The Honorable Francis Hncks. late Prime Minister
of Canada, is appointed, by Sir William Molesworth,
| Governor Of the Windward Islands, his residence
being fixed at Barbados and his salary $4,000 ster
ling The appointment is important, as showing the
| determination Of the new Colonial Minister In
England to put the right man in the right place,
irrespective Of family pretensions. The character
of Sir William Molesworth Is just such as stands out
| in bold relief in difficult times. Accustomed from
an early age to think and act for himself, to des.
pise the trammels of routine and to beard public
opinion in defence of his private judgment, he will
| not finch from the responsibility which attends his
promotion to the seals of the Colonial Office. I'm
fortunately there is little chance of his being
long one, unless signal piece of good fortune
should speedily befall the arms Of the allies, and
secure Lord Palmerstons tenure OF office by longer
lease. At the same time, even few months admin
| istraton may enable him to SOW the ground In
manner to insure fruitful increase in the future.

In relation to the prevailing dsquetude about
Austria the Monitew opens its columns to letter
from Bucharest, in which it is roundy asserted that
-. A..
Ottoman troops and the chiefs of the Austrian
army, the best understanding prevails. IL states
that the occupation Of Moldo.Wallachia by the
Austrian army, is not heavy burden for the in
habitants of the Pnncipalities persons have
wished to make it believed On the one hand, the
charges imposed on them by this new occupation
are not to be compared with those which were en-
tailed onAhem by the presence Of the Russans and,
the other hand, the Austrian army maintains the
most perfect discipline.
ltis still positively stated that the Emperor of
Rassia. with the Grand Duke Michael will arrive ut
Vienna in the course of September and proceed
from that capitol TO the Crip,ea 70 Esnect the army
There Is considerable movement in Southern Rms
sia for bringing up supplies to the Crmea before the
bad weather sets In. There are now, it Is calculated,
100 900 Russian troops in the Crimea: and for
ery, they received the main part Of their supplies
| from the Sea Of Azof, which Is not open to
them. They are obliged TO have recourse to other
ports The storehouses at Simpheropol and Balakava
are said to be completely empty, and from the
| vast quantities required for such immense body
Of and horses il Is difficult to ina gine how they
con be brought to the Crmea by land conveyance.
| The Monitsur publishes decree admitting wal
nut tree wood sawed into planks free of duty, when
| imported by French vessels Another decree admits
poppy seed free Of duty either by French vessels
by the vessels Of the country where II Is grown and
also by land, and fixes the conditions under which
| the oil may be extracted from it.
| The same official journal also announces, this
morning, that from details collected at Hclsngfors,
the losses of the enemy I'm the late bombardment Of
| Sweaborg are much more considerable than was at
first supposed, and that the Russian threc-decker
| anchored between Gustafward and Backh0lmen
not simply withdrawn from the spot for greater
protection, as was believed, but that being already
| struck and seriously damaged by the shells OF the
allies she was already in danger Of sinking II the
Russians had not got her with all speed into shallow
water, where she remains at present thrown on her
| side, and filed with water. The Inhabitants Of Swea-
borg were it seems, In terrible CONSERVATION lest
the allies should have attacked and burnt the town.
As il is, two powder magazines destroyed two
| shell magazines, one magazine full OF hemp and
| cordage, two magazines containing corn and -four
for the army, also of tar, large building
| tajung medicines for the army, seventeen private
| habitations, the house and Chincellere of the
| Governor General, eighteen ships struck in the
| hasna, and the granite quays damaged by the
| shells. The shells falling on board the ship Of war
| bad wounded Dinetysix men, who were conveyed
10 the hospital In the town but the number Of killed
Yves not ascertained. Up to the present moment as
any as 900 dead are admitted but it Is supposed
that this number Is far beneath the truth. The hos
| pta az He-ingfors il crsmmed with worndod snd
| j. obliged TO reject many, who are consequently
| lodged with the inhabitants.
On Sunday last the Able de Valois honorary
| canon Of the cathedral OF Notre Dame in presence
OF Prince Lucien Bonaparte, who some years back,

| The late visit Of The Qneen of England produced
such fermentation IN the capital that i u no won
der 4 after her departure a species OF stagnati9n

crowded, and the streets gorged with foreigners
from every nation under heaven; but compared with
| the inter, hustle and exhilaration OF the royal
witt, all is calm rs n summer lake. The hotels must
