SijRRBY TB PiATRg.

Last evening this theatre was filled to overflowing to
.itness the revival of a very favourite melodrama, en-
titled the " Flower Girl," which was not long since pro-
duced hero with great effect. It has been reproduesd
with great care, and Mr. Crelwick has heightened its
attraction byassumingthe character of the hero, Michael
Cranou, the Convict Marquis, a capital pat t, to which
he gives great effect by his bold, broad, vigorous melo-
dramatic acting. Miss Mania, as Madelon, the Flower
Girl, is pleasing and interesting filer mad scene in the
last act is really pathetic. Mr. Widdicornba (the Wright
•` the Surrey) kept the house in roars of laughter by
his facetite, and the whole reception of the piece showed
that it will have another run as long as the la,t.

NAPLES.

A Vienna letter of the Ist, in the Cologne Gazette,
says :—" At the same time that the Austrian cabi-
net gave instructions to Gen. de Martini on his
do parture for Naples, it sent a circular note to its
ambassadors at Paris and London, in which it is
asked to have the intended demonstration at Naples
delayed, and that the question should be brought
before the congress of Paris, which was soon to
open. No answer has yet been received to this
note."

Another letter from Vienna of the same date, in
the Bcersenhalle of Hamburg, says : Baron
Mohrenheim, Russian Councillor of State,
arrived here to day from St. Petersbur,-r
with very important despatches for Baron de
Budberrg, relating to the affairs of Naples and
Montenegro. With respect to the former it
is certain that the passive policy announced by the
circular of Prince Gortschakoff must not receive
too much credit. Russia will not renounce so
easily the principle of the Holy Alliance, and will
employ all her efforts to obtain the co-operation of
Austria in her Neapolitan policy. With respect to
Montenegro every effort will be made to thaintain
Russian influence in that state; and Prince Danilo's
pretensions to independence and to an increase of
territory will be supported by Russian diploma•
tist s."

FEROCIOUS ASSAULT ON A CONSTABLE—ATTEMPT TO
BITE HIS FINGER OFF.—Timothy Caghlin, a ruffianly-
looking old man, was brought up in custody charged
with committing a ferocious assault upon Thos. Green,
police-constable 137 M, rnd attempting to bite one of
his fingers off.

The complainant, whose left hand was bandaged up,
and who appeared to be suffering much from the inju-
ries he had received, stated that on Sunday morning,
shortly before 1 o'clock, he was on duty in Kent-street,
when the prisoner came up to him in a wild kind of a
a manner and sa=d, " Come with me, and take my wife
into oustody, as she has attempted to stab me." Wit-
ness went with him up a court close by and looked for
his wife, but she could not be found. As he waci leaving
that place the prisoner suddenly turned upon him like a
madman, and threatened to have his life, at the same
time knocking him against the wall. The prisoner then
struck him in the mouth, when witness seized hold of
him and pulled him out of the court. Several per-
sons came round them, and a man close by knocked him
down ; he still kept hold of the prisoner, who, while
struggling on the ground, contrived to get the forefinger
of his left band in his mouth, and nearly bit it off at the
second joint. The pain was so excruciating that he was
compelled to let go his hold of him. Another constable
secured the prisoner.
The Magistrate remanded the fellow for a week, to
ascertain the result of his violence.

POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTION.

-..,
Last evening a meeting was held in the theatre of this
institution, to hear an inaugural address from the Rev.
J. B. Owen, on the occasion of the opening of the
classes for teaching at very low fees, adapted to the
means of all, the subjects required by the examiners of
the Society of Arts.

On the motion of Mr. PEPPER, the Rev. Dr. Booth,
treasurer of the Society of Arts, took the chair.
The Rev. J. B. OWEN said they were assembled ther e
that evening to inaugurate the commencement of a highly-
important conjunction on the part of that institution with
the Royal Society of Arts, with respect to its depart-
meat of examinations for prizes and certificates for the
pupils of science. He begged to express his gratitude
to the council of the Society cf Arts for the liberal
concession which they had made in this case, and
which was highly creditable to them, and which was
in accordance with the true genius of science—which
like true religion, was a question of no party, but is in
the interest of every party whose symbol is " the Jeru-
salem above, which is free, and the mother of us all."
The fees of each class, of 14 lessons, proposed to be
opened, would be 53., or at the rate of 41d. for each.
Great credit was due to Mr. Pepper, the lessee of the
institution, for having ventured upon this experiment of
cheap philosophy and science made easy, to bring down
their ennobling studies to within reach of all classes in
the metropolis. He trusted the effort would be seconded
by the number of pupils desirous of availing themselves
of the privileges of the institution in this regard. Ile
did not anticipate any failure in the matter, for the
growing appetite for scientific pursuits in the Young
England mind was one of the favourable signs of the
times. The rev. lecturer then referred to the various
scientific discoveries which had been male—such as the
art of printing, the mariner's compess, the circulation of
the blood, the functions of the brain, and the nervous
system--in chemistry, in electricity, steam, and the like.
Many of these discoveries had been made in our own
times. He then observed that the Polytechnic Institu-
tion was the great medium through which many of these
discoveries were made familiar to the minds of the public,
and which were taught in a manner most agreeable and
acceptable to all. The proposed classes would increase
the advantages of the institution, and would enhance
its value amongst the public.
The rev. gentleman's address was received with ap
plause throughout.

- After a few brief speeches from some of the gentlemen
on the platform, thanks were given to the chairman and
Mr. Pepper, and the meeting separated.
Thcre were between 1,000 and 2,000 persons in the
theatre.

THE LOSS OF THE TAY.

When the Magdalena arrived, last week, from the
West Indies, she re that the Tay had failed to
immediately reach St. Thomas, with
the Mexican mails, and that it
had befallen her. The Royal
Mail Company
to be got ready to proceed
was feared some accidentat
ordered the Trent steamer
the conjectures about the

Tay was wrecked at the Lopez,y should be confirmed. The

built by the West India Company. Some years
struck on a rock, and was abandoned by her thenago she
com-
and
mander, and an inferior officer remained with her
saved her from being wrecked. Two years ago she was
lengthened, and ,vas placed on the Brazil line. It is
marvellous that more steamers are not lost in the Me-
can Gulf, as the northers there are of the most fearful
kind. Oftentimes the mail packets have to put on full
steam for hours, and even days together, merely to with-
stand the terrible tempests, making scarcely any head-
way. Full particulars of the loss of the Tay will most
probably first reach England via New York, as there
will be no news from the Gulf via St. Thomas in ordi-
nary course until the latter end of this month, or the be-
ginning of November.

THE LOST FOUND.—On Friday, after several days of
anxiety and fear, the owner and the friends of the crew
of the brig Excavator, of North Shields, received a tele-
graphic message that that vessel had arrived in aaf,ty
in a port in Holland, where she had sought shelter. She
bad sailed 15 days, and bad been long overdue.
VALUE OF LAND IN NEW SOUTH WALES.—At a
sale of land in June last at Maitland nearly half au acre
or land in Melbourne-street sold for 1,000/. ; the bank

THE EUPHRATES VALLEY RAILWAY,

It appears from the telegraphic advices received by
the Euphrates Valley Railway Company, from Con-
stantinople, that General Chesney, accompanied by
Sir John Macneill, was to proceed on the 28th Sep-
tember to Seleucia, on the coast of Syria, in H. M. S.
Gladiator, this vessel having been placed by the
British Admiral at the service of General Chesney
for the conveyance of the company's staff of en.
gineers to the scene of their labours. Upon the
arrival of the expedition at Soleucia, surveys of the
proposed route are to be immediately proceeded with,
when much is expected from the energy and high
scientific attainments of General Chesney and Sir J.
Macneill. In explanation of the telegraphic announce-
ment (published in The Sun of Friday last, as received
by the company through the British embassy at Con-
stantinople end the Foreign-office here) that a G per
cant. guarantee is expected to be accorded by the Otto-
man Government upon a capital of eight millions ster-
ling, it is stated by the official represeetatives of the
company that the original application was for a ;4ureran-
tee in the first instance upon one million only, this being
the sum considered applicable for the construction of
the first eectien of the line, extending from the Mt-
diterraaean to the Euphrates. They infer from t 1 e
telegraphic despatch, however, that the Ottoma.
Government prefers to entertain the project in its
entirety, tied that the negotiations 'viii preceed upon
the basis of an aggregate capita! of eight inillione, ap-
plicable to the constructit n of the entire railway from
the Mediterranean to the Persian Gult.
enccs be correct It these infer-
the It
is secured from any dan
,
g r of cempetition as regards the furthi r sections of the
propu,ocl railway. Fuller rietaiis are looked for with
much interest, the objecte coliternplaLiel by this com-
pany being of cosmopoetan importance. It is gratify-
ir; to find that in the present instance Turkish states-
men have shown a dieoosition to meet in liberality of
epirit the ad vanceii of Western capitalists. The negoti-
ations with the Pelee, however, are understood to have
beentnatri:,l;yfacilitated through the prompt aid af-
krded by Lard Ciazendon and Lord Stratford 'de

ever, be readily understood, when it is considered that
the ftessian territory has now an extent of 22 millions
of square kilometres (a kilometre is s.Bths of a mile), and
a length of coast of 27.000 kilometres. If the popu-
lation continues to Ecrease in the same proportion, it
roil by 1900 amount to 100 millions. The Ras,ian
Pnpite, according to the came document, contains 112
different, peoples, divided into 12 principal
races, the
most numerous of which is the t'l,'clavontan, including
the Russians properly so celled, the Poles, the Cossacks,
and the Servian colonies of the Dnieper. These popu-
lations inhabit the finest and the most important pro•
vinces of the empire."

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

WIFE BEATING.—Charles Ilannan, a tall middle-aged
man, residing at 16, Porter-street, Newport-market, was
charged before Mr. Beadon with violently assaulting his
wife, Ann Hannan.
Complainant, whose eyes were dreadfully contused
and covered with a bandage, stated that on the previous
evening she was endeavouring to arrange matters be-
tween two friends who were quarrelling, when the de-
fendant, without the slightest provocation, struck her a
violent blow in the face with his fist, and blackened her
eye. She direQtly ran up stairs and went to bed, but she
had no sooner laid down than he rushed into the room
and struck her again with great force, and blackened the
other eye. He was proceeding to further violence when
her cries attracted the notice of a constable who was
passing, and who took him into custody.
The prisoner, in reply to Mr. Beadon, said he might
have struck his wife, but he knew nothing whatever
about it, as he was drunk at the time.
Mr. Beadon said that was a poor excuse for the dread-
ful beating he had given his wife, and committed hixt
for six months.

KABYLIA.

The Moniteur Algericn gives the following par-
ticulars of the attack on the Kabyles by Generals
Renault and Yusuf, already briefly mentioned ly
telegraph :—On the 24th the Beni Koufi, a frac
tion of the Guechtoulas, were attacked at the same
time by the divisions of Generals Renault and
Yusuf. The former set out at three o'clock in the
morning, and arrived at the deep ravine which
' separates the Oulad AU from the other fractions of
the .Koufi, having only bad to drive before it
some hundreds pethe enemy's riflemen. The se-
cond, whose camp was established near the zavuia
of Sidi Abd-er-Rhaman, and who had a less dis-
tance to pass over to reach the enemy, only sat
out at half-past six, and after following the
crests of the Beni Ismail for two hours, found itself
before one of the branches of the ravine, in view of
Renault's division. It was on the other sue of this
ravine that the ICabyles had established their vil-
lages and organised resistance. In spite of the diffi-
culties of the ground an attack was immediately
commenced ; the ravine was crossed, the villages
! carried, and the attacking columns of the two divi-
sions met, after which the Oulad Ali and all the
defenders were obliged to fall back amongst the
rocks and in the forest which is between the bare
crests of the Djurdjura and the positions which our
troops bad taken from them. After an engage-
ment of two hours; and after all the villages,
particularly those of the Oulad Ali, had been
set on fire, the two divisions recommenced their
retreat. General Yusuf was not pursued beyond
the ravine, but the Kabyles followed en mane Ge-
neral Renault's column, which, having to descend
steep declivities and to go a considerable distance,
was more exposed to their attacks. In spite, how-
ever, of the vigour of the pursuit, the retreat,
owing to the arrangements made, was effected in
good order, and the two columns re-entered the
camp at 5 o'clock, with a loss of 12 men killed and
49 wounded, 4of the latter officers. The loss of the
enemy is not known, but everything leads to the
belief that it is considerable. Marshal Randon,
the Governor-General, arrived on the 26th at the
camp of General Renault, situated at the foot of
the mountains of the Beni Roufi. The day after,
he vieited General Yusuf's division, which ho found
in an excellent position.

FRANCE.

PARIS, WEDNESDAY ETENING.
The following is the last bulletin issued relative
to Prince Jerome :-
12th, 8 a.m.—A. rather marked alleviation in the
principal symptoms has set in.
By a decree in the Iti oniteur, Mme. Bizot, widow
of General Bizot, of the Engineers, who was mor-
tally wounded before Sebastopol, and Mine. de
Brancion widow of the colonel of the 50th Regi-
ment of the line, who was killed at that place, have
been named to he functions of sub-gouvernantes
of the imperial children of France.
The M o niteur publishes a decree promoting Ge-
neral Maneque and Chef d'Esoadron Robinet of
the Imperial Guard, to the rank of officers in the
Legion of Honour, and 54 officers and non-commis-
sioned officers in the same force to that of knight.
Another decree confers the military medal on 237
non-commissioned officers and privates of the Im-
perial Guard.
A letter from Paris of the 10th, in the Indepcn-
dance of Brussels, under the signature of " Y,"
who has generally been found well-informed on the
subject of the congress, states that everything is
going on in the most satisfactory manner, and that
peace is likely to be announced at a more early
period than is generally imagined. The letter
adds :
" I will not repeat to you—what every person
knows—that Count Orloff speaks with admiration
of the Emperor Napoleon. In conversing a day or
two ago of the state of affairs with an eminent personage
belonging to the French Government, the count said to
him—' The greatest regret of my life, now that I know
the Emperor Napoleon, is that my deceased master, the
Emperor Nicholas, bad not }teen acquainted with him
also. If he had only seen him for one half hour, not
only would there have been no war, but a friendly inter-
course would have been established between the two
sovereigns, for the Emperor Napoleon has precisely the
qualities which would have exercised an influence over
the mind of the Emperor Nicholas."'

minor importance—among them one surmounted
by a clock-tower. The intention was, as I under-
stand, to blow up the buildings, but to leave the
outer walls standing, so as to mask the operations
of any workmen or fatigue parties that might
afterwards be employed inside. The buildings
being very extensive, a large number of mines were
prepared, but it appears that the snow-water fil-
tered in and damped some of the charges. I have
not heard the cause of the delay in the first explo-
sion, but the interval between the two arose from
accidents having happened to the fuses. Parts of
the inner wall of the building still remain. Some
of the buildings in the centre of the square have
been overthrown ; among others, the clock-tower,
which yesterday morning was a conspicuous object,
was levelled with the dust by one of the second
series of explosions. As far as the explosions took
place, I believe their result to have been satisfac-
tory ; but there is by no means that clean sweep
and total downfall of the whole of the buildings
which was anticipated, and which we now learn
was, for the reason above assigned, never intended.
Mr. Deane's experiment with the brig failed ; the
reason why has yet to bo ascertained. It is said that
Mr. Deane attributes his occasional failures to the
state of the wires, which have -been patched and
joined, and are no huger to be implicitly relied
upon. Ile appears to be indefatigable iu his en-
deavours to overcome difficulties and perfect his
apparatus.
During the first four weeks that money-orders
have been issued in the Crimea more than 7,0001.
has been transmitted to England. But for the
facility afforded by the Post-office there can be no
doubt that by far the larger part of this consider-
able sum would have been squandered here in
vicious indulgence, instead of contributing to the
comfort of many a humble home. Credit is certainly
due to the Post-office officials in the East and in
England, by whom, as I understand, the innova-
tion was first proposed, with the certainty of its
occasioning-them much additional labour and re-
sponsibility. One can but regret that the plan was
not adopted at the commencement of the war, for
it assuredly would have greatly diminished drunk-
enness, and have had a beneficial effect upon the
army. It is to be observed that hitherto the de-
mand for ordbrs has progressively increased, and as
yet show no symptoms of slackening. 7,0001. in
four weeks is at the rate of about 90,0001. a-year ;
and, as the money received is paid to the Commis-
sariat, it would have been so much less to remit
from England for the wants of the army, and the
greater part of it would have been rescued from
the sutlers and Greek venders of abominable spirits,
who, up to-a month ago, have benefitted by the
soldiers' superfluous cash.

VACCINATION BILL.

On the motion for the second reading of this bill,
Mr. BARROW objected to the bill, and asked the
Government to postpone the second reading of it till
after the recess, to give the country an 'opportunity of
considering it. It contained many objectionable provi-
siva.

Mr. MITCHELL also objected to the bill, and coin
plained that it should have been put down on the paper,
having understood it was now to be postponed. He
looked upon this as a measure for slaughtering the in-
nocents, deteriorating the human race, and the propoga-
tion of the small-pox. Vaccination was no security
against small-pox.
The bill was ultimately postponed till after the
•cars.

ASSAULTS ON WOMEN AND CHILDREN.
Mr. DILLWYN moved for leave to bring in a bill to
amend the act 16 and 17 Vic., c. 30, for the better pre-
vention and punishment of aggravated assaults upon
women and children. In 1853 an act was passed substi-
tuting six months' imprisonment and sureties for Si. fine
and two months' imprisonment under a previous act.
An amendment was proposed that corporeal punish-
ment should be inflicted on the ruffians who attacked
helpless women and children. That amendment was
lost, on the ground principally of expediency—that an
attempt should be mad© of uniting these cases with a
long imprisonment. Experience had shown that the act
had not worked as was expected. The returns showed
that in the metropolitan districts alone 877 convictions
had taken place in two years, being More than one 2.
day. In 18i4 the number was 353,, and in 1853, 320,
which diminution, he thought, was more attributable to
accidental circumstances than any falling off in the crime,
The number who bad been sentenced to six months' im-
prisonment was 184, and he knew that in many
sues wives bad withheld proceedings against their
husbands, knowing they were the sufferers if they ever 3
sentenced to six months' imprisonment. He proposed
to repeal the act except the second clause, and he pro-
posed to reduce the punishment to not, more than two
months' imprisonment, nor less than 14 days, and that
he should be once whipped. The hon. gentleman
then adverted to the arguments that had been used
against corporeal punishment, and said that he be-
lieved that punishment could not brutalise or de-
grade a man who would lift his hand against a defence•
