pied three boats ; on their return home, and just as
they had reached that portion of the Thames which
ekirts the Home park, by Albert•bridge, the last boat,
in which there were only two rowers, capsized. Mr.
Ingram, her Majesty's head gardener, seeing the acci-
dent, called to the other boats, which promptly re-
turned, and ono of the young men managed to cling to
his boat until lie was rescued, but his companion, a fine
young fellow of 18, of promising talent, not being able
to swim or reach the boat, was unfortunately drowned.
The name of the deceased was Bushby, that of his more

to state that they were all perfectly sober. The de-
ceased will be buried with military honour,-., when all
the band will attend.

LATEST NEWS.

BERLIN, Jum 12.

The Emperor Alexander has arrived at Riga.
The population of the town and the surrounding
country were assembled and received his Majesty
with the most enthusiastic acclamations.

OUR ARMY IN THE CRIMEA.
(From the Second Edition of the Times.)
CAMP BEFORE SEBASTOPOL, MAY 31.
If the army continues healthy it is, under
Heaven, owing to the great care which is taken of
the men, and above all to the moderate tempera-
ture which has prevailed for the last week, notwith-
standing the sirocco, which has blown at least a hot,
warm, fever-compelling, irritating-dust-driving
wind from the north has lasted so long. The thermo-
meter has rarely risen a degree above 84, and the
average may be set down at 78 deg. in the shade.
Every one is anxious to get away—the infection of
moving off is spreading rapidly. No wonder. The
plateau is like a dirty Aldershott now that one
knows every in and out of Bakshi Serai, Simphe-
ropol, and the south coast—has poked about every
northern fort, examined every ruined battery, and
counted every embrasure between Constantine and
Mangup-Kale.
One trace of our presence is fast disappearing—
I mean the railroad, the plant of which has been
sold to the Turkish Government. The rails to the
Sardinian camp have been removed by the Army
Works Corps, and the same body is now engaged
taking up the main line from the camp. There
are only 400 of them in the Crimea. A party of
these are engaged in raising some fine Russian
anchors at Careening Bay.
The army is well drilled, and the fine weather is
adapted for field days and manoeuvring and is
made the most of. Lord. Gough has not yet
arrived, but he was at Constantinople we hear on
Thursday.
I am credibly informed that the French army
buried 23,000 men in the Crimea this winter alone.
Exclusive of that enormous item, our losses and
theirs are very nearly in proportion. Out of
200,000 men they lost more than 40,000. In our
army of 97,000 men we lost upwards of 20,000.
Of course neither French nor English ever bad such
a number of men together at any one time ; these
figures relate to the total number of men landed
from time to time in the enemy's country.

FRANCE.

PARIS, THURSDAY EVENING.

The following circular has been addressed by the
Minister of War to the Generals in command of
the different military divisions :

"Paris, 9th June.
"General,—At the news of the disasters caused by
the inundations subscriptions were opened for the assist-
ance of the sufferers. It is proper that soldiers of all
ranks who may wish to unite in this generous movement
should have every facility given them for so doing, but
without any compulsion being exercised, or any superior
authority interfering to increase the amount of the sub-
scriptions. It is particularly important that the soldier,
whose resources are so reEtricted, should not consider
himself compelled to impose p►ivations on himself. I
beg you to address recommendations to this effect to the
commanding officers of regiments, and .they will take
such measures as they may think proper for collecting
the offerings, which will be paid into the bands of the
agents of the civil administration charged in each locality
to centralise the subscriptions.—Accept,
" VAILLANT."
A circular to the same purport has been addressed
by the Minister of Marine to the maritime prefects
at the different ports ; and Marshal Pelissier has
signified his intention to open a subscription among
the army of the East,
The Mouiteur says that the rumour of a loan has
no foundation.

The Paris Bourse will be closed to-morrow (Sa-
turday.)
The Emperor has given 600,030 f. out of his pri-
vate cassette to the sufferers from the inundations
of the Rhone and Loire.
The Moniteur de l' Armee states that since June
1 the "army of the East" has assumed the desig-
nation of the " army of Paris."
