His Royal' Highness Prince Frederick William, co- regent

ST PETEasuunau,_ JULY 12.—The Russian Invalid
publishes a bulletin. of the 21st of June from the Cau-
casus, from the camp, not At- from the fortress of the
Dutschnoje, in the Icyrk Pas.. This report, however,
contains nothing but accounts of marches and ma-
noeuvres, quite uninte,res4ng topersons unacquainted with
the ground,., excepting the account of an engagement on
the 17th of June by which the .Russiaus made them-
selves masters of theAntshimegQr mountain, a very im-
portant post in the military operations.in those parts. In
that. engagement the •-• Russians had seventeen men
Wounded and 'nine killed. The enemy, 3,000 strong,
fled as soon as•the attack begun.

THE QUEBEC` 'FITtE • SUBSCRIPTION 'AT 'MAN-
Oester.—The'Manchester Subscription • for the relief Of the
sufferers by 'the late calamitous fire in Quebec, now reaches the
sum, of 6,49ti1. 18s: ha 3 been asked more than once
the'thlier -rnanufacturhisr toting of Lancashire, upon
all of which the inhabitant's of Quebec have strong'claiini, are
not about to contribute. We' are glad to find that a meeting
is to be held at Preston, and we hope that Bolton, Rochdale,,
Oldham, Ashton, come forward, each according to
its' ability, to de'Something to aid the thousands of their• Suffer.•
frig fellow-subjects" in Quebee.—Manchester Guaidian.
EPRESS , TRAINS ON THE LEEDS AND MAN-
CHESTER RAILWAY.—Th9se trains commenced running on Mon-
day week, the 14th inst., two frOm Leeds and two from Manches-
ter daily, at the hours of nine in the morning and six'in the evening
from each place. On inquiry, we learn that they have maintained
their speed (which is not more than thirty to thirty-two miles an
hour, including stoppages) daily, with but one exception, when,
from the overheating of
,one of the axles of the engine, the train
exceeded its time by a quarter of an hour. The tinv.., fixed is two
hours between Miinchester• and Leeds, and the trains now regu-
larly accomplish the distance from foui to six minutes within the
two hours —Manc4ester Guardian.

A bet, for a, consiaerable sum of money, was taken
the other day by a gentleman in town, that he would find a man
who would ride one of the horses regularly employed in running
the Balfron stage-coach, belonging to Mr. James Stewart, inn-
keeper in that village, from Glasgow to Balfron, a distance of 19
miles, in 1 hour and 15 minutes. As might be expected, there
were heavy-bets depending on the result. The match came off on
Tuesday morning, ,when. Mr. Stewart's chesnut 8 years old mare
was selected, and she was ridden in gallant style, amidst the plau-
dits of a vast concourse of spectators, who, as usual, had turned
out for the, occasion, by tt young pan of the name of John Fergu-
son, jun., weighing nine stone. They started from the Round-tell,
on the Garscube-road, at six a.m., and arrived at Stewart's Inn,
Balfron, in 1 hour 51 minutes, being 9} minutes within the pre-
scribed time. This is considered by the gentlemen of the turf as
an extraordinary, feat, when it is remembered that it was performed
on a common, 1194 by no means easy, metal road, and by a mare
regularly employed in the lead of a heavy stage coach. The ani-
mal, we understand, was perfectly fresh after the journey.—Glas.
gate Journal.

.PEOSECIITIONS.—A return relative to the rates of
allowance for prosecutors' :and witnesses' expenses, and for
attorney and counsel, and toprosecutions for felonies and misde-
meanours, in the counties of England and Wales, at thelwo:last
assizes and quarter sessions, has been printed by' order of the
House of Commons, on'the motion of Mr. W. D. Christie/
M.P. for Weymouth. From a summary of the returns-
it ,appears that the,total number. of prosecutions for felo-
nies at the summer anises of 1844, and , the• quarter ses-
sions of 1844-45, in England and Wales, amounted to 1,957,
and the total- number of_ prosecutions for misdemeanours to
129 ; that the number of prosecutions for felony at the Spring
Assizes, and the Epiphany, or Easter Quarter Sessions. of 1845,
amounted to 1,779, and the number of prosecutions for mis-
demeanours to 100 ; and that the total number of prosecutions
,at the two last assizes and the two last quarter sessions, re-
spectively, amounted—those for felonies to 4,476, and those for
misdemeanours to 262. The number of cases in which no pay-
ment was made for brief or counsel's fee amounted, in the three
periods respactively, to 705, 725, and 2,099. ,
SERIOUS GIG ACCIDENT. --- Ou Wednesday,
accident of a very serious nature occurred in the Wandsworth-
rJad, which, it is feared, will terminate fatally. A young man,
named James. Scott, VMS' returning home from the City,. when .
the horse which he was driving suddenly took fright and darted
off at full speed towards the new road leading to Battersea.
The driver managed to keep his seat until he reached-the Bri-
tannia Tavern, where he was thrown out with fearful violence
whereby he received such.dreadful injuries that it was deemed'
•advisable tozemove him Lathe nearest hospital, where he now
lies in a very precarious.state.
