RUSSIA.

A letter from St. Petersburg, of the Bth, in the
rebats, says :—" A sum of 11,000 silver roubles
(44,000 fr.) has been appropriated . to the construc-
tion of fortifications on the coast near Archangel.
Part of this sum is to be taken from the reserve
and the remainder raised by a loan. The two last
numbers of the Gazette du Senet contain fresh de-
crees, condemning several officers to military de-
gradation, and to the loss of their nobility, for
peculation."
The Post Ainpt Gazette contains the following
information from Odessa; of the 3d :—" General
Luders has inspected the five Russian corps d'armee
in the Crimea, and found them only in a tolerable
condition. The men are well lodged, but the
scurvy is making great ravages among them. The
accounts from the Turkish army of Asia are rather
more favourable to the Turkish cause. Ismael
Pasha, Churched Pasha (Guyon), and Osman
Pasha, Commissioner of the Porte, have arrived at
Erzeroum, where a large army is to be concen-
rited. The Russians have evacuated a part of
the pachalic of Kars, and have withdrawn a por-
tion of their advanced posts, which had been ex-
tended on the side of Erzeroum, so that Hassan
Ka'. has since been occupied by the Turks."

SURREY TREA TEE.

Last evening a new limn% entitled "Jasper Langton"
was produced at this tbettre with the most marked and
decided success. The some of the play is laid in Lon-
don during the reign of Charles the First, and the chief
incident turns upon the levotion of the wife of Jasper,
who is condemned to suffer death by hanging for having
killed the asperser of his wife's fair fame in a duel. The
acting of Mr. Creswick as Jasper Langton was ad-
mirable. He seemed perfectly to identify himself with
the character, and the result was one of the most finely
pourtrayed parts we hare yet seen this accomplished
actor perform. The othsr parts in the drama were very
excellently sustained by Messrs. Calvert, G. Yarnold,
Widdicombe, Miss Mariott, and Miss Saunders, who
each exerted themselves to the utmost to secure the
success of the drama, wlich never was for a moment a
doubt. The entertainments of the evening concluded
with the splendid pantomime, which seems to increase
rather than diminish in attraction. The house wag
crowded in every part.

AUSTRIA.

Count Buol, whi;l;ftVlonna on the evening of
the 12th, had hastened his departure by a day in
order to have time to see M. de Beust at Dresden,
and to spend a few hours with his relatives at
Frankfort ard. Mannheim. On taking leave of the
Emperor his Majesty is reported to have addressed
him nearly in these terms :
"You, my de;.r count, know as well or better
than any one tl.e polvy I have followed in the
present question, and the intei&ons which I have
always entertained. In order to carry them out
you need not aaero entirely to the letter of your

instructions. All that you do will I know be wel-
done, if you contribute, as I hope, to the re-esta-
blishment of peace on a [solid basis, and which wit
be realised if it be a peace honourable for all parties."
A letter, in the Universal German, Gazette,
says :—" The Emperor Francis Joseph has charged
Count Buol with an autograph letter addressed to
the Emperor Napoleon. The intimacy which now:
exists between the Courts of Paris and Vienna is
the subject of general conversation in our official
circles. It is rumoured that. an Austrian regiment
will be given to the Emperor Napoleon ; and the
Cuirassiers are spoken of as likely to bear the name
of the Emperor of the French."
A letter from Vienna of the 13th says Our
young Empress yesterday met with an accident,
but fortunately it was not attended with any
serious consequence. The spring of her MajeetY
carriage broke while she was taking an airing, and
she was compelled to alight and return to the
palace in a private carriage which happened to
pass at the moment. This is the second accident
of the kind that has happened to the Empress,
and the Emperor has ordered the person to who:
negligence it is attributed to be severely punished.

RUSSIA.
A letter from St. Petersburg, of the Bth, in the
Debuts, says :—" A sum of 11,000 silver roubles
(44,000 fr.) has been appropriated to the construe"
tion of fortifications on the coast near Archangel.
Part of this sum is to be taken from the reserve
and the remainder raised by a loan. The two last
numbers of the Gazette du Senet contain fresh de'

gradation, and to the loss of their nobility, for
peculation."

cf a political and in no way of a sanitary chiracte.r,

PRUSSIA.

A letter from Berlin iu the Cologne Gazette
says :—" It appears certain that, on the occasion
of the marriage of Prince Frederick William with
the Princess Louisa, which is to take place in
September, an amnesty will be granted to all politi-
cal offenders who are now in confinement. The
number of the latter is very limited."
According to a letter from Berlin, in the Nord,
the erection of fortifications around Berlin is con-
firmed. There is no intention, it is said, to sur-
round the Prussian capital like Paris with a com-
plete line of fortification, but to construct redoubts
at such distances from each other round the city
that they will be enabled to cover each other with
their fire.

SPAIN.
The Madrid journals of the 23d have arrived.
The Epoca says that the Gazette is about to publish
decrees for the dissolution of the Cortes, for a re-
gulation of the press, and for the establishment of
the Council of State, promulgating the constitu-
tion of 1845. The Clamor Publico and the Earle-
mento state that the condition to which the press
have been reduced prevents them from making any
comment on the decree for the dissolution of the
national guard ; the biario expresses approbation
of the measure. The Gazette contains decrees dis-
missing 16 civil governors of provinces, and ap-
pointing , their successors.

A letter from Trebisond, brought by the last
Constantinople mail, states that no credit is at
tached in Georgia to the accounts given by all the
journals of Europe with respect to the expedi-
tion of the Russians against the Abasians. It is
mentioned as certain that negotiations have been
opened with the Abasians and the Oubouiks, and
up to the time when the letter was written not a
single Russian soldier had crossed the Ingour.

Accounts from Africa state that shocks of earth-
quake were felt in Algeria on the 21st. The shocks
were slight at Algiers, but stronger at Constantina
and at Bona, and very violent at Philippeville, where
as many as 22 were felt. The steeple of the church
has been partly thrown down, and several houses
injured, but no lives have been lost. The hospitals
and the barracks have been evacuated, and the in-
habitants of the town gone into tents in the fields.
It is said that several French villages in the neigh-
bourhood of Philippeville have been destroyed."

The Communal Council of Genoa has voted 500 f,
towards the cost of the 100 pieces of ordnance in.
tended for the new fortifications of Alessandria.

Accounts from Bologna, in the Austrian Corre-
spondence, state that the announcement of a vote
of the municipal council of Bologna, in favour of
the evacuation of the country by the Austrian
troops, is not correct.

DUBLIN, AUG. 26

The weather has been fine since Friday, but to-day it is
showery. We note no alteration in our quotations for old
wheat or oats, though in some instances prices were rather
in favour of the buyer. These was a small supply of new
grain. Wheat, oats, and rapeseed supported the curren-
cies of Friday, but here became difficult of sale towards
the close, even at a reduction of is to 2s per barrel. The
demand for Indian corn was very trifling, without any
alteration in value.

AMERICA.

LIVERPOOL, THURSDAY MORNING.
By the arrival of the United States mail steam-
ship Atlantic we have advices from New York to
the 16th inst.
She has brought $190,000 specie on freight.
In the Senate the proceedings were unimportant.
In the House of Representatives the bill making
appropriations for carrying the mail in ocean
steamers was considered, and an amendment was
adopted in committee authorising notice to be
given for the termination of the arrangement of the
additional allowance for the transportation of the
mails between New York and Liverpool in the
Collins line. Without disposing of the bill, the
1101.139 adjourned.
Washington advices of the 15th state, that the
Cabinet had ordered a discontinuance of the
Kansas prosecutions.
The New Tariff Bill, introduced into the House
of Representatives, will, if passed, reduce the
annual revenue of the country $6,000,000.
The rumour of Mr. Dobbin's appointment as
Minister to France is without foundation.
Californian advices, and specie to the amount of
1,473,876 dollars, have been received.
At Now York, a Vigilance Committee was in
existence.
From Havana we learn that yellow fever was
raging fearfully in the island.
Money was easy at New York at 7 per cent. on
call loans. Stocks, though not active, had im-
proved. Exchange on London, 1091 to 1091 ;
Paris, 516 k.
Cotton was more active ; Hie. to lip. for strict
middiing uplands. Flour was in fair demand, and
firmer for common grades and medium extra brands.
Wheat was firmer for new prime lots. Indian corn
was better for sound shipping lots. Pork was at
$l9 50c. to $l9 62ic. for mess, and $l7 75c. to
$l.B for prime. Lard was firm at 121 c. to 13c.
Sugars were more active, though the turn of the
market was in favour of purchasers, and embraced
about 1,600 hhds. Cuba at 81c. to 9c. To Liver-
pool, grain in bulk and ships bags taken at 61c. to
Tic.

NAPLES.

The Frankfort Journal contains a letter from
Vienna, which professes to throw a new light on
the reply of the King of Naples to the representa-
tions of the Western Cabinets, published by the
Cologne Gazette. The correspondent of the Frank-
fort paper thus expresses himself :—" We have no
reason' to doubt that the reply of the King of
Naples to France and England, of which the
Cologne Gazette has offered an analysis, is in
conformity with the latter. The King has con-
sidered the counsels offered by the Western Powers
as an interfefence in the affairs of his kingdom,
and in the relations existing between him and
his subjects, which is not justified by actual cir-
cumstances ; and he has energetically rejected
those counsels. It must not, however, be thereby
interpreted that the King has refused to adopt re-
form ; he has only declared himself to be the most
competent judge of the opportunity of those mea-
sures. With respect to the analysis in question it
is improbable that the passage, in which the King
declares that be would repel orce by force exis:s
in the reply of the Neapolitan Cabinet. The
Western Powers, in their notes, had, in fact,
offered no menace, or even a prospect of menace,
to that Cabinet ; they confined themselves to ex-
pressing anxiety that a refusal of their advice might
lead to a rupture of tranquillity in Italy."

DISTRESSING CASE.

Yesterday Mr. William Carter, the coroner for East
Surrey, proceeded with an inquiry at the Britannia Ta-
virn, Wandsworth-road, relative to the death of George
Hawthorn Vincent, aged 42, a coach trimmer, of No.
10, John-street, near the above-named 'house.
The evidence of the widow and other witnesses showed
that on Tuesday morning laet, about 5 o'clock, the de-
ceased gat cut of bed to make some cocoa for his wife,
who had only been confined a few days. He was then in
a very distressed state of mind, as there was no food in
the house for thelchildren (four in numbs ,r), and he said he
would go :led try to get some ruone.v to buy bread.
About five minutes afterwards a man named Morgan
called for a debt that wa, due him, :ad Searched the
bed room to find the deceased, but not doing so, said he
should imprison him (deceased) when he caught him.
It was believed at that time that the unfortunate man
had left the house, but his .son, a bout seven years of
age, on going into the yard, saw hi in in the water butt.
An alarm was raised, and a man a amed Badcock found
deceased's head downwards in the butt, the water just
coming up to the shoulders. Ho was apparently star .
ing on the right foot, and the toe of the left just toucla d
the ground. He was at once taker out, but was dead.
The water butt was about thre a feet high, but the water
was only two feet deep. The deceased bad been unable
to obtain any employment, a. nd had walked about for
days at a time without tasting food. In his pocket e a
found a lawyer's letter, tbreate Ding him with legal pro-
ceedings if be did nut at once pay a bill amounting to
41. 18s. 2s. On Saturday lash he borrowed a shilling oi
a friend, which he spent to buy a little food for his wife :
but with the exception of some inieces of meat and part
of a loaf, which the whole family partook of on Sunday
there was no food iu the house up to the morning of the.
deceased's committing suicide. I. \. verdict of "Tempo
rary insanity" was returned in this ,zase.

THE CASE OF HENRI? CORPS

DAUGIITER.

The f, Ilowing letter has been addressed to the editor
of the Times:—

Sir,—lf the reque-t of a further brief !pace in your
columns is not an encroachment on the kindness which
inserted my late letter, I am anxious to state a few par
titulars which, besides their connecti,n with the claims
of the individual sufferers in the Curt tragedy, have a
considerable public interest.
It is, perhaps, little known to those it most con-
cerns—the recipients of small pensions—that out of the
pittance ordered in their original warrants 7. per
cent, has been commonly abstracted to aid in paying
the interest of several millions borrowed t> discharge
the private debts of George I. and George 11. A
further benevolence of 5 per cent. was claimed for
Westminster land tax, though it is difficult to the
inventor of the rolling-mill, and the general public to
discern the connection between this impoEt and a grant
of charity to deserving persons in some distant part of
the kingdom. Under the shadowy title of Exchequer fees
further exhaustion of 7. ",;o 12 per cent, depletes the
Crown gift 20 to 25 per cent. alogether below the nomi-
nal bounty—sure.y a strange series of arrangements for
distributing the charities of a great nation, especially the
last, which introduced a poor pensioner on the official
scene as a prise or booty to gladden the MS angustm of,
we must presume, the under-paid servants of the State.
London, England, 1856-08-28

PRUSSIA.

A letter from Berlin in the Cologne Gazette
says :—" It appears certain that, on the occasion
of the marriage of Prince Frederick William with
the Princess Louisa, which is to take place in
September, an amnesty will be granted to all politi-
cal offenders who are now in confinement. The
number of the latter is very limited."
According to a letter from Berlin, in the Nord,
the erection of fortifications around Berlin is con-
firmed. There is no intention, it is said, to sur-
round the Prussian capital like Paris with a com-
plete line of fortification, but to construct redoubts
at such distances from each other round the city
that they will be enabled to cover each other with
their• fire.

SPAIN.
The Madrid journals of the 23d have arrived.
The Epoca says that the Gazette is about to publish
decrees for the dissolution of the Cortes, for a re-
gulation of the press, and for the establishment of
the Council of State, promulgating the constitu-
tion of 1845. The Clamor Publico and the Parte-
motto state that the condition to which the press
have been reduced prevents them from making any
comment on the decree for the dissolution of the
national guard ; the Diario expresses approbation
of the measure. The Gazette contains decrees dis-
missing 16 civil governors of provinces, and ap-
pointing-their successors.

•A letter from Trebisond, brought by the last
Constantinople mail, states that no credit is at-
tached in Georgia to the accounts given by all the
journals of Europe with respect to the expedi-
tion of the Russians against the Abasians. It is
mentioned as certain that negotiations have been
opened with the Abasians and the Oubouiks, and
up to the time' when the' letter was written not a
single Russian soldier had crossed the Ingour.

Accounts from Africa state that shocks of earth-
quake were felt in Algeria.on the 21st. The shocks
were slight at Algiers, but stronger at Oonstantina
and at Bona, and very violent at Ph il ippeville, where
as many as 22 were felt. The steeple of the church
has been partly throtn down, and several houses
injured, but no lives tave been lost. The hospitals
and the barracks have been evacuated, and the in-
habitants. of the town gone into tents in the fields.
It is said that several French villages in the neigh-
bourhood of Philippeville have been destroyed.

The Communal Council of Genoa has voted 500 f.
towards the cost, of the 100 pieces of ordnance in•
tended for the new fortifications of Alessandria.

Accounts from Bologna, in the Austrian Corre-
spondence, state:that the announcement of a vote
of the municipal: council of Bologna, in favour of
the evacuation of the country by the Austrian
troops, is not correct.

AN INCH OF FAIN ON TLIE ATLANTIC.

We have been struck with that pas'age of Lieutenant
Maury's Physical Geography of the Sea, in which he
computes the effect of a single inch of rain falling upon
the Atlantic Ocean. The Atlantic includes an area of
twenty five millions of square miles. Suppose an inch
of rain to fall upon only one-fifth of this vast expanse,
" it would weigh," says our author, " three hundred and
sixty thou'and millions of tons ; and the salt which, as
water, it held in solution in the sea, and which, when
the water was taken up as vapour, was left behind to
disturb equilibrium, we'ghed sixteen milliona more
tees, or nearly as much al all the Chip in the world
could carry at a cargo each. It might fall in a day ;
but occupy what time it might in falling, this rain
calculated to exert so much force—which is incen•
ceivably great—in disturbing the equilibrium •of the
ocean. If all the water dircharg:l by the Mississippi
river during the year were taken up in one mighty mea-
sure, and cast into the ocean at an effort, it would not
make a greater disturbance in the equilibrium of the sea
than the fall of rain supposed. And yet, so gentle are
the operations of nature, that movements so vast are
unperceived."—Scientific American.

THE BRITISH- ARCHAOLOGICAL

ASSOCIATION.

BRIDGEWATER, AUG. 27.

The members and friends returned from the visit to
Glastonbury and Wells at 9 o'clock last evening, and
this morning an excursion was made, notwithstanding
the caution of the clouds, to Martock, Stoke-sub-Hain-
doe, where the churches, the remains of the Cluniao
Monastery, and the position of an encampment, were
the chief objects of attraction. Brympton Church, which
was also visited, has undergone many alterations. It
is the burial place of the Sydenham family frora the time
of Edward IV. The monuments are so stately that a
kind of apology was thought necessary for the snoop-
tuousness of the tomb, which is expressed in some quaint
lines inscribed thereon.
On the return this evening thera will be a meeting
or conversazione. Last night, in consequence of the
lateness of the hour at which the party returned from
Wells, the intended meeting was converted into an even•
ing conver-ational entertainment ; and such will proba-
bly be the arrangement to-day.
