in harbour, which holited the royal standard, and
manned their yards, bat-so unlooked for was the visit,

On passing the-Platform -Battery-,no salute was fired;
but on nearing the Collingwood the royal standard was

.His Royal Highness
was preparing to go and. attack Mogadetre. This deter-

All Europe will recognise our right to punish the Moors
for their perfidious condact, and their attacks and re-
peated outrages.. From a signal -station which I have
established on an elevated spot at the west of Lalla Ma-
grania, we perceive the Morocco camp, whictrippears to
be on the hill's of.the right bank of the Waal* leagues
from Ouchda. It indiateili considerable numerical force.
Yesterday a thousand. of their cavalry came. towards us
to reconnoitre they presume& perhaps, tat we had
quitteeV.the environs of Lela Magrania, because fops
days' before I hid removed my cart "to the junction of
the Ouedel-Abbess and the Otuirdefets, in a wood, where
mrtroops were sheltered from'the great heat of the urn.

On the 'l3th;-the Marshal writes :
For several days past I: ad 7beec't informed by the
subjected Arabs of the Salida Xedrotaa and the Vpper
Tafna, that the camp of the Emperor's son was beingTdaily
reinforced. The absence 'of all communication with our
friends of Ouchda,' the salles of artillery arid r4uslietify
which we hear night and morning in &3'e enemy's camp,
and the spirit of bravado and presumption _which we
know reigns in that camp; announce to us hostilitprojects
on -a large scale. It. is- not, .as yott may suppose, to
make us evacuate our poSt of Latta' Magrania, the) all
the preparations are ma'kirm,y nothing less is propcised,
according to. what is said:Wile camp, than to take from
us the greater part of.' Algeria,.; it is riot even supposed
that we could resist for-a tittle-instant. This Morning
a spahi has arrived, who . has gone through all the
camps. They are, according-to him, dine in number, and
extended on the Isly front Djerf-el-Akhdar to Conditt-
sidi-Abderrahman, a space of two leagues. Four of these
camps are said to beeomposed of troops of Morocco or
Makhezen ; a fifth contains the household, of the son of
the Emperor, his concubines, baggage, horses, &c. &c.
This camp is said to, be nearly as large as ours ; the
four other camps. are., compesed -of - the contingents of
tribes. Other Arabs, who have seen the camps on the
hills, say that there are only five, but that others are
daily .arrivingi. The' number of men is estimatedat 40,000
The Spahis say that they have nine pieces of cannon,
six of which are mountain guns, and there are 'disco two
mortars. Another,Camp is. e.xpeeatecl, commanded by the
Emperor's second son:— I have-judged that we. cannot
remain much longer on the defensive without incurring
great danger,` the least of which is the:enemy-being con-
stantly reinforced, but the most to .fear is that he may
send detachments by my' flanki, and raise the, country
inrity rear:" It is also to be apprehended that-a longer
suspense mayear ant the!good-will. of the tribes who
form• my convoys &bin Tlemcen and Djemma Ghazaouat.
lifivizigyeiterday been joined by General,Bedeau, I de-
termined upon moving., forward this Cloning. I
shall march three leagues on, . the plain, thus
passing the time till the night, as if was only
foraging. shall there halt in marching order, give
,my columns time to sleep for several hours, and to-mor-
:raw, at the-first break of day, I shall arrive at the Isly,
two leagues from the head of the enemy's-camps. I
shall make'a halt there for an' hour, if we do not meet
with an enemy, in order 'to allow our men and cattle to
drink. I shall then move on-and make my attack, if the
enemy is still in the same place. If he lies fallen back,
it ds probable I may stop at Djerf-el-Akhdaraill the heat
of the day is passed, and attack in the evening, or at
latest the next day. I have about 8,500 infantry, 1,4001
regular cavalry, 400 irregular horse, and sixteen pieces
of artillery, four ofavhich are field.gims. It is with this
small numerical force' We are aboUt to attack this multi-
tude, which, according to every account, reckons 30,000
horse, 10,000 foot, and eleven guns. But Ty army is
full of confidence and ardour, and -relies, as- well as its
General,upon gaining. the 'victory. If we obtain it, it
will be a ,new example that success thies not always
belong to the greater battalions, and it will be no longer
aljoWable to say that war is nothing but game of
chance. , I shall have the h'Onour of .writing:.: again as
scion as the battle is over, relating precirselyile result,
whatever it may be."

THE' SULTAN ABDUL MBDSCIIIIY'S WATCH
Messrs. Hart and Son. of Cornhill; have just completed
for the Sultan Abdul Medschid, a most splendid . watch,
one of two watches for which an order was given to
them thraugh the Turkish . Embassy, about sixteen
months ago. The other watch is.nearly completed, but
riot,yet;ioi state sufficiently perfect to be sent with the
One -first mentioned to "Constantinople' immediately.
This watch is of the diameter of five inches, according
to the order transmitted to the makers. It is in a double
gold case,. the gold being of the:standard ortvventy-two
carats ;' the back external case is lieautifully4enamelled
with flowers, with a border of arabesque, serfilling. This
part of the workmanship is Aterrexqiiisit4; 'the brill.
Kaifu of the'colours and the delicacy of- the pencillin
being superior to anything of the sort ever produced in
this country, and surpassing anything we:have seen of
the kind ;in foreign manufacture. The dial is white
opaque enamelled on Copper, similar to English watches
in general, but the-figures are Turkish Characters. The
hands are of blue steel set,. With - diamonds. The one
hand represents a dart, the other a shorter daft or arrow
with the crescent at one end. The movement is dtsplex,
with a chronometer balance, and jewelled in ten ruby
holes. The watch „strikes the hours. and. quarters by
Itself, as the time represents, which striking is repeated,
together with the minnteS, by pushing uptirds a small
gold slide. The.inner bottom is of crystal, it order to
ihow the:repeating mechanism 't through-the crystal ate
two holes to wind
.tip the striking part and the move-
tnent. • Wires, instead of the .old method by a bell, are
lased, and the sound is most harmonious and powerful,
and as, near the tone of a collegiate or cathedral clock as
'can be imagined. - The pendant, or handle, is formed by
fi4 scions, beautifully, cn.rated, and 'shaped pyramidi-
early. The watch, as a whole, is perhaps. the most costly
and elaborate piece of mechanism to: measure time yet
produced by English workmen, and does great credit to
the makers. It was shown on Wednesday morning last
to her Majesty the Queen and to his Royal Highness
Prince Albert, both of whoM expressed 'their high ad-
mirationnt its elegance and the good taste which was dis-
played in the enamelling, &c. The price of the pair is
1,200 guineas. It will leave this country in a few days
.for Constantinoplei.Where it will, no doubt; form an ob-
E..ct of surprise and astonishment to the inmates of the
'dice of the Sultan.

PURCELL COMMEMORATION.—The annual COMM-
nwration of Henry Purcell took place yesterday in West-
minster Abbey. These celebrations afford the opportu-,,
city of hearing, at least once it 'year, .eherch music sung
as it ought to be ; for the members of the Purcell Club
volunteer to give effect to the-works of the eminent com-
poser. The performance of Purcell's fine compositions
within the edifice where they first became .appreciated
also serves to give additional effect' to the '6ommemora-
tions. ,The usual vocal strength of the Abbey choristers
was yesterday increased nearly twofold; and the cathe-
dral service was performed by them in a manner that
Showed they fully comprehended the compositions of
their master. The effect was more impressive than those
Who hear the service as ordinarily chanted can conceive.
The anthem vas sung with much feeling, and with it
concluded the commemoration. All the seats in the
before one
Abbey were occupied, and the aisles were crowded.

one immense sheet of flame. .None otthe engines could
'be got tn'work in consequence of a scarcity of water.
One machine belonging to the Railivsy Company was
supplied by means of blickts of water from a distant

so small a quantity of water. : Towards • two o'clock the
fire was nearly ont. The wreaks of the several carriages
could be seen -amidst the ruins ; the -number, however,
destroyed, could not be exactly ascertained. The whole

burned,:ns n§-Well as nearly every article in the place be-
