THE RUSSIAN SQUADRON AT KIEL.

KIEL, Oct. 21.—This morning, at an early hour,
four foreign ships of war were signalled from Bulk
as being in the Qffing, and a couple of hours later
they came into this harbour and anchored. They
proved to be the Russian squadron expected. from
Cronstadt for some time past, and consisting of
the screw steam line•of-battle ship Wyborg, the
screw steam-frigate Polkan, the sailing frigate Cas-
tor, and the despatch brig Philoctetes, the whole
being under the command of Rear-Admiral Berens,
whose flag is flying at the mizen of the Wyborg.
Later in the day the Admiral saluted the Danish
flag, which was duly returned by the land bat-
teries. A gOod many of the officers obtained leave
of absence, and proceeded to Hamburg by the after-
noon train. To-morrow the ships will commence
coaling, and in a few days will proceed to the
Mediterranean, where the Wyborg and Polkan
will winter at Nice, placing themselves at the dis-
posal of the Empress Dowager of Russia during
her stay there, whilst the Castor and Philoctetes
will eventually go on to the Piraeus, where they
are to remain on the station. _ .

We were all rau&l struck by the great alteration
in the Russian naval uniform since the last visit of
Russian ships of war to this port. The colour of
the uniform has been changed from green to blue,
and the short-tailed coatee of the officers been re-
placed by the modern tunic as used in the army. In
lieu of the white cap formerly used in the Russian
navy, blue ones are now introduced, with a white
passepoil, and in front is a raised foul anchor on
the national cockade (black, yellow, and white—
the same as the Hanoverian cockade). Another
great improvement in the uniform is the substitu-
tion of shoulder-straps of silver, on which is em-
broidered the number of the naval equipage to
which the officers belong, for the former unsightly
and heavy-looking epaulettes with long loose bul-
lion, which gave the wearer such a high-shouldered
appearance. For undress and when on duty the
officers wear a dirk inst.:ad of the long sword
as formerly, which latter is now only worn in full
dress. On the whole the alterations in the Russian
naval uniform may be pronounced to be improve-
ments.

T.HE NARVAEX DUEL.

Some further particulars relative to the brutal
conduct of Marshal Narvaez towards the husband
of the Infanta Donna Josefa have been received.
The disadvantage under which M. Guel y Rente
labours must be obvious to all people who have
only the most moderate knowledge of Spanish
affairs. In the first place, he is of the Progressist
party, and therefore. unlikely to be fairly judged
at the present moment by "the powers that be" in
Madrid. In the second place, he is the husband
of the princess who is banished to San Sebastian
for having dared to demand the portion left to her
by her mother.
The history of the marshal's hatred for M. Guel
y Rente has been variously described, and no doubt
the imagination of correspondents has been set to
work to fill up all gaps with details more or less
caustic. The words of which the marshal com-
plains were spoken in the Cortes on the 10th of
March, 1855. The passage runs as follows :
" I am full of discouragement, gentlemen, when I see
this man (Narvaez), who passes for the most eminent
personage of the time (from which estimation I beg to
differ), loaded with so many favours and titles, and with
so much wealth. What has happened since 1843, that
more decorations should be accumulated upon one indi-
vidual than any potentate has received ? Nor is it easier
to explain the gifts of seven or eight millions he has ob-
tained. Has he perchance perfot•med some service like
that of the Duke of Alba or of Christopher Columbus ?
Has he accomplished any work similar to that of these
, herpes ? No. A thousand times no ! Seeing a man
so laden with honours, one might think that Spain had
been a second time conquered by Moors, and raved by
--NI. Oh ! if the Cid Campode came down once more
upon earth snd saw a citizen who had taken no share of
his fatigues, bearing the tit Y of that town which he con-
quered after so many difficulties, I am certain that he
would pray to die a second time without having com-
pleted the conquest."
The spirit of M. Guel y Dente's speech may be
gathered from the foregoing passage. It may be
considered galling ; but it-is no more than a fair
criticism upon a public man ; and that the marshal
felt its sting is proved by the care with which,
during two long years, he bottled up his anger—
keeping it so warm that he could not restrain a
brutal ebullition of it, even in a salon, and in
female society. At present the marshal is trium-
phant, and his adversary is at his mercy. Still, I
am assured, M. Guel y Rente has the courage to
proceed with his action at law on behalf of his
wife ; and if there remain the poorest ghost of
justice in Spain, it is destined shortly to become
the topic of general discussion. Meantime, all that
had even the semblance of liberty under O'Donnell
is being steadily cleared away by the New Prime
Minister, who, according to the belief of more than
one Spaniard, is drawing ruin down upon the
Queen.

THE RUSSIAN SQUADRON AT KIEL.

KIEL, Oct. 21.—This morning, at an early hour,
four foreign ships of war were signalled from Bulk
as being in the offing, and a couple of hours later
they came into this harbour and anchored. They
proved to be the Russian squadron expected from
Cronstadt for some time past, and consisting of

life. He would not have released her except on that

COLLISION AT THE WATERLOO ROAD TERMINUS.—
Yesterday forenoon a train was being made ready on the
main line for Hampton-court, and several passengers
were seated, when another train was being taken upon
the Windsor line. The last train was going at its usual
speed, when the pointsman, by some accident, turned
the points so as to send the Windsor train upon the
main line, and the consequence was that the Windsor
train came into collision with the one for Hampton-
court, forcing the passengers from their seats, and
hvrling them in terrible confusion among each other.
The Hampton-court train came rattling down the rails
at a (earful speed, and no one can tell what direful
effects would have ensued had it not been for the pre-
sence or mind of Mr. Parker, one of the chief inspectors,
who seeing the great danger that existed, and
regardless of his own personal safety, rushed off the
platform, entered one of the break carriages, and, apply-
ing the break most vigorously, was enabled to skid the
wheels and thereby stop to a great extenttbe momentum
of the carriages, but not, however, until the train bad
been forced almost to the extremity of the platform. By
the sudden concussion several persons were injured ;
one lady had oce of her eyes severely injured, another
was severely cut about both legs, and three or four others
were more or less hurt.
Cols. H. Sandham, director of the -Royal Engineers at
Chatham, has been ordered to hold in readiness one com-
pany of the Royal Engineers corps (Sappers and Miners)
for the purpose of proceeding to Dover, where they are
to be employed in engineering operations.

SOUTHWARK.

CHARGE OF SHOPLIFTING.—Frances M`Gavin, ayoung
woman of respectable appearance, was brought before
Mr. Burchaw, charged with stealing a piece of gingham
and eleven handkerchiefs from the shop of Mr. Henry
Green, linen draper, 49, Blackfriars-road.
Charles Haslett, assistant to Mr. Green, said that
about seven o'clock on the previous evening the prisoner
cane into the shop with an infant in her arms and asked
to be supplied with half a yard of flannel. He had occa-
sion to go to another part of the shop, and on his return
the prisoner came towards him with a bundle of hand-
kerchiefs in her band. Witness asked her what she
was going to do with them t She replied that they were
her sister's, and she had given them to her. Having seen
them a few minutes previous on a pile of blankets he felt
assured that she had stolen their property. He detained
her until his master came, when a piece of gingham and
a piece of cambric were found under her shawl. He had
seen all the property inside the shop previous to the pri-
soner coming in, and she had not purchased either of
the articles.

Mr. Green said he found the gingham and cambric
under her shawl, and gave her into custody. She said it
was the property of her sister, but witness identified it
as belonging to him from private marks thereon.

Police•constable 89 C said that when he took the pri-
soner into custody she said that all the property had been
stolen from a shop in Oxford•street by her sister, wh•
was taken before a magistrate and committed for nine
months. At the station•house she said it was her own
property.
_

- In answer to the charge, the prisoner said that such
was the faot, she had purchased them elsewhere, and
merely went into Mr. Green's shop to have haif a yard
of flannel for her baby, having forgot it at the other
shop.

Mr. Burcham asked her whether she would prefer
being tried by him or go to the sessions. If she selected
the former she must plead guilty. He did not wish her
to do so unless she was guilty.

Prisoner—l am guilty, sir. I hope you will have
mercy on me on account of my child.
Mr. Burnham said that as he understood nothing was
known of her he should not inflict the highest penalty on
her. She must be committed to the House of Correc-
tion for four months, with hard labour.

NAPLES AND THE WESTERN
POWERS.

PARIS, SATURDAY MORNING, OCT. 25.

The Moniteur publishes the correspondence be-
tween Count Walewski and M. Brother on the
subject of Naples.

The last despatch addressed to the latter termi-

nates with the following words :

"You will, therefore, M. le Baron, have the
kindness, on the receipt of this despatch, to take
the necessary measures to leave Naples with all

the members of your Legation. Sithilar in-
structions have been sent to the English

Embassy. You will hand over the archives
of the Legation to the Consul of his Imperial
Majesty. Moreover, and to provide eventually
efficacious protection to French subjects residing
in the kingdom of the Two Sicilies, a French
squadron will be kept in readiness at Toulon
(se tiendra a Toulon), where it will be wit:
reach to receive the orders that it might be fount.
requisite to transmit to it in case that it should

become necessary to entrust to it, in the interest
of our fellow-subjects, the care of supplying the
deficiency caused by the absence of official protec-
tion. To be prepared at the proper moment for
such an eventuality, the Commander of this
squadron has instructions to send occasionally one
of the vessels placed under his orders to visit the

ports of Naples and of Sicily, when the captain
of such vessel will place himself in communication
with our Consuls. With a similar object in

view, it is the intention of her Britannic Ma-

jesty to station a squadron in the pert of
Malta.

The Moniteur of yesterday publishes the fol-

lowing :
" For some time past different organs of the
English press have endeavoured to spread calum-
nies respecting the French Government, which
are the more odious as they are concealed under
an anonymous mask, and can only be answered by
contempt. We are aware of the respect which is
paid to the liberty of the press in England ; and
in thus pointing cut its deviations we confine our-
selves to an appeal to the common sense and good
faith of the English people to warn them against
the dangers of a system which, by destroying the
confidence between the two Governments, would
tend to disunite two nati'ons whose alliance is the
best guarantee of the peace of the world."

MR. ROBSON, THE COMEDIAN.—Les.t week the papers
announced that Mr. Robson, the clever actor of tragi-
comical parts, had been attacked with illne‘s of on
alarming character. It was said he had
ruptured a
blood vessel. The symptoms were certainly calculated
to induce a belief that such was the case, but we are
happy in being able to state that Mr. Robson, so far
from having sustained an injury that. will diminish the
force of his artistic labours, will most probably be a
gainer by hie short but painful indisposition. The simple
fact, we believe, is that an internal abscess, which had
anhenoyed Mr. Robson for a considerable time, and had

THE WAR WITH PERSIA.

By the Journal de Constantinople we learn that

a Persian proclamation has been issued accepting
the war declared by England.

The same authority states that the English
have already taken possession Of the Isles of
Ormus and Karrak.

The Russian troops are concentrated on the

Araxes.

The friendly mediation of France is expected.

Letters have been received which allege that
Russian intervention will be carried into effect as

retook Sondjouk-Kale, and drove out the Circas-
sians after an obstinate resistance. On the follow-
ing day the same general captured a Turkish brig
and 18 boats, under pretence that their papers were
not regular. Some other boats escaped and got
into Trebisond, where the consuls drew up reports
of the affair.

ALDERSHOT CAMP.

Some idea of the enormous traffic which this encamp-
ment has brought to the London and South-Western

That the whole of this traffic should have been carried
through without the occurrence of any serious casualty
reflects very great credit upon the arrangements of the
South-Western Railway generally, and pecially upon
that one of its executive officers to whom the care and
direction of this important station has been entrusted for
many months past—Mr. J. T. Garry.

ALDERSHOT CAMP.

Some idea of the enormous traffic which this encamp-
ment has brought to the London and South-Western
Railway may be gathered from a perusal of the follow-
ing returns of troops and horses arriving at, and depart-
ins from, the Farnborough station, from April 1 until
Sept. 30 in the present year :
Officers. Men.

Departures ... 1,663 44,966

Horsed.
3,412
1,779

Totals... 3,362 92,000 5,191
That the whole of this traffic should have been carried
through without the occurrence of any serious casualty
reflects very great credit upon the arrangements of the
South-Western Railway generally, and especially upon
that one of its executive officers to whom tho care and
direction of this important station has been entrusted for
many months past—Mr. J. T. Garry.

The screw steam-ship City of Washington, Cap-
tainW. Wylie, has arrived with advices from
Philadelphia to the 4th inst. She has brought 195

divided as follows :-23,323 miles railroad, 14,951
steam-boat, 50,453 coach, and nearly 154,000 inferior

posal, provided the transit charge on mails passing
through England from and to the United States is re-
duced to 121 c. an ounce, the price paid by that Govern-
ment for the conveyance of the British and Canada
mails through the United States.
Arrangements have been made between the
United States and Great Britain and Canada pro-
viding for the registration of valuable letters trans-
mitted between the three countries.
The steamship Catawaba had arrived at New
York from Savannah, with dates to the 29th ult.
Business was improving. The stock of sugars was
100,000 boxes.

A man named Dowd,
an engine-driver employed
by the railway
company, made a most important
announcement this day. He says that after mid-
night on Friday he had occasion to go into a back
yard in the rear of his house, when he saw a man
muffled up come to one of the windows in a side
of the building where the money was found on
Thursday last , he shoved a plank through the
window, and rested one end on the window-sill
and the other on a high embankment in a garden
adjoining. lie went out by the plank with some-
thing in a handkerchief, and returned in a quarter
of au hour, entered the building by the plank,
which he pulled in after him, and closed the win-
dow. Dowd is under the examination of the
police.
