SUNDAY , SEPTEMBER 9, 1854. 
K. — We shnll, of course, be happy to forward any communication to the 
"Hampshire Fly-Fisher,” if addressed to our care, at 403, Strand. 
Monsieur ( llieliiuoml ).- Tuesday or Wednesday, at twelve, will suit us. 
Wuemf.— Wo cannot point out any establishment where “stuffed speci- 
mens of all our river- fish" can bo inspected. It would, certainly, 
ouswer the purpose to fit up a room or two for such an exhibition. 
CRICKET. 
O .—' The Rules have been sent to you by post. On the other points, we 
should advise you to consult Mr. Detuson, Audcrton's Hotel, Fleet- 
street. rite to him ut once. 
Z . — It is quite true Lilly white is dead, llequiescat in inter. 
S T. A’.— Either ut Lord's or tho Oval. Whichever you like. 
POULTRY. 
I).— So many letters reached us on the subject that we wore compelled to 
answer by post. We cannot always afford space to print our replies 
D- idtr/mib. (/»).— Hud the prize-list, Ac., been forwarded, we should with 
great pleasure, have put all in print. Surely, if publication through 
the columns of Tub Fikld is deemed so "very advantageous," it 
would be no great trouble to furnish the matter. But perfectly under- 
stand this: you must give us real nnmc nud address, in eoulitletue. 
" A clear stage and no favour," is our motto. 
MISCELLANEOUS. 
M. M — Mr. Urquhnrt may be riglit or wrong. But Tub Fikld 
eschews party politics; and we therefore decline to open the door to 
such communications as those you have enclosed to us for consideration. 
Apply to the editor of some daily paper. Wo would ourselves rather 
huut a fox than a politician, though on many sulqeets ive have per- 
sonally no objection to an occasional “ brush." But public duty super- 
sedes private inclination. I ale. 
L. L It — There are plenty of Freemasons among the Turks. 
P M (Lirer/sjol ). — All the heads of departments on Tub Fisld arc 
"brothers.” If you have not time to write original reports, cut out 
those in tlie local papers, correct w hat is erroneous, and, so corrected, 
we will most fraternally print them. We can always find in Tub 
Field a niche lor Freemasonry. Try us, 
NEWS OF THE WEEK. 
The meeting of Royalties at Boulogno, this week, is tlie 
topic of immediate interest. Tlie files, of which full details 
will be found in auother portion of our journal, are by uo 
means concluded while we write. The reception of Prince 
Albert by the Emperor was most cordial ; and we presume 
that so agreeable a meeting promises, at no distant date, 
another, iu which the lady sovereigns of Euglaud and France 
will take part. After the review, on Wednesday, all the 
French generals were presented to Prince Albert, who ex- 
pressed his satisfaction at the appearance and discipline of 
the troops, and Ids hope for a continued entente cordiale 
between the countries. Without setting these graceful cere- 
monials at more than their value, it is pleasant to record 
such evidences that the rulers of the leadiug peoples of 
Europe see the advantage of striviug to cultivate aud develops 
the good understanding to which enlightenment points ns 
the true wisdom of nutious. 
Wc await the decision of a council of war which has beeu 
called to consider whether, in the present state of the Anglo- 
French forces, the attack upon the Crimea can be attempted 
with hope of success. The news that the question had 
become one of doubt came upon the public with a dis- 
heartening effect, aud was looked upon as a sad sequel to 
the boastful announcement, that on a certain day tho expe- 
' dition would have sailed. “ Councils of war never fight," is 
1 an old adage, and most persons are disposed to believe that 
the year's campaign will close without the attack. But we 
learn, by telegraph from Vienna, that on the 25th of August 
Marshal St. Arnaud had issued an order of the day, 
acquainting the troops that the destination of the expedition 
was the Crimea, aud that the duty of the allied forces 
would be to take Sebastopol as a pledge of peace. What- 
I ever decision may be arrived at, we cannot but tbiuk that 
the conduct of our own Government, in suddenly publishing 
the announcement that the expedition was positively to sail, 
was unadvised. The setting forth should have been beyond 
.•ill doubt before Europe was apprised of the meditated coup. 
The defeat of the Turks iu Asia has been, we regret to 
say, more decisive than was at first supposed. They have 
not only been utterly routed iu two battles — namely, at 
Bayazid aud Kurukdfcrfc — but they have displayed a 
cowardice which was hardly to be expected. Neither army 
is stated to have shown “ any military qualities," but tho 
Russians were victorious; which, after all, is the most 
satisfactory military result. Great blame is thrown upon 
the English authorities for these disasters. Both iu Con- 
stantinople and in London the demoralised condition of tho 
Turkish forces was well known, aud tlie presence of a few 
European troops and some capable officers would have 
reversed the history of the campaign. Three or four 
Englishmen, who were in the Turkish ranks, exerted them- 
selves with a skill and gallantry which does them all honour, 
but there was uo dealing with the disorganised masses ; and, 
in a word, the vaunts of St. Petersburg will, iu these two 
instances, be justified. Owing to the advanced state of the 
season, the Russians, it is thought, will not follow up their 
Asian successes ; but there is no other consideration which 
need stop them. 
The Bomarsund prisoners have arrived, and an almost 
unnecessary lecture has been read by the ministerial organ 
on the necessity of treating them kindly. When are 
foreigners ever treated otherwise than kindly in England — 
except when Jew lawyers lock up opera-singers? We do 
not think that the Russian captives have much to fear, or 
that the remark of Mr. Lilly wick, founded on his hearing 
the French prisoners talk, — namely, that “ French is a 
melancholy language," — will be verified as regards the 
Russian tongue spoken here. Baraguay d’Hilliers, Napier, 
and the other commanders, have issued an address to the 
Aland islanders, announcing that they must muintain order, 
and may trade with Sweden as heretofore, the blockade 
being raised, but that severe punishment will follow any 
intercourse with the enemy, or with Finland. 
The Russians are under orders fur the immediate evacua- 
tion of Moldavia; but, to the great indignation of the 
inhabitants, the Moldavian militia has been forcibly incor- 
porated into the Russian army. The effect of the various 
arbitrary and tyrannical actions by which the year's occupation 
of the Principalities has been marked, will be favourable to 
Turkey, inasmuch as the conduct of the Russians has excited 
a fierce spirit of hatred among the outraged population. 
The ravages of the epidemic with which we are now visited 
are very fearful, and are indisputably ou the increase. The 
incessant labours of the medical men of London among the 
sick, actually prevent our having very accurate information 
as to the numbers who perish, for there is often no time 
allowed to make up the returns. But, with all the imperfect 
statistics which cau be furnished, the startling fact is dearly 
established, that in last week the deaths in the metropolis 
were more than double what they ought to have been, 
according to the ordinary averages, and tlie excess is due to 
cholera. Those to whom we address ourselves are not likely 
to belong to the class whose dwelliugs and avocations increase 
them liability to the disorder, nor, we would hope, are they 
of the order of mind which suffers itself to be prostrated by 
foolish panic. Temperance, cleanliness, aud good heart, we 
take to be the grand specifics against the disease, but should
