THE WAR.

Marshal St. Arnaud has issued an order of the day,
dated Varna, August 25, acquainting the troops that the
destination for the expedition was the Crimea; and that
the duty of the allied forces would be to take Sebastopol
as a pledge of peace. The order concludes by expressing
a hope that very soon the three standards of France,
England, and Turkey will be floating on the walls of Se-
bastopol by the aid of the devotedness and courage of the
allied troops.
The dispatch, which is dated the 30th August, adds
that the total number of the troops composing the expe-
dition amounts to 80,000 men ; that the greatest enthu-
siasm prevails in the army ; that the marines of the allied
fleets have asked, and obtained, the honour of forming
part of the storming party at Sebastopol; and, finally,
that the Duke of Cambridge, though not yet quite re-
covered, embarks with the expedition.
All the Turkish ships of war on the coast of Asia had
been put in requisition to carry troops and stores to
Varna. The Russians had captured a Wallachian ship,
which they had taken to Sebastopol.
The De'bats says:—All the accounts which we have of late
received from the Black Sea agree in declaring that the
licolera, which had made so violent an irruption on the ranks
of the army of the east, had declined with a rapidity which
could scarcely have been hopedfor. Fresh information, which
reached us yesterday, enables us to affirm that the amelio-

ration which has taken place in the sanitary state of the

allied armies continues: and increases ever; day7l;;• the
happy influence exercised over the mind of the troops by
the prospect of being soon in the face of the enemy.
Travellers worthy of credit state from Odessa and Se-
bastopol that the Russian commanders have drafted a
large number of convicts from the fortresses to which
they were condemned, and are employing them at their
harbour batteries. At Sebastopol there is a convict
battalion of 200 men.

A letter from Odessa, of the 22d, in the Cologne Ga-
zette, states that several vessels of the Allied Fleets had
appeared in sight of the port cYn the 20th. The garrison
took the alarm, and the inhabitants, who remembered the
effect of the French and English guns, were in the greatest
consternation. However, the vessels, after a little delay,
withdrew in the direction of the East, and official placarcl
were immediately posted up, announcing to the inhabf
tants of Odessa that the enemy had withdrawn because it
was convinced of the superiority of the Russian forces.
The situation of affairs in Asia has improved. Georgia
has been surprised by Schamyl with 20,000 Circassians.
The Russians were defeated, and have retired into the
fortresses. Important hostages were secured at Tiflis.
General Bebutoff has blown up the fortifications of Bay-
azid, abandoning the town in order teodirect reinforce-
ments on the points more immediatery threatened, in
particular to Erivan.
Letters from Rutschurt mention the concentration of
Russian troops at Galatz. They number' 60,000, under
General Liiders. Batteries are being constructed on the
shores of the Danube. Ohe object for maintaining the
position at Galatz is, the protection of the Russian flotilla,
for if Galatz were evacuated, the flotilla, consisting of 57
sail, would of course be lost.

The Fremden Blatt has advices from Galati of the Ist,
according to which a considerable number of French and
English 'gun-boats entered the Sulina mouth of the
Danube on the 31st of August.. It is asserted that the
Russians have destroyed all tae fire-engines and other
requisites for extinguishing a conflagration at Odessa,
Reni, Brailow, Cralatz, and Ismail, with the intention of
setting fire to those important towns should they be
forced to abandon them.

General Baraguay d'Hilliers, Commander-in-Chief of
the French expeditionary troops in the Baltic, with Gen.
Niel, of the Engineers, arrived at Dantzic on Tuesday
night in the Fulton. They proceeded direct to Paris
overland. The landing troops are also embarked, and will
return at once to France.

A telegraphic despatch from Stockholm apprises us that
the Fort of Gustaysvaern was blown up not by the Rus-
sians but by the British.

We are informed, upon the best authority, that, owing
to the spread of the cholera among the troops at Varna,
and the consequent heavy duties which devolve upon the
two Romanist chaplains to the forces in the East, Messrs.
Wheble and Sheehan, the government have just despatched
three more Romanist chaplains to the seat of war, to attend
upon the soldiers of that religion. One of these chaplains,
we understand, is a monastic of the Dominican order ; the
other two are both secular priests. The-outfit and passage
of one of the three chaplains, we understand, is defrayed
by the-Earl of Shrewsbury.—Morning Chronicle.
GOSSIP IN VIENNA.—A piece of information of import-
ance has reached this city. It has long excited surprise
here that the diplomatic correspondence between St.
Petersburg and Rome should be so activerand we now first
learn what is going on between the two courts. The
Emperor Nicholas holds out a prospect of 'some change of
system towards the Romanists in Poland, and of con-
cessions to the Latins at Jerusalem. He-is also intriguing
against the French. According to the Corriere Italiano,
the Czar entertains an idea of making his third son,
Nicholas, King of Poland, and as the Gkand' Duke is a
member of the Greek Church,.it was necessary to give his
Holiness some tranquillising assurances respecting the
Polish Romanists.— Times' Correspondent,
LIE RUSSIAN PRISONERS.—The steamers which came
in on Wednesday to sheerness harbour from- the Baltic,
brought 199 Russian prisoners. They had been anxiously
looked for during several days. The Valorous has six
women, the wives of soldiers, and one man, the high con-
stable, who was captured some time ago by an officer of
the fleet. No one will complain that the little female in-
fluence which camp life permits is not forgotten on such
occasions. Mrs. Gifford had to perform her affecting pil-
grimage to Odessa alone, sustained only by the strength
of

more fortunate in every respect, were permitted to ac-
company their husbands ; and even the soldiers' wives,
though separated from them on the voyage, will now be
permitted to rejoin them. It looked strange to see these
unwonted occupants of a grim man-of-war clustered on a
portion of the main deck set apart for their use—one
dividing her attention between a pair of very young
children, apparently twins, and none showing any signs
of depression. They were all plainly but neatly dressed,
the majority having coloured kerchiefs bound round their
heads, and otherwise resembling the Bavarian broom
sellers who find their way to this country. Jack owes
them on his voyage home the luxury of having his clothes
well washed, and he has evinced his gratitude by atten-
tions kept strictly within the bounds of decorum as well
as discipline. One half of the prisoners belonged to a
Russian corps, and wore red facings; the other were
Finnish Chasseurs, and had blue facings. During the
voyage they have held entirely aloof from each other, the
Finlanders disclaiming the idea of being considered Rus-
sians, and the Russians probably equally jealous of being
confounded with the Finlanders.. Both, however, as far
as they could be judged of by their appearance, are vastly
inferior in physical strength, in intelligence,' in smartness,
of discipline, in. clothing, and in equipment, to the soldiers.
of Western Europe. If the prisoners from Bomarsund
are to be considered average specimens of the Russian
troops, we need not despair as to the fortunes of the pre-
sent war. As they left the Termagant to go on board the.
Devonshire, they smoked their pipes, and chatted gaily to
each other. The Russian officers on board the Terma-
gant took no active part in the removal of the men to the
Devonshire. They appeared to be well educated and well-
bred, and spoke in grateful terms of the attentions which
they had received on their voyage. As the steam-tender
conveyed them from the Termagant, they stood upon the
quarter-deck and waved their caps in token of farewell.
The Times.

TEM Limerick Chronicle states-that Lord Gough has
been suddenly summoned to London, it is 'supposed to
induce him to take a command in the Eastern army.

THE VICTORIA REGIA.—The Russian journals announce
that the celebrated aquatic plant from the river Amazon,
the Victoria Regis, has commenced flowering in the hot-
houses of the Imperial Botanical Garden at St. Peters-
burg. It flowered for the first time in Russia in the
hothouse of a nurseryman, named Wagner, at Riga ; and
it is said that it is now on the point of coming into
flower in the hothouse of a private individual in the
neighbourhood of Moscow.

A HUSBAND KILLiikBY HIS WlFE.—Mary Ann Nap-
per, of Trowbridge, and James Napper, her son, have been
remanded to Devizes Gaol, on a charge of killing her hus-
band on Thursday night. It appeared that the mother
and son had had some altercation with the father, when
the son struck the deceased, by which he fell, and that
when upon the ground the female prisoner took hold of
her husband's head, and knocked it several times on the
ground. The deceased died the following morning, from
the effects of the blow. •

BREAD RlOT.—There was a bread riot at Nottingham
on Tuesday and Wednesday. The mob, which consisted
principally of boys, smashed several bakers' windows, and
created lively fears in the breasts of the peaceable inha-
bitants. However, the authorities took efficient measures
for the preservation of the peace by calling out the 7th
Hussars and reading the Riot Act, and causing several
ruffians to be taken before the magistrates, who remanded
them. A number of the bakers shut up their shops on
Thursday, and resolved not to sell any bread throughout
the week, except to regular customers. This is considered
by many of the inhabitants a strange proceeding, and
calculated to rouse the indignant feelings of the lower
orders. There is a good deal of excitement in the town,
and it is considered not at all improbable that there may
be a repetition of violence. The authorities are, however,
well prepared to meet such an emergency.
ADVERTISEMENTS A HUNDRED AND SEVENTY YEARS
AGO.—There are a tolerable number of losses advertised ;
the most numerous relate to dogs and horses. For an
extraordinary small spaniel a guinea reward is offered, and
for gray mares and bay nags the reward is always 40s.
This is the sum offered for a fat black boy, 18 years old,
in gray livery lined with green serge, green stockings,
and a gray hat—a reward which, we hope, was never paid.
Here is a curious bit of costume :—" On Sunday last,
April 6, 1680, strayed, a child, three years old, in a red
cap, striped gown, orange petticoat, green stockings, and
new shoes." When the description of the person is added,
the advertisement often becomes very amusing. Thus,
Nicholas Pricklowe, who has run away from his master at
the Royal Coffee-mill, in Cloth-fair, is described as "a
squat, thick fellow, with lank brown hair." Mary Golding,
who has taken French leave of her mistress, the laundress,
and with more than belonged to her, is described as "of
middle stature, brown hair, and low, broad forehead."
One Charles James is " of middle stature, flaxen hair, little
curled pate, thin-faced, and full gray eyes." Notices of
trampers, supposed to have stolen goods in their posses-
sion, are frequent, and sometimes a list of property sup-
posed to be stolen is published. Thus, in one John Robin-
son's possession the following articles were found A
flowered silk morning-gown and mantle, some women's
point sleeves, a pair of gold and coloured fringed gloves,
a tabby print watered waistcoat, a sad minerum-coloured
coat"—What colour could this have been ?—" with frost
buttons, and button-holes edged with gold purl." But,
for minute descriptions both of man and horse, perhaps
the following advertisement for the apprehension of John
Catchmead surpasses all :—" 24 years of age, of middle
stature, something haughty in speech and carriage, very
light-coloured hair, more like a short periwig, little beard,
face somewhat reddish by reason of the small-pox, but of
cheerful countenance. He used to wear a gray hat, a sad-
polonred coat, and used to travel about the country to sell
rugs and coverlids. He went off with a bay mare of long
body, and thick forelegs, hooked nose, and sour counte-
nance." Only the accustomed 40s. are offered for the
apprehea9l44 4f tbia markable pair.—HousehglqWqrcle,

PRINCE ALBERT'S VISIT TO FRANCE

last left the

THE Prince Consort on Monday evenine,
Isle of Wight in the royal yacht, with a
squadron in attendance, for the purpose of paying his
promised visit to the Emperor of the French at the camp
near Boulogne. Her Majesty, accompanied by the Earl
of Aberdeen, convoyed the Prince to the Victoria and
Albert, and having taken leave, returned to Osborne in
the Fairy royal tender. When the squadron was nearly
abreast of Southsea Castle, a signal rocket announced
the Queen's adieu to her royal consort, whereupon a
shower of splendid and coloured rockets flew high into
the air from the Victoria and Albert. The effect from
the shore was exceedingly beautiful.
The squadron, meantime, pursued its way, and, early on
Tuesday, came in sight of Boulogne harbour. Orders had
been given in the town to have all ready for the reception
of the Prince at half-past nine o'clock, and great pre-
parations were made to give His Royal Highness
a fitting reception. The sky was cloudless, the weather
magnificent, and the entire population appeared to
have poured itself upon the quays and jetty. The
vessels in the harbour were dressed with flags, and
the tricolour was profusely displayed along the whole
length of the quay. At the Custom-house, in the centre
of the quay, which was fixed for the place of landing, the
Imperial Guards were drawn up in three sides of a square,
in the centre of which the Prefet, Viscount Hamel, the
Sous-Prefa, the Mayor of Boulogne, and his adjoints
awaited the arrival of the Emperor. About half-past ten
the Victoria and Albert, with the tricolour floating at the
fore and the royal standard at the main, was seen
rounding the point on the Capecure side of the har-
bour, followed by the Black Eagle and the Vivid,
both with colours dressed. At this moment the excite-
ment of the multitude was raised to the highest pitch by
the arrival of the Emperor, who came down to the quay
expressly to receive Prince Albert. The Emperor was
attended by a group of officers and aides-de-camp. As
soon as the royal yacht entered the harbour, a thundering
salute of artillery greeted her arrival. She steamed
slowly along the quay, and Prince Albert, attended by his
Grace the Duke of Newcastle, General Lord Seaton, the
Hon. C. Grey, Captain du Plat, and other officers of dis-
tinction, in full uniform, was seen standing upon deck.
The first burst of welcome was given by a number of
English visitors on board the' London steamer Albion,
which was lying along the quay, near the jetty. The
Prince graciously acknowledged-the cheer, and continued
to bow to the multitudes who lined the quay. When the
Victoria and Albert approached within a short distance of
the Custom-house, where the Emperor was standing a
little in advance of his staff, the two illustrious
personages recognised each other, and, simultaneously
raising their hats, exchanged several bows. The
splendid band of the Guides struck up " God save the
Queen.!" and " Rule Britannia !" The royal vessel was
soon alongside, and a carpetted gangway having been
quickly thrown on board, Prince Albert ran briskly ashore,
and raising his hat advanced to the Emperor, who, after
raising his hat, tendered his hand to the Prince, which he
shook very warmly. The Prince bowedtwo or three times
in acknowledgment of the friendly expressions addressed
to him by the Emperor, and appeared. to be extremely
gratified by the warmth of his receptions The Emperor
and Prince-Albert arrived at the Camp d'Helfaut on Tues-
day morning from Boulogne. Twenty-five thousand
soldiers of the Camp of the North were reviewed by the
Emperor and Prince, who afterwards returned to Bou-
logne. All-passed off splendidly,
On Thursday night the artillery and cavalry from the
neighbourhood of St. Omer bivouacked near Boulogne,
in order to be ready for the sham-fight, arranged on a
scale of extraordinary grandeur.
On Friday, the grand evolutions of military, near
Boulogne, called into action a force of more than sixty
thousand troops. As early as two o'clock in the morning
the roads to Marquise exhibited signs of activity. Pedes-

trians, horsemen, and vehicles of every description, were
starting from Boulogne, or were already far advanced
towards the soene of action. Marquise is about twelve
miles from Boulogne. At six o'clock the Emperor and
Prince Albert left the Hotel Brighton, in a carriage to-
gether, eight carriages following with the French and
English General. Officers, and eminent personages of the
two nations. In the carriage immediately following that
of the Emperor were seated the English Minister of War,
General Lord Seaton, Adjutant General Wetherall, and
Colonel Fleury.. The cortege was preceded by a corps of
Guides, the rear guard being mounted Chasseurs. The
Imperial carriages dashed through the town at full speed
for the Calais road, and were in less than two hours in
the camp at Marquise.
The reception.of the Imperial party was most enthu-
siastic, and the welcome given to the English Prince Con-
sort was marked.and impressive. The group,of generals,
who had received the Emperor and Prince Albert, having
become thinned by the departure of a few to the other or
opposing army, the Emperor at .the head of his staff
assumed the command of the camp at Marquise. The

Imperial General, with the Prince Consort on his right,
rode down the lines and made a minute inspection of the
troops, his particular attention, however, being on this
occasion directed to the artillery.
This inspection was hardly tlnishe

The evolutions, which were of a most intricate charac-
ter, were performed to admiration. On the mock foe
being finally routed, and put to imaginary confusion, the
men were allowed a brief space to recover breath, and
were then formed in line. The Emperor and Prince
Albert rode down the lines, the whole army presenting
arms, thousands of them placing their caps upon their
bayonets.

The Emperor, surrounded by the general officers of the
imnosipv force that day brought together, introduced to
them his royal guest. The Prince cunbort addressed
them in. French, and passed a high eulogium upon their
movements. The Emperor and Prince Albert then par-
took of luncheon with the generals, after which they de-
parted in the. same order they had arrived on the field,
amidst a. perfect hurricane of cheering from the troops
and civilians.
The Prince left Boulogne at ten o'clock on Friday night,

and reached Osborne early on Saturday

BETTING AT MANCHESTER.-FRIDAY.

The betting, to-day, was not productive of any impor-
tant change in any of the St. Leger favourites ; Boiardo

was in strong force, and was backed for £3OO without im-
proving his price ; Acrobat gave way; a point, 8 to 1 being
currently offered; a few " tenners" were laid out on Der-
vish at 20 to 1; there were frequent offers to take 6 to 1
about The Trapper.; but Scythian,, Middlesex, and Han-
nibal have no friends.—Great Yorkshire Handicap : In the
face of 3 to 1 being taken about Rabgill at Tattersall's on
Thursday, he had no friends here at 4 to 1 to-lay—in fact,
nothing in the race is backed with any spirit ; the horses
most inquired after are Amalgamation, Typee, and Cathe-
rine Parr.—Notwithstanding that the weights for the
Cesarewitch and Cambridgeshire Stakes have now been
before the public for some time, they have caused very
little speculation. As low as Ipoo to 60 has certainly
been taken about Muscovite for the former event, but we
are inclined to believe that 24000 to 60 could now be ob.,
tained without much difficulty. 15 to 1 was taken to.a
small sum about Early Bird, and 1,000 to 30 about Bur-
lington, both for the Cambridgeshire Stakes.—Very little
