THE STATE OF THE THAMES.

At the meeting of the Commissioners of Sewers
yesterday, Dr. Letheby reported as follows respect-
ing the present state of the Thames :—" The foul
condition of the river continues to increase, and is
exciting attention both here and on the continent.
I received a number of communications relating
to the subject and to the measures which are thought
necessary for abating the evil. Some of these
are before you ; but as I have no authority from
you to entertain them, or to examine into their
merits, I would recommend that they be forwarded
to the 'Metropolitan Board of Works. One of these
communications is from M. Bourbee, Professor of
Geology at Paris. It has reached me through the
Lord Mayor. Another is from M. Goethaler, of
Antwerp ; and there are several which have been
directed to this commission. M. Bourbee is of
opinion that the whole of the present mischief is
due to the quality of the soil through which the
river flows, and he recommends that the whole of
the infected bed of the river should be covered with
hydraulic lime and pebbles. He thinks that the
efficacy of the concrete thus formed will depend, not
merely upon its producing a solid channel for the
flow of the river, but also on the causticity of the
lime, which will destroy the putrid organisms, and
therefore he suggests that the whole course of the
river should be concreted at one time. He is,he says,
aware of the magnitude of the undertaking, and
he trusts to English wealth and English skill for
accomplishing it. The other schemes are of less
pretension, and you may perhaps be of opinion that
they ought to be forwarded to the Metropolitan
Board, who are now inquiring into the subject. I
wish however to make this remark—that the state
of the river is fast becoming worse and worse. The
organic impurities are increasing from day to day ;
and are now just four times as abundant as they
were on the 11th of June."
Mr. DAw (chief clerk) said he had been desired
to make a return to the Secretary of State of all
that had been done by the commission in connection
with the river. Of course he could only return
nil, as the Court had nothing to do with the river.
Dr. Letheby was requested to forward the com-
munications referred to in his report, to the Metro-
politan Board of Works.

DINNER, TO THE EARL OF DERBY AND MR.
DISRSELL—The dinner to the late Prime Minister and
Chancellor of the Exchequer, which will take place on
Saturday in the Merchant Taylors' Company's Hall, is not
given by that hon. company (as by some mistake stated by
us yesterday), but by the supporters of the late Govern-
ment, in token of their admiration of the great talents and
successful conduct of affairs of their celebrated chiefs.—

A Paris letter, in the Independence of Brussels,
says:—" I have just seen an English officer who is
returning home, after having, by order of his Go-
vernment, visited all the ports in the Black Sea.
The Russian Government has done nothing to raise
Sebastopol from its ruins. Poor people stroll
about the neighbourhood collecting the bones of
horses to make animal black, and also to pick up
the remains of weapons of all kinds which are
still to be met with, in quaritities on the plain.
The Russians will not rebuild the town until the
port shall have been completely cleared of all
obstructions."

THE ARMY.

It is rumoured in military circles that it is in
contemplation to reorganise and augment the corps
of Royal Engineers, in order to raise . that force to
10,000 men, or about double its present number.

MILITIA.
The Forfar and Kincardine and Norfolk Militia
Corps were inspected on Thursday at Sheerness, on
the artillery practice ground, by Col. Nedham, Com-
mandant. The regiments were put through their
various manoeuvres by Major Boothby, of the For-
far Militia, in a praiseworthy and soldierlike style.

15 officers and 322 rank and file, embarked at Dub-

GERMANY.

The Nuremberg Correspondent says :—" The
general conviction in well-informed circles is that
the dissidence which has arisen in the German
Diet respecting the proposal made by Hanover will
not be carried to extremes, but that matters will
be arranged. Bavaria at present is sparing no
pains to effect a compromise ; she shares the opinion
that so important a measure cannot be adopted
without the consent of Prussia. It must also be
remembered that the representative of Austria was
not present at the sitting when the proposition
was brought forward ; and, as he has since been
appointed Minister of Foreign Affairs at Vienna,
his efforts may greatly contribute to the success of
the conciliatory steps taken by Bavaria."
London, England, 1859-05-21

FOLKESTONE.

A meeting was held in the Sessions-hall on
Wednesaay ''for the purpose of considering the
expediency of Worming a volunteer rifle corps in
the town and neighbourhood. The chair was taken
by the Mayor (Captain Kennicott, R.N.), who
opened the business of the meeting by saying that
on Thursday last he had received a requisition to
call a public meeting to consider the necessity of
taking steps for the formation of a volunteer rifle
corps. He was delighted to comply with that
request, and he was ready at all times to do what
lay in his power to 'promote the welfare of his
country. We were placed in such a critical position
at the present time that it became incumbent upon
all to do what they could towards helping the Govern'
ment in any danger that might threaten us. He
rejoiced in the extent to which the patriotic feeling
had been called forth.

Mr. BROWELL considered the subject one that
demanded the attention of all the subjects of the
Queen of this free State. He would. propose :
" That this meeting is of opinion that in the present
aspect of affairs it is desirable to form a volunteer rifle corps
for the town and neighbourhood."

The resolution was seconded by Capt. Brockman,
and carried unanimously.

A committee of eleven gentlemen was then ap-
pointed, and thanks being voted to the chairman,
the meeting separated.

IPSWICH.

A preliminary meeting of some of the leading
inhabitants of Ipswich wa3 held on Wednesday, for
the purpose of establishing a volunteer rifle corps
under the regulations recently issued by the War-
office. A provisional committee was formed and

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN:

SIR,--Can you explain why Turkish 6 per Cent.
Stock is now selling at 50 or 60, when within the
last three months it has been 97, and within the
last four years, 107 ?
The Debt of Turkey is the smallest in Europe ;
Turkey is most punctual and honourable in its
engagements, and a proportion of the Bonds on
Pledged
year paid of at par. The Egyptian tribute,
viedged as additional security, is regularly sent
direct to this country; half of this tribute, it is
aaid, is paid in dues by an English Packet Com-
4. ,4171 and actually retained here.
. unless there is some explanation beyond what
apparent, three months hence the public will
s,,earcely believe that in the month of May Turkish
Per Cent. Stock could be bought to pay 12 per
cent. I am, &c.,

great suffering, and could scarcely stand, and Whose face
bore evident signs of the brutal attack made on him), said
that on the proviouS afternoon he went to 9, Whiting-street,
Vauxhall-bridge-road, the home of the prisoner, Bateman's
father-in-law, pre usly sending for a constable, but fear-
ing he should lose the prisoner he entered the house, and
seeing the prisoner in the back parlour, told him he wanted
him for the robbery in Hampstead-street. He said it was
a mistake ; that he had done nothing for 18 months, having
given it up. Ile then went to the window, which he opened,
and he (Joy), thinking he was about to escape, said he
would have none of that, upon which ho turned round and
struck him a violent blow on the mouth. He (Joy) then
took out his handcuffs, upon -which the prisoner struck him
several blows about the face, and afterwards got hold of a
heavy bottle, like a soda water bottle, and struck him seve-
ral blows about the head with it, nearly stunning him, and
inflicting a very severe wound, blacking his eyo, and
covered his'i-face with bruises. He then butted him in the
stomach, causing him severe internal iAjary, so that he
could scarcely walk.

Mr. Bingham, seeing the officer suffering greatly, ordered
him to be seated, and in committing the prisoner for trial
for the robberY, and for wounding the officer, with intent
to do grievous bodily harm, said it was not the first time he
had been injured in the public service, and he had no doubt
his conduct would be properly noticed.

It is rumoured in military circles that it is in
contemplation to reorganise and augment the corps
of Royal Engineers, in order to raise that force to
10,000 men, or about double its present number.

The Toulonnais states that the authorities of that
port have received orders to prepare the hospital of
St. Mandrier, Opposite the roadstead. This extensive
building will be arranged so as to accommodate
5,000 patients. The Algesiras screw liner, which
is now in that port, is to shortly leave to join the

THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, MAX /1, 1859,

which alone would, in his opinion, render it worthy
of an intelligent body of Englishmen. Its purport
was—

" That this meeting, while repudiating the idea of British
intervention in the present struggle between France and
Austria, yet desires to express its deep conviction of the ne-
cessity of recognising the independence of Italy, as much
in the interests of the peace of Europa as of too londe-
layed justice to the Italian people." g.
Mr. TAYLOR was proceeding to argue in favour of
his amendment, but being interrupted by numer-
ous cries of " Sit down," and other expressions of
disapprobation, he took a show of hands as to
whether or not the meeting would hear him, and
as a ludicrously small number of hands were held
up in his favour he at once resumed his seat.
The amendment having been seconded,
Mr. GILPIN, M.P., objected to it on the ground
that its adoption would give to the meeting an ap-
pearance of partisanship, which the promoters of it
were anxious to avoid. There were two sources of
danger of England getting involved in the war.
One was the generous sympathy of the true-hearted
people of Britain for the oppressed of every nation,
and the other the notoriously German sympathies
of some portions of the community. (Applause.) If
even in the interests of the nationalities they still
implored, demanded, (insisted upon neutrality—
(cheers)—they could with greater force require that
those who sympathised with despots should observe
it. (Cheers.)
Mr. TAYLOR said that Mr. Gilpin's speech had
shown that his amendment might be understood in
a sense in which he did not intend it, therefore he
begged to withdraw it. (Cheers.)
The resolution was therefore unanimously agreed
to.

Mr. NICOLAY moved that a memorial embody-
ing the foregoing resolution should be prepared and
presented to Lord Derby by a deputation, consisting
of the Lord Mayor and other gentlemen.
The resolution having been seconded by the Rev.
NEWMAN HALL, and unanimously assented to,
Thanks were voted to the Chairman and to the
Lord Mayor, and the proceedings terminated.

RUSSIA.

A Paris letter, in the Independence of Brussels,
says :—" I have just seen an English officer who is
returning home, after having, by order of his Go-
vernment, visited all the ports in the Black Sea.
The Russian Government has done nothing to raise
Sebastopol from its ruins. Poor people stroll
about the neighbourhood collecting the bones of
horses to make animal black, and also to pick up
the remains of weapons of . all kinds which are
still to be met with in quantities on the plain.
The Russians will not rebuild the town until the
port shall have been completely cleared of all
obstructions."
