No damage whatever was sustained by the allied steamers; but it is impossibie to say what the effect of their firing was on those of the enemy. itis certain that they were many times struci:— that. the port-bow the Vladimir's paddle box boat and a part of that ship’s quarter were knocked away; and it is probable that che lost wome of her crew froma shell which burst over her forecastle; but no very se: ‘was done to any ofthem.

THE RUSSIAN ACCOUNT OF THE DOMBARDMENT OF BOMARSUND, (From the St. Petersburg Journal.) The General in command of the troops stationed in Finland apnounces, under date of the 13th June, that the enemy has made ap attempt against the fortress of Aland, bot was succeasfu ly repulsed. On the 9th, at 5 in the » three of the enemy’s veest la (two ateam frigates of 48 aad a steam corvette) approached the fort and opened a violent cannonade against it. The fort resp nded from both tiers, and afterwards the strand battery, armed with four light pieces of artillery from the garrison of Aland, and temporurily erected to the south of the fort, as also two companies of riflemen who cupported it, by their well directed fire, turned the action of the enemy from the fort, and at the same time a cannonball from the battery broke the wheel of a steamboat. The enemy tien abandoning the fort, turned to the strand battery. This battery stood the enemy's fire without inter- rupt:on until exght at night, and the ition was only quitted after the destruction of the parapets. As for the riflewen, who were spread along the shore to the right and left of the battery, they con- tinued their fire without giving way, uxtil the ene- my's vessela had abandoned the battery to attack the fort . Profiting by the enormous calibre of his guns, the enemy cast anchor at 1,000 sagenes, (about one mile and one-third,) from our fortifiga- tions, and threw bombs of three Baas (168 Ib.) balls of 96 Ib., aud 68lb., and Congreve rockets, the fort, Colonel Bodiaco, ing it unnecessary to lose ammunition useleasly in responding to the enemy at so great distance, suspended his fire for some time; but when the ene vessels came nearer with the view of mak!

We have news from Madrid about the military insurrection in Spain to Friday, the 7tn. The telegraph declares tbat insurgents wore in full retreat towards Portugal; but it will probably be some time before detailed accounts enable us to form an exact idea of the causes and procize objects of the present outbreak. The more definite news, too, that is daily arriving from one or other of the seats of war, must eclipee the interest, whien is never very strong, in Spanish effaire. But it Is im- ponaibie that any one —— of historical gecollec- ous or pavitical principle can be wholly «different to what is parting in a country qnee #9 Cistinguish- “to think well of the Spanish people, asa whole.

Ifthe case were as bad as tie Times insinuatee, the people of England would fes! (as far as they cared a the matter at all) just as they feit in Queen Caroline's case, and as t ue- hearted Englishmen always did aud always will feel in the case of women driven into questiovable con- duct by oppression. In such cases they respect misfortune where it is impossible to respect charac- ter; and they will utter and allow no word of insult towards a woman with a suffering heart, whose affections have been turned out of the natural chan- nel by tyranny and outrage. That such was the case with both these Queens nobody disputes; while in both cases the fa.ts of profligacy of conduct were undecided, and wers purposely left so, as not being essential to judgment or action in the matter. We do not feel that the morality of the Queen of Spain is concerned in the question of w continued Sovereignty, sny more than that the private character of Queen Caroline affected her claims as the wife of George IV., and it at present appeara that the Spanish people are of the English way of thinking in the matter. Whatever may be the ob- ject of the present insurrection, ite very firat ene sion is of loyalty to the existing sovereign; and if, as Pease Tepe the object is to remove from the court a set of bad advisers, and cleanse the pa- lace of unconstitutional influences, there cannot be a stronger evidence that a change of yanty is not Soave aned atall. It is clear that the Queen has fearlessly returned to her capital, (from which she was absent at the momnt,) and presented herself freely to her subjecta, taking her drives as usual. It is clear that no band and no voice was lifted against her, whether she was vigorously cheered or reveiyed with total indifference, of both of which we have assurance from those who pretend to have been spectators. Inuifference seems to be the most improbable of oll things, If all the stories of the Time: ous she popules, Sealing. wars reaceee lies 5 taust bave been execration. Bat of execration we hear nothing. The contradiction between erthusiasm and indifference. It appears, at the same time, that the insurgent leaders, having commusnd ot the roads, would not detain the govern- ment property, even forwarding "the money, after examining the carriages which contained it. As to the rest, the obvious consideration is this :—If the insurgents are put down, it must be ase people and the soldiers (the Queen's instruments) are Toyals and if the Hencaents pieerst, they must carry W ith them into power tl profession of lo; alty and devotedness. to the sovereign. So much clear, avd, a8 far os we see, > ae regarca the facts and. t of the hoar.' As tothe comprehensive and darable probabilities ‘of the Spanish case, there are certain facte whieh eppear to us to wartant a hope of better hereafter, substratum of the national: bas always been good. From the old days wien pain gave to Rome Emperors under the names of mn an€ Adrian, and Florus for a histo-ian, and Seneca fora philosopher, and Martial and Lucan for poets, up to the time when Spain missed the R> formation, there was perpetual eviderce, in the form of great men, thet the staple of the national mind was cf fine quality. That Spain miysed the Reformation, and is now so closely upited with Rome as that the apiritual and tortppeal power are in her case more closely combined than anywhere out of the Pspol States, is a ay calsmity, and the more 80, because, as is very well known, the faith by no means corresponds to the profession and the or- ganiz . We are dis; toconeider the unbroken Catholicism of Spain its greatest misfortune—if not the sole cause of her abasement. But there is reason is very difficult to obtain a study of them, behind ‘their dieguises of superstition, and the dispersive effects of bad social organization. But we remem- ber the French invasions, of Bonaparte, and of the Bourbons, and may venture to pronounce on their sounisess of quality, when onc? their | common pathies are roused as the, were in the Peuinsular war, Their teaders were faulty in oil manner of ways: but the people behaved re- markably weil, in the field, im the warfare of the moontains, and in their own homes. They would seem to be worthy of good government ; and we believe that they will have it, sooner or later, and without partir g with the sacred name of their time- donored country. Though there is little Protest- avtism in Spain, there is, perhaps, s-arcely more true Catholicism. Whenever the empty form breaks up, the spirit of liberty will take a new body, both in regard to religion and government. What that form will be we do not think it possible for anyboJy to say. But it will not be a return to any old system ot faith or administration. Tae ret bulls in the arena will not now fight. The ol ideas and ferms are worn out, even in regard to ecclesiastical and secular festivals. A new world will grow out of the remains of the old—proba-, bly by a gradualadvance, and doubtless through many mistakes and much suffering. There is nothing intoe present conzt, orin any existing interest, party. or mon, to lead us to sryett any rapid im- provement or decisive change of any so-t at present. And certainly the one great change of which there is no sort of evidence, and whtek no wise and honest man in England can be conceived to desire, is the baniehment of the Sovereign whom the Spanish netion took from our hands in order to the extinc- tien of that nationality which we sided tuem with a'l our heart and soul to preserve. As Spain, that an derived strength from the ancient he gave rulers, and as Spain still, will give and derive strength in her relations with the world when the modern Rome— with ail her mischiefe, ail her poisons, her yokes, pis amines buried deep ia the catacombs of history.

Among them was Mr. John Carden, Justice of the Peace, and Deputy Lieutenant of Barnane, Templemore, a gentleman of considerable property ,and held in general esteem throughout the locality where he resided, aud he, | tc0, is sald to have shated a similar fate—a fact that seexos corroborated by the singular and extraordi- nery proceedings wit! which he subsequently be- come connected. Ou Sunday loet, Mr. Carden was on a visit in this reigbborhood, having breakfusted at Hearn’s Hotel in this town; he pro-eeded to Rathronan Church, where he attended service, at which Miss Arbuthnot and her sister, the Hon.

At the same time the strange men were observed to draw near to the churchyard gate, and in a short time Mrs. Gongh’s car made ite appearance. In it therewere Lut the two sisters—the Hon.

Most fortauate- ly for Miss Arbuthnot, she sat furthest in the car, which, when passing Mr. Carden, was stopped by one of his men, and he himself rushed to the door and attempted to seize the laity. She screamed toudly and a nde against bim, and her cries immediately ‘ht to her assistance several of the congregation, including some of the retniners at Pathronan, who sturdily battled for the sister of their lady.

The &yceman's Journal good naturedly suggests that lunacy alone could have prompted Mr. Carden to the commission of such an ontrage as that for which he now awaits the verdict of a jury. Tie most famous case of abduction among the upper classes (says the Freeman,) has been graphi- cally deacribea in Mr. Madden’s work. Bir Henry Browne Hays made a bold attempt on the tio fortune of Mies Pike. He was unsuccessful, tried, and transported. His failure, however, was slightly compensated in the celebrity that attached to his name. Sir Henry was quite a popular hero. Bal- lacs were chanted at fait and market, elevating him into a sort of martyr, and denouncing the cruel Pike, whose “ face” was not the “fortune” coveted by the hero, but the thousands of pounds which served as a golden mask for her unattractive features. ‘We are not aware that any very prominent “ abduc- tion case” has turned tp among the aristocracy since the days of the Cork martyr and hero—no case of the real mptorial character, for of ccmpro- mises and hybrids there have been many—uatil the attempt of dir.

The commission reports that the financial state of the opera demands prompt and efficacious measures to prevent the dissolution of the concern, now re- duced to bankruptey. The commiss!on, however, doce not throw the odium of this state of things on any one in particular. The report remarks that the opera isa very expensive institution, as proved by history. Various Seat robradoe were tried in the reign of Louis XVI. with regard to the management of the opera, but without success, the civic régime (i.e. the Parisian municipality) being saddled at one time with a debt of 200,000 livres, aud 112,000 livres of life pensious. It is estimated that this Management lost, in the course of ten years, as much as 3,9 52f., or, on the average, 362,977f. perannum. Yet, during this period, it was onthe stage of the Grand Opera that Glack and Piccini achieved their grandest triumphs. The great Napoleon. clearly saw that the immense expenses of the opera could only be met by o State subvention, whic he at first fixed at 50,000f per month, and ultimately increased to 720,000f. The government of the Restoration adopted the basis of this system, as it could not improve upon them. To thia exceilent arrangement, the lyrical art was indebted for ita ropress after the times of Gluck and Mozart. The French seers was the means of bringing out the p operas of Spontini, of introducing Rossin’s “ Gnil- laume Tell,’ and conclading an agreement with M. ; Meyerbeer for his “Robert le Diable,” &c. The events of July, 1830, were disastrous to the fortunes of the opera. The subvention was reduced b; 40,000f., and at present it only amounts to 620,008. The opera was deprived of many of its exclasive rivileges, and abendoned to private speculators. The success of “ Robert le Diable” retarded the de- ; cline of the opera for a few years, but, in 1840, a | deficit was then declared, and that deficit has in- | creased every year moreandmore, The commission accordingly ‘recommended that the opera -be | under the management of tie civil list, and that its debts be paid by the State. They also strongly surgest the propriety of reviving the works of the ‘great masters of the ancient Freach opera, not ovjy ag an intercating subject of comparison, but for the preservation of the eternal rules of good taste.

He has long bee known on both sides of the Atlantic as a most excel- lent actor, particularly in broad, eccentric parts; and in country boys, such as 'Zekiel Homespum, (“The Heir st Law,”) and Robin Roughhead, (“Fortune’s Frolic,") he had no superior. His Robert Tyke, in the “School of Reform,” was con aldered the very best ever secn, not excepting Emery and Hilson. In the summer of 1862, Mz Lacy, the thcatrical agent on the part of William E, Burton, offered Mr. Thompson very strong indave- ; ments to visit this country, and enrol himself as one of the company at Mr. Burton's theatre, in Chambers j Street.
