THE RUSSIAN DESPATCH FROM

CHINA.

The St. Petersburg Gazette of the 9th (21st) Aug.
publishes the following :

" On the 7th (19th) August arrived at St. Peters-
burg, from whence he proceeded immediately to
Peterhof, Lieutenant-Colonel Martynow, sent as
courtier by Count Poutiatine, and who completed
his journey in 50 days from Tien-tsin, across the
northern portion of China, Mongolia, and the
whole of Siberia. He is the bearer of the news of
the cessation of the military operations of the allied
Anglo-French armies, and of the conclusion of
treaties of peace with China. Russia signed a treaty
with that Power on the June, and it was followed
by a similar step on the part of the United States of
America. France and England signed their treaties
some days later. The Chinese Empire is thus open
to Europe, to her commerce, her civilisation, and to
the free exercise of the Christian religion, &c.
" The previous treaty concluded by Aide-de-
Camp General Mouraview, and signed the May at
Aihun, had already fixed our frontiers with China,
leaving the left bank of the Amour in the possession
of Russia."

FRIGHTFUL BOAT ACCIDENT NEAR

WORTHING.

TWELVE LIVES LOST.

On Thursday afternoon a frightful boat accident occurred
near the coast, a short distance from Worthing, by which
the lives of 12 persons were lost. There were 20 persons in
the boat, eight of whom were saved.

It appeared that Mr. George Tort, a gentleman from
London, has for some time past been occupying the
Augusta:House, Worthing. While there, a Mr. W. Smith,
with his family, came to visit him. On Thursday
morning Mr. Torr and his wife, Mrs. Smith, and
other friends went to tLe Littlehampton Regatta and
Races; before leaving Worthing, however, they
said that the servants might take the children for a
sail. Accordingly a pleasure yacht, named the Mary Eliza,
was engaged for the purpose. George Wood was the owner
of the yacht, and she was manned by two experienced boat-
men, Jacob Tester aid Edwin Bland. The entire party left
Augusta House shortly after two o'clock, and were put on
board the yacht by a ferry-boat. As we have just stated the
company consisted of 20 persons altogether. The yacht first
sailed in an easterly direction, then she took to the west of
the town, and shortly afterwards was seen returning towards
Worthing. At this point she was passed by the Fairy yacht,
when all appeared to be perfectly safe. In a few minutes,
however, a sudden squall arose and capsised the Mary Eliza.
The majority of the party were thrown overboard; but it
would appesr that one of Tester's legs became entangled In
the ropes, and while in this position he was seized bold of
by such of the party as had the opportunity—eight persons
in all. While in this position, the shrieks of those who
clung to him attracted the attention of the crew of the
Fairy, which bad just before passed. They came to the
rescue as soon as possible, and saved the lives of
eight, Tester being among the number. His conduct,
considerirg the very trying position in which be was
placed, appears to have been most praiseworthy. The
bodies of the 12 who were drowned were picked up during
that afternoon and on the following day, and those who
were saved are now in a fair way of recovery. The bodies
of the drowned lie at Mr. Harmer's Royal Baths, where
they await the coroner's inquisition. Their names are---
Martha Smith, Richard Smith, Thomas Smith, Geo. Smith,
and Clara Smith, all children of Mr. W. Smith ; Florence
Torr, Ada Tarr, and Elizabeth Torr, all children of Mr.
Torr ; Clementina Jackson, a little girl ; Harriet Hum-
phrey and Ann Hennes, servants ; and Bland, the other
boatman. The names of those saved are—Emma Smith and
George Torr, two children ; Emma Shark, Ellen Reading,
and Matilda Lacey, servants ; Louisa Bright and a child ;
and Tester, the boatman.

- -
At a considerable distance to the eastward of the harbour is

a very strong fortification, mounting many heavy guns ;
further on, and opposite the fort on the east end of the
breakwater is another very strong fortification of three
tiers of guns, resembling Fort Hornet, All these works are
commanded, or will be commanded, by a chain of redoubts
on the surrounding hills, in the centre of which stands the
Citadel La Roule, which has a magnificent view of the
harbour and surrounding country.
We bad not time to count the guns, nor pet:haps would it
have been prudent; but, judging from the great extent of
fortifications, and the ground they covered, there could not
have been less than 2,000, and, from the loud reports, they
must have been of very heavy calibre. So many guns, and
so many different forts at considerable distances from each
other, would require a large army to defend, and a still
larger army and fleet to attack ; and the probability is,
Cherbourg would not be seriously attacked with a view to
its capture, but it might be so tormented that a fleet could
not lie there with impunity.
France may be asked, What is all this for ? and she would
no doubt reply, We have no Isle of Wight for the protec-
tion of our roads, and the Emperor has made one. We have
no Portsmouth harbour, and he has made three basins, and
is about to make a fourth, which he has a right to do--it is
no business of ours ; but it is our business to take care of
ourselves, and that can only be dune by a strong and power-
ful fleet. _ _

Let us now examine in what way Cherbourg will affect
our safety. In former wars France collected her Channel
fleet in Brest, anal off that port we spent many an anxious
day and night. Plymouth breakwater did not then exist,
and when bard pressed we only bad Torbay to run for, and
the moment the wind came to the eastward we were off to
our old station. This gave us great experience, made good
sailors and smart officers, but it wore out both men and
ships, and did not keep the enemy in port, fur they sailed
when they pleased.
In another war, if France means mischief abroad, she will
keep her fleets in the western ports ready to put to sea; if
she means mischief at home, she will collect her forces at
Cherbourg, and we will watch her from Alderney, Portland,
and St. Helen's, and save wear and tear ; so far we shall be
better off.
If she means invasion, sbe must collect her steamers to
carry troops, and these steamers must be covered by a fleet,
and before she can land we must have a regular stand-up
fight, and I have no fear for the result; but, sir, what I
fear is, that in time of profound peace, France, having a
large army at command, a large fleet, and a large number
of seamen always ready, may suddenly make au attack on
this country from Brest, Cherbourg, Boulogne, or any
other Channel port she pleases. Remember, this does not
now require ships of war (though she is preparing steam
transports to carry 15,000 cavalry)—she would only have to
seize steamers—no matter who they belonged to—collect
them at Cherbourg, and this is only GO miles from Port-

CHERBOURG AND 511? C. PIA PIER

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

has been asked what did we see at Cherbourg ?
I will tell you. On approaching the land a magnificent
breakwater appeared rising from the sea, defended by four
strong batteries, mounting many heavy guns, and so insu-
lated that is the event of the breakwater being boarded

they could not be taken by escalade.
On the starboard hand going in is the fort of Querque-
vile, between it and Fort Hornet, with its four tiers of
guns; on every projecting point are earthen. works, close
to the water's edge (the most dangerous of all for ships),
mounting many heavy guns. From Fort Hornet to the
Place d'Arnas there is a continuation of batteries (some
not finished), along the sea front to the line wall which
surrounds the town. Inside of these fortifications lies the
dockyard (about double the size of Portsmouth), baying
three basins, capable of containing sixty sail of the line,
thirty of which can lay alongside the jetties. There are, I
think, ten building slips and six docks fit to receive the
largest sized ships. Round the basins, at convenient dis-
tances, are large storehouses and workshops of every de-
scription, built with stone excavated from the basins.
On one of these slips was a 90-gun ship, the City of
Nantes, ready for launching. It was intended to let the
water in with a great rush and fill the basin at once, to
accontplish which a mound of sand was constructed at some
distance from the gates of the outer basin, that was to be
gradually filled by sluices, and the pressure was supposed to
be sufficient to carry away the mound and let the water in
like a torrent.
In the event of the pressure not being sufficient the
mound was mined, ready to spring at the appointed time;
unfoitunately for the grand display, when the sluices were
opened some part of the mound gave way, and it gradually
crumbled down, and the grand spectacle failed; but the
basin was filled in time, and the ship was launched amidst
loud cheers of " Vive Napoleon," and "Vive l'lmperatrice."
To the eastward of the Place d'Arnaes is the Merchants'
Harbour, where lay 20 gunboats. This harbour is approached
between two long piers nearly dry at low water; at high
! water vessels enter the basin, which is capable of containing
a considerable number of merchant vessels. The Mercantile
Harbour is entirely separate from the public establishments.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAY).

MARLBOROUGH-STREET. PERSEVERING AND
DETERMINED PICKPOCKETS.— Wm. Clark, 19, Wm.
Burke, 14, and Margaret Clines, 26, three most deter-
mined pickpockets, were charged before Mr. Bingham
under the following circumstances :
Charles Cole, 317 A, a very active detective officer, said
that on the previous night, at eleven o'clock, be saw the two
lads at the corner of Coventry-street, and suspecting them
he watched them for a few minutes, and on two gentlemen
turning up Windmill-street he saw the two lads follow them
and try one of their pockets. They then went across
Coventry-street and spoke to the female, and afterwards down
Coventry-street towards Leicester-square, and when at the
corner of Princes-street Burke tried another pocket, in Lei-
cester-square he tried another, and passing into St. M artin's-
court, be saw him try another. He spoke to the gentleman,
who seemed indignant at the interruption, and would not take
the trouble to see whether he had lost anything or not.
He still kept the prisoners in view and followed them back
to Coventry-street, where, after they had sat on the steps of
the Argyll Rooms for some time to rest themselves, they re-
sumed operations, trying at least a dozen other gentlemen's
pockets. He then with assistance took them into custody.
The prisoner Clines he had no doubt—as he had not seen her
take any part in the attempts, only keeping close to the
others—was in attendance to receive the produce of the male
prisoners' exertions.
Mrs. Harriet Durrant, the female searcher, proved finding
four silk handkerchief on Cline, an Indian straw cigar case,
containing a puree with Gs., and a female's collar.
The prisoners, who seem to be adepts in picking pockets,
were remanded.
