THE PRINCIPALITIES.

A Vienna letter of the 20th says :—" It is re-
ported that Baton Gehringer is named corn
inissioner-general for Wallachia, whilst M. de Bach
is to proceed to Jassy iu a similar capacity."
A letter from Jasey, 13th, in the Lloyd of
Vienna, says :—" Russian agents are exerting all
their efforts to induce the inhabitants of Moldavia
to get up an address to the Czar, praying him to
retain the protectorate of the Principalities. The
following is the text of the address, which is quietly
circulated throughout Moldavia :
"All-powerful Czar ! The undersigned inhabitants of
Moldavia avail themselves with all obedience, and with
heartfelt joy of the opportunity of swearing to youi
Majesty our unshakeable fidelity, for it is only to tilt
unlimited power of your Majesty that Moldavia owes hem
dresent position, in which she wishes for ever to remain
if God, the Master of Victory and of Power, gives tt,
;our Majesty the vict,bry over your enemies, who have
the criminal intention of wresting us from the protectiot
of your Majesty, it is then more particularly that wt
,vill testify by the real joy which we shall feel wham
efforts we will make to remain for ever the faithful atri
obedient servants of your Majesty."

ADMIRALTY INSPECTION.

We learn by electric telegraph from r Plymouth that the
Admiralty yacht Black Eagle arrived in Plymouth Sound
on Thursday night, and yesterday morning the Right Hon.
Sir James Graham, Admirals Berkeley and Dundas, Sir B.
Walker, and Captain Milne, and Mr. Secretary Osborne,
landed from her at the Devonport dockyard, where they
were received by the Admiral• Superintendent Eden, and
Captain P. Richards, who went down by train. A board
was held at Moorshed's Royal Hotel, at 10 a.m., after
which the Lords of the Admiralty, accompanied by
Port-Admiral Parker, embarked in the Avon steamer,
and, under a salute from the Impregnable, proceeded to
the Breakwater. At 2.30 their Lordships inspected
the Devonport Arsenal, ships building, especially the
Conqueror, 100. They also visited the Royal William
Victualling-yard, Royal Naval Hospital, and the Royal
Marine Barracks. To-day (Saturday) the Black Eagle is
appointed to leave Plymouth for Pembroke.

STATE OF TRADE.

( From tire Manchester Guardian of this day.)
MANCHESTER, Friday, Aug. 25.—The announcement
this forenoon, that in Liverpool the price of "fair"
American cotton is Id. per lb. lower than it was on the
11th instant has rather counteracted the evident ten-
dency of the telegraphic intimations that the day is fine
or very fine in every quarter of the country, to improve
the tune of feeling on our Exchange.
In yams there has been less business done. The home
consumers and the India merchants are more backward
in operating than the continental and Levant houses ;
and, therefore, while most spinnings prepared for the
first class have slightly receded in price (say about ,d„
per lb.), those adapted fir the other class.es are nui
qu'ted lower (except warps and oincops), though they
may be rather more easily obtainable in some quarters.
Many spinners have still considerable contracts in hand.
In the finer kinds there appears to be no alteration.
BRADFORD, Aug. 24.-- Wool—Tile quantity coming to
market is on the increase, and as many spinners who
attended the country markets and fairs have laid in good
supplies, at prices much easier than is now demanded,
there is no disposition to add to stocks at the prices now
sought, which have been materially brought about by
aurchases for woollens and blankets and not
for legitimate consumption fur worsted purposes.
Pieces—The demand for goods is not great, but the ad-
vantages offered by the manufacturers at midsummer in-
(heed orders to be given by the merchants.
LEICESTER, Aug. 24.—The glove branch does not at
present partake fully in the demand. Worsted yarns
have again risen a halfpenny per lb., making an advance
of lid. above their lowest point.

THE OFFICERS OF THE 46th REGIMENT.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

SIR, —An anonymous correspondent in your paper of
this evening has alluded to the conduct of certain officers
of the 46th Regiment, after dining at the mess of the
Northamptonshire Militia in this town. I think it
inily just to Colonel Garrett to state that those officers
of the 46th Regiment, who were concerned in the dis-
turbance, were most severely reps itnanded by him, and
the one who hail made himself most conspicuous was
not only forbbiden to go into Northampton without a
pass, but also was not permitted to meet my officers
when they returned the visit of the 46th at Weedon.
I must observe, in conclusion, that the officers of the
Northamptonshire Militia do not concur with " A
Constant Reader" in condemning a whole regiment for
the misconduct of a few.

Declining any further correspondence on the subject,
I remain, your obedient servant,
BURGHLEY, Lieut.-Colonel,
Commanding Northampton Militia.
Northampton, Aug. 24.
London, England, 1854-08-26

THE SALAMANDER.

The Salamander, 6, paddle, Commander Priest, went out
of Portsmouth Harbour yesterday morning, and anchored at
Spithead. She awaits orders.

There appears to be great dissatisfaction at the hushing-
up of the late proceedings on board the Salamander. To
be sure the Admiralty have marked their sense of the state
of the Salamander by superseding the commander and
nearly all the officers ; but it is generally thought that a
public investigation, such as took place at Windsor, would
render incalculable service to the navy.

ADMIRALTY INSPECTION.
We learn by electric telegraph from'Plfinbdth that the
Admiralty yacht Black Eagle arrived in Plymouth Sound
on Thursday night, and yesterday morning the Right lion.
Sir James Graham, Admirals Berkeley and Dundas, Sir B.

NEW DISCOVERY IN TEETH.

MR. HOWARD, SURGEON-DENTIST, 52,
FLEET-STREET, has introduced an ENTIRELY NEW
DESCRIPTION of ARTIFICIAL TEETH, fixed without springs,
wires, or ligatures. They so perfectly resemble the natural teeth,
as not to be distinguished from the originals by the closest observer ;
they will never change colour or decay, and will be found superior to
any teeth ever before used. This method does not require the ex-
traction of roots, or any painful operation, and will supp3rt and pre-
serve teeth that are loose, and is guaranteed to restore articulation
and mastication. Decayed teeth rendered sound and usefhl in mas-
tication.

DESTRUCTIVE FIRES.-(THIS DAY.

GREAT CONFLAGRATION AT THE FALCON GLASS WORKS.
This morning, at two o'clock, a most destructive fire
broke out on the premises of A. Pellatt, Esq., M.P. for
Southwark, glass manufacturer, Holland-street, Black-
friars, creating the utmost consternation throughout that
district. The discovery was made shortly after two,
when the police on duty observed a glare of light issuing
from the premises. With the assistance that could be
procured in the neighbourhood, attempts were made to
prevent the fire obtaining ascendancy. Such, however,
proved quite impossible. The reflection of the fire
brought the engines from Watling-street, Farringdon-
street, and Southwark-road, and after great difficulty,
owing to the want of water, got to work. Mr. Braid-
wood having arrived, instantly sent for the large floating
steam engine, which was brought from Southwark-bridge
station, and rendered most efficient service ; and, after
most strenuous exertions on the part of the firemen, the
fire was at length subdued. The extent of the loss is
several thousand pounds. During the whole of the
morning, in consequence of the immense heat and body
of fire that remained, it was necessary to keep the en-
gines in constant work. Several thousand persons were
attracted to the spot.
The following is Mr. James Braidwood's official ac-
count of the unfortunate catastrophe :
Two o'clock a.m.—Falcon Glass Works, Holland-
street, Blackfriars, caused by the overheating of the flue.
Insured in the County, Sun, and General Manchester
Fire Offices. Pott-rooms, show-rooms, and stables de-
stroyed. Steam floating engine, fire brigade engines,
and West of England, with a body of assistants and fire-
men.

No. 13, Green-walk—E. Hunt, private furniture da-
maged by removal, and back of premises burnt.
No. 8, Holland-street---J. F. Norton, patent wool
manufacturer. Contents insured in the Royal Liverpool
and other fire insurance offices.
This morning, shortly after two o'clock, another fire
broke out in the premises of Hibbard's dining-rooms and
coffee-shop, 158, Fleet-street. The fire was discovered
by a policeman on the beat, by whom an alarm was
raised and the engines sent for ; but on the arrival of
the London Brigade and West of England engines,
it was found that there was a great difficulty in
obtaining a supply of water. After some delay, the
water was procured in abundance, but not until the
premises were nearly gutted.
London, England, 1854-02-28

the next fortnight arrangements would be made for the
conveyance of additional troops, doubling that number ;
and, considering the call made upon the Admiralty to pro-
vide for the effective service of the navy, he thought the
house would admit that they had not at the same time
been idle in providing conveyance for the troops. (Cheers.)
With resoect to what had just fallen from the hon. gentle-
man, he -begged to say that, if there was want of acco-
modation on merchant steamers for the conveyance of
soldiers, the accommodation was ten times worse on a war
steamer. In conclusion, he thanked both sides of the
house for the cordial and generous support they had
afforded the Government in passing the estimates. (Hear.)
Mr. PERCY made an inquiry respecting the applica-
tion of the smoke-consuming apparatus to Government
steamers.

Sir J. GRAHAM observed that the apparatus had been
under trial in the dockyards, but had not been applied to
3rovernment steamers ; and the result of the trial induced
um to believe that, though the apparatus was effee-
nal in bonsnming smoke, it occasioned a much larger con-
umption of coal. (Hear, hear.).
Captain SCOBELL inquired whether the Admiralty
were not aware that there were some Russian men-of-war in
Austrian ports, and whether it would not be desirable
under such circumstances, to have an escort to accompany
our vessels conveying troops?
Sir J. GRAHAM said, it was true that three Russian
men-of-war were in the Adriatic, but he bad great plea-
sure in telling the gallant officer that there were also three
English men-of-war there—(cheers)—and, if that were not
enough, two very powerful French vessels were likewise in
the Adriatic. Those three Russian men-of-war had been
in the outer harbour of Trieste ; but they were afterwards
hauled up within the inner mole, so that our men-of-war
could not get at them. (Laughter.)
The vote was agreed to.
London, England, 1854-02-28

PETITIONS.

Mr. MOWBRAY presented a petition from the medical
practitioners of Durham complaining of the hardships
which the brethren of the profession in the Royal Navy

AFFGHANISTAN.

We learn from Cabul that the Russian army had
halted within two marches of Khiva, and was con-
structing cantonments. Four envoys had been
sent to Dost Mahomed, soliciting him to proceed
to the banks of the Oxus to receive the accredited
agents of the Czar, whose object it was to form a
quadruple alliance between the Czar, the Khan of
Khiva, the Ruler of Cabul, and the King of Bok-
hara. Dost Mahomed consented to the alliance,
but declined crossing the Oxus to meet the King
of Bokhara, unless the Russian General would cross
to the Affghan side of the river, and bring with
him as a hostage the son of the Prime Minister to
the King of Bokhara. It is added that Dost Ma-
homed is willing to forget all the ills lie received at
the King of Bokliara's hands, holding that the
importance of the quadruple alliance calls for
the burial of all private animosity-, , All this in-
telligence, must, we are of opinion, be received
CUM grano ; yet it tends to show how wide spread
are the machinations of Russian intrigue. As to
anticipating an invasion of India, we believe that
if such a mad project were attempted, it could only
end in defeat and disaster to the invader. There
are at present troops located on our north-west
frontier sufficient to sweep India from the Hima-
layas to Cape Comorin ; and as for Persia, a force
despatched to Bushire or Karrack will speedily
bring Nusseer-ud-Deen to his senses. We learn
from Umballa that a most brutal murder has been
perpetrated in that station by a British officer,
who is in confinement in consequence. Matters
continue as usual at Lucknow ; the intemperance
of the monarch suffers no diminution, and crime
has of course increased. The latest accounts from

DEPARTURE OF THE SCOTS FUSILIER

GUARDS-(THIS DAY.)

INSPECTION BY HER MAJESTY.

The march of the Ist battalion of the Scots Fusilier
Guards for the seat of war having been appointed to
take place this morning, from an early hour the Birdcage-
walk, St. James's Park, Great George-street, Westmin-
ster, &c., were crowded with many thousands of persons,
anxious to catch a farewell look at the brave fellows.
At half-past four o'clock the stillness of the morning was
disturbed by the sounding of the reveille, and soon after
the several companies were mustered in their respective
barrack rooms. At the roll call upwards of one hun-
dred men neglected to answer to their names, but
between five and six o'clock the absentees povred into
the barracks in such numbers that not one was absent at
the parade for march. The troops were in light service
marching order, and appeared in the most excellent
spirits. At seven o'clock the band struck up, and the
word "quick march" having been given, the fine corps,
preceded by the pioneers, fully accoutred, emerged from
the western gate, and marched direct to the front
entrance of Buckingham Palace, where a halt was made ;
her Majesty and the Prince Consort appearing on the
balcony were loudly cheered. The battalion formed
line, and presented arms, the band playing the
national anthem. Sections having been again formed,
the march proceeded through St. James's Palace,
Pall-mall, Trafalgar-square, and the Strand, the band
playing, at intervals, "Blue Bonnets over the Bor-
ders," "Cheer, boys, cheer," " You are going far away,"
"The girl I left behind me," and other animating tunes.
The cheering along the line of route, particularly at
the Army and Navy and United Service Clubs, was
loud and incessant. The men appeared in admirable
order, and although many had been absent from barracks
during the night no symptoms of lassitude were appa-
rent. At the entrance to the terminus of the South-
Western Railway the cheers from civilians and soldiers
were deafening, and a farewell cheer from those outside
was responded to heartily by the soldiers within, The
most perfect order and discipline prevailed, and a special
train being in readiness the' battalion was soon on its
rapid way to Portsmouth, where the men will embark
this afternoon on board her Majesty's steam troop-ship
Simoom for conveyance to Malta.
