t of the "Fury® with Rus - sian Frigates, Engagemen A letter fuom Baltchik, Kavarna Bay, dated the 14th of April, states that on the 10th inst., Her Majesty's ship Fury left the fleet there on a eruise, unaccompanied by any French steamer. On the afternoon of the 1ith, the western coast of the Crimea was distinctly visible, and in order not to be discovered too soon she stood off from it.-- During the night and in the early part of the morning she gradually edged in to the shore, but the brilliancy of the moon was a. great drawback to her plans. On the 12th at half- past 3 a.m., she steamed ahead at full speed, and at half-past 5 came in sight of Sebasto- pol. By this time the sun had risen, and the morning was unclouded, so that objects at a long distanee were visible. 'I'wo merchant vessels were seen coming out of port with the Russian ensign flymg, one of which rapidly approached, carrying a splendid breeze with her. The Fury passed her, taking a survey of the harbor, at a distance of 23 miles.-- 'T'wo brigs of war were under way, and the two frigates stationed at the mouth of the harbor were crossing gallant and royal yards. The Fury at six a. m., changed her course, hoisted Austrian colours, and bore down on the merchant ships.. An hour after, having taken the crew on board, six in wamber, and made one of the ships fast by a hawser, she towed her off at full speed. The two brigs, followed by two frigates, were then seen to leave the harbour under all plain sail, nnd a steamer getting up steam. Wind W. byS. force five to six--the most favorable that could blow for them--at 735. It was now. clear that the frigates were rapidly nearing, the Fury being three miles or more to the leeward. Immediately the fore and aft sails were set, the prize cut adrift, and the steam brought to its highest pressure, so that she absolutely flew to windward. Still the fri- gates seemed to be gaining ground, and the position of the Fury became highly danger- ous, as now two miles were the most that separated the enemies. 'Tons of water were started, all except two days' requirements, which was.a considerable assistance. | At 8 30 one of the frigates dropped, and the two brigs'; but still the other kept in the wind's eye. At 854 the windward frigate and the Fury came so close as to be almost within range of the long guns of the latter, when the order " Open fire" was given. Imme- diately steady aim-was taken; the sternmost gun fired, and down dropped the shell a yard distant from her lee bow. 'She immediately replied by firing too, but the shot did not reach half way, and hoisted the Russian en- sign at her main, which was responded to. by re-loading with rapidity and again firing.-- The shot still fel! a little short and more to leeward. Again she fired four guns at the Fury, and another ensign was run. up at, the "fore, for which another shell was fired, though it fell still shorter, as the Fury was rapidly increasing the distance. Having thus gone to windward, but still out of range, the idea was entertained of engaging the frigate with long guns, but at this time the steamer was rapidly advancing, and. it was considered more prudent to remain content with taking the merchant vessel with six prisoners from beneath the fortifications. When the Fury went alongside the schooner she hauled down the Austrian colours, and hoisted the English ensign, which startled them a little in harbour. The rage of the Russians must have been great, as they seemed sure of catcbing. the Fury, and the hoisting of three ensigns was an angry attempt to challenge a steamer of six guns to engage a frigate of forty, and she to. windward ! H. M. Ship Furious fired iupon at Odessa. 'CONSTANTINOPLE, April 12th.--The Banshee came in on Monday night from Beljik, near Cavarna, latest station of the British fleet in the Black.Sea. Her Majes- ty's Ship Furious had been detached from the fleet at Beljik, and sent.to Odessa, to} ' take off the British Consul and 75 residents who. are British subjects. The Furious ar- rived off Odessa at 6 o'clock on the morning of the 8th inst., and stopped at the distance. of a mile and a half from the port. A boat 'was manned and placed under the command of Mr. Alexander, the third lieutenant of the Furious, with whom was Mr. Parsons, naval cadet. The boat hoisted a flag of truce,' and entering the port in despite of the signals made to warn him off, Mr. Alexander. gal-.|, lantly determined to execute his commission, ran her on shore, where he was received by a crowd of Russian-soldiers and other func- tionaries, who effectually resisted his landing. A dispute ensued, and the boat lay on the beach a considerable time. During this de- lay several captains of British merchantmen, |, now prisoners at Odessa, made their way through the crowd with the intention of speaking to. the officer in command of the boat. . 'They were rudely pulled back by the soldiery, who conducted them into the town. Finding at length that all his endeavours to obtain an interview with the officer in com- mand of, the place were unavailing, Mr. Al- exander gave orders to pull back tothe ship. 'But he had scarely quitted the port, when, it appears, the commandant of Odessa, having been apprised of the arrival of a British poat's crew with a flag of truce, orders were sent down to the harbour, and the strand batteries opened upon the boat and the ship, without. doing harm. to «either, though they threw shot and shells. A frigate, too, eame out of the harbour, and chased the boat, though without.success, for Mr. Alex- ander and his crew got safe. on board. the Furious, which then tried to get near the Russian vessel. . The Russian, who was un- able to return to Odessa, ran away, and the 'furious ran after her until the Russian took refuge' in Cherson, where she went into shallow water, where the Furious could not follow her. 'The. vessel returned to. Beljik, and reported the affair to Admiral Dundas. She joined the fleet on Sunday morning, and in the afternoon came the. Banshee, with the official news of the declaration of war. The fleet received this intelligence with the great- est enthusiasm. The sailors manned the yards, and gave three hearty cheers for Old England and the Queen. The Banshee, which returned to the Bosphorus, left the fleet at Beljik on Monday. The fleet itself was under orders to sail for Odessa: early on the morning of Tuesday, the 11th inst., and by this time the Russians at Odessa will have been called to account for their gross violation of the rules of war among civilised nations. Wuiskery Acarn: Inquest._--Com- plaint having been made, the other day, to, Dr. Wanless, coroner, that a death had ta- ken place in the north-west part of the Town- ship-of Williams, in this county, some time since, under very suspicious circumstances, pe {he repaired thithér, had the body exhumed, 'granite cubes, the 5th is of logs. -port, and although such a suggestion from a | pons at the piratical attempt above referred and held an inquest. The evidence went to show that several of the O'Henly's, MeIn- tyre's, McKechnie's, and a large number of emigrants from the Island of Uist, who loca- ted in Williams some two or three years ago, had-been drinking at a tavern, on. the Centre Road, oné evening; some wrestling ensued between the parties ; the blood of the Islanders got up; clubs were readily seized : and one, Neil O'Henly, who has since fled, was seen by several witnesses to inflict a blow on the temples of the deceased, Cather- ine McIntyre, which felled her to the ground ; she was taken home senseless, and lingered only a jfew days and died. A post-mortem examination was made by Dr. Peter Stewart of Lobo; he found a wound through the scalp, over the left temple, with fracture of the orbital plate of the frontal bone, fracture of the " key-bone " of the skull, with exten- sive disease of the brain itself, the result of the blow on the temples, and the cause of death. Verdict--" Willful Murder."--Pro- tolype. Defen .es of St, Petersburg, From the seaside St. Petersburg is protected by the fortiess of Cronstadt, which lying on an island commands the narrow channels through which large vessels have to approach the capital. At the back of the island, towards the coast of Finland, there was also a channel through which vessels of the size of a sloop could pass, but this was blocked up at the beginning of the century by means of piles and huge blocks of stone, and a' week since large square stones were sunk until the passage was completely impossible. An attack on Cronstadt is therefore only possible from the narrow channel, which in its various twistings snd turnings is commanded, for a distance of nearly four English miles, by the fort in front of the Island. All signs, buoys, posts, &c, have been removed. lJivenif the vessels have the most experienced pilots on board, they will be obliged to move very slowly, and conse- quently a vessel advancing to the attack would be for a whole hour exposed to the fire of the Russian batteries, some of which have Paixhan's guns of 130 pounds. Ifa single ship of the line is sunk the channel is so effectually closed that the others cannot advance. Cursory mention" has already been made.of Professor Jacobi's invention for destroying vessels at. sea, and the German writer now gives some details on the subject. Strong iron chests charged with powder and other combustibles are sunk in the sea, and connected by means of wires with a galvanic battery outside." Above the chests is some machinery, which on being touched by the keel of a passing vessel, causes two galyanized wires to come into contact, which produces an electric spark, and with it an explosion." A hundred sub-marine mines of this kind are said to have been sunk in the channel leading to Cronstadt. Military men in St. Petersburg are divided in their opinions as to whether the fortifications of Cronstadt will be able to resist the heavy artillery of the ships. Four off the forts are formed of immense The greatest danger for Cronstadt is that these forts may be taken one after the other, as each of them will be exposed to the united fire of a great number of vessels. After all, the greatest security for the place is the narrowness of channel, which just at the entrance to the port, behind fort Mentchikoff, will be commanded by two enormous batteries, formed of old ships of the line. It must depend on the state of the ice whther it will be possible to send the two divisions of the flect which are still at Cronstadt to Sweaborg (Helsingfors), which is considered impregnable. Gen. Dehu, of the engineers, has been appointed military Governor of Cronstadt, and Admiral Ricard, an old but energetic man commands the fleets. Relations of Spain and the United States. Correspondence of the London Times. Maprip, Friday, April 21, 1854. Mr. Soule is reported to have said that the settlement of the dispute with the Unated States would be greatly facilitated by the dis- missal of the present Ministry ; and, althongh I by no means vouch for the truth of this re- foreign envoy would be pretty sure, with so haughty and jealous a people as the Spamards, to defeat its own object, yet, should the dis- pute in question unfortunately lead to serious difficulties between the two countries, the early downfall of the Cabinet might be one of its earliest results. Last night, in the saloon of an ex-minister, -an idle report, which obtained no credit, of hostilities being imminent between Spain and the United States, brought on a discussion as to the probable consequences of such a struggle, especially as regards the island of Cuba. Its garrison of upwards of twenty thousend men, and the improvements that haye been made in its fortifications since the attack of the Filibusteros, afford, in the opinion of the Spaniards, a suflicient guaran- tee for the safety of that possession in the event of a war with the United States. The troops there are now armed with Minie rifles, instead of the wretched flint muskets, upwards of twenty years old, which were their wea- to. 'There are also Paixhan guns in the bat- teries of the island, and there is no reason to doubt that a stout defence would be made. But I incline to think that the Spaniards, al- though they may not possibly overate their own military value and means of defence, un- derrate the prowess of their anticipated ene- mies. 'I"hey justly enough observe, that the successes of the Americans in their wars with the degenerate and-undisciplined Mexicans are not to be taken as an argument that they would be equally successful m an attack on Cuba. At the same time they hardly take sufficiently into consideration the tenacious valor of the Anglo-Saxon race, the expert rifle practice of the Americans, and their abundance of wealth, the great element of success in war. 'J'o any but Spaniards there can scarcely be a shadow of doubt as to the fate of Cuba in case of a war between Spain. and the States--supposing, of course, non- interference on the part of any powerful ally of the former country. At the same time, America would not escape undamaged in a contest with this comparatively feeble country. The ocean would be quickly covered with privateers under Spanish colors, and American com- merce would: suffer greatly. And at the _ last moment, when all hope was lost, I fully believe that Spain would emanctpate the slaves and abandon the island to them sooner than see its darling posseession-- and flourishing poss of the ambitious and encfoaching Republic which giases it so much uneasiness. I infer this, at least, from the tenor of con- verstion here, and I doubt not that the Spaniards, their ingenuity stimulated -- by their defeat and spoliation, would find mtans to leave. the island in such a state as to give the Americans a vast deal of trouble, even aficr the last European had quitted its shores. The more sensible men in this country ad nit that Cuba must sooner or later pass into the possession of the States; but they admitit with a feeling of infinite bitterness, and with a stubborn resolution that the change of owners shall occur as late as possible and the prize dsarly bought by the conquerors. Explosion of Rockets at Woolwich The above casualty, at this moment, so calculated to excite apprehension in the public mind, took place at the Royal Arsenal on Good Friday, between ten and eleven o'clock. It appeared from information collected from authentic sources, that two umfinished 24lb. rockets had exploded 'The accident first occurred in a compartment worked by a man named Parcott, and spread itself into the adjoining one, where a dockyard man named Newstead was at work. The men employed in the rocket-house rushed out ina state of terror, and Mr. Pickering, and found a pertion of hhe buildmg in flames. Considerable apprehension existed that the large barrows of rockets arranged by the men when finished, would ignite, and gangs were immediately set to work to remove them. The engines of the arsenal were speedily and most efficiently worked by the military and men, aided by Mr. Inspector Gravestock and the dockyard police. A company of sappers and miners, under the direction of Colonel Walpole, also did good. service. Colonel Wilson and the foreman of the dock men were present, encouraging and stimula- ting the men. In the space of fifteen min- utes the devastating element was conquered. Considerable fears were at first entertained for the men, numbering about fifty-nine, who were at work in the rocket-house, but after the tumult had subsided, it was happily found that neither life nor limb had been sacrificed. The cause of the accident is conjectured to be the overloading of Parrott's case; and the force of the explosion may be imagined when it is stated that the west side of the house. was completely blown down. Several windows in the neighborhood were also demolished, and the report could be heard for miles distant. A similar accident, itis stated, occurred about two years ago. ice In the late "Address of the Woman's Rights Convention," we find the following : "We support ourselves, and in part, your schools, colleges, churches, your poorhousex, jails prisons, the army, navy, the whole machinery of government, and yet we have no voice in your councils. We have every qualification required by the constitution necessary to the legal voter, but the one of sex. We are moral, virtuous, and intelligent, and in all: respects quite equal to the proud white man himself. We have guided great movements of charity, established missions, edited journals, published works on history, econo- my and statistics; have governened nations, led armies, filled the professor's chair; taught philoso- discovered planets and piloted ships across the sea." FUGITIVE SLAVES IN CANADA. A'degree of attention has of late been directed jo the condition of the Fugitive Slaves. resident in Canada, but comparatively little information concerning them has reached the public. The resence in this country of the Rev. Samuel ingold Ward, who has' been delegated by the Anti-Slavery Society of Canada to make the ease of these Refugees. more generally known, has caused. a- number of Gentlemen to form a Com- mittee, for the purpose of raising a fund to afford them temporary relief, on their arrival in Canada, from the scene of their bondage. The entire number of Fugitives in Canada may be estimated at from thirty thousand to thirty-five thousand, of whom from three to five thousand have annually escaped since the passing of the Fugitive Slave Law. On their arrival at Toronto, and other..places along the Canadian frontier, that is, along a boundary of some seven hundred miles, they are usually destitute of every thing, having generally fled stealthily, and with- out making much preparation for flight. 'l'hey undergo numerous privations on their painful and wearisome journey, being in constant peril by the. way, not only through the Slave States, but through the Northern, or nominally free. At any point, if overtaken, or discovered, or even suspected, they may be dragged before the Courts, and, upon a most summary process, sent back to endure a bondage of which the ord nary rigours are always increased in the case of Fugitives, to operate as a warning to others. Hence, during their flight, they are ina constant state of sus- pense, fear, and excitement; and when they reach the Canadian frontier, usually fall into a condi- tion of bodily and mental prostration, which renders them incapable of immediate efforts, and makes them objects of compassionate interest. Being strangers, destitute of the commonest necessaries, and in some instances, suffering from temporary illness and over fatigue, they require a helping hand. The Anti-Slavery Society of Canada, and a Ladies' Society at Toronto, pro- vide these Refugees with food, clothing, tools, or whatever , they require, until they procure em- ployment and can support themselves. This necessarily entails a very considerable expendi- ture, which these Societies.are not in a position t» meet to the extent to which their. aid is needed. It is not only an interesting fact, but one which should be emphatically dwelt upon, that the Re- fugee Fugitives require only temporary assistance. Labour of every kind is in great demand, and the Society being "kept duly informed of the parties who are in want of labourers, they sel- dom fail to procure employment.on advantageous terms. In no instance wi:hio the last year and a half has the Society been called upon to extend re- lief for more than six days, except in cases of sick- ness. The fund soughtio be raised is therefore nol intended to be set aside to maintain able- bodied men in idleness for an indefinite period, but to enable the Canadian Society to respond to' the large claims made upon it, to supply the more immediate and pressing demands of the Fugitives on their arrival, and until they have sufficiently recovered from fatigue to avail themselves of the advantages of abundant employment and food, good wages, cheap land, equal liberty, and im- partial laws, and the privileges and rights which are common to other classes of Canadians. Canada being the nearest of the British Colonies to the United States, (the stronghold of Slavery) it is of no sinall impor'ance tu encourage the im- provement and elevationjof these negro refugees, because of the influence, direct and reflex, which would thereby be brought to bear upon American Slavery. The black settlers of Canada are nearly all of them fugitives from slavery. 'Their im- provement would be a triumphant rebuke to those who once held thei as chattles, and to those who hold that the slave requires to be prepared: for freedom; for they would exhibit the spectacle of a people just escaped from the galling yoke com- peting as free men, successfully and honourably with other labour. Further, as there exist in Canada some of the prejudices against colour, and as the progressive inprovement of the coloured population ts gradually undermining and destroy- ing this feeling, their improvement affords a prac- tical demonstration, not only of the equal capacity of the negro fur self=advanecement where he has a proper incentive to labour, but of the. unreason- ableness of the prejudice against him. Lastly, his social elevation by his own industry and enter- 'prise, is even now trimuphantly proving the fitness of the slave for freedom, the righteous- ' the " Queen of the Antilles," for an easy prey ness and the practicability of immediate emanci- the master congreve rocket maker, arrived. phy and mathematics to the savans of our age, | T Mrs. W.

At a large and respectable meeting held in Free- mason's Hall the Right Hon. the Earl of Shat- tesbury in the Chair,--after an Address from Rev. S. R. Warp, showing the condition of the Fugi- tive Slaves in Canada and stating their need of temporary aid immediatély upon their arrival in that Colony.--it was proposed by the Rev. C.

Samuen RinGotp Warp, respecting the destitu- tion of the Fugitive Slaves on thier arrival in Canada arene teens their escape from the United States; and, feeling that under such circumstances they have aclaim on our sympathy, and need temporary assistance, this Meeting cordially ap- proves of the object of the mission, and pledges itself to promote it; and that for carrying out of the same the following Gentlemen be the Officers and Committee, with power to add to their number.
