THE BLACK SEA.

The Vladimir had her captain killed, as well as
16 men, in the recent brush off Sebastopol. This
vessel is English-built and fitted, and is probably
• the best vessel of her class which Russia possesses.
She is stated to have called at Odessa about the
24th ult., stayed there only a few minutes, and
then departed for 'Nicliolai (on the Bug), to which
place she was understood to have gone for repairs,
having suffered considerably. This intelligence
having become known in our fleet, some of our
cruisers were despatched to iutercept her on her
return, but she has not yet been seen. She carries
eight guns, and possesses engines of 400-horse
power.
When our steamers have by any chance appeared
off the coast of Odessa, all the ladies have trooped
out on the Boulevards in their brightest parasols
and bonnets to see, and some to sketch, the Eng-
lish ships. There is considerable discontent in
the place, and many merchants are leaving.
Some of the people are hoping, however, that
the war will soon come to a close, owing to the
lack of corn which will be experienced—a thoroughly
Odessian idea. It is said, too, that, in consequence
of the kind treatment bestowed by the English and
French upon the sick occasionally discovered in
deserted villages, the lower orders are beginning
somewhat to lose faith in the politic assertions that
we are a horde of savages, who, having no religion
at all, intend to promulgate war and devastation
among " the most orthodox."
At Kostendje (anciently Coustantia) are now the
Pluton (30 days from France) and a French troop-
ship. On shore are 3,000 Zouaves, and also a
corps of Bashi-Bazouks commanded by French offi-
cers ; all are pretty well tired of their quarters. The
place is a little town of the usual wooden houses, from
which rises a solitary, forlorn-looking minaret, the
whole perched upon the summit of the cliff over-
hanging the sea. Near it are the remains of a for-
tified work, the whole looking as desirable a spot
tor French or English troops as their worst enemy
could choose.
Sulina is at present desolation personified. Since
Captain Parker's death the whole of the town has
been burnt, in order that it might not afford cover
to the Cossacks. The lighthouse, a very fine stone
structure, and the church, a wooden building, alone
remain. There are blackened beams marking the
site of the town on the south side of the mouth, and
a dismantled work on the north side. Between-the
two oscillate and drift perpetually an enormous
number of pieces of wreck and wrecked vessels,
their masts forming various angles with the stream.
Dogs and cats of every grade of leanness are the
permanent occupants of the place, and frequently
a party of Cossacks (when the coast is clear) take
a survey from the summit of thelighthouse. Lower
down, a meagre supply of trees .rises occasionally
from the low swampy-looking shore.
The Wasp is• in charge of Redout-Kaleh.

THE LOItD AUCKLAND.

The Lord Auckland sailed on Sunday for Kurrachee,
near Bombay. On the morning of departure, Major-
General Sir Harry Smith addressed the soldiers on the
necessity of observing strict discipline, and strongly re-
commended to the officers the practice of frequent parade.
In compliance with the decision of a medical board, as-
sembled under the authority of the Horse Guards, the
ship has been furnished with a stock of brandy, turpentine,
and other medical stores, and some alterations have been
made in her fitments.

THE EPIDEMIC.
When the epidemic had entirely disappeared from the
receiving ship Endymion, the troops were placed on their
former diet, and it is very remarkable, taken in connection
with the statement which appeared in The Sun,, that im-
mediately porter was served out to the men diarrhoea
recommenced. Through this complaint and low fever,
two soldiers were sent to the Military Hospital on the
20th inst., seven on the 21st, and two on the 22d, but they
are all convalescent, and most have returned to the ship.
As soon as the ill effects of the porter were clearly de-
monstrated, its use was discontinued and rum substituted.
The chloride of zinc has proved to be a most useful disin-
fectual. It has been freely used on board the Lord Auck-
land and on board the hospital ship Andromeda, where
scarcely any sickness has occurred among the attendants
and nurses.

NEW AMBULANCE WAGGON.
An inspection took place at the Royal Arsenal yester-
day of a new plan, by a Mr. GloveL for an ambulance or
hospital waggon, for conveying tharrick or wounded from
the battle-field to have medical or surgical attendance.
The ambulance waggons already sent to the East were
made to carry four sick or wounded—two on the bottom
of the waggon, supported by springs over the axletree, and
two swung, as it were, in cots suspended from a roof
thrown over the waggon, the lying position of the persons
in the cots being about six feet from the ground, and the
roof of the waggon above eight feet high. Mr. Glover, by
his plan, obviates the great height of the position of the
bodies in the others, and places the two lowest about
two feet from the ground, and the two highest about
four feet. He accomplishes his object by making his axle_
tree on a similar principle to those used by the Hansom
cabs, the perpendicular portion of the axle being about a
foot higher than the centre of the nave of the wheel.
When not in nse, carrying sick or wounded persons,
about a foot in length at the head and tail folds up, and
the'vehicle may be used as a car for the conveyance of per-
sons in good health. The car has the advantage of being
light, and the horse is prevented from doing any injury
when given to kicking by being enclosed in a manner
exactly the same as in the Hansom cabs.

the prisoner with another pot of beer, when the police
came in.

Henry Thredder, another shoemaker, corroborated
last witness's testimony.
Inspector Moore, M division, said he held a warrant
from the Commissioners of Inland Revenue, and on
Sunday, after one o'clock, he went to a shed in More-
ton-street, where he found the prisoner and thirteen or
fourteen men, among whom were the last two witnesses.
There were spirits and beer about, and witness asked
Richards who had supplied him with either. He pointed
out the prisoner, and witness took him into custody.
He then searched the place, and found a cask containing
nine gallons of porter, a bottle of gin, and several pots
and glasses. At the station-house he received from
Richards a bottle containing a quarters; of gin, which
was sealed up in his presence.
Sergeant Richards said he accompanied the inspector,
and assisted in finding the beer and spirits. Since the
vissing of the new beer act, which prevents licensed
dealers from selling on Sunday during the prohibited
hours, he understood the prisoner had been carrying on
a roaring trade, and many drunken people had been
seen to leave the stable while persons were returning
from church.

Mr. Solomon, who was retained for the defendant,
here said that he was ❑ot so much in the habit of giving
up a case when he saw the remotest chance for his
client. But he must say the evidence in this case was
so clear that he could not struggle against it. All he
would ask his worship was, that he would deal merci-
fully with the prisoner, as he was instructed to say it
was his first offence.

Mr. A'rect.cmis—;raid Mr. Solomon had taken a very
judicious course ; but the defendant bad been guilty of
a very serious offence, which was a great evil to society.
The Legislature had just passed an act of Parliament to
suppress, as much as possible, the sale of exciseable
liquors on Sunday amongst licensed persons, which, he
must confess, had worked beneficially in the district of
the court ; therefore, for the protection as well as the
good of the public, he could not look over the prisoner's
offence without inflicting a heavy penalty. He should
fine him 501., and, in default of payment, commit him
to the House of Correction for three months.

BLOCKADE OF THE WHITE SEA.

ARCHANGEL, Aug. 16.—Sir,—I have now to ad-

declared in a state of blockade from the 13th inst.,
and that 15 days are allowed to ships for leaving
the said ports.—Signed by the Agent at Lloyds.

ODESSA.
An Odessa letter of the 14th, received by the
Lloyd, contains matter of considerable interest.
Two Paixhan guns, belonging' to the Tiger, have
been mounted and placed in an elevated part of
the city. General Osten-Sacken received orders
from St. Petersburg to avoid any collision with
the Austrian army when advancing into Moldavia,
"and, in case of extreme need, to retreat behind
the Pruth." Powerful reinforcements arrive from
Odessa, but they are sent onto the Crimea. " The
attention of the allies is not directed to Sebastopol."
The following extraordinary Russian order of
the day was read to the garrison of Odessa on the
13th :

" His Majesty the Czar has ordered, in his high wis-
dom, that the troops who had entered Wallachia and
Moldavia shall withdraw from those provinces, and
march to the point where there is the greatest danger.
To protect the Principalities against an invasion by the
Turks, the ancient ally of his Majesty the Czar (Austria)
has undertaken to occupy them in the meantime. Here
you will have to combat a. new enemy, who has the cul-
pable intention of attacking you in your own country.
This enemy has been already frequently beaten and van-
quished by our valorous fathers ; his Majesty the Czar
expects the same from you. You will vanquish and
destroy the enemy by your bravery and your discipline.
This new enemy is more skilful and more courageous,
snd better commanded than the Turks, but your courage
and strength can also vanquish this enemy, as your
fathers have proved several times. Call to mind, in
fighting against the French, the glorious year of 1812,
when the Heavenly Father also sent his hosts against
these impious and criminal men, and buried them all
under the ice."

THE BALTIC.

COPENHAGEN, Monday.—On the 26th inst. a
motion was made in the Swedish House of Yeomen
that the Chambers should petition the King to
take steps to insure that Aland never again be-
comes Russian.

Vessels belonging to Aland now sail under the
French flag.
Madvig persists in refusing to enter the illegal
Supreme Council.
The following extracts from letters from officers
employed at Bomarsund have been kindly handed
to us :--

" We got over 42 cwt. guns, by hand, five miles, on
sledges made by ourselves ; our sailors hauled them.

"It is wonderful to see the small effect Russian shot
and shell produced fired againt us. We have only had
one Englishman wounded of 800 who have been uncle'
fire for six days.
"We got our guns into a most wonderful place. The
French General said, when he was there, 'No people
except English sailors would have thought it possible.'
Our English engineers gave us five hours to get one gun
up from the camp ; we did it in one hour and a half."

THE 'AITSTRO-PRUSSIAN CONVENTION

OF APRIL.

The following telegraphic announcement has

VIENNA, Monday Evening.—There is a question
of an additional article to the Austro-Prussian
convention of April, which will perhaps place
Prussia on a better footing with England, France,
and AUstria.

EXPENSIVE RETURNS.

Mr. FITZROY brought up a very formidable looking
return connected with education in Scotland.
RETIRED FULL PAY OFFICERS.
Colonel FREESTON, before putting the question
of which he had given notice to his right hon. friend
the Secretary•at-War, craved the indulgence of the
house for a moment in explanation of his motive
for doing so, feeling deeply interested in the subject.
The officers alluded to, were induced to accept the re-
tired full pay, from age, wounds, and infirmities con-
tracted in the service, and he could speak to the
fact, having bad the honour of serving with many
of them in various parts of the wot ld, a more
meritorious set of officers do not exist, the greater num-
ber of them having seen upwards of forty years' service.
With these few remarks be would ask his right hon.
friend the Secretary at War whether her Majesty has
been graciously pleased to extend to officers already re-
tired on full pay the same boon whiph has been recom-
tnended by the Comm-ma-16n on Promotion in the Army,
to be granted to those officers who shall in future retire
under similar circum.tances.
Mr. S. HERBERT said the report referred to had
been drawn up, but it remained to be submitted to her
Majesty; when it should have received her sanction,
the subject mooted by his hon. and ga:lant friend would
receive the immediate consideration of the Horse Guards.

FRANCE.

It is stated that accounts reached Paris yester-
day announcing that the expeditionary troops have
landed in Perekop, the isthmus which joins the
Crimea to the main land. The probability of such
an event was spoken of some days ago as the best
means of intercepting the communications of the
Russians with the Crimea.

The article in the Moniteur, announcing the ad-
hesion of Austria to the views of England and
France, produced a favourable impression on the
Bourse yesterday. The 3 per Cents. closed at 72f.

THE WAR IN ASIA.

A letter from Trebizond, published in the Moni-
teur, says :
"All the Bashi-Bazouks have been placed under the
command of Ismail Pasha (General Kinetty), who ischarged
with the organisation and improvement of these irregular
troops.
" This measure has certainly been one of the best inspi-
rations of the General-in-Chief, Although entirely sepa-
rated from the rest of the army, Ismail Pasha has so power-
fully contributed to the moral elevation of the soldier by
constantly obtaining the advantage in the numerous en-
gagements which he has undertaken with his irregular
troops against the Russian Cossacks ; and, although these
small engagements with outposts, are apparently insignifi-
cant, they nevertheless produce an excellent effect upon the
spirit of the army. Besides this, Ismail Pasha has com-
pletely succeeded in r pressing the turbulence and pillage
to which the Bashi-Bazouks were too much addicted.
" The ascendancy which Ismail Pasha has been able to
acquire over his troops forms a very remarkable fact.
This general has made himself at once feared and re-
spected. These irregular troops have now the most un-
limited confidence in the capacity of their chief. They
blindly obey him, are guided by him, and are always
read to expose themselves to the greatest dangers
with the most admirable courage and intrepidity.
Recently, a strong division of Cossacks, supported by
cavalry and two pieces of cannon, after having passed
Arpa-Tchai, came to forage on the Turkish territory
near the left bank of the Kars-Tchai. Ismail Pasha was
at the time upon the right bank of that river with 200 of
his irregulars. It was impossible for him to attack the
Cossacks with this handful of men ; but, upon an intima-
tion which he contrived to send immediately to Hadji
Denivah, who was encamped about a league and a half
from the Kars-Tchai, that chief instantly came up with
1,500 Bashi-Bazouks.
" Ismail Pasha then crossed the Kars-Tchai and attacked
the enemy with such impetuosity that he instantly took to
flight in spite of the great inferiority of numbers. The
3ashi-Bazonki pursued the Russians, lance in hand, and the
latter were obliged to use their guns to protect their retreat.'

TEE THREATENED DUEL.

Captain De Villa presented himself before Mr. ger
ham yesterday at Marlborough-street Police-office, to
enter into sureties to keen the peace, he having bees
challenged to fight a duel by a Mr. O'Connell. It woe
understood that the quarrel had reference to a female.
Mr. Bingham required Captain De Villa to enter into
his own recognisances in 1001., and one surety in the
like amount, to keep the peace.
Captain De Villa procured bail, and was discharged•
The challenger did not make his appearance.

THE LATE CASE OF STABBING.-77077V18 Sheer, who
stood charged with stabbing police-constable Barnard
Corrie, was this day brought before Mr. Henry, and re-
madided for further examination.
Inspector Dodd stated that the officer was still lying
at King's College Hospital, but the medical attendants
were of opinion that he is slowly recovering, and might
therefore be able at a future day to appear a:;ainst the
prisoner.
The prisoner said he was glad to hear this statement.

" The officers say that the Allies will first attack
Anapa.

There are 36,000 Turks and French, but no Eng-
lish, in the Dobrudscha.

DEATH OF THE KING OF SAXONY.

A telegraphic despatch received in Paris yester-
day from Munich conveys the melancholy intelli-
gence that the carriage of the King of Saxony was
overturned at Brenbuchel, situated between Munich
and Dresden, and that his Majesty was killed by a
kick from one of the horses.

His Majesty Frederick Augustus IV. was born
on the 18th of May, 1797. A serious insur-
rection having br-ken out at Dresden, in Septem•
her, 1830, against the authority of his uncle An
thony, the reigning Monarch, Prince Frederic
Augustus was named co-regent on the 13th of that
month, and succeeded to the throne on the 6th of
June, 1836, his father, Duke M:►ximilian, having
waived his right thereto. His Majesty having left
no issue, the crown descends to his brother, John
Nepoinuo Marie Joseph, born on the 12th of Decem
ber, 1801.

THE NEW GUN-BOATS.

The Arrow, screw steam despatch gun-boat, Lieut.
Commander Jolliffe, is now in so advanced a state that
it is expected she will be ready for sea on Saturday next.
She is at present taking her coals on board in the basin
at Woolwich.

The machinery for the six new gun-boats—Pelter,
Pincher, Ranger, Snapper, Gleaner, and Ruby—four of
which are now building in Pitcher's yard, Northfleet,
and two at Deptford dockyard, is now more than half
completed. They are of extraordinary steam power on
the high pressure principle and non•condensing. These
vessels are of light draught of water, and of very heavy
armament, and will in all probability realise more com-
pletely the true idea of what gun boats are required to
be in every useful respect. The whole of the machinery
will be ready to put into them immediately they are
launched.

THE WHITE SEA SQUADRON.
We have intelligence from Captain Odamanney to the
15th of July. He was at that date at Cross Island, with
the Miranda, 15, screw, Captain Lyons, and Brisk, 15,
Commander Seymour.

VISIT OF PRINCE RA DZTVILL TO PORTS-
MOUTH DOCKYARD.
Prince Radzivili, a general iu the Prussian army, ac-
companied by his son, visited Portsmouth dockyard
yesterday morning, and was conducted over it by the
superintendent of police, the higher officials seemingly
cold-shoulderi,g the doubtful visitor. He was shown
the principal objects in the establishment, and afterwards
went on board her Majesty's ship Colossus, to see a trial
of that ship's ninchineiy ; but it was not done, although
steam was up at an early hour, no one attending from
the contractor's to start the engines. To compensate the
g dlant Prussian for his disappointment, however, he
was invited to an excellent dejeuner by,Captain Robin-
son and his officers, and he seemed .to enjoy the, im-
promptu entertainment very much,

STOCKTON AND DARLINGTON.

The half-yearly meeting of this company wag held at
Darlington on Wednesday—Mr. Thomas Meynell in the
chair.

The Secretary having read the report,
Mr. PLEWS asked to have appended to the accounts a
statement of the debenture debt. He had called attention
to the want cf this at previous meetings.

After some explanation, as to the amount of the loans,
and as to the state of the account,

The CRAIRMAN said Mr. Plows' request should be com-
plied with in future. - -
Tho report was then adopted, and it was resolved that a
dividend of 5 per coLt. per annum should be paid on the
preference A shares, and of 4 per cent. per annum on the
preference B shares. That the 6 per cent, rentals be paid
on the shares in the Wear Valley and Middlesborough and
Redcar Railways for the half-year, and that a dividend at
the rate of 7:; per cent. per annum be declared, for the
half-year on the ordinary shares of the company.
vote of thanks to the chairman concluded the business.

SAMBRE AND MEUSE.
The half-yearly meeting of this company was held yes-
terday at the office, Moorgate-street; Mr. W. P. Richards
in the chair.

Mr. M. CiUUBB, the secretary, read the report, an ab-
strict of which appeared in The sun of yesterday.
The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the report,
said ho thought there was every probability of having a
good traffic on the lines when they had the means of carry-
ing it. The traffic for the past ti M-year amounted to
15,0001., being an increase over the receipts of the corres-
ponding period of 1853 of 4,000/. The expenses had been
rather more than they ought to be, but that would be re-
medied when the) were under more favourable circum-
stances.
Resolutions were passed adopting the report, and re-
electing Mr. Crake and Mr. Williamson, the retiring
directors.
A vote of thanks to tho chairman and directors con-
cluded the proceedings.

GREAT NORTHERN AND SOUTH YORKSHIRE.
It is stated that the differences which have so long ex-
isted between these two companies are on the point of be-
ing adjusted, and that the large coal traffic of the Great
Northern Company will shortly be worked on the South
Yorkshire liEe on terms satisfactory to both companies.

in reply to a question, stated
that he considered the position of the company very satis•

factory, and it only required the completion of the Taff
Vale extension and other lines to bring a very large traffic
on the railway.
The report was then adopted.
A discussion ensued, in the eourse of which several
I shareholders expressed an opinion in favour of having the
line in their own hands. They had no wish to quarrel with
the London and North-Western, and hoped the latter
would settle the matters of account between them in a
fair and equitable manner.
A resolution was passed expressing an opinion that it
was desirable to terminate the agreement with the Lon-
don and North-Western Company, and requesting the di-
rectors to make the necessary arrangements for working
the traffic. This resolution was afterwards modified, so
as to leave the matter in the hands of the directors.

A vote of thanks to the chairman and directors con-
cluded the proceedings.

EAST INDIAN.
The half-yearly meeting of this company was held
yes-
terday at the London Tavern, Mr. R. W. Crawford in the
chair.
The report, an abstract of which appeared in The Suva
of yesterday, was submitted.
The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the report,
said they had raised the sum of 1,000,0001. on debentures,
which would bear interest at the rate of 4A per cent. per
annum, and be convertible at any time during their cur-
rency into shares. The payment of these debentures and
the interest thereon was guaranteed by the East India
Company, and was to be repayable at the expiration of
three or five years. If these debentures remained out at
the end of five years the East India Company would be-
come holders of stock in the railway, so that the arrange-
ment could not be considered to affect prejudicially the
financial position of the company. The progress of the
works in India was perfectly satisfactory, and, in fact,
they were being pu,hed on to an extent that could hardly
have been hoped for. They were under contract with the
East India Company to complete the line to Delhi in seven
years ; but the directors saw no reason why it should not
be finished much within that period. They believed that
the line to a distance of 44 miles beyond Calcutta was
opened on the 15th of last month, and that it would be
finished to a distance of 121 beyond Calcutta at the end of
the year. Calcutta would then be connected with the
colleries at Burdwan, and they might very reasonably
expect to carry a large amount of coal, as there was an
enormous demand for it at Calcutta. As far as their ad-
vices enabled them to judge, the line would be opened to
Rajmahal in 1856, which would give them an immense
traffic to the central valley of the Ganges.
The report was then unanimously adopted.
A vote of thanks to the chairman concluded the pro-
ceedings.
