THE RETURN OF THE ARMY . We read in the Crimean correspondence in this day ' s Times : — " The preparations for the speedy evacuation of the Crimea are pressed on-with rapidity and energy . Each , division collects about 4000 shot a day , and they are carried to Balaklava as fast as the means at our disposal- —railway and land transport—will permit . It is stated-that 6000 Sardinians will be the first to leave , and the Guards will probably be the first English troops to quit the scene of their suffering , of their en ^ durance , and of'their glory . . . . There have been some unlawful expeditions made by sundry officers , from , the rank of General downwards , across , the Tchernaya to Mackenzie's Farm and , the . north forts .. It ; is stated that passes -will not be required for officers , and there has been a great deal of fraternisingbetween the Russians and the English . "

The Cjmmean Board ( Yesterday ) . —Colonel Tullooh read , his reply yesterday ( Friday ); after which , Lord : Lucan requested that the Court might adjourn till Monday , to give him an opportunity of ? reading Colonel Tulloch ' s statement 1 before , making 1 , hia own reply . This was granted ; and the Judge-Advocate-General intimated that , on that day , if his . lordship concluded his caso in time , they would proceed at once "with Lord Cardigan ' s * The Adultera . 'txosp op Food CoaiMEmHEi also assembled yesterday . Mr . John Jaokson , a miller , at Wakefield , was examined , and gave , a very interesting accounb * of the manner in which alum and composite matter is ground up by small millers with wheat , thereby
adulterating the ' flour * fpr tho ' purpose of giving it a better colour ; Ho- thought that recent exposures- had done much goodj and that millers in extensive business would not attempt to commit similar frauds , knowing that their * whole stock would be liable to seizure at any time , Ho would' recommend a wholesome inspection of nil flour mills , that is , the appointment of a person who really understands what he ia inspecting . Many of tho persons who inspect flour do not know ground alum from flour , and know not the difference between Egyptian and English -wheat . The rule for appointing inspectors ought to bo mon who understood what thoy are examining , instead of which incompetent persons are appointed , thereby leaving tho door open for frnud .

? — THE TKEA . TY . Thebe has been , since the commencement , of the war , a popular as well as an official interpretation of its objects , in Russia no less than , in England . In Bussia the manifestos of Nicp ; oiAS and Axexahdeb , appealing to the fanaticism and servility of the population , represented the conflict as one between tfe © powers of light and darkness , in which tke Czars would carry the Cross , foriUianily anjd victoriously , against a , nation of infidels ia alliance with the heretics of the West . This ,
with the assertion of a sacred mission , of iavincible strength , and Christian constancy , was a species of rhodomontade conforniable to the state of Imowledgei and ! , Reeling in ., tho Russian Empire . In England ,, them wa » rhodomontade of another sort . Statesmen and journalists , who knew that the . AlIiedGtar vernnients were contending for political points not likely to be , appreciated , by the Yast body of
tax-paying individuals , addressed themselves to the half-selfish , half-generous enthusiasm . o £ the public , invoked , the names , of l i berty and Civilisation , prophesied the approaching end of tyranny , and , even suggested the downfal of Russia . A war of principles "was . aainounced , while every interest that represented a principle was carefully disavowed . In , tjie mean , while , however ^ the real objects of the
war had been recorded in the diplomatic correspondence of the Cabinets . Russia had forcibly violated the Turkish frontier in support of certain claims which were resisted by Turkey , in conjunction with the Western Governments . The despatches of the French and British Ministers , so far as they have been published ,, clearly implied" tihaj ? the attack upon the . Ottoman JSinpire woulriU ^ e repelled ; that the Bussian pretensions to a special sovereignty in the dominions of the Port © would be resented and must be
withdrawn j that securities would be taken against further encroachments on her p , ai : t along the line of the Danube or tlie Black Sea ; that to enforce these , concessions the Allied Powers would assail Russia on f&l her vulnerable frontiers ; and that to av « r ; the losses and dangers of a protracted war , Russia must submit to exist ) under the lav of Europe , and give adequate proofs of Jhoi
submission . This , aa far as the substance oj a hoavy diplomatic portfolio can bo presented in a paragraph , is the sense of all tho . communications forwarded to Sfc . Petersburg from Paris and London . Similar principles , wore laid down more vaguely in the formal de . duration of war . Subsequently ,, Austria an nouncod a modifiedconcurreuce .

MARRIAGE WITH A DEGEABEB " WlBSi ' S SISTER . The Earl of St . Gjekjiazms moved the second reading of a bill to legalise marriage with , a deceased wife ' s sister , and brought forward all the arguments which have been so often urged on this topic—The Bishop of Gxyom > moved the rej ectiom of the bill in a very long and elaborate speech . —The measure waa supported by the Earl of Albemarle and Lord Havenswoiuch , Earl Gbett and the Earl of Ellesmere , and opposed by Lord Dun-gannon , Lord Campbeul , the Bishops of Cashpl , St .
