

THE AUSTRIAN LOAN.

" Contrary to all expectation," says a letter
from Vienna of the 16th, in the Post-Ampt Ga-
zette of Frankfort, " the negotiations between
the ministry and -the beads of the four Roths-
child firms were broken off yesterday. The
counter•proposition made by the Government to
that of Baron J. de Rothschild not having been
accepted by this latter, MM. de Rothschild have
taken their departure without any result being
arrived at."

SERVIA.

Letters from Belgrade of the 9th state that the
Prince of Servia has recalled the able and patriotic
minister, Garaschanin, who was torn from him Ilk
the spring of last year by Russia.

REGAL OF THE RUSSIAN MINISTER
FROM GREECE.

We read in the Vienna _Lloyd :—" The persons
attached to the Russian- legation in Greece are ex-
pected here. The Emperor Nicholas has address-
ed to King Otho a letter, in which he declares
that the representatives of Russia can only be ac-
credited at independent courts, and he reserves to
himself the right of taking measures serviceable for
the future."

CAMP AT VARNA.

The following letter is from an officer at Varna :--

" CAMP OF VARNA, June I.—Too late to get my
horse on board the Emperor, so came out in the city of
London, with the two Brigadiers Airey and Buller and
staff. No troops, only a few soldiers of the 33rd. Excel-
lent passage, and well provided. Arrived at half-past 1
o'clock on Tuesday, having started at 5 o'clock the day
before. Varna situated on a slope in front of the sea.
hills behind, somewhat of the appearance of Gallipoli, half
a dozen minarets, usual Turkish houses with a consider-
able sprinkling of cypresses, looks of course better from
the sea than wlren in the midst of it. Fortifications not
at all justifying the idea of its strength which is preva-
lent ;lit only astonishes one how it could have held out
against the Russians. We are encamped about a mile
from the town. The country about is decidedly pretty,
with wooded hills in the distance full of game, and a
large fresh water lake in front of our camp. The plain
is the same on which the Russians were encamped in
'2B ; it proved rather fatal to them in consequence of
the swamps, which are now tolerably dry. There are
plenty of small horses—the price is rising rapidly.
Bought two yesterday for 61., V. and 21. They are now
asking 121. and 151. for the same. The sovereign is

THE LOSS OF THE EUROPA

The following official copies of the depositions, taken
at Gibraltar, by the survivors from the Europa,- have
been sent to us for publication :—•
City, Garrison, and Territory of Gibraltar.
Lieutenant and Adjutant Archibald Weir saith, —That he is
a lieutenant adjutant of the 6th Dragoons. About 10 p.m. on
the night of the 31st May the steward of the Europa came to
the cabin which I occupied, and informed me that the ship
was on fire. I immediately went on to the quarter-deck and
asked Colonel Moore if he had any orders to give. His reply
was, that he had not got any orders to give, except to keep
the men quiet and prevent them from getting into the boats.
Dr. IP Griggor and myself endeavoured to do so, but the boats,
I believe, were lowered by some of the crew. This might
have been about 20 minutes after I had heard the alarm of
fire. I never saw the gig go away, but when the colonel de-
sired me to prevent the men from taking the boats I disco-
vered she was gone. I consider that my men were obedient
to orders until they saw the boats lowered and pulling away
from the ship, when they endeavoured to get into them. I
left the ship, having been pushed into the boat with Lieut.
Black, Dr. M'Griggor, Cornet Timson, and the second mate,
several soldiers and crew, with a woman, amounting in num-
ber to 27. I heard that one of the crew cut the boat adrift
to prevent her from swamping. After drifting about for
about an hour we were taken in tow by the Admiralty agent's
gig, in which were the first and third mate, the clerk, and
two of the ship's crew. We got on board the Kennet Kings-
ford schooner about midnight. I heard Mr. Black urge the
captain of the schooner to run down to the wreck, but he
said ho was afraid of the fire and of her blowing up. I also
asked the man to go down to her, and at the same time inquired
what had become of the boats. The first mate -replied that
they had gone adrift. I do not know how that happened,
and was astonished to hear it, and expressed my astonish-
ment, as they might have been used in saving the people on
the wreck. We remained in the schooner until taken on
Loard her Majesty's ship Tribune. I know nothing of the
origin of the fire, but heard Private Nugent say that one of
the seamen's berths was on fire the previous day, and I re-
ported the circumstance to Capt. Carnegie.

LAW INTELLIGENCE--(THIS DAY).

QUEEN'S BENCH.
(Before Lord Campbell and a common jury.)
THE ST. JAMES'S CLUB-PINK V. SWETENHAM.
This was an action, part of which was heard yesterday,
to recover the balance of 8331., due by the defendant for
work done. The defendant pleaded the general issue.
Mr. Thompson and Mr. Hugh Hill were for the plaintiff,
and Mr. Watson, Q.C., for the defendant. The defendant
was, or had been a; member of the St. James's Club,
and the present action had been brought to recover
the balance of au account for decorations to the club. It
appeared that in 1851, the club being in great difficulties,
there was a meeting of some of the members,. and some
arrangement was made that the members should put down
601., or pay 101. each year for six years, and which would
free the club from debt, and defendant, as it appeared,
not acquiescing in the arrangement, the present action was
brought.
The proceedings, which were somewhat confused, ended
in a verdict for the defendant.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.
(Before Mr. Commissioner Evans.)
BUILDING SOCIETIES. -IN RE JONES.

This bankrupt was described as of Lloyd's-square, ma-
nufacturing jeweller, and to-day came up for his certificate.
The balance-sheet prepared by Mr. Watson, Basinghall-
street, extends from January 1853, to March 1854, and
shows—Debtor to credit )rs, 6711. u s. 2d. ; to ditto hold-
ing security, 971. ; liabilities, 435/. ; profit, 1321. 7s. sd. ;
capital, Jan. 1853, 168/. 15s 7d Creditor—By good debts,
1151. 15s. Od. ; property given up, 85/. ; property in the
hands of creditors, 3001.
This property was described as subject to mortgage to
the Imperial Building Society, Vernon School-rooms,
Clerkenwell, for advances. In May, 1847, the bankrupt
took six shares iu the society, and had an advance of 3751.
to purchase a leasehold house, and was to pay 31. 12s. per
month. In 1851, he borrowed 3161. and took four other
shares. Since 1847 bankrupt had paid off 5941., leaving
971. due, and the property was now valued at 3001.

being no opposition, his Honour granted an immediate cer-
tificate of the second class.

AFFAIRS OF GREECE.

Mr. COBDEN asked the noble lord if he could afford
him a day for bringing under the attention of the house
the papers relating to the affairs of Greece ?
Lord J. RUSSELL said if the hon. gentleman would
give notice of any motion he might wish to submit to the
house on the subject, he should be ready to consider
whethor any day could be given for bringing on that
motion.
OUR AMBASSADOR AT TURKEY.
Mr. BRIGEIT remarked that there was a rumour abroad
that the ambassador from this country to the Sublime
Porte had been recalled, and he wished to ask the noble
lord if there was any truth in that statement ?
Lord J. RUSSELL had not heard the report, bat there
was no truth whatever in it. (Cheers.)
London, England, 1854-06-20

man the propriety of moving for a return of the moneys
voted for the purposes alluded to, and the manner in
which they had been disposed of, and then he would lay
the toundation for any further proceedings which he might
think it necessary to take. That would be much more
convenient than renewing discussions of this kind without
the house being in possession of any information whatever
on the subject.

Colonel I)UNNE said he would move for the appoint-
ment of a committee at the first opportunity.
After a few remarks from Mr. Macartney, Mr. W. Wil-
liams, Mr. Fitzroy, and Mr. F. French, the vote was
agreed to.

A vote of 92,7651. for the expenses of transportation of
convicts was agreed to.
On a vote of 342,702 for convict establishments in the
colonies,

Mr. G. DUNDAS desired an explanation of the disparity
between the cost of convicts at Gibraltar and in Western
Australia, the latter being more than double that of the
former.

Mr. PEEL said it might, perhaps, be accounted for by
the fact that in Western Australia large numbers of cm•
victs were in service, but at Gibraltar they were iu con-
finement, and provisioned by the Government.
Mr. ADDERLEY thought that was a reason why the
cost in Western Australia should be less and not more
than in Gibraltar

Mr. PEEL stated that provisions were much dearer in
Australia, and considerable expense had been incurred in
the construction of prisons.
After some further explanations, the vote was agreed to.
The next vote of 4,0421. for civil establishments in Ber-
mudas was agreed to without observation, but it appeared
members had been unable to follow the Secretary of the
Treasury, and there was a general exclamation of ' Where
are we ?"

Mr. WILSON said it was the first vote of No. 5, the
education votes, No. 4, having been post onod for a few
days, as stated by the noble lord (Lord John Russell).
Mr. WILLIAMS complained bitterly that they had not
been told that the votes were to be taken irregularly. He
had intended to objoct to the last vote, and could only say
the Government had carried it "downright surrepti-
tiously." (A laugh.) The hon. member proceeded to ask
explanations on some matters connected with the vote just
passed, which were afforded by Mr. Peel, though some-
what out of order.
On the vote of 7,547(. for the clergy in the Bahamas and
North America,
Mr. ADDERLEY inquired whether or not the Colonial
Clergy Bill was to be proceeded with this session ?
Lord J. RUSSELL said that he could not give a decided
answer to this question, as this point had not been final'',
determined. He, however, promised to give a more ex-
plicit answer upon a future day.
Another vote of 9,9381. for the Indian department of
Canada was agreed to, after which, upon the motion of Mr.
BROTEIERTON, the house resumed, and the Chairman
reported progress, and obtained leave to sit again.

EFFECTIVE FORCE OF THE RUSSIAN
ARMY.
g pamphlet, entitled " The Russian Army," has
Just been published in Paris, by M. Tardif de Mello,
a gentleman who resided 14 years in Russia. He
asserts that in 1852 the effective force of the Rus-
)l344 army amounted to 900,000 men, thus distri-
i tited :—ln the frontier provinces of Asia, 80,000 ;
8toll; Siberia, 40,000 ; in the fortresses of Finland,
evonia, and Courland, 70,000 ; in the garrison of
• Petersburg, 30,000 troops of the line, and
Moscow
of the imperial guard ; in the garrison of
60,000 ; in Poland, 100,000 ; in the mi-
tit:l7 colonies, 250,000 ; corps of observation on
e Turkish frontier, 100,000 • reserve marching
usAtalions, 100,000. M. Tardif de Mello gives the
tunes of all the regiments, and some curious de-
:lle of the history and organisation of the Russian
3r m's.

CAPTURE OF SEVEN HUNDRED
RUSSIANS.
A. letter from the Black Sea announces that Ad-
'ral Sir E. Lyons had captured 700 Russian re-
erUits crossing from Anapa to the Crimea.
PRIZES IN THE BLACK SEA.

nOn the 3d inst., at 5 p.m., the Sidon arrived at
'ftstantinople with four prizes from the Black Sea,
captured off Sulina—two Russian and two Greek
laden with grain, and the latter also partly with
tirloskets, and other contraband of war, bound for
°lO and Prevesa. Every arrival from the Euxine
,11 of course a great incident, and thus the Sidon
,as soon besieged with a host of anxious inquirers.
The Sultan, among the rest, ou descrying our
zearaer from his kiosque, despatched without de-
.`ll a chamberlain to ask the news, and who, on
Quitting, was honoured with a salute of 10 guns.
appears that great despondency exists in the
fleets,
meets in consequence of the delay attending our
tflval operations in the Black Sea. All are impa-
lent to go ahead and attack the itonghold ; but
this is no easy matter perhaps to accomplish with-
b
it os, unless the allied squadrons be supported
a sufficient land force.
