MISCELLANEOUS.

The Colonne of Boulogne-sur-Mer say :—" We
have received satisfactory information as to the
sanitary state of camps. The average number
of sick is said to be lower than that of mili-
tary garrisons in the interior of the country.
Measures are taken to render the position of the
troops as little disagreeable as possible. With this
view, all sorts of establishments are encouraged. It
is said that several theatres are to be constructed in
the camps, and that a regular company is to play
in them. The names of persons who are soliciting
the honour of being appointed directors of the
theatres are mentioned ; one of them M. Chevalier,
is now at Paris on the subject. We are assured
that the theatres which are to be in the camps of
Boulogne and tielfaut have been ordered to be built
by the Emperor himself, and that his Majesty will
pay the expenses. It is added, that they will be
in iron, and will be brought over ready-made from
the large manufactories in England."
The Hamburg Correspondent, under date of
Theresiedstadt in Hungary, 14th inst., says
Numerous arrests have recently been made of
landowners, ecclesiastics and avocals, some in
this neighbourhood, and others in the districts
of Fuufkirchen, Melique, Dorsma, Keshemet, and
Perth. The number altogether amounts to 100,
and among them are several amnestied political
offenders. It is not yet known with any cer-
tainty what crime they are accused of, but as
Graffel and Theiss are among them, the most pro-
bable story is that they have been found to be
in correspondence with the emigrants in England,
and have been engaged in the organisation of re-
volutionary committees. Some arrests are also
said to have been made in Bohemia."
A letter from Rome of the 13th, in the Par-
lamento of Turin, announces that the prisoners
lately condemned to death for high treason,
namely, Petroni, Romiti, Ruiz, Rosselli, and,
Casciani, as also Lepri, condemned to imprison-
ment for life, have appealed against their sentence,
and that the ease is to be heard on the 15th of
next month.

against the Allies, but without success.

The works of the English army advanced steadily
with those of the French. The weather, for a short

time very severe, was again fine.

Another despatch from Constantinople, of the
18th, gives details from Sebastopol to the fsth.
The batteries were to open fire in conjunction with
the fleet upon the 17th. The general state of affairs
was satisfactory, and the health of the troops ex-
cellent. The Moniteur goes on with the Russian
bulletin of the siege operations of the 17th and
18th, announcing the death cf Admiral Kornileff,
and the loss of 500 killed and wounded.

The Moniteur publishes a letter flora the E►n-
peror to Madame St. Arnaud, awarding her a
pension of 20,000 f. as a national recompense.

VIENNA, w - EDNESDAY, 8 A. 74

Advises from Constantinople state that there
is no truth in the report that Eupatoria has been

retaken by the Russians.

A rumour prevailed in the camp on the 11th
that the Simpheropol army would attack it; and
that the Greeks in Balaklava would, at the same

time set fire to the town.

All the Greeks were therefore forced to qui

Balaklava.

A despatch from Berlin, dated last night,
repeats the intelligence respecting the bombard-

ment of Sebastopol almost in the same terms as
we published yesterday, and adds that M. von
Beust had arrived and Count Esterhazy returned

to that city.

The following was received in Paris yester•

day :

CONSTANTINOPLE, OCT. 15

We have intelligence from the Crimea up to the

13th.

It was intended to keep up the bombardment
for four days, and then to carry the place by

storm.

The spirits of the allied armies were excellent.
The Porte raises the effective of the Turkish

force in the Crimea to 30,000, starting in suc-
cessive convoys from Varna and Constantinople.
No fresh Russian troops had appeared in the

Crimea.

Heavy rains render the march of Russian

reinforcements difficult.

The Russians are keeping Ibraila and Matchin,
on the right of the Lower Danube, and have

reinforced those garrisons.

THE BALTIC.

KIEL, OCT. 24

Her Majesty's screw steam-ship St. Jean

d'Acre, 101, has arrived as the precursor of Sir

Charles Napier's squadron.
The St. Jean d'Acre has been on shore a

he islaud of Febmern, but is not damaged.
Sir Charles Napier is expected here to

morrow.

MILITARY.

As stated in The Sun of yesterday, the 72d High.
Landers disembarked on Tuesday at Kingstown harbour.
The Alps steamer, with the regiment on board, arrived
at 1 o'clock the same morning, but the troops, of course,
remained on board until daylight, and at 10 o'clock they
proceeded by train to Dublin. It is reported that they
,-are destined for immediate service in the East. Even
among the "picked" of the Highland regiments it
would be difficult to find a finer body of men than the
"Duke of Albany's." There is net apparently among
the privet, s a man whose stature does not exceed 5 feet
7 inches; the average height of the whole corps ranging,
perhaps. between 5 feet 9 inches and 5 feet 10 inches.
After disembarking, the regiment marched through
Dublin, en, route to the railway station at Kingsbridge,
and, to judge by their appearance and bearing, one
would be led to suppose that they had just turned fresh
out of barracks for the purpose of inspection, instead of
being but a few hours released from a transport-ship,
with all the hardships incidental to a voyage across the
Atlantic. The 72d wear the "trews," but the head•
dress is the same as the 42d and the other kilted regi-
ments.

CAPTAIN A. MACDONALD.—A. report bas been circu-
lated in Kilkenny for the past few days that this officer
had died of his wounds in the Crimea. We (Moderator)
are happyito be enabled to contradict this rumour, which
arose from one of the deceased officers having borne the
same family name. Captain Macdonald was progressing
most favourably, as appears by the following character•
istic remark of his gallant father, Lieutenant-General
Macdonald, in a letter just received by E. Smitwick,
Esq. : - "I have had good accounts of my two sons in
the Crimea. The eldest was able to keep the field, and
his wound was doing well when he last wrote on the
28th of September—probably better than if be had
allowed himself to be packed off with the others to Con-
stantinople. Besides, there are hard knocks and much
work yet before them, and I must only trust that vie-
tory may attend them, and my boys be spared."

THE VACANCIES IN THE• BLACK SEA FLEET.

So much progress have the "lads" made in the Illus.
trious, 46, training-ship, at Portsmouth, under the able
tuition of Captain Harris, that the Board of Admiralty
have ordered the death vacancies in the Black Sea fleet to
be made good from the Illustrious. The best of course
will be sent to the most active ships, and between 300 and
400 will be thus disposed of, and will do credit to their in-
st.

,ructor.
Several fine lads have daily gone on board the Illus-
trious, and it has been often proved that the " farmer's
boy" makes the best sailor.
"1111. S. -, Varna, Aug. 19.

"The malady among some of the ships in the fleet has,
I regret to say, been fearful up to the present date. The
Britannia, Albion, Trafalgar, and Furious have suffered
severely. We have, I rejoice to tell you, had but six cases,
four of which proved fatal. I trust we may improve daily,
as sickness is on the decline. Some of the ships are at sea
still, others with the flag-ship at Baltchik. The steamers,
under command of Sir E. Lyons, are concentrating here.
Troops continue to arrive, and report says we are to com-
mence the grand embarkation on the 21st inst. Whether
Sebastopol and the Crimea are the first objects of attack is
not known—some say one place, some another, but time
will shortly place the matter beyond a doubt, and I thi
by the Ist of September we shall be fully occupied. I a
fearful, with our present amount of troops, it may not ter
minate so speedily as we desire. We must do our duty,
and trust to an overruling Providence for the result. I
shall write you again, should an opportunity offer, if but
a few lines, to tell you of our destination. It is dreadfully
hot here, and we shall all be glad to get away ; any change
almost would be preferable to our present monotonous
life. Both army and navy are anxious to bring affairs to
a conclusion as soon as possible, and, if it is to be under-
taken this year, it must be without delay, is the present
opinion."
London, England, 1854-09-04

STEAMERS IN COMMISSION.'

The total number of screw and paddlewheel steam-ships
now in commission in her Majesty's service is 143; of sail-
ing vessels, 108—making a total of 251.

MAIL FOR THE BALTIC.

The mail for the Baltic fleet will be made up and for-
warded, via Belgium and Dantzie, to-morrow evening. The
postage must be paid in advance.

A letter received at Plymouth from the Dido, 18, Capt.
Moorshead, dated Panama, ... alp 30, says--" We have
lately arrived here with a freight of 600,000 dols. All is
landed here excepting 130,000 dole. for England, by the
Horn." The Dido does not return home for the present.
She sails for Valparaiso.

THE PRISON SHIPS.

The arrival of the Hannibal, Algiers, and Dauntless with
the British portion of the prisoners of war taken at Bomar-
sund has been hourly expected during the last three days
at Sheerness, but they have not yet made their appearance.
Besides the Benbow and Devonshire, the Black Prince,
the Poictiers, and the Wellington, have been commissioned
to serve as prison ships, though the two former will supply
ample accommodation for the present batch.
The Commander-in-Chief on Friday last visited the
Devonshire and Benbow, to inspect them previous to the
arrival of the prisoners from the Aland Islands. The gal-
lant Admiral want minutely through every department,
and his inquiries were most particular as to the arrange
ments made for the comfort of the prisoners.
The Benbow has been fitted and victualled under the
superintendence of the commander and officers of the
Devonshire. The guards on board the Devonshire have
their arms and clothing served out. They are supplied with
rifles and two suits of clothing of very neat and soldierlike
design. The senior sergeants are to have 3s. Gd. per day,
junior serjeants 35., corporals 2s. Gd., and privates 2s. per
day, added to their pensions, and they are to receive
their pay monthly. This arrangement has given very great
satisfaction to them, as most of them when called on to
serve were obtaining from 14s. to 21s. per week.
The barrack prison at Milbay is ordered to be prepared
for the reception of Russian prisoners.

THE NEW STEAM-SHIP CONQUEROR.

In No. 5 slip, Devonport Dockyard, the orlop deck beams
of the screw steam-ship Conqueror, 120, are in their place,
and it is intended that she shall be launched early next
year. In No. 3 slip the blocks are laid far the frigate Liffey.

TRIAL OF THE BEAGLE.

- The Beagle screw steam-despatch gun-boat, Lieutenant-
Commander Here, was taken out of Woolwich basin on
Saturday evening, and left yesterday morning at 10 o'clock
for Greenhithe, having on board Lieutenant-Commander
Luce, of the Lynx screw steam-despatch gun-boat ; Mr.
Taplit., second-assistant to the chief engineer at Woolwich
Dockyaltt; Bir:- Harding, inspector 9f shipwrights k Mr..
Tennant, of the firm of Humphrys, Tennant, and tylcbi,
the constructors of her engines ; and Mr. Dykes, to su-
perintend their working ou their first trial. Mr. Dykes
proceeds round to Falmouth in .her, the only port at
which she is to touch on her passage to the Black Sea.
The Beagle, although manned entirely by a newly-
raised crew, presented a remarkably clean and neat
appearance. The engines of the Beagle are very com-
pact, and worked to the entire satisfaction of Mr.
Taplin and all on board. Although not down to her water-
line, as she had to take her powder in at Greenhithe,
she sits remarkably upright in the water, and did not yield
in the least degree to the strong fresh breeze that was
blowing when she passed through Long Reach. The time
was not officially taken at the measured mil a at Long
Reach, as it was intended to make several runs, and take
the average of her speed at the measured mile at the
Lower Hope, in the afternoon. It was evident, however,
that she will attain an average speed of about 11 knots per
hour, as, although her engines were not working up to
their full number of revolutions on their first trial, she
passed over more than 12 miles distance in going down the
river within the hour.

TRANSPORT SERVICE.

In consequence of the vast increase of business in the
victualling and transport service of the Admiralty, a new
branch to that department has beenfound absolutely neces-
sary. It is understood Mr. Leyburu will be its head,
assisted by 23 clerks.

The London, hired transport screw steam-vessel, arrived
off the Royal Arsenal yesterday, at 10 o'clock a.m., and at
half-past 10, Capt. Cleaveland's company, 12th battaliOn,
Royal Artillery, under orders for Malta, and the large de-
tachments for Gibraltar, Malta, and Corfu, to fill up the
companies at those stations, marched from the garrison to
the Royal Arsenal, and immediately embarked in her for
conveyance to their destination. She was to leave Wool-
wich last evening.

Two troop-ships bound up Channel reached in towards
Plymouth Sound on Sunday morning,

The troop-ship Bury St. Edmund's, from Madras, landed
Lieut. Saunders, 84th Regiment, and a small mail at Fal-
mouth on Friday.

ROYAL ARTILLERY.

170 men of the 3d battalion of the Royal Artillery,
under the command of Capt. Marriott, have left Woolwich
for Horfield. Barracks, near Bristol. 80 horses, with a
portion of the men, will not arrive until the Bth of Sep-
tember, as it will take that time to travel down. The
guns at Horfield Barracks, which were brought down about
12 months ago, will bo handed over by Lieutenant Mil-
man, who, with 20 men, has had charge of them since the
departure of the 13th battalion.

THE ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.

The Electric Telegraph Company have lately supplied
the Government with a very complete and portable set of
electric telegraph apparatus, adapted for use in the field,
to accompany the munitions sent out to the East, where
it will doubtless prove a valuable auxiliary to the service.

It consists of two waggons, each containing a complete
set of instruments, batteries, and telegraphic apparatus,
and a sufficient supply of insulated wire, to establish at a
moment's notice a telegraph communication to a distance
of 10'or 12 miles either on land or under water. Each
waggon is intended to be drawn by six horses, and to be
accompanied by a staff of mounted officers and men, and
Sappers and Miners are now being educated for that duty
at tho company's central station, at Lothbury, and have
already acquired great proficiency in the use of the signal
instruments. Tho appliances for laying out the wire over
irregular ground, and through marshes and rivers, are very
ingenious, and the instruments are so thoroughly portable
that after being shifted from place to place they can be
fixed in working order in a few seconds.

For communications by day and night between distant
points, such as the banks of a river, a distant outpost, or
battery in entrenchments, between vessels at sea, and
especially between the fleet and the shore, this novel auxi-
liary will doubtless prove of the highest utility.

PRUSSIA.

English and French journals having asserted that
Prussia derives great profits from her eastern ports,
from their being the solo medium for :traffic with
Russia, the Ministerial Correspondence publishes
an article in order to refute this assertion, The

following is the view taken of the question by the
semi-official organ :
" We will leave at rest the question of whether it be
or be not a bad example for a State which remains at
peace to enrich itself at the cost of two belligerent par-
ties, but we think we may confidently assert that the
insignificant advantages which the commercial traffic'of
Memel and the flax industry of East Prussia may derive
from the present conjuncture is not in any way propor-
tionate to the prejudice which is entailed by the stagna-
tion of regular traffic on Prussia generally, as well as
upon all other European States. We also venture to
observe that the best means of procuring hemp and flax
more cheaply for English and French markets would be
to induce the western governments to deviate from their
liberal principles, which, according to all probability,
were not adopted in order to favour their own interests,
nor those of Prussia."

M. de Manteuffel returned this afternoon (Sep-
tember 1) from Putbus, but did not receive any of
the diplomatic corps who waited upon him during
the course of the evening.
The money market was much depressed, and
securities of all kinds had a downard tendency, re-
sulting, as generally reported, from apprehensions
that the position of this country is rendered less
favourable by the despatches entrusted to Count
Benkendorf.

According to the Swabian Mercury, M. de
Brunow has taken a large house at Darmstadt, and
intends passing the winter at that place. It has
been frequently remarked with surprise that
neither M. de Brunow nor M. de Kisseleff should
have returned to St. Petersburg. Whether this
proceeds from disgrace or diplomatic art no one
knows.

STATE OP TRADE.

(From the Afanch,ester Guardian of Saturday.)
MANCHESTER, Sept. I.—The overstocked condition of
some of the most important foreign markets is a great
restraint upon the demand for yarns and goods ; and
yet the India rmerchants have ventured upon con-
siderable speculative purchases of certain descriptions
of goods, principally low 38•inch3 skirtings. The in-
dpurocsepmeecnttnioswthoepeenxicnegedingly low value to which these
fabrics have fallen, aided by the better. generalrem

OMER PACHA AT BUCHAREST.

BUCHAREST, Aug. 22.—Omer Pacha made his
triumphal entry into Bucharest this morning,
escorted by a regiment of Turkish cavalry, and pre-
ceded by a body of Wallach Lancers. Both the
Turkish and Wallazhian troops lined the way for a
considerable distance inside the gate. All the
trades turned out with their banners, the whole
population put on holiday attire, and cro ded the
windows or filled the streets. Bouquets were flung
into the generalissimo's carriage in showers, and
there was some cheering, but very faint. The
Wallachians know not how to cheer. Omer Pacha
was dressed in full uniform, as I have described
him at the review at Varna, and was seated in a
carriage with the Minister of the Interior Prince
Cantacuzene.

Twenty thousand men, infantry, cavalry, and ar.
tillery, are being reviewed outside the town.

The Simla has taken the 4th Foot from Gallipoli

the preparations for the expedition continued.

PAYMASTER-GENERAL'S DEPARTMENT.

It is rumoured that all the branch offices at the several
outports are to be abolished, and the clerks recalled to
Somerset House. The new- system of payment of seamen's
wages relieves the local branches of this duty, as the men
will now be paid monthly by the paymasters of their re-
spective ships. How the other portion of the duties is to
be performed it is not said, except that the storekeeper's
department will pay the salaried ofaeas and pensioners
from the dockyard, and that the seamen pensioners will be
paid together with and as the army pensioners are now
paid.

KEY114131.-17pward s of 30 fitters, braziers, boiler-makers,
&c., are at present actively employed under the direction
of Mr. Trickett, the resident engineer, who is authorised
to make such additions to his department as the service
'nay require. It is expected on the return of the fleet a
large number of men will be employed. _ _

DEVONPORT DOCKYARD.—An addition is to be made to
the boatswains' department, by the entry of a number of
Labourers, the present strength being insufficient.

ADVANCE OF THE AUSTRIANS.

According to advices of the 23d ult., received at
Vienna, the Austrian troops had advanced into
Wallachia as far as Kimpolung, and that a detach-
ment of them was expected at Slatina on the 28th ;
so also upon the road leading direct to Bucharest
the imperial troops had reached Ursey, and they
were positively to arrive at the Wallachian capital
by the sth of September, where a brilliant recep-
tion is being prepared for them.
A letter from Orsova says :—" The Albert
steamer arrived here last night from Giurgevo,
with news to the 27th. It was affirmed there that
the Russians were reinforcing themselves at Ibraila
and Fockshani. Nothing was known of the evacu-
ation of Galatz."

SEEDS.

As yet, only a moderate business has been transacted in

is less inquiry for cakes, the value of which has a down-
ward tendency.

We have received intelligence from Varna, under
date August 21. The Britannia bad sent all her
men in transports to Baltchick, and had been
cleaned and fumigated.

The cholera is abating in both armies and fleets.
No movement had taken place, except that the
French were embarking fapines, gabions, and ar-
tillery.

The Artillery weretexereised daily in ball prac-
tice on board boats, and in embarking and disem-
barking.

AUSTRIA.

' VIENNA, Aug. 29.—We take the following from
the Wanderer of the above date :—" From various
quarters a pretended reply from the cabinet of St.
Petersburgh has been spoken of, and it has been
said to have been transmitted to Vienna and Ber
lin. We can affirm from good authority that up
to the present time neither the Russian Ambassa-
dor nor the Minister of Foreign Affairs has received
anything from St. Petersburgh having any connec-
tion with such a reply. The real answer is not
expected here before the 10th of September.
It is
certain that the Russian diplomatist persists in
stating that the Czar will not accept the propositions.
It was said to-day that the negotiations pending be-
tween Austria and Prussia related to two points : Ist,
an additional article to be added to the treaty of
April 20 ; and 2dly, the precise explanation of the
demands made by the Western Powers, and the
measures of execution which they require. It is
affirmed from a good source that the ambassadors
of some of the German states have lately sent in
very satisfactory overtures to the Minister of Foreign
Affairs relative to the question of the guarantees to
be demanded from Russia. Amongst them are
representatives of states which formed part of the
conference of Bamberg."
The Turkish ambassador at the Court of Berlin,
Kiamil Effendi, left Vienna to-day (the 31st). His
excellency will remain a short time at Dresden,
and then proceed to Berlin.
General Setang arrived at Vienna yesterday

evening (30th) frm Paris. After the lapse of a few
days he will proceed direct to the head-quarters of
Byron Hess.

The subscriptions to the national loan close to-
day. It is already known that the full amount of
500 millions will be nearly attained. In conse-
quence of this—the stipulations of the programme
to the loan appointing the period of four years for
the necessary re-imarsements—the Government
has resolved to extend this period to five years,
which will facilitate most essentially the regular
development of this important operation. The
ordonnance to this effect will appear to-morrow, or
the day after, in the official journal.

THE MEDITERRANEAN.

MALTA, Aug. 27.—The Harbinger came in early
this morning with specie to the amount of 100.0001.;
and General Sir G. Cathcart, Rear-Admiral Stop-
ford, Mr. Jones, Brigadier-General Lareno, 10
officers, 16 clerks for the Commissariat, and 36
soldiers. She has had a long passage from Eng-
land, 16 days, but all are in good health. They
landed about 7 o'clock a.m., and very little time
allowed ; for, as usual, Admiral Stewart does not
understand the word delay when the service is
in question, and they started at noon, the Admi-
ral in person seeing them off. The Longsor is
just in from Alexandria, and goes on to Marseilles
at once.

By arrivals from Italy yesterday the cholera is
very bad there still, and has come down to Messina
—rather close quarters—but our quarantine is
strict, and I hope is will not be much here ; to-day
only two deaths, and both of them persons who
came in the Medway. We have a great number of
people come from Naples to escape the cholera, for
this is really the only place where the cholera does
not rage. Lieutenant Grylls, late in command of
the Ardent, has gone on to join Admiral Dundas,
as the Ardent is to be manned by another crew.
The Ripon will bring a good many invalids to
England from the troops. The Captain of the
Sanspareil is coming home invalided. Hon. Mr.
Fielding, 22d, and Mr. Dennis, Buffs, goes home
on leave per Ripon.
