TURKEY.

A letter from Vienna, in the Post Ampt Gazette
of Frankfort, says :—" According to news received
from Constantinople of the 11th, via Trieste, the
Turkish ministers on the 9th made new proposi-
tions to the ambassadors of France, England, and
Austria, regarding the interpretation of the fifth
point by Turkey. In this document, the Porte not
only persists in demanding -the destruction of the
fortifications of Nicolaieff, but also demands that
the Russians should give up the fortress of Anapa
to the mountaineers, and likewise evacuate the
whole of the territory of Kars."
London, England, 1856-02-26

RUSSIA.

A letter from St. Petersburg of the 14th inst.,
in :the National Zeitung, states that up to that
date no orders had been given to the workmen
employed in building the 131-gun steam line-of-
battle ship Witiaz, at Nicolaieff, to suspend their
work, and that nothing had transpired to lead to
the belief that counter-orders would be issued to
stop the concentration of the naval militia at R,vel,
Cronstadt, St. Petersburg, and Sweaborg.
Letters from Genitchi state that the fortifica-
tions being erected by Prince Labanow-Rostowsky
for the defence of that place and of the bridge con-
necting the continent with the Spit of Arabat,
were so far finished as to be able to withstand
successfully any attack that might be attempted
on the part of the French and English ships of war.
The Russian journal Le Caucase contains intel-
ligence of a late date from Kars.
The greater numberof the Imperial troops with-
drew to the Russian territory when the hills and
valleys of the conquered country became covered
with snow. A brigade of the 18th division of in-
fantry remains in garrison at Kars, and a detach-
ment continues to occupy Ardaghan. The dis-
tricts recently submitted to Russia are now tran-
quil, but an insurrection of a rather serious cha-
racter broke out recently at Ghool, situated to

tho north of Kars. It seems that Asian Paella and
his brother Iser-bek, assisted by a party of 400
men, incited the inhabitants to rise, and occupied
the villages. of Seinot, Khorovanlia, and Tchoul-
Penek. They were, however, unexpectedly attacked
by three sotnias of Cosaacks with four rocket
batteries, and defeated. The insurgents (says Le
Caucase) left sixty dead in the square of one of the
villages, and four were taken prisoners. The Cos-
sacks had (of course) but one man killed and four
wounded. This affair occurred on the Ist of
January.

ST. JAMES'S-PARK.

On the motion of Sir B. }TALL for leave to appoint a
select committee to consider the best means of communi-
cation between those parts of the metropolis which lie
north of the St. James's-park and those parts which lie
south and south-west thereof, and to report thereupon
to the house,

Mr. HINDLEY, as an amendment, moved the ad-
journment of the house, on the ground that it was too
important a motion to be taken at that late hour (twelve
eVoak).
Dr. MITCHELL seconded the amendment on similar
grounds.
Sir B. lIALL said that it was well known to all the
members of that house, that for a very long period there
had been a desire expressed on the part of the public that
there should be a more convenient communication from
one side of the park to the other thin that which at pre-
sent existed, and the only object the Government had in
view in appointing this committee was that a full and
impartial inquiry should be made with reference to it,
and• se far from the committee being bound by the plans
that had already been prepared, it would be competent for
them to consider any other plans that might be laid be-
fore them, and to report thereon. After what had been
stated in the public papers with regard to this subject, he
thought the most convenient mode of dealing with the
UeatiOß Wu kr the appointment 91 a holed committee.

THAMES.

ROBBING A NEIGHBOUR. —John Gastrin, a native of
Whitstable, and described as a shipwright, in the em-
ploy of Mr. Wigram, shipbuilder, aged 27, was brought
before Mr. Yardley, charged with stealing a quantity of
timber, the property of Mr. Charles Fryer, builder, of
No. 2, May-street, Bromley.
It appeared that the prisoner, who is in good circum-
stances, is dwelling at 29, Bloomsbury-street, Bromley,
and that the prosecutor was building several new houses
in Albert-street, Bromley, in the rear of Bloomsbury-
street. Mr. Fryer had lately missed a good deal of tim-1
ber and other materials from the buildings in the course
of erection, and on Monday morning missed six planks
from one of the houses. They were safe on the Saturday
night previous. In consequence of information a police-
constable went to the prisoner's house and found four of
the missing planks concealed there. A neighbour of the
prisoner's, named Smith, living at No. 28, Bloomsbury-
street, and who is also a shipwright, saw the prisoner
go into three of the unfinished houses in Albert-street
on Sunday morning and bring from them several planks
of wood, which he placed against the garden wall at the
back of his house. Shortly afterwards the prisoner was
seen to take them along the garden into his house.
Mr. Pelham, who defended the prisoner, said he was
a most respectable man, bore a good character, and land
been in the service of Mr. Wigram for many years. He
was instructed that the prisoner had bought the planks,
and there must be some mistake on the part of the
witnesses.

Mr. Smith said he was quite certain he saw the pri-
soner take away the timber and remove it into his
house, and Mr. Fryer was certain as to the identity of
the timber.

Mr. Yardley said he would send the cave before a jury
for trial, unless the prisoner wished him (the magistrate)
to dispose of it summarily.
Mr. Pelam would prefer the case being sent before a
jury. The prisoner would then have some chance of an
acquittal.

Mr, Yardley—You think there Would be no chance
of an acquittal before a magistrate ?
Mr. Pelham—None, I am afraid, sir.

Mr. Yardley—The prisoner has a right to he tried
by a jury. Take the &positions, Mr. Pyor. I intend to
commit the prisoner for trial.

The depositions having been taken by Mr. Pyer, the
chief clerk, the prisoner was admitted to bail, himself in
NI, and two sureties of 404 each.

COINAGE OF TEE SYDNEY MINT.
1

(From the Times' City Article)
Subjoined is a communication on the anomalous
results consequent upon the refusal of the Home
1 , Government to allow the coinage of the Sydney
iMint to be identical with the coin of the realm.
1 I Out of about 1,200,000 sovereigns issued during the
2 I past year
sent
to
at Styndisneeyo,ninttly, n
is believed
meltedevedt intohat half b
have
That there can he no plea for any distinction being
made seems to be evidenced by the fact that all
1 the arrangements of the Sydney Mint are con- I
ducted in strict conformity with the system in
London. The experience of the United States,
moreover, may be held conclusive on that point,
since no discrepancies have ever been found to
arise between the head Mint at Philadelphia and
the branches at New Orleans and San Francisco,
although the position of the latter is perfectly
analogous to that of our branch at Sydney. It ap-
pears, therefore, that the course adopted by the
Treasury must have been wholly unnecessary on
the score of safety, and that it causes nothing but
a waste of labour and the establishment of a formal
distinction between the mother country and a
colony which on all matters of commerce and
finance we should bring into assimilation with us
as much as possible :
"Sir,—you have recently given facts and figures
showing the success that has attended the establishment
of a branch of the Royal Mint in Sydney. It appears
that upwards of 1,157,0001. were coined during the first
year of the Mint's existence.
"Are you aware that a large number, possibly one-
half, of the coins thus made have now to existence,
having been sent to England, where they are purchased
as bullion and melted and transmitted to the continent
in bars and ingots ?
"I shall be obliged if you will allow me to ask why
the Australian sovereign has any device on it to distin-
guish it from the sovereign cast on Tower-hill ?
"The Royal Mint has an establishment in London
and one at Sydney, both under the same control.
"The Lords of the Treasury appoint the officers and
issue the regulations for both establishments. The
colonial authorities have no power in either case. The
Legislature of the colony votes the supplies, and if it
ceased to do so the Mint in Sydney would be closed ;
but while it remains open they have nothing more to do
with it. Even the pyx is sent to England to be tried.
In short, it is in reality what it is in name, a br*nch of
the Royal Mint, superintended, as it ought tojoe, by
officers of the Imperial Government,and the coin vouched
for by the Crown.
" Why should not the natural consequence follow,
and the coin have the same currency throughout the
Queen's dominions as if made in London ?

PROCLABIATION..

"The most illustrious and mighty prince, the great
Lord and Emperor Alexander Nicolaevitch, succeeding
in direct succession to the throne of the Russian E.
pire, and of the annexed states of the Kingdom of Poland
and Grand Duchy of Finland, orders and commands
that the coronation of his Imperial Majesty and his holy
anointing shall take place on the 26th day of this pre-
sent August, and also that of his illustrious spouse, her
Imperial Majesty, the Empress Alexandrovna. On this
occasion all true subjects are hereby directed to offer up
their prayers to the King of Kings, that He will merci-
fully bless the reign of his Majesty, and grant that he
may govern in peace and prosperity to the glory of Him
on high, and to the strengthening and advancement of
the empire."
The trumpets will then play the National Anthem,
" God wave the Tsar." The procession will then go
through the holy gate to the statue of Minin and Po-
jarsky on the Krasnvi-place. Here the procession re-
f,rnis, changing the detail, and with cavalry preceding
it, the proclamation is read at the three other gates of
toe Kremlin, and at various places in the city, the pro-
cession dividing into two bodies for that purpose, the
number of places where the proclamation is made being
12 on the first day, 12 on the second day, and 3 on the
third. In proceeding from one point to the other, the
bands will play a march. The announcement of the day
of the coronation will be made to the various foreign
ambassadors by the various masters of ceremonies, Li
state carriages.

Although there are a lairs number of horses in the
neighbourhood, and although the ground is in capital
condition, yet the meeting has not been inaugurated
with its usual success. The fields were numerically in-
signifibmt, and the racing was, with only two excep-
tions, unmarked by any incident of importance.
The attendance of general company was, perhaps,
scarcely up to the average, but doubtless the heavy
lowering clouds deterred many pleasure folks from
visiting the course. As the afternoon advanced the sky
became clearer, and at intervals the can shone out gaily.
Toe above return of the running requires no comment.

C. MUSEUM OF ORNAMENTAL ART.

17. This museum has obtained important accessions
during the last year, especially by purchases from the
Bernal collection and the French Exhibition. Full in-
formation regarding these purchases will be found in the
report of the curator, but it may be desirable to state
some particulars respecting the Bernal sale.
The sale of the Bernal collection having excited much
interest, it was felt that the competition might induce
larger prices to be given for the articles comprised in it
than their intrinsic value warranted. Accordingly, the
whole collection was examined by the art superintendent
and the curator of the museum, and the articles which
it was desirable to secure having been selected, the maxi-
mum values were fixed beforehand, and, except in very
few instances, no larger price was allowed to be given
for them during the progress of the sale.
The British Museum being a purchaser, as well as the
Museum of Ornamental Art, a perfect understanding was
established between the two museums, and the same
agent was commissioned to bid for both institutions, so
t hat in no case was the price raised to the public by a
common desire of two public bodies to possess the same
article. These arrangements led to a fortunate result,
foe while the average price of 730 lots, purchased by
Marlborough House, amounted to 11/. 78., the average
price of the entire number of lots (4,294) was as much
as 141. lls.

The number of visitors to the museum has decreased,
having been 78,427, as compared with 104,823 in the
previous year. That this decrease, common to all the
public museums, is due to the state of public affairs con-
nected with the war, is obvious frcm the circumstance,
that wbile this report is passing through the press, peace
having returned, the increase in the number of visitors
has been mere than double what it was in the corre-
sponding period of 1855, and in fact more than in any
previous year.

CIRCULATING MUSEUM.

18. In order to bring home the specimens of the Lon-
don 'Museum to the provincial towns, with the view of
improving the state of art-manufactures in them, a cir-
culating museum has been formed, consisting of about
400 specimens and repreaenting each section of the cen-
tral museum. This circulating museum has already
visited Birmingham, Nottingham, Macclesfield, and
Norwich, and has been visited by a large number of
persons, amounting to 55,701, of whom 44,949 have
paid foi admission.
The most useful res►ilts have attended this circulation,
and not a single accident has occurred to any of the spe•
curiens. In exceptional cases, as in the instance of
Sheffield, additional collections, bearing on the special
manufactures of the place have been added to the gene-
ral museum.

D. LIBRAIT.

19. The Library of Art at Marlborough House has
obtained by purchases and donations during the last
year an increase of 550 volumes, and has received (ax-
elusive of the officers of the department and masters in
training), 7,242 visits, being an average daily attenlance
of 30 parsons. This is a small diminution on the number
(7,944.) in the previous year. The number of subscribers
to the library hag, on the other hand, increased from
235 in 1854, to 284 in 1855.

LONPON, THURSDAY, AUGUST 21, 1856.

It is very well to speak of conducting wars in
a more humane and generous spirit, but we must
not be led aside by any sentimental feeling from
a strai'htforward and practical view of the sub-
ject. It is, of course, desirable that as little suf-
fering as possible should be entailed on person,
not engaged in the actual business of war. Life
should, in every instance, be respected. The
moment a belligerent lays down his arms he
ceases to be a foe, and those who were ready t(
encounter the greatest risks to destroy him b
moment before will brave equal danger to resew
him when helms made the Ippeal ad misericorcliam.
There is, however, a difference respecting pro
perry—where it cannot prov 3 serviceable to the
enemy, and where its destruction will only
occasion loss and misery to innocent per-
sons it will naturally and properly be
spared. Wanton damage for the mere sake of
mischief is justly reprehended and severely
punished. But whenever it may become ser-
viceable to the enemy's troops, it will unhesitat-
ingly be seized or destroyed without any notior
of giving compensation to the owners. The
right unquestionably exists, although it is seldom
reserted to ; but no general rule could or would
be made that private property should be invari-
ably respected under any and every circumstance,
or WA' 11,b nation wnose troops nut committed
damage should be found to make full compensa-
tion to the parties injured.

But there is a great difference between pro-
perty at sea and property on land. It is by
means of its trade and commerce that a
nation is enabled to obtain the "sinews
of war," and to keep its armies in the field—its
navy at sea. The most effectual way of bringing
a nation to its senses is generally the stopping its
vessels, and preventing its flag from being ex_
hibited on any sea or ocean. Even then, strictly
private property, that is to say, what belongs to
passengers, and cannot properly be classed under
the head of merchandise, is usually respected,
save by the semi piratical privateers, who are by
no means particular in their transactions, and
would just as soon plunder friends as foes, if op-
portunity offered.

There is another, and very striking distinction
between the property on laud and water. In the
former case the owner does not make any attempt
to dispose of it or change its nature. He is com-
pelled to retain it where it is situated, and does
not voluntarily place it in danger. But it is dif-
ferent with respect to merchandise. There
a person deliberately counts his chances,
and calculates the risks be is about to
encounter. Ha will not engage therein unless
the prospect semi favourable, and offers greater
profits in the event of success. A man is there-
fore not so greatly to be pitied, if the result should
be unfavourable, as the man who had no such
option allowed. The analogy claim by Mr,

RUSSIAN ACCOUNTS FROM THE

CRIMEA.

We read in the Courrier d' Odessa :—The enemy's
troops have finally quitted the whole of the Crimea, and
the following is the successive order of their departure :
Kinbourn was evacuated on the 16th of May, Eupatoria
on the 30th ; Yenikale on. the 20th, and Kertch on the
22d June ; Sebastopol, with its environs, Balaklava and
the Bay of Kamiesh, on the sth of July. At Eupatoria,
as at Balaklava, Kamiesh, and Kertch, only a few
foreign traders have remained of various nationalities,
who have not yet succeeded in exporting or selling all
their goods and the wooden huts they possess. As soon
as the enemy quitted these towns steps were taken for
purifying them in conformity with the regulations laid
down by the sanitary police; theinnabitants then entered
them, when the civil and judicial authorities were re-
established. Aide-de•Camp General Count Stroganoff,
Governor-General of New Russia and Bessarabia, com-
menced, between the 14th and 21st of July, a tour of
inspection along the coasts of the Crimea on board the
steamer Andia, with a view to ascertain in person whe-
ther all the measures he bad thought 'it his duty to order
had been carried out. He particularly remarked," with
extreme satisfaction, the rapidity with which Kertch is
rising again from the destruction of which it had been
the scene. In three weeks order has been completely
restored there--all the streets are already almost entirely
freed of the filth that encumbered them; the inhabitants,
on their return to the town, are busily employed in re-
constructing their dwellings, and the sale of alimentary
articles is again going on in the markets. The inhabi•
tants of the neighbourhood have also resumed the culti-
vation of their fields.

A•sum of 20,000 silver roubles has been assigned by
way of succour to the inhabitants of the Vitebsk Go-
vernment, the harvest in which may be looked upon as
almost a general failure.
A letter from Taganrog to the journal of Odessa, says
that the crops are very promising in the governments of
Voronega, Poltava, and Kharkoff.
London, England, 1856-08-21

SECOND DAT.

The rowing was resumed yesterday at 3 o'clock, at
at about which time the rain began to fall heavily, and
descended in torrents during the whole afternoon. Not-
withstanding this unpleasant and disheartening state of
things, there was a vary large assemblage of visit n-s at
Putney, who endured the "pitiless pelting of the sterna"
with becoming fortitude, and, fully resolved upon the
search of pleasure, experienced a gratification in the sport
which compensated for all unpleasantness.
The card was full of interesting races, the principal of
which was the great champion contest open to all the
world, and there was likewise an eight-oared race with
three fine crews belonging to the London Rowing Club.
The excitement of the day was likewise kept up by the
interest imparted in the great soullers' race and other
matches.

The rowing commenced at 3 o'clock with—

had scarcely got clear when they were again in collision,
and during this time tho other two went away ; Gre•

THAMES.

ROBBING A NEIGHBOUR. —Jolta Gaskin, a native of
Whitstable, and described as a shipwright, in the em-
ploy of Mr. Wigram, shipbuilder, aged 27, was brought
before Mr. Yardley, charged with stealing a quantity of
timber, the property of Mr. Charles Fryer, builder, of
No. 2, May-street, Bromley.
It appeared that the prisoner, who is in good circum-
stances, is dwelling at 29, Bloomsbury-street, Bromley,
and that the prosecutor was building several new houses
in Albert-street, Bromley, in the r:.ar cf Bloomsbury
street. Mr. Fryer had lately missed a good deal of tim-
ber and other materials from the buildings in the course
of erection, and on Monday morning missed six planks
from one of the houses. They were safe on the Saturday
night previous. In consequence of information a police-
constable went to the prisoner's house and found four of

the missing planks eonceiled there. A neighbour of the
prisoner's, named Smith, living at No. 28, Bloomsbury-
street, and who is also a shipwright, saw the prisoner
go into three of the unfinished houses in Albert-street
on Sunday morning and bring from them several planks
of wood, which he placed against the garden wall at the
back of his house. Shortly afterwards the prisoner was
seen to take them along the garden into his house.
Mr. Pawn, who defended the prisoner, said he was
a most respectable man, bore a good character, and had
been in the service of Mr. Wigrazu for many years. He
was instructed that the prisoner had bought the planks,
and there must be some mistake on the part of the
witnesses.

Mr. Smith said he was quite certain he saw the pri-
soner take away the timber and remove it into his
bou7e, and Mr. Fryer was certain as to the identity of
the timber.

Mr. Yardley said he would Lend the case before a jury
for trial, unless the i risoner wished him (the magistrate)
to dispose of it summarily.

Mr. Pe ham would prefer the case being pent before a
jury. The prisoner would then have some chance of an
acquittal.

Mr. Yardley—You th'nk thre would be no chance
of an acquittal before a magistrate ?
Mr. Pelham—None, I am afraid, sir.

Mr. Yardley—The prisuner has a right to be tried
by a jury. Take the &positions, Mr. Pyer. I intend to
commit the piieeouer for

The depositions having bee❑ taken by Mr. Pyor, the
chief clerk, the prisoner was admitted to bail, himself in
801., and two sureties of 401. eselL

IRELAND.

6. In Ireland about 1,000 square miles altogether have
been surveyed during the past year, including 256 miles
of an indented coast line. The fieldwork has been
chiefly made on the borders of Cork and Kerry, or the
extensive tract stretching from Dursey Island to Mal-
low. As the maps on the one-inch scale for Ireland are
being rapidly issued, the geological survey is applying
to them the work executed on the six-inch scale, and
with this view a considerable amount of revision of for-
mer work has been made, in order to adapt it for publi-
cation on the smaller scale.
7. The Director-General has issued instructions to all
the geological surveyors, both in Great Britain and Ire-
land, to place on record the evidence upon which they
have fixed the boundaries of the respective formations,
and these documents, after revision, will in future be
published and sold with the !lisps.
8. As regards the palaeontological department of the
survey the Director-General reports that he is unable,
without additional assistance, to have it in the fully effec-
tive condition which he desires. During the past year
the palaeontologist has been engaged in a re-survey of
part of South Wales, and has aided the local director for
Ireland in examining the boundaries of the Devonian
and earbgniferons rocks. In addition to this field-
work, the classification and arrangement of the fossils
in the Museum of Practical Geology and the Museum
of Irish Industry have made considerable progress. The
naturalist engaged in the coast survey expects during
the present year to report on the surveys which he has
already made.
