inge and sketches of the batteries, ships, dockyard,
town, &c. Although she has come home with ma-
chinery, boilers, &c., deranged, she is very far from
being inefficient as a sailing man-of-war, having a
thoroughly well disciplined and well officered crew.
It is not yet known whether it will be found necessary
to send her to Woolwich for repairs. A survey by the
professional officers will take place to-day for inspecting
her machinery, &c. ; her other defects are of a trifling
nature, and could soon be made good. She brought
home large mails from the Baltic fleet, all of which
were landed on Saturday last, and left Sheerness on
Saturday night at 8 o'clock by the usual mail. A very
considerable number of packages and parcels are con-
tinually arriving, addressed to " the Admiral's office, for
passage to the Baltic ;" but, most unfortunately for the
consignees, the Port-Admiral does not consider himself
justified in sending them by steamvessel to the Down■
for vessels passing from the western ports to the Baltic,
unless there shall be seamen to draught from here for
service fin the Baltic, and ordered to take passage ley
such vessels from the Downs.

RECONNOITERING SEBASTOPOL.

The unexpected return to Baltschik, on the 31st
of May, of the Terrible, unaccompanied by her
consort, the Retribution, caused for the moment
a little anxiety. It appears that about 1 p.m.
on the 30th, as the two steamers neared Sebasto-
pol, they descried, cruising about four miles from
the port, two Russian line-of-battle ships, two
frigates, a brig, and a steamer of war, and the
wind being fair for returning into port, this
squadron of six pendants, stood away towards
it immediately the English steamers hove in
sight. Seeing, however, no more ships approach-
ing, and having oberved none in the offing, the
Russians made signals to the ships in the harbour,
from out of which four more steamers of war came,
increasing the force to ten vessels, whereupon the
liners land frigates furled sails, and were taken
in tow by the steamers ; the brig and smaller
steamer of war first seen then ran in, whilst the
rest stood out gallantly and bravely to attack the
two English cruisers—eight against two ! They
were allowed to approach within four miles, when
it became high time to let them see that, under
such disadvantageous circumstances, the English
were not so simple as to fight them, for it
would have been rashness so to do. Had the
four steamers been alone, or even had the
four liners and frigates been without an at-
tendant steamer; there might hare been a
temptation ; so the Retribution and Terrible
steamed quietly ahead, without any apprehension of
being caught. This state of things went on until
sunset, when the enemy, being then about eighteen
miles off Sebastopol, finished his day's excursion by
retracing his way back, no doubt to concoct a de-
spatch recounting his having chased away the com-
bined fleets. How the spirit of their great Peter
would have rejoiced to have witnessed his chil-
dren's bravery in standing out with two liners, two
frigates, and four steamers, to fight two steamers
mounting 49 guns ! They were last seen well in
towards the harbour of Sebastopol, from out of
which it is ardently wished they may be induced to
make a few more of these pleasant little excursions,
for no doubt the allied admirals will see the neces-
sity of sendinc, a more adequate force to pay them
that atte'ition they merit, and meet them half-way.
As the Retribution and Terrible journeyed onwards
to report this movement to Admiral Dundas, a
steamer at a considerable distance followed them
for some time. On the morning of the 31st of
May the Terrible, being the faster of the two, was
sent ahead ; but the Retribution reached Baltschick
not many hours after her. She went on to Kosloo
to coal on the same evening. All accounts speak
highly of the appearance of the Russian ships, the
furling of whose sails, and manoeuvres for being
taken in tow, were performed in right good style.

IND I A.N FIBRES.

The following letter.. written by Mr. Samuel Gregson
addressed to -Sir Charles Wood, President of
the Roard of Control
Dear Sir Charles,—Among the many important ques-
tions now pressing upon public attention, there are two
which I venture to bring particularly under your notice,
both for the interest of India and the public at large.
They are the means of providing an effective and ample
substitute for flax and hemp for our manufactures, and of
obtaining the necessary quantity of material, now noto-
riously inadequate to supply the demand for the produo.
tion of paper.
The war with Russia affects in a material degree our
command of these important articles—flax and hemp;
while the rapidity and largely increased consumption of
paper without any corresponding extension, but rather a
diminution, of the supply of the raw material for its pro-
duction, operates prejudicially on what may now be called
a necessary of life.
Allow me to submit to you a few facts bearing upon
Kingdom and especially in Ireland.
each of these matters.
The growth of flax has rapidly increased within the last
row years in the United
In 1849 the quantity of land in Ireland under this crop,
was 60,314 acres ; and taking its average yield at 6 cwt.
per acre, the produce would be 18,094 tons. In 1853 there
were 174,423 acres under flax cultivation, yielding, at the
some average, 52,327 tons.
- The importation of foreign flax for the last three years
has been

1853 64,399 „ 29,770 ~ ... 94,169 „

Total in 3 years 152,759 , 71,248 ~ ...224,007 „

Average per an. 50,920 23,749 ... 74,669 p,
showing that the importation of last. year from Russia was
16,973 tons more than that of the year preceding-13,479
tons abovo the average of the three, years —and within
10,270 tons of the total average importation from all parts
of the world.
Putting out of view the growth of flax in Groat Britain,
of which we have no available information, t he importation,
and the Irish production together, of flax during the last
year amounted to 146.496 tons, of which entire quantity
nearly one-half, and of the total importation more than
two-thirds, came from Russia, its market value (at peace
prices averaging 301. per ton) amounting to nearly two mil-
lion pounds.
Then, for hemp. Of the articles passing under this ge-
neral title, including sunn and jute from India, and that
known as Manilla hemp, the quantities received from
Russia do not bear the same proportion as in the case of
flax, being-

FIRE IN CHATHAM DOCKYARD.

The following correspondence has been sent us by the
Admiralty for publication :
" Chatham-yard, June 18-
" Sir—lt is my painful duty to report to you, for the
information of the Lords Commissioners of the Adrni•
ralty, that a serious fire broke out in the sawmills of her,
Majesty's dockyard at this place at half-past four o'clocii-
this morning, which was subdued at half-past eight'
leavini, the saw mill and the machinery in it a ruin.
"Asp far as can be seen, the fire appears to have origi-
nated in the centre of the building, though, from repo
made by the officers, no collection of sawdust or other
inflammable material of any kind was left in the building
when closed on Saturday night that can account for the
breaking out of the fire.
" I enclose the report of the officers of the yard and
the director of police, and beg to express my admiration
of the existing arrangements at this yard for extinguieh
ing fire, which were most promptly put into action by tu°
direction of Captain Richards, and carried into effect by
Col. Beresfoid with the troops in garrison, the officer°
and men belonging to the ships in ordinary, and also the
officers of her Majesty's dockyard, and the artisans NOu
came to assist in arresting the flames, to all of whom •'•
feel personally indebted for their individual exertions, by
which alone the wings containing the steam engine 2113°
millwrights' shop have been saved.—l have the honour
to be, sir, your most obedient humble servant,
" C. WYVILL, Captain-Superintendent.
" To Ralph Osborne, Esq., M.P."

" Chatham-yard, June 18,
" Sir,—We regret to state that at about ten minute.'
past five o'clock this morning a fire was discovered at
the saw-mills, in this yard. Although visited only lull'
an hour before that time, and nothing unusual observed! ;
yet the fire had then become so intense that the whol
of the middle portion of the building was soon in flame
"As there was then no possibility of preserving thit e"
the principal efforts were directed to saving the engin' h
house and the millwrights' shop, which was with muc
exertion, effected.
or
We beg herewith to enclose the report of the direct k.
of police, which embraces the minutim of this unfortuna '-
occurrence.

if " The whole of the working portion of the sawma r
is destroyed. It is proposed to make the aawpits, as fa
as possible, immediately available.
"We are unable to form any conjecture as to ahf.
origin of the fire, but it is thought to have oommeUcsia
at the middle of the lower part of the mills.

CORN EXCHANGE.
The supplies of wheat on sale in most of the country
markets hold on Saturday were very moderate. The de-
mand ruled steady, and in some instances, prices advanced
from is. to 2s. per qr. In barley and malt very little bu-
siness was transacted, but oats had an upward tendency.
Beans, peas, and flour, sold at full quotations.
Most of the Continental markets have been very firm.
In France, both wheat and flour have been on the advance,
and a steady rise has taken place in the quotations at New
York.
Up to our market last week the receipts of English grain
were moderate. From abroad we received 17,244 quarters
of wheat, 1,880 barley, 10,289 oats, 117 beans, 39 peas,
112 tares, 5,752 linseed, 11 rapeseed, 688 sundry seeds,
6,037 sacks and 10,787 barrels 6f flour.
The quantities of English wheat received fresh up to
our market to-day coastwise from Essex and Kent was
very limited. By land carriage the arrivals were trifling ;
however, the show of samples of both red and white was
smaller than for some time past. However, the demand
for all descriptions, owing to the steady imports of foreign
wheat and flour, and the prevailing fine weather for the
growing crops, was in a sluggish state. In the quotations,
scarcely any change took place from Monday last. There
were very few inquiries for forward delivery parcels.
With foreign wheat we were well supplied. Good heavy
Baltic parcels sold to a fair extent, at full prices. Most
other kinds met a dull inquiry, but we have no actual
change to notice in the currencies.
The few floating cargoes of the coast were held for more
money, but the business doing in them was trifling. About
30 vessels laden with grain have been reported off Falmouth
during the past week.
Barley, the supply of which was but moderate, moved
off slowly, at last week's currency.
There was a slight improvement in the inquiry for malt,
at full prices.
Oats, the show of which was moderately good, were in
fair request, and the turn higher than on this day sen'night.
Beans were in short supply, and heavy request, on former
terms.
The demand for peas was heavy, at late later.
We had a moderate inquiry for flour, the prices of which
were well supported.

THE BALTIC.

COPENHAGEN, June 17. —The Finnish Gazette
Confirms the destruction, by Admiral Plumridge's
squadron, of wharves, gun-boats, awl timber, &c.,
at Brahestadt on the 30th of May, and at Uleaborg
on the Ist of June.

• DANNTzic, JUNE 16.—The Basilisk, arrived here
from Baro-Sound, announces that she left 29 Eng-
lish and 18 French vessels of war at anchor there.

The vessels engaged were the Leopard, Odin
and others.

Many thousand barrels of tar were burned, and
several ships, laden with cargoes, were made przes.
One thousand five hundred men were landed, to
seize, if possible, the bank chests. The inhabitants
along the coast took flight to the interior, some of
them to Haparanda.
The English then visited Ijo, and made a .recon,-
naisance up the river of the same name.
Fifteen large vessels, besides smaller ones, sup-
posed to be the French fleet, were off the east coast
of Gothland on the 9th, steering north-east.
In a letter dated Hamburg, June 13, it is said :
—The public has been told wat pains the Russian
Government has taken, since the commencement
of the war, in the construction of four flotillas of
gun-boats and how much is expected from their
employment among the shoals and reefs scattered
throughout the Gulfs of Bothnia and Finland. The
first of these flotillas, composed of 20 gun-boats,
having completed its armaments, has come out of
Abo steering for Helsingfors. We know now that
the first division of the Russian fleet in the Baltic,
the one that has wintered in the harbour of Cron
itadt, consists of 20 vessels, most of them two-
deckers or upwards,- and that the second division
of gun-boats is assembled there. Since the middle
of May last the different vessels of this fleet, which
are all completely armed, have successively left
that harbour, and have been drawn up in line on
the Cronstadt roadstead.

THE, GOVERNESS.

" Reader ! close your eyes and picture to yourself a
governess. Miss Aughton was an average specimen of
the genus, cringing, obsequious, even servile to her
suoeriors of her own sex ; they never dreams that she
had a thought beyond her duty as a teacher, nor that
she entertained a wish not bounded by the school-room
walls—a feeling to which the well-thumbed grammars
(lid not warmly respond. . . . Was there ever yet
indeed a house that sheltered a governess beneath its
roof, that was not a scene of endless bickerings and
strife, of mischief-making and of punishments incessant
and innumerable ?"
These scornful strictures are penned, by the way,
in reference to one Miss Selina Aughton, the
governess of Mildred "La Princesse." Besides the
characters already enumerated, there are several
others not unworthy of mention as among the more
conspicuous of the fictitious personages introduced
—such, for example, as the aspiring Florence Fox-
land, or as the gentle Ilda Lohmann. Enough is
visible, however, through all the blurrs, and flaws,
and blemishes of " Bokinga," to assure the candid
reader that Morton Rae possesses ability as a deli-
neator of original 'character, and, with this capa-
city, no ordinary gift of constructiveness.

THE BLACK SEA.

The notification of the Admirals commanding
the combined squadrons of the Black Sea is as
follows :

" In consequence of the passage of the Danube by
the Russian army, their occupation of the Dobrudscha,
and their holding possession of the mouths and the two
banks of the river, we, the undersigned Vice-Admirals,
commanding in chief the combined naval forces of
France and England, in the Black Sea, declare by these
presents, in the name of our respective Governments and
make known to all those whom it may concern, that we
have established an efficient blockade of the Danube, in
order to cut off all supplies intended for the Russian
army. All the -mouths of the Danube communicating
with the Black Sea are included in the blockade ; and
we hereby warn the vessels of all nations that they can-
not enter that river until further orders.

OXFORD UNIVERSITY BILL.
The committee on this bill was then resumed.
Mr. PHINN moved the insertion of the following clause :
And whereas it is expedient to prevent credit being given
to persons studying at -Universities apd schools who have

this act, acitt, no
.
n e
ancotet
sia,ttathinaetd

and
action or suit shall bo commenced or maintained in any
court of law or equity, for the recovery of any debt or de-
affter t wtehnelpr"as:in
mand contracted or incurred. by any person under the
age of twenty-one years, who at the time of contracting
or incurring such debt or demand, shall be a student in
any university or college, or a pupil in any school or insti-
tution for the purpose of education, or who shall be a pupil
bond, or obligation given as a security for
residing with any tutor within the United Kingdom, nor
upon
deed,
any demand so incurred by such pupil while
such any
under the age of 21 as aforesaid. That from and after the
passing of this act, the Court of the Vice-Chancellor
of Oxford shall in all matters of law be governed by the
common and statute law of the realm, and not by the rules
of the civil law : That it shall be lawful for any
three of the judges of the superior courts to make such
rules as they may deem fit for the regulation of
the procedure of the said Court ; and that the said
court shall proceed in all matters subject to the said
rules in conformity with the mode of procedure established
in the County Courts : That all all persons duly admitted
to act as counsel or attorney in any court of law or equity
shall be admitted to practise in the said court ; and that
no person in Holy Orders shall be permitted to practise
therein as advocate or proctor."
Mr. HENLEY objected to the clause.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER thought the
principle of the existing law was sound, though means had
been found fur defeating its spirit. At the same time ex-
ceptional legislationiwas objectionable, and he could not re-
commend this clause for the aduption of the committee.
After some further discussion the clause was withdrawn.
