THE COLOMBO.

A private letter has been received at Southampton from
a person on board the Peninsular Company's steamer Co-
lombo, stationed at the entrance of the Black Sea, which
states that that vessel is to be engaged in the service of
the Government for four months in the East. The troops
she took out were encamped about a mile from where she
is lying. Tho Rifles had lost many men by the cholera.
The letter states also that the reason the Colombo was
stationed at the entrance of the Black Sea, was because
several Russian vessels had made their escape, and passed
the allied fleets. The Colombo had received orders to pro-
ceed shortly to Varna in company with twelve other
transports.

CONSTANTINOPLE.

RECEPTION OF THE NEW VICEROY.
Accounts from Constantinople, of the 21st ult.,
state that Said Pacha, the new Viceroy of Egypt,
had arrived there, and had a very flattering recep-
tion. He was accompanied only by Mehemet Ali,
his brother ; Talat Bey, his Divan Effendi ; and
Koenig Bey, his private Secretary. The tribute
which he brought with him to present on his ac-
cession, without takiug into account the presents,
is estimated at 20 millions of piastres. About a
third of this sum has been ftirnished by the family
of Said Pacha and the principal functionaries, and
the remainder has been advanced by the commer-
cial houses at Alexandria. A. council was formed
before his departure to manage the affairs of the
Government during his absence.

MILITIA DESERTERS.

At the Bow-street 'Police yesterday, John Harding
and Timothy Green were charged with deserting from
the militia service, at Hounslow.
The offence was proved by the corporal of the regi-
ment.
Mr. Henry said it was not generally known, proba-
bly, that deserters from the militia were liable to the
same punishment, and subject to the same laws, as ordi-
nary soldiers.
The men urged that they had no intention to leave
the service altogether.
Mr. Henry observed that absence from duty was an
act of desertion. He had only one course to adopt in
the matter, and that was to send the prisoners to the
House of Detention, to await the decision of the com-
manding officer. Any circumstance which they might
wish to urge in mitigation should be addressed to him.

IMPORTATION OF GIRLS FROM GERMANY.—LIVER-
PooL, Friday.—The attention of J. H. Smith and S.
Holme, Esqrs., two of the magistrates for this borough,
was for some time engaged to-day in hearing a charge
preferred against Madame Anne Rosenberg, a notorious
procuress, of detaining the clothes of a young girl named
Anna Margarita Hesser, who was seduced from Ham-
burgh about six months ago, but had now made her escape
from the hause of Madame Anne on Sunday night last.
When she left Hamburgh she was accompanied by a
" gentleman," who said he would procure her a better
situation than the one she occupied (manager of an hotel)
as well as with another girl who was also misled as to
the intentions of the seducer. Hesser ultimately was
conveyed to the house of Madame Anne, but nearly all
the time has been under medical treatment. As the
claim for the detained clothes amounted to upwards of
151., the magistrates had no jurisdiction, and the case
was dismissed.
Fog AT A SUGAR HOUSE.--Yesterday evening, be-
tween five and six, a fire broke out in the extensive au•
gar refinery belonging to Messrs. Greenwood and Co.,
Rupert-street, Goodman's-fields. The fire originated in
that portion of the works known as the " stone," which
contained about 800 or 200 loads of refined sugar.
About 10 tons weight was in a state of ignition when
the discovery took place, and owing to the immense
quantity in stock, the total
destruction of the building
seemed inevitable. The brigade engines from Wellclose-
square and other stations were promptly in attendance,

damaged, by heat, water, and smoke. The fire is said
ultimately

to have originated in the overheat of the flues. The firm

were insured in the Imperial, the Phmnix, and other

offices.
A MADMAN IN A RAILWAY CARRIAGIL—The officials
on the railway line were somewhat alarmed a few days
ago at the conduct of a maniac, who was a passenger by
the Hull down train. When the train reached Peter-
borough, the man (of short build and respectable ap-
pearance) got out and galloped about 'the platform, ex-
claiming, " I have a commission from the Almighty to
chain the devil in a first-class carriage." He was with
difficulty quieted and secured in a second-class carriage
—the doors being locked, and thus forwarded to his des•
tination,-15tatnford

THE BLACK SEA..

VARNA, AUGUST 19.
Something is going to be done, and that speedily.
The opinion is Sebastopol. Kaff2., is spoken off ;
some even say Anapa is to be attacked ; and others
that no place at all is to suffer, but that the troops
are merely going to occupy winter quarters at
Scutari. All believe that Sebastopol will be at-
tacked by our combined forces, and that the em-
barkation will take place in a few days. This
morning a sort of rehearsal took place in the em-
barkation and disembarkation of guns on the south
side of the bay ; also as to the number of men
paddle-box boats would contain. Lord Raglan,
Admiral Lyons, General Brown, dxc., were pre-
sent, and the operations were very successful.
The seamen and marines of the ships here assisted,
and, at Admiral Lyons's desire, all the execu-
tive officers of the, ships • who could attend
did so. The Leander's crew are to be broken
up, to fill_up vacancies in the fleets--also that of

SPAIN.

The decree dissolving the corps of Guardias de la
Reina, and re-organising the Royal Halberdiers, is
published, countersigned by General O'Donnell.
A saving of 1,400,000 reals is stated to result from
this measure.

The Madrid Chamber of Commerce has petitioned
the Government that the amounts contributed
towards the forced loans may be allowed against the
next two quarters payment of taxes.
The corporation of Madrid will continue its func-
tions, the Government having refused to accept its
resignation, and addressed a flattering communica-
tion to that effect.

An effort was made by some members of the Ma-
drid Junta to get that body to break up, but after a
long debate the motion was withdrawn, and the
Junta will remain till the Cortes meet.

DUBLIN, SEPT. 1.
WRECK or THE MINERVA.—We learn from Cork
that several large establishments engaged in different
branches of trade in that city, as well as a large number
of houses throughout the county, had goods consigned
to them by the Minerva. The value of the vessel and
corgo has been variously stated, but it is generally
understood that it cannot be less than 60,000/.
THE MAGISTRACY.—The Lord Chancellor has ap-
pointed Hervey Morgan de -Montmorency to the com-
mission of the peace for the county Kilkenny, upon the .
recommendation of the Right Hon. William Ache,
deputy-lieutenant of the county.
CHIEF BARON PIGOT.—His lordship having recovered
from his recent indisposition, left his lodgings at Cork
on Tuesday, and has arrived in Dublin.
ENGLISH PROPRIETORS IN CONNAUGHT. —We under-
stand that the extensive property situate in the county
of Galway, belonging to James Lambert, Esq., of
Gregg Clare, has been sold by him to Mr. Hope Scott.
an English barrister, for the sum of 92,0001: Mr. Scott
is married to Miss Lockhart, grand-daughter of the late
Sir Walter Scott. Some two years since Mr. Scott and
family, who were members of the Protestant church,
withdrew from that religion, and embraced the doctrines
of the Roman Catholic faith. We understand it is the
intention of the new proprietor to reside at least for a
considerable portion of each year on his newly-acquired
Irish property, and we trust that he will have every
reason to be satisfied with the good conduct and indus-
trious habits of the tenantry.—Galway Packet.

MILITIA DE,STRTE.RS.

At the Bow-street Police yesterday, John Harding
and Timothy Green were charged with Jeserting from
the militia service, at Hounslow.
The offence was proved by the corporal of the regi-
ment.
Mr. Henry said it was not generally known, proba-
bly, that deserters from the militia were liable to the
same punishment, and subject to the same laws, as ordi-
nary soldiers.
The men urged that they had no intention to leave
the service altogether.
Mr. Henry observed that absence from duty was an
act of desertion. He had only one course to adopt in
the matter, and that was to send the prisoners to the
House of Detention, to await the decision of the com-
manding officer. Any circumstance which they might
wish to urge in mitigation should be addressed to him.

THE GUN-BOATS.

A communication has been received from America on
this subject, from which we extract the following :—" We
now enclose a letter received this morning from Captain S.,
an old and experienced ship contractor, regarding the con-
struction of gun-boats with a light draught of water. It
is in reply to a note We addressed him on the subject. We
have also conversed lately with several of
.our largest. and
best-informed ship builders in this city, who all tell us
that there would be no ditticulty whatever in building
boats of the required size to carry heavy guns and draw
only three to four feet water. We doubt not there are
plenty of our shipbuilders who would willingly contract
to furnish as many of the boats as yourGovernmont wants.
Captain S , you will note, gives a rough estimate of
the cost of such vessels, but, if you want any more accu-
rate data, please give us the particulars or description of
the boat required, and we will endeavour to get nearer the
actual cost.

" P.S. This being a neutral country, we doubt, if our
Government would allow gunboats to be built here, as the
Russian Government would undoubtedly protest against it.

The communication referred to is as follows :

"I received your note of the 9th instant in reference to
the practicability or possibility of building gun-boats
capable of carrying two of the largest-sized guns, with
machinery to propel them five or six miles per hour, to
draw from three to five feet water, and with two days' coal
on board. I presume it is intended that the engine and
boilers should be below the water line, or protected from
shot in some other way, all of which could be acc.inplished
for about 15,000 dollars to 20,000 dollars each. They would
be abuut 200 tons."

SURREY AND SUSSEX.

The association which is in course of formati9n for
the prosecution of this useful undertaking has, we un-
derstand, received promises of encouragement and sup-
port from nearly all the landed proprietors through whose
property it is intended the proposed line shall traverse.
No opposition is anticipated, either from the Duke of
Norfolk or Col. Wyndham, as the line will, by its junc-
tion at Guildford, make a direct communication with the
metropolis, and render available the produce of several
towns and villages which are now without railroad
communication. Such an enterprise cannot fail to he
beneficial to the surrounding districts. Large quantities
of timber are grown there ; and the agricultural produce
which is raised, situated as it is in the most fertile die-
! trict of England, is of great importance ; but hitherto,
owing to the want of unproved means of transport, has
I been rendered comparatively unavailable. The port of
Arundel, at a small expense, can be rendered deep
enough for ships of large burden ; and at this present
time exertions are being made to deepen the harbour.
This port carries on a large trade with Sunderland and
' other towns ; it is nearly opposite to Havre, and when
the improvements in the harbour are completed, and a
railroad connects the town with the metropolis, a I great, increase of trade must be expected. We have reason t
expect that, in the course of a few weeks, plans will bemature;, and the operations will be comnieueed.—Mining

mouth, on board her Majesty's steamer Powerful, 84,
Captain Eliott, to a seaman, who fell from one of the tops
on to the quarter-deck, which killed him on the instant.

severe injuries that he survived but a short time after ro-
pier-al to the Naval Hospital at Haslar.

PROMOTION OF CAPTAIN MORRIS.
The Lieutenant-General of the Ordnance, by general
order, dated August 28, has appointed Captain H. J.
Thomas to the command of the troop of the Royal Horse
Artillery, vacant by the decease of Major Levine, in Tut.

We regret to learn the death of this gallant general,

bell was for many years in the lst Foot, from which he
retired in 1838. He served in Egypt in 1801, and in Por-
tugal ~.and Spain in 1808 and 1809, and took part in the
battle of Corunna. He was in the expedition to IValche-
ren and at the siege of Flushing. He returned to the Pe-
ninsula in 1811, and was engaged in the several campaigns
until the close of the war, in 1814, having shared the
perils and honours of the battle of Vittoria, siege and as-
sault of St. Sebastian, at which he was severely wounded
in the thigh, the ball never having been extracted. The
General was nominated a Companion of the Order of the
Bath in 1831, and had received a silver medal for Corunna,
and a medal and clasp for Vittoria and St. Sebastian. His
commissions bear date as follows :—Ensign, 7th Dec.,

AUSTRIA_

VIENNA, Aug. 28.—Daily conferences take place
between Count Buol and Count Arnim. It is whis-
pered that a new arrangement is about to be made
between the two Powers, and a supplementary ar-
ticle added to the April Convention. If this be
correct, it is a proof that Prussia is at last coming
to her senses. On Saturday the representatives of
the Bamberg Conference States delivered important
despatches to Count Buol, but nothing is known of
their contents. Prince Albert of Saxony delivered
to his Majesty at _fiell the notification of the ac-
cession of his father, King John, to the Saxon
throne. The King of Portugal yesterday went to
Durnkrut, an estate at no great distance from his
capital, belonging to the Austrian branch of the
Coburg family. News has been received here that
Prince Paskiewitch will remove his head-quarters
from Warsaw to Groduo, but there must be some
mistake in this. Probably Dubno, in Volhynia,
on the high road to Brady and Lemberg, is meant.
The Trieste Zeitung has a short leader which calls
the attention of the public to the great power of
Russia in Asia, and distinctly declares that the in-
terests of Europe will be but imperfectly secured by a
peace concluded on the basis "of the four conditions."
If these are accepted,Eiiropean Turkey will be safe
from the aggressions of the great N orthern Power,
but notsothe Asiatic dominions of the Porte. As long
as Russia has possession of Armenia, Asia Minor is in
danger, and with it Constantinople. The great
stronghold of Erivan perpetually menaces the
dearest (mercantile) interests of Europe, Central
Asia is threatened from the valleys of the Kur and
Aras (Araxas), and this Great Britain, with the
other European States, "and particularly Austria,"
cannot see with indifference. "If," says the Trieste
Zeit ung—
" Central Europe has no direct interests to defend, it
must assist in bringing about such a state of things in
the Caucasus and its mere immediate neighbourhood
that no power shall at pleasure be able to disturb the
peace of the world. The principal feature for Central
Europe in the Oriental question is the freedom of the
Danube ; but the future of the valley of the Kur and
Aras concerns Germany as much as it does England."

People in this part of the world are somewhat
inclined to think that the expedition sent by the
Western Powers to the East would have failed
without the co-operation of Austria, but few who
have a correct idea of the resources and power of
France and England are likely to share this opi-
nion. If Austria were to remain neuter, in the
strict sense of the word, the war would be infinitely
prolonged ; but a long struggle between Russia and
the Western Powers would effectually ruin this
country, whose armed neutrality is supposed to
cost her something like 500,0001 a-day.
The following telegraphic despatch has been re-
ceived : _ .

VIENNA, Friday.—Tho official Lloyd states that
Marshal St. Arnaud was to leave Constantinople
on the 2d inst. to take the command of the allied
expedition, which by that time would have arrived

WOOLLEN TRADE.

(Front the Leeds Mercury of this day.)
LEEDS, Sept. I.—We have no alteration to report in
the state of the woollen market this week. There was
an excellent business done in both the Cloth-halls last
Saturday in nearly all descriptions of goods suitable for
the season, and on Tuesday also there was a full average
quantity of cloth sold in both markets.
HUDDERSFIELD.—The market to-day was not much
different from those of a few preceding weeks. The
better sort of goods, including fancy woollens and black
doeskins, are in moderate request. For the coarser
kinds the demand is flat.
HALIFAX, Aug. 26.—We have had only an indifferent
piece market to-day, the demand having been very slack.

STATE OF TRADE.

( From the Manchester Guardian of this day.)
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 merchants have• ventured upon con-
siderable speculative purchases of certain descriptions
of goods, principally low 38-inch shirtings. The in-
ducement is the exceedingly low value to which these
fabrics have fallen, aided by the better general
prospect now opening before us, and by advices from,
Calcutta, showing some little improvement in that very
depressed market. It is in the face of unprecedented sup-
plies now on the way that these purchases have been made ;
b it there Can hardly be any risk in suck transactions, con-
sidering that there is now a smaller margin between the
price of the raw cotton andthe price of the cloth than has
been known for many years ; smaller, we are informed
by gentlemen in the trade, than at the time of the great
disasters which overwhelmed so many eastern houses.
Although an improvement in yarns also is advised, we
do not find much more inquiry for them from the Cal-
cutta houses. _ _

BRADFORD? Aug. 31. Woo/--The disposition to buy
wool at present prices is not on the increase. Yarns—
The spinners are now in a bad position, from the great
disproportion between the cost of wool and the ruling
price for yarns. This applies to both spools and hank.
Piece3—There is no marked alteration in the business
for the week, and as old orders are completed, the manu-
facturers seek an advance, which the merchants are not
free to give.
