The follaWing is the official letter of the Queen's
first physician to the President of the Council of
Ministers:—
" Signor President of the Council a Ministers,—ller
Majesty the Queen found hetseif, at the commencement
cf the afternoon of yesterday, attack( d with the s 3 mp-
tome of her approaching tieliTery. These symptoms
continued during tho ensuing night. mnd this morning
but slowly. At 4 o'clock in the afterttoon I was enabled
to judge of the exJ,et position of the child, and I came
to the painful conviction that that •position was mist
unfavourable, and that an orrati,m Mai indispensable.
flaying consulted with my colleagues, whom I found of
a similar opinion, I proceeded to th o operation, after
which her Majesty. not without diffic silty, gave birth to
a child of the male sex, apparently strong and robust,
but, according to all appearances,. deprtyed of life.
Without losing a moment the ne iv-born infant was
baptizA, sub condilione, and then t All the resources of
science were applied in order to p: roduce symptoms of
vitality, but utthotit success. Di,tine Providence did
thign to crown our efforts. Lor Majesty the Queen
supported courageously the pains !. And the eanger of the
critical moment. and she is nc qv in a satisfactory
position, which I hasten to annour. cc to you, penetrated
with profound grief caused by Of% a unfortunate event.

By the Levant mail we have received Constanti-

that the insurgents had dispersed even before the ar-
rival of the Imperial troops sent to ohastise them.

CIRCASSIA.
DEFEAT OF. THE. RUSSIANS.
Letters from Trebizond of the 3d announce the
surprise and defeat of a large body of Russians
by Suasfir. in Daghestan. • &with crossed the
frontier at the head of a large force, and carried de-
vastation and pillage among the Tartar villages south
of Azderhan. General DOLGOROUKY, who commands
the Russian army, had not time to concentrate his
troops, which were for the most part cut up, discou-
raged, half-starved, and toiling their way through
locks and roads nearly impassable, and rendered
more so by the tramping of thousands of men and
beasts of burden on a narrow track, from which they
dared not to deviate. Besides these difficulties,
SHAMIL'S active and indefatigable mountaineers
harassed them at every step, and a general disorgani-
zation spread itself among the Russian ranks. They
reached Eskidevirche, some 70 miles over the frontier,
during the night of the sth of May, and fell upon an
ambuscade of the Daghlees, commanded by Smarm,
in person. The mountaineers being short of amuni-
tion were soon among them sword in hand, and the
Russian host was quickly put to the rout, with the
loss of a general, an aide-de-camp, 70 officers, four
guns, and most of their ammunition and baggage.
The Daghlees being loaded with booty, retired among
the fastnesses of their mountain retreats, after a cam-
paign which lasted from the 23d of April to the 6th
of May. During SUAMIL BEY'S absence the Kaima-
kamlik of Daghistan was entrusted to the care of
MOHAMMED BEY, who sent a number of emissaries
among the neighbouring tribes, engaging them to
rise en masse and join the ranks of SHAMIL. A letter
from Smilihouni stated that EMIR BEY, the brother-
in-law of SHAMIL BEY, was actively stirring up the
eircassians to revolt.

POLICE IN TELLIGENCE.
MANSION-HO USE.
STABBING BY A BOY.—George Willis, who was stated
to tie between eight and nine years of age, was charged
with having attempted to stab Robert Soule, aged eight,
and with having wounded Charles Wright, aged seven
years, so seriously in the eye with a piece of crab shell,
that the poor child will probably be for ever deprived of
the sight of it.

The first complainant, who belongs to Sir John Cass'e
school, said the prisoner came up to me in a court in the
Minories and made a stub at me with a case knit.. He
hit my body wiih the knife, but did not hurt me.
The polLeman who took him into custody said—
Having on the evening in question received intormation
that the boy had made most desperate attacks upon other
boys, I a ent to his father's home, in which he re sides, and
took him into custody. I afterwards saw the father at
the station-house, and heard him say that if he had been
at home at the time I called to appre bend his son, no
policemen should have sqken his child into custody.
When he was told uf the u:e the prisoner had made of
the desperate weapon, he said his child had a right to
use a knife in his own dr f.nce.

Charles Wright, who appeared with a bound-tip head,
was then called. He uroduced n surgetn's certificate,
which stuted that the eyeball was touch injured, and that
the cons(:quf ace was likely to ba the loss of the vision of
the eye. Ho said " the prisoner hurt one of toy eyes
with a piece of crab-shell."

Alderman Glans—Prisoner, wi,al have you to say in
your defence? The prisoner—Why, he threw me down
and struck me over the eye with a flint stone, and then
I went at him.

Alderman GIBBS—W ho told you to bay that? The
prisoner—Nobody at all.
Inspector Tuchunter said the unfortunate child at the
bar had a very bad example at home, and was notoriously
quite destitute of morn' feeling or notion of moral re-
sponsibility.
Alderman GIBBS —I wish his Esther was here. It iE

impossible that a father who sanctions the use of a knife
by his child in -revenging an injury; can be capable of
performing the duties of a parent, and in all probability
the depravity of the man has caused all the violence in
the child. If the prisoner happened to be two or three
years older, I certainly. would send him to the Central
Criminal Court for trial, but I cannot commit one of
such tender years to Newgatc. Under all the circum-
stances, and feeling that it is necessary to protect
society even against such youthful offenders, I shall re-
quire two good securities for his good behaviour for one
year. . . . . .

The prisoner, upon being locked up in the cage, began
;0 shout and scream and curse.

THE NEW NOVEL, " ADELAIDE LINDSAY,"—If
the editor of this novel, widely and well-known by several
successful productions • f literary fiction, as " Emelia Wynd-
ham," " Mordaunt Hall," "The Wilmingtons," kc., pos-
sessed far less ability than we have seen BO frequently exhi-
bited, we should nevertheless commend her stories for the
vein—no narrow one—of blameless feeling and right mo-
rality that flows copiously through them. The study of the
character of Adel.kide Lindsay, a charming, a natural, and a
thoroughly good girl, cannot fail to improve all that are
teachable by a contemplation of the beautiful. Her heart is
as susceptible of the master passion as any can be, but her
mind, strong in its sense of propriety, right, and justice, en-
ables her to check that passion, though it has once hurried
her beyond the limits of control. These volumes enchain
the attention and delight the other mental faculties, by the
many and varied attractions with which they teem. We
foretel much popularity for this novel.— Observer.

KING'S COLLEGE HOSPlTAL.—Yesterday (Friday)
evening a meeting was held in the board-room of King's
College Hospital, Portugal-street, Lincoln's Inn-fields,
Charles Heberden, Esq., in the chair. The munificent dona-
tion of 2001. from " M. E. S." having been announced, a re-
ference was made to the great loss which the hospital had
sustained in the death of the late Sir Robert Peel, Bart., who,
by his munificence and invaluable personal advocacy, had
greatly contributed to the well-being of the charity. A
motion was then submitted to the effect that, impressed with
the further loss sustained by the demise of his Royal High-
ness the Duke of Cambridge, the committee begged to offer
their respectful condolence to the illustrious relatives of the
late Duke, and to record upon the minutes of the hospital
