offer, M. Baudin and the female were on the 11th of
that month enticed on some pretext to a house at a place
called La Chesnaie, as SUMO little distaece from Nantes,
which house belonged to Crochu. There they were
offered refreshments, and a nar:eveie was mixed with their
wine. This produced sleep, and when they were asleep
they were murdered. Their bodies were then buried be.
neath a lame oak tree by the road side opposite a pond
called the Etang de la Perriere. No sooner was this state•
ment made than orders were transmitted from Rcuen by
telegraph t.) have L- arrested, and on Monday he was
lodged in prison. On the same day, in obediei.ce to
telegraphic orders, a search was tnade in the place indi-
cated for the remains of the victims, but, up to four in
the afternoon nothing had been found. The arrest of
M. L naturally created an immense sen ation at
Nantes, but it is not cemsi,lered improbable that Crochu
may have falseiy denounced him, to satisfy private
vengeance, or to postpone his own execution. Crochu's
house, in which the victims are said to have been mur-
dered, was in 1851 quite isolated, but since then a num-
ber of houses have been built and gardens formed around
it, so that the site is completely changed. It is expected
that Crochu himself will be removed to Nantes to assist
the authorities in the searching investigation which they
have instituted.

THE ROY AL CRUISE.

Her Majesty, Prince Albert, ant the Royal family
left the yacht at an early hour yesterday (Thursday)
morning, and, landing at Plym-outh Dockyard, went to
the tilt hammer house and bn board the screw steam•
ship Donegal, 101, and other ships in course of con-
struction. They then prriceeded to Keyham, and, hay-
ing spent a short time ir, the factory, drove along the sea
wall to the engine•ho•ase, by the south wall, and, pas
I.eft again by the main gate for Mount
ing the Himalaya,
Wise, where the 'troops were reviewed in the presence of
a large concourse of people, who expressed their gratifi
',Rated cheers.
cation
The bQye
.I:en then returned to the yacht, and continued
on boa'l until 4 o'clock, when the Fairy was put into
requfisition to convey the Royal family across the Sound,
ar,d up Catwater and the Laira to Saltram, the country
residence of Earl Morley, where about an hour was oc-
-1 cupied in driving through the woods and grounds of
this delightful seat. Shortly after 6, to the great satis-
taction 'f the inhabitants, Her Majesty drove through
the town of Plymouth and Stonehouse, and rejoined the
yacht. _ _ _

A Royal carriage from Paddington, drawn by special
engine, will be ready to-morrow (Friday) morning at
half-past 9, to convey the Queen from Plymouth. The
arrangements are made for this train to reach Exeter at
11, and Salisbury at half-past 3 o'clock.

After resting at Salisbury for the night, Her Majesty
will proceed to Gosport, whence she will embark for the
Royal residence at Osborne, Isle of Wight.
The Vivid yacht left Plymouth Sound early this morn-
ing for Osborne. The wind continues strong from the
southward, and there is much sea on in the Channel.

(BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.)
PLYMOUTH, FRIDAY MORNING.
Her Majesty the Queen, Prince Albert, and the Royal
family left Plymouth at half•past 9 o'clock this morning.
The train consisted of two first-class carriages, two
Royal saloons, and one second-class carriage, and is ap-
pointed to arrive at Salisbury at half-past 2, and in Gos•
port before 4 o'clock. The Royal yacht Victoria and
Albert sailed at the same time for Osborne.

Her Majesty was received at the station by Mr.
Kelly, the Mayor, and the corporation authorities ; and
Mr. Woolcombe, chairman, and other officials of the
South Devon Railway, and appeared much pleased by
the preparations hastily made for her accommodation.
This is the first time the South Devon Line has been
used by the Queen.

PRUSSIA.

A letter from Berlin, of the 12th, says that the
Dowager Empress and the Grand Duke Michael of
Russia, together with Prince Frederick William of
Prussia, had left for St. Petersburg ; the King had
accompanied them as far as Stettin. The King
had addressed the following to the Empress, his
sister :--
" Most High and Most Powerful Princess, Madam,
my beloved sister,—When, on the 17th April, 1817,
the King our father, who reposes in God, made known
to the regiment which was then the 3d Cuirassiers—a
regiment which before the enemy had distinguished itself
by its bravery amongst the brave—that H.I.H. the
Grand Duke Nicholas Paulowitch had become its chief,
his Majesty recommended the regiment to remain always
worthy of the benevolence of its august chief. H.M.
the Emperor Nicholas maintained his favour to the regi-
ment during nearly 40 years, and he deigned to send it
a salutation at the hour of his death—which salutation
must pass from the lips of the hero prince into the an-
nals of the military
i history of Prussia. On that ac-
count that regiment s intimately united with your im-
perial heart, and therefore I have thought myself war-
r anted in begging of yon to be kind enough to takeat the
head of the regiment of Cuirassiers Emperor Nicholas I. of
Russia the place which the late Emperor occupied.
Your Imperial Majesty will graciously accord my prayer,
and in consequence I nominate you by these presents
chief of the 3d Regiment of Cuirassiers Emperor Nicholas
I. of Russia, which in all time shall continue to bear
that glorious name, and will, with the aid of God,

EBOR HANDICAP.—Youatt Wm. Gray's advice is,
pepper the Coroner for the Ebor ; never mind the bet-
ting, as the " Playmea" are at work again. Warlock
also will miss fire, and my choice will win from end to
end. This is quite as good a thing as Ellington for the
Derby. Subscribers are requested to do as advised, as
this is my turn to cry. "Victorious." Terms—York

LONDON, FRIDAY, AUGUST 15, 18561

" Honesty is the best policy !" The old pro-
verb holds good with respeot to nations as to
individuals—as Russia may, ere long, find to her
cost. She has, however, acted since the ratifica-
tion of the " precious Treaty' as if a day- of reck-
oning could never arrive, and she could disregard
the terms and conditions which she joyously
accepted with impunity. There can be little

doubt that she has reserved a loophole for eva-
sion, by which she may wriggle out of the conse-
quences of her faithlessness: But she still retains
her hold on Kars and Reni and Ismail, and is
wilfully and wantonly destroying what is no
longer her own property. Specious excuses may
be put forward, and possibly some official offered
as a scapegoat ; but it is impossible to doubt that
the instructions for conduct so justly complained
of by the Allies has been received directly from
St. Petersburg, and that the CZAR is feeling his
way, in order to ascertain the full length of his
tether, and see how far he may bo permitted to
go with impunity !
The traditional policy, inaugurated more than
a century and a half since by PETER, has long proved
successful. Russia was perpetually advancing
her frontier, plundering her neighbours, more
by threats and menaces than by force of arms.
She was formidable because she assumed to be so
—and became accustomed to the tame submission
that was so generally accorded by weaker Powers
to her demands, however unconscientious and
untenable. The resistance offered by the Western
Powers took the then AUTOCRAT by surprise. He
had flattered himself that there could be no real
alliance between France and England, and he
vainly imagined that because his "friend of forty
years' standing, the dear and excellent ABER-
DEEN," was at the head of the Cabinet of St.
James's, that ho had nothing to dread from this
country. Re therefore made the long-planned
movement, and selected as his instrument one
whose arrogance and audacity must necessarily
provoke tho resistance which he fondly imagined
would deliver Constantinople into his grasp.
In one respect, and one only, he was mistaken.
The German Powers were as pliant and yielding
as he had anticipated. It was quite obvious that
he had nothing to fear from Austria
unless the chances of war went against
him. She was, as in the olden time, "always
strong upon the strongest side ;" and he had no
reason to suppose that her " humorous ladyship,"
who had so long clung to his side, would array
herself against him at the last and greatest emer-
gency. Prussia he knew to be unworthy or
notice, and the conduct of " CLICQUOT" verified
the accuracy of his calculation. But England
and France for once were united. The dear
ABERDEEN could not remain deaf to the voice of
public opinion.
He procrastinated and tempo-
ised to the last, but, despite his individual pre-
dilections, was forced onward by the progress of
events. There was, unfortunately for the CzAR,
no Imperial Prince to consolidate the NAZOZZON

ON TRUE di FALSE SPERMATORRHA,
with the View of distinguishing the Imaginary from the
Real Sufferers vndeti this disease, and Correcting of wide-spread
Errors in relation to their Treatment and Cure.

Translated from the German of Dr. PICKFORD.
"Dr. Pickford is known to English readers by his frequent practi-
cal contributions to German medical literature. This is the first
time, he informs as, that he has addressed himself to the non-medi-
cal reader. We trust this may not be the last, if he shall detect any
other equally flagrant evil which it may be in his power to cor-
rect."—London Medical Gazette. " The tribe of Quiet Sympathisers,'
snd ' Medical Friends,' are mercilessly exposed ; and if this book
could find its way into the hands of those who suffer from the com-
olaint of which it treats, we are satisfied that many hundreds would
be saved much needless suffering of body and mind, and what is of
Lass importance, though it is that which the quacks most prize—
much money ...... This volume is well qualified to put an end to the
empirical system of treating Spennatorrhcea, and to place the treat-
ment upon a more rational and physiological basis. It is, therefore,
likely Pei do much good."—Medical Circular.

AN ACT .OF GRATITUD.r.

A lettor from Berlin relates the following in-
teresting anecdote --
"A few days ago a hale old man, in a peasant's cos-
tume, but decorated with several erders and crosses,
was seen to ascend the flight of steps leading to the ter-
race of the palace of Sans-Souci. A sentinel posted
there stopped him, informing him that he could not be
allowed to go further, as the palace \\las inhabited by
the Empress of Russia. Why, that's the very reason I
must go on,' replied the veteran sturdily. An alteren-
tionensued, which was interrupted by the arrival of
Colonel Count Von Alventleben, first equerry to the
Empresz, who asked what was the matter. Thu old
man replied. that he had walked nine Gerinan miles to
•Bee the Empress before his death, he having saved her
in her youth from a watery grave. On learning this,
the Count bid him wait, and having informed the Em-
press of ate occurrence was ordered to introduce him.
The veteran approached the Empress with a firm step,
and then exclaimed : I recegnise her well, though she
is much changed.' He then reminded her Majesty of
nf
an occurrence which took place in 1806, in the
private

happened,,bent over her child, took from her neck a

Limit, went at prices equal to former sales ; lemons ad-
vanced 3s to 4s per package, and at Liverpool with less dis-
position to sell at the present figure.

We are able to state on undoubted authority that an
offer of a division in the Indian army at Bengal has
been made to Major-General Windham, the hero of the
Redan. The appointment is said to be worth at least
4,000/. yearly, He has also been offered appointments
at the lonian islands, and the Cape of Good Hope. He
has three mouths to decide which to accept,-7-Bury

THE CZAR AND GEN. MOURAVIEFF.

A letter from St. Petersburg of the sth, in the Patrie,
says :—" Some apprehension is felt here
as to the army
now operating in Asia under General Chruleff. It is
well known that officer had advanced too near the Per-
sian frontier, and that his troops, being threatened in
dank by the Kurds and the Circassians, were forced to
beat a retreat across impracticable wastes. The re-
moval of General Mouravieff has been attributed to this
imprudent movement, which was, however,
it is said,
made contrary to his advice. With respect to his resig-
nation interpretations vary. It is said by some that
the superseding of General Mouravieff, and his replace-
ment as governor of the Caucasus, have been caused by
a difference of opinion existing between him and the
Emperor on the subject of the surrender of Kars, This
iAst !nisei= iR the most accredited.%

PRUSSIA.

The Hamburg correspondent of the Brussels
Independance, writes :—" The news which we have
received from Stockholm leaves no doubt as to the
approaching marriage of Prince Oscar, second son
of the King, with the Princess Mary of Cambridge.
The Prince will leave almost immediately, with
the Queen Mother for Paris. From thence he will
proceed to London, to make a somewhat prolonged
stay, and will complete the arrangements for the
projected union. The fortune of the Princess of
Cambridge amounting only to about 3,0001. a year,
it is believed at Stockholm that at the next meeting
of the four Chambers of the Diet the King will ask
for an annual grant for his son, in order to enable
that Prince to worthily sustain his rank and that of
his court. This project already excites much pub-
lic attention."

Rosa Gallendi, aged three years ; Julia Gallendi, aged
one year and eight months ; and Sarah Gallendi, aged
two months. The deceased, who were described as re-
markably fine children, were left alone in a room by
their mother, in which was a lighted fire, on Thursday
last, and on her return in about half an hour smoke was
issuing from the crevices of the door. Some of the
neighbours, at great personal risk, managed to extricate
the children frora the burning room, but all three were
dead. Their clothes were not burned, or even scorched,
and it was clear that they bad died of suffocation. The
evidence, though taken at great length, did not throw
any light upon the cause of the fire, which, according
to the statement of one of the firemen, seemed to have
originated in a cupboard near the fireplace. The coroner
having summed up, the jury after some consultation,
returned a verdict to the effect that the three children
were suffocated in consequence of the fire breaking out,
but that how the said fire was occasioned there was not
bufficient evidence to prove.

and crew, on Sunday, March 30, in lat. 29 11 N., long.
34 26 W. :—To-day (March 30), at 11 a.m., the weather
being beautifully \calm and clear, the man at the helm
called my attention to something malting down from the
S.E. towards the ship on the starboard quarter. I took
the glass, and looked in that direction, and immediately
saw that it was a large sea serpent ; and when about
400 yards off the ship he altered his course, passing
a A-ay to the north. R appeared in sight full 35
minutes, and, had the same appearance that I have be-
fore seen represented in drawings, but without the hairy
mane ; in fact, looked like a very large conger eel, It
was full 40 feet long above water, and from tb.s wake he
left I should ',fay- 60 feet would not be an exaggeration."

MIRING INTELLIGENCE.—Milling share still show a
downward tendency, and, in craisequence, purchasers
hold aloof, waiting for the reaction which must, it is
supposed, take place sooner or later. Perhaps one cause
of dividend mines sharing the general depression may be
found in the fact, that the promised increase in the rate
of profits, upon which shares rose eon4iderably, has not
yet been realised.—Miming Journal of this day.

THE FOUR MISSING ARTICLES OF

PEACE.

We are assured that the four missing Articles
of Peace were prevented from appearing by the
wish of Lord Clarendon himself ; and that they
are of such a nature that all England will exult
over them as containing everything to be desired
—more especially an indemnity for all the ex-
penses of the War, which will relieve us from the
Income Tax. His Lordship, it is thought, pre-
ferred to enjoy the pleasure of first communicating
them to Parliament himself ; but the Chancellor
of the Exchequer was of course fully aware of
them when he granted the 8,0001. for fire-works.

THE IJNTERvAb CONDITION OF
TURKEY.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

SlR,—Pence is re-established, bat have we attained
the object so much sought far ?----have we improved the
condition of the unfortunate population of Turkey ?
Promises and Hatti-Humayouns we have in numbers,
bout
n are thley am obeyedso by the governors of the Turkish
w
to say no. The condition of Turkey
towns
trry
is worse now than ever, as I learn from friends residing
there ; and from a letter of one I extract the following,
which I hope you will be able to publish in your valu-
able columns,' that it may become known, and then, per-
haps, a remedy attempted.
My friend writes :—"Tbe country is infested with
robbers. We hear of nothing else but murders, and
people carried to the mountains for ransom. Stores in
this town have been plundered, but where are the
authorities ?—what Las become of the firmans ? The
guards sent to protect the tr.winees commit the greatest
enormities—enormities which will bring disgrace on the
allies if .hey overlook them. It a Christian has a pretty
daughter he is sure to become the victim of the precious
commander cf the Guards. We have bad several cases
lately of young fema'es being carried away by force, and
when the bishop insists on their being brought befc re the
miz/ish, to declare herself that she has willingly embraced
Islami-mn, they bring a Turkish woman into the court
covered with her garmack (and thus rendering it impos-
sible to be recognised), who declares that she willingly
accepts the "true faith." Such is the state of 'affairs
here, and such things the poor Christians suffer. Where
is Christian Europe ? Where are the protectors of the
Christians in Turkey ?"

Tbul my friend writes, and I trust you will find a
corner in your valuable paper for this ; and may it be
the. cau-e (.1 some improvement. —I am, &c.,
April 25, 1856. A CHRISTIAN.
