RETREAT OF THE RUSSIANS IN ASIA•

A letter from Constantinople, sth, in the 3109 i"
tear, says :—" Recent accounts received from liar;
announce that the enemy's troops who had occupied
Bayazid have evacuated that place, and that the
whole Russian army on the 17th ult. quitted the
position which it had taken up and retained after
the battle of Indje-Dero and recrossed the ArPait-
cha 1, marching on Alexandropol. The TurLs had,
it is said, formed a design to tempt the fate of arms
a second time, and this determination coming to the
ears of Prince Bebutoff, he doubtless thought that
the losses sustained by his troops in the engagement
of the sth would not allow him to accept another
battle. He probably also obeyed some orders 'which
had reached him from Tiflis caused by the presencc
of Schamyl in the neighbourhood of that place;
All accounts agree in saying that the appearance °'
that chief is connected with the operations of the
allied armies. Zarif Mustapha, Pacha, who had
been dismissed from his command, has been sum-
moned to Constantinople, where he will have I.°
give an account of his conduct, and of the motives
which led him to engage in the battle of badJe;
Dere, notwithstanding the orders he had receive"
to the contrary."

THE CARAVAN CAPTURED BY TSB
COSSACKS.
In a letter, which reached Constantinople on
the 27th ult. from Persia, it is stated that, W
on the
17th 17th ult., 300 Cossacks, with three pieces of
artillery, captured, between the quarantine 8a93°1
and the village of Diadin, and took into their ownterritory, a caravan from Persia, consisting of 213,2,e
horses laden with silk, tombeki, and other valuau'
goods, also with a number of money-bas, contill"
ing 50,000 half-imperials, or pols, in gold. The
precise value of the booty is, it is stated, not known'
but it is very considerable. When, it is adae
news of the capture of the caravan reached Brze-
roum, an express was sent off with orders to a cara-
van of 3,000 horses, which left that town on the
19th ult. for Persia to return.

LONDON, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 19, 1854.

We may now look forward each day to the
receipt of authentic intelligence from the Crimea.
Indeed rumours have already bc:m circulated
respecting the safe arrival and landing of the first
division of the Allied forces. We must, however,
caution the public against placing implicit reliance
on statements not completely substantiated, and
which may possibly have been framed for the
purpose of promoting the interested objects of the
parties by whom they are industriously circulated.
We must remember that " Bulls" as well as
" Bears" are not averse to assistance, obtained
from what our Continental brethren designate as
" Canards." The old proverb bath it—

" Quod volumus, facile credinius."

ABANDONMENT OF THE ERICSSON CALORIC PROJECT.
—The caloric engine invented by Captain Ericsson has
been finally abandoned, and is to be taken out of the
ship bearing his name, steam boilers being substituted.
From the beginning the result has been foreseen by
practical and scientific men, notwithstanding the alleged
complete success of the experiment.—North Amer can.
VULGAR SUPERSTITION.—A singular case of vulgar
superstition came to light atYeovil last week. Some men
were cleaning out the Ram Park pond, when a workman
named George Swatridge picked up a pickle-bottle con-
taining figures and signs which at once stamped it as a
levice of witchcraft. Three figures of the human body,
fashioned out of gutta percha and some other substance,
and stuck all over with black pins, were in the bottle.
There was writing at the back, denoting that the figures
were intended to represent persons named Roan, Mary
Millard or Roan (Mrs. Roan, to wit), and Trimby, and
that the artist consigned theca to " sudden destruction,
legal and moral," &c. The sign of the planet Saturn
was made on the breasts of these unfortunates. There
was also a flat piece of lead in the bottle, with
cyphering and other marks on it, no doubt f great
significance, but we don't know what. The men
whose effigies were treated in this way are police-
consthbles, and have probably in that capacity ren-
dered themselves obnoxious to some one, who deter•
mined to serve them out, with the devil's aid. Roan
has for some time been very ill, but has recovered since
the finding of the pickle bottle • which we understand
Mrs. R. and some other people think marvellous and
not to be laughed at. We must, however, do Roan
himself the justice to say that he assured us—when
he brought the apparatus to our sanctum for the further
elucidation of its import, which we were unable to
give that he did not consider himself to have been
under much jeopardy on its account. Sam erset
Gazette.

LUCIFER MAP:IM—It is stated in a recent work
that the manufacture of chemical matches occupiers
at Paris 10,000 workmen. Two preparers of wood for
matches cut each day, by machinery, one eight stems of
wood, and the other four. One establishment consumes
annually 1,200 kilogrammes of phosphorus ; and accord-
ing to M. Payen, that is scarcely the twentieth part of
the production Of phosphorus in France, and which is
chiefly used for the same purpose. According to that
estimate, internal consumption and exportation may be
set down as requiring a supply per day of 76,800,000
matches.

THE RUSSIAN RETREAT.

A letter from Bucharest in the Moniteur, states
that the Russians on quitting Ibrail laid hands on
all the stores of corn belonging to the town and to
private individuals. The Austrian merchants have
been very severe sufferers. After this act of spolia-
tion the town itself was given up to pillage.

The Oest. Correspondenz positively denies that
Priuco Gortschakoff notified to Feldzeugmeister
Hess any conditions on which the Principalities
would be evacuated, and adds,—" There has
been no communication, either official or non-
official, between the Prussian and Austrian corn'
mlders."

ARRIVAL OF THE LYNX AT PLYMOUTH.

The steam gun-boat Lynx, which left Woolwich on
Saturday evening at five o'clock, arrived at Plymouth on
Monday morning at ten o'clock. She was appointed to
complete her coal during Monday night, and to sail this
(Tuesday) morning with a mail for the Black Sea.

ADMIRAL BERKELEY'S VISIT TO SHEERNESS.
Rear-Admiral M. F. F. Berkeley, M.P., &c., paid an
official visit to Sheerness yesterday. He visited the
Devonshire and Benbow, receiving-ships for the Russian
prisoners. He was accompanied by Captain-Superinten-
dent J. J. Tucker and his suite of officers. The Black
Eagle left Sheerness with his Lordship at 3p.m. yesterday.

INTERPRETER TO THE RUSSIAN PRISONERS.
Mr. G. Hinchliffo, a late resident in St. Petersburg, is
the gentleman who has been appointed by the Admiralty as
interpreter on board the prison-ship Devonshire, at Sheer-
ness. The prisoners have the entire range from the "knight-
heads" to the tafrail, and do not abuse their indulgence.
They are perfectly obedient to a request made, and very
respectful. They appear to appreciate the confidence placed
in them, and all strive to make themselves useful about the
docks when required. Divine service was performed on
board the Devonshire on Sunday ; Lieutenant-Com-
mander J. H. Lloyd officiated. A number of the prisoners
have been supplied with the Old and New Testaments
by Mr. Joseph D. Hahn, missionary to the British and
Foreign Sailors' Society. The prisoners seemed fully to
appreciate the service. They separated in a most orderly
manner—men, women, and children. No cases of siekness
have broken out. The change of food (from salt provision
to fresh, with the cleanliness carried out promptly by the
officers, and willingly put in practice by the prisoners)
have very much improved their health.

MAN KILLED ON THE MIDLAND RAILWAY.—On Friday
afternoon a young man, apparently about 23 years of
age, whose name we have not ascertained, was killed on
tho line of the Midland Railway at Swinton. The de-
ceased, who was dressed as a sportsman, and had a dog
with him, was corning up on the line towards Sheffield,
when finding the train did not stay at Swinton, he en-
deavoured to jump out, and his head coming in contact
with a covered shed in that locality it was driven com-
pletely through, and the man was killed on the spot.
[ADVERTISEMENT.] —Holloway's Pills a certain Cure
for Pains in the Head and Stomach.—Miss Sarah Har-
graves, of 3, Hewson-street, Carlisle, states, in a letter
to Professor Holloway, dated September 10, 1853, that
she was afflicted for a number of years with severe pains
in the head and stomach, dizziness, weakness in the
eyes, and the other usual disagreeable accompaniments
of a disorganised system. She tried every known
remedy, and had the best medical advice, but derived
ne benefit whatever. At last she resolved to give Hol-
loway's Pills a trial, and, after using them for a short
time, she was restored to perfect health, which she
enjoys uninterruptedly to the present time. Sold by all
druggists, and at Professor Nolloways establislitnent,
244, Strand, London.
London, England, 1854-09-19

CONSTANTINOPLE.

Letters from Constantinople of the 10th bring
no further news of the progress of the expedition,
except that it was progressing favourably to its
destination.

We hear that if the fresh levy of 60,000 men be
not raised by the first week in October, the Porte
will call upon its Christian subjects to enlist.
The Golden Fleece came in on the 4th, and
almost immediately proceeded to the Black Sea.
Not a British ship or transport is left in the Bos-
phorus.
A Hatti-Scheriff has been promulgated, denounc-
ing the venality of certain functionaries, and direct-
ing a better execution of the laws.
The unusually cool weather which has set in, ac-
companied by a sharp north wind, has given every-
thing a very wintry look during the last few days,
and will, it is feared, have ruffled the surface of
the Black Sea, on which so many thousands of our
countrymen and brave allies are at this moment
sailing towards the seat of Russian power in the
East--Sebastopol. At the same time, this sharp
breeze from the north has effectually purged the
air, as all remains of chOlera have disappeared
both from the shores of the Euxine and the
Bosphorus.
_ _

Lord de Ros and Captain Walsh, his aide-de-
camp, are still at Buyukdere. The state of their
health will, it is feared, oblige them to return to
England. There are still a considerable number of
officers staying here to recruit their strength.
The official news received at Trebizond con-
firms the descent of Schamyl into Georgia, at
the head of 16,000 cavalry, the burning of 200
villages, the capture of 40 Russian ladies, and
that he had encamped in the mountains only 25
miles from Tiflis.
London, England, 1854-09-19

But even were it otherwise, could the dozen or
two of reprobates be converted into respectable
characters, the rather extravagant presumption
which the "MAwwoßMs" and "CANTWELLS" expect
us to credit, why should it be at the expense of their
thrifty and well-disposed brethren ? Is it because
they will abuse the bounties of PROVIDENCE that
these gifts are to be withheld from their inoffen-
sive neighbours ? Most decidedly not. If there
be an infraction of the law, and drunkenness is a
statutable offence, let it be punished with the ut-
most severity, but do not because such a thing
is possible ; debar from needful and wholesome re-
freshment those who would take it in moderation.
Let us look, then, to the creators and producers
of national wealth rather than to the law-breakers.
Correct the latter when they require it, but do not
on their account vex and torment the respectable
and useful members of society, the bees in the
social hive.
London, England, 1854-09-19

NEW DRESS FOR STAFF OFFICERS.

The Queen, on Friday last, decided on the new dress of
staff officers. Henceforward tho staff officers, such as ad-
jutant-generals, quartermaster-generals, &c., will wear a

Colonel Cator, recently serving as Brigadier-General of
the Royal Artillery in Turkey ; Lieutenant-Colonel Flude
recently serving in command of a division of Royal Artil-
lery under Brigadier-General Cator ; and Captain Dennis
W. P. Beresford, serving as A ide-de-camp to Brigadier-
General Cator, have arrived in the garrison at Woolwich
from the seat of war in the East, having returned, owing
to their bad health.

The right wing of the 94th regiment arrived at Graves-
end on Friday, and proceeded to Stroud, where they were
met by the commanding officer and officers of the regiment
who came from Chatham to Stroh(' to welcome them
home. The right wing consisted of the Grenadiers, and
Nos. 3,4, and 6 companies.

A party, consisting of 108 women and 118 children, be-
longing to the 68th and other regiments now at the seat of
war in the East, arrived at Chatham on Saturday, and
Major Smith, Barrack Master, provided them with accom-
modation in St. Mary's barracks, where they will remain
until they can be forwarded to their respective homes.
They are to be sent home by the Paymaster of Invalids at
the public expense.
The depot of the 92d Highlanders has received orders to
increase the draught at Cork, awaiting embarkation for
Gibraltar, from 72 to 100 rank and file.
Major-General Eden, the present Deputy Adjutant-Ge-

being continued in command of the Belfast district to the
Ist of July next.

CONSTANTINOPLE.

Letters from Constantinople of the 10th bring
no further news of the progress of the expedition,
except that it was progressing favourably to its
destination.

We hear that if the fresh levy of 60,000 men be
not raised by the first week in October, the Porte
will call upon its Christian subjects to enlist.

The Golden Fleece came in on the 4th, and
almost immediately proceeded to the Black Sea.
Not a British ship or transport is left in the Bos-
phorus.
A Hatti-Scheriff has been promulgated, denounc-
ing the venality of certain functionaries, and direct-
ing a better execution of the laws.

The utlusually cool weather which has set in, ac-
companied by a sharp north wind, has given every-
thing a very wintry look during the last few days,
and will, it is feared, have ruffled the surface of
the Black Sea, on which so many thousands of our
countrymen and brave allies aro at this moment
sailing towards the seat of Russian power in the
East—Sebastopol. At the same time, this sharp
breeze from the north has effectually purged the
air, as all remains of cholera have disappeared
both from the shores of the Euxine and the
Bosphorus.
Lord de Ros and Captain Walsh, his aide-de-
camp, are still at Buyukdere. The state of their
health will, it is feared, oblige them to return to
England. There are still a considerable number of
officers staying here to recruit their strength.
The official news received at Trebizond con-
firms the descent of Schamyl into Georgia, at
the head of 16,000 cavalry, the burning of 200

villages, the capture of 40 Russian ladies, and
that he had encamped in the mountains only 25
miles from Tiflis.

MAN KILLED ON THE MIDLAND RAILWAT.—On Friday
afternoon a young man, apparently about 23 years of
age, whose name we have not ascertained, was killed on
the line of the Midland Railway at Swinton. The de-
ceased, who was dressed as a sportsman, and bad a dog
with him, was corning up on the line towards Sheffield,
when finding the train did not stay at Swinton, he en-
deavoured to jump out, and his head coming in contact
with a covered shed in that locality it was driven com-
pletely through, and the man was killed on the spot.
[ADVERTISEMENT.]--Holloway's Pills a certain Cure
for Pains in the Head and Stomach.—Miss Sarah Har-
graves, of 3, Hewson-street, Carlisle, states, in a letter
to Professor Holloway, dated September 10, 1853, that
she was afflicted for a number of years with severe pains
in the head and stomach, dizziness, weakness in the
eyes, and the other usual disagreeable accompaniments
of a disorganised system. She tried every known
remedy, and had the best medical advice, but derived
no benefit whatever. At last she resolved to give Hol-
loway's Pills a trial, and, after using them for a short
time, she was restored to perfect health, which she
enjoys uninterruptedly to the present time. Sold by all
druggists, and at Professor liolloway's establishment,

THE INAUGURATION.

As eleven o'clock approached, the arrivals of carriages,
filled with elegantly-dressed ladies and gentlemen, became
more numerous than at any other period of the morning,
but as every seat had been numbered no difficulty could
be experienced in obtaining proper places. There had
been upwards of 2,000 tickets disposed of and balloted for
the ground floor, but the arrangements which had been
made.being so perfect not the slightest confusion was ob-
served. The orchestra was entirely filled with vocalists,
the number in all being 400 performers. They were ranged
on elevated seats, rising on both aid, s nearly to the ceil-
ing. Sir H. Bishop was the conductor. About a quarter
to eleven o'clock, Madame Clara Novello, Madame Castel-
lan, and Herr Formes took their seats in front of the band;
they were shortly afterwards followed by Sir H. Bishop,
and Mr. Sims Reeves, and Mr. Weiss, all of whom were
loudly cheeped.
The splendid statues of Sir R. Peel and Stephenson were
then uncovered, and much cheering was the result.
The mace-bearers then appeared at the grand entrance,
followed by the worshipful the mayor, J. B. Lloyd, Esq.,
with whom was the Earl of Sefton, in the uniform of Lord-
Lieutenant of the county palatine; T. B. Horsfall, Esq.,
M.P., W. Brown, Esq., M.P., the Lord Bishop of Chester,
the Town-clerk, T. Shuttleworth, Esq. ; the Recorder, G.
Henderson, Esq., clerk of the peace, &c. ; together with
the aldermen and councillors of the borough. On their
arrival Dr. S. Wesley, who presided at the organ, played
" God save the Queen," Mr. Sims Reeves and Madame No-
vello taking the solos. The effect was thrilling.
On the conclusion of the anthem a very impressive
prayer was offered up by the Lord Bishop of Chester, in-
voking the blessing of Providence upon the hall, praying
that justice should be administered fairly, at the same
time tempered with mercy, and that under its roof arts
and science should be fostered and encouraged. At the
termination of the prayer,
The Mayor, in a loud tone, said—ln the name of the
mayor, aldermen, and corporation of this ancient and loyal
borough, I proclaim this hall now open, and hereafter all
public meetings convened by the mayor will be held here,
The hall will also be used for other public purposes upon
the sanction of the council of the borough.
This concluded the proceedings of the inauguration.

IR ELAND.

ATTEMPT TO lIPSiT AN EXCURSION
TRAIN.

DUBLIN, MONDAY.
Full confirmation has arrived of a diabolical attempt
to upset a railway excursion train from Londonderry to
Enniskillen, on Friday night.

There were 800 persons in the train, including the
Earl of Enniskillen, the Hon. and Rev. C. C. Maude,
and several clergymen of the Established Church.

One of the engine-drivers was killed ; another had his
leg broken ; and the Earl of Enniskillen received some
contusions.

The upset of the engine was caused by large blocks
of stones.

The excursionists belonged to a Protestant associa-
tion, and had dined at Aerry.
The coroner is now holding an inquest.
Lord Londonderry has offered a reward of five hun-
dred pounds for the discovery of the miscreants con-
cerned in this horrible outrage.
London, England, 1854-09-19

NEWS FROM SEBASTOPOL ?

Scientific military men have been at some pains
to find out how soon it is possible to have news of
the arrival of the expedition at Sebastopol, and the
following is the result of their calculations. Ar-
rangements have been made that fast steamers shall
convey the news to Kostendje, where tatars will
be kept in waiting to convey the despatch by way
of Czernavoda, Slobosia, and Plojeschti, to Cron-
stadt. The intelligence will then be telegraphed on
to Vienna. Sebastopol may be some 250 English
miles from Kostendje, and a fast steamer might
accomplish the distance in 24 hours. The distance
between Kostendje and Cronstadt may be about
200 English miles, and, as the tatars ride at the rate
of about nine English miles an hour, the land
journey might very well be accomplished within 26
or 30 hours. If the expedition reached the Crimea
by the 13th, we ought, according to our calcula-
tions, to receive news of its arrival on the 16th or
17th.

ANOTHER .A.1170111.4LY OF THE BEER ACT.

The framers of the Beer Act were compelled to make
this concession to common sense that parties who
could only obtain the sustenance necessary to support
nature at public houses should, under certain restrictions,
be allowed to receive refreshments in public houses on
Sunday. It was assumed that the designation, " tra-
vellers" would cover all the varieties of individuals
composing this class. Unluckily it does not. A few
weeks ago a publican in the vicinity of
.Smithfield was
placed at the bar of a police-court, charged with selling ,
refreshments at an early hour on Monday morning.
It turned out that the parties served were drovers ;
and as their labour consists in great part in moving
backwards and forwards alon,, the roads, they were
held to be travellers, and the publican escaped. Last
week the landlord of a public-house in Blackwall was
brought before a magistrate under a charge similar to
,that which had been made against his Smithfield brother.
The parties, however, the Blackwall publican had served
early on a Monday morning
dockyard labourers ; dockyard labourers cannot well be

dockyard labourers is perfectly identical. Both are
compelled to labour at night--both have .to labour at
a distance from their homes—both require refreshments
world is 444eeP ; and both
at hours when most of the
can only procure those refreshments at a house
of public entertainment. But the drovers come from
the country to the town—and the dockyard labourers
only pass from one part of an overgrown metropolis to
the other. It is, therefore, held that in the sense (or
non-sense) of the Act, the former are travellers, and the
latter not. And as the egregious framers of the Act
have only conceded to common sense and common hu.
manity in the case of travellers, the dock-yard labourers,
compelled to toil under cloud of night, in all weathers,
amidst river sludge, are to be denied their necessary
refreshments. .Thirt the necessary consequence of a law
enacted to compel the working classes to certain out-
ward formal observances of days and seasons, by men
who know nothing of the times and modes of labour
which the necessities of the poor compel them to adopt.
The Pharisees of our drawing-rooms and saloons ought,
before they are allowed to hamper and annoy the honest
poor by their enactments, to be compelled to share for a
season in the labours of the poor, in order that they
might have some conception of the privations which they
entail upon their victims, and the possible consequences
of such privations.—Daily News.

REMUNERATION Oltr SHORTHAND WRITERS AS WITNES-
SES.—In the Colchcstei County Court, a few days ago,
Mr. Thos.Ralling, a shorthand writer, brought an action
against Messrs. Abell and Jones, solicitors, of Colches-
ter, for three guineas for three dap? attendance as a wit-
ness at the examination and trial of Thomas Scott, for
perjury. Mr. Jones, in defence, said that they did not
dispute Mr. Railing's three days' attendance, but consi-
dered his charges exorbitant, and that all that a reporter
was entitled to as a witness was 4s. 6d. a day. Mr. T.
Moy and Mr. Joseph Merrells, reporters on local jour-
ma's, proved that they had been similarly employed to
take shorthand notes, and had always been paid a guinea
a day at assizes, which was considered a fair and reason-
able remuneration. His Honour, after characterising
the occupation of a shorthand writer as one of a pe-
culiarly difficult and arduous description, and which
deserved to be liberally remunerated, gave judg-
ment for two guineas, for two days' attendance at the
assizes, and 7s. 6d. fir the day before the magistrates—
the latter sum being all that could be legally p 044 at that
preliminary inquiry,--C dmsford Chronicle,
