SINGULAR RESOLUTION OF THE SULTAN.—The Lloyd
of Vienna of the Bth says :—•" Amongst the demands
made by Prince Menschikoff in his ultimatum to the
Porte was that of the re-establishment of the 3upola of
the Holy Sepillehre, and of the construction of a church
and hospital at Jerusalem. The Sultan has spontane-
ously charged the Patriarch Anthimos to send in his opi-
nion as to the manner in which these constructions
ought to be made in case-they are really necessary."

THE LATE CAPTAIN GIFFARD.—This lamented officer
(the first, by the way, holding a British commission
killed in the war) was a Devonshire man, holding rela-
tions with some leading English and Irish families. His
name may be familiar to the reader as an active mover
in the late Chinese war. The despatches of Lord Gough
and Sir Hyde Parker bore the greatest possible testi-
mony to his professional talent. Of late years he was
under the flag of Sir Charles Hotham on the African
oas t. He entered the service in 1824.
THE VINTAGE.—The subjoined report has been re-
ceived from Bordeaux regarding the condition and pros-
pects of the vines :—" In answer to your query about
the state of the vines, I regret to say that I cannot report
more favourably than in my last. Up to this moment
we have scarcely had a really summer day, so that the
vegetation does not progress satisfactorily. The accounts
from all our wine districts, both red and white, are very
discouraging. Under the most favourable circumstances,
we cannot expect to make as much wine as we did even
last year, which did not yield above a third of an average
vintage. The vineyards that look the least promising
are those thnt produce the middling and lower qualities
of wine. A considerable portion of their vines are com-
pletely destroyed, partly by the oidiutn of last year, and
partly by the frosts of the early part of the winter,
which occurred before the sap was at rest in the plant.
Of those that remain there are many that shoot only
from the root below the surface of the soil, the wood
above being dead. These, of course, if they eventually
survive, can only yield fruit for wine in three or four
years hence. The fruit bunches on the most healthy
plants are small, and far between. You may imagine
the despair of the unfortunate proprietors with such a
prospect before them, and their crop of 1853 on hand,
which they cannot dispose of on account of its wretched
quality. The 1852 went cheap, as also the 1850 and
1849, so that they have not really wherewith to pay the
cultivation of their estates. Added to all other evils,
the oidium, which last year only shored itself in July,
has already broken out in many parishes. The vine-
yards of the higher growths show rather more fruit
bunches than the others, but even these have a very
, sickly appearance, and cannot, in my opinion, come to

MEXICAN GUANO COMPANY.-- It appears that the
Government of Mexico have recently granted for ten
years to Senor Jose 0. Forns and others, representing
a body to he called the Mexican Guano Company, an
exclusive privilege for the exportation of guano from all
the coasts and islands belonging to that country, with
the exception of three islands in the Pacific known under
the name of the Marine. Circulars have accordingly
been issued, notifying the conditions on which it may
be obtained, the professed object of the proprietors being
to leave the trade as open as possible consistently with
their own claims for remuneration. Tile quality of the
guano existing on the Atlantic side of the coast has been
more thoroughly examined than that on the other,
owing to several cargoes having already been taken
thence to the United States, as well as a few to Liver-
pool, and is stated to be entirely distinct from the Peru-
vian descriptions, its richness consisting of GO per cent.
of phosphate of lime. That which exists on the islands
and promontories of the Pacific coast and in the Gulf of
California is described as of a more varied character,
some parts which are rainless being expected to supply
high qualities, while in others the descriptions aro in-
ferior. Thus far, however, there seems to have been no
accurate classification of the respective sorts, nor any
reliable estimates as to the quantities obtainable. The
discovery of these deposits as regarded the Atlanticptore-
tion is only of recent date. The islands containing the
principal principal amount aro called the Trianglehs, nir the
coast of Yucatan ; and no knowledge of te
Mexicanstance seemed to have been possessed by the
Government until very lately, when, afteritthwo American
vessels had filled there, one of them, w more than
200 tons on board, was stranded in a storm on
a neigh
bouring point, and the raatter was Drought to light.

THE MILITIA.
The Carnarvonshire Rifle Corps have completed their
second period of 28 days' training, and have been re-
viewed by Colonel Fernaux, of the Royal Artillery.
The various evolutions were gone through with great
steadiness and precision, and the firing was quick and
regular. The regiment having formed into hollow
square, the reviewing officer complimented the officers
and men upon their efficiency. The regiment musters
400 strong ; the uniform is a dark green rifle dress, and
the weapon used is a two-grooved rifle, with sights
ranging up to long distances. The majority of the men
are volunteers from the slate quarries, fine active young
fellows, some of whom have enlisted into the Guards and
the Artiliery, who are recruiting in the county.
The Royal Anglesey Militia are now undergoing the
usual 28 days' training in the neighbourhood of Beau-
maris. The regiment musters strong, but a few men
being required to fill up the complement. They are ex-
ceedingly steady and well behaved, and make great pro-
gress. The regiment is a Light Infantry one, and the
new uniforms look well. An excellent baud has been
got up, with an efficient band-master.
The Essex Rifles Militia, Colonel Lord Jocelyn, now
in garrison at the Tower, are to have a grand field-day
in Hyde Park on Saturday.
The North Lincolnshire Militia, Colonel Tomline,
completes its period of 28 days' training on Monday,
when the men will be dismissed. The regiment has
been inspected by Colonel Slade, who was extremely
pleased at its high state of discipline.
The IVL,,rimoutliOlire Militia, 600 strong, is embodied
and doing permanent duty, occupying the barracks at
Newport. Both officers and men are extremely well
pleand with their quarters.
London, England, 1854-06-15

verted international law to its very foundations, and embol-
i dened Russia to all its subsequent aggressions, at length
danger threatens every nation of Europe. This meeting
declares that the re-establishment of Poland as an inde-
pendent,nation is not only an act of justice due to her
sufferings and wrongs, but indispensable for securing the
object of the war, for restoring the balance of power in
Europe, for putting a stop to the encroachments of Russia,
and for re-establishing a true and lasting peace."
The Rev. G. A. SYME (Baptist) moved, and Mr. JAMES
SWEET seconded—
" That whereas the house of Austria, with vile ingrati-
tude, has participated in the spoil of Poland, once her de-
liverer ; and even now reigned in Hungary not by law or
right, but by the aid of a Russian invasion, as unjustifiable
as that against which we are now taking up arms; this
meeting declares that an alliance with Austria for the
present %Yr would be unsound, dangerous, and subversive
of its aim ; that if the poople of England desire to be
guarded against the recurrence of wars, brought about by
the encroachments of despotism upon the rights and iude
pendence of nations, and desire by their present sacrifices to
attain a true and lasting peace, they are bound by honour and
interest to seek an alliance with the oppressed nations,
and not with the oppressors; and whereas the cause of
Poland is peculiarly important at this crisis, from the fact
that England and France, conjointly with Turkey, are
already at war with Russia, the most powerful among the
spoliators of Poland, this meeting resolves to present peti-
tiOns to both houses of Parliament, praying that assistance
be afforded to P.,land in her efforts to regain her rights,
and that the war be not terminated without a treaty of
peace recognising the restoration of Poland to independ-
ence and integrity."
Carried unanimously.
A petition to both houses of Parliament, embodying the
resolutions, was unanimously adopted on the motion of Mr.
T. H. SMITH, seconded by Mr. T. MARRIOTT.
The proceedings were then adjourned to an evening
meeting, to be held in the Mechanics'-hall, and the im-
mense assemblage dispersed, having been occupied from
one o'clock until half-past three.
Cheers, before separating. were given for Kossuth, Hun-
gary, and Poland, and hearty groans for Austria and
Russia.

the Alauritius and the Argo, both also of 1,800 tons,
and the Prince, now fitting out, of 2,700 tons, will

SPAIN.

The Madrid journals of the 9th contain nothing
of political interest. Orders had been received to
chastise the piratical Moors on the coast of Melila.
A letter from a ministerial source says The
most complete calm continues to prevail in the
capital, notwithstanding rumours are spread by
the enemies of the government to the effect that
the insurrectional movement which had been talked
of for some days has only been adjourned, and that
the co-operation of a part of the garrison can be
counted on. All these rumours occupy the idle
frequenters of the Puerta del Sol, but do not inti-
midate men of sense. Yesterday all the cavalry of
the garrison was passed in review by the director-
general of the cavalry. The Bank of San Fer-
nando has been occupied for two days in Pre'

COMMOTION IN THE CRIMEA.

The Moniteur de la Flotte quotes a letter from
the Black Sea, of the 24th ult., stating that con-
siderable ferment prevailed in the Crimea, in con-
sequence of a decree of the Governor of the pro'
viuce, ordering all the seamen engaged in the coast-
ing trade, without exception, to repair forthwith to
Sebastopol, where they were to be incorporated
with the Russian navy. Many of those unfortunate
men have fled with their families, to avoid that
incorporation.

THE BALTIC.

DESTRUCTION OF RUSSIAN DOCKYARDS•

CAPTURE OF GUNBOATS.
We published yesterday a telegraphic despatch
from Copenhagen, stating there was a report in.
that City, to the effect that 'some English vessels,
off Brahstab, in Finland, had taken or destroyed
the gunboats and a large number of merchant
ships, and fired the wharf at that place. Also that
10,000 barrels of tar, and property worth 300,00°
silver roubles, were destroyed.
Another despatch, dated Lubeck, yesterday, cot'
firms the above, but adds that an expedition of
similar nature had been undertaken, with the same
success, at Uleaborg.
The despatch in question is as follows :
" Admiral Plumridge has been punishing the
Russians.
" He has destroyed their dockyards at Uleaborg
and Brahstab, burning 10,000 barrels of tar at one
place, and 18,000 at another.
"He has also taken several of the gunboatg
which had been prepared to oppose the English
fleet."
Uleaborg and Brahstab are not far distant from
each other in Finland, on the upper part of the
Gulf of Bothnia. Uleaborg is next to Abo, the
ehiof commercial town of Finland. Its exports
are tar, fish, and salted provisions. It has a good
harbour and salmon fishery, and has also a castle,
built in 1590, and standing on an island not far
from the town itself.

A letter from Rostock, in the Baltic, states that
the squadron of V ice-Admiral Parseval-Deschenes
anchored on the 6th off the Isle of Gothland, in
Sweden. It was expected that they would Pill
Admiral Napier about the 12th.
It is said that the Emperor Nicholas, after h$
last visit to Cronstadt, was so displeased with the,
measures adopted for its defence by several general
and other superior officers, that he had sent theta
in disgrace to the army of the Caucasus. A recent
ukase appoints their successors, and supersedes the
commanders of a number of strong places in Fill'
land, particularly in the governments of Wyborg•
Tevastchus, Kuopio, and Uleaborg. These Wet'
sures, it appears, were rendered indispensable bf
the situation of the country, which evinces the
greatest hostility towards Russia.

of the adventures of the refugees, avoidiagreligioun
discussion or political animadversions. It is truly
what it professes to be, a history of the exiles.
The first book extends from the promulgation of
the edict of Nantes to its revocation. The six fol-
lowing books trace the fortunes of the exiles in
Brandenburg, England, America, Holland, Swit.
zerland, Denmark, Sweden, and Russia. It is the
result of much time and research among the various
documents of the different nations. Both as his.
tory and biography, independently of all other in.
terest, it will well repay perusal.

History of Missions. By the Rev. W. Brown.

Third Edition. 3 vole. Blackwood.
The fact of this being the third edition of this
work proves that it has not been without success.
It relates the propagation of Christianity among
the heathen from the Reformation to the present
time. It relates to every quarter of the globe, and
its narratives include all the varying races of hu-
manity. To those who take an interest in such
records these volumes will afford a valuable stock
of information. There is one point which the
author maintains which is highly commendable.
His first object in preparing his work has been to
present to his readers a correct and faithful picture.
It is remarked that "there is nothing in regard to
which the author has been so anxious as truth.
He has not concea'ed faults and imperfections.
He has beeh as ready to state unfavourable as favour-
able circumstances, to markfailure as to note success.
He will probably, however, be censured by some
for having brought out so broadly and in so mud)
detail the errors and defects of particular missions
but he may be allowed to say that, in giving such
statements, he has not been actuated by a tone of
detraction, nor yet by any sectarian spirit. Many
of the statements now referred to, though painful,
are highly instructive, and he trusts they will be
useful in checking similar evils in time to ,come.
He is convinced that the friends of missions often
draw much too glowing pictures of their triumph
ant progress by their past success, and of their
future prospects, and that by this means they pro-
duce fallacious impressions on the public mind, and
excite hopes which can only terminate in dint,.
pointment. The common observation that honesty
is the best policy, is applicable to truth in general.
It may be attended with temporary inconveniences,
but the advantages will far more than counterbal-
ance the disadvantages. Missionary societies might
by such a system be rendered less popular, but they
would probably be more useful." As a very exten-
sive and complete work of its kind, this volume
may be recommended to the readers interested is
the subject.

The opinion gains ground here, writes the Paris
correspondent of the Times yesterday, that the
interview at Tetschen has strengthened the alliance
of the great German Sovereigns, and that as soon
as the answer of the Emperor of Russia shall be
made known the attitude of both will become
more precise and more vigorous, in conformity,
indeed, with the object of their treaties, which
is declared to be identical with that of the
maritime Powers. It seems also to be considered
that the question of the adhesion of the other
States of the Confederation to the policy of the
great European Powers is but of a secondary
nature, and that it interests themselves and their
personal situation more than it is likely to affect
the general coalition. England, France, Austria,
and Prussia are of themselves competent to bring
Russia to reason ; and the falling off of any of the
smaller States would be less injurious to them than
it would be fatal to those States themselves. Never-
theless, any serious opposition on their part is not
anticipated on the present occasion. The interest
of Austria and Prussia, in their resistance to Rus-
sia, is that cf all Germany ; and their policy can-
not be seriously counteracted by any single State.
It is presumed, then, that the acts of the Diet of
Frankfort will show the unanimous resolve of the
Confederation to defend Germany and all Europe
against the unscrupulous ambition of an overgrown
and disloyal Power.
The Moniteur of yesterday says A gold
medal of honour, 2d class, has been awarded to
Captain Storey, of the brig Titania, of Newcastle,
for having, at the risk of his life, saved and taken
on board some French sailors belonging to the
crew of the wrecked vessel L'Etodie-Autonie.'
The interior affairs of France excite little notice.
The great affair, as far as regards the Court, is the
organization of the new Imperial Guard ; and it
meets with difficulties, not from the public—for
here the public voice is silent—but from the army.
It appears that the colonels of the regiments from
which the now guard is to be drafted, complain
that all their best, stoutest, and most intelligent
men are to be taken from them, while the worst
men are left ; and they declare that the effect will
be most injurious to the army generally, especially
at the commencement of a war. The validity of
these complaints seems to be felt in high quarters,
for it is under consideration, and may be said to
be determined on, that the Imperial Guard will for
the present be limited to 5,000 men.

MEDITERRANEAN ELECTRIC

TELEGRAPH.

Yesterday morning a numerous party of noblemen
and gentlemen attended on board the Persian, a very
elegant steamer of 900 tons bnrthen, belonging to Messrs.
Dixon and Co., now lying off Messrs. Kuper and Co.'s,
Morden-wharf, East Geeenwick, to witness the coiling
on board of an electric telegraph cable, 110 miles long,
about to bo sent out on Saturday next, for forming a
communication bet Teen Spezzio, in the Gulf of Genoa,
to Corsica, from whence a communication will be made
with the southern portion of Sardinia—the cable being
20 miles longer than absolutely required. It is most
excellently made, and weighs about eight tons per
mile, the cost being between 5001. and 6001. per
mile. After viewing the process of coiling the cable
on board the vessel, visitors were conducted along
r a staging from the Persian, and the machinery in motion
I for making the cable was exhibited and explained.
' Joints in the gutta percha covered wires and the
outer iron wires were made, and explanations of the gal-
vano-meters and apparatus for discovering a fault in the
continuity of the electric current given. After this,
messages were sent and received by the ordinary double
needle instruments through the 110 miles of the cable.
The cables were then all joined together, and guns fired
on board the Persian by the telegraph from the factory,
through a distance of 660 miles of cable. Upon the return
of the company on board the Persian, some curious experi-
ments were made, of exploding, by electricity, guttapercha
bottles of powder placed under the water, with great sue-
cess, and one of the bottles, about the size of a common
blacking bottle, having accidentally drifted under the
steamer, upon exploding, regularly shook the vessel, much
to the astonishment of the majority of those on board.
The company, which was only formed about March last,
have not only completedthecab
advancedletoc withonne anotherSpezza

cable 150 miles long, which they expect to be ready in
August, to extend the communication to Bona, on the
African coast—a sum equal to 5 per cent. on the capital
being guaranteed by the French and Sardinian Govern-
ments for 50 years. The cable, which is about .34 inch
in diameter, and contains 6 wires completely isolated, is
being made at the rate of 2 miles a day, the process of
twisting, by what, in
peculiarity of
its rotations, is called thee
