TAKING OF CRONSTADT.

Lord D. STUART asked the First Lord of the Admi-
ralty whether any information had been received relating
to the capture of a number of Russian transports near the
ireland. of Serpenti, and whether those transports had
troops or ammunition on board, and from what ports they
had come, and where they were bound to. The noble lord
wished also to ask whether the Admiralty had received any
account from the Baltic relative to the taking of Cronstadt
which had resulted is great loss to our fleet.

Sir J. GRAHAM said, Sir, with the permission of the
house, I will answer the last question first being the most
important, I have received no account whatever by tele-
graph from the Baltic, and, therefore, I can have no
doubt that there must be some error in the report to which
my noble friend has referred. I have received a letter
this morning from Sir C. Napier, dated May 3, when ho
was still on the coast of Sweden, but I am reminded
by a noble friend that there is a post as late as the
sth inst., but Sir Charles Napier states in his letter of the
3d that the fogs were so thick that he did not think it
would be safe for some time to move the fleet. The right
hon. hart. then proceeded to give a lengthened explanation
with regard to the first question. It was true the Tiger had
made such a capture of ships, but the ships were not filled
with troops. They were only laden with ammunitions of
War.

TENANTS' COMPENSATION BILLS.
Mr. MOORE moved that the house, at its rising, should
adjourn until Monday, with the view of calling attention
to the Tenants' Compensation Bills, which had beeureferred
by the Lords to a select committee, and of inquiring what
course Government intended to take with reference to
these bills.

Lord J. RUSSELL replied that when the bills came out

THE SIEGE OF SILISTRIA.

A letter from Vienna, of the 7th, in Voss's
Gazette of Berlin, says :—" Reports received this
day at a foreign embassy, confirm the news of the
Turks having gained advantages over the Russians
near Silistria. The Turks, in fact, have been con-
querors on every point. The corps of General
Luders and Engelhardt have retired, and Rassowa
is no longer blocaded. It is not doubted that the
Rupsians will be forced to abandon the siege of
Silistria. Besides, the losses which they have sus-
tained, their gun-boats have been sunk by the guns
of the fortress. Massa Pacha in a sortie took seven
guns, and drove back the Russians with a loss of
500 killed and 1,000 wounded. The wounded have
been conveyed to Bucharest.
London, England, 1854-05-12

PRUSSIAN NAVAL OFFICERS.

Mr. OTWAY asked the First Lord of the Admiralty
whether he had any objection to lay on the table of the
house all the communications that had passed between
the Board of Admiralty, or any British and Prussian
authorities, on the subject of Prussian officers in her
Majesty's ships.
Sir J. GRAHAM said the Admiralty did not correspond
with Foreign Powers, and therefore there were no papers
in their possession. He could state, however, that, with
the pleasure of her Majesty, several Prussian naval officers
had been allowed to enter our fleet in the Baltic as mid-
shipmen, and they would be permitted to leave our ships
should any encounter with Prussia be distasteful to them.

be an explanation of
having been opened upon afirehre
from the batteries at Odessa
Britannic Majesty's steam-
vessel Furious, and her
having a flag of truce flying at boat, on the Bth instant, both
Vice-Admiral Dundas regrets that the statements made

Admiral, and he has still more to reezuetatat so wanton

etrated by the forces undr the orders of General Baron

(Enclosure No. 5).
Off Odessa, April 21, 854.
Sir,— Considering that the letter of your Excellencyl
the 14th April, and which has only been received' by us
this morei,,,,, contains only erroneous statements in f.. 3
fication of the unqualifiable aggression of which the autlaol
rities of Odessa have been guilty, with respect to one of
our frigates and her boat, both of them bearing a flag of
truce.
Considerin,-, that notwithstanding this flag, the
batteries
of that city have fired several shot, as well at the frigate
as at the boat, at the time that the latter had quitted the
Mole where it had arrivod with perfect confidence.
The two Vice-Admirals, Commanding; in Chief the com-
bined squadrons of England And France, believe them-
selves entitled to exact reparation from your Excey.
In consequence, all the Englisk, :French, and Russian
vessels, now a nhord near the fortress or batteries of
Odessa, must bec delivered immediately to the two com-
bined squadrons.
If at sunset the two Vice-Admirals should not receive
jneyo.awer, or should have received a negative, they will
that big obliged to have recourse to force to revenge the insult
th asbeen committed against the flag of one of the
combined squadrons, although the interests of humanity

AN ENGLISH PAIR-OAR EXPEDITION.—The following
extract from a French paper relates to the adventurous
voyagers of the Uudine, who are now making another
expedition :—Among the eccentricities to which our
English allies devote themselves we know of none more
decided than their passion for adventurous voyages. A
light pair-oar boat has just arrived at Chalons with three
gentlemen from Outre Manche, who are taking a voyage
of pleasure from Paris to Coblentz, by the Marne and
Moselle. Their boat is so narrow and light that they
easily accomplish eight kilometres an hour in remounting
the canal from the Marne to the Rhine. Their costume
gives rise to a number of conjectures as to their profes-
sion, and many people have believed that they voyage
by steam. When the weather is fine this method of
travelling is perhaps the most agreeable of any, for the
most picturesque scenes are undoubtedly those that
are met in the course of the rivers and canals. But dur-
ing the last three days our navigators have not been
fortunate, they will, indeed, escape coups de soleil ;
but they will find it difficult to preserve themselves from
cold. May the patron of sailors protect them !—From
L'Echo de L'lst.

ADMIRAL HAMELIN NOT AN IRISHMAN.—The Consti-
tutionnel contains a letter denying the truth of a state-
ment made in an Irish paper that Admiral Hamelin was
born in Ireland. " I can positively inform you," says
the writer of the letter, who is a relative of the admiral,
" that the present Admiral Hamelin, and his uncle, the
late Admiral Jacques-Fdlix Hamelin, grand officer of
the Legion of Honour, were both born at Honfleur
(Calvados), of a family known there front time imme-
morial."
AUSTRIA AND NEUTRAL FLAGS.—The Moniteur says :
—" The Austrian Government has replied to the com-
munication made to it by Baron de Bourqueney, of the
declaration of France and England relative to neutral
flags during the present war. Count de Buol expresses
the sincere satisfaction felt by the Cabinet of Vienna at
the liberal principles established by the two great
Powers, and announces as near at hand the publication
ab Vienna of a law destined to establish for that
empire the same rules of conduct."

THE SIEGE OF SILISTRIA.

A letter from Vienna, of the 7th, in Voss's
Gazette of Berlin, says :—" Reports received this
day at a foreign embassy, confirm the news of the
Turks having gained advantages over the Russians
near Silistria. The Turks, in fact, have been con-
querors on every point. The corps of General
Luders and Engelhardt have retired, and Rassowa
is no longer blockaded. It is not doubted that the
Russians will be forced to abandon the siege of
Silistria. Besides, the losses which they have sus-
tained, their gun-boats have been sunk by the guns
of the fortress. Mussa Paella iu a sortie took seven
guns, and drove back the Russians with a loss of
500 killed and 1,000 wounded. The wounded have
been conveyed to Bucharest.

[ADVEILTISEMENT.]—A most interestinz recovery from a vast com-
p' 'cation of diseases, without the aid of medicine, is rec zded in the
following letter:—

" Bridgehouse, Frimley, 3d April, 1854.
" Gratefill for the benefit I have derived from Du Barry's Reva.
lenta Arabica Food, I feel it m 3, duty to express to you my unfeigned
thanks for the invariable kindness I have met with at your hands.
My case is an extra,rdinary one, and as it may benefit ot'ier suf-
ferers I think it but right to place its details at your disposal. I
have suffered these 33 years continually from diseased lungs, spitting
of blood, liver derangements, deafness, singing in the ears. consti-
pation, debility, shortness of breath and cough, and during that
period taken so much medicine that I can safely say [ have laid out
upwards of a thousand pounds at the chemist's and doctor's. I have
actually worn out two medical men during my ailments without find-
ing any improvement in my health. Indeed I was in utter despair,
and never expected to get over it, when I was fortunate enough to
become acquainted with your Revalenta Arabica, which, Heaven be
praised, restored me to a state of health which long since despaired
of attaining. My lungs, liver, stomach, head, and ears are all right,
my hearing perfect, and my recovery is a marvel to all my acquain-
tances.-1 am, respectful!}, "JAMES ROBERTS, Wood Me chant."

THE 63D REGIMENT.

The service companies of this regiment will embark
at Queenstown, on Saturday, for Varna, in the Avon,
paddle-steamer, for Southampton.

68TH LIGHT INFANTRY.

MALTA, July 12.—The 68th Light Infantry, now
quartered at Malta, have received orders to proceed to
Gallipoli, to relieve the 4th Regiment, which proceeds to
Varna. The following order (by the way, as compli-
mentary and well deserved a one as a dashing set of fel-
lows could desire to read), was issued by Lieut. Colonel
H. Smith on the 7th :
"The commanding officer having received orders to
hold the regiment iu readiness for an immediate move to
the East, trusts the regiment will recollect the high
character it has always held, and that every one will do
his best to maintain that character. The old soldiers
must set the example to the young, and all must do
their duty.

" By cheerfulness and obedience to orders, under all
circumstances and difficulties, steady conduct on
.the
line of march and in quarters, and a determinationin
every one to keep up the credit and discipline of the
regiment, be feels confident that the happiness of every
one under his command will be increased, and the good
name which the regiment has gained will always be
maintained."

The Royal Horse Guards (Blue) will be inspected in
Windsor Great Park to-morrow (Friday) morning, by
Lieutenant-General Sir Joseph Thackwell, G.C.8.,
K.H., attended by a brilliant staff, and in the presence
of numerous officers in garrison at Windsor, Hounslow,
and London. This fine regiment of household cavalry
is understood to be in a high state of efficiency, and
ready to take active service at the shortest notice.
The wives and families of the soldiers belonging to
the 46th Regiment, to the number of more than 200,
have been sent from Windsor, preparatory to the
marching of the service companies for the seat of war in
the East. The day for the departure of the 46th has
not yet been fixed.
The final arrangements for the future garrison of
Windsor have now been decided upon. The Stafford-
shire Militia (King's Own), at present quartered at
Dover, will relieve the 46th, and continue at Windsor
for a month. The duty will then be taken for a similar
period by the Royal Bucks (King's Own) Militia, now
quartered at Weedon. At the latter end of September,

ROYAL OPERA, DRURY LANE.

Although the Sonnambula was performed last night,
for sixteenth time, by the Drury-lane operatic company,
it was Mr. Sims Reeves's first appearance as Elvino,
and the performance had all the attraction of a novelty.
The enthusiasm which greeted him throughout the opera
last evening must have satisfied all concerned in the
government of the theatre that a great mistake was com-
mitted in not before joining Mr. Sims Reeves's Elvino
to Mademoiselle Agnes Bury's Arnina.
Mr. Sims Reeves's Elvino may, we think, be ranked
with that of any Italian artist who has made himself
famous in the part. The music suits his voice even better,
perhaps, than that of Edgardo. There is more delicacy
and more pathos required for the former, and for both
of these qualities Mr. Sims Reeves's singing is remark-
able. The tenderness in the two duetts in the first act
last night could not be surpassed, while the passionate
grief in the scene where Elvino discovers Amina in the
Count's bedroom must have gone home to any heart.
Of course the emphatic hit of the evening was the famous
" Tutto b sciolto," which made the audience frantic with
delight ; but even the fine energy and grand vocalisation
displayed in that scena did not, to our thinking, surpass
the exquisite feeling of the " D'un pensiero" duet, half
htheearebres.auties of which were apparently lost upon the

The performance last night was one of great excite-
ment. Mr. Sims Reeves was called for, with Mdile.
Bury, four times during the evening.
The theatre was crowded in every part.

HARVEST PROSPECTS.

It would be a difficult tail (says the Essere Rerald)
to exaggerate the importance of the issues hanging
upon
the coming harvest. We turn thereto with mingledel-
ings of hope and fear; the former, however, greatly pre-
dominating, for up to the present th
progressing towards maturity very t? fa crops annear to be
and balmy atmosphere of the last ifsorttgli;nt:ahbThaeu en:seat:U:l
highly conducive to the well bloomingr and setting of the wheats. The fields look well, and
yield of corn. We feel warranted inp easresieeret
sel-
dom or never has the main produce of the F thatv
wheat, barley, and oats—at this time of year looaknedd—bette—",
or promised a more abundant harvest. The potato er
op
has proved good.—The Liverpool Standard says :
wheat plants in South Wales look healthy and stronhee,
and have, to a great extent, improved by the late falls of
rain ; and, should fine weather be vouchsafed, there is
every promiee of an abundant yield. The potato breadths
are noticed as looking very healthy, and great hope is
entertained that this year the blight will be escaped."
The cereal crops about Glasgow are reported by the
North, Briti.sh, Daily Mail as looking very healthy, and
potatoes indicate an abundant yield. In mid-Kent the
farmers still complain (says the South Eastern Gazette)
of the unfavourable state of the weather for almost every
description of crop except turnips, carrots, &c., which
are now growing luxuriantly. The wheat is looking
strong and healthy in most places, but from the large
quantity of rain which has fallen and the sodden state
ef•the ground the harvest will be late, and unless hot,
weather should shortly set in the quality
must. needs be greatly deteriorated. The Sussex
tertleer says : " Great efforts are being made by
Posen • of wheat to support prices, and they have
Poen in some degree assisted by the unsettled state of the
weather. .A, fine week or two of settled summer weather
would bring the question of price to a speedy issue, for
everywhere the accounts of the crops confirm—to the full
valuable but tractive articles of food." The Derby-

CITY, TWO o'CLOCK.

The sales of cotton at Liverpool yesterday
were estimated at 8,000 bales, including 1,500
American and 500 Surat taken for export and on
speculation. The market continued tame, but
steady, without alteration in prices. The sales
comprised 6,500 American, 200 Pernam and Ma-
ranham at bid. to 7id., 100 Bahia at 6d. to 6d.,
200 Egyptian at bid. to 9d., and 1,000 Surat at
21d. to 30. per lb. Railway Shares were dull.
Accounts from Hamburg of the 16th inst. state
that large amounts of gold had arrived there from
London, and been re-forwarded to St. Petersburg.
The advices from New York record two failures
in the Stock Market, where a panic had existed.
Flour was lower and wheat dull. Freights were
steady and engagements light. The forgeries of
Messrs. Schuyekill are stated to have amounted to
two million dollars, and have caused much excite-
ment among American Rail way Bondholders.
The meeting of the London Joint-Stock Bank
proprietors has been held this morning, and the
directors have made a very encouraging statement.
The dividend is at the rate of 10 per cent. per
annum. As regards the loss sustained by the late
forgeries of warehouse warrants, the Bank, it was
stated by the chairman, Mr. Goldney, had only lost
5,0001., which has already been "written off" the
profit and loss account. The following report was
