THE ATTACK ON BOMARSUND.

The most obvious inferences to be drawn from
the success of the attack on Bomarsund is, that the
Russian forts, if they are generally constructed on
the same principles and of the same materials as
those of Bomarsund, cannot withstand for any
lengthened time a close fire of heavy guns, even
when those guns are very few in number, and that
the difficulty of fighting in casemated batteries is
greatly increased by the fire of Minie rifles, which
can now be directed with great precision into the
embrasures. The fire of the ships at the long range
at which they were compelled to lie acted chiefly as
a diversion in favour of the troops, and produced
no decisive effect on the forts ; but it still remains
to be ascertained what would be the effect of the
broadside of a three-decker on a fort of this descrip-
tion, and whether the results produced in eight
hours and a half by three 32-pounder guns could
not be produced in half an hour by a fire of greater
rapidity and of twenty times that weight of metal.
No breaching battery that ever was constructed is
at all equal to the fire of a line-of-battle ship, but,
on the other hand, a land battery is far more pro-
tected from the fire of the enemy ; and the question
is whether a ship could float long enough under a
severe fire from land batteries to silence and de-
stroy them. In the late operations, although the
ships were several times in very critical positions,
from running on the ground within range of the
enemy's red-hot balls, none of them appear to have
suffered materially; and, though the Admiral was
compelled to order the Penelope to throw her guns
overboard, which was done with great presence of
mind, he probably relied on the probability of re-
covering them when the Alaud Isles were in our
own possession. Upon the whole, this experiment
is not only highly satisfactory and honourable to
all those who were engaged in it, but it leads us to
anticipate more important achievements. The
season is still long enough to admit of further en-
terprises upon the Russian coast ; the allied forces
are now on the spot, and within a few hours' sail
of any point in the Baltic ; and we hope to learn
that the allied commanders are taking steps to pur-
sue that career of success which has been opened
by the fall of Bomarsund.—Times.

COURT-MARTIAL ON LIEUT. PERRY.

THE LATE COLLISION ON THE SODTII-
- RAILWAY. • :-‘•

1

•
Among the passengers in the train which met" with • -
the accident at Croydon was the Rev. Maynard Collie;
of La.ndlin-park, near Hythe, in Kent, a clergyman
the Church of England,
,who, with Miss Lyndon, thet - 1
governess of his family, was in the first class carriage
nearest to the engine. The rev, gentleman intending to
visit the Crystal Palace, had taken with him six little
girls, purposing to give them a treat, but these he had
placed in a second class carriage just behind, and they
sustained no injury. Mr. Currie and Miss Lyndon
were less fortunate. Mr. Carrie had just remarked
that he was sorry he had come out that day,
as the excessive speed at which the train was pro-
ceeding made him fear an accident would happen,
when the collision took place. The account that
Miss Lyndon gives is that she recollects the- car-
riage in which she was seated flying into the air,
and then coming down again, so that she was head
foremost. She then lost all consciousness. Some idea
may be formed of the serious injuries received by this
lady from the fact, that, at first, she was placed along-
side the remains of the poor man Gammon, it having
been concluded from her perfect inanimate state that life
was extinct. She, however, in time exhibited signs of
returning animation, and was removed without delay to
the Crown Tavern, where she still lies. It is somewhat
singular that both Mr. Currie and herself sustained
almost exactly similar injuries, both, in addition to
severe bruises and concussion, having had the nose and
an eye much injured. Mr. Currie's clothes were com-
pletely studded with the splintered wood. When
restored to consciousness he was conveyed home. Each
thought the other had been killed on the spot, and re-
mained under that impression till the next morning ;
and the removal of so afflicting an idea was, as may be
imagined, a source to each of the utmost gratification.
A young woman, said to be a relative of the poor man
Gammon, and seated between him and a female named
Launders, also had a truly narrow escape. When
rescued from the shattered carriage, her dress was found
to be cut from the back of the left hip, round to nearly
the front of the abdomen, as if by a knife, and on the
right side her dress was covered with blood, so that those
f
wohuond removed her were, fearful that she was fatally in-
jured.thSath et

night at ten o'clock, the operation being performed by
Mr. South, was dead. On inquiry at St. Thomas's Hos-
pital yesterday it was stated that the unfortunate woman
was going on as favourably as could be expected • she,
however remains in a very low condition. The Surrey
Gazette, received yesterday, states that a woman, name
unknown, both legs broken, has died since the acci-
dent ; but does not state when or where. No such death
has taken place at either of the great metropolitan
hospitals. At Guy's Hospital the three cases there are
progressing favourably.

THE TURKISH LOAN.

The anticipated letter from M. Drouyn de Mugs
on behalf of the French Government with regard to
the Turkish loan has been obtained, and is precisely in
the same terms as that already furnished by Lord Cla-
rendon. Meanwhile, a first warning has been given to
the Pays for lending itself to the attempts of speculators,
who aro also apparently busy on this side, to circulate
idle statements with the view of influencing the market.
It was recently pointed out in the Tints that the
Russian war, so far from having been a cause of
financial damage to England, had operated as t.
check to a new spirit of inflation, which had just
begun to manifest itself; and which, if allowed to
pursue its course, would have ended in loss far
greater than the expenditure now in progress. To com-
plete the view of the satisfactory course of events, and
of the solid prospects of the national credit, some other
considerations must be added. When war was first de.
Glared, it was considered that in any case one of its evils
would be a serious increase of the public debt, and the
fact that, notwithstanding the partial clamour which was
raised for an immediate creation of fresh Consols after a
heavy fall had already occurred, the necessity for this step
has been wholly avoided seems a point of congratulation
for which the most sanguine could scarcely have hoped. But
it remains to be seen that the circumstances under which
this result has been realised are of a character greatly
more gratifying than the world has generally supposed.
The possibility that, though the sacrifices to which they
now cheerfully submit, the war may be carried to an
end without the burden of debt being augmented, would
be a sufficient reward far the people of England to con-
template. They are able, however, to recall that their
present efforts were not needed to avert an increase of
the national liabilities, but simply to prevent the prospect
being destroyed of an early and large diminution of
them. The annual charge for the funded debt at this
time is 27,443,7111., but at periods between now and the
sth of Jan. 18G0 that is to say, little more than five
years—it will undergo a reduction to 24,236,2111. In
the course of six weeks the stock known as Three-
and-a-Quarter pee Cents. will become converted into
" New Three per Cents.," guaranteed for 20 years, by
which an annual saving will be effected of 600,0001.
In October, 1859, annuities expire to the amount of
306,0001., and in January, 1860, the extinction of the
Long Annuities, &c., will involve a saving of 1,599,5001.,
while meanwhile there are sundry smaller claims of
tontine and other life annuities, which it is estimated
will fall in to the extent of 702,0001. A total reduction
is thus arrived at of :3,207,5001., and consequently a re-
sult which, in its effect on the yearly taxation, will be
the same as if 107,000,0001. of Three per Cent. Debt
had been paid off. In 1867, moreover, a further relief
will take place in the expiration of the annuity held by
the Bank of England, and usually termed the "dead
weight," amounting to 585,7001., or the equivalent of an
annual payment of 19,520,000/. Three per Cents. Hence
it will be seen that, notwithstanding the predictions of
some foreign writers as to the ruin that was to fall upon
Great Britain whenever she should find herself compelled
to resort to hostilies, she is in a position that would enable
her during thenext 13 years to borro A' nearly 130,000,000/.
or at the rate of 10,000,0001. par annum, without placing
herself, as far as annual taxation is concerned, in less
favourable circumstances than she occupies at this mo-
ment. It must be remarked, too, that although it is a
common impression that the present generation have
failed to avail themselves sufficiently of the advantages
of a long peace in reducing the national obligations, a
reference to the statistics of the subject for the past
30 years will show that, while more might undoubtedly
have been done, there is no ground for heavy reproach.
The principal of the debt, it is true, has been reduced
only to the extent of about 41 per cent., but the annual
amount payable for interest has been reduced nearly 8
per cent., notwithstanding the emancipation loan of
15,000,0001. in 1535, and the Irish famine loan of
8,000,00 C/. in 1547. Under these circumstances there
seems nothing more than is natural in the prices which
the British funds are now found to maintain, or in the
fulfilment of the opinion ventured upon in March last,
that the range of Consols throughout the worst periods
of the coming struggle might be such as to excite con-
gratulation and surprise.—Times.

CREMORNE GARDENS.-Mr. Simpson's annual benefit
takes place this day. The preparations for it are upon
a most liberal and extended scale, in which the whole
resources of the establishment, aided by several special
novelties, will be employed. It will be the grand event
of the season, and we trust Mr. Simpson will have
a bumper indeed. The season has, we fear, been
hitherto far from prosperous, owing to the unsettled
state of the weather.

FATAL ACClDENT.—Yesterday, between one and two
o'clock, as a fine little boy was crossing Drury-lane, near
the Olympic Theatre, he fell down, and before he could
be extricated the wheels of a waggon bad passed over
his head. The child was conveyed to King's College
Hospital, but he was quite dead. No blame is attached
to the carman.

DETERMINED ACTS OF SELF-DDSTRUCTION._ Yester.
day forenoon, Mr. Baker, the coroner, received infor-
mation at his residence, Chester-terrace, Regent's-park,
of the following acts of self-destruction :—The first was
committed by a man named William Drew. On the 15th
inst., he was admitted into the workhouse of St.
Matthew, Bethnal-green, having attempted self-destruc-
tion with a table-knife, while in a state of fever, and
with which he cut his throat. He was recovering, but

After a long and successful innings cholera has at last
" caught him out. He died at his house in Islington.
on Tuesday, of the prevailing epidemic. The deceased
was much respected by the cricketing world, who gave
him the title of " The Nonpareil." Lillywhite introduced
the round bowling.

A SIGNIFICANT FACT has just transpired at Berlin.
The king has ordered that a marble tablet, with az
inscription in letters of gold, shall be placed at the spot
where the first soldier fell in 1348 from the fire of the
insurgents. This proceeding has given rise to some
protestations, but which have led to several persons
being arrested or summoned to appear before the
mag►etrates.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

MANSION-HOUSE.—Cornelius Prout Newcombe, of
the firm of Newcombe, Griffiths, and Co., carrying on
the business of shipbrokers and emigration agents, at
Gracechurch-street, appeared before Mr. Alderman
lumphrey, upon a summons, at the instance of Henry
larding, charging him with a violation of the 44th sec-
tion of the Passengers Act of 1852. The justice-room
was crowded with emigrants.
Mr. Maynard (of the firm of Crowder and Maynard),
nstructed by the Emigration Commissioners, appeared
for the complainant.
Captain Lean, the Government emigration agent, was
also present to watch the proceedings.
Mr. Parry appeared for the defendant. Mr. Plews
represented the estate of the defendant, who had been
declared a bankrupt.
_ _ _ _

Mr. Maynard said—l am instructed-to attend here on
the part of her Majesty's Emigration Commissioners, Capt.
Lean having brought the present case before me. The
charge is against the defendant, as one of a firm who
have carried on the trade of the packet service between
this country and Australia, under the title of the Tern.
perance Packet Service. The complaint arises in respect
of the Jane Green, a ship of 850 tons registered burthen,
which was advertised to sail for Melbourne, according to
some of the contracts, in June, to some in July, and to
others in August. The passengers who paid their pas-
sage money to the defendant have been unable to pro-
ceed on their voyage for want of a ship being supplied
for that purpOse, and many of them would have been
totally without means of subsistence if the hand of cha-
rity had not come to their aid. By the 44th section of
the Passengers Act it is enacted, "That if any intending
passenger, either by hit-waif or by any other person,
shall have contracted for a passage for himself, or for
him and his family, in any ship proceeding on any
voyage to which this act extends, an i shall be at the
place of embarkation at the time appointed for that pur-
pose in and by such contract, and shall apply far such
Passage, and shall, on demand, pay or tender such part
of the passage money not already pail as shall be payable
under such contract previously to embarkation, and if.
owing to the previous departure of the ship in which
passage shall have been engaged, or to the want of room
therein,, or to the neglect, refusal, or other fault of the
owner, charterer, or master thereof, or of the party with
Whom or on whose account such passage shall hive been
contracted for, such paAsenger shall not obtain passage
in such chip,
broersa fhoatiuot, together with all the imrne-
mediate his family who may be 'included in
such contract, obtain a passage to the same port in some
other equally eligible ship, to sail within feu days from

passage." I am instructed to ask, at your hands for a
return of the money the defendant shall be shown to
have received from the complainant, as well as such por-
tion
of the sum of 10/. as you may think him him en-
titled to under the section of the act that I have just

Mr. Francis Robert Newton was brought from Horse.
monger-lane gaol, and his brother William Philip Now-
ton being in attendance in discharge of his sureties and
recognisances, the case was called on.
Mr. Wontner was in attendance for the prosecution,
and Mr. Depree, the solicitor, and Mr. Clarkson, the
barrister, were present for the defence.
Mr. Wontner, addressing Mr. Elliott, observed that
when the present charge was last before his worship,
three medical gentlemen had been called and examined,
and all deposed to the then state of Mr. Ker, and de-
clared also that they could not, from the condition the
sufferer was then in, take it on them, within a fortnight,
to pronounce any opinion on his case. From that time,
and up to the present moment, he was sorry to say that
no favourable change was perceptible in the condition of
the unfortunate gentleman. On the contrary, he under-
stood that Mr. Ker was much worse, and that symptoms
of an unfavourable nature began to present themselves,
and therefore he did not think it necessary to trouble
the medical gentlemen to attend. He produced a certi-
ficate, of which the following is a copy :
" We certify that since our last report, on Wednesday,
the 16th inst., Mr. Stewart Ker's condition has been,
and still is, such that we are unable. to pronounce him
out of danger. " HENRY CHARLES JOHNSON.
" JOHN STANLEY CHRISTIAN.

" 56, Brornpton-crescent, Aug. 23, 1854."
Mr. Clarkson said he ha 3 the honour to appear on
behalf of the family of the young men who were unhap-
pily implicated in this affair, and observed that, how-
ever eminent and respectable Mr. Johnson and Mr.
Christian might be, the certificate produced and signed
by them was such that he could not understand. Appli-
cations had been made by the parents of the defendants
that Mr. Ker, who, he was sorry to say, was the sufferer
in the unfortunate rencontre, might be seen by line of
two medical men they had named, so that their natural
anxieties might be satisfied as to the real state of that
gentleman, but this was refused. The certificate pro-
duced did not convey that the patient was in a state of
absolute danger, and he (Mr. Clarkson) would beg that
the magistrate would interpose, and give an order that
are eminent surgeon—say Mr. Ferguson, or any other
gentleman that might be fixed on—might be allowed to
see Mr. Ker, and the family would be but too ready and
willing to pay all expenses attendant on such a visit.
This request he (Mr. Clarkson) considered but reason-
able, and he trusted the magistrate would consider it
within the scope of his duty and grant the order.
Mr. Elliott hid not think he would be justified in giv-
ing such an order, particularly as it had been alleged that
such a step might be attended with danger. He had no
wise to keep (me of t!ee parties in prison beyond the
period when the suffering gentleman was pronounced
oat of danger. ha had stated that whetiever a
certificate reached him to that effect, he should cause
the prsoner to be brought hefere him for the purpose of
being discharged au the necessary securities.
Mr. Wontuer remarked that, from inquiries he had
made, it was his opinion that Mr. Ker would not reco-
rer, but should he be in a condition to be seen, or the
slightest improvement take place, he should suggest
to the medical gentlemen at present attending him to
call on Mr. Ferguson as requested.
Mr. Elliott repeated he felt it to be his duty to re-
mand the prisoners for another week, but should take
bail as before for the younger brother, William, in the
former sum of himself in 1,000/., and two sureties in
500/. etch.
The former bail was enlarged, and the younger pri-
soner set at large, and his brother sent.back to Horse-
monger-lane Gaol.

ROYAL FREE HOSPITAL—Two more deaths from Asi-
atic cholera occurred yesterday in the wards of the above
hospital. The first was that of a carpenter named Wind-
sor, residing in Judd-street, New-road; and the second
that of Catherine Dodd, who was brought from some of
the courts at Islington in which cholera has so much
prevailed. There are now 16 patients in the hospital
suffering from this disease, all of whom, under the care
of Messrs. Marsden and Curgenven, are doing well.
Since its first outbreak nearly 40 cases have been ad-
mitted, of which only 5 have proved fatal.
IRELAND.—The reports to-day from the northern dis-
tricts are, happily, more cheering. In Belfast the pesti-
lence has not increased, and the medical men there have
come to the conclusion that the type of the disease is
less malignant than that of former years. A local paper
(the Chronicle) thus reports :—" We have been rather
surprised to see a statement in one of our local contem-
poraries that the deaths from cholera have been 60 per
cent. of the cases. Those who have taken the trouble to
investigate the matter will have perceived that, instead
of 60, there were not more than 16 per cent. deaths of
bona fide cholera cases. There is, no doubt, much cho-
lera in town ; but that is no reason why we should rank
every serious disease which ends fatally under that head.
There really has been little or no increase in proportion
to the population. From 12 o'clock (midnight) on Sun-
day (midnight) on Sunday to 9 o'clock last night, there
were) 11 new cases of cholera and two of diarrhoea, with
but one deatb. We still agree with Dr. M'Gee that the
disease is of a milder type than usual, or the deaths
would bear a much more signal proportion. There is
not a single case in Hollywood, so far as is yet been
known, although there has been a keen ove for detection
of the premonitory symptoms. On Thursday the official
return will exhibit the disease from its commencement
this year."

A brief Parliamentary piper has been issued, upon the
motion of Mr. Muntz, which shows that the price paid
for printing and gumming the penny receipt stamp is 7d.
per 1,000. A note annexed to the return states that
the sheets of paper on which the receipt stamps are im-
pressed are about double the size of those used for post-
age purposes, and that the gum is of a very expensive
king.

In cross-examination by Mr. Pelham the witness said
the viscera was diseased, and the injury to the ribs
would give a shock to the system and cause death. Not-
withstanding the deceased's age, the disease of the vis-
cera, and the chronic asthma, he believed the old man
would have been still alive if his ribs had not been in-
jured. None of the fragments of the broken ribs had
penetrated the lungs. If the injury had happened to a

have caused death. He had no doubt death was accele-

THE MORTALMORTALITYOF GATESHEAD.—In the report of the
Cholera Commissioners at Gateshead, just published, it
is stated that the mortality amon, every thousand inha-
bitants of Gateshead during the last fifteen years has
been 30.1 per cent. per annum. The commissioners re-
mark that bearing in mind the great sanitary capabili
ties of Gateshead, they cannot doubt that this actual an-
nual death-rate is at least double the net ural or necessary
death-rate of the place ; that in the assumption pre-
viously made with regard to Newcastle, and supposing
the population of Gateshead during that period to have
averaged 20,000, it would follow that, on the average of
these 15 years, some 230, 300, or even 320 lives have
annually been sacrificed in Gateshead, owing to the
artificial aggravation of natural diseases ; and that, con-
sidering the number of not fatal cases which must have
occurred for each of these fatal cases of artificially aggra-
vated disease, even the above figures will convey but a
faintidea of the afflictions entailed upon the inhabitants
by the absence of proper sanitary arrangements.
NOT MARRIED.--The Syracuse (U.S.) Standard says :
—" Our readers- will recollect the case of a young lady
of this city, mentioned in the Standard a day or two
-since, who went crazy because her lover deserted her for
another lady.
Rumour has it now that the faithless swain
has hard work to make his marriage stick. The story is
substantially as follows :—At Clifton Springs, a short time
since, a gay party was assembled, among them Miss M. of
Buffalo, and Frank N., of Syracuse. In the course of the
evening gaiety began to flag, aid some one proposed a
marriage. Up springs the gay Miss M. and expressed a
willingness to be the bride. She was followed by Frank
N., who joyfullyconsented to be the groom. A young gen-
t leman present, who sometimes deals in jewellery, and
is well known in Syracuse circles, performed the cere-
mony, and the merry couple made the usual responses.
After the ceremony was over, the groom gave his bride
to understand that he considered it binding. She de-
murred, and started for her home at Buffalo, the baffled
bridegroom following her, and pressing his claim at the
house of her father. He was sent about bis' business,
with some striking specimens of parental indignation
from the lady's father. Matters remained in status quo,
and the lovely damsel remains a " wedded maid." The
gentleman claims her as his lawful wife, and her rela-
tives deny the claim."
OMER PACHA AND THEFINEARTS.—Omer Paella seems
bent on innovation. He not only confines himself to a
single wife—who, contrary to Moslem etiquette, sits at
his table, receives his friends, chats with them, gives
them tea, and plays on a civilised piano—but positively
carries in his suit an artist. As Horace Vernet goes with
Prince Napoleon to the East to cover acres of canvas
with heroic-deeds—should the allies achieve them—for
Versailles, a painter follows Omer Pacha, and is now
engaged on a large picture to commemorate the glorious
defence of Silistria. Horace Vernet is, less fortunate than
his rival in the subjects yet presented for his pencil ;
these, no doubt, will come in time. Meanwhile, it is
pleasant to find this very remarkable man, Omer Pacha,
combatting In favour 'of the arts an old and obstinate I
prejudice of the Moslems against pictures, —Atlienaum.

CONSTANTINOPLE.—The largest open space in Con-
stantinople is the Hippodrome. It is at present 300 yards
lung by 150 wide. In it formerly stood the celebrated
group of four horses, originally brought from Rome,
and aftewards removed to the cathedral of St. Mark at
Venice. It still contains the grand obelisk from Thebes,
the broken pyramid of Constantine shorn of its bronzed
plates, and between the two the hollow spiral brass column
which once supported the golden tripod in the temple at
Delphi. The Hippodrome continues to be used by the
Turks for feats of activity, both on horseback and on
foot. There are numerous libraries at Constantinople ;
the number of volumes which they contain may be esti-
mated at 80,000, reckoning both MSS. and printed books.
The literature of Arabia, Persia, and Turkey, is repre-
sented in them ; and the collection includes philosophical
and theological works, poetry, history, books of science,
and an immense number of those treatises on conduct
and manners, to which the Turks attach almost as much
importance as the Chinese themselves. The printing-
press does its work at Constantinople, but as yet only
slowly. The periodical press has produced a sufficiently
large number of journals, printed sometimes in French,
sometimes in Turkish or Greek.—Turkey: the People,
Country, and Government.
SCOTLAND UNDER-PEOPLED.—Allowing for the cold-
ness of the northern clitr ate, as well as for the necessary
sterility of the hills, on the one band, and on the other
for the salubrity of the air, for the energy of the inhabi-
tants, for the mineral worth, for the adaptation of the
country, covered by water-power in its mountain streams,
to furnish healthy sites of manufactures and towns of
various kinds, the conclusion appears to be inevitable,
that Scotland is underpeopled, and that its resources
have not yet been developed to the same extent as the
resources of England,--Cenns Report.

into by the defendant, and I admit that by the 44th sec-
tion he was bound to return the passage-money
wausnlneosst
he fulfilled his contract; which, however,
able to do, from circumstances which I will hereafter
state.
Henry Harding—l was a stonemason,liviniaetnl3t 01n,
Livington-street, Vauxhall-bridge road, before w
board the emigrant vessel Jane Green. I entered
into
a contract with the defendant to provide me, n/ wife
and two cone, with a passage to Melbourne, and I paid
801, in fulfilment of the contract. The ship was to sail
from Louden on the sth inst. She did not sail, and no
other vessel has beeri.provided for us. I gave up my
business to go three weeks ago, and have been obliged to
remain on board, havinig nowhere else to go to.
By Alderman Humphery—There are 136 emigrants on
board. The ship is lying in the East India Import
Dock. There is no appearance of her sailing. 'We had
no provisions yesterday, thotigh we had some issued to-
day. The vessel is not provided with provisions for the
voyage, Ido not know where the provisions came from ,
