was that the visit was undertaken , " it being the wish « t his Majesty to make a- public demonstration of the good footing upon which lie stands with France , and of the falsehood of the reports which attributed to him the character of an agent and partisan cf Russia . Prince Napoleon is instructed to- enforce upon his Majesty the necessity of showing to the world that he gives his cordial and unsuspected support to the Allied Powers in the Russian affitir .

We are in possession of authentic accounts respecting the movements of the combined fleets up to the 16 th ult . The expedition , -with troops and munitions , had safely arrived at Batoum , touching at Siuope on the 14 th , on ita return . It there communicated to the combined fleets I hat an attack of the Rua&ian fleet was much dreaded at Butoum ; and then it returned without delay to Constantinople , the wind being favourable , in order to take ia fresh truopa and ammunition . Thin expedition consisted of tix Turkish und six Anglo-French vcs&cls . On the morning ot 14 th ft division of tuo combined fleets weighed anchor , and sefc JJftfl . for Batoum . The remainder of the fleet was left atf- £$ 1 tVf > e * I * 1 tne afternoon of the eamo day two steamers were « en | : to Batoum to Bignaliae , and one steamer was despatched to Constantinople .
By despatches from Constantinople , dated the 23 rd nit ., we learn that the combined fleets returned on the 22 nd to the Bosphorous , and brought up in their former anchorage at Beycos , to the general astonishment of the people of Constantinople . It was believed that they were preparing to convoy more troops to the Asiatic coast . The admiral * had received at Sinope bv the Caton pressing orders to protect the Hurbiabjkig , and to send back all Bussian ships to Sebastopol . Nothing had been seen of the enemy ; but one report stated them to be cruising off the straits leading into the Sea of Azof , and another to be between Caffa and Theodosia on the coa ^ t of Anatolia . The despatch announcing the arrival of the combined fleets at Constantinople requires confirmation . We are
disposed to believe that it may turn out to be the division which convoyed the Turkish transports back from Batoum to Constantinople . Lord Dudley Stuart has been entertained with distinguished nononrs by Omar Pasha at Schnmla , and by Meliemet Pasha , the governor of Adrianople . At Constantinole he was engaged m furthering the interests of the Poles desirous of enteriug the Turkish service . M . Breanski , a retired colonel of the Piedmonteso army , in which he commanded the regiment of Casale , had left Constantinople for Kara as a traveller . The Divan , however , had ordered that this superior officer should be received with the honours dne to a general of brigade . Another Sardinian officer , Count Stradin had joined the staff of Omah Pasha at Shumla .

* WAR SYMPTOMS AT HOME . The Government are turning their attention to the defences of the south-coast . Several troops of artillery have arrived at Eastbourne , and taken possession of the Martello towers and the fort , which is being prepared for active service and defensive operations . It has also been determined to fortify the western side of Ldttlehampton harbour , and the new battery which is to Deconstructed in the parish of Ciixoping has been contracted for , Messrs . Locke and Nesnam being the contractors . On the western side of IfeThaven harbour also works are about to be
erected , the site to be Castle-hill , a peculiar geological formation resting on the chalk , or rather on the Cooml ) rock which coven it , and which is almost unique in the locality . The ? Goaport defences are also being strengthened . The Lords of the Committee of Privy Council for Trade , have received a communication from the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty , requesting that instructions rniay be givfcn for the shipping masters throughout 1 the United Kingdom to lie placed in communication with the several officers in charge of the-naval , rendezvous at the respective ports , and that tley may be directed to afford every assistance in their power towards the entry of seamen for her
Majesty ' s service . Their lordships are desirous of promoting to their utmost extent the wishes of the Admiralty , and have requested the co-operation of the Cornmissioners of Customs for that purpose . About fifty tons pf medical stores , from the naval hospital at Haslar , were sent out from Southampton , on Friday , by the Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Company ' s steam ship Rajah , to the Britieli fleet in the Black Sea . These stores were contained in 250 . packages , and their contents comprised everything that would be necessary after a naval action , such as crutches , knee-caps , bandages , apparatus and instruments for surgical operations , and every requisite for gun-shot wounds , &c .
the hardy fishermen of the western coast , and explaining the duties and advantages of the new marine service , lie was much gratified at the good feeling everywhere displayed , and had the satisfaction of numbering 252 able-bodied and expc « t men , young and middle-aged , for enrolment . In Galway this was more especially manifest , and on his visit to the primitive colony located in the CLtddagh district , the women , with a , courage and devotion worthy of patriotic heroine ? , exclaimed , not only will our men enter with you , bat our sous also , and if any of the tribe refuses the service , never fear , as we'll shame them into it , by offering ourselves £ volunteers . ' Such was the noble sentiment of the Claddagh women , aud the fishermen cheered in response to the appeal of Captain Jerningham , ' so happily wound up by the characteristic ardour of Irishwomen , when they learnt that their Island Queen requires the aid of her loyal Irish subjects . "
Great stress has been laid upon the advantages Russia would gain by dalay , T > ut a short retrospective and prospective view of what was done last year , and will be done this year , in commissioning for active service line-of-battle screw steam-ships , must satisfy the public that the advantages of delay in entering upon war are nearly ten to one in favour of Great Britain . The present Russian fleets have been the work of years , while during the past year Great Britain has completed and commissioned the following powerful screw steam-ships : —The Duke of Wellington , 131 , in February , 1853 : the St . Jean
d » A cre , 101 , in May , 1853 ; the Royal George , 120 , in October , 1853 ; the Princess Royal , 90 , in October , 1853 ; and the Creasy , 80 , in December , 1853 . In the present year , although one month has only just expired , three line-of-battle screw steam-ships have been commissioned , —the James Watt , 90 , in January , 1854 ; the Csesar , 90 , in January , 1854 ; and the Nile , 90 , on February , 2 , 1854 ; and within a fewmore months the following , now nearly ready , will be commissioned , if required : —The Royal Albert , 131 ,
to he launched in April next ; the Mar borough , 131 ; the Hannibal , 90 , launched at Deptford ; the Orion , 90 , ready for launching at Chatham ; the Algiers , 90 , at Devonport ; the Majestic , 80 , fitting at Sheerneas ; and the Irresistible , 80 , in an advanced state at Chatham . In January , 1853 , the Agamemnon , 91 ; the Sanspariel , 70 ; and the Imperieuse , 50 , were the only large screw steam-ships in commission , as the blockships for guarding the naval ports and the other description of screw steam-frigates have not been included in the above detail of the naval resources of this country .
The Admiralty have called for tenders for the supply of 14 , 000 tons of coal , to be delivered at Malta in a short time , for the supply of the fleet . Gun-boat armaments have been sent to Constantinople by the two last Black Sea steamers which have left Southampton . Captain N . L . Sheringham , the commissioner for the western district , visited Barnstaple , in the north
of Devon , last week , and addressed the sailors of the port sf the custom-house . The gallant captain was received most enthusiastically , and his spirited observations were well received . He told the sailors that lie had visited most of the outports , from the Isle at Wight to the Land ' s End , and he was proud to say that he had experienced the utmost alacrity in all classes of seamen to defend their hearths and homes .
Captain Craigio on Friday week visited Lossiemothy where he enrolled 27 men , and Binghead , where 20 names were added . At Nairn a mos £ enthusiastic meeting was held on Saturday , and in less than 20 minutes 43 fine young men enrolled themselves , The fishermen in the districts passed through by Captain Craigie are sending on additional names . Twelve others have volunteered in Buckie , making 86 from that town . There arc now enrolled in all 599 fishermen , of whom 332 are resident at staitions on the south shore of the Moray Firth , and J 81 on the Bainffshire coast alone . In Ireland the riiising of the Coast Guard Volunteers goes on well . A Limerick paper sayB : —
" Captain Jerningham , K . N ., commanding Royal Nava Cont-t Volunteers , returned from un official tour of the const on Monday , including Turbert , Kilruah , Currigaliolt , ami Galway . He met considerabletsucei-es in liia coaat tour , und was beard with reaped and even pknauro when mldreauing

STRIKES AND WAGES—THE CONFERENCE AT THE SOCIETY OF ARTS . Our readers already know that the Council of the Society of Arts , desirous of helping to settle the questions in dispute between masters and men , invited a large number or operatives , masters , and gentlemen interested in the subject , to meet in conference at the rooms of the Society in the Adelphi .

one , their secretary , Mr . A ins worth , and he said he was only there by accident . There were , however , a number of the employers of labour present , not belonging to any organization .
