The rumours of the i mmediate return of Sir Charles 35 " apier to England are not confirmed . On Thursday the main force of the fleets were in the G-ulf of Finland , and the nrlmirfllR nflPJRovo ) . Tho inhabitants of iliac town are said to have made up their minds to a Ijombardment ; as an attack upon it was to be , it -vras said , the final " coup" of the season . The French troops are on their way home , and . Marshal Baraguay d'Hilliers has arrived at Boulogne , via Paris . It is said the French Baltic fle « t -will visit Cherbourg early next month .
THE ADSTKLANS AT BWCFrAKEST . The Austrian troops under Count Coronini entered Bucharest on the evening of the 6 th inst-Et is said that Omar Pacha has to undergo considerable annoyance from the Austrians . He has teen compelled to send away all the Hungarian officers in liis service , among others , eight of bis oyrn aides ^ de-camp . The Austrian officers are conducting themselves in art intolerably overbearing Manner . A certain General Popovitch has distinguished himself , at the expense of the lodging-house p eepers and ladies of Bucharest , —kicking oft' doors in the houses of the one , and insulting the otljers ; Omar Pacha was obliged to interfere , and Popovitch apologised .
, THE CRIMEA , The first division of the British army destined for Sfebastopol , ejtnbaried at Varna , on the 2 nd inst ., Without difficulty or accident . On the 5 th , the Erench and Turks left Varna to join-the British fleet at Fidonisi , an island off the mouths of the Danube , opposite to Eupotaria in the Crimea . The weather was fine . It is stated that the debarkatibn will be effected at a point near the mouth of the river Katcha , where there is atoout fifteen ; fathoms of water , which will enable the ships to approach very near the shore , and their guns will destroy all the land artillery which can lie opposed to the invading force . Once
ashore , the troops -will immediately begin to entrench themselves , and they will repel with the bayonet all the assaiilts of the Russian troops . The landing © fleeted , the Russian army must be beaten in the field , and possession taken of the heights which command the city . The Russian troops having been overcome , Sebastopol will be invested . It is possible that the [ Russian engineers have constructed formidable entrenchments with redoubts , surrounding and commanding the city . But the Russians have not the command of the sea ; and besides there are several points beyond the circuit of Sebastopol , from which both the city arid the port are assailable . It appear * that the besieging artillery can enfilade the port in a manner that will compel the Russian fleet" either to remain to foe destroyed , or to go out to fight ; and it
appears also that the captuTe of fort Constatitine , which is not less pTegnablc than Bornarsund , -will promptly terminate the siege . The preparations on the part of the Russians are said , to be formidable . At Sebastopol tho intention is to resist vigorously . Forts are being built to protect the coasts at a distance of four leagues from Sebastopol . A mass of flreships are being prepared to bo sent against the vessels of the enemy . In addition to tho usual garrison at Scbogtopol , there are 60 , 000 men in the camp established near the town , and reinforcements are constantly arriving . The Russian fl « et is armed , and , it appears , will not remain inactive during the operations . Tho fcest pilots arc distributed amongst the vessels . Prince Menschilcoff directs , in person the measures , of defence .

Espartero was about to move into the house he occupied after the revolution of 1840 . It is said that— " According to information derived from the best source , the Republican , party in Madrid is availing itself of the inaction of the Government to organise an extensive conspiracy , and there is every reason to believe that Spain is on the eve of a new outbreak . This time the movement will be directed against the Throne and monarchical institutions . Senor Orense" was said to be- connected -with it . He has . disappeared !

LAW AND ORDEB . The Sectarian Rio , ts at Newton-LImavady , in the north of Ireland , have been the cause of much excitement . A Roman Catholic priest was returning one night from a sick call , when , as stated by his friends , he was assailed by some groups of persons in the street , and that he fired a pistol , as he sayB , merely to frighten his assailants . The newspapers of the two religions give amazingly contradictory accounts of the affair , the priest being the assailant or the assailed , according to tho faith of the narrator .

There JiSfc Been an outbreak of Irish navigators at Hofadyrywys , Trear Crumlin , in Wales —
It appears tbat six Irish navvies , in the employ of Mr . Firb ) nnk , took- it into their beads to visit the railway labourers at that place , for the sole purpose , apparently , of creating a disturbance .- After committing some outrages at the € k « yhoandibeershop , they proceeded to a shed where a mini "Was at worJc , and beataad knocked him about in a most savage and brutal * manner * , without a word having been previously exchanged between { hem . They then went to the Hofadyrywys pubfichouse , where they called for a quart of beer , and afterwards for another , but the landlord , seeing that they bad had too much , refused to draw them any more , One of them then went to a coal neap , took ut » the
shovel , and commenced smashing the windows . Just at this time one of the men working on the line came along with a horse and cart , and tley knocked him down with the shovel , and cut his bead very severely , and kicked him about .. While ihese things were going on , a gentleman travelling in a gig came up , and inquired what was the matter , -when they replied with oaths and curses thew -would very soon show him , and commenced pelting him with stones till iie found the wisest policy to adopt was to quit the scene as quickly as possible . A regular village riot ensued r the Welsh colliers attacked the Irish ; and large bodies of the County Police had to be called in .

THE PRICE OF PROVISIONS . The controversy is going on in- various parts of the country between the bakers and their customers about the price of bread . In some fevy instances the disputes have taken the form of breaking the windows of delinquent bakers . It appears that handbills are circulating at Exeter , inviting the committees of trie local benefit societies to meet and form a bread company , in order to secure to the public of tbat city its - 'fair- share in the blessings of a bountiful harvest . In the handbill referred to , which is dated the 7 th instant , it is said— " In January last corn was selling at 88 s . the quarter ; on Friday last it sold at 52 s ., being More than 4 s . per bushel less than in January ; besides , in-the last two weeks wheat has fallen l < Js . per quarter , and our modest
bakers have dropped one halfpenny on the 41 b . loaf . On Tuesday last , Mr . Gardiner , one of the principal bakers of Banbury , brought 500 loaves of bread to the town of Buckingham , which were all sold iu the Market-place within forty minutes , at 6 d . and 5 d . the 41 b . loaf ; be promised to come again on Saturday with a Uirger supply , l > ut expressed himself ready to retire when bread was sold at afair and . reasonable price . A great competition has "been going on at Waddesdon among the baKers , and consequently Dread is very much reduced in price . A good loaf is selling there at 4 £ d . The village has been all alive on the question , and the blessings of a cheap loaf seem to be duly appreciated . On Thursday a band of music and procession were parading the village , which was in a stat « of excitement . The price of wheat , says the Maidstone JTovrnai , has fallen within the last four weeks from 17 s . to 20 s . a quarter , yet in the face of this , and of the prospect of a : still greater reduction in the price of wheat , and , of consequence , flour , tho
uravesend bakers charge just three farthings less m tlie quartern loaf than when wheat was 89 s . the quarter , instead of 56 s . its present price . The wisest means to compel these combined bakers to deal fairly with the public , would be the establishment of a " Bread Consuming Company , " such as is now being established in several of the manufacturing towns , for the protection of tho working classes against this worst ot all monopolies—the bakers ' monopoly in the price of bread . A great reduction appears to have tuken place in Scotland , for , on Friday , throughout the town of Arbroath , tho price of the 41 b . loaf was reduced to Gd . Oatmeal is now aelling at 2 s . 2 Jd , per stone . The Glasgow Commonwealth follows up the question with a " Word to tho Butcher "; it states— " The oaker is not the only man who is indisposed to follow the markets when fclioro is a fall . The butchers , we are afraid , forget when tho price of beasts is reduced . Wo find that , in Snuthiield , butchers' meat has begun to fall as compared with prices a month ago . If wo contrast tho tariff at the beginning oi August and September , the . reduction "will bo olem-ly perceived : —
August . September . Beef . 3 a . 4 d . to 5 » . 4 d . — Os . Od . to 4 s . lOd . Mutton , 4 s . 2 il . —5 s . 2 d . — 4 s , Od . — 6 s . Od . Lnmb , 4 a . 8 d . — fis . 8 d . — 4 s . 4 < J . — 4 a . M . It ia high timo tho price of butchers' m « at wns giving wny ; for , although the traffic in boasts now established between Scotland and London tends to withdraw the supplies , and the high wages enjoyed by so many of our operatives lead to < i greater consumption tlmn usual , and tho two circumskwccs united tond to » -aiso tho price of tho commodity , it ia still at a price unnaturally high .
